Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

Chapter 136: Mogorei Wants a Hug

……

"Sister, this is chrysanthemum cake that Father sent. It's quite delicious."

Mughal held a glass plate in one hand and picked up a piece of cake on the plate with the other. It was a type of cake that was very easy to preserve and was made by steaming rice flour with the juice of a plant called "chrysanthemum," a winter specialty of La Noah.

"You eat it."

Cosette brushed aside the hair that was obscuring her eyes, glanced up at Mulgore, then lowered her head again and buried herself in the books on the table.

"Okay, sister? Then I'll eat it myself."

As he spoke, Mugolei put a piece of "chrysanthemum cake" into his mouth.

"Sure enough, the taste hasn't changed after all these years, it's still so delicious."

Mulgore ate by himself, leaving a few pieces for Cosette.

Cosette said she wouldn't eat, but she still put away the documents on the table, picked up a piece, and put it in her mouth.

"good to eat."

After finishing her meal, Cosette flipped through the files again. These files were sent by the intelligence network run by her father, Pedro Caroline, and each one was information that a Lanoan should not have access to:

Lilith Aiuros Greirat, the eldest granddaughter of the Aiuros family, a high-ranking noble family in the Kingdom of Asra. Her father, Gordon Aiuros Greirat, was originally from the Boreas family...

"That's interesting, they're actually from the same company."

Cosette smiled slightly, but Mulgore didn't feel comfortable with that expression.

Mugore craned his neck to look at the contents of the document on the table, and a chill ran down his spine.

"This Lilith, who is clearly childhood sweethearts with the second prince of the Kingdom of Asura, why is she willing to be subordinate to him and travel all the way to Lanoa Magic University to be Rudeus's assistant?"

“Rudius, you are quite a big shot.”

Cosette's lips trembled slightly, her face showing a sense of relief, as if some of her guesses had been completely confirmed.

There must be something going on here.

"Mulgore said."

"My silly brother, it's best if we know as little as possible about the inside story of these things."

Cosette put away the documents, stood up, walked to Mulgore's body, and opened her pen.

"Don't you want to hug your sister?"

"No."

Mulgore turned his face away and answered decisively.

"It's true what they say, once a brother grows up, he's no longer under his sister's control."

Cosette sighed and added, "When you were little, you used to chase after me every day saying, 'Sister, hug me, sister, hug me.' Where did that adorable little brother go?"

With that, Cosette left the student council room.

As Cosette's footsteps faded into the distance, Mulgore muttered to himself.

"Seriously, sis, I'm not a child anymore."

Because their mother died early, Mulgore treated Cosette like a mother, and Cosette was no longer just an ordinary sister to him. In turn, Cosette took on the role of a mother to Mulgore, more than just his sister.

Cosette often finds her younger brother innocent and adorable, while Mulgore often complains about his older sister's excessive concern.

"If it had been my sister, but my classmate Hilfi, who opened her arms to me just now, that would have been great."

Mulgore pulled out the textbook that Sylphie had left behind during the last class, and couldn't help but recall the scene of attending class with Sylphie three days ago:

……

"Hilufi, shall we go out for dinner together later?"

Mulgore glanced at the teacher on the podium, then turned his head and whispered to Silphie sitting next to him.

"No, I have an appointment."

Who is it?

"Rudy, of course."

Silphie spoke casually, her eyes fixed on the teacher in front of the blackboard, while she held a pen in her hand, constantly taking notes on the lesson in her notebook.

Mulgore, however, was not so calm. In his view, Rudeus was already engaged to the eldest daughter of the Boreas family, and now there were rumors about Lilith and him. There was no reason for Sylphie to continue following Rudeus, because he felt that Sylphie, who came from a commoner background, was probably just a fling for Rudeus.

He still remembers how much pain Silphi was in back then, and sometimes he dreams of Silphi seeing Rudeus and Lilith together.

"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't do it to Hilfi..."

Hilfi glanced at him, then looked up at the clock on the wall, before closing the notebook and handing it to Mulgore beside her.

"Hmm, there are still fifteen minutes left in get out of class. I need to go find Rudy first. I'll leave the textbooks with you for now and pick them up in a couple of days, Mogulei-kun."

After saying that, Hilfi quietly left the classroom.

