Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

After walking around and finding nothing to worry about, he pushed open the door to the student council room and naturally sat down in a chair.

Lilith leaned against the window, listlessly fiddling with her long hair.

"Have you rested well?" Lilith asked.

Rudius leaned closer, scratched his head, and smiled sheepishly, "Thank you so much. You did all the work for me yesterday."

"It's alright, what can I do? I'm your partner, Lord Rudeus."

Lilith smiled gently, tilted her head slightly to look at Rudeus, her gaze deep as the sea, and she sensed a slight oddity, but also felt a little gratified. She took Rudeus's hand and said softly, "It seems that Lord Rudeus had a good rest yesterday, and today you even have a bit of the guild master's demeanor."

Rudius was secretly pleased to hear this, but he pretended to cover Lilith's mouth. He cautiously glanced out the window and whispered:

"Shh! Don't say anything, it wouldn't be good if someone heard you."

Lilith gently pushed Rudeus's hand away, raised her hand to grab Rudeus's collar, leaned close to his ear, and said with a smile, "Lord Rudeus has grown up, I'm so happy."

After saying that, Lilith left the room.

……

Evening arrived quickly, and a bonfire was lit in the school square. Students gathered around it, marking the end of the school anniversary celebration.

Rudeus hadn't seen Lilith all day since their meeting that morning.

Where did she go?

During the orcs' mating season, dangerous things often happen at the school. Rudeus was a little worried. Although the school was quite safe these past two days, not seeing Lilith made him inevitably associate her with those dangerous things.

Rudeus looked at the firelight with some hesitation. Perhaps Lilith was tired and resting in the dormitory. Thinking this way made him more positive.

"Lord Rudeus, may I invite you to dance with me?"

"Lilith?"

……

On the rooftop of the teaching building, a young boy and girl stood facing each other.

The girl gazed at the glow of the bonfire below, imagining dancing around it with someone.

"Silphie, I like you," the boy said.

Chapter 162: The Mountain Has Trees

……

Under the clear moonlight and gentle breeze, the coolness of late summer and early autumn had not yet touched the young man's body and mind before turning into smoke and dust, rising slowly with the bonfire around him.

Mogorei gritted his teeth, large beads of sweat streaming down his forehead. He hesitated and wavered, but after a mental struggle, he finally became resolute. His tightly closed eyes widened, as if they were burning brightly.

"Silphie, I love you!"

Mulgore grabbed the girl's shoulders; he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Hilfi's face was fair but slightly gloomy, and in the bright moonlight, the stray hairs by her ears shimmered.

She glanced at the bonfire party on the ground below, where men and women of all kinds were gathered. Although she was calm inside, her face showed a somewhat surprised expression.

"Did I... scare you? It might have been a bit rushed for Sylphie, I'm really sorry."

Mulgore's resolute gaze softened, transforming into the gentle moonlight.

Hilfi gently shook her head, "Actually, when Mulgore asked me to come to the rooftop, I had a pretty good idea why... so..."

Hearing this, Mulgore's mood began to sink.

He confessed his feelings to Silphie first, and now Silphie is telling him that she is mentally prepared to accept his confession.

Therefore, it can be inferred that Sylphie's "so" might be followed by a statement of refusal.

Thinking of this, Mulgore suddenly felt a little flustered. He had been preparing for this day for a very long time. After scolding Rudeus yesterday, he also noticed Rudeus's attitude towards Sylphie. So, regardless of whether Sylphie accepted it or not, he had to extend an olive branch to Sylphie at this time and express his feelings.

“So…” Mulgore hesitated for a moment.

Although she was thinking, "Please go out with me, Silphie!", she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Hilfi tilted her head slightly to make it easier for her to look downstairs.

She seemed to be searching for someone, or perhaps giving someone extra attention.

But if she were to ruin the current atmosphere because of herself, it would be tantamount to breaking ties with Mulgore.

Knowing Mulgore as she did, she knew that even if she rejected him outright, it would be better than ruining the atmosphere and making Mulgore feel awkward.

Therefore, Sylphie did not want to ruin the atmosphere that Mulgore was working so hard to create and cause an undesirable outcome.

Sylphie turned her head and looked at Mulgore.

"So, I want to know, what is the reason why Mughal is like me? What exactly does Mughal like about me?"

Do you need a reason to like something?

Mulgore suddenly hugged the girl in front of him tightly to his chest.

"Whoa! Mulgore, you..."

Sylphie cried out in surprise and tried to push Mulgore away, but she was not strong enough and could only put her hand on Mulgore's shoulder.

"I love everything about Sylphie!" Mulgore hugged her tighter.

"Do you know how I felt when I saw you, Sylphie, sitting alone in a corner, silently wiping away your tears for Rudeus? When I saw you working late into the night, looking haggard and on the verge of collapse, yet still holding on? If it were me, I would never let Sylphie suffer like that!"

"Um……"

Sylphie didn't know what to say. She had never noticed that Mulgore had taken such meticulous care of her.

She had previously approached Mulgore to take advantage of Cosette's influence. Although she knew that Mulgore had feelings for her, she rarely interacted with boys, and Mulgore was probably the first person besides Rudius to show her this level of concern.

However, Rudius never said such a thing to himself.

"Rudeus doesn't deserve Sylphie's devotion at all! He and that Lilith are inseparable, spending every day together, eating together, and never thinking about Sylphie's feelings. That kind of person is not worthy of Sylphie at all!"

Lilith...

