Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Luo Ya glanced at the other person, but didn't speak or nod.

This was a tacit agreement, and seeing this, everyone felt a huge weight lifted from their hearts, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, several heavy footsteps came from the stairs again. Roya glanced over and saw that they were Lajus's companions, Iveria and Gagran.

Gegrand still had that same muscular build, with no trace of femininity, as strong as a brown bear.

Wearing that mask, Iveriai fixed her gaze on Roya almost the instant she came downstairs.

"Oh, you two are finally down. Iver, go and explain to the chairman just how terrifying that thing was, so that he doesn't start thinking about anything else."

Lajus's eyes lit up, and she beckoned to Iveria and gave her instructions.

Upon hearing this, Iveria nodded slightly, went directly to the guild leader, and forcibly dragged him out.

Gagland shrugged. She felt that there was no point in her big, clumsy guy just standing there, so she said to Lajus, "I'll go see what's going on."

Then she followed Lahoz out.

For a moment, only Roya and Lajus remained in the center of the living room.

Their eyes met again, and Roya could clearly sense that Lajus seemed to want to say something, but didn't know how to start.

Roya spoke first, "It seems you have something you want to tell me?"

Lajus was surprised for a moment, but she did not deny it. Instead, she smiled and said, "It seems that Father is right. I am not the kind of person who easily hides things. Indeed, I have something I would like to ask you, senior."

Lahoz emphasized the word "question," and her gaze sharpened.

However, Lajus maintained her respectful attitude towards Roya.

Roya smiled, already knowing what Lajus wanted to ask. Roya pointed upstairs and said, "It seems this isn't the place to talk. Let's go upstairs and discuss it."

The second floor has separate small rooms for guests to talk. Compared to the small village where Roya had stayed before, the guild in the capital is obviously more luxurious, with some simple soundproofing arrays.

"Yes, that's how it should be."

Lajus did not refuse and readily agreed to Roja's request.

The two then went upstairs together, leaving behind a group of adventurers looking at each other in bewilderment.

They naturally felt a little disappointed. They had thought they would get a decent piece of gossip this time, but it turned out to be all bark and no bite, with very little useful information obtained in the end.

However, Roya's appearance also confirmed many things for them, so it can be said that this trip was worthwhile.

————————————————————————————

Second floor, in the conference room.

The huge room contained only Roya and Lahas.

Luo Ya sat in the chair, leaning back lazily.

Lajus maintained a royal demeanor, sitting upright with sharp eyes fixed on Roya.

Luo Ya asked calmly, "Speak, what do you want to see me about?"

Lahoz nodded and earnestly voiced her doubts.

"Princess Lana died last night."

"Yes." Roya nodded, indicating that he already knew.

"I'd like to ask who might have done this?"

As Lahoz spoke, she stared intently at Roya, her clear, emerald-green eyes fixed on him.

Roya showed no stage fright whatsoever. Meeting those clear eyes, Roya pondered for a moment and said, "Lana has a problem, are you aware of that?"

Lahoz was silent for a moment, then slowly replied, "I know."

Roya smiled and continued, "You may know, but you probably don't know what's wrong with her, right? You don't understand Lana at all."

"What do you mean by that, senior?" Lajus pressed, her emerald eyes still fixed on Roya, her attitude seemingly a bit aggressive. But those who knew Lajus well knew that she simply liked to do it this way.

Roya then followed Lajus's words and said, "Lana is the mastermind behind this incident. If I say that, can you understand?"

Lahoz narrowed her eyes slightly, nodded, and then shook her head.

Luo Ya picked up the teacup on the table, poured a pot of tea into his own bowl, took a sip, and then slowly said, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"I just don't quite understand why you, senior, would kill the princess."

Lahoz expressed her thoughts in a heavy tone.

Roya was slightly surprised, and the teacup in his hand paused for a moment. Roya asked, "You knew it was me who did it?"

Lajus's response was equally straightforward: "I think you did it. The questions I asked earlier were just a test, but you really don't seem to be good at lying."

"Oh, is that so? But I have to refute your last statement. I'm quite good at lying, you know." Roya smiled, sizing up Lajus.

Luo Ya actually sensed a wisp of divine energy from the other party. This divine energy was wrapped around the other party and emitted a faint light.

Priests are a very magical profession. When a priest reaches a level like Lajus, they can begin to possess a kind of intuition.

