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

The thought of this made my face darken.

No, Rudy.

Having power is a good thing.

But great power is used to protect those you want to protect.

If possible, I would prefer that you turn your talent into a shield rather than a sword.

Therefore, today I will fulfill my duties as a father.

That's what I was thinking.

But when Rudy came up to me, before I could even say anything, he apologized to me.

"I'm sorry, Father!"

That's what he said.

I was stunned for a moment, but quickly straightened my face.

"Why do you say sorry?"

"Because I did something bad outside today."

"what's up?"

“I hit several children my age and made them cry.”

Rudius bent over and spoke in a low voice.

My tense mood relaxed a little.

Yeah.

So, Rudyus knew he had done something wrong?

That couldn't be better.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then half-squatted down and met Rudy's eyes.

"Rudy, can you tell me why you did this?"

"Because they are bullying people."

Rudy spoke very seriously.

"Bullying?"

"Yeah, they're throwing mud at Silphie, and she looks like she's about to cry."

Sylphie...

So that's how it is, they're children from the Roltz family.

But why didn't Roltz tell me about this?

“My father is the knight who protects the village. As his son, I cannot stand by and watch this bullying happen.”

"So I used magic... but because I didn't control the force well, I think I made them cry."

"In the end, it turned out that I was the one bullying the weak."

“I am very sorry that this incident has damaged my father’s reputation, so I’m sorry, Father!”

Rudius looked like he was about to cry, and kept apologizing to me.

what……

Seeing his sincere expression, I don't know why, but I almost cried too.

What an outstanding son he is!

Even someone as proud as me couldn't help but feel proud.

Rudius Greyrat.

Without a doubt, you are a kind child.

Thinking this, I pulled Rudy into my arms and hugged him tightly.

"F-Father?"

Rudy seemed somewhat surprised.

"Rudy, you don't need to feel sorry."

"But I injured them..."

"Yes, so you need to control your strength next time. But in terms of the action itself, you did the right thing."

Hear me say this.

A smile appeared on Rudy's face.

after that.

At the dinner table, we chatted happily.

That evening, during a break after exercising, I talked to Janice about it.

Janice smiled too.

8. Gentle Rudeus

In the blink of an eye, I turned six.

It has been six years since I returned to this world using time magic.

For the past six years, I have been honing my magic.

I vaguely sensed that my current magical power seemed to be much greater than it had been in my previous life.

Although it's not very useful now, it might come in handy someday.

On the other hand.

I am teaching Sylphie magic.

Hilfi is also a child with great magical talent, and although she has Laplace factor, she can still be surrounded by a thin amount of battle aura.

In other words, if she had started training from a young age, she could have become stronger than me.

However, there's no need for that.

Excessive power can actually put people in danger.

I know very well that I once tried to fight against the Atofi Territory on my own.

That time, I lost...

No.

I don't want to remember it anymore.

In short, I will make Sylphie a little stronger than in her previous life, but only a little.

This is enough until I meet the Dragon God.

Under my guidance, Silphie successfully learned spellcasting without incantation and mixed magic.

It's probably because of the Laplace factor.

Sylphie's magical talent is astonishing.

The Laplace factor is really useful.

"Ah, Rudy, it's raining!"

"Hilfi suddenly shouted."

"Ok?"

I looked up at the sky.

A light drizzle began to fall.

Yeah.

It's gotten to this point already.

Although it's not nice to say it like this, the corners of my mouth are already turned up.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

From Hilfi's perspective.

It started raining.

I was so excited about learning how to cast spells without chanting that I didn't even notice the sky for a moment.

Rudy kept smiling at me, seemingly oblivious to my presence.

We hurriedly ran out from under the big tree because Rudy had said that you shouldn't hide under a big tree when it's raining.

But that meant they all got soaked.

"Rudy, can't you make the rain stop?"

I asked, somewhat puzzled.

Rudy is amazing; he can do anything.

If it's so easy to make the sky rain heavily, then conversely, it should be able to stop the rain, right?

"Although it's possible, the crops are already wet, and they won't grow without rain. I won't intervene unless I'm bothered by complaints about the bad weather."

Rudy said that.

Ah, Rudy is so clever.

I was just feeling smug about how I'd learned to cast spells without chanting.

I'm still far behind Rudy.
