Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

What a filial son! His father is about to die, yet he still stays out all night in that kind of place, indulging in the gentle embrace of the beastmen lady. Compared to me, he's even worse, since I can only satisfy my physical needs myself, while they are different.

Forget it, such a comparison is meaningless, and I have no right to condemn them.

……

Before I knew it, noon was almost over, and Alice had quieted down. She showed no intention of apologizing for beating me in the morning, but I didn't need her apology either, since I could understand her feelings.

Although I have never had such an experience, and I didn't shed a single tear when my parents passed away, looking at Alice, I gradually understood what that feeling must have been like.

And so, my hand was held tightly in hers, while Alice still looked as disheveled as she had that morning.

On the table in Lord Sauros's bedroom was an envelope. No one knew what was inside; perhaps the lord had written a will in it as his days were numbered.

"Ladies, young lady, Lord Rudius, Lord Girenau, lunch is ready..."

The servant stood at the door, hesitant to speak. This was the second time the servant had asked us to come eat, but no one in the room seemed to be in the mood for food.

You can feel it even without stepping into the room.

……

"Father is critically ill? How could that be? He sent both of us flying so far yesterday! Hahaha! So far! Don't you think so, Philip!"

“Brother is right! How could Father be critically ill? He might just be a little sleepy!”

The sound of the two filial sons laughing and talking could be heard from the corridor. It seemed that they had drunk some more after spending the night in that kind of place and were still drunk.

Clearly, Alice had heard me too; my hand was about to be crushed by her grip.

She started shaking even more violently.

"Crunch, crunch"

Is that the sound of teeth grinding? Who is it?

The voice was so close that I unconsciously looked at Alice.

"Alice..."

Calm down a bit, Alice.

Oh no, she didn't respond.

"Father..."

Ah, the two dutiful sons finally appeared at the door, their eyes fixed intently on Sauros on the bed. Philip stopped smiling, and the two men's flushed faces turned deathly pale with fright.

"You two..."

The moment Alice saw Philip and James, she abruptly let go of my hand.

No! We have to stop her!

"Alice! Calm down! Those are your father and uncle!"

I held her waist tightly.

No! She's too strong; she's pulling me forward with all her might.

Suddenly, Alice seemed to lose all her strength and collapsed to the ground.

I looked up, and there was Gilead.

"I apologize for the intrusion, young lady."

She delivered a karate chop to Alice, causing her to temporarily lose consciousness.

Gilead's tail also appeared to be hanging low and drooping on the ground.

I picked up Alice in my arms and walked out between Philip and James.

Back in Alice's room, I put her on the bed.

Her long dress was soaked with sweat, revealing two small bulges.

It turned out she wasn't wearing anything underneath; no wonder I didn't feel anything else in my hands when I was holding her.

Normally I would definitely do something to her, but I didn't have that thought today. Especially looking at her messy hair and tear-stained face.

Get some rest, my dear lady.

……

After putting Alice down, I went back to Sauros's room.

"Father! Father!"

What was that sound?

……

When I got back to my room, I realized that while I was carrying Alice away...

Lord Sauros has passed away.

It's just a little bit of time away.

……

"The lordship of the territory of Fituia has been inherited by...Philip..."

"James inherits my title and the Boreas family..."

James opened the envelope on the table, glanced at it, and then read it aloud, word by word.

That was Saloros's will; it turned out he had long foreseen this day.

To my sons

Years ago, I dreamt of a deity who told me I would leave this world this year. At first, I didn't quite believe it, but a few days ago, the deity appeared in my dream again, saying my days were numbered. To be honest, even I feel increasingly powerless every day; perhaps this was a divine revelation.

So while you're still alive, make a will for your descendants.

Whether it's Gordon, James, or Philip, I don't want to see you brothers killing each other and fighting over your children like our ancestors did. Because you are all my most beloved sons.

First, James, as the eldest, you should take good care of your brothers. Second, you must shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing House Bereas. Philip's talent is evident to both of us; with his assistance, you will surely be able to revive House Bereas once again.

Secondly, Philip, you have always been the most intelligent of these brothers. In terms of talent, none of your brothers can compare to you. However, as a person, talent alone is not enough; the most important thing is the entire family. Only by relying on the family can your talents be fully utilized. Therefore, after my death, you must do your utmost to assist James, and the Boreas family will surely rise to prominence in the hands of the two of you brothers.

As for Gordon, we haven't been in contact for many years. I just hope he can be happy.

