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

After breakfast, Paul kissed his two wives goodbye and headed to the mercenary headquarters in the capital.

Thanks to her relationship with Queen Ariel and the convenience of the transfer magic circle.

There's also the huge sum of money left behind by Alsterd.

Over the years, the Paul Mercenary Group has become the largest mercenary group in the Kingdom of Asura, with its influence extending from the Central Continent to the Demon Continent, and the amount of intelligence it possesses is astonishingly vast.

Perhaps one day our power will be comparable to that of the Adventurers' Guild.

In contrast, Paul's workload is becoming increasingly heavy.

"Commander Paul!"

"Captain!"

"Oh, oh, oh, the main character has finally arrived! Listen to me, Commander..."

"Wanglong Kingdom's latest update yesterday..."

As soon as Paul entered the mercenary group, he was overwhelmed by a swarm of people waiting to report.

Paul was already used to this situation.

Thanks to the convenience of the teleportation magic circle, the Paul Mercenary Group's intelligence transmission efficiency is terrifying; basically, events that happen on one day can be gathered at headquarters by the next day.

Many matters were beyond the control of local officials, so they were all left to Paul to make decisions.

"Alright, alright, everyone line up and come one at a time, don't make a mess!"

Vera, who was in charge of the secretarial work, spoke in a low voice to maintain discipline.

This kind of situation happens every day in Paul's mercenary group.

“Thank you for your hard work, Vera,” Paul said with a smile.

Vera was one of the sisters he saved during the Great Migration Disaster, along with her sister Shera, who currently hold positions in Paul's mercenary group.

Shera, who isn't very good at dealing with people, is currently in charge of logistics and similar tasks.

The bolder and more meticulous Vera became Paul's secretary, responsible for compiling the daily reports to Paul.

The people and intelligence gathered in the hall at this moment were the result of Vera's analysis, which concluded that "the leader should make the decision."

"Captain, you'd better get back to work," Vera said irritably.

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Amidst the hustle and bustle, Paul's workday began.

……

……

When it comes to the work of mercenaries, most people think of fighting and killing on the battlefield.

As a high-ranking member of the mercenary group, Paul had not personally gone to the battlefield, or rather, engaged in serious combat, for many years.

His daily work involves making various decisions, processing documents and intelligence from all over the world.

And various meetings.

It is precisely because of this development model that Paul's mercenary group has been able to prosper.

As the sun sets.

The number of people in the hall gradually thinned out.

"Ah, it's finally over."

Paul stretched, feeling that his body was starting to feel weaker with age.

Vera handed her a steaming cup of tea.

"Thank you for your hard work, Commander."

"I haven't seen Shera for the past few days. How is she?"

"It'll be the same as always."

Vera said weakly.

"Really? You two should find a good family to marry into. If you both have time, I'll help you find someone."

"Really? Then I'll have to trouble you, Commander."

"Well then, I'll head back now."

Paul yawned, and, weary from a long day's work, got into the carriage and headed home.

Upon reaching the gate, Paul suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Do not know why……

Although he didn't understand the specifics, Paul felt that something was off about the atmosphere at home today.

As he approached the gate, he vaguely heard a man's voice coming from inside the house.

Have we had some guests?

Who could it be...?

Paul swallowed hard, then pushed open the door with a heavy heart.

……

"Ah, Father."

Rudius, who was talking to Janis, saw Paul suddenly push the door open and instinctively stood up.

Paul stood blankly at the door.

He stared at his son, whom he hadn't seen for three years, lost in thought for a moment.

He didn't realize it until Rudius walked towards him and opened his arms.

"Father."

Rudius hugged him without saying a word and said with a smile.

"Welcome back, I'm back."

Chapter Five: Let's Get Married

Upon seeing Rudeus appear before him, Paul's mind went blank for a moment before he realized—Rudeus had returned.

After a three-year absence, Rudius has finally returned.

"Father, I'm back."

Rudius smiled, opened his arms, and walked up to Paul, as if waiting for a hug.

In a daze, familiar scenes appeared before Paul's eyes.

Twenty years ago…

That's right, it's been twenty years since then.

During that great migration disaster, Rudeus was transported to the Demon Continent. A ten-year-old child was suddenly transferred to the Demon Continent, a place where even highly skilled adventurers could hardly survive, and he also had to take care of a young lady.

under these circumstances.

Rudius not only struggled his way back to his side, but also brought news of his mother's whereabouts.

that time.

When he saw Rudius appear before him, he felt that "all his efforts and waiting have been worthwhile, and he can keep going."

That's right, exactly.

Even though it's just a fleeting presence here, it's enough to put people at ease.

Paul took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and slammed it hard into Rudy's chest.

"Rudeus..."

"Yes?"

"You... such a filial son!"

Paul said through gritted teeth, then turned around and hugged Rudius.

"Anyway, it's good that you're back."

"Ah, yes."

Rudius was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

It's good that you're back...

Yes.

As long as they can come back safely, anything is fine.

……

……

After the initial excitement, Paul learned that Rudius had been back for several hours, but hadn't bothered him at the mercenary group's place.

During this time, Lilia and Janis were responsible for entertaining Rudeus.

The mother and son, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, embraced each other and remained silent for a long time.

Only after Janice calmed down did the two begin to talk about their experiences over the past few years.

But in reality, Rudius had nothing to say.

If I had to say something, I'd only have one sentence to say.

"It's all over..."

That's right.

This long war finally came to an end after he, along with Orstide, Lala, and Leo, arrived in the World of Nothingness.
