Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

With three days left until the election, Rudy seems to have completely surrendered to Cosette.

I don't know why Rudy would do that.

Meanwhile, I've been studying Saint-level healing magic, so I've been spending less and less time with Rudy.

The relationship between Loki and Rudy also struck me as somewhat ambiguous. I often see them appearing together, though it seems like this has happened frequently before. Perhaps I'm just being overly sensitive.

After all, Rudy spends more time with Lilith now.

I don't want this to happen...

I want to talk to Rudy...

I want Rudy to hold my hand...

I want Rudy to hug me like I always have...

But even now, standing next to Rudy, I don't know how to ask him to do these things.

My room is now piled with all sorts of gifts, in the corners and on the bed, some of which I haven't even had a chance to open.

Those things were all very expensive. For example, the dress I've always liked, I've passed by clothing stores many times but could only look at it from the window. I couldn't bear to buy it, and I was too embarrassed to ask Rudy for it.

The first time I went on a date with Rudy, he wanted to buy me clothes, but I refused. That was before we went to the Duchy of Basheland together.

Almost a year has passed since that incident.

Speaking of which, before that, Rudy had given me a new magic wand, although it was given to Rudy by Mr. Bruno, Rudy just pushed it to me.

It's made of gold, and it's quite expensive, almost the same price as Rudy's Arrogant Water Dragon King.

I opened the closet, which was already piled high with clothes, and the magic wand was lying under the pile of clothes.

They were all gifts from Mulgore.

I had pretended to be reserved and refused Rudy's offer to give me clothes, but I didn't expect that when Mulgore sent me a gift, I would not refuse at all.

Was it his confession that moved me?

No, even though I was a little touched the day he confessed his feelings to me, at that moment, all I could think about was Rudy.

If only the other person had been Rudy back then...

dong... dong... dong...

Someone is knocking on the door...

At this time...

Will anyone come back?

Rudy?

Or is it Luo Qixi?

I opened the door, and there stood a tall woman with long blonde hair. Before she could speak, I decisively closed the door.

Clang, clang—for the first time, I found the sound of a rusty iron door being slammed shut to be so pleasant.

What is Lilith doing here?

Could it be related to Rudy?

I opened the door again, and Lilith walked in, head held high, chest puffed out, acting as if she were the owner of the house.

Looking at her school uniform puffed out by her chest, I unconsciously touched my own chest...

I don't require someone to be very voluptuous, but if my... even just a little bit like hers... would that be...?

"How rude of you, Sylphiete."

When I came to my senses, Lilith was already lying on the sofa in the living room with her head on her arm, completely without the restraint one should have when visiting someone else's home.

I leaned against the wall, arms crossed, and glared at her as I said:

"You're the one who's being rude by being so casual in someone else's home, aren't you?"

"Huh? When guests come to your home, shouldn't the host serve tea and water first?"

Tsk... She actually wants me to serve her tea and water?

Not kicking her out is already the greatest mercy I can show!

Although I got angrier the more I thought about it, I still used water magic to fill the cup with hot water and pushed it to her.

There's no tea at home, so please make do with this.

"Unbelievable! Lord Rudeus earns thousands of gold coins a year, yet he can't even afford tea."

Rudy earns thousands of gold coins a year?

As far as I know, the blackboard workshop is almost out of business. People from the Magic Association have already started looking for investors to help run it. Where does such a high income come from?

"You mean the Asura Gold Coin?"

"How could that be? Of course it's a Lanoa gold coin."

She said with a smile.

Looking at the slightly upturned corners of her mouth, I suddenly felt an emptiness in my heart, and a chill ran down my spine and throughout my body.

"What's going on with the blackboard workshop? It's almost closing down, so where does Rudy get such a high income?"

"Lord Rudeus, didn't he tell you?"

"..."

At that moment, I didn't know what to say.

Lilith remained lying down, looking completely at ease, while I was desperately swallowing hard.

There was no fire burning in the room, but I could feel sweat trickling down my forehead.

Rudy promised me that he would tell me if anything happened.

Rudy he...

"It seems there aren't any left. Well then, let me tell you."

Lilith!

I felt the magic power within my body expanding and condensing in my palm; several wind blades had already solidified in the air.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you halfway through your story...?"

