Jobless Reincarnation: Sword, Magic Hat and Romance System

Chapter 17 Departure: Paul's Daily Life with His First and Second Wives

Rudy's healing spells weren't at the intermediate level yet, and considering that the matter couldn't be kept secret any longer, Allen didn't use his healing spell runes. Instead, he apologetically asked Senis to heal his hand.

Paul, on the other hand, looked at the bed frame with amazement.

Then he turned to look at Allen.

"Did you exert yourself this much in your dream? Now that you're cured, let's go practice swordsmanship and release some of our excess energy."

"...Please, Paul, leave me alone!"

Allen silently rolled his eyes at him.

"Sir, today I'd like to accompany Rudy to see the plants around the village of Buena."

Paul and Rudy both looked at him with surprise.

"Looking at plants is nowhere near as exciting as wielding a sword!"

"Practice makes perfect sense. He said he wanted to be friends with me last night, and he wants to make it happen today? He's so impatient. Well, I guess I'll bring a little one along today, since he did me a favor yesterday and even kept the sacred object a secret for me."

Allen didn't speak, he just watched Paul quietly.

Paul blinked, glanced at Rudy, then at Allen.

"I almost forgot this kid is only nine years old. It's nice that he's friends with Rudy. It's a pity, I'm a bit lonely today. Oh, wait, Senis probably isn't going to the clinic to help out today. Lilia's going to the market to do some shopping. Hehe, no one's home. It's been a while since I've left Senis on the kitchen stove."

Senis glanced at Paul with a puzzled look, then suddenly realized what was happening and unconsciously squeezed Allen's hand even tighter.

"Haha. I see. Okay, you guys go ahead, but remember not to go too deep into the forest, there are monsters there."

At this point, Paul, who was grinning lewdly, paused and involuntarily glanced at Allen.

"It's fine if Allen comes along. You guys go ahead, just remember to come back early tonight."

Rudy looked at Paul's face, his lips twitching.

"Hey, Mr. Paul, your thoughts are written all over your face, and there are outsiders here!"

Rudy turned to look at Allen.

The latter stared blankly at his hands.

"It's less about completing a mission and more about using the mission countdown to give me a sense of urgency. Being bullied in my past life at the orphanage was something similar; it's the kind of thing you selectively forget. I wonder if the current Hilfi has short hair? Last night's dream was probably just a reflection of what I've been thinking about during the day."

After breakfast, the three family members saw the two children to the door. Just as they were about to leave, Rudy turned his head to look at Allen.

"Do you want to go somewhere far away today, or closer to the village area?"

Allen stroked his chin.

"It seems that Hilfi's father goes hunting in the forest. Sometimes he and Paul take turns keeping watch on the forest monsters from the tower at the edge of the village. If Hilfi was bringing him food, the place where she was bullied must be somewhere between the village and the tower; the forest is to the north of the village."

"Go north from outside the village, into the forest, and stay in this area."

Rudy blinked.

"He has a clear goal; he's a resourceful little rascal."

He turned to look at Paul.

"Father, we'll be moving between the village and the forest to the north. If we don't return by tonight, we've definitely been involved in something. Please follow this route to find us."

"No need to report. There are no monsters or people around Buena Village that can threaten me, and today, it's probably safer for you to stay with me than at your house."

Rudy blinked and looked up at Paul. Paul glanced absentmindedly at Senis's legs beside him. He had definitely heard what she said, but he didn't react in any particular way.

Then he turned to look at Allen, who was still deep in thought, as if the somewhat arrogant words he had just spoken had not come from his own mouth.

'This guy's strength seems to have been completely acknowledged by Paul; his words even subtly implied that he was stronger than Paul, and Paul didn't refute it.'

"No, the premise he's making is that Paul and Senis are having a baby today, so they won't have the energy to care about us. Is it safer to stay with him?"

"Yeah, this guy's expression was so calm when he saw the underwear, and as an adventurer, he should be quite skilled at this kind of thing. Damn, I'm so jealous! So he instantly understood what Paul wanted to do with Senis. Maybe his sudden suggestion to go out with me today was because he noticed that Paul hadn't been intimate with Senis at night since he arrived, trying to be mindful of appearances. So he might be deliberately facilitating their relationship."

He's more mature than I imagined.

"Alright, in that case, let's set off."

"Be careful on the road!"

Senis gave a cheerful farewell.

After the two figures had walked away, Lilia glanced at Paul and Senis, then bowed.

"Then I'll go to the market to buy some things, sir and madam."

"Okay~ I heard that the old lady at the northernmost end of the market picks particularly fresh mushrooms. Could you please walk a little further and buy some?"

Lilia glanced at Senis, who was smiling and making the request, nodded in agreement, and then turned and left.

A moment after Lilia left, Paul and Senis broke free from their petrified state. Paul pulled Senis into his arms, his hands wandering restlessly inside her skirt, while Senis wrapped her legs around Paul's body, their faces locked together.

"Darling, you've been so reserved ever since that child came. You don't even..."

"After all, he's Philip's child. With him in our house, I always feel like Philip's around. But we've gotten to know each other better these past few days. What do kids know?"

".good."

Paul lifted Senis up with both hands, and she straddled his arms as they moved into the house.

With a bang, the door slammed shut.

Before long, faint noises drifted out the window, with no intention of suppressing the sound at all.

Because the houses in the village are far apart, no one would eavesdrop on their conversations, and nowadays it's rare to find anyone home.

"Darling, please don't do this. Ah."

"What do you mean, 'don't'? Hmm?"

"Annoying"

"The unpleasant things are just beginning, be prepared!"

"Darling, that's it. That's right."

Outside the courtyard gate, Lilia leaned against the wall, her brows furrowed as if in great pain, the basket in her hand having fallen to the ground at some point.

She spread her hands apart at her sides, one hand reaching up to adjust the maid's shirt, and the other hand reaching down to lift the maid's skirt.

He slowly squatted down.

After all, the houses were far apart, so no one could see the corner of the wall in front of Grerat's house.
