I do not own Mushoku Tensei

Aisha's Perspective:

Finally… Finally, Onii-chan is mine. Well, not fully mine but, he and I are husband and wife. At first, I suggested being just a mistress. That way, Onii-chan can just use me for any of his desires until his other wives are able to fulfill his. But my mother said that it wouldn't make onii-chan happy because that would make him feel that I was his property and nothing else. He didn't see me as that, he saw me as something more.

I was a lot of things to him. I was his cuddle buddy. After the other two wives joined, and before we got married, I wasn't able to join him as often, but I was still someone to share the night with whenever he was feeling lonely. I was his betting partner. We would always play small games around the house: "Oni~chan I bet I can pick these weeds faster than you… Hah! You'll never guess what I'm hiding behind my back… 10 bronze says I can make you laugh in the next minute," and sometimes I would win, or I would lose. But it was always so much fun. He would spoil me after losing, and when he won I could help out my wonderful big brother as well. I was his loyal servant always at his side ready to lend him my strength, or keep the house in order from the sidelines. I was his mischievous little sister who always had a fun time teasing him in the bath, or around the house, but despite it all I always showed him love, and support. But now… finally!.. I was also his lover. Someone he could kiss, and hug. Someone who could please his body, or heal his heart whenever there's something troubling him. For each other, we were an ear who could understand, and a voice who could reassure.

I couldn't have been more happy. But of course, there were others who were unsure about this relationship. Let's start with my mother, who actually supported it secretly. After the family meeting was over, she called me to her room and gave me a warm embrace. As she did that and whispered in my ear saying, "well done, now you can be happy." I cried a little when she said that. I couldn't help but hug her back.

Now, onto the ones who were maybe unsure about me being onii-chan's fourth wife.

First is Eris-nee: she was hurt at first but soon got over it saying, "welp, it can't be helped. As long as you love Rudeus, then it's fine with me." Her saying that gave me a bit of relief. But during my time with onii-chan, she gets jealous of how he spoils me a lot. I heard her saying how she wished onii-chan would spoil her like he does to me.

Next is Roxy-nee: with her, she was confused or conflicted. Or maybe it was both. She understands that in human relationships, relatives get married to each other. For example, distant cousins. But she never heard of a brother and sister having that type of relationship. She wasn't against it but she didn't comprehend it either. Eventually, she accepted it. Saying, "well, she loves Rudi a lot. They are half siblings, so it should be fine… I think." I believe she still thinks about it, I see her secretly staring at me and onii-chan when we are together.

Finally, next is Sylph-nee: When we first sat down for the meeting, I couldn't get a read on her. She had a blank expression and smiled when she said it was alright for me to be onii-chan's wife. She even suggested giving me a month to spend time with him. Eris-nee protested but Sylph-nee convinced her otherwise. After the meeting, she treated me the same as always. But I noticed a bit of dry responses when onii-chan would talk to her but, other than that, it was the same. Which made me feel uneasy.

There were a few other key changes in the household. Number one: Before the children would call me Aisha-nee, but now, with the sudden shift in relationships, they weren't sure what to call me. I was like a big sister to them. Whenever the other wives were too busy to watch over them, we would play house, or go on safari through our imagination. We would pretend giant creatures hid under dark couch like caves, or we would become wizards who bended reality to our will. If anyone got hurt I would kiss the pain away, and console them about all their worries. Every place was a safe space when I was around. Whenever they got hungry there would be a snack waiting for them in the kitchen; Cute bunny apples, buttery pastries, fruity salads, and sweet crunchy candies. Sometimes there would be triangle sandwiches with veggie fillings coated with savory sauces, and touched up with slices of different meats. And when bedtime was drawing the day to a close, I had them covered up in silken blankets, and cushioned their heads with fluffy pillows. I would read them stories about great heroes who fought against city destroying demons, or use words to paint pictures of oakland woods with tricky pixies who enjoyed playing pranks on unaware travelers. I still performed the same tasks, but now there was this weird air in the room- like a certain truth that had yet to be acknowledged. Although everything was the same… things were different now. I wasn't just their caretaker, or big sister… I was also another one of their moms. I was no longer just Aisha-nee, I was Onii-chan's wife.

Thinking about the children made me wonder if I would be able to have one. It might be impossible, considering that me and onii-chan are half siblings. But I wonder what it would look like. If it was a boy, would he have onii-chan's face but my hair or if it was a girl, would she have my face and onii-chan's eyes and hair. I wish I could see it, but it won't happen. Not because onii-chan doesn't want to, but because it could be dangerous for the child. Well, the children right now are more than enough.

As I finished reading the last page, and kissed them all goodnight, some movement caught my eye. There was a bit of shuffling behind one of the covers. Ars was still awake. When I went over to him. He looked sad.

"What's wrong Ars? What's keeping you awake? Did the story scare you?"

"No… I liked the story... " he gave a glum smile.

"Oh? What is then? Are you hungry?"

"No, I'm full" He patted his belly.

"Are you sad about something?"

"Yes..."

"What are you sad about?"

"You, and papa. You're always with papa. You can't play with me anymore. You're always with papa." There was a small frown, and tears forming as he said this.

"Oh Ars… Don't worry. We can still play. Me, and papa are just closer now, but I still love you very much. We can't play all the time, but I'll always be there. I'll always be able to make time for you. Don't worry… You're still my little Ars."

And with that he fell asleep, and I slipped out of the room. I couldn't help but lean against the door and think about how I made Ars feel sad.

"I'll make it up to him", I thought.

With that said, I left to my room where onii-chan was currently sleeping. Maybe tomorrow, I can ask onii-chan if he wants to take the children to the park. We can have fun there, and I can spend time with Ars while making sure the kids are having fun as well. As I entered my room and hopped into bed, I was welcomed with a tight embrace. "Goodnight Aisha", he said, softly. I embraced him back, feeling the sleepiness within me.

"Goodnight Rudeus." My eyes slowly closed and I fell right to sleep.

Here is another, hope you enjoy. See ya.-JJ