"If I were scared, why would I come here to see you? You won't kill me."

She got up from the sofa and started walking towards me.

The condensed wind blade floated in mid-air, ready to slice across her neck and take her life at any moment.

She was getting closer and closer to me, and the wind blades, without my conscious control, were already approaching her body.

Five steps...

Three steps...

step……

She was already standing in front of me...

I desperately tried to avoid what was reflected in her eyes...

However, she didn't meet my gaze or exchange glances, but instead...

Instead...she hugged me...

She pulled me into her arms, her arms encircling my back.

A tingling sensation spread throughout my body; the last time I felt this way was when Rudy hugged me…

"Lord Rudius is not having an easy time right now."

Rudy...is he having a hard time?

I was speechless for a moment. Rudy had never told me anything, not even a little bit, about his condition.

“It seems you have become a burden to Lord Rudeus, Silphiet.”

I am……

Rudy's...

burden?

I wanted to push her away, but I felt completely powerless.

The non-chanting holy-level healing spells and superior-level detoxification spells basically prevent my body from being weakened by external factors.

That feeling of helplessness...

Am I feeling guilty...?

“Miss Lilith… Rudy… how… has he been lately…?”

It's me who lives with Rudy...

I should be the one who knows Rudy best...

but……

I am now...

It seems to be about him...

I know nothing about it...

if: When Yone arrives in the jobless world

Jobless Reincarnation Fanfic: If Yone came to the Jobless Reincarnation world

(Note: I've been arguing a lot these past few days, so I wanted to share a different "what if" scenario to calm down. Some of the content is based on Yone's backstory, "Severing".)

……

"If there were no feast made of grief, Yazakana would be starving."

……

Under the silvery crescent moon, in the pine forest on one side of the Silver Palace, scattered firelight converged, and a group of soldiers in silver armor were carrying several richly dressed corpses lying haphazardly on a wool carpet stained with blood.

The young man was lifted onto the carriage. His empty eyes gazed at the dark night sky as he stepped into the boundless darkness amidst the countless stars. His arm, which had been cleanly severed at his side, was nowhere to be seen. The silver brooch bearing his family crest was split in two by the knife wound connecting to his chest, and deep, bone-revealing cuts on his neck still oozed crimson blood.

A slender, long arm was thrown onto the car, its fair hand tightly clutching a simple magic wand.

Deep in the pine forest, a white-haired half-elf girl was running frantically, her pale face covered in blood. Her left hand covered a wound on the right side of her body, from which blood continued to flow under the faint green light.

A dark shadow flashed past in the trees, and beneath the floral cloak, a long, slender sword, curved like a snake's tail, gleamed with a dim obsidian light.

The girl sensed the dark figure approaching step by step. The late winter night was no longer so cold, but the biting wind and frost went straight to her heart. Her stiff muscles followed the biological instinct of seeking advantage and avoiding harm and ran forward tirelessly.

Under the clear moonlight, a tall woman stood upright on the road ahead. Her silver armor, covering her entire body, exuded a sharp aura in the darkness, yet there was no trace of murderous intent in her pale blue eyes.

That person may not have intended to make a move.

The girl stopped in her tracks, desperately trying to suppress her rapid breathing, as blood continued to flow from the wound on the right side of her body.

"Stop struggling. After that strenuous running, the toxins have probably spread throughout your body. You're not going to make it."

A dark figure appeared behind her. Beneath her high-swept hair, a man of medium build swung a snake-tail-shaped sword. The exaggerated tattoos on his face appeared bluish-black in the moonlight.

The girl took out a gold pocket watch from her bosom, with the hour and minute hands overlapping below the dial.

"Princess Ariel has probably escaped successfully..."

She turned around, raised her only remaining left hand, and painstakingly gathered magic power, pointing it at the man. A strong murderous aura emanated from her wine-red eyes.

"That will only make you die faster."

The man transformed into a blur and charged out, his sword coiling like a snake, its cold light slicing through the moonlight as several dazzling blades whistled towards the girl.

The sapphire ring on the girl's left index finger shone brightly, merging with the man's gleaming blade.

"it's over!"

Swish!

The sword blade sliced ​​through the afterimage, but the girl vanished without a trace.
