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

some type of.

at this time.

There was a knock on the door downstairs.

……

When I walked from the second floor to the living room, I found the atmosphere there to be a bit strange.

The air seemed to freeze.

The sounds of clashing swords and spears could be faintly heard.

what happened.

Could it be that the enemy has come knocking on our door?

As I was thinking this, I saw the red-haired swordsman confronting a man and a woman.

The red-haired swordsman is naturally my wife, Alice.

Standing in front of Alice was a somewhat thin-looking boy.

A woman with a high ponytail, reminiscent of a kendo practitioner, stood beside the boy.

That boy looked very familiar to me.

what.

He is the contemporary sword god, Kino.

So that is to say.

The woman with the ponytail following behind Kino is Kino's wife...

Nina Farion?

……

The two sides faced off in silence.

Precisely.

Alice is confronting Nina, while Kino is just standing there.

Alice crossed her arms and spread her legs, staring at Nina with a menacing look.

Nina stood there calmly, her hand on her waist.

It was very close to the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Judging by that posture.

It seems they're planning to start a fight at the slightest provocation.

"Long time no see, Nina!"

Alice spoke first.

"Alice, you've changed a lot."

Nina also spoke up.

It sounded like an ordinary conversation.

But how to say it.

It gives one the feeling of calm before a storm.

Sensing something was wrong, I immediately came down the stairs.

"Hey, you're here?"

This is nothing.

This opening was absolutely terrible.

When I thought so.

Kino looked at me and then bent down slightly.

"Mr. Rudius."

"what?"

"I have come to protect your family on the orders of the Dragon God."

"what……"

It turned out to be the case.

It's about what Orstide was talking about.

That being said, what about Nina?

Seemingly noticing my gaze, Kino gave a calm reply.

“Nina said she wanted to come too after she found out I was coming here. I asked the Dragon God for his opinion and got his permission.”

"That's it."

Well, I don't have any objections.

After all, Nina is at least a combatant.

Although she can't compare to Alice, she probably has the strength of a Sword King.

That being said.

Something's not right between Nina and Alice.

Should we consider separating them...?

Alice suddenly raised her hand.

Are you ready to take action?

Is it the Water God style or the Sword God style?

Is there anything I need to do in cooperation with?

……

That's when I started thinking.

Alice opened her arms and pulled Nina into her embrace.

"Nina!"

Nina, who was being hugged, smiled.

"Alice, you've gained a little weight."

"Huh, where?"

"Chest."

345. Head to the Heavenly Continent

They learned that Alice was going to the place where Kino was going.

Nina came along too.

Although it initially felt like they were about to fight, it was actually just their unique way of greeting each other.

Swordsmen's habits are truly hard to understand.

but.

Now that Kino is here, I feel much more at ease.

Kino has a pact with Alsterd, so he cannot be my enemy.

His abilities are fully worthy of recognition.

Although he lost to me before, he is actually very strong.

Just how powerful is it...?

It's hard to describe in words.

can only say.

Even when I was wearing magical armor in my past life, I was completely helpless against him.

Of course, Icarus was an exception.

……

Alice immediately went to help arrange accommodations for Kino and Nina.

They seemed to have a lot to talk about.

I won't bother them anymore.

After a while.

Another person came to visit.

This time, a black-haired knight arrived.

"Oh, Mr. Rudius, it's nice to see you again."

Alex, who was very enthusiastic, reached out his hand to me.

"Ah, hello..."

I will hold this Northern God, who left behind a illustrious reputation, in high regard.

"Then, I'll have to trouble you with my family?"

"No need to be so polite. We're partners on the same front, isn't it normal for us to trust each other?"

Alex said cheerfully.
