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

At the same time, she felt a little relieved.

Because this would mean that Yars had not deceived himself.

"As expected, Ars is special."

Liz thought to herself.

Just then, Yars suddenly let out a soft "Eh".

"Liz, have we passed by?"

"Ok?"

Liz snapped out of her daze and turned to look at the surrounding streets.

I was so engrossed in my conversation with Yars that I wandered off quite a distance without realizing it.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault... I'll take you home," Jars said apologetically.

"No need for such trouble. I am, after all, a swordsman of the advanced level of the Water God School."

Liz smiled and said, "Since we've already passed by, why don't I take you home? Come to think of it, I don't even know where you live."

“Okay.” Yars nodded.

The two continued along the path.

The city was very quiet at night, with only occasional sightings of knights patrolling the streets.

These knights, riding tall horses and clad in golden armor, patrolled the quiet, deserted streets, looking quite imposing.

The Golden Knights.

It is a knightly order founded by Her Majesty Ariel, the current queen of the Kingdom of Asura, and is subordinate to Ariel herself.

External wars and internal order issues can be seen in every corner of the Kingdom of Asura.

Upon seeing the two figures, the Knights stopped them.

"Hey, what are you doing on the street in the middle of the night?" a member of the knight order on horseback questioned.

Liz said, "We are students of the Water God Style Dojo, and we just left and are on our way home."

"A student from the dojo? Why are you staying so late?"

Does this require any special reason?

The knight glanced at the swords at their waists and frowned, saying, "Where do you live? I need to verify your identities."

Liz was somewhat indignant upon hearing this.

Having lived in the capital for so long, this was the first time I'd been questioned when I came home late at night.

Ars stepped forward, about to speak.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Oh, isn't this Yars?"

Everyone turned to look.

Then a woman wearing golden armor, with a large, round chest and a pair of cat-like markings on her head, rode over on horseback.

Chocolate-colored skin, and an eye patch covering her right eye.

Although they hadn't met many times, Ars recognized her immediately.

"Gilead?" Jars was overjoyed.

Kyrie Irving smiled, dismounted, walked up to Ars, and ruffled his red hair, feeling a pang of emotion.

That red hair is just like Alice's.

The knight standing nearby asked cautiously, "Vice Commander, who is this...?"

“They’re not suspicious people, I can assure you. You can continue your patrol,” Gilead casually ordered.

"Yes."

The knight quickly turned and left.

After he walked away, Gilead's gaze fell on Liz, who looked somewhat at a loss, and he tilted his head.

"Is this young girl your girlfriend?"

"Eh!?"

Upon hearing Gilead's question, Liz immediately panicked.

She was somewhat at a loss.

"Not yet." Ars smiled shyly.

"I see. I think you two are quite a good match. You weren't before, were you?"

"Kyrie said thoughtfully."

Liz breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder: what did Yals mean when he said "not yet"?

Not yet, but does that mean it will be sooner or later?

Thinking about this, Liz's heart, which had just settled, started racing again; in fact, she was quite nervous.

"Well, I won't bother you any longer."

Kyrie Irvine smiled.

She mounted her horse, gave Yars a thumbs-up, and rode off.

Liz only came to her senses when she could no longer see her at all.

"Who is she?" Liz asked, bewildered.

"Gilead, the vice-commander of the Golden Knights, the Black Wolf Sword King."

"I had a very good relationship with Mama Red, and she was also my teacher," Yars said.

"This, this is it..."

Liz was somewhat surprised.

My father has close ties with the higher-ups in Paul's mercenary group.

The mother, on the other hand, had known the vice-commander of the Golden Knights for a long time.

This network of connections and resources is truly remarkable...

Not

You could even say he could roam freely throughout the entire Kingdom of Asura.

“Let’s go, Liz,” Jars said, waving his hand.

The chance encounter with Kyrie Irvine shocked Liz, but it was just a minor incident for Ars.

The two continued their journey together and soon arrived at Yars's house.

"This is...your home?"

Standing in front of that enormous mansion, Liz was speechless with astonishment.

She originally thought that since they were all places where ordinary people lived, they should be pretty much the same.

But the enormous, luxurious mansion that appeared before her truly shattered Liz's worldview.

This mansion is even more spacious and grand than the residences of nobles.

It's unbelievable.

"It seems that my parents were kind to Her Majesty the Queen in the past, so Her Majesty the Queen specially bestowed it upon them."

Ars scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

“But my father and the others live in Sharia and rarely come to the capital. Only my two older sisters who study in the capital and I come here to stay occasionally,” Ars said.

"This, this is it..."

Liz couldn't hide her shock.

It's even more astonishing that they don't live in such a luxurious mansion.

Ars didn't think that much about it.

Now that she was home, Liz decided to say goodbye to Ars and see him again tomorrow morning.

"that……"

Ars scratched his head. "You've come all this way... why don't you come in and have a cup of tea before you leave?"

"Huh? But now it's already..."

Liz checked the time.

It's already late at night, and if I don't go back soon, I might not even have time to sleep.

"That's true... No, my house is actually quite big, so I can sleep here."

"Eh?"

"Ok?"

Liz was stunned.

Ars tilted his head.

What's so strange about that? You have plenty of empty rooms at home, so you can just find anywhere to stay.

Is it possible...

Is she not used to sleeping in an unfamiliar bed?
