Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

The secret between the Lord of Shadows and the witch who seeks forbidden secrets remains unknown.

For a period of time afterward.

The Sorcerer King stole the witch's underwear again, but I stole it back and have kept it safe for now.

I don't care about this thing at all. I just don't want it to be taken by disgusting guys to do disgusting things. With some strong desire, the underwear was actually sent into the barrier.

What's going on? The King's Treasury?

Anyway, the temporary saving was just an accident.

I meant no other than this.

The "King of the Children" among the three kings of our Buyena village has also grown up and is dissatisfied with her title of "King of the Children," so she has renamed herself "Elf King."

The king was delighted by Hilfi's growth.

"I understand. In that case, I will record you in my 'Shadow Epic' under the name of Elf King Hilfiet, and let this name be sung throughout the world."

"Thank you, big brother!!!" Little Sylphie, hands on her hips, puffed out her chest with pride!

"Great! Very energetic!" Wang responded enthusiastically to Xiao Xilufei.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Elf King!" Rudy, who was still just a knight and had not yet been formally crowned the Sorcerer King, knelt on one knee to offer his blessings to Sylphie.

Sylphie was so flustered by Rudy's actions that she lost her composure.

"Second brother, what are you doing?!"

Little Shilufi has turned back into a cute little girl.

Wang gently rubbed little Xilufei's face with both hands again.

Little Sylphie no longer blushes; she just giggles.

But if all you can do is giggle, you don't deserve the title of "King of Kids".

When I said I would teach those unruly people love and courage, I wasn't just saying it. Although I didn't personally push this through, I will teach Hilfi, and then Hilfi will teach her own underlings.

Yes, that's perfectly reasonable.

Anyway, I never intended for those guys to become my subordinates in the first place.

Nowadays, the work of the Child King, no, it should be the Elf King Silphie, has made significant progress.

The king's educational standards were not complicated.

Four lessons: courage, responsibility, respect, and mutual assistance.

Three bottom lines: Do not bully the weak, do not steal from others, and do not lie or shirk responsibility.

One goal: so that when people mention the village of Bouyena, they will say, "The children there are good."

I am not an educator, nor have I read many parenting guides, and even the morals from modern society are not suitable for this world.

But the king didn't want children like Hilfi to go through that again, so he sent Hilfi to teach those children—to teach them what is right and what is wrong. He taught them that the strong are not meant to bully the weak, but to protect them.

I don't know how much these children will learn.

We certainly don't expect these children to have the same moral standards as saints.

But at least they're better than the scoundrels of Konoha in Naruto.

Bullying peers when you're young might not seem serious because you're a child. But when those children grow up, they become adults who can influence society.

A child doesn't suddenly become an adult just because their body grows up.

At least now, a year later, Paul says that the village of Bouyena is better than before.

Everyone is happy for such a village.

The king rejoiced in the joy of all.

But time...

Children may feel that time passes slowly, but I am not a simple child after all. Six and a half years have not felt like a long time to me, and there are less than six years left before the Great Transfer.

Luo Qixi probably feels that there's nothing left for us to learn, and she's recently been considering leaving.

She had already demonstrated her only Saint-level magic, the Thunderous Cloud, to us before.

That's amazing magic.

It combines three attributes to manipulate the weather, thus creating a controllable natural phenomenon.

The general principle is to first use fire magic and wind magic to create a strong hot updraft, and then use water magic to generate water vapor in the updraft to form a cloud.

Then, wind magic is used to further increase the height of the clouds. As they rise in height, they collide with the cold air in the upper atmosphere, causing supercooling, which is how heavy rain is formed.

Lightning is formed when ice crystals, supercooled water, snow pellets, and water mist in the clouds constantly collide and rub against each other, generating electricity. When the accumulated charge reaches a threshold, it forms lightning.

This magic can cause immense damage to a city or army instantly when cast, and it is also Loki's most remarkable skill.

Although it's remarkable, I know it's still too powerless against the dangers I'll face in the future.

After all, the Nine-Headed Dragon, the Dragon God, the Sword God, the Water God, the Northern God, the God of War Armor, and the Undying Demon Clan are not opponents that can be dealt with by a mere Saint-level spell.

Wang is still weak, but his ability to improve conventional magic techniques is nearing its peak.

Swordsmanship training requires years of dedicated practice, and Wang would accept this method if the future looked bright.

But in less than six years, Wang was unable to focus on practicing swordsmanship.

A crazy magic idea surfaced in the king's mind.

That was the strongest attack method that humans could achieve in the previous life. It released a large amount of energy by causing atomic nuclei to split or fuse through collisions between atoms. It was the divine power that mortals mastered through their wisdom.

"If we succeed... can we kill God?"

