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

However, no matter how much he shouted, Liz didn't stop at all and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ars stood there, stunned.

He looked at the pink handkerchief in his hand and was momentarily at a loss.

What's going on here?

After much struggle, Ars still couldn't come up with a solution.

I glanced at the time and realized that it was already so late without me noticing, so I packed my things and took the handkerchief home with me.

……

"I am back!"

Ars skillfully pushed open the door.

Just as he was about to hand his equipment to the maid, he suddenly noticed a somewhat familiar figure in the living room, sitting at the table drinking tea.

She has the same hair color as her father, as well as slender shoulders and slightly pointed ears.

That figure.

Without a doubt, it was...

"Sister Lucy?!"

Ars's voice was filled with surprise and doubt.

"Yars, you're really late."

The voice slowly turned around; it was the eldest daughter of the Rudeus family, and also Ars's older sister.

Lucy Greirat.

"Sister Lucy, what are you... doing here?" Ars asked in surprise.

"It's all because you've been in the capital for over a month, but you haven't come to see me and Lala at all, which has made us a little worried about you."

Lucy said irritably.

Upon closer inspection, one can see a hint of weariness on her face, and she keeps drinking tea in an attempt to perk herself up.

Clearly, she was worried because she realized that Yals hadn't returned so late, which is why she stayed up all night.

"I'm sorry, Lucy..."

Ars scratched his head awkwardly.

During this period, because I felt that my swordsmanship was not progressing much, I thought I would adjust my state by working twice as hard. As a result, I maintained a life of going back and forth between two points for a whole month and did not visit Lucy and Lala at all.

Moreover, the two of them usually live in the college dormitory, so they are not easy to see each other.

"I'm very sorry, Young Master Jars."

The butler in charge of the affairs bowed slightly and said apologetically, "We did try to persuade Miss Lucy to rest early, but she insisted on waiting for you to return, so..."

"No, no, no, it was my fault," Yars quickly waved his hand.

Lucy sighed and didn't pursue the matter any further.

"So tell me, why did you come back so late? You weren't out having a romantic time with some girl, were you?"

Lucy slowly walked up to Ars.

Suddenly, her small nose twitched, as if she had caught some interesting scent.

"Ok?"

Lucy narrowed her eyes slightly.

She moved closer to Ars again, almost pressing her nose against him as she sniffed.

"Lucy, what are you doing? It smells bad!" Yars said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Hum hum!"

A sly smile appeared on Lucy's lips.

"Yars, you little rascal, I've got you!"

Ars paused for a moment, "Lucy, why are you... smiling like Lala?"

“…No way.”

Lucy rolled her eyes and waved her hands repeatedly: "Don't change the subject, where did you go just now, tell me!"

"I didn't go anywhere. I'm practicing swordsmanship at the dojo."

"Practicing swordsmanship until this late?" Lucy looked incredulous.

"Diligence leads to progress."

Ars spoke with righteous indignation.

Lucy gave him a suspicious look and immediately shook her head vigorously.

"No, no! They're definitely hiding something from me!"

"...Lucy, what exactly have you been saying since just now? I don't understand at all."

Ars shrugged helplessly.

"Do I really have to spell it out?" Lucy raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "I can smell it, you smell like a woman! You must have been hugging and cuddling with some girl just now, right?"

Hear these words.

The butler winked at the maid, and the two of them quietly left at the same time.

"Absolutely not, I was just...uh..."

Just as Ars was about to deny it, he suddenly remembered that when he was practicing swordsmanship earlier, the girl named Liz seemed to have taught him a few moves.

During the process, their bodies were almost pressed together.

If that's the case, then there's really nothing more to say.

"You hesitated, didn't you? You can't deny it, can you!"

Lucy immediately raised her voice, becoming excited: "Tell me quickly, tell me, which girl is it? Is she pretty? How old is she? Height? Weight? How big are her breasts? What's her family background like? Is it just a casual fling or is there real affection? How long have you known each other? Where did you meet, and how did you meet? What do you usually do..."

"Wait a minute, Lucy!"

The people of Yars are practically living in Bengbu.

These questions came like a machine gun; I couldn't answer them all.

It seems that Lucy has really been corrupted by Lala.

"Sister Lucy, it's not like what you think. She just taught me a few moves," Yass said with a wry smile.

"What trick?" Lucy's eyes lit up.

"...Just ordinary swordsmanship, Lucy, what are you thinking?"

"Tch, that's really boring."

Lucy pouted, looking utterly disappointed.

But she quickly realized something and immediately asked, "Wait a minute! If you two are really not familiar with each other at all, why would a girl like her personally teach you swordsmanship?"

"Because... uh, why?"

When asked this question, Yars couldn't answer it either.

Yes.

The two were complete strangers, so why would Liz teach her swordsmanship?

"As expected, there are still some hidden stories that I don't know about."

Lucy smiled crookedly.

When it comes to gossip, no woman is less intelligent than Einstein.

Ars was somewhat helpless; he didn't know how to explain it to Lucy.

It seems that Lucy has been spending too much time with Lala; she's almost become Lala's shape now.

"Oh, right, speaking of which..."

Ars suddenly remembered his business and took out the handkerchief that Liz had given him from his pocket.

Lucy's eyes lit up when she saw the handkerchief: "A token of love?!"

Ars, sweating, said, "No, I just needed it to wipe my sweat."

"You're so close you can share personal items?" Lucy's eyes lit up.

Yars was sweating profusely: "What kind of personal item is a handkerchief?"

"You don't even consider a handkerchief as enough, so that means you've already gone further?"

Lucy's eyes are 24K pure gold and sparkling.

Yars Falls Khan: "Sister Lucy, go to sleep early, you're acting a bit strange."

"Sleep? I came back today specifically to see you. I have to go back to the academy tomorrow, and I just drank so much tea that I can't sleep at all."

Lucy pulled Yars to sit on the sofa, her face full of interest.

"Quickly, tell me everything that happened between you two, from the time you met until now!"

"Sister Lucy, please spare me..."

Ars was on the verge of tears.

He was really tired and wanted to sleep...

Side Story: The Tale of Ars (10)

When Ars arrived at the dojo the next day, he had two thick dark circles under his eyes.

Yesterday I was already physically and mentally exhausted from practicing swordsmanship.
