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

Alice straddled me, glaring at me menacingly.

Two enormous, completely unrestrained objects swayed back and forth in front of me, as if they might smash into my face at any moment. If that were to happen, I would probably suffocate.

"Eh?"

"Close the door."

"Okay, okay..."

I closed the door as Alice had asked.

The moment the room plunged into darkness, I was attacked by the ferocious beast Alice.

For the long time that followed.

We kept fidgeting like two monkeys, and finally I got the answer:

When primitive people sought shelter from the rain, they were probably busy reproducing.

……

……

I waited for almost half a day.

Because it is the rainy season now, we cannot expect the rain to stop completely. This rain will last for more than three months, and it is impossible to keep waiting.

When the rain seemed to have subsided a bit.

Alice and I decided to head towards our destination.

However, how to move forward is the question.

Although Alice and I are capable of handling this little bit of rain, I don't want to arrive at our destination soaking wet.

Besides, my clothes had just dried.

I can't stand it if I get wet again.

It's possible to directly disperse the rain clouds, but Professor Luo Qixi warned me that it's best not to interfere with the natural climate change, otherwise it could cause serious consequences.

As someone who strictly follows the teachings of the gods, I naturally wouldn't make a mistake in such a matter.

"Freeze!"

I used fire magic on the water below.

Lowering the temperature freezes the water in an area, creating an ice surface.

But the ice was quickly washed away by the water.

Forcibly expanding the ice surface to a weight that cannot be washed away is possible, but that would probably freeze even the trees to death.

Option A failed.

So, let's start with scheme B.

They used earth magic to create a small boat that could move across the water.

It sounds so romantic.

However, after it was finished, Alice refused to get on the ship no matter what, and that's when I remembered something.

Alice...

It seems like I'm seasick.

Option B also failed.

So, only the last resort remains.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Drudia

Half an hour later.

Alice and I gazed into the distance and saw the forest settlement below.

The villagers are extremely busy due to the rainy season floods. This is also an important time of year.

After the rainy season ends, the orcs will enter their mating season.

Orcs in heat become incredibly terrifying, so you absolutely cannot wait here until then.

Leave the invitation and gift and then go.

With that thought in mind, I lowered my arm and swung it down from a great distance.

"Hey--"

After I did that.

Immediately someone drew a bow and aimed an arrow at me, which startled me.

However, I quickly calmed down, probably because the idea of ​​someone flying in from the sky was too suspicious, and I was treated as an enemy.

I made a platform out of rocks that could accommodate two people, and then made a roof to shelter them from the rain, and moved forward in this way.

It looks like a miniature aerial fortress.

This is an advanced application of gravity magic; my old, half-baked gravity magic would never have been able to do it.

But thanks to the training I received from Alster over the years, I can do it now.

I guess I've grown a bit.

"Rudeus, look over there!" Alice suddenly shouted.

I looked in the direction she pointed and saw a pair of very cute girls directing the villagers below.

They have unusual ears like cats and dogs, furry heads, and tails behind their butts.

They're stupid cats and dogs...

wrong.

Although they look very similar, there are still some differences upon closer inspection.

Besides, cats and dogs these days aren't that young anymore.

That is to say...

They are their sisters, Minette and Tirusena.

"Alice, we're about to land."

"it is good!"

Alice and I held hands and slowly descended under the influence of gravity magic.

As we descended, more and more orc warriors quickly converged on our location.

By the time we landed completely, we were surrounded by orc warriors.

It seems that this village is still the same as before, very hostile and resistant to outsiders.

Especially for humans like Alice and me...

Just then, the soldiers surrounding us parted to make way for us.

The two figures we had seen earlier quickly approached.

Minette and Tirusena exchanged a glance, nodded, and then quickly pounced on Alice and me, sniffing us intensely.

"Meow!"

Minnie quickly cried out, her gaze flickering as she looked at me.

"Could it be... Rudeus?!"

Minnie asked, her voice tinged with surprise and delight.

"Yes, it's been a long time, Minette."

"So this is... Sister Alice?"

“It’s me!”

Alice reached out and ruffled Tirusena's fluffy head, then buried her entire head in Tirusena's hair, rubbing it back and forth.

Come to think of it, they used to be very close.

So many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Everyone, put down your weapons, meow! These two are heroes who once saved the Deludian race, meow! Don't be rude, meow!" Minette shouted to those around her.

Upon hearing her voice, the group exchanged glances and lowered their weapons.

It seems like most of the faces are unfamiliar. It looks like the village has changed a lot over the years, and you can feel the passage of time.

"I never expected that you two would come to visit the village at this time."

Tirusena wagged her tail and said, "What bad luck, it's the rainy season in the village right now, and everyone's incredibly busy."

"The way you're saying that makes it sound like we don't welcome Alice, meow," Minnie retorted immediately.

"No way!"

"That sounds exactly right, meow!"

"Ugh! Minettona is an idiot!"

The two of them started arguing again, which was really frustrating.

It seems they're on the verge of developing a relationship like that of silly cats and dogs.

"Ah, it's okay."

I spoke in my somewhat broken Beast God language, "It's I who should be saying that I shouldn't bother you at a time like this. Is there anything I can do to help?"

“No need for that. Since you two are visiting the village, please go directly to see the chieftain!” Tirusena said.

No one questioned her decision, and the guards around her said nothing.

It seems that over the years, their status and position have become quite terrifying.
