Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

So, Ron said nothing.

……

……

……

Rudeus didn't waste time.

After getting the map, he went back to confirm the itinerary that day, and embarked on a journey to the ancient dragon ruins in various places the next day.

The longer the time required for time magic to be performed, the greater the magic power consumption.

Considering this aspect, time is of the essence.

This journey is estimated to take about half a year, and Rudeus will not come back unless it is necessary.

Although Aisha was somewhat tempted, she ultimately declined Ron's offer to be taken care of.

She wanted to stay home and wait for Rudeus to return.

Ron personally sent Rudeus on his journey.

He watched Rudius's figure go farther and farther away, and finally disappeared completely at the end of the horizon, and couldn't help feeling lost.

Is this the end?

I have been busy during this period of time and have gained stronger power and can use the magic eye easily, but in the end I didn't save anyone and did nothing.

What exactly is wrong?

Ron didn't know and he was very confused.

If Rudeus's time magic could be successfully activated, what would the world become?

Although Ron told Rudeus about the time magic at his request, he didn't think too much about it at the time. He just said the only way and let everything take its course.

Besides.

It seems that there is nothing left on this earth that I can be nostalgic for.

Perhaps, I should also consider Qixing's proposal.

Moved to the Sky Fortress and settled down...

……

Ron thought so.

Suddenly, a fragment of memory that had settled deep in his mind woke him up.

It seems that there is indeed one thing I have not completed.

That happened before I died.

When he went to Nekros Fortress to obtain Socas Grass, a man named Aaron asked him to report his safety to his family in his hometown in the Asura Kingdom and tell them that he would be able to return home in a few years.

However, he eventually died in the explosion caused by the Apostle of Man-God.

It seems unnecessary to report safety or anything like that.

But, Ron thought.

After all, I had agreed to his request.

At the very least, we must bring back the news of his death...

Chapter 163: Between the Fields

After Rudeus left.

A few days later, Ron also set off.

He crossed the border from the upper jaw of the red dragon and successfully arrived at the Donadi territory of the Asura Kingdom after spending several months. The climate suddenly became much warmer.

Although geographically the Donadi Territory can be considered as the north, the Red Dragon Mountains block most of the cold currents, snowflakes no longer float in the sky at all times, and there is more arable land.

The battle for the throne of the Asura Kingdom has finally come to an end.

The first prince ascended the throne and became king.

However, the imagined villain's victory, his rule over the world and the murder of innocent people, did not happen. Rather, almost nothing changed. To ordinary people, it seemed to make no difference whether the first prince or the second princess sat on the throne.

"I really miss it..."

Ron muttered to himself as he looked at the endless stream of adventurers and caravans.

I still remember that when I first came to this world, I left Orsted and decided to hone myself by becoming an adventurer, so I chose to start from the relatively peaceful Kingdom of Asura.

He advanced northwards and by the time he arrived at the border city of Nicaro, he had almost reached Class B and had acquired a not very pleasant nickname.

Back then, I wasn't as powerful as I am now. Even if I fought with all my might, I was no match for the Red Dragon. But because of this, every day back then was fulfilling, and I could feel myself getting stronger every day.

Speaking of which...

I think it was here that I first met Sarah.

At that time, they accepted a commission from a caravan in order to travel to the northern continent, and followed the caravan through the forest to reach Rosenburg. Coincidentally, Sarah's team also accepted this commission.

Every time I was on duty in the middle of the night and was bored, Sarah would come and chat with me about random things.

It’s not entirely true to say that it was done intentionally to shorten the distance.

Maybe he just thought he was easy to talk to, so he came here to kill some time.

She is a really cute girl...

Although she was immature and clumsy in many ways, and occasionally had a temper, Ron really liked these aspects of her, and the distance between them became much closer...

time flies.

Why did I have no sense of crisis at that time?

Ron sighed.

Sadly, all this is now in the past.

Sarah is dead, there is no point in saying anything.

……

……

After passing through the city of Nicaro, Ron continued south along the road.

Aaron said that his hometown was a small village in the north of Donadi Territory. Although he didn't mention the specific name, the north is vast and sparsely populated, and there are not many villages suitable for living.

