However, although the exterior of the house has changed, the furniture and furnishings inside remain the same as before.

“Well then, please wait for Mr. Rigdl again. I need to go back and guard the transfer magic circle, so I’ll take my leave now,” Lugard said.

"Thank you for showing me the way, you've been a great help," Rudius said with a smile as he rose to see him off.

Lugard quickly replied, "No, no, no, it's just my duty, there's no need to thank me."

“That being said, it is commendable to be conscientious and responsible in one’s duties, and you have also told us so much about the situation in the village along the way. It is only right that we are grateful. Please accept this.” Rudius said with a smile.

Lugard blushed slightly.

She responded softly, then turned and quickly left the cabin, disappearing from sight in no time.

"Why are you running so fast?"

Rudius was puzzled. He wasn't some kind of monster, so why was he running so fast?

"Brother, don't go around flirting with other women!"

Norren, furious, jumped up and punched Rudeus on the head.

"If you bring home a fourth wife besides Aisha, your mother will be so angry she'll die!"

"I didn't flirt with anyone, it was just normal communication."

Unfortunately, no matter how Rudius explained, Noren wouldn't listen at all.

In the end, Rudius could only bow his head and apologize.

Noren gave a soft hum.

Although my brother has always been an excellent and mature man, he always makes the wrong moves when it comes to women.

In addition, his three older sisters were always overly lenient with Rudeus, so Norn always felt that even if Rudeus brought women home at will, they would eventually have no choice but to accept it.

So Norn was sometimes very confused.

Why did the older brother, under such circumstances, only have three wives?

Perhaps there's something I'm unaware of...

"crunch-"

Just as Noren was thinking this, the door to the cabin was pushed open from the outside.

"Sorry, things in the village took a while."

A figure with green hair walked into the house and gave the two of them a familiar smile.

"It's been a long time, Rudius, Norren."

"Mr. Rachel Rudd..."

Noren stood up instinctively.

Just as she hesitated, Rudius patted her shoulder and whispered, "Go, Norren."

It was as if they had gained courage from Rudius's words.

Noren threw himself into Rajirud's arms, pressing his body completely against Rajirud's.

"Noren..."

Rijrud paused for a moment, then smiled and patted Noren's golden hair. "You've grown taller."

“Mr. Rachel Rudd, I have something I’d like you to see!” Noren looked up and said earnestly to Rachel Rudd.

"what?"

"It's a novel I wrote!"

Bonus Chapter: Noren and Aisha (8)

In the cabin.

Rachel Rudd sat at the table, intently watching the novel that Noren had written by hand, stroke by stroke.

Norren and Rudius took the opportunity to get some fresh air outside.

Rachel Rudd's room was situated on higher ground, offering a panoramic view of the entire village.

A year is neither a long nor a short time.

For long-lived species like Speludia, a year might be no different from a week. But for Norn, a lot had indeed happened in that year.

Her experiences at school made her more mature and composed.

She inherited the physiques of Paul and Janis and has become much better.

Although I still sometimes do silly things for no reason.

"elder brother……"

Noren suddenly spoke up.

"What's wrong?" Rudius asked.

"You know, Mr. Rachel Rudd has been living alone in this house for so long, doesn't he feel lonely?" Noren asked in a low voice.

Rudeus was stunned for a moment.

That being said...

That seems to be true.

For hundreds of years, Raji Rudd has been wandering the world alone.

Because of the curse from Laplace, he cannot be trusted and is even met with hostility for no reason.

So all these years, he has always been alone.

Perhaps that's why he developed the habit of sleeping in a corner, half-squatting and clutching his weapon.

However, Rudius wouldn't say these things; instead, he wanted to hear Noren's thoughts.

“Noren, what do you think?” Rudius asked.

“I think… perhaps Mr. Rachel Rudd doesn’t feel lonely, because he’s already used to it.”

Norren said softly.

He killed his own son during a past war.

In the centuries that followed, he lived on in vain, harboring hatred for Laplace and regret for everything that was irretrievably lost, and striving in vain to salvage his reputation in a hopeless endeavor.

Norren felt that Rachel Rudd was less lonely and more tired.

Life is too tiring!

"Noren..."

Rudius looked at Noren, who was deep in thought, and didn't know what to say.

Finally, he patted Noren's head.

"Noren, I have to go now."

"Eh?"

"I suddenly have something to attend to at Boss Long's place, so you can stay here."

"Is this... okay?" Noren asked, somewhat taken aback.

"Of course. It's very safe here, and with Mr. Rachel Rudd here, I don't think you'll encounter any danger."

Rudius chuckled and said, "Or perhaps you don't enjoy being alone with Mr. Rigdl?"

"Ah...that's not what I meant..."

Noren lowered his head and remained silent.

Rudius smiled.

He ruffled Norren's hair again, then turned and walked toward the teleportation magic circle in the distance.

"Please apologize to Mr. Ridge Rudd for me, and when you come next time..."

Rudius's figure quickly disappeared into the grass.

Norren stared blankly in the direction Rudius had disappeared, lost in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, the door of the wooden house was pushed open from the inside.

Rachel Rudd came out of the house.

He glanced around and asked in confusion, "Where's Rudius?"

“My brother had to leave early,” Noren said.

“Really… I’m so sorry, I was so engrossed in reading the novel that I didn’t even notice Rudeus had left.”

"I can't believe it," said Rachel Rudd apologetically.

"It was clearly my brother who left without saying goodbye..."

Noren pouted and gave a slightly dissatisfied snort.

He then looked up at Rachel Rudd and asked earnestly, "Mr. Rachel Rudd, have you finished reading the novel I wrote?"

"Ah."

Rachel Rudd nodded: "But from my perspective, it's more like a biography than a novel?"

“Yes, I wrote it down bit by bit based on what Mr. Rachel Rudd had said before,” Noren said shyly.

A year after the battle on the continent of the heavens, she and Rudeus came to the village to treat Rigellud's illness.

After completing her treatment, she stayed in the village for a while.

Listen to Ragi Luther recount his experiences over the centuries following the Battle of Laplace.

"I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly."

Rachel Rudd couldn't help but smile wryly. He couldn't even remember what he had said back then, only that Noren kept asking about the details of everything, forcing Rachel Rudd to keep recalling.
