Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

……

"squeak……"

The door was gently opened again.

Eh?

It's Hilfi...

Half a head peeked out from the crack in the door, its slender ears swaying beneath its long, emerald-green hair.

she……

I'm back...

I thought...

She doesn't want me anymore...

"But... I still like Rudy the most."

Eh?

She hasn't given up on me; hasn't she lost hope in me yet?

The doors were all opened, and I stood there motionless, unable to move... The girl took my hand; her hand was so cold.

"Seriously... what's with that look on Rudy's face? Okay, let's go have lunch, everyone's waiting for Rudy."

……

And so, looking utterly pathetic, I was led to the dining table by Hilfi.

Hilfi is truly an angel.

"Brother is so lame..."

"really……"

For the first time since I arrived, Norren and Aisha were in agreement.

"what"

"Ouch!"

Then he was hit on the head by both Janis and Lilia.

"Rudy, when do you plan to leave for La Noah?"

Paul put the soup in his mouth; it seemed he didn't have to patrol the village today.

His gesture of drinking soup reminded me of the noblewoman in the Royal Mansion.

But their tone of voice was completely different.

"I haven't decided yet."

It's been two days since I got home, and I haven't thought about going to La Noah Magic University yet. I don't think there's any need to rush.

"Honey, Rudy just got back, why are you already hoping he'll leave?"

As she spoke, Janice placed a piece of bread on my plate.

"No, that's not true. I just feel that Rudy seems to have changed. He's more like a child than before."

Am I becoming more like a child? Indeed, sometimes I don't think as deeply as I used to. My thoughts have become simpler.

Paul is right. Rather than saying I'm more like a child, it's more accurate to say I'm becoming increasingly unambitious.

If things continue like this, we might not be far from becoming shut-in NEETs. And to become some kind of sword of the Boreas family? It's laughable. Philip must have misjudged me.

"Um... Rudy... if Rudy is leaving... can I take him with me?"

Huh? Hilfi?

……

"Um... Rudy... if Rudy is leaving... can I take him with me?"

Sitting next to me, Hilfi lowered her head and bit her spoon, speaking in a very soft voice.

"If it's a matter of money... I can work hard to earn money and pay it back later."

Huh? Why is Hilfi suddenly saying that?

I went to Roya to tutor Alice so that I could earn tuition for both of them.

It seems that Hilfi doesn't know about this yet; perhaps it's time to tell her.

I was worried that she might reject me, like slapping me or saying something angry, since I had done something so outrageous.

"Actually, I only went to Roya to tutor the young lady so that I could go to university with Sylphie."

"Huh?"

Hilfi suddenly looked up at me, staring at me with wide eyes in surprise.

"However, my brother later got engaged to the young lady, which was really awful."

Noren sat to the side and complained.

"what"

He was then hit on the head by Janice.

"If Rudy doesn't want to take me, there's nothing I can do. Rudy will definitely meet other girls in college anyway."

Hilfi lowered her head again, fiddling with her long, flowing hair, looking very disappointed.

I have no idea how much Silphi distrusts me.

"How could that be? I must take Silphie with me."

"But I still hope to go with Rudy."

Hilfi and I accidentally said it at the same time.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

I can hardly believe that a scene that I used to only see in eroge and shoujo romance manga actually happened between me and Sylphie.

Hilfi covered her mouth in surprise, her pale face flushing red.

According to the plot of a dating simulation game, even if I were to forcefully kiss Silphie now, she wouldn't refuse, right?

"Rudy...Rudy, about the tuition...I...I can find a way to pay it back later..."

Hilfi covered her face and said shyly.

Looking at Hilfi like this, any man would be moved, right?

By this time, I had become completely captive of Hilfi, and I had forgotten all about the engagement with Alice and the sword of the Boreas family.

I didn't care whether I was a scumbag or not, and decided to reply to Sylphie with a Grellat-style response.

"Then repay with your body."

Oh no! What did I say! I accidentally blurted out what I was thinking.

"Oh no, I mean, Silphie is already family, so there's no need to pay her back."

"It's okay, Rudy, I understand."

No, Silphie didn't understand. I knew from her shy expression as she pressed her hand against her chest that she definitely didn't understand.

Looking at Paul's "He's truly my son" expression, and the disdainful looks from Noren and Aisha, even though Janis and Lilia were silently drinking their soup, I think the two of them must have misunderstood as well.

I've decided I'd better explain...

"Um... I really didn't mean to ask Xilufeiyong to repay the money with her body, I just said..."

Damn it...

What will happen next? Will Sylphie strip naked and sneak into my bed one night?

What am I thinking?

I've already wronged Sylphie so much, yet I still thought of ruining her. I'm such a scumbag.

At this point, I had to explain to Sylphie that I really didn't mean anything by it. Although Sylphie had already entered my lap of luxury, I was afraid that if she actually did that, I wouldn't be able to control myself.

"Um... Sylphie... don't misunderstand... I... really... didn't mean anything by it..."

Upon hearing my words, Hilfi's shy expression vanished instantly, and she said in an almost inaudible voice, "That's true, a woman with a figure like mine certainly can't compare to the young lady."

"Huh?"

After saying that, Hilfi stood up and went upstairs, looking slightly disappointed. She only took a bite or two of her bread and didn't drink much of her soup.

Is it my fault?

It must be.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became serious. Should I go after Sylphie or what? What would the male protagonist of a visual novel do?

Furthermore, what should I say to Sylphie after I catch up with her? I was just lewdly exploring her body on the bed, and now I'm going to go up to her and say, "I don't have those kinds of thoughts about you, I hope you don't misunderstand?"

hateful!

I looked up and saw Aisha and Noren's eyes. They were looking at me with helpless expressions, as if to say, "Brother is so dense, he doesn't understand women's hearts."

Just as I was wondering what was going on, Lilia stood up, went into the kitchen, took two loaves of bread, and went upstairs.

That's true. Compared to how to explain it to Sylphie, Sylphie hasn't eaten anything yet.

Lilia came downstairs very quickly.

"Has she eaten?" Paul asked in a low voice.

Lilia nodded.

“That kid might really have those kinds of feelings for Rudy.”

As she spoke, Janice looked at me.

But what should I do? I can't do anything! Should I really have that kind of relationship with Sylphie?

Paul, what should I do?

I looked at Paul with pleading eyes.

……

"Rudy..."

What was that sound?

Hilufi?

"I'm sorry, Rudy, I misunderstood."

Hilfi sat back down, lowered her head, and said softly.

"Uncle Paul, Aunt Janice, Aunt Lilia, Norren, Aisha, I'm so sorry, I've disturbed everyone."

The tone of voice didn't sound like that of a family member; it sounded more like that of a guest or servant.

"Don't say that... Sylphie..."

Janice offered a soft word of dissuasion, and the atmosphere at the table returned to its somber tone.

“We’re family, Sister Silphie.”

It was Noren who broke the atmosphere.

"Exactly, don't use such formal language."

Aisha, showing her two little tiger teeth, continued Noren's words.

"Then, I'll go take a look around the outpost."
