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

This hatred, which has lasted for thousands of years and spanned countless reincarnations, has finally come to an end.

everything is over.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with Paul and his group.

Now that everything was over, Rudius had no intention of bringing it up again. He wanted to enjoy his life from now on.

But another person returned with Rudius.

Aisha.

Aisha Greirat.

Aisha, who is almost thirty years old, has completely lost the naivety of her youth.

She inherited Lilia's outstanding and voluptuous figure, delicate and exquisite features, and adorable little fangs. If there's anything that hasn't changed, it's Aisha's relatively lighthearted personality.

She always calls him "brother, brother" and never misses an opportunity to act cute.

This is the real Aisha.

That being said, Rudeus brought Aisha here today not just to visit his parents.

The truly important things come next.

“Father, would you mind calling everyone together for a family meeting? I have something to announce,” Rudius said.

Paul instinctively realized what Rudius wanted to say.

He hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sure."

……

……

This was the first formal family meeting held in three years since Rudius left.

At the long, rectangular table, Paul sat at the far end, symbolizing the head of the household, while Rudius and Aisha, and Janis and Lilia sat on either side of the table.

Rudius turned and glanced at Aisha.

The latter chuckled, revealing his small, delicate canine teeth.

That sly smile made Rudius feel somewhat dazed, as if recalling certain scenes from the depths of his memory.

"Rudy, what is it you want to say?" Paul placed his hands on the table, his posture like that of Commander Ikari, giving off an immense sense of pressure.

Rudius gave a wry smile.

Although the topic he was going to talk about was indeed quite serious, it hadn't come to this, had it?

Especially Janice, who was sitting across the table.

What exactly did that intense gaze mean... that made Rudeus too afraid to speak?

However, even after much hesitation, the things that need to be said still need to be said.

"Well, first of all, I'm very sorry for not replying at all for three years, which has made everyone worry," Rudius said apologetically as he stood up and addressed the others at the table.

"Don't make us worry like this again next time," Janice said, somewhat disgruntled.

"Yes……"

Rudius hadn't expected that his departure would last for three years.

What surprised him even more was that, despite being out of contact for three whole years, the suicide note he left in his study had never been opened.

And it is precisely because of this that...

His own "legacy" was also preserved in its original state.

In other words, it seems that no one believes they will die and they are all waiting for them to return.

This made Rudius feel even more guilty...

Fortunately, it's all over now.

"During the three years I was away, thanks to Aisha and my three wives for helping to manage things, my family has not had any trouble. My father's grandchildren are also growing up well and have become very reliable now."

Paul nodded.

He had also witnessed Lucy and Ars's growth.

Although he didn't visit often, he kept a close eye on things thanks to the mercenary group's intelligence. Paul had always been very supportive of their progress.

"Then, the second thing I want to talk about."

Rudius took a deep breath and slowly raised his left hand from under the table.

He was also holding something in his left hand; it was Aisha's right hand.

The two hands are interlocked.

"Father, Mother, and Lilia..."

Rudius took a deep breath, and then, amidst the differing gazes of the three, said, "I want to... marry Aisha!"

Janice remained silent.

Lilia gently covered her mouth and looked at Aisha beside her.

Paul maintained his original posture, his face expressionless.

After Rudius finished his announcement, he earnestly said to Paul, "Father, Mother, and Lilia... I hope to receive your blessings."

"Is that so?"

Paul stood up and walked over to Rudius and Aisha.

"It's been so long, and you still bring up marriage in front of me again? You've got some serious perseverance. I thought you were just acting on a whim back then," Paul said with a slightly flippant tone.

“I didn’t say it before because I felt I couldn’t do it, but now there’s no reason to,” Rudius said.

Compared to Paul, his tone was noticeably more serious.

Paul also became serious and glanced at Rudius and Aisha.

The former met his gaze without backing down.

The latter was the same, but her slightly pursed lips and quietly clenched fingers betrayed her unease.

After a long silence.

His expression finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.

What else can I say?

Paul shrugged. "Wishing you... a baby soon?"

Chapter Six: Long Live Magic

After the family meeting ended.

Rudeus stayed at home for the first time in a long time and enjoyed Lilia's cooking.

While Lilia's cooking skills may not be the best in the world, they have a homely quality. Aisha learned her cooking from Lilia, so for Rudeus, Lilia's cooking is the most authentic.

To this day, he has almost forgotten what Japanese food tastes like.

after all……

Compared to his stagnant life in Japan for over thirty years, his life in this world is infinitely richer.

"Come on, Rudy, eat more. You've gotten a little thinner."

Janis smiled and kept putting food into Rudius's bowl, her overly enthusiastic attitude making Rudius feel a little uncomfortable.

However, considering that they hadn't seen each other for three whole years, Rudius couldn't refuse this enthusiasm.

Three years...

It's said to be three years, but for me it's actually been a much longer journey.

anyway.

Perhaps it was because of the years spent in the labyrinth that my body was also affected.

Although Janice is no longer young, her skin still looks very elastic, and she doesn't look like a middle-aged woman, but rather like a young woman.

Ok……

Perhaps it's because she was nourished by Paul quite a bit.

As for Paul, he has indeed looked quite haggard over the years.

There were already strands of white hair on his head, and his once tall and straight body had become slightly hunched.

This is the power of time.

Time is both fair and unfair.

There are so many immortal beings in the world, yet I am just a human.

"What's wrong, Rudy? You seem a little distracted?"

"It's nothing... Father, I just wanted to discuss the wedding arrangements with you later."

"No problem at all."

Paul said with a smile.

……

After nightfall.

Rudius returned to his room.

Everything in the room was still the same as when I last came, with no difference or change, and no dust had accumulated on the floor.

Clearly, Lilia and the others had been tidying up her room all these years while she was away.

Do not……

It could also be Aisha.
