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

On the ground, there was an object made of rotten wooden planks stuck in the ground.

Although we tried our best to make it carefully, there were limitations in the materials available.

In addition, it has been exposed to wind and rain.

It has become very rudimentary.

Calling it a grave is a bit of a stretch.

That being said.

Alice recognized it the moment she saw it from afar.

"It's there!"

Alice said this, and then walked toward that place.

Aisha and I followed closely behind, and together we approached the place.

……

On a broken wooden board, the word "Erda" was written.

The preceding and following text are not visible.

The handwriting has a very aristocratic style.

"It's my father's handwriting..."

Alice murmured to herself.

She recognized it as Philip's writing.

She said this.

He slowly crouched down and approached the grave.

"Mother, this is where you died."

"Ah."

Philip and Hilda were transferred to the country where they originally lived.

The Asura nobles who appeared in the conflict zone.

Why did you come?

How did it come about?

Unable to answer any questions, he was suspected of being a spy.

……

then.

maybe.

If I provide more information, the two of them can survive.

After all, Philip was a man of many words.

He was wicked, quick-witted, and far from clumsy in his political maneuvering.

Once we have the relevant intelligence, we will definitely be able to take appropriate action.

however.

For the correct course of history.

I had to conceal all the information.

They did tell Gilead the location, but ultimately...

They still couldn't save Hilda.

Obviously.

Compared to Philip.

Both Alice and I would prefer Hilda to live.

But it is what it is.

Philip was the one who survived.

From this perspective...

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I killed Hilda.

“My father... watched my mother die right before his eyes.”

What was your father thinking at the time?

"..."

Philip must have tried to save Hilda as well.

It ultimately ended in failure.

Gilead arrived here after Hilda's death.

At that moment, he must have felt extremely regretful, right?

however……

After Alice returned home.

He chose to use Alice as a tool for a political marriage.

If it were me, I definitely couldn't do it.

After all, who wouldn't want to spend more time with their wife's last child...?

Ah, no.

I don't think I did that.

In her previous life, after Hilfi died.

I didn't stay with Lucy either.

"..."

Thinking this way, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Yes.

Even though they say those things.

But I wasn't a good father in my past life either.

Philip...

He was a typical aristocrat.

His actions were not inappropriate by aristocratic standards.

Therefore.

I hate that Philip guy.

……

Alice kept looking in the direction of the grave.

I stood behind her, watching her back.

"Hey, Rudeus."

"I'm here."

"Father said that Mother has always been proud of me. Is that really true?"

"I think so."

Alice is Hilda's only remaining daughter.

but.

While Hilda was still alive.

Alice, however, was a good-for-nothing daughter.

Although Alice is now quite mature, Hilda did not witness any of this while she was alive.

"If my mother could see me now, she would be proud, wouldn't she?"

"That's bound to happen."

"Yeah, that's good."

"Sister Alice is also the pillar of the family."

Aisha also chimed in from the side.

"..."

……

The silence lasted for quite a while.

Alice remained silently watching the grave.

I, on the other hand, was watching Alice.

think carefully.

Alice rushed here without stopping.

Return from the Demon Continent to the territory of Fituia.

She was married off to the Notos family by Philip.

After being rescued on the way, he voluntarily relinquished the name Boreas.

The death of a noblewoman.

The birth of the red-haired swordsman.
