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

"Huh? Why do you ask?"

"Although this is just my personal guess, I think Aisha likes you quite a bit, so if you ask her to take you back, she definitely won't refuse."

Won't you refuse...?

Yes.

makes sense.

But even so.

"I would never say such a thing."

"Oh?"

"As long as Aisha chooses to live the way she likes, that's fine."

"Is this so..."

Sarah nodded upon hearing this.

"In short, if you want to take Aisha away, I won't object."

"Don't you object? Aisha is clearly a key player on your team."

"Even if Aisha isn't with us, we won't disband. Well, we might slow things down for a while."

Sarah and I chatted like that, making small talk.

After a while.

It's almost time for the shift change.

Sarah said goodbye to me and then got up to leave.

then.

Another person sat down in the opposite direction from where Sarah had just been sitting.

As for who it is, it goes without saying.

"Alice, did I wake you up?"

"Because you two seem to be having a great time chatting."

Alice said this, glaring at me with somewhat fierce eyes.

"Rudius, did you know her before?"

"Huh? There isn't one..."

"But I feel that Rudius seems very familiar with the feeling of talking to her..."

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

As expected of Alice.

That's incredibly perceptive.

That being said, I can't explain all the reasons.

So I chose to hug Alice and then gag her.

"Woo?"

"Alice."

"W-What are you doing?!"

"I like you!"

"what?"

I love you! Please marry me!

"...Rudeus, have you lost your mind?"

Alice asked, her face full of confusion.

"Sorry, I just suddenly remembered that I don't think I've ever proposed to Alice."

"Humph……"

Alice gave a soft hum.

Then close your eyes.

"Alice?"

"What's wrong? Are you still kissing?"

"Oh oh oh..."

So I took a deep breath.

He adopted a solemn attitude and cupped Alice's cheeks.

From top to bottom, preparing to kiss.

Just at this time.

I noticed eyes shooting at me from the side.

"what……"

As I turned my head to look over there.

Aisha stuck out her tongue and emerged from the bushes.

"We've been found out, hehe..."

"Aisha".

I felt somewhat helpless.

"Oh, I didn't mean to peek. I just came to change shifts and happened to see my brother and Alice kissing. That's all."

Aisha swayed back and forth as she spoke.

Trying to get by with cuteness.

But I still flicked my finger at her head.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

"I didn't use any force at all."

I yawned; I was feeling a bit sleepy.

"Well then, I'm going to sleep."

"I wish you sweet dreams, brother, and I hope you dream of being intimate with Aisha."

"If that happens, Paul will rush out and break his leg, turning it into a nightmare."

"It was clearly a dream..."

Aisha sighed helplessly.

After two years apart, I've actually learned to tease my brother like this.

Well, I guess this is part of growing up.

"Well then, the rest of the time is up to you."

"Ah."

"Sleep soundly, brother. Aisha will protect you!"

"Thank you very much."

I smiled slightly.

Then he lay down on the spot and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

……

……

Since then.

About two or three days later.

We traversed long open spaces between towns.

Some also crossed the battlefield from the very center.

Although it was a bit dangerous, thankfully nothing unexpected happened.

then.

We discovered a single rock that was clearly visible even from a distance, resembling a massive boulder.

Smoke rose slowly from the foot of the mountain.

"We've arrived..."

Alice murmured to herself.

"what."

We've finally arrived at our destination.

Hammapolga.

……

Next, we need to figure out how to complete Sarah and the others' mission to deliver the message.

There's no need for Alice and me to go into the city.

After all, our destination was actually outside the city.

You should be able to find it with just a quick search here.

But the mission of delivering the message required someone to go into the city.

It's wartime now, and once we enter the city, we might not be able to leave for a while.
