Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

I don't know if it's because of me or something else, but Lord Rudius has a lot of crooked ideas.

I only taught him eye-gouging, groin kicking, toe stomping, and some Ashina-style tactics—no, in this world it should be called Kitakami-style.

In short, Lord Rudyus took practical instruction far too seriously.

It makes me feel like Rudius wishes he were Sylphie and could fight this duel himself.

In addition to teaching magic tricks such as water shot, wind cannon, earth bullets, mud swamps, and earthen walls, he also taught tactics.

"First, use earth and stone walls to elevate yourself, then stand on high ground and attack from above, making it easy to fool idiots. Even if someone tries to get close, you can use earth magic to create fine ash to scatter in their eyes. If you have enough magic power, you can elevate yourself again and create a mud pit around yourself to slow down the opponent's movement..."

However, this is for the best, because that's how I intend to train them anyway. Only with thorough preparation will the cat cart not be pushed up.

The appointed day has finally arrived. Next up is "The Three Brothers of Buyena Village VS. Gian's Delinquent Army!"

Although normally, generally, and in most cases, only Sylphie would take action.

But no one expected that Gian would have so many henchmen; it was as if all the delinquents in the village had been gathered together.

If Hilfi is in danger, I will stand up to protect my beloved brother, even if it means abandoning my royal duty.

Hilfi stood in front of Rudy and me, with her back to us.

I couldn't see her expression, but I could see her clenched little fists trembling. It wasn't the kind of trembling that comes from being "a little nervous," it was the kind where her teeth were grinding and her shoulders were shaking.

Is it fear?

No! It's not just fear, it's courage too!

Even though she was terrified, Hilfi still stepped forward!

Even if this matter only started because of my verbal agreement, challenging them was not her original intention.

I'm sorry, I underestimated you, Sylphie! Beneath your gentle heart, you too possess the qualities to be a king!

"Hilfi, don't be afraid anymore! You are my brother! You are someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with me, and nothing will change that, no matter what happens in the future!"

The king has abandoned all formalities and is determined to protect his beloved younger brother! He will not allow her to suffer any harm!

"Can't I be a younger sister...?"

"The weak always follow the will of the strong! If one day you become stronger than me, I'll be your little sister, not just any little sister! As for now... you're still the little brother."

Hilfi's trembling figure stopped, and after a helpless sigh, she rallied and crossed her arms.

It might be imitating my appearance, but you can still sense a resemblance.

Although he was only three years old, his imposing manner made it seem as if he were the one being challenged, and the Gian's army seemed to have come to witness the birth of a new king.

Fat Tiger and his underlings arrived in front of the three brothers. The three brothers were not tall, but their imposing presence on the slope completely overwhelmed Fat Tiger's army.

Whether it was because of the hot weather or because he was too fat, Fat Tiger was drenched in sweat, but when he arrived, he just stood there and did nothing.

That's true, how can we expect children in the countryside to know much about etiquette?

The tallest of the three brothers, I, spoke first: "You! Are you ready?"

"Hmm...it's done..."

It seems that Fat Tiger doesn't have much confidence.

So I responded loudly again, "I understand! But I'll give you one last reminder! You must bear the consequences of every decision you make!" After a brief pause, "Then—let's begin!"

At my command, Fat Tiger and the others all knelt down!

???

Kneeling down in unison?

What happened?

Wang was momentarily confused, but simply maintained his posture, waiting for the situation to develop further.

"What do you mean?" asked Silphie, her face full of confusion.

I sighed inwardly for Silphie.

You're still too young. If you lose your momentum at a time like this, you'll be at a disadvantage. Let me, the king, save the day.

"Speak," the king's voice was deep and authoritative. "Did you surrender without a fight?"

"That's right... we're here to admit defeat."

"What's the reason?"

"I...I saw it...you all have magic."

"What's the reason?"

"You are the children of the village knight..."

"What's the reason?"

"We are no match for you..."

"..."

"Understood."

The king is furious!

"How dare you people call yourselves men!"

To say that we are from the same village is an insult to me, Trevor Greirat!

Look at your pathetic state! You've completely disgraced the village of Buena!

Look at the girl you're bullying! How beautiful, how kind, how brave she is!

You bunch of scoundrels! How dare you be my subordinates!

I hereby declare!

From now on, she will be the leader of the children in Buena Village—Silufeyete!

Do you understand?

Only the three of us can make the village of Buyena proud!

Therefore, you all must obey the orders of the three of us!

The grass was completely silent.

"Did you understand?!"

Trevor's voice still echoed in the wind, like an invisible hammer blow striking everyone's heart.

