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

Generally speaking, the blade's edge is the back of the blade.

The back of the blade is the edge.

Now Alice is pointing the back of the knife at me... but it feels like Alice is going to cut me in two.

"Um, Alice, could you be a little gentler?"

"Rudeus, why have you become so long-winded?"

"..."

I feel that my position as the head of the household has been seriously challenged.

Now is the time to make Alice understand this.

"Then, let's get started."

"it is good!"

The moment I finished speaking.

Alice suddenly assumed a high-level stance and charged towards me.

Judging from that posture...

They probably intend to use the Blade of Light.

The Blade of Light is renowned as an undefendable sword technique.

He rushed out at the speed of light, sword and all.

To be honest, I can't understand the principles behind this swordsmanship.

That being said.

I knew Alice would do that.

Just as I finished speaking.

I unleashed the lightning spell I had prepared long ago.

Lightning strikes are wide-area spells that cannot be accurately aimed, making them somewhat ineffective against single enemies.

However, if you know exactly which direction your opponent will attack from, that's a different story.

Hum hum……

Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite experienced in dealing with Alice.

In my past life, I was hunted down by Alice for decades.

Regarding how to deal with Alice.

I doubt anyone understands this better than me...

……

Just as I was thinking this.

Alice's forward momentum suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, as if it had been anticipated, he jumped to the side.

"boom--"

The lightning strikes scorched the ground, leaving it blackened.

Huh?

Did he... dodge it?

While I was incredulous, I noticed a glimmer of light in Alice's eyes.

I see……

It is the eye of foresight.

I used to fight using my precognitive abilities.

Although the ability to foresee the future is no longer available, with his extensive combat experience, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

However, I have no experience fighting against Alice who has gained the ability to see the future.

In previous lives.

Every time I use this move, Alice has never dodged it.

"Hum..."

Alice gave a faint smile.

After dodging my magic, it paused for a moment, then charged at me again.

Not good...

I used gravity magic to reduce my weight and retreat, while silently setting up my signature spell in front of me.

【mire】

Although the Blade of Light has amazing mobility, it should be able to provide some resistance...

Just as I was pondering this...

The red figure made heavy footsteps, then leaped high into the air and flew towards me like a shooting star.

The gravity magic seemed to have no effect on her at all.

"Lightning strike—"

"too slow!"

A red shadow brushed past.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain shot through my shoulder.

The lightning spell failed to be cast.

When I came to my senses, I realized that my arm had been severed at the shoulder.

So fast……

Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?

There was absolutely no chance of fighting back.

"Next up is the left hand!"

Alice called out to me from behind.

"Wait, wait a minute! I give up!"

"Eh? So fast?"

"……I'm really sorry."

Alice's ability to skillfully use her precognitive abilities is simply too powerful.

If the opponent were the God of Swords or the God of Water, it might be quite a stretch.

But at this distance...

Dealing with a magician like me is a piece of cake.

177. Talks

It was almost afternoon.

I woke up again.

Alice is no longer in bed.

Humph……

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Did the defeated opponent choose to run away?

What a mess.

I pounded my waist a few times, shivering, and got out of bed to move to the window.

Alice is outside the window.

He smiled with an indecent expression, while brandishing his sword in high spirits.

What kind of monster has this stamina...?

Hilfi and Loki are not as strong as me, and they always get exhausted first.

I can even handle two people at the same time with ease.

I even feel like adding one more person would be fine.

but……

Alice is a bit too strong.

If we were to compare Silphie to a passive type and Loki to a technical type, then Alice would be an offensive type.

If there's a next time, I still want to enjoy some sweet whispers in bed after we're done.

After exercising, Alice and I were still feeling exhausted when we talked...

Then they whispered sweet nothings to each other.

I thought so.

anyway.

The room is a complete mess, I'll have to clean it afterwards...

So hard.
