Neither he nor Ars received miserable treatment at all.

Logically speaking, everyone should be happy.

but.

Seeing the hesitant expression on Ars's face when he was brought into the room by Rudeus, Liz felt that the next thing would be even more difficult for Ars to face.

Having said that, Liz doesn't have time to worry about Ars now.

"So, are you Yars' girlfriend?"

"How far have you progressed so far?"

Liz swallowed nervously as she looked at Alice, who was sitting in front of her with great fanfare, staring at her fiercely and asking questions.

ok, so scary...

I really want to escape.

Extra: The Story of Ars (27)

While Liz was undergoing meticulous cross-examination by Alice.

In the study room of the mansion.

Ars was sitting in front of Rudeus nervously, as if he had made a big mistake.

In comparison, Rudeus seemed much more relaxed.

"Don't be so nervous, Ars, isn't the matter over now?" Rudeus said with a smile.

"Yes……"

Having said that, Ars still couldn't hide his uneasiness.

The source of the uneasiness is naturally very simple. It was because he was scolded by Alice in the Knights Hall before.

From a young age, Rudeus has told his family that a lot can be improved by recognizing mistakes.

It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, as long as you realize your mistakes and correct them later in life, there will be no problem.

however……

If you don't even know where you went wrong, there's no way to talk about it.

"Dad, I don't think I did anything wrong." Yars said with a frown.

"yes."

Rudeus made tea for himself and Ars and sat down at the desk.

He did not directly resolve the doubts, but said: "So from another perspective, can you summarize what you did in this incident?"

"of course can."

Yars said without hesitation: "I saw someone plotting against Liz, so I hid in secret to protect her. When she was in danger, I took the initiative to help her solve the danger. He even took the initiative to help her take responsibility. , preventing her from becoming a noble’s plaything.”

"I think I did nothing wrong!"

Yaers said confidently.

"yes……"

Rudeus smiled.

He changed his sitting position and asked with a smile: "Then let me ask you in turn, do you think you really protected Liz?"

"of course."

"What would have happened to you if dad and mom hadn't arrived in time?"

"...I will die, but even so I will protect Liz."

Yars hesitated and said, "Even if they want to harm Liz, as long as I live, I will not allow this to happen. Dad, isn't this what you taught me?"

Rudeus shook his head.

"You won't allow this to happen as long as you're alive, so in other words, it doesn't matter as long as you're dead, right?"

"Eh?"

"What you did just now, on the surface, seemed like you were trying your best to protect the child, but in the end? Did you really accomplish anything?"

Rudeus stood up, walked behind Ars under his stunned gaze, and patted his shoulder.

"If we didn't arrive in time, you were killed, and the child lost your protection, he would naturally be unable to resist the nobles."

"So in the end, you didn't protect anything at all."

"Yars, what you're doing may sound like you're risking your life to protect important people, but at worst... it's just self-indulgence."

"The real way to protect important people is to think about ways to survive for them from the bottom of your heart, instead of just going your own way."

Ars was speechless at this.

Think of ways to survive for the other person...

Yes.

This kind of thing sounds simple to say, but I didn't do it at all.

Seeing Ars lost in thought, Rudeus also showed a knowing smile.

He put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Yars, the true determination to protect others, even if you have to kneel down or kowtow to the other party, you have to use your acting skills or lies. Only then can you call it enlightenment." .”

"Your behavior is tantamount to suicide. In the opinion of Alice and I, it is just pure self-absorption."

Ars pursed his lips and lowered his head.

Do you have the consciousness to kneel down to the other party...

indeed.

During the process, although I was thinking about protecting Liz and never letting her get hurt, I did my best to do so.

But judging from the results, I really didn't accomplish anything.

And in order to protect Liz, the idea of ​​choosing to beg for mercy or begging for forgiveness from the enemy was completely unthinkable.

Thinking about it carefully, he killed Boris in a rage.

It seems like everything was done wrong from there.

In other words.

Are you just narcissizing yourself...

He realized how childish and ridiculous these actions he thought were cool were.

He could have completely avoided falling into this situation from the beginning, but he insisted on trying to be a hero, which ultimately led to such an ugly result.

Is this kind of me really qualified to pose as a savior in front of Liz?

Thinking of this, Yars clenched his fists subconsciously.

at this time.

A warm hand fell on his head.

"Dad?" Yars raised his head slightly.

"Yars, there is no need to be disappointed by this."

Rudeus smiled and said: "No matter what, there is no doubt that you want to protect the people you like."

"Although life cannot be repeated, as long as you realize your mistakes and correct them, you will not fall in the same place again in your life from now on."

"dad……"

Ars looked at Rudeus blankly, as if the stone in his heart had finally fallen.

He is indeed a father...

"Okay, now cheer up and tell your little girlfriend it's over." Rudeus patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Ok!"

Ars braced himself.

Just like Rudeus said.

If you do something wrong, never stay where you are and feel sorry for yourself.

You can't repeat life, but it's never too late to change.

As long as you sum up your experience and don't fall in the same place next time, then one day...

Even walking on cliffs, you can feel as calm and calm as on flat ground.

……

"Ah, by the way, Ars has something else to do." Rudeus suddenly called out to Ars.

"What's the matter dad?"

"Have you used the thing I gave you?"

"..."

Yars didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Rudeus smiled and said: "Don't be embarrassed to say it. We just have a few secrets between father and son. Don't worry, I won't tell others."

"……used."

"Oh?"

"But it didn't quite work."

"Um……?"

Under Rudeus' doubtful gaze, Ars recounted what happened with a red face.

Just like Sister Lala said, even if the girl puts herself on the bed, she can still let her run away.