The name reminded Sylphie once again that she had been glancing downstairs out of the corner of her eye, trying to spot Rudeus.

When she and Mulgore went up to the rooftop, she had imagined Rudeus and Lilith dancing hand in hand in front of the campfire.

Another woman also came to mind—Luo Qixi.

Even though she knew perfectly well that Loki and Rudeus didn't have that kind of worrying relationship, she was now acting strangely, becoming second only to Lilith in terms of her own existence.

"A person like Rudeus, who has caused Sylphie so much heartache and pain, why doesn't he just die!"

Mughal gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.

"Don't say that about Rudy."

Sylphie suddenly exerted her strength and pushed Mulgore away.

"I……"

A tear slid down from the corner of Hilfi's eye, leaving a wet trail on her cheek.

"I... have always... always liked Rudy the most. No matter what Rudy is like, I like him. Rudy is my favorite! I don't want you to say that about him."

Mulgore looked into Sylphie's wine-red eyes and seemed to see all sorts of emotions: longing for Rudeus and the helplessness of being unable to reach him.

"Rudy...Rudy..."

Hilfi retreated to the railing, slowly squatted down, hugged her knees, and sobbed.

She kept raising her hand to wipe away the tears that kept sliding down her face, but she just couldn't stop them.

"how so……"

Hilfi was somewhat at a loss. She felt Rudeus was getting further and further away from her, and she was powerless to stop it.

Mulgore stood rooted to the spot, looking at Sylphie crouching in the corner with equal bewilderment. He had said the wrong thing, but he hadn't expected Rudeus to hold such weight in Sylphie's heart.

But standing there was no use, so he walked up to Hilfi and slowly squatted down.

"Don't look at me, my face is all messed up from crying..."

Hilfi buried her head in her knees and sobbed softly.

"No...don't touch me..."

Ignoring Sylphie's objections, Mulgore gently lifted Sylphie's cheeks and gazed tenderly into her wine-red eyes, which were glistening with tears.

“Hilfi, I like you and I want to date you. I know you might not agree, but I want to tell you my feelings. There's a long time ahead, so I don't need you to rush into an answer. Take care of yourself.”

After saying that, Mulgore got up and left the rooftop.

……

The night was deep, and the wind, carrying the bleakness of approaching autumn, lashed against the window, making a howling sound.

Hilfi walked shakily to the front of the dormitory building, and vaguely saw what seemed to be a person standing in front of her, who slowly walked forward.

"Silphie, why are you back so late?"

He took Silphie's hand; it was still so cold.

Chapter 163: The Tree Has No Branch

……

"Congratulations to Mugolei on moving to the position of Minister of Academic Affairs of the Student Union at Lanoa Magic University."

In the student council room, Rudius, like the other ministers, bowed and congratulated Mugore.

Several months have passed since the school anniversary celebrations, and with a month left until the election of the new student council president, Mogore's election as the head of the academic department was indeed expected by everyone. Cosette's meaning was quite clear; only a fool wouldn't see it.

As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean, and young people often display their formidable vigor when they are in a good position.

Mogore smoothed out his brand-new dark blue stand-up collar wool coat, and his gleaming leather shoes clattered on the floor of the student council room.

He helped the ministers up one by one, who were bending over. When it was Rudius's turn, he didn't even glance at him. He walked straight to the chairman's seat, glanced at Cosette, and it was as if Cosette was about to offer him her seat.

"Ahem, today is my first day in office, so let me make it clear to everyone that we are all working in the student council, and it is our duty to ensure the stability of the school and the well-being of the students. Therefore, I will need the help of all the department heads in the days to come."

Upon hearing this, Rudius took a step forward, then slightly crouched, adopting the aristocratic manner of Asura, which startled the other ministers.

"Minister Mogore is right. It is a great role model for us that the Student Union of Lanoa Magic University has someone like Minister Mogore serving the students and the school."

Cosette, leaning on the table with her arms crossed, smiled and said:

"I understand Minister Rudius's intentions. Our student council also greatly needs someone like you."

Seeing this, the other three ministers looked at each other and also squatted down to pay their respects, pledging their loyalty to Mughal and Cosette.

Dolan, standing behind Cosette, had a serious expression on his face. His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, and he let out a low, cold laugh.

The laughter was unpleasant, and the ministers all looked up at Dolan.

The student council room suddenly fell silent, and the pages of books on the table rustled in the wind.

"Oh dear, it's so windy today."

Standing by the window, Lilith broke the silence first, awkwardly but politely closing the window. Mulgore turned to look at Dolan, noticing the latter staring at him with eyes as red as a rabbit's, and felt a chill run down his spine.

"Ahem, that's all for today. Does the president and vice president have anything else to say?"

Bang!

Doran ignored him completely, pushed aside Mulgore, and walked straight out of the room, slamming the door shut.

The ministers, expecting Cosette to have a gloomy face, all looked up tentatively to see her expression, only to find her sitting at the table, looking at the door that had been smashed and had come loose, with a completely relaxed expression.

The people inside the house should have known perfectly well which way the wind was blowing. The three ministers then began to speak in a disjointed manner:

"Senior Dolan is too unsociable; even Rudius must have found him unbearable."

"Look at him, slamming the door. Humph, what a big shot he is."

The voice was kept low enough to be heard, and Rudius glanced at them, knowing it was deliberately meant for Cosette to hear.

"Minister Rudius, I've heard that you and Vice President Dolan are quite close. What do you have to say about your behavior just now?"
