However, although the appearance of the house has changed, the furniture and furnishings inside are still the same as before.

"Then, please wait for Mr. Ruijerud again. I have to go back to guard the transfer magic circle, so I will take my leave first." Lugarit said.

"Thank you for leading the way. It's really helpful." Rudeus stood up to see him off and said with a smile.

Lugret said quickly: "No, no, no, this is just my duty, no need to thank you."

"Having said that, taking one's duties seriously and responsibly is also an admirable act. Moreover, you have told us so much about the situation in the village along the way. Thank you is appropriate. Please accept it." Rudeus said with a smile.

Lucret suddenly blushed.

She responded in a low voice, then turned around and left the hut quickly, disappearing soon after.

"How do you run so fast?"

Rudeus was a little confused. He was not a savage beast. Why was he running so fast?

"Brother, stop messing around with others outside!"

Nolen angrily jumped up and hit Rudeus on the head.

"If you bring home a fourth wife besides Aisha, your mother will be pissed to death!"

"What am I doing here? It's just normal communication."

Unfortunately, no matter how Rudeus explained, Nolen refused to listen at all.

In the end Rudeus could only bow his head and apologize.

Nolen snorted softly.

Although my brother has always been an excellent and mature man, he is always prone to making the wrong move when it comes to dealing with women.

Coupled with the fact that the three sisters were always overly tolerant of Rudeus, Nolen always felt that even if Rudeus brought women into his family casually, they would eventually accept it helplessly.

So Nolen is sometimes confused.

Why does the elder brother in such a situation always only have three wives?

Maybe there is something going on that I don’t understand...

"crunch-"

Just when Nolen was thinking this, the door of the cabin opened from the outside.

"Sorry, things in the village have been delayed for a while."

A figure with green hair walked into the room and gave the two of them a familiar smile.

"Long time no see, Rudeus, Nolen."

"Mr. Ruijerud..."

Nolen stood up subconsciously.

Just when she hesitated, Rudeus patted her shoulder and whispered: "Go, Nolen."

It was as if he had gained courage from Rudeus' words.

Nolen threw himself into Ruijerud's arms and pressed his body completely against Ruijerud's body.

"Noren..."

Ruijerud was stunned for a moment, then smiled and touched Nolen's golden hair. "You've grown taller."

"Mr. Ruijerud, I have something I want you to take a look at!" Nolen raised his head, looked at Ruijerud and said seriously.

"what?"

"It's a novel I wrote!"

Extra: Nolen and Aisha (8)

in the wooden house.

Ruijerud sat at the table and carefully looked at the novel written by Nolen himself, stroke by stroke.

Nolen and Rudeus took advantage of this time to breathe outside.

Ruijerud's room was on a relatively high ground, and he could see the whole village from here.

A year is neither long nor short.

For immortal species like Sperudia, their year may be no different than a week.But for Nolen, a lot did happen this year.

She experienced many things in school, which made her character more mature and stable.

Inheriting Paul and Jannis's figure has become much better.

Although sometimes I still act stupidly for no reason.

"elder brother……"

Nolen suddenly spoke up.

"What's wrong?" Rudeus asked.

"You said, Mr. Ruijerud has been living alone in a house like this for so long, doesn't he feel lonely?" Nolen asked in a low voice.

Rudeus was stunned for a moment.

Saying so...

It seems that is indeed the case.

Ruijerud has been wandering around the world alone since hundreds of years ago.

Because of the curse from Laplace, he cannot be trusted and may even be hostile without reason.

So for so many years, he has been alone.

Perhaps because of this, he developed the sleeping style of half-crouching in a corner, holding a weapon.

But Rudeus wouldn't say this. Instead, he seemed to listen to Nolen's thoughts.

"Nolen, what do you think?" Rudeus asked.

"I think... maybe Mr. Ruijerud won't feel lonely because he has long been used to it."

Nolen said softly.

In the past war, he killed his own son with his own hands.

Then, during the hundreds of years that he survived, with hatred for Laplace and regret that everything was irreparable, he ran in vain to restore his reputation that was out of reach.

Nolen felt that Ruijerud was more tired than lonely.

Too tired to live!

"Noren..."

Rudeus looked at Nolen who was deep in thought and didn't know what to say.

Finally he rubbed Nolen's head.

"Nolen, I have to leave first."

"Eh?"

"Suddenly I need to go to Boss Long for something. Just stay here."

"Is this... okay?" Nolen was a little surprised.

"Of course. It's safe here, and with Mr. Ruijerud here, I don't think you will encounter any danger."

Rudeus smiled and said, "Still, don't you like to be alone with Mr. Ruijerud?"

"Ah... that's not what I meant..."

Nolen lowered his head in a low voice and said no more.

Rudeus smiled.

He rubbed Nolen's head again, then turned and walked towards the transfer magic circle in the distance.

"Please help me apologize to Mr. Ruijerud. When I come next time..."

Rudeus' figure quickly disappeared into the grass.

Nolen stared blankly at the direction where Rudeus disappeared, dazed.

I don’t know how long it took, but the door of the wooden house opened from the inside.

Ruijerud walked out of the room.

He looked around and asked doubtfully: "Where is Rudeus?"

"Brother, he left beforehand." Nolen said.

"Really...I'm really sorry. I was so absorbed in reading the novel just now that I didn't notice Rudeus leaving at all."

Ruijerud said apologetically.

"Obviously he is my brother and he left without saying goodbye..."

Nolen pursed his lips and snorted dissatisfiedly.

He immediately looked up at Ruijerud and asked seriously: "Mr. Ruijerud, have you finished the novel I wrote?"

"Ah."

Ruijerud nodded: "But from my perspective, it's more like a personal biography than a novel?"

"Yes, I wrote it bit by bit based on what Mr. Ruijerud said before." Nolen said shyly.

After the battle on the Sky Continent a year ago, she and Rudeus came to the village to treat Ruijerud.

After the treatment was completed, she spent some time in the village.

Listen to Ruijerud tell about his experiences in the hundreds of years since the Battle of Laplace.

"I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly."

Ruijerud couldn't help but smile bitterly. He couldn't even remember what he said at that time. He only remembered that Nolen had been asking about the details of everything, forcing Ruijerud to keep recalling it.