"But creating magic requires experimentation, and experiments can't be conducted just anywhere. The ideal method is to experiment at sea."

"The nearest sea is the one that flows westward through the territory of Fitoa and further west into the Donadi territory, reaching the sea at the end of the world."

"This distance isn't far in the grand scheme of things; it's barely the distance from my house to my neighbor's."

"But that's still too outrageous for a six-year-old."

"But... I don't have time to stay in the village any longer."

There are many reasons I could think of to persuade Paul and Senis, but I can't be sure they'll agree...

"Anyway, let's talk about it tonight."

"Running away from home on your own is just too amazing..."

After finally making his decision, Wang sighed and then earnestly said to his younger brothers, "I have decided to take a short trip for the future, with the forbidden witch..."

Before the king could finish speaking, his bratty younger brother rudely interrupted him.

"Huh? Why? You're going to elope with Teacher Luo Qixi? I ​​won't accept it!!!"

"What else is in your head besides women?!"

Sylphie asked somewhat awkwardly, "What does eloping mean?"

Rudy continued to fan the flames: "It's about two people running away together and then getting married. Just like my parents!"

Little Xilufei was completely terrified: "Big brother is going to marry Teacher Luo Qixi?!"

The king, his veins bulging, declared: "It's not an elopement! It's a trip! A trip mainly for magical experiments! Along the way, I'll be acting as an adventurer for a while."

"What kind of magic?"

"I want to go too!"

"You are too young to be of much help; you will only slow down the progress."

"Don't leave me alone..."

"Isn't Rudy a human being?" Wang thought to himself.

"Actually, I think you could bring the two of us along, even if we're just third wheels. I'd really like to see it."

"..." Even the king was speechless. He never expected that the first step of setting off on a long journey would be so difficult.

After a brief silence, Wang reorganized his thoughts.

"Don't be so nervous. It's just for a short period of time, no more than half a year. I'll be back before your fifth birthday."

The tone was much gentler, but it wasn't a tone of discussion; it was a notification.

"I'll talk to my parents and Luo Qixi about it at dinner."

"What? You haven't told Mom and Dad yet. I thought you were leaving soon."

"..." The sensible Hilfi didn't say anything, but deep down she still didn't want everyone to be separated.

【night】

The originally lively atmosphere at the dinner table dissipated after the king's announcement.

"No! You're still so young!" That was Senis's voice.

"A six-year-old adventurer? Are you crazy? I..."

Paul's first reaction was to refuse, but he stopped before he could finish saying it.

Although he usually acts like a fool and laughs around, Paul's aura as the head of the family also emerged at this moment.

Everyone fell silent and looked at Paul.

"Can you explain your reasons? If it's just a spur-of-the-moment decision, I will never agree."

"You all say I'm amazing, and I know I am amazing, but I need to know exactly how good I am. I also need some battles to fully master magic and find out where I'm lacking."

We can also make some money on the side; the tuition for the three of us at magic university is quite a sum. And if we make a name for ourselves as geniuses, we might get admitted through a special exception.

Teacher Luo Qixi is probably planning to leave too. With Luo Qixi leading the way, I won't encounter any major danger.

In short, the timing is perfect.

The king did not reveal the matter of experimenting with magic.

No one spoke. Senis looked at Paul with a complicated expression, while Paul stood with his arms crossed, still deep in thought.

After a long silence, Paul spoke again.

"I understand. Your reasons are valid, and I get it. Play a serious match with me tomorrow. If you perform poorly, no matter what you say, I won't agree."

Dinner ended in an odd silence.

No one spoke. Senis kept her head down, repeatedly poking at the remaining half-eaten bread on her plate with her fork, leaving small holes in it. Paul leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought. Rudy, unusually, didn't peek at Loki, but instead stared at his empty plate in front of him, his expression complex.

Luo Qixi sat in the far corner, holding a teacup that had long since gone cold, without saying a word.

Lilia moved much more gently than usual when clearing the dishes, as if she was afraid of breaking something.

Finally, it was I, the king, who broke the silence first.

"I'm full, I'm going back to my room now."

At night, I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, pondering tactics.

Rudy tossed and turned beside him, making a mess of the blankets. Neither of them spoke, but neither could fall asleep.

"Feed," Rudy said first.

"Um."

"Are you really leaving?"

"……Um."

Why?

"Didn't I already say that?"

"I feel like you're still hiding something."

Wang fell silent.

This kid's... intuition, but I'm hiding too much.

"Then tell me, what have I been hiding?"

"……have no idea."

Rudy's voice was muffled, as if it were being squeezed out from under the covers.

"Anyway, I will be back."

Rudy did not reply.

But Wang heard him mutter softly in the darkness, "...It's settled."
