Rudy in the back with his three wives in front of him. Roxy, Sylphy, and then Eris. Then beneath them, their children. Two from each wife.
For Roxy, a pair of daughters with matching colored blue hair that took a lot after her instead of Rudy.
For Sylphy, a son and daughter. Her son had green hair like Sylphy did in her youth paired with green eyes like Rudy. As for her daughter, she had Rudy's brown hair but Sylphy's red eyes.
For Eris, there was also a son and daughter pair. A cool looking son sitting in the front with crimson hair like Eris and green eyes like Rudy. A cute daughter with crimson hair and a wide happy smile.
Stella stared at the worn-out picture hanging on the wall and tilted her head. "So this is Onii-chan and everyone in the future, huh?"
With everyone going out to do their own thing, Stella had taken it upon herself to do some exploring around the house and see the differences. And out of curiosity, she went to check the room that should have been Onii-chan's in the house.
Surprisingly, it still was. But it was also really different.
Stella took another look around the room and frowned. "Was the Onii-chan here that different from Onii-chan?"
It seemed like the Rudeus here was the sentimental sort...
Well, considering the room was untouched despite him passing a long time ago, maybe it was Sylphy and Roxy that were the sentimental sort.
But in any case...
There was a room with a pillow made from treant materials. An eerily detailed figurine of mini Roxy that reminded Stella of those otaku figures back at home.
A desk with various books and some prop-up picture frames of the kids in that first picture Stella looked at.
Stella walked over to look at the picture frames and said, "Onii-chan here was really a Dad, wasn't he?"
It was just like a typical salaryman's room. Pictures of the kid, work documents, a few trinkets here and there...
Nothing like Onii-chan's room. This place seemed like it had definitely been lived in and gone through a lot over time.
But the room of Onii-chan back at home...
Stella felt that a lot of it had to do with the fact that Onii-chan had an inventory magic to keep stuff with him, but Onii-chan's room was really empty.
Like here, there was a desk and some books. But a majority of the room was taken up by a really big and comfy bed with a lot of pillows and super fluffy blankets.
There was also a wall-length mirror and a big closet. But there weren't any pictures or anything like here.
Stella stared at a picture of Sylphy's daughter in a wedding dress standing next to a young man who looked a lot like Cliff before shaking her head.
"Maybe I should get Onii-chan to take more pictures..."
She had heard that a lot of bad things happened to their family here too. And although Onii-chan made a pendant with a fake picture of them all together, a real family picture would be nice.
Onii-chan with Eri nee-chan, Sylphy nee-chan, Roxy nee-chan. Roland, Eos, and Ena. Rika nee-chan too since she and Onii-chan definitely had a thing even if they were trying to be professional about it.
Norn nee-chan and Aisha nee-chan. Mom, Mama Lily, and that weirdo that was Dad.
And her too.
Everyone was back together now... At least, as soon as they headed back home. So it would be good to get a proper picture done...
Especially before Onii-chan and his ero wives started getting kids.
After all, that picture of the other Onii-chan's family was already super cramped, so Onii-chan's family picture was definitely going to be-
"Wait."
Stella paused and then went back to the picture, carefully taking a look at it. And then she went to the pictures on the table and looked through those as well. But...
"...Where am I in the pictures?"
She understood why Dad wasn't in the pictures since he apparently died in this world earlier on, but...
"Didn't Lara call me Auntie Stella?" She mumbled to herself and then frowned.
Mom and Mama Lily had been cagey about it too. And it was weird how the other Sylphy and Roxy had reacted to her when she showed up...
"...Meh." Stella shrugged. "Onii-chan will explain it."
Probably just some weird time travel things.
And speaking of time travel things...
Stella started rummaging through the books again and muttered, "If this Onii-chan is like Onii-chan, he probably has a journal too, right?"
Onii-chan had mentioned starting one for his future kids and stuff, so if this Onii-chan was anything close to the same...
"Not here." Stella sighed. "Of course. Onii-chan always puts it somewhere safe, so this Onii-chan would too... Wait." She paused and took a look around the room.
Onii-chan was a cheat and had a secret compartment with him all the time. But since this Onii-chan was more normal, he probably would have kept it at home instead. Somewhere secret and safe. So...
Stella narrowed her eyes, carefully scanning the room. At the same time, she said, "Can you tell me if there's any secret room here, Wyn?"