Ron spent some time to find out and learned that there was a young man named Aaron in a small village called Brophy. He showed an outstanding talent for swordsmanship since he was a child. He became an intermediate-level swordsman of the Northern God School when he just reached adulthood. Later, in the process of being an adventurer, he became a senior member of the Northern God School. He was well-known in the neighborhood and had accumulated some wealth.

Later he said he wanted to go out and gain experience, and he hasn't been back for several years.

His father died early, leaving him, his mother and his sister to live together.

He has never been married, and his sister has married and moved to the next village in recent years, leaving his mother alone at home.

Ron quickly found his mother's residence.

It was an inconspicuous house at the corner of the village, a small house surrounded by a low wooden fence. There was some cultivated land in the yard, where some unfamiliar vegetables were planted. They looked like potatoes or something.

Wisps of smoke rose from the chimney of the house and soon drifted into the air.

The atmosphere of the whole village is very peaceful, like a paradise, far away from all disputes.

If I could live in a place like this for the rest of my life, it wouldn't be such a bad thing... But even if I thought so, I don't have anyone to spend the rest of my life with, so living alone in this place seems quite difficult.

"Boom boom boom——"

Ron knocked on the door of the cabin.

There was a sound of footsteps from inside the door, and then the door was opened.

A middle-aged woman with brown hair and plain clothes appeared behind the door.

She looked at Ron with a hint of surprise, clearly feeling somewhat unsure about the stranger's presence. Black hair was very rare in the Asura Kingdom, not to mention the strange-looking object he was carrying on his back. Although the outline was obscured by a coarse cloth, she could still vaguely sense that it was something rather ominous.

"Hello ma'am, do you know Mr. Aaron?"

"...You're here to see Aaron? Is he someone he knew when he was an adventurer?"

The middle-aged woman came to her senses a little, then shook her head.

"I'm Aaron's mother. If you're looking for Aaron, you're disappointed. Ten years ago, he said he was going out to make a name for himself and become a big shot. But he never came back, not even a letter."

Hearing this, Ron confirmed the identity of the man in front of him.

He informed them of Aaron's death.

After hearing the news of her son's death, Aaron's mother covered her mouth and shed tears, but Ron didn't know what to say to comfort her.

After crying, Aaron's mother asked if Aaron had left any relics.

But where are the relics?

Aaron's body was burned to charcoal by the explosion, and the situation at the time did not allow Ron to take his ashes away, so he left in a hurry.

However, seeing Aaron's mother's heartfelt sadness, Ron could not remain indifferent.

After all, his heart is still soft and warm.

I can't bear to see such sadness and helplessness.

After much thought, he simply handed over the money he had to Aaron's mother and claimed that the money was Aaron's legacy.

Aaron's mother accepted it with tears in her eyes, and thanked Ron repeatedly, wanting to keep Ron for a meal before leaving.

Ron felt unworthy of the favor, so he waved his hands and left her yard.

……

After completing Aaron's last wish, Ron did not leave the village.

He found a tree on a small slope at the entrance of the village and sat down beneath it, gazing at the village below. It was noon, smoke billowed from the chimneys of each house, and occasionally children could be seen chasing and playing in the countryside, a peaceful scene.

"so good……"

Ron sighed.

Since arriving in this world, I've barely had a moment of peace. Looking back, the years I felt most at peace were the two years I spent traveling with Orsted and Qixing.

But now Orsted can't be contacted, and Qixing is also concentrating on preparing the transfer magic. That time can't be returned.

There is nothing left on this land worth reminiscing about.

"……Let's go back."

Ron muttered.

When we get back, we'll move to the sky fortress.

Thinking this, he slowly stood up and prepared to return along the same path he came.

However, just as he stood up, a familiar and clear voice, which sounded a little surprised and doubtful, suddenly came from behind him.

"…Ron?"

Human-God Chapter: 164, Sarah's Experience

"Ron?"

Someone called from behind.

Ron staggered suddenly and almost collapsed.

At this moment, he thought a lot and felt it was incredible. He also felt that the voice was extremely familiar. Apart from her, no one else could make him remember it so clearly.

But isn’t she... dead?

"Is that you, Ron?"

A familiar voice called from behind again, and walked towards this side.

Ron took a deep breath and turned to look behind him.

The next moment.