Of all my grandchildren, the one I worry about the most is Alice. She'll be of marriageable age in a few years, and of all the children I've met, only Rudeus truly cares about her. If their engagement could be arranged, that would be the best outcome. As for the others, as long as they live well and their brothers are harmonious, that's enough.

Finally, regarding the inheritance of the family business, I made some changes to the previous arrangements.

Philip will inherit the title of Lord of the Fituia Territory, and James will inherit my title and the Boreas family. As for Gordon, his son, who married into the family, is unworthy to inherit the family business.

"The future of the Boreas family rests on your shoulders."

……

Finally, Philip became the lord. Philip and James jointly oversaw the month-long funeral of Lord Sauros.

In the months following the funeral, Alice gradually recovered her spirits, though she still felt somewhat sentimental when talking about the old man.

Philip then swore an oath to the King and James at the Lord's succession ceremony, pledging eternal loyalty to the King, to the House of Bereas, and to James.

Time quickly passed, and a year and a half later.

In the past year and a half, I have mastered magic compression. I can absorb more magic with the original amount of magic consumed through compression, and release an effect that is four to five times, or even ten times, greater than before.

In less than six months, I will be able to return to Buena Village. Although I am not yet engaged to Alice, it is only a matter of time. Although I know that I can marry both Silphie and Alice, I still need to consider how to explain this to Silphie. Moreover, it is still unknown whether Silphie will agree to go to Lanoa Magic University with me.

It's impossible for Hilfi to change her mind; I like her very much too, but I even feel sorry for her.

"dong dong"

"Enter"

"Lord Rudeus, a little girl who claims to be a Water King-level magician wishes to see you."

"Lord Rudeus, a little girl who claims to be a Water King-level magician wishes to see you."

……

I just finished dinner. Ever since Philip became lord, he has had to go to the capital to report on his duties every now and then, much like how daimyo in the Sengoku period would periodically travel to Kyoto. Local lords demonstrated their loyalty to their lord by making these regular trips to Kyoto.

A few days ago marked Philip's first trip to the capital since taking office a year ago. Since James returned to the capital, Philip hasn't been to that "paradise on earth" place. Perhaps after Philip goes to the capital, the two of them will be partying every night.

Although I was fortunate enough to be taken to such a place once by Philip and James, I never went there again after it was discovered.

I can't help but feel a little envious, surrounded by sexy orc ladies.

"Lord Rudius, would you like a drink?"

While listening to them whisper sweet nothings, I lay between their legs, grabbed their tails, and stroked their ears.

Just thinking about it makes me...

"Rudius, your expression is so lewd..."

Alice was sitting on my bed with her arms crossed, looking at me with disdain.

Kyrie Irving sat on the ground, fiddling with the 1/8 scale Kyrie Irving figure that I had just made a few days ago.

I lay on Alice's lap with my arm as a pillow. Doing this in the past might have gotten me killed, but it's become more common over the past few months.

Although Alice is still a rude girl who will hit people at the slightest disagreement, she seems to have become much gentler.

Moreover, after a year and a half of growth, Alice has already begun to take shape, and it's probably only a matter of time before she grows up to be as magnificent as Hilda.

"dong dong"

Someone is knocking on the door. What's wrong so late?

I was about to say "Please come in" when Alice blurted out "Come in" first, as if I were in her bedroom.

Although now I'm practically inseparable from Alice.

Upon hearing "Come in," a cat maid opened the door.

"ha……"

She first covered her mouth in surprise, then quickly composed herself.

Perhaps seeing me lying on Alice's lap as a pillow was something Alice rarely did.

"Lord Rudeus, a little girl who claims to be a Water King-level magician wishes to see you."

Water King level?

little girl?

When I hear these two words, the first thing that comes to mind is that godlike being.

Beneath her traditional mage hat were beautiful long, light blue hair and porcelain-white skin. Two three-strand braids were combed down her back and draped over her white robe with blue trim, swaying as she walked.

And then...

Holy relic!

I completely forgot that the relic is still at home. I hope Miss Lilia will keep it a secret and not let Sylphie know.

Sylphie~

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but laugh.

“Your expression is even more lewd than before, Rudius.”

When I came to my senses, the maid had already left, and I was still lying on Alice's lap.

"Are you still looking for Rudeus's woman so late at night?"

"Click, click"

Alice's fist seemed to crack! This means...

I hopped from Alice's knees to the ground.

That way, even if she hits me, I'll still have a chance to escape.

More importantly than all that, Professor Roxie has arrived!

A Water King-level girl, it must be Teacher Roxie without a doubt, and a year and a half ago I received a letter from her saying that she was going north.
