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

"Alice, is this alright? Don't we need to say goodbye properly?"

"Kirlen asked with a complicated expression."

"You're so annoying, Kyrie Irvine!"

I sighed and scratched my head.

The scent of Rudius still lingered in his hair.

"That's good. If I were to say goodbye properly, Rudius would definitely stop me."

"I don't think there's any need to leave."

"No, I just want Rudeus to be happy..."

I said this.

Then he and Gilead embarked on their journey.

Rudius.

I hope you will be happy!

Rudius's perspective.

I have finished reading Alice's letter.

Different from my previous life.

In this life, Alice listened to me very well.

I studied reading and writing diligently.

Therefore, unlike in his previous life, he did not leave behind just a few words.

Really are……

I wrote a whole letter.

For some reason, tears welled up in my eyes.

Tears blurred Alice's handwriting.

I held onto Alice's letter like that.

I cried for a long time.

……

……

Alice has grown a lot.

But I never expected her to grow to this level.

For my own happiness, I am willing to choose to leave.

I don't know how to express my guilt towards you.

But at least.

This time, we made a proper agreement.

Alice.

It's wonderful that you can learn to read and write.

……

then.

I stood there and composed myself.

Alice has left.

I roughly know where she went.

However, I won't go to her because of this, since it was Alice's own decision.

Moreover, we have already made an agreement.

They will meet again at the magic university.

And before that.

I need to welcome Silphie and Lokishi into my home first.

This is also what Alice hopes for.

Then.

"What should we do next..."

I thought so.

then.

Start gathering intelligence.

……

The intelligence gathering process took about a month.

The target of the intelligence was the country's second princess.

Ariel Anemoi Asra.

I know her very well.

In order to seize the throne, Ariel hastily launched a coup without proper preparation.

But the end result...

I don't need to say more.

If possible, I think it would be better to keep Sylphie away from her.

However, this possibility is not high.

After all, the reason why Hilfi survived the Great Transfer was because...

A large part of the credit goes to Ariel.

Without considering the cause and effect of past lives.

Ariel did indeed save Sylphie's life and show her appreciation.

It was thanks to Ariel that Sylphie was able to grow further.

Having said that…

As Alsterd also said.

The goal is for Ariel to seize power in the Kingdom of Asura.

The reason given was that doing so would allow the Kingdom of Asura to overcome its difficulties in the distant future.

Although I personally feel that this kind of thing is completely irrelevant...

but.

Even if I don't get involved in this at all.

When Ariel decides to launch a coup, Hilfi probably won't stand idly by.

……

Then, I gathered further intelligence.

Currently, Ariel's faction is supported by Notos, who is led by Pelemon.

Humph……

By all accounts, Pilemeng is my uncle.

Although I have absolutely no liking for it.

In addition, the Dragon God mentioned something else.

In a world without me, Luke and Alice came together.

In this way, Ariel secured Boreas's participation.

The two families joined forces and ultimately succeeded in placing Ariel on the throne.

tsk...

That kid Luke.

It's making me want to kill him more and more.

but.

Now is not the time to talk about this.

In addition, Ariel also enjoys a very high reputation among the people.

It's a pity that the throne of the nobility is not obtained through election; otherwise, given Ariel's reputation, it would be fair to say that she had secured the throne.

Then comes the third point.

The second princess, Ariel.

Two years ago, I set off to study at the Sharia City Magic University in the Kingdom of Lanoa.

The reason is simple.

Because they were frequently targeted for assassination.

As for where this assassination attempt came from...
