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

"Rudy, this child looks a bit like Hilfi."

"...She's Silphie, isn't she?"

"This kind of joke is not funny. Although Hilfi is also a long-eared tribe, her hair is green."

"Various things have happened..."

"..."

"It really is Sylphie?"

I repeated myself.

Paul looked up at Hilfi in astonishment.

"Hilfi? Hilfiette?"

"Ah, I'm here!"

Hilfi was like a student who was daydreaming in class and got called on by the teacher.

"It's really you..."

Paul looked like he'd seen a ghost.

"That just goes to show how fast kids grow up..."

That makes sense.

However, Hilfi's condition cannot be described as simply growing fast.

"Paul, I need to ask you something later."

Alina Lijie said.

"Huh? Hmm, let's talk about it later."

Paul casually replied.

Yale yale...

It seems that Alina Lige has already discovered it.

However, recognizing each other under these circumstances is somewhat awkward...

Let’s go back and talk about it.

"By the way, was Father buying something just now?"

"Well, I just came across a guy who looked alright, so I bought him on a whim."

As Paul spoke, he unwrapped the oil paper covering the item.

Something very familiar came into view.

This is a sword.

It is neither as short as a dagger nor as long as a longsword.

It is double-edged and the blade is slightly curved.

It also comes with hand guards to cover your hands.

A hole was cut in the center of the blade to prevent cuts from sticking to the sword.

too familiar.

I used this sword for a long time in my past life; its name was Paul's Sword...

Weird.

Actually, I was just too lazy to think of a name.

Since it was Paul's weapon during his lifetime, let's just call it the Paul Sword.

"Listen to me, Rudy, this thing may look shabby and can't even cut meat jerky, but you've heard of it, right?"

"Are you referring to... 'The Legend of Percius'?"

"That's right!"

Paul's eyebrows shot up with excitement.

In the book "The Legend of Percius", there is a warrior whose weapon has special effects.

It can't even cut through dried meat, yet it can cut steel in half.

This refers to the "Armor Break" ability, which makes the blade sharper the harder the opponent is.

Paul just used that point to lock onto the sword.

"Maybe this sword really does have that ability!"

Paul said with great interest.

There should be limits to wild ideas.

Alina Lijie gave a brief evaluation.

Although she is very wealthy, she opposes spending money recklessly.

I'm somewhat dissatisfied with Paul's gambling-like behavior.

Fortunately, it didn't cost much.

"That's enough... Janice hasn't been rescued yet. Let's calm things down a bit at a time like this."

Alina Lige said irritably.

"Ah, um..."

Paul's face darkened when Janice was mentioned.

Then he looked at me with a guilty expression.

"Um... I'm sorry Rudy, I haven't been able to rescue your mother yet. I'm really useless."

"Don't worry, Father."

I smiled and stepped forward to shake Paul's hand.

"That's why I came here."

125. Their respective experiences

After catching up briefly...

Paul led us to the settlement.

It was called a base, but it was actually a hotel located in a corner of town.

The hostel itself is a building constructed of mud and stone.

By the standards of the Demon Continent, it's roughly the level of service for B-rank adventurers, neither good nor bad.

"By the way, Father, have you started tackling the maze yet?"

As we were about to enter the hotel, I asked.

"Ah, well... it's more difficult than I imagined."

Paul scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.

Although he listened to my advice and made what he thought were complete preparations before setting off to come here.

But navigating the maze proved more difficult than anticipated.

It seems the progress of the strategy isn't ideal.

"Is everyone alright?"

I asked.

"Hmm...for the time being..."

Paul's words were somewhat hesitant.

tentatively……

What means?

A sense of unease rose in my heart.

Has someone been in trouble?

Luo Qixi...

Could it be that Luo Qixi has fallen into a teleportation trap again?

That would be a very bad situation.

No, it's more than that.

This is already thinking in a positive direction.

Because Keith was not involved.

This team's level has probably declined even further compared to their previous life.

Moreover, although Keith does not participate in direct combat, he is indispensable in terms of logistics.

Taking that into account.

Casualties are inevitable.

Has anyone died?

Tarhand?

Or is it the pair of sisters next to Paul?

Or...

I dared not think any further.
