Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

However, I still had to bow my head and apologize, since the teacher left without saying goodbye because of me.

"Sorry……"

"No, you don't need to apologize, Rudius. The soup's getting cold, eat up."

Hilda looked at me gently, but her tone suggested she was somewhat disappointed in me. Perhaps she hoped I could keep the teacher, so Philip would be happy when he returned.

……

Now, there's basically nothing left to teach Alice in terms of reading, writing, or arithmetic, except for mixed operations of multiplication and division, which Alice is still not very proficient in.

In terms of swordsmanship, compared to Alice, who has already reached the advanced level, Kyrie Irvine said that it would be no problem for him to reach the Saint level in another year or two of training.

In other words, Alice could become a sword saint by the age of fifteen, making her even stronger than Paul.

……

Sigh, today's sparring session ended in another crushing defeat.

"Gilead, when do you think I'll be able to get a higher-up position?"

I was leaning against a big tree in the courtyard, having just been thoroughly crushed by Alice with a wooden sword.

"To be honest, there's not much hope. I don't know why you can't entangle your battle aura. Maybe the Sword God style isn't suitable for you."

"Gilead said, arms crossed and legs spread, leaning against a tree."

Is that so?

Entangling battle aura—I've heard Kyrie Irwin and Alice mention that entangled battle aura is one of the important conditions for reaching a higher level.

As for me, no matter how many years I've practiced entanglement of battle qi, it's as if I haven't practiced at all.

"Rudius, there's something wrong with your smell."

Kyrie Irvine came closer, her nose twitching in front of me.

Oops!

Alice's underwear was still on her body and hadn't been hidden in the bedroom!

I looked at Alice in the center of the courtyard; she was still wielding her sword and hadn't noticed us.

I'd better slip away while I still can.

What is this?

Oh no! We've been discovered!

Kyrie Irvine pulled a “white cloth” out of my pocket.

"Shh! Kyrie Irvine, don't say it."

I quickly covered Kyriano's mouth and moved behind a tree.

Then he whispered to Gilead:

"Gilead, please keep this a secret, I will return it."

Kyrie Irvine held the "white cloth" to his nose and smelled it.

Suddenly, he shouted, "This belongs to the young lady!"

I already sensed danger.

"What's wrong, Kyrie Irvine?"

Alice walked over, and I quickly snatched the panties from Gilead's hands and put them behind my back, while at the same time I desperately tried to wink at Gilead.

"Miss Alice, Rudeus stole your underwear."

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Marriage Contract

Jobless Reincarnation Fanfiction - Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events [Chapter 24] Engagement (Part 4)

"Alice, Rudius is going to marry into our family."

"Really? Mother!"

"This is a letter your father sent from the capital. Look, he said that Rudius's father has agreed to let Rudius marry into the family."

"Really? That's great!"

……

Actually, I didn't know I liked Rudeus before.

From the very first moment I met him, I didn't like him. I felt more aversion than anything else. Why was he, younger than me, allowed to be my teacher?

Moreover, he had the lecherous habit common to all men in the Grerat family.

However, what happened later proved that he really could do everything. Not only that, he was constantly learning. Meanwhile, I could barely learn anything.

I truly realized I liked him on Rudius's tenth birthday.

My mother has told me many times that although she may not like Rudeus very much, she will want me in the future, and there will basically be no one else but Rudeus.

But I never took it seriously.

Until that long-eared woman named Hilfiet, wearing a white hat and with all her hair pulled back, at the banquet! She actually hugged and kissed Rudius right in front of me!

My mother had told me before Rudius's birthday party that boys generally prefer gentle girls.

Moreover, I had spoken with that guy named Hilfiet before the banquet; I had only heard about her from Rudeus before.

But after meeting her, I discovered that she was not only beautiful, but also genuinely gentle. Unlike other noble ladies who displayed insincere kindness and nauseating gentleness, she genuinely wanted to be my friend, and I even blushed a little when I spoke to her.

Although he was just an ordinary citizen.

But if I were Rudeus, I would definitely like her too.

But seeing her kiss Rudeus, for the first time, I felt a pang of sadness, a deep unease. But since it was Rudeus's birthday party, if I couldn't resist making a move, I might really be out of luck.

Later, my mother asked me to wake Rudius up. I thought that was a servant's job, but my mother asked me directly: "Do you want to lose to that country girl?"

That feeling welled up inside me again, a bittersweet, painful sensation. When I entered Rudeus's room and heard him whispering my name, I felt a strange sense of joy. But the next second, he said, "Sylphie too."

Even though I knew it was just a dream, and even though I had decided to be gentle with Rudius, I couldn't help but beat him up.

