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

"But you should know that although Alice doesn't look like a young lady at all, she is Philip's daughter..."

I frowned slightly.

Did Philip survive?

"Ah."

Paul nodded slightly.

"Although the incident caused him to be transported to the conflict zone, Gilead arrived in time and narrowly rescued Philip."

Yale yale...

I just said it casually at the time, I never expected that Gilead would actually do it.

As expected of the Sword King Kyrie Irvine.

They actually managed to fight their way all the way from such a far place...

“I have never told Philip that Alice is still alive.”

Paul lowered his voice.

I froze for a moment.

"Father, you mean..."

"If you really want to be together, I suggest you don't go back."

That's right.

Indeed it is.

If it's just a physical relationship, it doesn't matter how long it lasts.

But if I wanted to give Alice a legitimate status as my wife, that would be a huge problem.

Because I am Grerat.

Rudius Notos Grerat.

If I were to be with Alice, I would inevitably become a thorn in the side of certain nobles.

It might even be seen as a union between Notos and Boreas.

and so.

Maintaining a purely physical relationship is actually the best option for Alice and me.

But if that happens...

Someday.

Alice will be used as a bargaining chip by Boreas to marry other men.

This was an unavoidable fate that the nobility had to bear.

……

However, there is another option.

That is to make Alice disappear forever.

Paul concealed the fact that Alice was still alive.

If Alice and I stop now, Alice can no longer be Boreas.

I don't need to become Notos.

……

Paul patted me on the shoulder.

"If you decide to do this, then come and ask me for advice."

"Although it's not quite appropriate to say it like this, I have a lot of experience in this matter."

I looked at Paul with a wry smile.

Paul.

Janice.

One was the legitimate son of a nobleman from the Kingdom of Asura.

One was the daughter of a knight from the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

Two people who both loathe aristocratic customs flee their families.

Then they met in [Black Wolf's Fang].

Fate, in essence, brings together two people who should never have crossed paths.

Who would have thought?

A disciple of a nobleman from the Kingdom of Asra, and the daughter of a knight from the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

Will they come together as adventurers?

"...In any case, I respect Alice's choice."

"Really? That's a man's awareness."

Paul smiled and patted me on the shoulder, then turned and invited the search team to go eat together.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I must say, as expected of Greirat.

He never loses when it comes to dealing with women.

……

after that.

We sat at the same table, drinking and chatting.

I didn't tell Alice what Paul had told me.

There are some things I'd rather let her choose for herself.

There's no need to worry about any consequences.

I will always make sure she has room to regret it.

Alice.

Become the person you want to be.

This is how I want to make amends to you in this lifetime.

……

"Drink! Drink! Drink!"

"Drink! Drink! Drink!"

Amidst a chorus of cheers and jeers from the surrounding crowd.

Alice drank the entire glass of wine in one gulp.

"Oh, oh, oh! Not bad at all, as expected of a woman from the Greirat family!"

Paul slapped his thigh and laughed loudly.

I looked utterly helpless.

Just as I was about to say something to Paul, Alice staggered over to my side.

His eyes were fixed on me, as if he wanted to see right through me.

"What, what's wrong?"

Why does Rudy have three heads?

"You've had too much to drink."

"I did drink a bit too much, but why does Rudy have three heads?"

"So you shouldn't drink it!"

A burst of laughter erupted from the surrounding area.

what……

This will be troublesome when we get back.

I thought so.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the tavern.

Are there any family members here for this child?

Everyone looked at the sound.

But then they saw a green-haired demon standing at the door, with a golden-haired girl riding on his neck.

"The Spelud tribe!"

The people in the tavern were startled and instinctively reached for their weapons.

"Rigid Rudd!"

I called out in time.

Upon hearing my voice, everyone paused for a moment.

"Rudeus, are you here too?"

Rachel Rudd looked at me.

At that moment, the girl riding on his shoulders spoke in a childish voice.

"Dad! Brother! I'm here!"

Oh yeah?

Isn't that Noren?
