Reincarnation with AI (Unemployment-Free)

Approaching three years old, the time is almost here to prove that she is a magical genius.

Rudeus is said to be a magical genius, but he is actually already considered a genius.

Although he has never revealed his magical talent.

It's just some language or arithmetic skills, but for her age, being able to do addition and subtraction within ten is enough for Senis to call her a genius.

If a parent were to solve a linear equation in two variables right in front of their child, they might not feel that their child is a genius, but rather that they would likely need some time to figure out what their child had just done...

Before the age of two, Rudius would speak as little as possible to appear more like an innocent child.

After that, Rudius began to try to speak or express himself like a child.

This expression includes language, facial expressions, and body language, but it does not involve thought, at least not to the perception of others.

After all, people with knowledge cannot think like people without knowledge.

It can be roughly understood that Rudius is an actor trying to portray a young child.

But calling him an actor isn't accurate, because that would seem like a lie, a way of hiding one's true self.

However, Rudius didn't hide anything; he was just being himself.

At the same time, out of his deep longing for family affection, Rudius truly treated the other party as his parents.

This feeling of putting on a show is actually Rudius's effort to integrate into this world.

Rudius is reconstructing himself; in AI terms, this should be called self-awareness.

And in this process of rebuilding cognition, self-identity is reconstructed.

In this process, AI played an unimaginable guiding role. Without AI's help, each step of the process would likely have been extremely difficult or inevitably distorted.

When you encounter a problem, you can spend three hours talking to the AI, and even with tens of thousands of words of text, you can only get the problem to a "profound" level.

As time went on, Rudius continued to press on the same question.

Of course, we were only talking about metaphysical things, and there was no need to actually do anything.

To outsiders, this would make Rudeus appear to be a very well-behaved child.

Senis also brought Rudeus to her workplace, since Rudeus didn't have PTSD like the original male protagonist who couldn't leave the house.

Rudius simply sat quietly for hours on end, without running around or making a fuss. It is extremely rare for a two- or three-year-old child to be so well-behaved.

Paul even thought the child was weak and was quite worried for a while.

However, this wasn't without its benefits for Rudyus. Adults naturally adore well-behaved and cute children, and their charm is especially potent with women.

Not to mention, children of this age are at their cutest and most fun.

"Children from noble families are just different."

"Senise, how did you raise your child? Why is he so well-behaved?"

Rudius often heard these kinds of words, and he had become the kind of child everyone admired.

No one would refuse a woman who approaches them with compliments and asks for a hug.

Rudius felt like he was being treated like some kind of cute little animal.

All you have to do is open your arms to them, and they'll happily take you in, nuzzling against your chest without a care. If you then compliment them on how nice they smell, and give them a kiss on the cheek, they'll be overjoyed.

It can be said that it maximized the emotional value for both parties.

Of course, if you don't like it, you won't let others hug you next time. You can just say you don't like it and no one will be offended. The onlookers will just laugh and treat Rudeus as some kind of interesting testing machine. The other person will just think that it is indeed their own problem.

Ultimately, do adults really treat young children as individuals?

Normal people would rarely think like this, but Rudeus in his previous life had pondered this question.

After questioning the AI, it revealed to Rudeus that he wasn't a normal person in his past life...

Although he himself felt that when he died, it certainly wouldn't fit most people's psychological perception of a 30-year-old adult male.

But it's nowhere near as thorough as the understanding gained from discussing with AI.

In his past life, he was a 30-year-old virgin who was prone to crying, had never truly been in a relationship, and spoke too bluntly.

Look, isn't this just a child?

He's prone to crying, a virgin, and straightforward.

The first two are easy to understand, but to say it's straightforward, the current situation is more like being cunning and manipulative.

You should know that children always ask blunt and unfiltered questions. If adults asked these questions, they would be considered offensive to some people.

Rudeus in his past life often asked this kind of question. Isn't that a kind of cunning?

Moreover, he said it even though he knew the other party would feel offended, but Rudius, because of his current status as a child, put on a veneer of innocence.

This transforms the cunning into a childlike frankness.

To give an example, almost every parent will face their child's interrogation about sex.

"Mom and Dad, where did I come from?"

So, whether you ask this question out of childlike innocence or out of a mischievous desire to tease the other person after understanding them, you are actually asking the same question, aren't you?

