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

But I can feel it.

He means it.

……

For the person you like.

For my pregnant lover.

I would even kneel down to someone I hate.

He was willing to give his life to make up for the mistakes he had made.

Do not know why.

Although I hate this guy.

However, I felt that I could see my own reflection in him.

Does that mean I'm the same kind of person as him?

No.

That shouldn't be the case.

But there is something in both of us.

That is enlightenment.

Yeah.

He and I share the same awareness.

but.

even so.

He and I will never be able to understand each other.

293. Go home

After leaving the Kingdom of Wanglong.

I did not travel with the delegation, but instead moved via Icarus and a teleportation magic circle.

Return to Sharia as quickly as possible.

Orstide has already returned to Sharia before I did.

I confirmed he was inside via pager and rushed over.

"Mr. Dragon God!"

I pushed the door open and went straight in.

"...What's wrong, Rudeus?"

Alster was sitting behind the table, legs crossed, reading a newspaper.

They were stunned when they saw me barge in.

"Mr. Dragon God, is there any way to get Benedict out of the palace?"

"...What are you talking about?"

"Well... oh well, let's start from the beginning."

I calmed my agitated mood a little.

Then I'll start the story from the beginning.

……

After understanding.

Alsterd lifted his chin.

"Hmm... It really turned out like this..."

"What do you mean?"

“It didn’t go this way in the last cycle.”

Orstead said.

According to him.

In the previous cycle, the king of the Dragon Kingdom also held a similar academic competition.

After his victory, Pakus made a request.

The request was also to marry Benedict.

However, the king at the time granted Pacus's request.

Quite a few things happened after that.

If we only talk about the results...

Pacus once became the king of the Kingdom of Shilon, but ultimately chose to commit suicide in order to quell the internal strife.

As for Benedict...

She and Parkus's child was born.

……

It was investigated later.

The king and ministers of the Kingdom of Wanglong are apostles of the gods.

In other words.

This result is the result of manipulation by both humans and gods.

But this time it's different.

Alsterd has conducted a thorough investigation.

It was determined that the king and ministers of the Wanglong Kingdom, and all those in power, were not apostles of gods or men.

While I was busy rushing on my way, Alsterd had already finished his work.

"If there were no divine intervention, this would have happened..."

Orstide pondered this.

"Pacus's wish was not fulfilled, nor was he returned to the Kingdom of Cylon, nor did he receive the help of Death... And Benedict was to be used as a tool for a political marriage to another country. That was the end."

"……Yeah."

"So, you want to save Benedict?"

"Yes."

"Even if you do that, Benedict will not fall for you."

"...Mr. Dragon God, I'm going to get angry if you say that, okay?"

"Feel sorry."

It seems they finally understood what I meant.

Alsterd fell into thought again.

It took a long time before he finally spoke.

"Then let's rescue Parkus as well."

"……is this necessary?"

I don't think Parkus needed to survive.

Although it was said to be to deceive the eyes of gods and men.

In principle, it doesn't matter if I die.

But Alster's current statements make it seem as if he absolutely must be kept alive.

"First, we want to use this method to deceive God and make Him think that Pakus is very important to us."

"Secondly, if there is no interference from humans or gods, this plan should be able to proceed smoothly. Conversely, if the plan fails, we can also find the whereabouts of the apostles of humans and gods."

"Third, Parkus's children and Zieg are very good friends."

Huh?

Is there such a saying?

I've never heard of it before...

"Leave this to me. I'll go and discuss the details with Ariel."

"I'm standing up," said Alsterd.

"Yeah……"

"Don't worry, this will be resolved in at most two weeks."

……

After this decision was made.

Orstide traveled to the Kingdom of Asura and began his operations.

The goal is to use political means to allow Pakus to return to the Kingdom of Xilong openly and legitimately.

If he does this, Parkus will be qualified to marry Benedict openly and legitimately.

Benedict's unborn child was also successfully saved.

If Pakus can return to the Kingdom of Cylon, he will become king under the influence of fate.

If neither gods nor humans interfere, the plan will proceed smoothly.
