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

but……

I must do it now.

immediately!

The answer came from her.

109. Departure

"Luke, that's a bit much."

The princess frowned slightly.

Of course I know.

This is a very serious problem.

To compare one's lord to one's lover.

This kind of problem.

Even from my perspective, it's quite despicable.

But it doesn't matter.

I must get an answer.

"Your Highness, please forgive my overstepping."

I knelt down on one knee and lowered my head.

"I just think that what Hilfi did was really inappropriate. She seems to have forgotten her responsibilities. I was just reminding her."

I said this.

Then she looked up at Sylphie.

He stared intently at her.

"Silphie, in your eyes, who is more important, the princess or Rudeus?"

Hilfi pursed her lips slightly.

"I……"

She was about to give the answer.

"Alright! That's enough!"

The princess suddenly spoke up.

"My Lady Princess..."

"Luke, don't take things too one-sidedly."

The princess pondered for a moment before speaking.

"This decision was made by Sylphie herself and had nothing to do with Rudius."

"Having said that."

"Rudius's current stance leans towards neutrality."

"In other words, he is a valuable asset that is worth trying to acquire."

"Anyway, there's no danger in the magic city, so it won't be a problem to let Sylphie leave for a while."

Therefore, I believe the appropriate course of action now is—

“Under the guise of lending, Silphie will be temporarily lent to Rudeus.”

"On the contrary."

"Rudius owes us a favor."

The princess analyzed the situation very clearly in just a few words.

That being said.

But I immediately thought of the voice in my dream.

That was definitely some kind of revelation.

It was God's guidance that led me.

just now.

I should stop Sylphie from leaving.

……

but.

I cannot veto Her Highness's decision.

After all.

I am just a guard.

“Hilufi, I grant your request.”

The princess said with a smile.

"I command you to help Rudeus travel to the continent of Becarit, rescue her mother, and return immediately."

"Yes! Thank you, Your Highness!"

Hilfi happily agreed.

And my heart.

But it sank to the bottom of the valley.

……

Rudius's perspective.

all in all.

I successfully obtained Animas's "Exploration of the Transferred Labyrinth".

This book contains detailed information about the transfer maze.

With this book...

The difficulty of navigating the transfer maze has decreased dramatically.

"Alright, let's go then."

I shouldered my luggage.

ready to go.

then.

at this time.

An unexpected figure appeared at the gate.

Medium-length white hair.

A slender and delicate figure.

And there were large sunglasses on his face.

That is……

"Sylphy?"

I couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

Then, joy arises.

That's it.

Hilfi came to see me off.

Because we will be separated for more than a year.

So we should say goodbye properly.

Ultimately, the idea of ​​a flag is just me talking to myself.

In this world, saying goodbye properly before leaving is the right thing to do.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I didn't expect that Hilfi still has feelings for me.

With that thought in mind, I stepped forward.

Then I discovered...

Hilufi carried a bulging bag on her back.

what.

Which one is it, right?

Farewell gift.

Let me think, could it be a local specialty food from around here?

Are you planning to let me take it with me to eat on the way?

That's wonderful, Silphie.

So I smiled and walked forward.

"Silphie, is that a gift for me?"

"Huh? No, these are necessities for the journey."
