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

Nina agreed, saying, "Don't let his seemingly detached appearance fool you. The first time he took me, and every night..."

"Cough cough cough..."

I quickly interrupted the topic and suggested that we visit the Holy Land of Swords together.

Alice got excited and dragged me into the dojo.

Before leaving, I vaguely saw that something seemed to have happened to Yars.

The girl with light yellow hair walked up to Ars and seemed to be saying something.

I remember her name was... Jill?

He lost to Yars in the previous match.

Hopefully, she won't take it too seriously.

There's really nothing noteworthy about visiting the dojo.

After Kino became the Sword God, some people who were not convinced of him left the Holy Land of Swords on their own initiative.

Those who remained were all people who recognized Kino's strength.

We went together to the place where Alice practiced swordsmanship, and then Nina told us about Alice's series of actions since arriving at the Holy Land of Swords.

This is something I already knew.

No, I think it should be slightly different from my previous life.

After all, this time Alice didn't choose the Sword God style, but instead chose the Water God style.

……

time flies.

After visiting the Holy Land of Swords, we didn't plan to stay for dinner.

After all, Icarus had already prepared dinner at home.

I left through the gate with Alice, Ars, and Liz.

"Yars!"

Just as we were about to leave, a familiar figure came running out of the dojo with light steps.

Judging from their posture, they seemed to be coming at me aggressively, and directly targeting me...

Ars came from behind.

"Yars!"

The girl shouted in a louder voice.

“Jill?” Yas tilted his head.

"You... are you just going to leave like this?"

Jill strode up to Yars, glared at him, and said in a displeased tone.

"Ok?"

Ars asked, puzzled, "Is there anything else?"

"We haven't decided a winner yet!"

"No, no, no, didn't we already finish the competition?"

"That was just a wooden sword; the result would definitely be different if a real sword were used."

Upon hearing what Gil said, a look of helplessness appeared on Yars' face.

"Even if you say so..."

"And don't you plan to stay and continue your studies in the Holy Land of Swords?"

"I……"

Before Yars could even speak...

Liz stepped forward and stood in front of Jars.

She smiled and said, "Yars has his own dojo and doesn't need to borrow someone else's territory. Besides, the Holy Land of Swords is not suitable for cultivating the Water God Style, so there's no reason for him to stay."

“Swordsmanship is something that can only be improved through sparring. With me training alongside Ars, you’ll improve very quickly,” Gil immediately retorted.

Liz replied without hesitation, "I can handle being a sparring partner of your level too."

"What did you say……"

The two women stared at each other, their eyes meeting in a silent exchange that seemed to spark with lightning speed.

Ah, is that so?

Alice and I exchanged a glance and, in perfect unison, chose to watch the show.

this moment.

I suddenly understand Paul's mindset when he was the referee and presided over my duel with Cliff.

Before I knew it, I had become an elder.

Watching the children making such a racket can be heartwarming; isn't that a bit of an old person's mentality?

……

……

"enough."

As the argument between the two escalated, Yars finally lost his temper.

He stepped forward and intervened between the two, interrupting the argument.

Then, he turned his head and said, "Swordsmanship is indeed very important, but the Holy Land of Swords is not my home, and I will not abandon my family to become stronger."

"so……"

"I'm sorry, I can't stay here."

Jars said without wavering.

"Well……"

Hear these words.

An indescribable expression immediately appeared on Jill's face.

It sounded like resentment, impatience, and anger.

“That’s how it is,” Liz said with a smile.

As she spoke, she grabbed Jars' left hand and smiled as if showing off.

"Since, since that's the case..."

Gil pressed her lips together and suddenly stepped forward to grab Jars' right hand.

Her face flushed, she gritted her teeth and said, "Then I want to go too!"

"Eh?"

"what?"

“I will keep challenging you until I beat you and leave you speechless with defeat!” Gil gripped Yars’s hand tightly and said through gritted teeth.

"Are you kidding me? You, you bastard, let go of my hand!"

"Then you should let go first."

"I'm Ars's girlfriend, why should I let go of her hand!"

"What do you mean by your romantic partner? I'm your rival, and you won't have a say until the battle is over!"

"He's clearly a defeated opponent!"

"What did you say?"

The argument between the two continued to escalate.

Yars felt like he had two heads to crack.

He said with a headache, "Wait, why are you ignoring my opinion? I never said I would accept your challenge at any time..."

"Huh? As a swordsman, you don't even have this much responsibility?"

Jill glared at Jars.

“Besides, it’s my freedom to go wherever I want, isn’t it? What right do you have to stop me from leaving?” Jill said matter-of-factly.

Ars was speechless for a moment.

What is this all about...

Chapter Twenty: The Great Forest

In short, I've made up my mind!

"I want to go to the Kingdom of Asura with you all!"

"I will not come back until I have completely defeated Jars!"

Jill gripped Yars's hand tightly, as if afraid he would suddenly run away.

At the same time, he stared at Yars with a provocative look.

"Be prepared to accept my challenge anytime, anywhere. As a swordsman, there is no reason to run away!"

"I really am..."

Ars felt like his head was about to explode.

Especially the smiling gaze from Liz beside him sent chills down his spine.

He just hopes someone will come out and stop her.
