Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation: Succubus Sword God? I don't recognize it!

It was obvious that Alan hated this 'family', but for some reason, he subconsciously avoided any intersection with the 'mother' who was the only one who had a good impression of him, so he made way in advance.

Did he dislike his biological mother? Or did Philip and Sauros' attitude make him hate the whole of Boreas?

These thoughts quickly flooded into Rudy's mind. This was an aspect that he had never noticed before, but Rudy had no idea what Allen was really thinking. After all, the latter was also a time traveler like him.

If he realized this, he might have similar 'helpless' emotions if he imagined Hilda as Senis, whom he had never seen since birth and who suddenly appeared from the sky and shed tears for him.

He may feel Senis's kindness, but he cannot easily transform this kindness into maternal love.

Just like Alan at this moment, he could feel that she was the only adult in the Boreas family who had pure kindness towards him.

But Alan couldn't feel the mother's love.

Even in his previous life, he had never felt maternal love.

He didn't know how to respond to this somewhat 'strange' kindness from a stranger.

"Alan is only eleven years old after all. He is so mature that I always forget his age. Is his will as strong as I thought this time? Can I help him instead?"

A variety of thoughts flashed through his mind, and in Rudy's sight, Alan turned around and moved behind Alice.

at this time.

Hilda's voice came from behind.

"you."

Rudy turned his head sharply.

In his sight, Hilda's expression actually had a hint of apology. Her eyes swept across everyone, but Rudy still clearly felt that her gaze lingered on Alan's face for a moment.

she says.

"I'm sorry. I was just thinking about something else and I was a little emotional. You are all guests who have come from far away. As the host, I shouldn't be like this, especially when my dear is not at home."

"Let's have lunch together later. There's a lot of food, and I should treat you. Father won't be eating with us today, so there's no need to be so particular about the rules."

Alice suddenly cheered.

Rudy heard a sigh.

From Hilda's mouth.

Obviously very short.

But he felt in his heart

Some are too long.

-

Miss Alice was very happy. Hilda's invitation was completely unexpected to her because no outsiders had ever been to their dinner table.

She immediately decided to give up looking in the library and instead take everyone out for dinner.

The special restaurant where Boreas's "family dinner" was held was extremely luxurious, with a crystal ceiling and candlelights, a dining table that was almost long enough for a nest of Alices to crawl into, a tablecloth made of fine silk, and the plates used to serve the meals were mostly made of silver, gleaming brightly by the floor-to-ceiling windows.

There were all kinds of meat on the table, but there was almost no common pork. Instead, there were some rare wild birds and fish.

The bread is sweeter and fluffier than that of Buena Village. It is cut into pieces and placed on the plate for easy taking, and the pores in the cross-section are very fine.

Fresh wild vegetables are made into soup and served in small bowls on each person’s left hand side.

There was also wine and some special drinks on the table.

The biggest difference from Buena Village is.

There are all kinds of spices and condiments that are hard to name, coming from all over the world. These "small details" are the symbol of the power and wealth of the nobility.

Alan and Rudy sat upright at the table.

Sylphy next door was wiping Gileno's saliva.

Each person is accompanied by a beast maid.

Hilda on the opposite side was stirring the vegetable soup in front of her slowly with a spoon, her movements were very graceful, while Alice next to her was letting the beast girl tear the bread for her and looking around happily.

"Eat quickly! What are you waiting for?!"

No one moved.

Hilda looked at Alice lovingly and smiled.

"Please enjoy your meal. You're welcome."

After he finished speaking, Alan picked up the spoon and stirred the vegetable soup in front of him.

Rudy glanced at Alan's calm movements, then tasted the meat on the table. The aristocratic table food, which was completely different from the food in Buena Village, made him a little curious.

Gilenu buried his head in his food.

Hilda smiled and looked at everyone's reactions before speaking casually.

"Alice has a short temper, so please take good care of her. You should be not much older than her, so I'm sure you will be able to get along with her better than the previous teachers."

Finally, he set his eyes on Allen's face.

Hilda had long since realized where that strange feeling of familiarity came from.

——This child reminded her subconsciously of her eldest son in the royal capital.

The other party seemed to be the "leader" of the three tutors. Even with Alice's difficult personality, she already recognized him after just one night of getting along with him...

She was a little curious.

I also have some good feelings towards her.

Alan replied while looking at the spoon in his hand.

"Of course she should. Miss Alice is actually very cute. She is just a little straightforward. I'm sure she will be a well-educated noblewoman when she grows up."

After hearing this, Alice nodded proudly without even swallowing the bread in her mouth, but suddenly she choked.

Hilda held out her hand to calm him.

"Thank you for your good words. Compared to the long-eared girl and the young master of the Paul family, you seem to be more mature. I heard that you are an adventurer?"

"Yes."

"How old are you?"

"Eleven years old."

Hilda's hands froze for a moment, and she raised her eyebrows and looked at Alan.

"Ah, you're so young. I thought you were already fifteen. What about these two?"

"They are both seven years old."

"That's it."

There was silence for a while, with only the clinking sound of the spoon touching the silver bowl and the sounds of Gileno and Alice swallowing their food.

Hilda looked at Alan for a while, and seeing that he had no intention of introducing his name, she took the initiative to ask.

"What are your names? What are you teaching Alice?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rudy's hand holding the bread froze for a moment, and Sylphy didn't start eating at all. She turned her head to look at Allen.

The sunlight shone on Alan's dark gray pupils, and he finally raised his head and looked Hilda in the eye.

"The brown-haired boy holding the bread is named Rudeus Greyrat. He is the eldest son of the Knight family of Buena Village. He is good at all kinds of non-chanting attack magic. He studied under the Water King-level magician and is responsible for teaching Alice attack magic and arithmetic."

Alice had something stuffed in her mouth. She waved at Allen in dissatisfaction and pointed at Sylphy beside her.

"The beautiful girl of the Long-eared Tribe is named Sylphiet. She is mainly good at healing magic without chanting. She is a student of the Water King-level magician and is responsible for teaching Alice healing magic."

Alice nodded with great satisfaction, while Sylphy's ears trembled and she involuntarily grasped the silver-gleaming spoon on the table.

Alan's voice continued to ring out.

"My name is Allen, and I'm responsible for teaching Alice the Water God Style swordsmanship."

With a clink, the spoon fell into the vegetable soup.

Sylphy quickly turned to look at Hilda.

Hilda was smiling.

The voice sounded a little hazy.

"Fate. So interesting."

"My child is also named Alan."

"What a coincidence, ma'am."

".Yes, what a coincidence."

There was silence at the table. Alice stopped chewing, looked at her mother, and then looked at Alan across from her.

She didn't quite understand the atmosphere and acted on instinct, and she felt like something was happening, but she didn't 'catch' it.

Sylphy and Rudy beside her looked at each other and lowered their heads.

The former imitated Alan and Hilda's actions and stirred the wild vegetable soup in front of him with a spoon.

In the reddish-brown pupils.

Alan's fingers holding the spoon were bony.

Slightly more forceful than usual.

I've started padding again, so these chapters seem a bit bland.

In fact, the main plot of my novel is very clear so far. Like the original work, it is still a story of "growth".

Alan will grow up, Rudy will too, Sylphy, Roxy, and Alice will too, and their growth will be more detailed and more touching than in the original work.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 117 Good Night and See You Tomorrow

After the names were introduced, lunch time passed by in an inexplicable silence.

Alice was soon full. She glanced at Hilda's spoon, which was still stirring the soup in her bowl, and then looked across at her.
