Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

The girl pointed her sword at Ron and reached into his pocket.

Then he took out the adventurer's certificate from inside.

She took a few steps back and looked at the adventurer.

"S-rank adventurer, Ron...?"

"Ron..."

The girl murmured the name.

"I seem to have heard this name somewhere..."

"Wait, according to the date of birth registered on this adventurer's certificate, you're already over a hundred years old?! What's going on? Aren't you human? Or..."

Over a hundred years old?

Ron couldn't help but be stunned.

The birth year listed on his adventurer certificate was 399 of the Ankylosaur calendar, a year he had calculated based on the date he transferred to this world and his own age.

If what the girl said is true, then it means...

"What year is it now?"

"Hmm? Of course it's the 510th year of the Ankylosaur calendar. Why do you keep saying such strange things?"

The girl looked at Ron strangely.

The 510th year of the Ankylosaur calendar?!

Ron was stunned when he heard the year.

How could this be?

Time magic is supposed to transport you to the past, so why did you end up in the future?

Could it be that the time magic failed?

Just as Ron was lost in thought, another pair of footsteps sounded from behind him. This one was much more steady than the girl's, yet seemed lighter, as if it belonged to a highly skilled swordsman.

The girl, who was originally wary of Ron, looked behind him and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sister Aixia! Come quickly, I found a suspicious guy!"

"Why are you yelling? What an idiot! I was planning to quietly subdue this guy first."

A familiar and slightly vicissitudes of life voice of anger came from behind.

Ron looked over his shoulder blankly.

But what came into view was not the girl with short reddish-brown hair from the past, but an old lady who was very old but still in good health.

However, those light green eyes remained the same as before.

“…Aisha.”

Ron muttered.

"..."

The old lady stopped.

She looked at Ron in front of her, and for a moment she was stunned. It seemed as if countless fragments of memories flashed through her mind, and finally stopped at the figure of the man who came to visit her with Salia in his arms and entrusted Salia to her.

For a moment, she felt mixed emotions.

"It's you...Mr. Ron..."

"You're back."

Brave Chapter: 177, Past and Present

Led by Aisha, the three of them walked through the ruined streets and came to a clock tower in the corner of the city that had collapsed long ago.

Passing under the barely supported wall, they arrived at a very hidden room. The room was empty except for a magic circle on the floor that was covered with dust and was almost indistinguishable.

"Stand on the magic circle."

Aisha said.

Ron nodded and took the lead.

Aisha followed closely behind him and stood up, but Thalia did not follow. She stared at Ron, frowning and said:

"Sister Aixia, is it really okay to let this guy with unknown origins and inexplicable reasons enter our base? Could he be a sentinel from the Ghostly Empire or something like that?"

"It doesn't matter, right? He's your father after all. He won't attack you no matter what."

Aisha said nonchalantly.

Perhaps because of her age, she gave Ron the impression that she was much calmer than before, with a calm demeanor.

Sally nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

"I see. Sister Aixia, you should have told me earlier... Huh?"

"Okay, hold your hands together, it's time to start the magic."

Aisha said, holding Ron's hand.

Ron reached out and held the dazed Sallya's hand.

Aisha placed one hand on the magic circle, injecting magic power into it. As light enveloped everyone, a suction force emerged from the magic circle, and the three figures instantly disappeared.

When Ron regained his vision, the three figures had arrived at a small windowless hut.

The lighting in the room is basically provided by magic props.

The cabin has two bedrooms, a living room and a bathroom. Although it is not very spacious, it is definitely sufficient for daily living.

In the corner of the room were piled some tattered-looking things and magic crystals.

Aisha and Salia usually live in this place.

"Okay, take a seat... Having said that, based on the principle of respecting the elderly and loving the young, the sofa should be given to me, so the only place I can sit is a small bench. Please don't mind it too much."

Aisha said as she occupied the only sofa in the living room.

Ron didn't care either.

He casually pulled over a bench and sat down, staring at Aisha and asking:

"what happened?"

"Well... I know you're going to ask this question, but it would be a bit long to explain. Could you please describe it in detail?"

"Since I entrusted Salia to you."

"Oh, let's start from that time..."

Aisha stroked her chin and began to organize her words.

At this moment, Salia finally reacted to the explosive information she had just received.

She stared at Ron, her face full of an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

"Why did Sister Aixia say you are my father?"

"...It's a long story."

Ron was in a very complicated mood.

When he entrusted Salia to Aisha, she was just a newborn baby. In the blink of an eye, she had grown into a graceful young woman. The difference was really hard to adapt to.

And more importantly.

Judging from her age, Alyssa should be around seventy years old.

The reason she maintains such a youthful appearance is probably because she was born into the Undead Demon Clan... and before she used time magic, she was only about thirty years old.

In other words.

Salia is more than twice her age.

Grown-up daughter, young father.

Ron couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment on his face.

More importantly, Ron didn't know how to face Sallya.

He had abandoned her to gamble on the possibility of time magic.

At this point, I have no right to call myself her father...

"Okay, you two, stop arguing now."

Aisha finally spoke, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

She turned to look at Ron.

"Listen to me slowly."

"……Um."

……

……

After Ron activated the time magic, his figure disappeared from the current time node.

Based on the traces left after the magic was activated, Rudeus concluded that the time magic must have been successfully activated, but it did not transfer Ron to the past as expected, but to the near future...

Everything was going smoothly until the middle of the magic.

This phenomenon is very similar to what happened to Qixing at that time.

Rudeus decided not to waste Ron's efforts, and from then on he continued to study time magic, spending a lot of time...

During this period, Rudeus also began to teach Aisha magic in his spare time.

Chaos, no chanting, electric shock...

He taught Aisha all the magic he thought was necessary to master.

Although Aisha thought it was unnecessary, Rudeus knew that once the time magic was activated, he would also disappear from this time point. At that time, Aisha would be left alone.

Before that, he wanted to make Aisha as strong as possible.

About a year passed like this.

Rudeus finally couldn't wait any longer.

He told Aisha about his final arrangements, and then he started to perform time magic in the basement in the suburbs.

then……

"Then there was no more."

Aisha murmured.

"My brother never showed up again. It's as if both you and him were wiped out from this world. No one knows where you went."

"In order to find my brother, I took care of Salia while trying to study transfer magic."

"Just when our research was about to yield results, Bihelir started a war... no, now it's the Demonic Empire. The three great magical nations were defeated, and all those precious research materials were burned. Salia and I were lucky to survive the battlefield."

Having said that, Aisha turned her head and looked at Sallya.

It seems to be sighing.

The little girl who was just learning to speak has grown into a graceful young lady.

"After that, the Ghost God Empire unified the northern continent. After a brief period of recuperation, it immediately declared war on the Asura Kingdom and even attempted to cross the Red Dragon Mountains and reach into the conflict zone..."

“…I roughly understand.”

Ron sighed deeply.

This is really... I don't know how to put it.

The future will turn out like this.

"So, what are your plans next?"

Aisha tilted her head and looked at Ron.
