Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

"Perhaps I should have taken Parkus more seriously..."

"..."

"..."

"This isn't your fault, teacher... It's just that I had too high expectations for him... and then I prematurely became disappointed..."

"But shouldn't those be my responsibilities as a teacher? You kids are all too...perfect, making me unconsciously compare you to Parkus..."

"That's not your fault, teacher..."

"..."

"Teacher Loki is only responsible for teaching him magic. As a prince, his education isn't solely your responsibility... There are so many teachers in the palace..."

"..."

"I was too... arrogant... Perhaps... as the seventh prince, he wasn't expected to achieve much by his family... I thought I could ignore the environment around me and forcibly change him, always demanding more of him... In the end, it only made our relationship worse and worse..."

"..."

"My older brother once said that what a person becomes is definitely related to their living environment, education, and upbringing... and we are just passersby in his life... perhaps he needs to encounter something very important to him before he will change..."

"That's right... we were just passing by, but even though we were just passing by, showing a little more kindness... might make a difference... It's always the last straw that breaks the camel's back... There are many strangers around us who suffer misfortune, and we don't know what they've been through or what they're thinking. If we can treat others with more kindness... maybe..."

"But... I can't bear to see him doing those awful things..."

Do I have to praise him?

There are still so many people struggling to make ends meet...

Despite having such a comfortable life, he still derives pleasure from harming others out of selfishness...

I don't know why, but thinking about this makes me want to cry.

"Sylphie? Why are you crying? It's not your fault..."

"I...I don't know why..."

Why?

[Luo Qixi's Perspective]

Ugh......

This is giving me a headache...

Looking at Sylphie, who was holding me in my arms with tears streaming down her face, I really had a headache...

She said she didn't know why she was crying...

But even without mind reading, one can guess it.

She's just too gentle and too kind.

Even though she was disliked by others because of her hair, she always went out of her way to help those in need on the street...

and......

She took her expectations of Parkus as her responsibility. Parkus didn't become what she hoped for... and she first questioned herself...

She's always looking for problems within herself...

She and Trevor are somewhat similar in this respect...

But it doesn't seem quite the same...

Trevor only reflects on his own problems when dealing with kind people; he shows absolutely no mercy to those who do bad things...

If it were Trevor, he would likely attribute the situation entirely to Pacus's own fault, and then treat Pacus more violently in an attempt to correct him...

But I can't tell which of the two of them is right...

Thinking about these children, I even began to doubt whether I was qualified as a teacher.

Because I discovered that even as teachers, Hilfi and Trevor were better than me.

When Hilfi was in Buena Village, she could manage a group of kids perfectly well, and she was even more dedicated to teaching Pacus than he was...

Although Trevor always acted as a hands-off parent, he clearly valued moral education more than academic knowledge...

But I'm not as serious as they are in either of those two areas...

Although I was not jealous of my students like Master Genus was.

But I can't help feeling a little lost; being called a teacher always makes me feel increasingly...ashamed...

Trevor said: A teacher's role is to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts...

But all I'm good at is magic and adventurer knowledge...

Furthermore, I had already taught them all my magical knowledge long ago, and these children were always one step ahead of me, often requiring them to teach me in reverse.

These kids are very talented; they're sure to become extraordinary people in the future.

As for professions, adventurers and the like are simply not their future...

Ironically, it was me, an unambitious guy, who got lucky and became their teacher.

Compared to their dreams, my own dreams are simply too shameful to even mention...

Most importantly, I couldn't answer all the questions that were swirling in their minds...

"sorry......"

"Sylphie? Why are you saying sorry?"

I should be the one apologizing...

"My older brother said... a real man shouldn't shed tears in front of others..."

"No... I think... tears shed for others... are a different matter... and... you're a girl..."

"Pfft~!"

Hilfi seemed to finally realize what she had just said, and immediately dived into the water. Was she shy?

It took her quite a while to float to the surface.

Sylphie, blushing all the while, was so much cuter than Trevor. That guy always loved to tease me and drag me into embarrassing situations in public...

"...It's all my brother's fault that I've ended up like this..."

"Yes! It's all his fault!"

When I pulled Silphie into my arms, I realized how much she had grown. Before, when we were sitting together leaving the village, I could even rest my chin on her head.

Now all we can see is her short green hair. Actually... green hair is quite pretty...

And those abs on her stomach...

It feels so nice to touch...

I should probably exercise more and shouldn't eat too many sweets...

"Although the teacher's performance this time was quite unsuccessful, at least we will have more experience next time we are teachers."

"Let's forget about it, Ms. Luo Qixi. Being a teacher is too tiring. Besides, this whole thing was so embarrassing. Who knows if we'll ever get another chance to teach royalty... Let's focus on getting ready and conquering the dungeon..."

"Hahaha......"

yes......

His own apprentice beat the prince to tears in such a humiliating way...

We're definitely on every royal family's blacklist by now...

What happens after you conquer the maze?

My original dream was to meet my Prince Charming in a maze.

But......

With Sylphie by our side, the two of us kids simply couldn't find anyone else to team up with...

And we probably don't need to team up with anyone else, the two of us should be able to succeed on our own, right?

Not to mention the equipment Trevor sent...

And I can't answer the questions that Hilfi has in her heart, because I've never even considered those things...

So, should we take her to Trevor?

I wonder what Trevor looks like now...
