Paul didn't look at his wife. He looked up at the ceiling again, recalling Allen's situation and what he had said before.

Allen said he would protect Rudeus's future, so maybe Rudy really doesn't need to be too proficient in swordsmanship... With their current abilities, they're already a perfect match for adventuring in a labyrinth... but I still feel a bit unwilling. How can my child have no talent for the sword...

"Well..."

"Master Paul, this is undoubtedly feasible. Because I'm completely clueless about magic, in the future, if Rudeus specializes in magic and I specialize in swordsmanship, we can complement each other's weaknesses. And compared to a teacher-student relationship, I'd rather be friends or partners with Rudy."

Paul was taken aback. He looked at Allen, who had suddenly straightened his back, sat up properly, and was looking at him seriously. He subconsciously felt that he was right.

"...That's true. Then let's shorten it by one hour." Allen turned to look at Rudy. The latter blinked quickly and gave Allen a thumbs-up under the table.

"Thank you, Teacher."

In Rudeus's room, Allen looked at the slightly upturned brown hair on Rudeus's head and still felt a sense of unreality.

I fought tooth and nail to get your favor, and it was useless. But when I was about to give up, lie down, and be a salted fish, the favorability just... came?

Is this reasonable?

"Reasonably guiding my father's words and actions is something I do often. I didn't expect you to be a kindred spirit, Teacher."

"Ah, right."

"I'm begging you, please keep it up. In the future, please make sure I don't have to learn swordsmanship anymore. As you've seen, I prefer magic to swords."

"Ah, right."

Allen froze.

Wait a minute. You little brat, you just want me to lose my job so you can get rid of me.

Rudeus, seeing Allen's dazed expression, grinned and put on the same benevolent expression he usually had when watching Paul act foolishly. Then, seeing Allen look at him, he suddenly became serious again.

"Father told me you met Roxy on the road?"

Allen blinked.

"Yes. You could say I owe her one."

Rudy nodded like a pecking chicken, then his small face contorted with conflict. He looked as if he was afraid of not getting the answer he wanted if he asked, but unwilling not to ask.

"Did she... mention me?"

Allen glanced at Rudy.

"She did."

Rudy instantly lit up.

"What did she say??"

"She said you were a smooth-talking pervert."

Rudy's smile collapsed.

"Huh?"

"She also said you stole her underwear."

The moment the word 'underwear' left his lips, Rudy immediately looked under his bed. Then, realizing something, he stiffly turned his head back to Allen.

Allen squinted.

"I can't believe you really stole her underwear..."

"I can explain! Please don't tell Father and Mother!"

"Give me a break."

Allen walked to the side of the bed amidst Rudeus's trembling expression and looked down.

...and saw a pair of small, white panties tucked into the gap under the bed frame...

Although he was mentally prepared, seeing this scene in person once again confirmed that Rudy was a true pervert...

Allen's lip twitched. He turned to look at the wooden-faced Rudeus.

"Where's the shrine? Aren't they usually placed in a shrine?"

Rudy looked stunned.

"What?"

Allen raised an eyebrow.

"You don't have one?"

Wait, at this point in time, he probably hadn't put it in a shrine yet. I got the timing wrong...

He blinked, preparing to make up an excuse.

But Rudy suddenly shouted, making him jump.

"Genius!"

Rudeus looked at him as if he were family and took both of Allen's hands in his.

"Genius! Yes! A sacred relic should be enshrined! Teacher, you're a true genius!"

Allen's expression twitched as he looked at him.

'I'm done for. I've received an endorsement from a fellow professional pervert.'

[Rudeus's favor has been obtained again. It seems success is no accident. The host's ability has been verified multiple times.]

'Get lost! Can't you do something normal for once?'

Then Rudy blinked and looked at Allen suspiciously.

"The term 'shrine'... do they have that in your hometown too?"

Allen pursed his lips.

"Ah, yes. My hometown is quite remote, so we have some strange spiritual customs. Every household worships their own gods."

Rudy asked curiously.

"...Gods?"

"For example, the god of the sea is O'cean, the god of contracts is RNGesus, and the god of the abstract is 'Just-because'."

Rudeus's expression was blank.

"...Those gods' names sound a bit strange... Is that your hometown dialect? Uh... so which god does your family worship, Teacher?"

Allen glanced at Rudy.

"My family worships the Three-Colored God: Blue Mama, White Mama, and Red Mama."

Rudeus scratched his head. He understood the words this time, but still couldn't comprehend.

'Why is this person talking such nonsense...'

Allen, on the other hand, looked at Rudeus. Speaking of the three Mamas, he couldn't help but think of Sylphie. He then asked.

"By the way, I've seen you running outside these past few days. Have you made any friends? If you have, you could invite them home for dinner. I'm sure the Master and Mistress would be happy to see you making friends."

Rudeus's expression turned blank.

"Friends? No, I'm just surveying the terrain."

"Is that so..."

Allen studied Rudeus's face and thought he probably wasn't faking it. In his previous life, he had been kicked out of his home, so in this life, he was really just training his wilderness survival skills, just in case he got kicked out again. In the original story, Rudy met Sylphie soon after Roxy left, but there was actually a gap of some time, during which he was doing just this.

As for meeting Sylphie, that was probably in the summer, and it was now only late March, not even early April yet.

It seems Sylphie will have to be bullied for a while longer... She was bullied because of her green hair, so it's likely she's been bullied ever since she was old enough to run around and remember things...

White Mama's gray childhood... it had such a profound impact... her unassertive nature in the newlywed arc was also directly related to this.

Allen sighed silently.

Guiding Rudy to rescue Sylphie early probably won't cause too much of a butterfly effect... Looking at it, the related events won't change. They'll just meet six months earlier.

"...You don't play with the other kids in the village?"

Rudy looked up and to the side, scratching his face.

"Well... we probably just don't get along."

Allen looked down at Rudy.

"Tell me... do you think we're friends?"

Rudy's lip twitched.

'...I thought this ferocious-looking kid was more mature. Turns out he's just like any other kid, always talking about being 'buddies'...'

Rudy put on his trademark 'good boy' smile.

"Of course! After all, Teacher just got me an hour off my sword practice today!"

The next moment, Allen reached out and poked his face.

"Don't be fake. I really want to be friends with you."

Rudy froze.

Allen glanced at him, then turned to leave. As he was leaving the room, he turned his head and said.

"I'll help you make a shrine tomorrow. And I'll keep the underwear thing a secret for you."

Rudy's eyes lit up.

"Okay!"

Smoky text appeared before Allen's eyes.