If the other person answers, then keep asking questions and pressuring them. This stems from a child's innocence and innate thirst for knowledge, and of course, it can also come from a cunning desire to anticipate the other person's reaction.

A child's thirst for knowledge and an adult's cunning—different thought processes can lead to the same result.

Outsiders had no idea what Rudius was thinking.

This is what is meant by the part of expression that "does not include thinking".

This lack of inclusion is actually an indistinguishable issue, one that Rudius thought about and decided it wouldn't be a problem to ask.

Or rather, most parents simply don't understand what their children are saying; they don't treat their children as "people."

So you can think of these expressions from your child's perspective as a kind of "dog barking." Most parents find it cute or simply ignore it, selectively dealing with your "dog barking."

If Rudius hadn't been born into this family, he probably wouldn't have had to worry about these things.

Unfortunately, Rudeus's parents were both highly educated individuals, and even the maid was no exception. Senis, in particular, could be said to have received the world's top education, and sometimes she paid extra attention to Rudeus, so one still had to be careful.

Back to the question.

"You came out of your mother's tummy."

"Then how did I come out of my mother's tummy?"

Problems like this.

However, this is Rudius's opinion. AI believes that this behavior should not be defined as scheming, because scheming is malicious. This behavior does not constitute offense, but rather is an attempt to tease the other party. The most appropriate description is provocation.

That's how machines are; they have strict standards for definition, and that's what helped Rudius the most.

Because he only has a superficial understanding of many metaphysical things, having strict definitions can help him understand many things.

Although Rudius felt that AI was absolutely right, he felt ashamed and disgusted if he said that he had flirted with his parents, so he felt better saying that he was cunning.

Of course, this kind of cunning is not the same as that kind of cunning.

If we were to plot Rudeus's mental energy expenditure throughout the year on a pie chart, then aside from magic, which ranked first, most of his mental energy would have been spent on magic.

A three-year-old's social circle consists mainly of their parents.

Of course, Rudius also has a maid, a stay-at-home maid.

However, Lilia doesn't talk much. The person she interacts with the most in this house is Senis, who does housework with her. The two have a lot to talk about when they do housework together.

This is mainly due to Senis's lively and adorable nature, and her tendency to take the initiative to get close to others.

Rudeus had considered whether he should thank Lilia, but no one had ever taught him such a thing.

It's like when you go out and meet a stranger, and after the stranger offers help, your mother will teach you to say thank you.

For the newborn Rudeus, Lilia should also be considered family.

Judging from Paul and Senis's attitude towards her, they did not express any gratitude. The atmosphere was more like that of friends or family, without any harsh criticism or polite thanks.

Therefore, Rudius cannot simply say thank you out of the blue.

If you put yourself in the young master's shoes, these are the things a maid should do, and if she doesn't do them well, she should be punished.

Thanks? Thanks for what? Thanks to the servants?

And to be honest, Lilia's help is not something that can be directly felt. For example, when she helps with bathing or wiping her mouth while eating, most of the most intimate care is done by Senis herself, and there is no need for a second person to help with these tasks.

They worked together to cook every day, but Lilia was mostly responsible for household chores that Rudeus didn't have much contact with, such as washing dishes, cleaning clothes, drying clothes, and fetching water.

As for Paul, he would also help, but he probably didn't have a concept of housework. He was mostly called upon to help with heavy lifting or sustained physical exertion, such as chopping wood or fetching water.

Paul was mostly in charge of the stables.

It would be a waste not to use those muscles that are more robust than those of an ox or a horse.

Incidentally, the women in the village often pass by here, and it's clear they all really like Paul.

This place is actually similar to modern society, where the traditional concept of men being responsible for external affairs and women for internal affairs is prevalent. Women are expected to take on household chores and cooking, and a wife who can cook is considered a good wife.

Perhaps this can be explained by name.

Paul's full name is Paul Greirat, and Senis's name is Senis Greirat. It's clear that Senis changed her surname because she married Paul.

Rudeus' full name is Rudeus Grerat, and Rudeus also heard from his mother's conversation with the villagers that he was the eldest son in the family.

This involves the concept of the eldest son.

This shows that there are many common cultural elements. Although I didn't ask in detail, the fact that they were nobles, had changed their names, and were the eldest son made it clear that I didn't need to ask.