This sixth sense-like feeling allows Lajus to develop a keen intuition when faced with certain lies.

Of course, this feeling was not accurate and was sometimes right and sometimes wrong, but even so, it made Lajus suspect Roya.

However, to be fair, Roya never intended to cover anything up in the first place.

"So, you already know that I killed him. Is there anything else you want to ask?" Roya said, a playful smile on his lips.

"I just want to ask, why not wait until the truth comes out before taking action? If Lana is really the enemy, she should have left more evidence, right? This evidence can be found with a little investigation, can't it?"

When Lahoz said this, there was no anger in her tone, but her gaze remained sharp.

Roya's smile gradually faded, and the young man sighed. He said with feigned helplessness, "If we wait until you find out the truth, I think it will be too late. On the other hand, since I consider her an enemy, why should I take care of her and keep her around for you?"

Lahoz remained silent, but her brows were still furrowed.

"You're really a bit old-fashioned. It seems you're a boring person too. Well, let's end this topic here. I thought you could say something interesting, but I didn't expect you to be just another idiot."

"Besides this, you idiot, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Lajus, who was called an idiot by Roja, showed no displeasure. She bowed respectfully.

"Can you help the kingdom, senior?"

Luo Ya's answer to this was also straightforward.

“I’m not going to do any messes. I don’t want to get involved in the behavior of you nobles. Besides, you can’t give me the bargaining chips I want. In fact, there’s not a single thing in the kingdom that I can stand.”

"Sigh." Lahoz sighed, her expression full of sorrow.

However, this sorrowful mood came and went quickly, and Lajus soon cheered up again. She then asked, "Where is Brian? Where is that swordsman? I need his help with something."

"He was taken to the Slane Theocracy by the Deathly Annihilation," Roya replied casually, seemingly unconcerned.

Upon hearing the name of Zesshi Zetsumei, Lahoz's expression changed instantly. Her previous composure turned tense, and her eyes regained their sharpness. She asked directly, "Zeshi Zetsumei has come to our country? Where is she? Why didn't you stop her, senior?"

Jue Si Jue Ming was infamous, and his unruly nature left people speechless.

Although he was hailed as the guardian of humanity, there were still too many conflicts between nations. His weapon of mass destruction, Zetsu Zetsumei, would be equivalent to a nuclear bomb in modern terms.

How could they not be shocked by the presence of a nuclear bomb within their own country?

In response to Lajus's barrage of questions, Roya waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "Let me answer your first question first. Zesshi Zesshi has already returned to the Slane Theocracy. As for why I didn't stop her, the reason is simple: she's already mine."

However, as soon as she said this, Lajus looked at Roya with a strange expression.

Luo Ya instantly realized the inappropriateness of his words, coughed lightly, and said, "It means becoming my apprentice, like Brian."

"Oh." Lajus nodded knowingly.

"Is everything alright now?"

"Nothing."

They seem to be here to cause trouble, but actually they just want to ask this question?

Luo Ya could easily assume that Lajus's previous words indicated that she was dissatisfied with his actions and wanted to take the opportunity to lash out.

But the other party maintained a humble demeanor and did not behave in any way that made Roya feel very uncomfortable.

If we follow the typical novel formula, he'd already be showing off and getting humiliated right now.

"Since there's nothing left, I'll be going now."

Roya gave Lajus a strange look, but he didn't say anything and went straight downstairs.

Lajus didn't leave the room with Roya. Instead, she pulled out a chair, sat down, and began to ponder.

——————————————————————————————

After bidding farewell to Lahoz, Roya began preparing information related to the Nameless Spellbook.

However, it is extremely difficult to find clues in such a short time. The kingdom is not well-established and has no detailed information on this matter. Even if it does, it is only a few words.

Luo Ya's investigation quickly stalled.

But the stalemate didn't last long, and the next day, Zesshi Zesshi brought Roya some good news.

"Does Master mean you want information about the Eight Desire Kings?" Zeshi Zemei tilted his head, lost in thought.

Her contemplation didn't last long; her furrowed brows quickly relaxed, and the girl happily said to Roya, "Yes, the Slane Theocracy happens to have records on this subject. May I ask what you wish to do, Master?"

"Oh, this? There's an item that might be useful to me, and I'd like to get my hands on it."
