Wizard: The exploration panel keeps me pure.

"Did the old man bring you in?"

Hearing Ron's uncertain words, the moon goddess Seridwin nodded slightly, confirming his guess:

"That's right, it was that sir who brought me here."

"So what's the purpose? Bringing you and me here must have a reason; it can't just be something we did on a whim, right?"

His gaze was fixed on the black cat on Alice's shoulder. After he spoke, the cat stuck out its tongue and licked its paws. Then, its dark green eyes glanced at him, and it said nothing more.

Ron didn't understand why the other person had that expression.

There was speechlessness, disdain, and a hint of mockery. It was clearly a cat, yet he could somehow discern all sorts of emotions in those eyes.

Just as Ron was about to ask something else, he suddenly heard a strange voice:

"Hey kid, if you dare keep staring at Miss Alice, I'll definitely twist your head off. Trust me, I mean it."

Ron's heart skipped a beat. He shifted his gaze from the black cat on Alice's shoulder and looked toward the source of the voice.

A tall figure was staring menacingly at them. His stubble, ferocious expression, and bulging muscles all indicated that he was no ordinary person.

Just as Ron was checking the information on the panel, Alice suddenly spoke:

"Enough, Carlisle. Mr. Matthews is my guest, and we are on a mission right now. If you continue to disrupt everyone's journey, you know the consequences."

"Alice, this guy has always..."

"I said you don't understand, right?"

The girl's tone turned serious, her sapphire-like eyes fixed on the tall young man behind her until he lowered his head, before she turned to Ron and continued:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Matthews, but what Caris said does make sense. I hope you can restrain yourself a little before the mission is completed. If the goddess of fate doesn't object to us being together, it's not that I'm unwilling."

Upon hearing this, Ron, who had been staring at the tall young man, immediately shifted his gaze to the girl, his eyes filled with a strange expression.

"Did I hear that right? Does this guy even know what he's saying?"

He was filled with confusion and doubt about what the girl had just said, and even a little wary. He didn't understand why she would suddenly say these things to him. Although he had indeed seemed to be staring at her, he was only looking at Seridwin.

I have no idea what's going on in this guy's head.

But now was not the time to talk about that. Ron glanced at the black cat on the other girl's shoulder, then chuckled twice at the girl in front of him with a smile on his face:

"Hehe, I'm sorry, Miss Alice, your charm is simply irresistible to me. I was indeed a bit rude just now. Thank you for your forgiveness."

Alice listened to Ron's apology, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

Moreover, the young man named Carris behind them glanced at the two of them with a gloomy look, then lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.

Ron had, of course, noticed their movements. Although most of them were at the peak of the first-ring wizard level, he had not yet seen them go all out, and based on the aura they had shown earlier, they were only comparable to him.

So when he noticed the other person's subtle movement, he immediately became alert.

He does possess the strength of a first-ring wizard. If I were even slightly older, I might have fallen into his hands.

I don't want to die in some random place because of that old guy's weird sense of humor.

The group continued their journey.

Nothing else happened along the way. Apart from Ron, everyone else just stared fervently at Alice, who was walking at the front, including Caris, who had been scolded by her earlier.

Ron, on the other hand, kept looking at all the creatures he had never seen before in the forest with an inquisitive gaze.

The exploration panel opened and closed again and again.

Countless pieces of information about dream creatures flooded his mind, giving him a deeper understanding of this world.

As time passed, the seven-colored sun in the sky gradually lost its original brilliance.

Colorful clouds gradually appeared in everyone's eyes, and at the very end of them, a bright white moon hung in the sky, attracting everyone's attention.

Ron also turned his gaze to the moon that resembled the one in his previous life. Perhaps it was because the moon was so similar to the one he had seen in his previous life, or perhaps it was because he hadn't seen such a moon in so long, but a feeling of longing arose in his heart.

It's a longing for a peaceful and stable life.

But just as he was thinking about the moon he had seen in his previous life, a faint red color suddenly appeared in his heart.

Soon, that faint red color filled his entire mental sea, even making the silver moon he imagined in his mind appear enchanting and crimson.

Ron himself didn't seem to notice the change, and continued to reminisce in his mind about the past, but what he reminisced about was no longer the memory of his previous life.

Or it refers to what happened in the year after he came into this world.

My first encounter with my senior at the academy, Adele's radiant silver hair in class, the monsters I encountered in the corrosive swamp, the stone tablet I saw in the underground passage of Nurs City, and all the experiences I had in the other world.

Countless memories flooded Ron's mind like a tidal wave.

His eyes suddenly turned blood red, and the others around him seemed to be affected by him, turning into static like a television signal malfunction.

"Just as that gentleman predicted?"
