Reincarnation without a job, you have to live seriously even if you succeed in time magic

This is a wide single-edged sword. The blade is about [-] centimeters, which is relatively small. The blade is curved, similar to a machete.

Although it has been used for a long time, the blade is not damaged and it is obviously well maintained.

Alice on the side stared at the sword with sparkling eyes.

Yeaahahah.

As expected, this guy is still more interested in swords.

I gratefully accepted the gift from my father-in-law.

As for the money, I didn't ask for it.

On the contrary, he also left some magic crystals for his father-in-law as a thank you for staying overnight.

This is already a scenario I had envisioned in advance.

We left the village and hit the road.

After walking a certain distance, I turned back and found that my father-in-law and mother-in-law were still standing at the entrance of the village looking at us.

So I stopped and shouted:

"Father-in-law! Mother-in-law!"

"I will bring Luo Qixi to propose marriage next time!"

Hearing my voice, the two of them had completely different expressions on their faces.

Then we set out on our journey.

Head towards the nearest town.

33. First battle

It takes at least three days to travel from the village to the nearest town.

With my ability, I can speed up the process, but it's not necessary.

This is part of the process of growing up.

"Rudeus! Now, Rudeus!"

Alice yelled from the side.

I looked over helplessly.

Alice was jumping up and down waving the best sword in the village, as if she wanted to find something to chop with.

This guy is too energetic.

"It's better to conserve your energy as much as possible. If you're traveling for the first time, you'll be too tired to walk if you don't pay attention to conserving your energy."

Ruijerud reminded him kindly.

The third eye of the Sperud tribe is quite useful in this situation, equivalent to human radar.

Any enemy that comes close will be immediately discovered by him and eliminated.

"Ruijerud, I want to ask you a favor."

I opened my mouth and said.

"Are you tired from walking?"

"No, I want to ask you to let Alice participate in the battle."

"It's too dangerous. There is no need for children to participate in dangerous battles..."

Ruijerud said seriously.

"As you can see, Alice has always been very enthusiastic about conquering monsters and other things. If you stop her and don't let her move around, she won't know her own strength, and she might run away alone. Go fight against monsters.”

"Is that so..."

"Actually, I want to ask Ruijerud to become Alice's teacher."

"child……"

"Alice will be happy."

"...In that case, that's fine."

Ruijerud hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Alice seemed to have endless energy, he agreed.

Maybe he also thought it would be better to let Alice see his strength clearly.

People have self-knowledge.

Then I called Alice over.

"What's wrong Rudy, is there a monster?!"

Alice said excitedly while carrying the sword.

I told her what I had discussed with Ruijerud just now.

Alice was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed with excitement.

"Then, I'm sorry to trouble you, Ruijerud!"

Alice pulled Ruijerud excitedly.

"Ah, um..."

Ruijerud smiled bitterly and nodded.

I took a deep breath.

"But Alice, there is something I want to tell you in advance."

"Huh? What?"

"All battles are between you and Ruijerud. Unless my safety is threatened, or I encounter a completely unsolvable monster, I will not take action."

I say so.

"Eh?"

Alice was stunned for a moment,

"But isn't Rudy very strong?"

"Just because I'm strong, I don't participate in fighting."

I said it seriously.

"Alice, you should fight and grow on your own without my help, right?"

"……Yes."

Alice was stunned for a while, but soon became active again.

Then he patted his chest towards me, full of confidence.

"Rudeus, let me protect you!"

It seems that she also accepted my statement.

……

After a while, Ruijerud discovered the enemy.

It's a monster called Stone Demon Wood.

I won’t go into details here about what it is.

At my request, Ruijerud agreed to take Alice with him to attack.

The Stone Demon Tree is not an extremely dangerous monster. For adventurers who often participate in life and death, it is just a miscellaneous fish.

Even in Ruijerud's eyes, it was firewood that could be seen everywhere.

But it was not easy for Alice, who was fighting against monsters for the first time.

“Look calmly at your opponent, trusting everything you learned from Kirianus.”

"Just take action. If there is danger, Ruijerud will save you before you get hurt."

Alice let out a sigh of relief,

She held the sword in her hand and walked towards the Stone Demon Wood with her eyes closed.

step.

two steps.

Three steps.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, Alice opened her eyes.

At this moment, a terrifying killing intent burst out in her eyes.

next moment.

Dirt suddenly exploded under her feet.

Then in my eyes, her figure seemed to disappear, and she rushed forward quickly.

Toward the stone magic wood.

straight.

She jumped up low in the air and used the power of her waist to twist in mid-air. The one-handed sword also moved with it, giving the sword in her hand more power.

The moment the stone demon wood noticed Alice's movement, it began to twist.

However it was too late.

"Thorn-"

The sword, which was not too sharp, cut the twisting stone demon tree into two pieces.
