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

It spans three continents.

Reunion with loved ones.

An unexpected encounter with the teacher.

Arrival at my hometown.

then……

They parted ways with Alice and went their separate ways.

I told Sylphie everything that had happened up to this point.

Gradually.

It became just me talking.

Hilfi kept looking at me.

eh?

I reached out and took off her sunglasses.

Then I realized that my eyes were already brimming with tears behind my sunglasses.

"Ah?"

Why did Sylphie cry?

"Rudeus, are you really going to marry me?"

"Hilfi looked at me and said..."

"Wasn't this something we agreed on a long time ago?"

"But... Rudeus has always been adventuring with that young lady..."

"Well..."

"Besides, that was an agreement made a long time ago..."

"I said, pouting."

His gaze wandered around, seemingly fixed on somewhere.

eh?

Could it be that Sylphie doesn't actually want to marry me?

Well……

It is not impossible.

After all, that was indeed an agreement made six years ago.

It's possible that Sylphie didn't actually fall in love with me...

But if that's really the case.

I might cry.

"that……"

I pursed my lips and forced a smile.

"For example, if Silphie doesn't want to marry me... then you can pretend I didn't say anything..."

I think if I looked in the mirror now...

You will find out.

My smile looked worse than my tears.

"Eh?"

Sylphy was stunned for a moment.

Then he sat up in a panic and waved his hands frantically.

"I didn't say that!"

"But Sylphie wasn't hesitant at all just now..."

"no!"

"It's clearly..."

"I was so happy! I thought I was dreaming!"

"I'm extremely anxious," said Hilfi.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Was I mistaken?

But then again.

Even when she's anxious, Sylphie is adorable.

"No, however..."

"what happened?"

"We're only thirteen years old now, isn't it a bit too early to have children?"

"Ah... I'm sorry, I didn't explain it clearly before."

I do indeed intend to marry Silphie.

However, that will have to wait until we return from the maze.

The most important thing now is to go to the labyrinth city to rescue my mother, Janice.

The reason I came to Sharia.

It's only because it only takes four or five days to travel from Sharia to the transfer magic circle.

Furthermore, they also need to obtain a strategy guide for navigating the maze.

"So I'm sorry, I'm just saying this in advance. If we're really going to get married, we'll have to wait until I come back from Labyrinth City."

I said with a slight apology.

Hilfi stared at me blankly.

Start just now.

He just stared at me, then started spacing out.

"Sylphy?"

"Ah! Sorry, I was talking to Rudeus..."

"Just call me Rudy, that's what we always called me when we were kids, isn't it?"

"That's right..."

As Hilfi said this, she began to space out again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Even the dazed and confused Silphie is cute.

But I still want to talk to Sylphie more right now.

After all, I'm probably leaving tomorrow.

"Speaking of which, didn't Rudy recognize me when we were downstairs earlier?"

"Hilfi tilted her head and asked."

"Sylphie is so cute, there's no way you wouldn't recognize her, right?"

"Then why... why pretend you don't know me..."

"I said, pouting."

"You were the princess's attendant back then, weren't you? Won't it be a problem if I suddenly call you by your name?"

"Ah, I see... Rudy has always been so thoughtful..."

"Where."

……

after that.

We talked for a long time.

Time has passed by in the blink of an eye.

Then Hilfi lay on my lap and fell asleep again.

Looking at Hilfi's sleeping face, I quietly fell asleep as well.

107. Flag

Closer to home.

While Hilfi was asleep, I talked with Ariel for a long time.

Specifically, it concerns Notus.

Ariel asked me how I learned this information.

The answer is simple.

Two years ago.

Ariel and her companions were assassinated while moving towards La Noah Magic University.

As for this assassination...

The Notos family received incorrect information.
