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

The moment the sound fell.

The already formed giant fireball, wreathed in intense heat, roared out like a dragon...

what.

They didn't break through.

"Ran Mo!"

I snapped my fingers lightly.

The magic power that had already taken shape instantly dissipated and disappeared.

"Eh?"

Cliff was stunned.

Then I gently extended my finger, carefully controlling the output of magic.

"Rock Cannonball!"

Cliff hadn't reacted yet.

A force struck the staff.

Caught off guard, the staff slipped from his hand.

"W-what..."

Cliff froze on the spot.

"you lose."

I pointed at Cliff with my finger, the rock cannonball re-formed at my fingertip.

The moment I give the thought, this rock cannonball will be launched.

Cliff's head exploded.

of course.

I could never do that.

"I lost……"

Cliff slumped to the ground, utterly dejected.

He clenched his fists in frustration.

In an instant, an astonishing cheer erupted in the hall.

These guys would probably shout that no matter who wins.

Paul quietly gave me a thumbs up.

Alice patted me on the shoulder.

"Rudy! I knew you were the best!"

A bright smile spread across her face.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

as long as you are happy.

……

amid cheers.

I walked straight up to Cliff and held out my hand to him.

"Get up, you shouldn't be sitting on the ground."

I smiled.

"Tsk... I don't need your pity!"

Cliff glared at me and turned his head away.

“Mr. Cliff, I do not pity you; on the contrary, I admire you quite a bit.”

"admire?"

Cliff looked puzzled.

"Knowing that the other party is strong, I still dare to challenge them for the sake of the person I like."

I said with a smile.

"Isn't this kind of pure courage worthy of admiration?"

"You've got a good tongue."

"I simply think you are a respectable person who dares to challenge the strong."

"Humph……"

Cliff gave a soft snort.

finally.

He still managed to stand up, taking my hand, in full view of everyone.

"Losing a duel means losing!"

Cliff dusted himself off and picked up his staff.

Then he glared at me and said.

"But one day, I will become stronger than you, Rudeus!"

"I'll see."

I said with a smile.

Cliff left the Adventurers' Guild without looking back.

"Rudy! You're amazing!"

Alice excitedly pounced on me and hugged me from behind.

Two soft mounds slammed into my back.

Wow!

Rudy the Little!

Now is not the time for you to get up!

I bent over awkwardly.

Countless amused glances came from all around.

"Alice, stop fooling around..."

"Huh? What does it have to do with anything...?"

At this time.

Paul walked over.

"Since you're here, how about we grab something to eat together for lunch?"

Paul extended a warm invitation.

"Who are you?"

Alice glanced at Paul, her tone indifferent.

“I am Paul Greirat, and I shall be considered Rudius’s father.”

Paul smiled and bowed to Alice with a standard aristocratic gesture.

then.

I could clearly feel it.

Alice's body froze.

71. Don't go back.

“My, my name is… Alice Boreas Greirat, um, that…”

Alice stammered.

Hey Hey hey.

He's usually so easygoing.

Why can't I speak when I'm facing Paul?

"Um, I'm sorry, I spoke a little too loudly just now..."

Alice pursed her lips.

"No, no, don't worry about such a small thing. In short, it's good that you're back."

Paul laughed and then patted me on the shoulder.

This guy has something to say to me?

I thought so.

"Alice, could you please go to the tavern across the street and find us a table? We'll be right there."

"Ok!"

Alice nodded quickly, then fled in panic.

Only after confirming that Alice had left did Paul turn to look at me.

"Rudy, are you really going to make her your woman?"

"That's the plan."
