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

I also want to experience what is called "ordinary happiness".

Once you become a teacher, you should also have the opportunity to get married.

Marry the man you love, live together, and spend passionate nights together.

It's a little embarrassing to talk about.

Even though I have this childlike body, I still have desires.

I once witnessed Paul and his wife, as well as Alina Lizzie, and I was overwhelmed with emotion, but I managed to soothe myself and resolve the situation.

However, if she could marry a man she liked.

Then you shouldn't have to work so hard yourself.

then.

I thought of Rudy again.

That child...

No, he's become quite masculine now.

He's been hanging around me a lot lately.

At first, I mistakenly thought he had feelings for me, but his fiancée was right there beside him, so it shouldn't be like that.

That was probably just out of respect for the teacher.

That being said.

I was still taken aback when Rudius said he wanted to go home with me.

If it weren't for Sylphie, I might have attacked him.

what……

What a terrible teacher.

……

then.

By the time I came to my senses, the Gluttony Demon had already passed through the earth magic wall and was standing in front of me.

I flailed my wand wildly, making a complete fool of myself, only to be knocked away by the Gluttonous Demon.

The gluttonous demon's hideous face was already close at hand.

I didn't feel it at all when I was working with Rudius before.

It turns out that the Gluttony Demon is such a terrifying monster.

"I don't want to die! Someone... someone please save me...!"

Will I be devoured alive by monsters like this?

No, I don't want that.

"Who can help me……"

Seeing the approaching monster, I squeezed my eyes shut.

In the end, I was neither able to become a teacher nor able to marry the person I loved.

He will never see his father and mother again.

……

However long I waited.

That final moment never came.

I opened my eyes with trepidation, only to find a scene before me that was beyond my imagination.

It was a frozen world.

All the gluttonous demons instantly turned into pure white ice sculptures.

The dead can no longer die.

Its power is completely different from my frost nova, which can only freeze the surface.

I'm afraid all the monsters are dead by now.

A long-lost sound came from between the ice sculptures.

“Ah… That’s great…”

A boy walked along the gaps between the ice sculptures.

The other person had soft hair and a gentle appearance.

He was tall and slender, dressed in a long robe—clearly a magician, yet his physique appeared quite robust.

It's Rudyus.

I was saved.

The moment I realized this, my whole body relaxed.

But it quickly tensed up again.

Because Rudy hugged me very tightly.

His arms were warm, strong, and felt reliable.

A scent tinged with sweat, yet evoking a sense of nostalgia, wafted over.

"Rudy..."

My heart started racing.

I could also hear the thumping sound coming from my chest.

Blood rushed to my head, and I could feel my cheeks gradually getting hot.

This is a scenario I've imagined countless times.

She was trapped in a maze and was rescued by a handsome and dashing man.

This is my ideal man.

but……

"I'm sorry, Luo Qixi."

A captivating smile spread across Rudy's lips.

"After thinking about it for a long time, I think it's better to be more direct."

direct?

What do you mean by "directly"?

"Teacher Luo Qixi, do you still remember the promise we made ten years ago?"

"Ten...ten years ago?"

“I said I wanted to make Ms. Luo Qixi my wife, but Ms. Luo Qixi told me to say it again in ten years.”

"Eh?"

You actually still remember something like that...

But then again.

It has indeed been exactly ten years now.

"I've always liked Luo Qixi."

Rudius said this.

My heart was pounding faster and faster, and I stared at his face, speechless.

"So, could you please invite Luo Qixi to my wedding?"

"what……"

I calmed down a bit.

Knew it.

I'm thinking about such unrealistic things.

Rudy already has a fiancée...

……

Just as I was thinking that...

Rudy took a necklace from his pocket and presented it to me with both hands.

"As a wife."

★Luo Qixi's Perspective★

I was stunned for a long time.

Then I realized that Rudius was proposing to me.

Eh?

This……

Is it really a marriage proposal?

Let me think about it calmly. Maybe I've misunderstood something?

……
