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

This guy really hasn't changed at all, no matter how much time has passed.

When I thought so.

Suddenly, Hilfi bowed deeply to Alice.

"Thank you, Miss Alice! Thank you for protecting Rudy!"

"If it weren't for you, Rudy might have been killed by me!"

"Wait, wait a minute! The enemy is clearly coming for me..."

"Even so, it was I who dragged Rudy down."

No matter what I say.

Hilfi thanked Alice sincerely.

"Hmph! After all, that's why I've been cultivating!"

Alice gave a soft hum.

However, she seemed to be quite pleased with it.

At this time.

Gilead came over

In the battle just now.

She and Alice attacked together.

Alice is responsible for resisting the sword energy that is stripping away the sword realm.

Kyrie Irvine was responsible for cutting off Izuru's hand.

However, Alice was unable to completely block the attack. The moment Kyrie Irvine severed Isorti's hand, Reda also severed Kyrie Irvine's hand.

That being said.

I was quite surprised that Alice was able to briefly withstand the sword energy that separated the sword realm.

Even the Sword Queen Alice from her previous life shouldn't have been able to do that.

"Rudy, what are you planning to do?"

"what?"

How do you plan to accept Alice?

Ha, so it's based on acceptance as a prerequisite...?

That makes sense, though.

think carefully.

In my past life, I rejected Alice without hesitation.

That must have truly broken Alice's heart.

"I will make sure that Alice, Silphie, and Loki can get along peacefully, no matter what."

"Luo Qixi... I remember that name is your teacher?"

"That's right."

"...It seems that you and Paul do have some similarities."

"..."

Although Kyrie Irvine's tone sounded like he was praising me.

But I always felt like I was being scolded.

"In short, let's go home first."

I held onto Sylphie with my left hand.

He grabbed Alice with his right hand.

"I really have a lot to say right now, but this isn't the right place. I'll talk about it when I get home."

"Um……"

Hilfi nodded gently.

She must be feeling very bad right now.

That's what it says.

Actually, I feel very heavy-hearted, but now is the time for me to shoulder the responsibility.

If you're feeling sad and disappointed, wait until you get back to talk about it.

"Gilead, do me a favor and bring back that golden-haired princess over there, and also Notos lying on the ground outside the forest."

"no problem."

Gilead carried the unconscious Ariel on his back.

Our group headed towards home.

……

soon.

We're home.

"Has Rudius already bought the house?!"

Alice said, somewhat shocked.

"Well, it's a house we're preparing for our wedding."

"marry?"

"We'll talk about that later..."

I said this, and then pushed open the door.

"Teacher Luo Qixi, let's go back..."

The words have not yet fallen.

I saw Luo Qixi's petite body collapse helplessly on the living room floor.

The area around the heart was stained red with blood.

My voice stopped abruptly.

172. The Curtain Falls

Loki had a deep sword wound near her heart.

A large amount of blood gushed from the heart.

The ground was covered with dried blood.

This also means that the attack happened a long time ago.

In other words.

Luo Qixi...

died?

My fingertips started to get cold.

A chill gradually spread throughout my body.

Who is it...

Just as I was thinking this.

Luo Qixi suddenly sat up from the ground.

She turned to look at me, then let out a long sigh.

"Rudy, you're finally back..."

"Eh?"

I was stunned.

Luo Qixi sat up?

The one near the heart... that's a sword wound, right?

Judging from the size of the wound, the entire heart should have been pierced through.

but why……

"Be careful, Rudy."

Luo Qixi said warily.

"After you left, a guy dressed in strange clothes suddenly appeared and attacked me."

"Well!"

Alice, Kyrie Irwin, and Sylphie all became alert.

I rushed forward.

He pulled Luo Qixi into his arms.

"Rudy?"

"It's good that you're alive... Luo Qixi... It's good that you're alive..."

……

The enemy did not reappear.

after that.
