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

Klap.

In my past life, I saw what he looked like when he grew up.

Although he wasn't exactly handsome, he was an excellent and well-mannered young man.

I wonder if Lucy will be there this time...

Humph.

If that day ever comes, I won't easily hand Lucy over to him.

"May the holy Milis bless you..."

Cliff held the child devoutly, seemingly lost in thought.

Anyway.

It's good that the baby was born safely.

"Senior Cliff."

"What's wrong, Rudeus?"

"From today onwards, you are a father."

As I said this, I patted Cliff on the shoulder.

"Yes. Yeah... I didn't expect this day to come so soon..."

"Actually, it's not that early anymore."

"It's a bit early for me."

Cliff's expression was complicated.

Before coming to Lanoa Magic University, he never imagined that he would get married and have children here.

When I first arrived.

He was simply sent here by his grandfather to stay away from the power struggles.

Moved by seeing Zanaba striving for his dream, he decided to work hard to accumulate strength.

But fate is always so strange.

No one expected this.

Cliff will fall in love with Alina Lizzie at first sight.

faith.

figure.

character.

Lifestyle habits.

life.

Almost everything between the two of them was completely incompatible.

No matter which angle you look at it.

These two people are unlikely to end up together.

But that's what fate is all about.

A single, unintentional glance sealed their fate.

It brought together two people who should have been completely unrelated.

"Rudeus."

Cliff, holding the child, suddenly spoke.

"I want to ask you something."

"What's wrong, Senior Cliff? Why are you so serious all of a sudden?"

"If my grandfather calls me back someday, could you please take care of Alina Lige and Klep for me?"

"...Senior Cliff, aren't you planning to take them back?"

"Um……"

Hearing me ask that question.

Cliff nodded heavily.

“I didn’t think that much about it before… but how should I put it, the Knights Templar are quite xenophobic towards all non-human races, and the Long-Eared Tribe is no exception. If people find out that I am married to Alina Lige, it will definitely cause a lot of controversy.”

"I don't think Senior Cliff will care."

“Well, of course I don’t care, and Alina Lige probably doesn’t care either. But Klep… I hope he can grow up in a comfortable environment.”

Cliff said this.

Her gaze fell upon Alina Lige, who was resting on the bed.

"Rudius, don't you feel... sometimes, life is a cycle?"

"Reincarnation?"

Yes. The people and things you've encountered will eventually come back to you.

A slight smile appeared on Cliff's face.

“My grandfather was deeply involved in the power struggle, and he sent me here to seek refuge in order to get me out of that atmosphere.”

"And now, in order for Clap to thrive, I want them to stay here."

"How amazing..."

Cliff said this.

She turned her head to look at me.

"So, Rudius, what's your answer?"

"Yes. If that day comes, leave it to me with confidence, Senior Cliff."

"it is good."

Cliff and I exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

Between men.

There's no need for many words.

……

Speaking of Alina Lige.

One year ago.

When we returned from the book maze.

Alsterd once told me that Alina Lige was Rostina.

The girl mentioned in the book "About Rostina".

During her slumber, her body was subjected to some kind of secret magic.

To keep her biological age constant.

That being said.

According to Alsterd.

After escaping the maze, Alina Lige's body began to grow even further.

In other words, that secret technique is not permanent...

A secret technique that can grant immortality...

It would probably require some kind of equipment to do that.

That being said.

There are also plans to directly study Alina Lige's body.

But I never thought of it that way.

Alina Lizzie is Cliff's wife, and Cliff probably wouldn't agree to me doing this.

In reality, I didn't want to do that either.

It comes down to it.

Immortality magic is not necessary for me.

My previous research into immortality magic was simply because I wanted to live long enough to defeat gods and men.

But here we are.

There's no longer any need to use the magic of immortality.

If one is destined to defeat both gods and men in their lifetime, then the significance of immortality magic becomes negligible.

Let's talk about it when the right opportunity arises.

……

After the child is born.

Cliff became quite busy.

I heard she even took a parenting course, which is really dedicated.

As a result, Alina Lige always had a helpless expression on her face.

"You could have just left it to me..."

Alina Lige said this.

but.

Seeing Cliff running around for the children, Alina Lizzie was quite happy.
