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

It's practically a castle!

It's almost comparable to the Demon King's Castle, isn't it?

"However, despite its magnificent appearance, the Adventurers' Guild in Ars is actually not doing well."

Loki said, "The Adventurers' Guild's requests are divided into two categories: producing monsters and maintaining public order, as well as accepting requests from the country. Occasionally, there will be requests from other people to help with things, but those are only a minority."

"And because the Knights are stationed around Asrayars, there are very few monsters around."

"As for the commission from the state..."

As Luo Qixi spoke, she glanced at the equally magnificent building across the street.

Five large characters were written in gilded material on the building's entrance.

Paul's Mercenary Group.

"The Paul Mercenary Group has grown in strength and opened branches all over the world. And because of the trust that Her Majesty the current Queen has placed in it, a large number of commissions from the Kingdom are entrusted to the Paul Mercenary Group."

"Delivering messages, going into battle, gathering intelligence, dealing with enemies who cannot show their faces..."

"These tasks, which would have been given to the Adventurers' Guild, have all been transferred to Paul's Mercenary Group, and the latter will do them even better."

Luo Qixi said to Luo Qishan.

Luo Qishan nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

at this time.

Eyes were cast over from Paul's mercenary group.

"That person is... Luo Qixi?"

Side Story: Leaving Home (Final)

"Two Lokishi... no, could it be!"

The man, who was originally surrounded by his subordinates, immediately sprang into action upon seeing the familiar figure.

He almost forcefully pushed aside the people around him, ignoring their attempts to stop him, and staggered out amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.

“Hey, Rocky!” Paul shouted.

Hearing the voice behind her, Luo Qixi stopped and turned around, only to be surprised to see that familiar figure.

"Mr. Paul, so you've been here all along."

"It really is Luo Qixi, then could the one next to her be... Lala? Has Lala returned?"

Paul rushed out of the crowd, his eyes fixed on Lokishan, who was standing next to Lokishi.

But soon, he frowned and shook his head slightly.

"No...no..."

"Although you look very similar, you are not Lala..."

Paul has practically watched Lala grow up.

Although she was a strange child, he had seen every side of Lala from childhood to adulthood.

The blue-haired girl from the Migludian tribe standing before me is definitely not Lala.

"Um... hello, I'm Luo Qishan."

Luo Qishan was a little nervous and spoke in the human language she had just learned in the past few days.

She was still a little scared of the tall man who suddenly appeared, especially his burning gaze... as if he wanted to see right through her.

“Lokishan… Oh right, Rudy mentioned it before.”

Paul quickly remembered what Rudius had said: Locci had a younger sister.

I never imagined that so many years would pass in the blink of an eye, and that Luo Qishan would have grown up so much.

……

"I see, so you came here to have fun."

After learning the details, Paul finally understood what had happened.

Lala still hasn't returned.

Luo Qixi was simply traveling with Luo Qishan to the capital and happened to pass by the mercenary group.

"Well, that makes sense. After all, if that kid comes back, how could he not come and tell his father?" Paul laughed and scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"That kid is really... not only does he cause trouble for others, but he also took Lala on an adventure. It's outrageous."

"Well, since we're here, let's have some fun. If we run into trouble, we'll show this to them."

As Paul spoke, he took off the badge that symbolized his mercenary group from his waist and handed it to Loki.

"Although it's just a mercenary group, it still has some influence in the Kingdom of Asura."

After giving his instructions, Paul patted Rocci on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Loki watched Paul's departing figure, opening her mouth as if to speak.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

Compared to the last time we met, Paul had more wrinkles on his face and more gray hair.

His once robust and tall body now seemed to have become somewhat hunched over.

Paul, in his fifties, should still be in his prime.

But now he looks rather old.

Loki vaguely recalled what Paul looked like when she first saw him.

At that time, he was full of energy, as if he would never grow old, with his beloved by his side, happy and fulfilled.

At that time, Paul didn't act like a father; instead, he was like a vibrant teenager, just as naive as himself.

But I don’t know when it will start.

correct.

When I saw Paul for the second time, he had become a mature man.

Paul now has completely lost the arrogance he had in his youth.

He commands a massive mercenary group with over five figures, keeping a close eye on the war situation in the Kingdom of Asura and around the world, and he is surrounded by the people he loves and those who love him...

What a happy person!

Loki thought to himself that if Rudeus hadn't left, his life wouldn't have been any more fulfilling.

Over the years, Paul has never mentioned it.

but……

Paul, too, longed for the day Rudius would return.

Although the arrival of that day is extremely unlikely...

Very slim.

Looking at Paul's slightly weathered back, Loki suddenly realized that she might not only see this scene once.

Although Rudius is 34 years younger than him.

However, the lifespan of the Migludians is around 200 years, and due to their unique development, they maintain this appearance until old age.

In other words.

Perhaps one day, that aged figure will be replaced by Rudeus.

And until that time, his appearance would not change at all.

Think of this.

Luo Qixi clenched her fists instinctively.

“Let’s go, Luo Qishan, let’s go look around somewhere else,” Luo Qixi said.

"Hmm? Aren't we going in to take a look? The Adventurers' Guild."

"no need……"

For both Paul and himself, the Adventurers' Guild was a special place, a place that held something special.

If I had to say something, it would probably be...

youth?

Upon thinking of this word, Luo Qixi couldn't help but chuckle.

Speaking of which...

There was a time when I thought that spending my whole life as an adventurer wouldn't be such a bad thing.

I've also imagined conquering the most difficult maze.

But now, those things are no longer important.

As long as Rudy comes back...

……

After leaving Paul's mercenary group, the two continued strolling along the street for a while.

However, because she was in a bad mood, Luo Qixi wasn't in the mood to continue shopping, and she took Luo Qishan home before the sun had even set.

After dinner, Luo Qixi asked Luo Qishan how she felt about the past two days.

However, Luo Qishan's answer was beyond Luo Qixi's expectations.

"I want to go home."

"Eh?"

Luo Qixi was taken aback.