Hilfi, who always listened attentively in class and never skipped, was late, or left early, actually left early because of Rudeus...

……

Mulgore's thoughts returned to reality. If only he could have hugged his sister just now. Even if he couldn't hug Sylphie, at least his sister was there to comfort him.

"Sigh... never mind, at least Silphie agreed to let me call her Silphie."

The bitter wine stung his heart, but there was no wine available. He put all the remaining chrysanthemum cakes on the glass plate into his mouth and ate them in one go, forgetting all his troubles and filling his sorrow with food.

"Dong dong."

Suddenly hearing a knock on the door, Mugore quickly placed the glass plate flat on the table.

"Please come in."

Mogore spoke hastily, with "chrysanthemum cake" still in his mouth.

"I knew Mugolei would be here."

They assumed the girl gently opened the door and entered the room.

Looking at her wine-red eyes, her every smile and frown, and her long emerald green ponytail swaying behind her, Mogore even forgot that he still had something in his mouth.

"hope...west...hu...lu...hope...lu...hu..."

"Mugole, don't rush, speak slowly."

Seeing that Mulgore was choking on his food and couldn't speak, Hilfi quickly picked up a water glass and a kettle, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Mulgore.

Mogorei took the water glass and drank it all in one gulp, also swallowing the contents of his mouth.

"Whoo~"

Mulgore breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been given a second chance at life.

"Thank you so much, Silphie."

"It's alright, I'm here to get my notebook from Mugolei."

"Oh, it's over there."

As he spoke, Mugore pointed to the books beside him.

Thanks.

With that, Hilfi picked up her book and prepared to leave.

Mughal was experiencing a complex internal struggle at this moment.

Seeing that Hilfi was getting closer and closer to the gate, he decided that he had to say something.

Hilfi, I really want to hug you.

No, no, that's too abrupt.

Hilfi, may I hug you?

No, no, what if she starts to hate me because of this?

……

Hilfi's hand was already reaching for the doorknob!

Mulgore was like an ant on a hot pan at this moment, wondering whether to be a coward for life or a real man for five seconds.

If I don't say those words now, I don't know when I'll get another chance. Now is the best opportunity!

Go!

Mulgore!

"Um, Sylphie..."

"what happened?"

Hilfi withdrew her hand again.

"Oh! By the way, I haven't organized today's data yet. Thanks to you for reminding me, Mugolei, you've been a great help."

As she spoke, Hilfi placed the book on the table next to her and took out a stack of materials from the bookshelf, beginning to break them down and organize them bit by bit.

Sylphie stayed behind for the time being, but Mulgore, who had just mustered the courage to say that important sentence, suddenly swallowed it back.

Do you want to be a coward or win the heart of the beauty? Even if you are misunderstood by others, it takes more than just courage; it takes a cry from the bottom of your heart!

Just for!

Just for!

"Silphie!"

"Mulgore shouted."

"Waaah!"

This really startled Hilfi, and the document in her hand fell to the ground.

"I……"

Oh no, should I apologize now?

Should we continue?

Mulgore fell into deep thought.

"What's the matter?"

Hilfi picked up the file, her wine-red eyes blinking rapidly.

"Um... um... I... Sylphie went out to play, and she seemed to be having a lot of fun. I'd like to hear what she has to say about it."

Mugolei decided to use delaying tactics to ease the tension of the "incident" that had just occurred.

"You said Rudy and I went out to play, and it was really fun."

As she spoke, a smile spread across Hilfi's face.

It's like a young girl in love dreaming of her long-awaited geisha senior.

[Note: This is a metonymy: a rabid boy wouldn't dream of a bunny girl senior.]

"Rudy and I had fish soup for lunch, from that popular place on the street, but unfortunately, there's only one bowl and one spoon left..."

"Only... a bowl? A spoon?"

Mulgore was startled, hoping that what Sylphie said wasn't true.

"correct."

Upon hearing Sylphie's reply, Mulgore glanced around, wondering if there was anything to eat or drink to fill the void in his heart.

"So...how...did...you...eat...?"

Although he was terrified to continue what Silphi was saying, Mulgore couldn't help but ask the question.

By this time, he had long forgotten about "hugs" and such.

"First I fed Rudy, then Rudy fed me..."

As she spoke, Hilfi stretched, as if her whole body had relaxed.
