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

After Rudius returned home, he did not go looking for Orstide.

The excuse that something suddenly happened and I had to come back was just that—an excuse.

He just wanted to give Norman and Rijkaard a chance to be alone.

"Master, please have some tea."

Icarus came up with a cup of freshly brewed tea.

During battle, it was equipped by Rudeus in the form of a magical armor.

In her daily life, she transforms into a fully automated doll body and serves as a maid in Rudeus's household.

In the truest sense, one must be able to grace a formal occasion and be equally at home in the kitchen.

"Thank you."

Rudius nodded slightly.

Just then, a series of "woof woof" sounds came from outside the door.

Rudius sat up slightly.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock on the door.

Icarus was about to open the door when Rudius quickly stood up and said, "I'll do it, Icarus, you go wash the dishes first."

"Yes, Master." Icarus bowed slightly and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

Rudius subconsciously straightened his collar before opening the door.

A little girl with blue hair appeared outside the door.

She had blue braids, wore a slightly oversized magic hat, and had a somewhat languid look in her eyes.

as well as……

Her facial features are almost identical to those of Rudeus's beloved wife, Locci.

"Lala, welcome home!" Rudeus opened his arms, ready to receive a warm hug.

"..."

Lala glanced at him.

Then she silently walked past him and went into her house.

Rudeus: ...

I feel so hurt that my daughter ignored me.

Rudius felt as if he had been dealt a thousand blows, and his mood plummeted when he finally saw his daughter again after so long.

Just as Rudius was feeling lost.

A petite, slightly frail body pressed against her from behind.

Rudius was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously turned around to look.

But then he saw Lala hugging him with a grin, while holding up a sign that she had pulled out from somewhere.

The sign had five characters written on it.

"The prank was a huge success."

Lala's lips curled into a slight upward curve.

"Oh dear, this kind of prank is bad for Dad's heart..."

In any case, Rudius finally breathed a sigh of relief.

One year ago, after the Tian Continent battle ended.

Lala and Orstide then began their training.

The two of them frequently left home, often not returning for ten days or half a month at a time.

I heard that they are building teleportation magic circles around the world and collecting items to fight against gods and humans in the future.

It seems they are still engaged in some kind of secret training, but Rudeus has no idea what that is.

Although Loki and the others seemed somewhat opposed to letting such a young child leave home for too long, after a long family meeting, Lala managed to persuade her wives in her own way, and they reluctantly nodded in agreement.

"What? Dad's the only one at home?" Lala said with some dissatisfaction.

"Everyone has their own things to do during the day."

Rudius shrugged; he was actually supposed to be teaching at the Magic University today too.

However, he took leave because of Norren.

Speaking of Norren...

Rudius suddenly became curious.

"Lala, in your previous timeline, what happened to Norren in the end?"

"Of course he's dead."

Lala answered casually.

Bonus Chapter: Noren and Aisha (10)

"puff--"

Rudeus spat out the tea he had just drunk, spraying it all over Lala's face.

"Ah...sorry, sorry..."

"..."

Lala kept a straight face, expressionless.

Icarus came over and very considerately handed over a towel.

After wiping the tea off Lala's face, Rudeus smiled wryly and said, "Sorry, but what you said was too shocking. What do you mean by dead?"

"It means exactly what it says." Lala said lazily, "Sister Norren was a human. Not long after you died, Brother, Sister Norren also passed away peacefully."

"That's it..."

Rudius wiped away a cold sweat.

"Speaking of which, why did Dad suddenly ask about this?" Lala asked, puzzled.

"There's no particular reason, I just wanted to find out... and hear your thoughts."

Rudius scratched his head and said.

He and Lala come from two different timelines.

There was once a Rudeus who, after using time magic, returned to the point in time when he was born, just like himself.

After a series of efforts, he finally ended his life perfectly, surrounded by his wife and children, and died in happiness.

The only regret is that I couldn't defeat the god-man.

In order to realize this long-cherished wish, Lala activated an improved version of time magic, arrived at her current point in time, and entrusted the hope of victory to herself.

In other words.

If Lala hadn't appeared, his life would have been just like Rudeus's—surviving surrounded by his family. But because of Lala, everything changed.

"Oh, I see. Dad actually wanted to know who Noren married, right? If that's the case, just say it directly. Why beat around the bush?" Lala said irritably.

Rudius was speechless.

He could always understand Paul's feelings when he was with Lala—it was really difficult for one's own child to be more mature than oneself.

"If I say that Sister Norren eventually married Rachel Rudd, how would Dad feel?"

"Hmm...that's about what I thought."

"Sister Norren will marry Mr. Rijerrude, and there is a force of destiny protecting this. Although the force of destiny varies in strength, as long as it is not deliberately prevented, it will eventually turn out that way."

Lala drank the tea that Icarus had brewed and let out a long sigh like a little adult.

"But..."

"But what?"

"If Daddy wants to break them up, he might be able to, right? After all, Daddy has an exceptionally strong power of destiny; he can do anything, right?" Lala said casually.

"How could I possibly do such a thing?"

Rudeus rolled his eyes.

"Really? I think it's inappropriate to entrust your sister to an old man who has lived for thousands of years."

“How can you say such a thing? Mr. Rachel Rudd… There is no one more trustworthy in the world than Mr. Rachel Rudd,” Rudius said.

He never doubted this.

"Well, I don't have any objections anyway. After all, Sister Norren has been quite happy since marrying Rigel. I've even received some help from Rigelia..."

"Rishelia?"

"It's their daughter."

Rudius nodded in realization. So, in that world, Norren and Rijrud even had a child.

Will a little demon with a tail be born from Norren's belly?

Although it sounds a bit scary at first, it's actually quite normal when you think about it carefully.

Noren is cute, and Rijkaard is handsome.

Their child would probably be incredibly good-looking, right?

Rudius couldn't help but let his mind wander.
