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

After years of preparation, Paul's mercenary group finally began its gradual advance into the conflict zone. It was a paradise for mercenaries and a favorite haunt for intelligence brokers.

With financial support from his partner Alsterd, Paul, based in Arles, is determined to seize markets in several regions by utilizing the mobility of the teleportation magic circle.

"That's it..."

Noren wasn't surprised, but he was still somewhat disappointed.

Suddenly, Noren's eyes lit up.

"Dad, I want to go to my brother's place!"

"Rudius?"

"Yes, I want to go see Aisha and my brother!"

Paul nodded slightly in agreement, saying, "Indeed, although it's a bit hot here in the capital, Sharia is located in the north, so it should be quite cool. Going there would be a good idea."

"Yes!" Noren nodded quickly, while another thought was on his mind.

I'll show my novel to my brother; maybe he can offer some suggestions.

"Then it's decided."

……

Paul first wrote a letter asking Rudy if it would be convenient for him to take Noren in for a while.

After receiving a definite answer, they helped Noren pack his luggage and set off for the teleportation magic circle to Sharia.

Bonus Chapter: Noren and Aisha (2)

Although the arrival was somewhat rushed, there was prior notice, so it wasn't entirely unexpected.

Pass through the teleportation magic circle.

When Norren opened his eyes again, a huge white dog appeared in front of him.

The large white dog was crouching on the ground, almost as tall as Noren standing, with its pink tongue lolling out and a striking red pattern on its forehead.

"Whoa!" Noren was startled and almost fell to the ground.

But she quickly remembered that the big dog seemed to be her brother's dog, and its name was Taro... or Leo?

Just then, a small blue head peeked out from the big dog's thick fur.

“Aunt Norren,” Lala said lazily, riding on Leo’s back.

"Don't call me aunt, call me sister!"

Norren put his hands on his hips and said in a condescending tone.

"Yes, yes, Sister Norlen."

Lala sighed helplessly and sat up a little straighter, allowing Noren to finally see the whole picture.

As Rudeus's daughter, Lala, now seven years old, is growing up and, due to her mature demeanor, is old enough to go out on her own. Of course, Leo still accompanies her in principle.

Seven years old is already considered a fairly old child.

Noren recalled that when he was seven years old, he would only cling to his father and could not live without him.

Lala, on the other hand, is already able to go out on her own.

It is said that it came in very handy in a very dangerous battle that my brother participated in a year ago.

That's really quite impressive.

However, no matter what, I am an elder, so I should show plenty of manners.

"Is Lala here to pick me up?" Noren asked.

"Yes, Daddy said it's about time, so he asked me to pick up Sister Norren," Lala said obediently.

"Lala is so good."

As Noren spoke, his gaze flickered uncertainly toward Leo's broad, furry back, his thoughts self-evident.

“It’s quite a distance to get home from here, Noren, why don’t you come up with us?” Lala thoughtfully moved forward, making room for Leo’s back.

"Is it really possible?"

"Ah."

"But if it's just the two of us, won't Leo feel a lot of pressure?"

"No problem, don't let Leo's cute appearance fool you, it's actually very strong."

"Then I will..."

Noren swallowed hard and carefully climbed onto Leo's back.

"Sister Norren, hold onto my waist, Leo runs very fast."

"How fast can it be... woohoo!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Leo suddenly darted away like a gust of wind.

Caught off guard, Noren nearly fell off Lala's back. Terrified, she clung to Lala tightly, her face pale, refusing to let go.

Where she couldn't see, Lala quietly made a "V" sign.

The prank was a huge success.

……

The journey from the teleportation magic circle to Rudeus's residence would normally take nearly half an hour on foot, but Leo moved at his speed and it only took him three minutes.

After getting off Leo's back, Noren immediately lay on the ground and started retching.

"Lala, you're playing pranks again!"

Lucy ran out of the yard holding a windmill, hands on her hips, cheeks puffed out, and huffed angrily.

"I'm going to tell Aunt Lan!"

"It was just a little joke."

Lala stuck out her tongue.

Before Noren could react, he had already climbed onto Leo's back and disappeared in a flash.

"Oh dear, Lala is such a worry."

Norren was panting when a familiar, helpless laugh came from in front of him.

She looked up.

The figure that appeared before him was the one he had always longed for.

"elder brother!"

"Noren, it's been a long time."

Rudius smiled and walked up to Noren, placing his hand on Noren's forehead.

After using the healing magic, Norren felt the dizziness disappear instantly and then stood up.

"Noren has grown quite a bit taller, hmm... he's developing very well too, looks like he's not a picky eater," Rudeus said with satisfaction.

Noren's pretty face flushed slightly.

“I’ve read Father’s letter. He’s planning to stay here for a while, isn’t he?” Rudius said.

"Hmm, will it bother my brother?"

"Don't worry, there are still empty rooms at home, and Aisha misses you a lot. This trip is a good opportunity for you two to catch up."

"Ok."

Looking at the well-behaved and sensible Noren, Rudeus suddenly reached out and ruffled Noren's golden hair.

"elder brother?"

"Ah, sorry, I just thought Norren was really cute, and I just unconsciously..."

"Brother, please don't have any strange thoughts about me."

"Was that a joke?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

……

Rudius’s family members stayed at home, seemingly because they knew Norren was coming.

Aisha was no exception.

"Sister Norlen!"

Aisha ran down the stairs from the second floor and shouted as she threw herself into Noren's arms.

"Aisha?"

"Sister Norlen, I miss you so much!"

"Yes, I missed you too, so that's why I came to see you."

Norren smiled and hugged Aisha.

"Aisha, don't be so rough, be careful of your health," Rudy said helplessly.

"Okay, okay, brother, you're so long-winded." Aisha 3 stuck out her tongue.

……

Rudius had already arranged the room for them.

After settling in, Noren changed into some casual clothes, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom——"

When Norren pushed open the door, he found a girl with short red hair and a cute, blank expression standing outside.

It also has a pair of white wings on its back; it's practically an angel.