"I...I understand..." came the scattered voice.

But the king was still not satisfied.

"Sylphie! Go! Slap the person who bullied you twice!!!"

Hilfi paused for a moment.

After sniffling a little, he found the people who always bullied him, one after another. He slapped each one twice, and although he seemed to use all his strength, the strength of a three-year-old child is still not very great.

After completing the mission, Silphie seemed to have finally said goodbye to her past weakness. With red eyes, she turned her head and looked at me again. Although she seemed to be crying, she was smiling.

"Big brother..."

Looking at Hilfi, the king's anger completely dissipated, and he returned a smile.

But the smile was returned to little Sylphie; after turning his gaze back to the group of children, the king once again shouted angrily.

"That's why I hate you all!"

Why don't you dare to resist my tyranny!

That child is so kind, why did you have to bully her!

Even your surrender wasn't because you recognized your mistakes!

You surrendered because you were afraid of me!

You despicable people! You only know how to look down on me!

It is a disgrace to the three of us to be your king!

Listen, children of Bouyena!

Your king now intends to bring royal order to his domain!

So that those who become my brothers in the future will no longer suffer humiliation!

May you also gain love and courage through the King's teachings!

Fat Tiger knelt on the ground, sweat and tears mingling and dripping from his chin into the soil. What he was thinking was unknown to the king.

His underlings were in even worse shape; some were already crying, some were trembling with their heads down, and a few of the younger ones were so frightened by his imposing presence that they didn't even dare to breathe.

In short, the three brothers from Buyena Village had lost interest in the matter and turned to leave.

----------------------------

Gian, who was crying his eyes out

Does anyone know how I've been these past few days?

When I got beaten up, I immediately gathered all my brothers to get revenge!

Then I turned around and saw that you almost burned the sky down all by yourself!

You said you could kill us all in one go, and it turns out you weren't just bluffing...

I went home and told my parents, but my mom beat me up first before taking me to see his parents!

You should have told me your dad was a village knight!

Your dad cornered my mom and brought her back. When my dad found out about this, he beat both my mom and me up!

I live in fear every day, fearing that you might kill me on a whim.

Today I'm prepared to get a good beating. I just want you to bully us and vent your anger, just like I used to bully others.

It wasn't until the very end that I realized that my self-righteous bullying of the weak was nothing more than a shameful act of weakness in his eyes.

In his eyes, we are not even as good as a three-year-old girl.

It's really embarrassing.

----------------------------

Walking home, I'm getting happier and happier the more I think about it.

Was it seen when he released the Scorching Release: Gale Blaze Vortex Storm - Type 1?

Never mind, that's not the important thing. The important thing is us three brothers. No, we're not three brothers anymore, we're three kings!

Lord of Shadows - Trevor Grellatt

The Sorcerer King - Rudeus Grellat

The King of Children - Hilfiet

Although the title of "King of the Kids" was somewhat deceptive, he hadn't really decided what kind of "King" he wanted to be.

Anyway, let her decide on the title herself later.

I'll write it into my epic story after I've thought it through. How could I let Sylphie be remembered for eternity with such a ridiculous title as the "King of Children"?

The Shadow Lord rejoiced at having gathered three kings together.

----------------------------

Although Sylphie, who was following behind, had a red face, she had long since stopped crying, though she still had some snot in her nose.

I heard it then.

I heard every single word.

"How beautiful! How kind! How brave she is!!!"

My eyes suddenly welled up with tears again.

It wasn't because he was praised—although it was indeed the first time someone had praised him like that—but because of Trevor's expression when he said those words.

The older brother who always acted profound, mature, and regal—the anger on his face at that moment was genuine. He wasn't acting; he wasn't maintaining any persona.

He was genuinely angry for himself.

He really considered himself... a younger brother...

The King of Children rejoiced for his older brother, the King of Shadows.

----------------------------

Rudius, who was following behind, also remained silent.

He remembered his past life, how he was bullied and humiliated, which turned him into a NEET, someone he looked down on.

A second chance at life is so precious. Although I had long ago made up my mind to live the life I dream of this time, I couldn't even bring myself to take the first step out of my house.

The one who forcefully pulled him along was the "childish older brother" walking in front.

Helping Sylphie fight against bullying was the first step I genuinely wanted to take, which is why I was so serious and attentive to Sylphie's teaching.

Although today's events didn't go according to plan at all, but...

"If only I had this older brother back then..."

shook his head.

"Don't think about such pointless things, I already have it."

The Sorcerer King was also happy to have a brother like the Shadow King.
