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

So I followed the road into the courtyard.

Upon entering the courtyard, a beautiful scene comes into view.

The grass, illuminated by the bright moon, shimmered faintly.

Flowers that are inconspicuous during the day shine brightly under the moonlight.

This courtyard was maintained by Shirvalier.

When I was making magical armor in the aerial fortress, I would sometimes come up here for some fresh air.

Every time this happens.

Shirvall couldn't help but show off.

Talk about it.

She was not Percius's familiar, but a Celestial Girl whom he had saved during the war.

No wonder he enjoys tending to his garden...

Just as I was thinking that...

Ariel appeared in the courtyard.

"Hmm? Mr. Rudius, what brings you here so late? Is there something urgent?"

Ariel rested her chin on her hand, looking utterly bored.

He looked extremely dejected.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's really rare.

This listless Ariel.

"I'm here to see Lady Ariel."

"Oh? Looking for me?"

As Ariel said this, she propped herself up slightly.

Then sighed.

"I'm so sorry..."

She actually apologized to me first.

This is truly unexpected.

"Why is Lady Ariel apologizing to me?"

"Because... even though Mr. Rudeus introduced me to Lord Ankylosaurus, I didn't achieve anything at all, and just wasted a month like that."

Ariel gave a bitter smile.

"After all, it is indeed a bit too much to ask of an Ankylosaurus."

"No, actually I'm wondering if I'm not suited to be king."

Ariel looked at the distant sky and said.

"...In the end, I only set my sights on becoming queen because I was too ashamed to face everyone."

"Sometimes I wonder if I'm just not suited to be a queen, to talk vulgarly with Luke like before, and to marry a nobleman one day because of political reasons. Is that the life that suits me?"

"I thought so……"

“But Luke would rather betray his own family than not follow me, and so many people have died because of me. So I can’t give up on him easily.”

Ariel said to herself.

She has not given up on her plan to persuade Percius.

But, as she said...

She could not find the answer to Percius's question.

Think about it now.

Perhaps this is what Ariel was like in her past life.

She was in a state of confusion and did not receive any assistance from Percius.

Even so, they went to the Kingdom of Asura without hesitation.

Then, he died due to the betrayal of the Nautos family...

It also implicated Sylphie.

I can't let this happen again.

Well then, let's proceed according to Alsterd's plan.

"Just now, Lady Ariel said that she wanted to become king because she carried the expectations of her companions. Is that what you mean?"

"Yes."

"So, Lady Ariel remembers those people very clearly?"

"Of course, Mr. Rudius, would you like to hear it?"

"If you don't mind."

"Of course I don't mind, I'm just worried that Sylphie will be angry, after all, it's late at night and a man and a woman are alone together..."

"..."

Ariel smiled gently.

This guy.

You're still in the mood for jokes at a time like this?

Then, Ariel recounted her past experiences.

Thirteen people sacrificed their lives for her.

Aristia, Karam, Dominic, Sedolic, Cove, John, Babbitt, Victor, Maruslan, Bernardido, Adovina, Frans, Collinu...

We went through hardships together, fought together, and overcame difficulties together.

"what……"

Halfway through.

Ariel suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, right, there's one more person—Diric Bartlett, he's my guardian mage..."

At this point, Ariel suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Lady Ariel?"

I asked.

"No, I just suddenly realized that I don't know anything about Dirich..."

As Ariel spoke, a look of reminiscence crossed her face.

"Then why don't you try to get to know him?"

"But he is already dead."

Even the dead leave other traces in the world.

"For example?"

"journal."

In my past life, I also had the habit of keeping a diary.

However, I have no plans to do so in this life, perhaps because I don't want to waste time reminiscing about the past.

Who would write a diary if they were serious?

However, according to Alsterd.

Dirich once kept a diary.

If you take Ariel to that diary, Ariel will naturally find her answer in it.

There is a place called the Book Maze.

I said.

It was a labyrinth where all the books in the world were copied and stored.

There is a library containing all the books in the world.

It was copied down by the Demon King, who loved books, using the power of his demonic eye.

The location of that labyrinth is in the Heleis region of the Demon Continent.

If it were in that place...

Then you can find Dirich's diary.

"I see, so there are such amazing places in the world... Well then, let's go there and give it a try."

Ariel made up her mind.

It was as if there was no confusion at all.

……

The group heading to the transfer labyrinth included Alice, Kyrie Irwin, Sylphie, myself, and Luke.

Of course, Ariel, the most important of all, is also among them.

Kyrie Irvine has now become Ariel's bodyguard.

She had made a promise with Ariel.

He was willing to assist Ariel whenever he could, as long as it helped her get revenge.

That is now.
