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

The moment the light touched the ground, it began to expand at an astonishing speed, transforming into a torrent of light that engulfed everything and simultaneously approached this place.

Kyrie I was swallowed by the light.

I didn't even have a chance to shout it out.

Rudy and I were also swallowed by the light.

Then, I lost consciousness.

……

When I opened my eyes again.

What appeared before my eyes was a nightmare.

My mother once told me that the Spelud were a terrifying race that indiscriminately killed innocent people and acted with impunity, essentially existing like demons.

The red gem on the forehead can destroy a person's soul.

They even eat children.

"Aa ...

I screamed in terror.

I staggered and tried to run away, but for some reason my legs went weak and I couldn't stand up.

No more.

There is no hope.

I will... be... eaten by him...

The thought of this fills me with endless regret.

I regret not giving myself completely to Rudy last night.

what……

think carefully.

What Rudy did last night was probably what he wanted to do, right?

They probably noticed the hesitation in my eyes, which is why they used a more palatable way of telling me to go back.

I think there will be plenty of opportunities like this in the future.

And we also made a promise that evening that I would give myself to Rudy as a gift on his fifteenth birthday.

This beautiful promise gives me hope for the future.

Thinking.

Maybe it's not so bad for things to continue like this...

But now it's all over.

I curled up on the ground and burst into tears.

"No! I hate it! It's so scary! So scary... Quick, quick, come save me, Kyrie Irwin! Kyrie Irwin! Kyrie Irwin! Why aren't you here yet! I don't want to die, I don't want to die! Rude, Rudeus! I'm sorry! I'm sorry I can't give myself to you! Waaah... Waaah..."

But at this moment.

The familiar warmth held my hand.

"Alice, I'm here."

"Rudi, Ruru Ruru...!"

"I'm here, don't be afraid."

I looked in the direction of the gentle voice and saw Rudy's smiling face.

His familiar smile remained unchanged.

but……

Why did his hair turn white?

"Is it really you? Are you beside me? I'm not dreaming, are you really here?!"

I gripped Rudy's hand tightly, not realizing how much force I was using.

"Ah, I'm here."

Rudy half-squatted beside me, gently stroking my head while holding me in his arms.

So warm.

My mood gradually calmed down.

Then I noticed it.

Rudy's body became very, very light.

His cheeks were also sunken.

His hair was a dry, straw-like white, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken.

Just like...

It was as if he was about to die.

"Rudy..."

My voice trembled, and I unconsciously tightened my grip on Rudy's hand.

"Well……"

Rudy's lips twitched.

"Ah! I'm so sorry, Rudy, I... I just..."

I let go of her hand in surprise.

then.

Rudy's thin, bony arms were covered in bruises.

no doubt.

That was my masterpiece.

"I...I'm sorry, I...I just..."

My voice trembled, and I spoke incoherently.

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

Rudy said softly.

"I have good news for you: we are all still alive and well."

"Ah, um..."

Do not know why.

My heart was overwhelmed by immense sorrow.

Even the Spelud tribe members standing nearby forgot about it.

She hugged Rudy and started crying.

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.

Rudy's perspective.

It took quite a while to comfort Alice.

And, thanks to Alice.

My already weak body is now even weaker.

Yale yale...

I clearly remember that it wasn't this troublesome in my previous life.

So it was because of some small changes I made that Alice changed as well?

It is my responsibility.

……

all in all.

After that, I introduced Alice and Rigd to each other.

Although Alice was that afraid of Rigdl, she was willing to trust me.

Since you trust me, you will naturally trust the Raji Rudd that I believe in.

not to mention.

Rachel Rudd was a guy who liked children.

The two quickly became close.

Alice even apologized to Rachel Rudd for her initial rudeness.

I saw the unprepared look on Rachel Rudd's face.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What a wonderful sight!

30. Father-in-law

We camped at the same spot that night.

Although I wanted to visit my parents-in-law as soon as possible, my body simply couldn't handle the hassle.

The bruises on your arms can be healed with healing magic.

However, given my current condition, using healing magic would probably be more painful than not using it, so I'll just have to bear with it.
