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

"Okay."

"Then I'll wash all the vegetables."

The three of them worked together and quickly prepared the ingredients, and soon the meal was ready.

After preparing the meal in advance, the three people, having nothing else to do, sat in the living room drinking tea.

Then the conversation naturally turned to that person.

Speaking of missing that person...

Hilfi, Loki, and Alice need no further explanation.

And the same goes for Aisha.

three years ago.

When that person left, he said that he would marry Aisha if he came back alive.

For the past three years, Aisha has been looking forward to that day every moment, imagining the scene of her wedding, and even conceiving the form of the wedding herself.

however……

That person never came back.

What was the final outcome of that battle...?

Even if no one says it, everyone knows the truth.

No news is the worst news.

No matter what, three years is too long.

So everyone tacitly agreed not to mention that person's name anymore.

But even so.

In their hearts, there was still this last glimmer of hope, or perhaps it was just wishful thinking.

I desperately hope that person will come back.

……

……

The sun gradually sets in the west.

Ars, Zieg, and Lucy are all back.

Everyone moved together to the dining table.

Lucy brought out a cake that she had prepared especially for Zieg.

Ars asked Zig if he had any girls he liked, and if he was interested, he could help introduce a few.

Lily and Christina pestered Sieg to tell them about his experiences at the Asura Kingdom Academy.

Zieg could only shake his head and refuse Ars's enthusiasm with a wry smile.

Although he is already 15 years old, he has never seemed to have any interest in dating or romance.

Luria continued to cling to Ars as always.

She is already twelve years old.

Twelve-year-old Lulia, like Aisha, has an excellent figure and a very cute face, making people want to love her.

However, whenever Ars talks about his interactions with those girls in the capital, he frowns and pouts, looking very unhappy.

However, she is already twelve years old.

Next year, I will graduate from Sharia Magic University and then go to the Kingdom of Asura to continue my studies.

Then I'll be able to see Yars every day.

Lydia thought this through and looked quite expectant.

……

Perhaps it's because it's been too long since we sat together.

Everyone seemed quite excited, chattering away non-stop.

But I don't know when.

The voices gradually faded away.

His gaze fell on the white-haired woman next to the main seat.

"Huh? Why is everyone looking at me..."

"I'm puzzled," Hilfi asked.

"……Mother."

Lucy came to Silphie's side and gently wiped away her tears.

"what?"

Only then did Hilfi notice.

Before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face.

"Ah... no, that's not it..."

Losing control at a child's birthday celebration or something.

Hilfi panicked immediately.

"Um... I'm sorry, I was just thinking... if he could see this, he would definitely... definitely be very happy... and then I don't know why..."

"I……"

"I just……"

As Hilfi continued speaking...

His voice became choked with emotion.

Then, tears flowed uncontrollably, like a burst dam.

Everyone was at a loss for what to do.

at this time.

Zig made a sound.

"Mom, we haven't forgotten."

"what?"

"Even though three years have passed, everyone still remembers it very clearly! Isn't that right!"

As Zieg said this, he turned to look at the crowd.

Hear these words.

The image of that person appeared in everyone's mind at the same time.

that person.

That man.

That man who was willing to give everything for his family.

That man who, though afraid, would never run away as long as his family was there for him.

The man who would panic at the sound of a child crying.

That man who is often flustered, but never ambiguous when it comes to family matters.

The man who would immediately fly into a rage if he heard someone speaking ill of his family.

The man who often messes things up and then awkwardly asks for help.

That man who was willing to fight to the death for his family.

That man who always had a warm smile.

that……

A man named Rudius Grerat.

That's right.

No one has forgotten his name or his gentle smile.

No matter when, no matter where.

Everyone believes it.

He will definitely come back.

"Dad and Lala will both come back."

"Yes, they will come back."

"Someday."

Everyone was talking in a flurry of words.

Seeing this, Sylphie finally stopped crying.

what……

Rudius.

How I wish you could see this scene too.

How wonderful it is to be surrounded by children like this.

really want to...

Let you experience it too.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that... Sieg, hurry up and make a wish and blow out the candles."

Hilfi wiped away her tears and urged her on.
