Hearing that from Elinalise behind me, I grabbed the doorknob.
Pushing it aside, the door opens.
Be more careful!
I walked in as I thought so and stare right at the person behind it.
"B-brother!?"
"Aisha... is everything fine?"
"What's fine?"
Aisha stared dumbfounded from me to the Elinalise besides me.
Then, also to behind me.
I looked back, Roxy was panting there.
Anyways, I grabbed onto Aisha's shoulders.
Aisha seemed to have felt something odd on her right and stared in that direction. Her eyes widen.
In shock she stares between my hand and face.
"Eh, what happened, brother, your hand?"
"You're fine. Then Sylphy?"
"Eh? Eh... Em, Sylphy-sama, she's right here?"
Sylphy looks dumbfounded, standing right behind her.
Her tummy got bigger.
Ah, her breasts got bigger too.
If I remember correctly, it should be 7-8 months by now.
She'll start lactating soon.
No, either way is fine.
"Rudi... W-what's wrong?"
"Sylphy, it's fine? Did anything happen?"
"Eh? Em, everyone's doing well, because Aisha was trying hard too."
Sylphy is okay.
Ah, it's obvious just looking at her.
"Then everyone else, Norn? Cliff and Zanoba and people, they're all alright?"
"Eh? Alright? Nothing at all happened?"
"Nobody is sick or injured?"
"Em, em, nothing particularly..."
Sylphy looks dumbstruck.
I'm completely lost at what I'm trying to say.
Ah, I see.
Me.
I finally get it, nothing at all happened.
"B-brother...?"
Coming back to my senses, Aisha's face suddenly looked higher.
She sure grew.
No, I collapsed.
"Right."
All my strength left me.
In the end, that regret, is Paul's death.
Also, that about my past parents.
I was overthinking it.
"Aa..."
Realizing this, I finally let out a breath.
"Thank goodness."
Right then, Sylphy slowly walks up to me, placing her hand on my shoulder.
I feel the warmth from her hand slowly spreading from my shoulders.
Quickly she kneeled down, slowly spread her hand over my back.
I wrapped my arms around her back.
Thinking on one hand, that without my left I couldn't hug her tight, I hug her tightly with my other.
I can smell Sylphy's fragrance.
"Rudi... welcome home."