That day, Rudius displayed his most powerful magic.

I have never seen such a spectacular magic trick, and if I hadn't been holding onto Kyriano's tail the whole time, I probably would have been blown away by the storm. And the one who performed the magic trick called "Cumbulous Haurelius" was none other than Rudeus.

From that moment on, I even felt that I was not good enough for him.

If I were Rudeus, I would definitely choose Silphiette instead of me, who is both rude and incompetent.

But later, Rudeus had a nightmare, and when I heard him talking in his sleep, I realized that Rudeus, who always seemed to be all-powerful, also had a vulnerable side.

Later, Rudeus became particularly depressed for some reason. At that time, I thought that I must become gentle, gentle enough that Rudeus could rely on me.

Furthermore, Kyrie I once said that a swordsman's duty is to protect mages from harm. As far as I'm concerned, Rudeus should be protected by me!

However, I couldn't pull Rudius out of his depression. I wasn't gentle enough, nor could I protect him.

But that's not all.

One morning after that, I woke up to find myself in a carriage. I thought I had been kidnapped again, but the maid in the carriage told me that I was to be married off to Pilemon.

I panicked. Had my father and mother lost patience with me? Even my grandfather might have given up on me. But most importantly, I might never see Rudeus again.

From now on, there won't even be a chance to be gentle with Rudius.

But just when I was starting to despair, Rudius appeared.

When I got home, I learned that my kidnapping was my father's scheme, and that he had forced Rudeus to come and rescue me.

Later, I increasingly felt unworthy of Rudeus, because when I woke him up in the morning, he would always murmur the name of Hilfiet. Because I wasn't gentle enough, nor could I protect him enough.

But thankfully, he seems to have recovered.

The day before my uncle arrived, my mother told me all the reasons why Rudeus was so depressed. At that moment, I decided to give myself to Rudeus.

She is gentle only for Rudeus, becoming Rudeus's sword, protecting only him.

That night, he held me in his arms, and although I knew he was probably still thinking of Hilfiet, no man from the Grerat family could resist such a thing.

But he didn't touch me.

I think he probably really doesn't like me.

The very next day, he confessed his feelings to me. Without hesitation, I took his first kiss. When I wanted to continue, I realized he was so young.

He is younger than me.

So I decided that when I am gentle enough and strong enough to protect him, I will give him my most precious thing.

Later, my grandfather passed away.

I hit him again in a fit of pique, but he kept comforting me. From that moment on, I decided that I wanted Rudeus to become part of my family.

However, even now, Rudius is still almost three months away from leaving, and there has been no progress in making Rudius a member of the family.

Just now, my mother told me that Rudius's father has agreed to let Rudius marry into the family. I know what that means; it means Rudius will soon be part of my family.

When the time is right, I will hand everything over to Rudius.

"Rudeus~ Good morning, meow~"

I slowly opened my eyes, still not fully conscious. The faint light coming in from the window told me that the sun had just risen not long ago.

A cute young girl was lying on top of me. Although she wasn't very heavy, she was making it hard for me to breathe.

"Ah... Good morning, Silphie."

"what!"

"Waaah!"

"Ow!"

……

I rubbed my head and took another look at the beautiful girl lying on top of me.

"Ah... Good morning, Alice."

"Huh?!"

I suddenly realized something important. Usually, I'm the one who wakes Alice up, but today she came to wake me up, which means I'm so late that she has to remind me personally!

Looking at her lying on top of me, I couldn't help but recall the time she would grab her hair on both sides, straighten her back, and say:

I don't want to learn arithmetic, meow!

I don't want to learn to write, meow~

Just teach me magic, meow~

No, my heart is about to stop.

"I'm so sorry! I'm really so sorry!"

I immediately jumped up and shrank into the corner of the bed.

As the little devil drew near, I found myself trembling uncontrollably. This feeling was exactly like the wrath of A Li.

(Note: This is a famous scene from Inuyasha, where Inuyasha uses his Adamant Blade to destroy Kagome's bicycle, angering her.)

But the demon stopped. She sat facing me, then patted her knees lightly, as if gesturing for me to lie down.

I recall the first time I enjoyed Alice's lap pillow.

"Alice, please sit up straight for a moment."

"What are you going to do, Rudius?"

I lay down, expecting her to hit me, but she just flinched and allowed me to stay lying down.

To be honest, that was the first time I had ever enjoyed a girl's lap pillow. Although it was no different from a firmer pillow because of the clothes, it smelled very nice and felt very comfortable.

After that, enjoying Alice's lap pillow became the norm.
