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

Thanks……

Thank you for always being by my side.

"..."

Aisha is asleep.

I looked at Aisha's sleeping face, my gaze gradually calming down.

I do not know how long it has been.

I got out of bed and tiptoed out of the bedroom.

Pass through the stairs and the living room.

I pushed open the basement door.

……

……

The blue slime is sitting in a chair.

I sat in my usual chair.

"Yo."

I raised my hand and waved to it.

"I am back."

"Hmm? So you've already seen through it..."

Blue slime...

To be precise, it is Hades, the god of the underworld.

It wriggled its body, its tone somewhat puzzled.

After thinking about it for a while.

It arrives at the answer.

"I see. You realized it the moment you saw Aisha."

"Ah."

“It’s incredible. In my opinion, this should be the scene you wanted most.”

The scene before my eyes changed instantly.

Bita and I went back to the bedroom together.

Aisha was fast asleep in bed.

"..."

I am speechless.

Yes.

That's right.

In my heart, the person who feels the greatest remorse is none other than myself.

It was Aisha.

Aisha has always been by my side; she has never left me.

Whether I'm successful or down on my luck.

Whether I am kind or evil.

Whether I'm gentle or harsh.

Aisha was willing to accept me from beginning to end.

Even though I mess around with women outside, come home drunk every day, and often lose my temper, I still can't change my mind.

Aisha also takes good care of me.

Help me take off my clothes and wipe off the stains.

She saw my worst side every day, yet she never left.

"..."

why?

Why is Aisha so nice to me?

Now I finally know the answer.

The answer is simple: because Aisha genuinely likes me.

but.

I felt guilty only after losing Aisha, despite being cared for by her.

That's how people are.

You only regret it when you lose it.

"Thank you."

I said suddenly.

It wasn't directed at Aisha, but at Bita, who was standing to the side.

"Thank you for letting me see this."

"Yeah."

Bita nonchalantly twisted his tentacles.

"Perhaps it's because you are also a divine child, my abilities seem to have little effect on you, and you can immediately detect any sense of incongruity."

"yes……"

in fact.

maybe.

It's fine if things continue like this.

Even if it's just Aisha by my side, that's enough happiness for me.

If I hadn't noticed.

But no.

There are still people waiting for me to go back.

"It's time to wake up from the dream..."

I said this.

The world before my eyes is shattered.

I returned to that small room and sat facing Bita.

356. When I Wake Up

"ended."

"finished?"

"That was the final illusion."

"I said, twisting my body."

"As it turns out, whether you like it or not, no matter how realistic the illusion is, as long as you can sense the incongruity, you can immediately wake up."

"...That's probably because of my abilities."

The God who can read minds.

I got this ability from Janice.

This is a capability that extends to the level of the soul.

My abilities are similar to those of Bita, which is why I was able to regain my senses so easily.

But being clear-headed is one thing.

Unable to break free from the dream by their own strength.

In other words.

Whether I can leave here or not depends entirely on Bita's decision.

I must leave.

Because there are still people waiting for me to go back.

"Don't stare at me like that. I didn't plan to leave you here forever."

"Bita said slowly."

"Now that you've won the duel, I'll naturally let you go back, and Rijrud will help you save him. Besides, I've already done what God and Man asked me to do, so there's no reason for me to keep you here any longer."

"What exactly did the god tell you?"

I couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"It's just to keep you occupied."

"what?"

"That's it."

strangeness.

Shouldn't gods and men do everything in their power to kill me?
