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

That's just how I am.

Holding Hilfi, they sat in the desert until dawn.

After the sun rises.

Hilfi slowly opened her eyes.

Our eyes met.

"Rudy... are you alright now?"

"Sylphie said gently."

“I…Sylphie…I…”

My emotions, which had calmed down somewhat, were stirred up again.

The tears could not stop flowing.

"I'm so sorry, Sylphie, I did such a terrible thing to you..."

"Rudy, you don't need to worry about it..."

"How could I not care? I ruined the most important moment of your life!"

Every woman has this important moment that happens only once in her life.

I want Silphie to be happy.

but now.

I destroyed this happiness with my own hands.

"Rudy, I'm very happy!"

"Hilfi is lying in my arms, stroking my cheek as she speaks," said Hilfi.

"Don't lie to me."

Don't lie to me.

It's impossible to be happy like that.

I treated Sylphie roughly.

It left countless scars on her body, turning what should have been a happy memory into one of pain.

I am no longer worthy of bringing happiness to Sylphie.

"Are I telling the truth?"

"Even if you say so..."

"Because the happiness I want is to be able to help Rudy."

"That's what Hilfi said."

then.

She gently hugged me.

"Sylphy..."

"Rudy, you really don't need to care."

"Hilfi whispered in my ear."

"Because right now, I am the happiest person in the world."

I am speechless.

The only thing I could do was hug Sylphie just as tightly.

……

……

That being said.

Life must go on.

The harsh environment of the desert does not allow us to stop.

After the sun has fully risen.

Hilfi and I packed our luggage and got dressed.

Then, I embarked on my journey once again.

115. Today's Holy Land of Swords...

Holy Land of Swords.

Located in the northernmost part of the central continent.

The history of this land is filled with battles.

Although it is currently the headquarters of the Sword God School, it has also experienced a period when the Water God School was in power.

Just a hundred years ago.

In a certain era, the water god and the sword god fought and seized this land.

The water god was later defeated by another sword god, and the sacred land returned to the hands of the sword god school. Since then, this place has become the residence of the strongest swordsmen of the era, where they teach their school of swordsmanship.

They can receive swordsmanship instruction from the strongest swordsman, and even have the chance, if they are lucky, to defeat the strongest swordsman and take his place.

For swordsmen with such ambitions, this is a place of longing.

It's a place you should visit at least once.

Today, a rare guest has visited this place.

And there were two of them.

One of them was an elderly woman over sixty years old.

She had a shorter sword hanging at her waist.

One of them was a young woman who was around twenty years old.

He was dressed in travel clothes and had a sword hanging at his waist.

The two look somewhat alike.

They are:

[Water Goddess] Lydia.

[Water King] Izuru Tei Kel'er.

"Master, is this the Holy Land of Swords?"

"Izoruti asked curiously."

“That’s right, this is the beast’s den that you’ve been saying you wanted to come to.”

"That's what Leda said casually."

"I'm a little nervous."

"You just need to have faith in your swordsmanship. As long as you don't fight the Sword God, you should be more than capable of handling it."

"Yes, Master."

The two talked as they ventured deeper into the Holy Land of Swords.

Although this place is known as the Holy Land of Swords, it looks like an ordinary town at first glance.

There are inns, weapon shops, and adventurers' guilds.

You can see adventurers and merchants along the way.

Everyone was busy running around.

If I had to say what's special about it...

That is, almost all the residents are swordsmen of the Sword God School.

"Should we find accommodation first?"

"Izoruti asked."

"There's no need. Staying with young man Gar is fine."

"It's clearly very cold here, but people are dressed quite lightly."

It was Izoruti's first time visiting the Holy Land of Swords, and everything felt new and exciting.

"The Sword God School must act swiftly, otherwise they are nothing more than useless puppets. So even if it's very cold, they won't wear heavy clothing."

Leda explained casually.

"It's quite interesting that we wear a lot of clothes even when it's hot, unlike us who do."

"Not interesting at all."

After passing through a certain area.

The dojo, the residence, and the young people in dojo robes all suddenly disappeared.

Covered with snow.

Only one road, covered in snow, stretched forward.

At the end of the road was a huge dojo located inside the wall.

That is the training ground of the Holy Land of Swords.

……

As the two arrived at the entrance to the grand arena, a woman came out.

She was a girl with her long hair tied back and a resolute expression.
