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

"but."

"Where are Ailisi and the others? Why do I feel like I haven't seen them for a while?"

After saying this, Philip glanced at Sylphy with an inexplicable smile on his face, and then walked naturally towards the mansion in the distance.

As for the latter, under Hilda's gaze, his arms stiffened, he blinked rapidly, and spoke with forced calmness.

"It seems that Alice and Li'er sent Master Saulos back to his bedroom. I'm not sure about Alan and Rudy."

Hilda looked at Sylphy's awkward and stiff smile in surprise, thought for a moment, then tilted her head slightly and spoke.

"It's not surprising that Rudy isn't here. It's also not surprising that he left the dance after being very popular. But Alan should stay with Sylphy, right?"

The corners of Sylphy's awkward smile suddenly froze, and her face turned red. If it were usual, she might not have understood Hilda's implication, but after seeing all kinds of charming things at the banquet just now, she naturally knew what Hilda meant by the pause at the beginning.

She frantically stretched out her hands and waved them around in front of her face.

"Husband! Madam!! Alan is not like that."

The gloomy look of the queen who was intimidating potential rivals just now disappeared in an instant.

Then she felt Hilda's hand on her head.

Sylphy looked up.

Hilda bent down slightly and comforted her with a smile.

"Look, you know Alan's character, so don't worry. They might be discussing Alice's tutoring course. After all, classes will resume tomorrow, right? You should have some confidence in him."

Sylphy blinked.

But she realized that Hilda saw that she looked 'not good', so she deliberately redirected the topic to comfort her.

At this moment, she somehow remembered Hilda's diary again.

I remembered that sentence——

'Mom will be watching you from far away, even if you don't know it doesn't matter.'

The lady is really nice.

She shouldn't be so sad.

Sylphy sniffed at the thought.

"Madam, can you take a walk with me?"

Hilda turned and looked at Sylphy.

Although he was very 'tired', he still smiled with his eyebrows curved.

"it is good."

-

The dark blue outline of the mountains above the mansion loomed in the night.

Hilda and Sylphy walked out from the bustling crowd and bright lights that had lasted all night, and stepped into the courtyard.

Two sets of high heels stepped on the bricks, making a crisp clicking sound.

The courtyard seemed empty and quiet.

Under the covered bridge, the voice was soft.

Swaying with the night wind.

"Why does Sylphy want to take a walk? Sylphy has taken this step bravely today, so there is no need to worry about gains and losses."

Hilda looked at the covered bridge in front of her with a smile on her face.

She knew what Sylphy was thinking, and was happy to talk to this child she loved about their future.

At this point in time, in this state.

Sylphy needs encouragement and comfort.

She needs someone to help her sort out her uncertain future.

Her parents are not around, so

Of course, this person should fall on myself as a "mother".

even if

Hilda smiled sadly.

Beside her, Sylphy looked down at Hilda's exposed instep and held Hilda's arm.

After a long silence, he spoke.

"It wasn't me who took this step today, it was Alan, it has always been him."

"He's trying, Lady Hilda."

As they were talking, the two of them stepped under the covered bridge.

The echo of heels hitting bricks and stones echoed in their ears.

Hilda remembered how Alan walked through the crowd today and invited Sylphy to dance.

The crowd is bustling, but you are the only one in their eyes.

She squinted her eyes, her gaze a little vague, as if she was thinking about the distant past.

"Yeah, he's trying hard, that's great."

"Dances, invitations, conversations."

"Dance of Love."

She smiled.

"These things are so far away for me. Looking at you always reminds me of my youth."

Sylphy raised her eyes and looked at the covered bridge in front of her.

just in front.

Just a few more steps.

After a turn, you will see the side courtyard.

She blinked.

"Not far, ma'am."

Hilda shook her head and reached out to gently touch the mottled wall under the arch of the covered bridge.

"When I first came here, the bricks and stones here didn't have these mottled traces of time."

Hilda lowered her eyes and looked at the light yellow dress she had worn before her marriage.

Why not a floor-length style?

Because it is a dance dress.

"I am no longer young. Now I can only watch the throbbing, anxiety, joy and happiness of you young people. I can no longer dance the dance of love. If I mention this to my dear, he will definitely laugh at me, right?"

"Lord Philip seems to be very fond of Madam. If you mention it, he will definitely agree."

Hilda chuckled.

"Spoil me? I haven't heard this word for a long time. Well, actually I can't bring myself to do it. After all, I'm already old..."

"Mom was once a girl, too."

The footsteps stopped, Hilda was stunned, and looked down at Sylphy.

The latter had raised his head at some point and was looking at Hilda.

The two stared at each other for a moment.

After a while, Hilda blinked, tilted her head and smiled.

"Where did you get that? Doesn't it sound like Lu Fei would be talking about your magic teacher?"

This is not a question, but more like a sigh.

Therefore, Hilda did not wait for a response while speaking.

She blinked and looked down at her skirt again.

I saw Alan and Alice dancing today at a birthday party.

That should be satisfying, isn't it?

Even though she was looking at them from a distance, she felt like she was making up for a tenth birthday party for her child.

Then, don't look sad, smile more. This way you won't look so gloomy and look like an old woman.

You should be happy, right?

She smiled with her eyebrows curved.

lightly.

She reached out and grabbed the hem of her skirt.

Step by step, taking slow and small steps.

"Tap tap" "Tap tap".

There was a faint sound of footsteps under the covered bridge.

Seeing this, Sylphy slowly smiled, her eyes twinkling, and she reached out and grabbed Hilda's hand.

While supporting her, he also acted as her backup dancer.

They were both very reserved and took slow steps.

Looking at each other and smiling.

He walked forward from under the covered bridge.

Under the covered bridge.

The hems of the goose yellow dance skirt and the moon-white evening gown swayed.
