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

323. The End of the Great Adventure

night.

I had a dream.

I dreamt of myself before I was reincarnated.

The bloated fat man stood in front of me, looking at me with a sneer.

"In the end, what have you actually grown from?"

"..."

"To do such a thing to your sister."

"..."

"You're just a disgusting person at heart. Don't think that starting over means it never happened!"

"..."

That bloated fat man kept making sarcastic remarks to me.

But I couldn't answer.

……

When I woke up.

I was covered in cold sweat and breathing rapidly.

Nightmare.

Without a doubt, this dream was a nightmare.

It was as if it had sounded an alarm for me.

"I can't escape..."

I told myself that.

There's no escaping it now, Rudeus.

Behind you is everything you want to protect.

and so.

Not even half a step back.

……

the next day.

Aisha and Alice reappeared before me.

The two seemed to have talked a lot last night.

Alice crossed her arms and stared at me.

Although he no longer used that fierce look, he still didn't give me a friendly look.

On the contrary, it was Aisha.

It has fully recovered its previous lively and energetic appearance, and looks full of vitality.

"Brother, shall we leave the city?"

Aisha suggested.

"Um……"

I nodded.

He subconsciously reached out to touch Aisha's head.

His hand remained suspended in mid-air, unable to fall.

Do I still have the right to do this now?

I thought so.

Aisha suddenly grabbed my hand and pressed it on her head.

“…Aisha.”

"What is it, brother?"

"I'm sorry for saying those things yesterday."

"It's okay. I never thought I would become my brother's wife or anything like that."

Aisha flashed her little tiger teeth and chuckled.

"As long as I can stay by my brother's side, that's enough."

"Then, come home with me."

"what?"

"Although I don't know how it will turn out, I think... I should talk to my family."

That's what I said.

Yes.

That's right.

This is my decision.

Since I cannot judge the right or wrong of this matter myself.

Then don't trust yourself, choose to trust your family.

"Aisha, although this is a bit sudden, could you temporarily stop your adventures and come home with me?"

I stroked Aisha's head and said softly.

"Ok!"

Aisha nodded emphatically.

I turned to look at Alice.

"Humph!"

The latter gave a soft snort and turned her head away.

It seems there's a lot of dissatisfaction...

wrong.

This should mean "barely acceptable", right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Although I don't know how it will turn out in the end.

But at the very least.

Let's face it together.

Because, now.

I am no longer alone.

……

……

After deciding to leave Hammapolga.

We then began preparations.

That being said, it just so happens that we are currently at war.

Leaving by normal means would undoubtedly result in questioning by the guards.

So, what to do?

Should we summon Icarus to fight our way out?

It's not necessary.

"It might take some time."

I said this.

They led Aisha and Alice to a secluded basement.

This is the address we selected during yesterday's reconnaissance.

Although it is dilapidated, it is a property with independent ownership.

I spent a little money to buy this place.

"So, how do we get from here to the outside?"

Alice asked.

"Use earth magic to dig a hole."

From here, we dug tunnels all the way to the outside of the city.

"what?"

Upon hearing my answer, Aisha's eyes widened.

Is it possible to do such a thing?

"Yes, theoretically it's possible."

past life.

During that period of hardship, sleeping outdoors.
