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

I originally thought Noren was just curious.

Unexpectedly, he remembered everything in great detail and even wrote it into a novel.

“But what are you planning to do by writing this?” Rachel Rudd asked, puzzled.

He didn't feel that his experiences had any value worth recording.

Ultimately, it was just a story of a sinner who made a terrible mistake in the war, and who was struggling in vain to try to make amends for something.

Noren did not answer the question immediately.

Instead, he blinked and looked at Rachel Rudd.

“Mr. Rachel Rudd, you have been all alone all these years. Don’t you feel lonely?”

"Lonely?"

Rachel Rudd paused for a moment.

He looked into Noren's eyes, then looked up at the sky.

Are you lonely...?

If you really want to say there isn't any, how could that be?

Rachel Rudd reflected on his past experiences.

From the moment he pledged allegiance to Laplace, he went through far too much and ultimately lost everything.

Countless nights.

He thought of his wife and son, his people, and his comrades-in-arms.

Everyone used to live happily together.

But it was precisely because of his wrong decision that everything led to destruction.

During that time, he felt regret and loneliness, but even more so, he felt hatred for Laplace.

Later, Laplace died.

When that regret and loneliness had nowhere to go, he realized that the Speludians' infamy had spread all over the world.

then.

Rachel Rudd embarked on a new journey.

But was the purpose of that journey truly to restore the reputation of the Speludians, or was it simply to distract himself from his regret and loneliness?

By now, Rachel Rudd can't remember anymore.

but no matter……

Now, Rachel Rudd has completely let go of the past.

If you want to ask why...

The reputation of the Speludians has been salvaged, and the surviving members of the tribe have been found.

Moreover, he now had someone he could unconditionally trust—Rudeus.

"Noren."

With that in mind, Rajirud spoke up.

"I learned one thing from my past experiences."

People never learn to cherish what they have until they lose it, and then they regret it.

"And the greatest happiness in the world is to have lost something and then gained it back."

"Being surrounded by such happiness, one will have no regrets in life."

"So right now, I am... incredibly happy."

After finishing speaking, Rachel Rudd smiled and looked at Noren.

But he was stunned.

Noren's tears welled up and dripped down her cheeks without her noticing.

"Mr. Rachel Rudd..."

Bonus Chapter: Noren and Aisha (9)

"Noren?"

The usually composed Ridge Rudd was now somewhat flustered.

He considered himself to be quite considerate, and that his centuries of experience had not been in vain; he understood all about human relationships and social customs.

But he couldn't understand why Norren was crying.

Before he could react, Noren had already thrown himself into his arms.

“Mr. Rachel Rudd, I think I understand…”

"Understand what?"

Rachel Rudd was puzzled.

in fact.

Looking at Rachel Rudd's expression just now, Norren knew how happy Rachel Rudd was at that moment.

That's the expression on someone who can no longer find happiness, because they are already completely surrounded by it.

That's the expression only someone completely enveloped in happiness can have.

That's right.

Just like...a brother.

Sometimes Norren would see a similar expression on Rudius's face.

At that time, Norren did not understand what that expression meant, and even when he asked his brother, his brother did not answer.

But now she understands, she understands everything.

A person who can show such an expression is definitely the happiest person in the world.

Noren stopped crying, and then a question arose in his mind.

Rachel Rudd is so happy now.

Do I really deserve to be by his side?

He could neither fill Ragnar Rudd's loneliness nor was he clumsy enough to be of much help to him.

not to mention……

If I were to speak rashly, it might make Ridge Rudd think I'm some kind of weirdo.

Thinking about this, Noren was at a loss for words.

"Noren, what's wrong?"

Rachel Rudd looked at Noren with a puzzled expression.

"No, it's nothing."

Noren quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and pulled himself together.

This is probably one of her few good qualities.

Because she was often discouraged by Aisha's talent, she gradually learned to pick herself up quickly after each setback.

She looked up at Mr. Ridge Rudd and said earnestly, "Um, Mr. Ridge Rudd, I'd like to ask you a favor!"

“What is it? Just say it,” Rachel Rudd said without hesitation.

“Right now, my novel has reached the point where Mr. Ragnarok and his brother are navigating the maze to rescue their mother, but I haven’t heard Mr. Ragnarok talk about what happened after that in detail, so I can’t continue writing it.”

“Mr. Rachel Rudd, could you continue telling me the story after that?”

Ridley Luther smiled and said, "Well, of course, no problem..."

"In return, I will do all sorts of things for Mr. Ridge Rudd. Just tell me what you need to do if it's in my way!"

"It doesn't need to be so complicated..."

"Mr. Rachel Rudd!"

Rachel Rudd was about to casually decline, but Noren suddenly raised his voice, interrupting him.

He glanced down at Noren and found the latter staring at him with a very serious look.

This look...

For some reason, this reminded Rijerluth of the time he met Rudeus in the Demon Continent.

Rudius had that same look in his eyes back then.

In a daze, a figure appeared before Rajirud's eyes.

That was the figure of the girl who had saved his life during the Battle of Laplace.

That girl also had a similar appearance and height to Norren...

Although it seemed like a disguise, it stirred a ripple in Rachel Rudd's heart.

“I understand, then it’s a deal,” said Rachel Rudd.

"Great!"

Upon hearing Rijkaard's words, Noren jumped up excitedly.

Seeing her excited expression, Rijkaard couldn't help but smile.
