“We’ve arrived. This is our home.”

After calming down Danawa and Freya who burst into tears, Aion returned home with them.

Aion said to them as they arrived home, handing them new clothes he had prepared in advance.

“First, wear this. I don’t know if it’ll fit, but it won’t be too hard to wear.”

Aion said this while handing them the clothes he had purchased before bringing them.

At Aion’s consideration, they looked back and forth between the clothes and Aion for a moment, then quickly accepted the clothes he gave them and went into a nearby room.

“……!”

Dana, the older sister, seemed worried that Aion might do something strange, so she sent Frey into the room first, then stuck her head out and made eye contact with Aion.

She slowly closed the open door, glaring at Aion until the moment the door was completely closed.

At the sight of Dana looking like a very wary kitten, Aion looked at the closed door and snickered.

After some time had passed, Danawa and Fre changed into the clothes Aion had given them and carefully opened the door and came out.

“……..”

They came out wearing the clothes that Aion had given them and looked around at the clothes they were wearing as if they were curious about seeing them for the first time.

Seeing their appearance, Aion approached them cautiously.

“There are more clothes left than I thought? Hmm…I guess I’ll have to buy new ones.”

Aion said, looking at their loose clothing.

At Aion’s words, Danawa and Fre instinctively grabbed the collar of the clothes they were wearing.

They looked at him with eyes that seemed to ask why he had given them away, and Aion smiled and spoke as carefully as he could in response to their actions.

“I won’t take it away. Don’t worry, I will never take it away.”

Aion smiled as he looked at them holding onto the collars of their clothes as if to prevent them from having their clothes stolen.

While an awkward silence flowed in the house.

“Gurrr….”

A thunderous sound from Frey’s boat echoed throughout the house.

“Ah…!”

Fred blushed and looked embarrassed when he suddenly heard a noise from his stomach.

Aion couldn’t hold back his laughter at the sight of Frey blushing in embarrassment at the sound coming from the boat.

“……..!!”

As Aion smiled at his younger brother, Fre, his older sister, Dana, intervened between Aion and Fre and reached out her hand to touch Fre.

Dana began to glare at Aion with a scary expression.

Dana dropped Aion and Frey and glared at him, probably thinking he was after her sister.

At Dana’s actions, Aion quickly changed his expression and spoke to them.

“You must be really hungry. Is there anything you want to eat?”

Aion, who had been staring at them intently, soon moved away and walked into the living room.

At Aion’s words, they hesitated a little and looked at him.

Dana, who had stood between them to protect Frey from Aion’s unexpected reaction, stared at him blankly as if she couldn’t believe the situation.

As Danawa and Frega stared at him without saying anything, Aion finally started cooking.

Aion looked at the ingredients he had put in the item box and thought for a moment.

Item box.

This was the only magical tool he had when he was possessed by the novel, and was useful for storing important items or perishable ingredients.

Since there was more space than he had thought, Aion had packed the meat and items from the monsters he had caught while traveling into his bag, so he was looking through the ingredients he had stored in his item box and looking for food to treat them to.

In fact, if only I had my way, I would have used all the ingredients I had and fed them a sumptuous feast.

Looking at their condition, it seemed like they hadn’t eaten proper food for several days, and if they were fed oily food right away, various bad things could happen, so Aion looked around at various ingredients and soon found one, and started cooking in earnest.

The dish he would make for them was a meal that they often ate when they were feeling weak or had no appetite.

‘First, grind crops similar to rice finely.’

Aion began to use magic to grind the rice-like grains in the item box into fine powder.

In the original world, this task would have been simple enough to be solved with a mixer, but in this world where there was no mixer, the only options were to grind the grains individually or use magic.

In the end, Aion used magic to grind it as fine as possible.

‘Next, add the finely ground rice and water and boil over medium heat.’

Of course, this part was also Aion who borrowed the power of magic.

He smiled, relieved at the dish being made better than expected. In fact, all he knew about the rice cake was the simple recipe, and to make matters worse, the grains and food here were slightly different, so Aion was worried that it might fail, but contrary to his worries, it was being made well.

As soon as the food began to boil, Aion lowered the heat of the magical fire and after a while he was able to cook the food after removing the impurities in the broth.

Aion, who had created the dish like that, said as he placed the food in front of them.

“If you eat this right now, it could be dangerous for you. So let’s eat this first.”

Aion spoke to them, giving them warm hugs.

They looked at Aion with slightly bewildered expressions.

They looked at Aion as if asking what kind of food this was.

Seeing them like that, Aion cooled down the freshly made hot tea with steam rising from it and brought it in front of Frey.

“Try it once.”

Aion spoke as he placed the freshly made drink in front of Freya’s face.

Dana, who was wary of Aion’s actions, glared at him as if she was about to rush at him at any moment.

“Sigh..!”

Pre, who was starving, ate the food that Aion gave her like a baby bird, and after a while.

“…………”

Hot tears began to flow from Frey’s eyes as he ate the food.

“P..Pre..! What did you do to my little brother!”

Dana was shocked when her younger brother, Frega, started crying while eating food and shouted at Aion.

Her younger brother, Fred, grabbed Dana’s shoulder and Dana looked at Fred’s actions.

Frey shook her head as if to say no and looked at her older sister, Dana.

She was looking at the food the man fed her.

Dana seemed momentarily bewildered by her younger brother’s incomprehensible behavior, but soon took the food the man had given her into her mouth.

Dana also ended up shedding tears along with her younger brother, Freya.

The food wasn’t terribly tasty. It wasn’t spicy and it wasn’t meaty at all, but for some reason, it brought tears to my eyes.

The man fed them sweets with a detailed look on his face, looking at them in such a way.

Aion smiled brightly and rejoiced inwardly as he ate the delicious food they had made themselves.

After eating their fill of food for a while, perhaps because their stomachs were full and the tension from the meal had eased, they soon fell into a deep sleep.

“I fell asleep.”

Aion said as he looked at Danawa and Frey, who were sleeping soundly like children.

Soon, Aion carefully lifted them up so as not to wake them and headed to an empty room that was not being used.

However, it was not an empty room that was being used, as there was a large bed that could comfortably fit two people, along with various furniture. This was a room just for them that Aion had prepared in preparation for the day they would come home.

Aion carefully placed them on the bed so as not to wake them from their deep sleep.

Perhaps because there were so many things going on today, they didn’t even wake up the moment they were put down on the bed.

He smiled as he looked at them.

Soon, I covered them with fluffy blankets, fearing they might get cold.

“Don’t be cold. Let’s cover ourselves with a blanket.”

Aion covered them with a warm blanket as they slept soundly and spoke.

After covering them with a blanket, Aion carefully and stealthily left the room, trying not to make any noise in case they woke up.

Aion carefully left the room after placing them on the bed.

“Good night.”

Soon he left, closing the door to the room they were in and bidding them good night.

After placing them on the bed, Aion carefully moved so as not to wake them and went out of the house.

Soon he looked up at the twinkling stars in the night sky and smiled.

With joy at having a new roommate, Aion looked up at the sky, anticipating what would happen next.
