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

Move to the end of the maze.

It was a spacious stone room.

The layout is square, with a magic circle near each wall that does not face the entrance.

There are three magic circles in total.

In our past lives, we put in a lot of effort here.

But I know very well.

All three magic circles are fake.

Two of them are random teleportation magic circles.

The last one is the lair of the Gluttonous Demon.

The correct answer is the ground.

I found that location based on my memories from my past life.

then.

Aim there and use rock cannonballs.

"boom--"

A hole was made in the ground.

Paul and the others went forward and moved aside the surrounding rubble to confirm that this was indeed the place.

So I used rock cannonballs continuously to widen the opening.

It eventually became a square entrance/exit.

There is a staircase inside that leads down.

We went down the stairs.

At the end of the stairs, a teleportation magic circle appeared.

A two-way transfer magic circle.

The magic circle was blood-red, and filled with an ominous aura.

The moment I saw this magic circle, my breath caught in my throat.

This means that this journey through the maze...

It's coming to an end.

143. Expedition Plan

This journey through the maze.

It's coming to an end.

Everyone is aware of this.

"Right here..."

Paul muttered to himself.

His breathing was somewhat heavy.

"Father, calm down."

"……Feel sorry."

Paul sat down against the wall, placed the two swords in front of him, and began to close his eyes in deep thought.

Was he trying to calm himself down this way?

I walked up to Paul.

"Rudy."

"what happened?"

"If I lose my temper, just knock me out."

"……I see."

Paul seems to have a good sense of self-awareness.

His eyes were gleaming.

He seemed to be feeling uneasy.

But I don't think there's a problem.

Paul is stronger now than he was in his previous life.

I've also acquired the Paul Sword, which can effectively damage the Hydra.

and.

And there's also Rachel Rudd.

Lokishi, and me and Sylphie, who can cast magic without chanting.

With this lineup, there's no reason for them to lose.

I have already briefed Paul and the others on a lot of information about the final boss, the Hydra.

The green scales are immune to magic.

It can regenerate rapidly.

It possesses immense strength and speed.

All of this is already very clear.

"Everyone, rest where you are and check your equipment."

"learn."

Everyone sat down on the spot, took off their equipment, and began the inspection.

Hilfi also sensed the heavy atmosphere.

"Rudy, you must protect yourself no matter what."

"Ah."

"I'm really looking forward to the wedding!"

"It will definitely be a grand event."

I feel like I've set quite a few goals.

No.

Here is the reality.

There are none of those old-fashioned things.

At this time.

Paul walked over.

"Sorry, Rudy."

"Why do you say that suddenly?"

"We're about to get married, but I need to rely on your help..."

"You really are terrible, aren't you?"

"what……"

"So, relatively speaking, I need to ask my father for a favor."

"Rudy would actually ask me for help? That's intriguing. Tell me about it."

"After we rescue Mother, please ask Father to persuade her to attend my wedding with Silphie and Loki."

"Um...eh?"

Paul was stunned for a moment.

Then, she turned her head and glanced at Loki, who was organizing her equipment.

His face showed a very complicated expression.

"Rudy, actually, Loki is already over forty years old, you know?"

"Does your father think they are not a good match?"

"Do not……"

Paul gave me a deep look.

Then, he smiled.

"Then it's a deal!"

"Ah."

"Once we successfully rescue Janice, I will persuade her to attend the wedding."

"Thank you very much."

Because Janice was a follower of the Church of Milis.

It is indeed a bit difficult to get a mother who believes in monogamy to offer her blessings.

but no matter.

I still have hope.

I will receive my parents' blessings at my wedding.
