I'm sure y'all are probably wondering, why is this guy talking directly to us even though he's not some Isekai character. You're right. I'm not some Isekai'ed character and I have an entire backstory to prove it. As to why I know you guys are there? Well, let's just say that my sixth sense are always off the charts. I can hear your thoughts, read them and even talk directly to you. Be warned as you proceed further ahead into the story.
Alright, I've had my fun. Honestly speaking, I've no idea whether anyone is peeking in on my life's story. Ever since I was young, I always felt like I was being watched wherever I went so I ended up talking to myself most of the time. Call it my way of comforting myself in this cold harsh world that I was born in. There are people watching me right? Or am I just mad? Maybe I really am just talking to myself.
Right, where are my manners. Name's Zen Hawthorn, son of Jack Hawthorn and Jane Gladiolus. If you had followed me through my backstory, you would had known that I'm officially married now. My wife, Rose Starr, who was also my little sister, fell in love with me so I decided to marry her. Wait, I know what you're thinking, this is not some incest story, I swear! We aren't blood-related and I just happened to rescue her on that fateful night from a horrible caretaker that was treating her badly.
"Oh, you're bringing me in onto the story this early? What happened to hiding my identity as you did with the previous one?" asked Rose as she poked her head into my room.
"There's no way I can do that now. Everything is going to be in real time moving forward. Every step, breath, and adventure is going to be in real time," I explained to her.
"Uh huh, I'll just let you talk to yourself as you always do while I finish up some chores," said Rose as she walked away.
Right, where was I? Ah yes, I also happened to have a—
"Daddy!" shouted Daisy as she ran up to me.
"Right on cue. This here is our lovely daughter that's the result of my love with Rose. A precious little being that I willand must protect until my last dying breath," I placed her on my lap.
"You mean the result of you being horny all the time!" shouted Rose from another room.
"Hey! Daisy's right here!" I shouted back.
"Daddy, what's horny? Are you growing horns?" asked Daisy curiously.
"Uh— no. Daddy won't be growing horns anytime soon, sweetie. Don't you worry," I smiled awkwardly at her.
What else is there? Ah yes, my good brother, John Gladiolus, who could potentially be my real cousin for all I know. He had gotten married to his beautiful elven wife, Daffodil Vermouth and had a child of their own. Despite female elves being known for having difficulty in conceiving, John did a pretty good job in having one within ten years after their marriage. And their hybrid daughter is certainly out of this world in terms of cuteness.
"Are you saying you regret in marrying me?! I told you to choose Lily but you chose me instead!" shouted Rose from another room.
"I didn't say that! I have no regrets in choosing you and I still stand by my choice!" I shouted back.
Ahem, apologies on that. My wife had grown worse over the years after we had married. Now we are like some old couple that starts bickering every chance we get. How I wished I can turn back time to when we first started dating. Ah, those memories were sweet and lovely. Now she is just like some old crony that is constantly looking for an opportunity to snap at me every chance she gets.
"The hell you say about me?! Just you wait mister, you better hope I don't poison your meal later!" shouted Rose.
Yikes, I'm in trouble for sure. Speaking of which, I really wonder where Lily Moonshine went. She had only visited us once and she never informed us where she went after. Rose and I were so worried that we might not be able to see her again in our lifetime when she said her farewell to us about 15 years ago. Thankfully, she came over to visit Rose and me about five years ago. She had certainly gotten more beautiful over the years but to my surprise, she was still single despite so many years had passed. Is she not beautiful in the elven world or something? What are those male elves even looking at nowadays? Sigh.
"Are you done? You do realise you have to take Daisy to school, right?" asked Rose as she came over.
"Oh, is it time already? I was bored waiting for time to pass and just started rambling to myself," I said.
"Well, now is time for you to go. Go on, get. Before Daisy is late for school," Rose dragged me up and started pushing me.
"Alright alright, look forward to more of my story after this," I waved to an imaginary audience.
"Bai bai," waved Daisy as she adorably followed after me.
