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

Although I can't treat her as my wife, I'll at least declare it that way for now.

"Is that thing a magical artifact?"

"what?"

"It's the women's underwear that often appears in your dreams."

"..."

"It's basically that thing that shatters dreams, it's really unbelievable."

"That's not some magical artifact, it's the god I believe in."

"Yeah."

"Can I leave now?"

"I'm sorry, not yet."

Bita twisted her body.

“I only told half the truth. I am the God Child, and my abilities cannot be easily broken. Although you seem to have similar abilities, it is impossible for you to forcibly break free from my illusion.”

"..."

Did I fall for their trap?

Even if one regains consciousness, one cannot escape the illusion.

In other words.

Am I destined to spend the rest of my life sitting here with this lump of slime?

No, probably not.

Icarus will kill me soon.

She has the authority to forcibly extract my magic, and could easily destroy me using it.

"However, our duel is not over yet."

Just when I was daydreaming.

Bita continued to make sounds.

"Since I have sworn to fight you, I will not run away."

"Next, I will cast the final illusion on you."

"If you can break free from the illusion that follows, I will consider it a victory for you. I will keep my promise, give you my body, and rescue Rijkaard."

Bita said this.

Huh?

Is this still possible?

It was really a bit unexpected.

I originally thought the apostle of the gods and men would kill me by any means necessary.

This is the current situation.

If Bita wanted, she could leave me here forever.

It seems they read my mind.

"This incident is at most just to repay a favor to God."

"Bita said."

"I only need to do what God and Man require of me; as for the rest... I don't care."

"What are the things that the gods and men ask you to do?"

"here we go."

They did not answer my question.

That's what Bita said.

Darkness fell before my eyes once again.

"Well……"

I slowly opened my eyes.

My body feels so heavy.

It looked as if it was being pressed down by a stone.

what happened.

I tried my best to lift my head.

As I moved, a sore, aching sound came from my lower back, as if it were about to burst from the strain.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts...

What happened?

I remember……

It seems she fell asleep while researching magic because she was too tired.

Studying magic...

My gaze fell on the table in front of me.

I just fell asleep on this table.

The table was covered with all sorts of draft papers, covered with symbols that only I could understand.

This was the prototype of time magic.

Yes, that's right.

What I'm researching is time magic.

Having tried everything, I am certain that I can never reach the place where the gods and men reside...

Think so.

Despairing, I turned to studying the magic of time travel.

Magic is omnipotent.

That should be achievable.

And as I expected, the research has now been completed, and the time magic is basically finished.

I finally couldn't resist falling asleep just now because I had been staying up for so long.

then.

I had a very bizarre dream.

In that dream.

My time magic worked.

I went back to the time when I was just born, and then married Silphie, Lokishi, and Alice.

Despite experiencing many setbacks.

But in terms of the outcome, everything went relatively smoothly.

Even my daughter is a time traveler, coming from another timeline to help me.

correct.

I also became an ally of the Dragon God.

Zanaba and Cliff are both alive and well.

And there's Aisha.

I don't know why, but she actually slept with me...

That's really strange.

I've never thought about this kind of thing before, so why did I dream about it?

but.

Anyway.

Since I was able to have such a dream, it must be a good omen.

Damn you, you'd better clean your neck and wait.

I'll go kill you soon.
