Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

But at this moment.

Rudius also noticed my actions.

"Om-"

I don't know what Rudius did.

The magic power gathered in his palm was instantly dispelled, and the magic could not take shape.

I panicked for a moment.

"Fuck-"

Rudius tore my clothes.

The cold air stimulated my skin, and my mind instantly cleared.

I slowly came to my senses.

Yeah……

So that’s it.

This is exactly what I've been feeling uneasy about all along.

In an instant.

I understand my mission.

The reason I insisted on following Rudeus to the continent of Becarit was for this moment.

then.

I stopped resisting and relaxed my body.

"Please, please enjoy, Rudy..."

I said, my voice trembling.

next moment.

Rudius lunged forward.

Rudyus's perspective

……

I had a dream.

I dreamt that the dead Silphi came back to life.

At first, I thought that Zanaba had made another doll in the shape of Sylphie to tease me.

But upon closer inspection, it was discovered that she was indeed Silphie.

Is it a dream?

It may be a dream.

At least……

In my dream, we were able to meet again.

……

then.

When I came to my senses.

Hilfi was sobbing beneath me.

The area where I was joined with Hilfi became red and swollen, as if it had undergone unimaginable torment.

Her delicate, fair body was covered in bruises.

Her red eyes were filled with tears, and traces of tears still lingered on her face.

"Ah?"

My movements gradually slowed down.

what happened?

Why……

Did I do anything wrong to Sylphie?

"Rudy...it's...it's okay...I can still endure it..."

"Hilfi said, trembling."

Upon hearing Silphie's voice, I completely stopped what I was doing.

memory.

It gradually welled up in my heart.

……

I was attacked by a succubus.

Although Hilfi noticed my condition, she narrowly killed the succubus.

But I immediately turned around and attacked Sylphie.

Hilfi attempted to resist.

But if I get serious, even Sylphie won't be able to resist.

However, Hilfi didn't seem to be refusing.

then.

I did it with Hilfi.

……

……

No.

wrong!

That's a very cunning way of putting it!

It was clearly me who forced Sylphie!

Because Sylphie is crying!

Realizing this, I immediately left Silphie's body and, disregarding everything else, immediately cast a King-level healing spell on her body.

I can cast superior-level healing magic without chanting, but king-level healing magic requires chanting to use.

I usually avoid using it unless absolutely necessary because I find it troublesome.

But now I'm desperately trying to undo my mistakes and erase the marks I left on Sylphie.

Damn!

Rudius, you idiot!

Succubi are the Grellat family's natural enemy, have you even forgotten that?

"God, divine power transformed into fragrant food, for... no..."

"The fragrant food of divine power..."

Because I was so nervous, I even mispronounced the incantation.

By the time I finally managed to cast the King-level healing magic, Sylphie was already asleep.

She fell asleep, utterly exhausted.

"Why...why can't that thing regenerate..."

I stared angrily at my hands.

The magic worked.

The wounds on Hilfi's body disappeared.

But the symbol of Silphi's purity could not be restored.

I don't understand the principle.

After all, one must understand the principles to use healing magic without chanting, and the healing magic I can understand is only up to the advanced level at most.

But in reality, even if it could be restored, it wouldn't make a difference.

I did something terrible to Sylphie.

Even if I could erase the traces.

That won't change the fact.

My heart sank to the bottom.

What followed was a deep-seated regret.

"Silphie, I...I...Waaaaah...I really...really...Waaaaah..."

I held Silphie's soft and delicate body in my arms.

He burst into tears in this vast, cold desert.

Since being reborn.

This is the first time I've felt such regret.
