After retiring, I became Loli’s magic mentor

"Um... your name is Noah, right? What a nice name..."

After a long while, Ryan spoke dryly.

Noah lowered his head and replied in a muffled voice: "Hmm..."

Sajilier gently touched Noah's head and said, "When she was born, many people regarded her as hope. That's how she got her name."

"Everyone...don't you blame me?" Ryan suddenly asked.

Sajilier shook her head: "No matter what happened to you at the Demon King's place, your contribution was more than enough. How could anyone blame you for slaying the three great demon generals with your sword?"

"Father……"

Noah quietly raised his head and for the first time whispered to Ryan, "You are a hero. Both I and the people around me think so."

Hearing this, Ryan felt a warm current flowing through his heart, and the heavy burden he had been carrying in his heart was relieved a little.

Ryan and Noah didn't say a few words until Nanali and Yvette finished processing the pork, even with Sajiri mediating.

How should I put it, it looks like they were close before their father-daughter relationship was confirmed, and there seems to be a huge gap between them.

When Ryan came to the kitchen to prepare dinner, a space crack appeared beside Ryan, and Alice poked her head out of it:

"It turns out that the bloodline has been left behind. This is cause for celebration."

Seeing that Alice didn't seem to have any surprised expression, Ryan asked while cooking: "You saw it a long time ago?"

"To say that I saw it a long time ago... I don't think so, right? The first time I saw Noa, I felt that she looked very similar to you."

Alice has been watching Ryan for ten years, so she must be right.

"This is not a good thing..."

Ryan sighed: "Noah is a child who could have lived a carefree life, but because of me, she was born in this war-torn era, and I, the culprit, have never been with her..."

"…As long as you go back, everything will be fine."

Alice was silent for a moment, then said, "If you go back, you can watch Noah being born and watch her grow up without worries."

"What about Noah here?"

Ryan paused while cutting meat and asked abruptly, "If we go back to ten years ago, will they continue to live in this ruined world, or will they disappear completely?"

Alice was silent again.

To be honest, both of these endings are quite hard to accept.

But, Alice finally said truthfully: "The Demon King only borrowed the law of time. She does not have the ability to open up a new space."

What this means is that this world is the same world as the world ten years ago. If Ryan doesn't go back, the former Nanali and the others will disappear.

If Ryan goes back, then Nanali and the others in this timeline will no longer exist.

"Whether they were before or they are now, they are actually the same person. There is no need to feel pressured by this."

Alice comforted him, "I also hope that you can go back ten years and give them a better decade, rather than a decade of blood and war."

"Um……"

"Also, about your daughter Noah, she was the child born from the union between you and Sajili when Xiaoshang was still alive, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"That means she has some connection with Xiaoshi. Although a familiar won't appear in the same person's magic circle twice, the probability of the descendants of the previous owner inheriting the same familiar is very high."

Alice said seriously: "If Xiaoshi is willing to respond to you again, then as long as Noah builds a magic circle to summon familiars, Xiaoshi will most likely appear again."

Ryan turned his head in astonishment: "You mean, Shi will come back to me?"

"That's right!"

"...Then I'll ask Noah for his opinion after some time."

Alice expressed her understanding, after all, Ryan and Noah’s current relationship was quite awkward.

Soon, a sumptuous wild boar dinner was served on the table by Ryan.

Nanali and Yvette had been hungry for the whole day, and they hadn't eaten Ryan's dishes for ten years, so they enjoyed the meal very much.

Noah had already had dinner at Daly's, but when he smelled the delicious food, he unconsciously sat down at the dining table and took the seat next to Ryan.

It can be seen that Noah also wants to have a good relationship with his biological father.

But the two were unable to break through the barrier in the middle.

At the dinner table, Ryan picked up some food for Noah from time to time, while Noah kept his head down and ate in small bites. The two of them were sitting next to each other, but they didn't say a word.

This scene made the girls anxious, and they almost kept staring at Ryan.

Aren't you good at pleasing little girls? Why is it not working now?

It's no wonder the girls thought so. In fact, when the father and daughter didn't know each other's identities, Ryan had already almost fully favored Noah after just two encounters.

But now, the favorability bar has changed, and Ryan doesn’t know how to increase favorability.

After dinner, Noah went back to his room to rest.

Nanali and Yvette also said goodbye and left.

Ysera looked left and right, and suddenly said, "I'll go find my father."

After that, Ysera also left, leaving only Lion and Sajiri.

"have a rest."

Sajilier smiled gently and said, "Tonight, let's be together."

"Ah."

? ? ? ?

The two of them spent the whole night in silence, simply hugging each other and spending the warm night.

The next morning, Sajili's eyelashes moved slightly, and then she opened her eyes.

When she saw Ryan sleeping beside her, Sajili felt relieved.

Fortunately...it wasn't a dream.

Raising her hand, Sajilier gently scratched Ryan's cheek and said softly, "Ryan, it's time to get up."

"Well?"

Ryan opened his eyes dazedly: "What's wrong?"

"Get up and take Noah to school."

Sajilier smiled and said, "It just so happens that Amiah is a magic instructor at the academy, and it's time for you to meet her."

Hearing this, Ryan smiled faintly: "Okay."

Then, Ryan gently pinched Sajili's face, got up, washed, and prepared breakfast.

When Ryan brought breakfast to the table, he saw Noah walking out of the bathroom with wet long black hair.

Seeing this, Ryan smiled and said, "Good morning, Noah."

Hearing the voice, Noah turned his head to look at Ryan, and after trembling his lips for a long time, he whispered, "Morning...Morning, father."

Ryan didn't care much, but pulled over a small stool: "Come, Noah, sit here."

Noah didn't say anything and obediently sat on the stool in front of Ryan.

Ryan gently held up Noah's black hair, and a gentle wind element gradually appeared in Ryan's palm.
