Eris is telling about the exploits of The Owner full of pride.
I was making a bitter smile listening to that conversation, while facing Lilia with my awareness.
She was sitting on the other side of the table.
If it's her, in the past I've only talked to her bit by bit.
Well, I wonder what I should talk about.
While I was hesitating, Lilia started the conversation.
"Let me thank you once again, Rudeus-sama. To have my life saved by you not just once but twice, I am deeply moved."
"Please stop. This time I didn't do anything."
"No, I heard that from faint bits of information Rudeus-sama especially came to Shirone to visit."
While saying that Lilia deeply lowered her head.
I just did what the Hitogami said.
After that, I really didn't do anything at all.
I just disgracefully fell into a trap and had to wait for help.
If you're trying to say I deserve gratitude for that, the me in my past life would have been a big-shot.
"Please show your gratitude to Eris and Ruijerd. Thanks to their skillful actions things ended smoothly."
"I did talk to them for a bit longer, but they said it was all Rudeus-sama's scheme."
"There's no way that was the case."
"...If Rudeus-sama says so."
She looks dissatisfied.
It's not like I've called out black as white or anything.
"By the way, has Aisha said anything impolite to you?"
Lilia took a glance outside the window, sighing a bit while coming out saying something like that.
"Not at all. She's an excellent child. To be able to think and act like that at six years would normally never happen."
Well, her claws were just a bit too skilled though.
I'll keep silent.
I can't really talk about other people.
"I don't think it's to the extent of Rudeus-sama... These past few years, I had intended to teach her as much as I could. Even now she's still a stupid daughter that hasn't come to understand how wonderful Rudeus-sama is."
"Stupid is saying too much."
In the first place, I'm an exception.
Since I still have memories of my previous life.
I thought there might be a possibility of my little sister having them too, but as a test I tried talking a bit about the existence of televisions and cellphones, but she just fell into confusion.
My little sister is just simply a genius.
Paul's genes are unexpectedly amazing.
"Rudeus-sama, what do you think about Aisha?"
Suddenly, Lilia looked like she came up with an idea and asked that.
"Eh? Like I said, she's excellent."
"Not like that, in appearance."
"I think she's cute."
"She's my daughter, when she grows up her breasts will most likely be big as well."
Oh, her chest will...
No-no. I don't have any interest in my little sister’s chest.
Or rather, what's this? What is she talking about?
"Rudeus-sama, if you're going to continue on your journey to Asura, please take Aisha along with you. I have no choice but to return to danna-sama, but would it be alright if I leave Aisha to you?"
"Do you mind if I can hear the reason?"
I asked in return on reflex.
"Rudeus-sama, I've always been teaching Aisha on a normal basis in order for her to serve Rudeus-sama in the future."
"That seems to be the case."
"I've taught my daughter every single thing that I know. She's still young now, but in another four years she'll surely have a good attractive body."
Attractive to men.
"Please wait just a moment. She's my little sister?"
"I know of Rudeus-sama's fondness for women."
Do you know of it, I see.
Though you know.
It seems that I'm different from my previous life, it seems like I'm not really interested in desire towards those linked to me with blood.
That's why, even if you say, "Aisha has grown up, now eat up", it will just trouble me.
Though, well, that sort of reason is just one of my real intentions.
There is one more intention.
"That child is still six years old, right? It's an age where she should remain with her parents."
"...If Rudeus-sama says so."
Lilia was disappointed.
I don't think I've said anything incorrect.
Aisha is still young. Isn't it better for her to remain together with her parents?
It's limited to my feelings as a Japanese, but it's desirable to be together with both the father and mother during the time they're small.
I do think that it's fine if it's either, but if it's neither then that's clearly no good.
"I understand. Certainly, Aisha is still a bit inexperienced. I can't very well let someone inexperienced serve by the side of Rudeus-sama."
"Umm, please don't teach her anything too weird? Umm, something about a pervert or other."
"I've only ever conveyed to her that Rudeus-sama is a wonderful person."
"Thanks to that, it seems she's being a bit rebellious though..."
"I guess that is true. Well, that's just for now."
Lilia abruptly made a small laugh with her breath and raised her face.
It was a bright face.
I can't take Aisha.
However, I've already received something important from Lilia.
One of those is hanging around my neck with a leather string attached, and the other one is preciously stored in a box.
I will never let go of them again.
"This pendant (and panties), thank you very much."
"No, since I had heard that it was something precious to Rudeus-sama."
I could hear the parts she didn't let out with her mouth.
Lilia has really looked after me quite a bit.
"...Umm, after all does holding onto panties make me into a pervert I wonder?"
"Pervert? Is that what you heard from Aisha?"
Lilia suddenly stood up.
Woah woah, stop stop.
Please sit.
Lilia made a small sigh.
"Since that child was allowed to move around relatively freely, someone may have taught her something weird I guess."
It's something strange, yeah.
That's right, it is something strange.
"If she considers you a pervert for something like panties, I can't imagine what would happen if she was employed in the Asura Royal Palace..."
"The Asura Royal Palace? Come to think of it, you used to work in the inner palace[1] didn't you."
"Yes. If I were to compare it to that place, danna-sama and Rudeus-sama wouldn't even qualify to enter as a pervert."
"I-is that so.."
