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

Ahhhhh!

I can't stand it anymore, this guy is infuriating!

It makes me angry just looking at it.

So without hesitation, I raised my arm, intending to slap him.

But before my slap landed.

He grabbed my wrist.

I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

That frail body was able to grab my wrist?

Unbelievable.

But anger quickly overwhelmed me, and I raised my leg to kick him away.

but.

I can't lift my leg.

By the time I noticed, the ground beneath my feet had turned into a mud pit, and my legs were already stuck in it.

"W-What's going on? What's going on...?"

I stared menacingly at the boy in front of me.

But he didn't even look at me, and turned to walk away.

His name is Rudeus, right?

"Hey, do you want to die?! Doing this to me!"

I yelled at him.

But he acted as if he hadn't seen me at all and just left.

What exactly happened to this person?

baffling.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Rudius's perspective.

I feel more apologetic than loving towards Alice.

If I could, I would try my best to make up for it and make her happy, even if it meant getting beaten up.

Anyway, I got beaten up quite a few times when I was in the Demon Continent.

got used to.

But that's not allowed.

At least not for Alice right now.

The current Alice is different from Loki and Hilfi; she is a truly wicked young lady.

She needs to grow.

Just like how I left Sylphie so that she could grow up.

In order for Alice to grow, I must temper her character.

That is the so-called...

The pain that is necessary for growth.

After leaving the reception room, Philip smiled and asked me if I was going to give up.

Of course we won't give up.

Just like in my previous life, I revealed my plan.

They kidnapped Alice to teach her a lesson.

17. I'll make an exception and allow you to call me Alice.

I've been kidnapped.

Alice and I are currently in a small, dirty warehouse.

Eyes shone in through the window with iron bars. I was treated roughly during the transfer, and my body was in a lot of pain.

I used a healing spell without chanting to quietly heal my body.

Just like in my previous life.

After I proposed this kidnapping plan, the butler took it seriously and kidnapped both Alice and me.

It must be said that this plan, despite its meticulous planning, had a flaw.

If they choose to kidnap only Alice, given her abilities, she will definitely not be able to escape.

Unfortunately, they brought me along too.

Perhaps in the eyes of the kidnapper, I was just a magician who was only a little over seven years old and had a little talent.

Although he is very smart, he is still just a child.

It is a pity.

This idea is completely wrong.

They kidnapped a god-level mage.

I looked at Alice beside me.

Her hands were tied, and her once clean and tidy red dress and white stockings were now covered in dust.

She woke up a short while later.

She was so excited that she wanted to jump up, but found that her hands were tied behind her back, so she started making a scene.

"What the heck is this?!"

"Hey! Don't you know who I am? Let me go!"

It's so noisy.

Alice's loud voice is an imitation of Sauros.

Children are creatures who love to learn and imitate. Alice learned everything about Sauros’s loud scolding of Phyllis and the servants in the manor, and how no one dared to resist.

People often unknowingly become negative examples.

"Shut up, you brat!"

The kidnapper makes a dazzling appearance.

He reeked of alcohol, kicked open the door, his face unshaven, and his eyes fierce.

"I'm so annoyed, stay away from me! You stink! Do you know who I am? Gilead will be back soon and chop you in half!"

Then Alice was kicked away.

It slammed into the wall with a painful scream that made your teeth ache, mid-air.

My heart skipped a beat.

"Damn it, what are you so arrogant about? I know your grandfathers were lords!"

The kidnapper, carrying a bottle of liquor, walked up to Alice, grabbed her, and punched her hard in the face.

"It hurts, it hurts so much, no, please, no..."

Alice let out a pleading sound.

Even the most terrifying beasts can let out a pitiful howl that softens the heart.

Unfortunately, these cries of pain were of no use to the kidnappers.

My heart sank to the bottom.

What appears before my eyes is Alice, whom I once tortured severely.

I did countless terrible things to Alice, who never abandoned me.

Although she often beats me up too.

But compared to what I did for her, it's nothing.

In the empty, secluded room, I relentlessly humiliated, beat, and tortured Alice, in a cruel and perverse manner.

At that time, I had gone mad because of the gods and men.

They presumptuously believed that Alice was an apostle of the gods.

Fortunately, Alice managed to escape, preventing me from killing her with my own hands.

but now.

Alice cannot escape.

……

After being severely beaten.

The kidnapper spat in her face and left.

They also kicked me in the face.

I ignored the pain in my body and focused my gaze on Alice.

Her clothes were torn, exposing her well-maintained fair skin to the air, and she had bruises all over her body.

Don't you feel sorry for Alice when you see her being treated like this?

Hahaha……

How can I not feel sad?
