Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"No."

My father flatly refused Girenau and me.

Kyrie Irwin seemed to have given up all resistance; her tail had been sticking up just moments before.

"Why? Father!"

But I really want to go. I've had enough of practicing swordsmanship at home with only Girenau, and the boring days of etiquette and reading and writing.

If I act a little willful and plead a bit, my father will probably agree.

My father picked up his cup and drank it down without paying any attention to me. I looked at my mother; surely she would say something on my behalf.

My mother ignored me and just sat in her seat drinking soup.

No, I have to do something more intense, like smashing a plate, even though I've never done that in front of my grandfather, father, or mother.

"Gilead."

My father spoke just as I was about to stretch out the tablecloth.

"Yes, Lord Philip."

"If I agree to let you take Alice away, can you bring her back unharmed?"

Does Father's question mean he agrees to let me go? That's wonderful! Father is truly the best.

Girenou seemed a little angry after hearing his father's words.

"Is Lord Philip doubting my abilities? I will definitely bring Miss Alice back unharmed. If I can't, then I will..."

I knew you'd say that.

It seems Father is about to agree! When I made the same request to Rudeus in the past, Rudeus would say something like that, which meant he was about to agree!

Soon I'll be able to go on an adventure with Gilead! Awesome!

My father picked up his wine glass and took another sip. "Father, please agree!" I was practically digging my ten fingers into the table.

“Kirlenu, if something happened to Alice, you would have room to say what consequences you would bear, but not Alice. And no matter what happens to Alice, I cannot accept it.”

As expected, the father still did not agree.

"I understand. I'm sorry, Lord Philip."

"It's alright. It's good to have ideas, Gilead."

"Yes, Lord Philip."

I had absolutely no appetite left, so I left the table with half a loaf of bread uneaten.

I went back to my room and locked the door so that no one could come in and disturb me.

I buried my head in the quilt, feeling so listless.

If Rudius were here, he would be shamelessly knocking on my door right now, saying comforting words, and then secretly doing something naughty when I wasn't paying attention.

I'll stop when I'm about to beat him up, then do it again after a while. Or I can give him that "reward" called a lap pillow.

Does Rudyus's absence really have no impact on me?

If Rudeus were here, he would surely persuade my father to let us go with him. No, Rudeus wouldn't; he wouldn't do anything that would put me in danger.

Although Gilead is very strong, what Father said may not be without reason, because he was thinking of me.

If it were Rudius, he might agree with his father's statement.

……

"Miss Alice, it's time to practice your swordsmanship."

It's Gilead. Although my father annoys me a bit, I still really enjoy practicing swordsmanship.

"Okay, Gilead."

If it were Rudeus, no matter how disappointed he was, he would definitely straighten his expression and walk out with a smile.

But I can't do those things yet...

It was a fairly normal training session. If it were Rudius, even if I went easy on him, he might not be able to beat me.

However, Kyrie Irving said that Rudeus, as a magician, already had enough intermediate-level sword skills in the Sword God style, and that I, as the one in the front row, was the one who should protect Rudeus.

It was almost noon. Kyrie Irvine was leaning against a tree with his arms crossed, watching me swing my sword. If it were Rudeus, he would probably be slumped there, panting heavily.

I think it was under this tree the last time I caught Rudius stealing my underwear.

In the afternoon, we continued learning etiquette, and in the evening, we practiced reading, writing, and arithmetic with Kyrianu.

Even if Rudius is not here, I will stick with Girenouille.

Yes, even without Rudius, Gilead and I are fine.

……

I opened my eyes; it was already slightly bright outside. Another day had passed.

Rudius probably hasn't gotten up yet at this time.

I got dressed, left the room, and walked along a familiar route.

Walking into a familiar bedroom, Rudius must still be sleeping in, muttering to himself about the woman named Hilfiet.

I pushed the door open.

"Rudius! Wake up!"

Apart from the dolls he called "figures," there was no one else in the room.

……

I miss Rudius a bit.

Jobless Reincarnation Fanfic—Live Earnestly Even Without a Transfer Event [Chapter 35] Interlude (Part 2)

Chapter Thirty-Five: Interlude (Part Two)

……

I didn't sleep very well last night.

Because I can see the huge hole that Hilfi made in the wall with magic as soon as I look up, I'm a little worried. I don't know when she will turn into that kind of yandere-like state again.

Although I sometimes wonder what Alice might be doing at that moment, I obviously don't have that kind of time to think.

Because I'm really worried about Sylphie right now.

However, yesterday, Hilfi asked me to teach her about water-level magic, which is probably a good start, and I will also learn advanced healing techniques from her.

Well, a two-way journey is more meaningful.

Have I unknowingly transformed into a "normie" (a person who is outgoing and comfortable with life)?

Are we finally going to escape the NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) scumbag group?

Great! If things continue like this, Hilfi's condition will get better and better, and she won't have to suffer from stomach aches so much anymore.

……

"dong dong dong"

"Young Master Rudius, breakfast is ready."

It's Miss Lilia; she's come to wake me up.

"Yes, Miss Lilia."

As I said this, I got dressed and left the bedroom for the dining room.

……

When I got downstairs, Paul, Janis, Lilia, Norren, Aisha, and Hilfi were already sitting around the dining table. It seems I was the last one to get up again.

After five years of being woken up by someone in the morning, I'm no longer used to waking up early...

I sat down next to Sylphie, but today Sylphie seemed more shy than usual. She lowered her head, took small bites of bread, and had a blush on her pale face, as if she was very shy.

When Hilfi noticed that I was looking at her, she shyly sat to the side.

I hope that what happened before won't happen again...

"Um... Sylphie? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

I tentatively asked, "Maybe Hilfi had some embarrassing dream last night."

For example, dreaming about being in my arms...

Hehe, I accidentally laughed out loud again.

"cough cough"

Noren coughed lightly.

That's when I noticed Noren and Aisha; they both had very dark circles under their eyes. Were they new? They didn't seem to have them yesterday.

"Um...didn't you sleep well last night? Norren...Aisha..."

They both stared at me intently, as if they hadn't slept well because of me.

"Yes, brother, you should ask Sister Hilfi."

Norren said with a heavy heart.

Huh? Sylphie? Could it be that Sylphie is using magic in her dream again?

"Sister Hilfi kept calling Brother's name all night. Why don't you two sleep together? It kept Norren and me awake all night."

Even Aisha, who is usually careful with her words, started to complain.

So that's how it is, according to Aisha. Hilfi murmured my name all night. No wonder she was so shy this morning. She's so cute.

"Oh."

Aisha had just finished complaining when Lilia chopped her on the forehead.

"Aisha, as a maid, you shouldn't say such impolite things."

"Yes, I understand, Mom."

Aisha quickly adjusted her demeanor, transforming from a spoiled and complaining little girl into a dignified maid in the blink of an eye.

"I'm sorry, Sister Sylphie and Brother..."

“Aisha, you don’t need to do this, and neither does Lilia. Because none of us treat you two as servants.”

Janice immediately corrected the two of them, saying that the atmosphere was a little disharmonious, but not in that way; it was still a relatively warm atmosphere.

To be honest, I never really considered Miss Lilia and Aisha as maids.

"Um... I'm so sorry..."

Hilfi blushed and lowered her head to apologize, even her long, thin ears turned red to the roots; she was so adorable.

"Silphie, you don't need to apologize."

I tugged at Silphie's sleeve.

Hilfi, do you know?

If you keep going like this, everyone at the table will be driven crazy by your cuteness.

Speaking of which, today I'm going to teach Silphie a water-level magic trick.

……

After breakfast, I asked Paul to take me and Hilfi out of the village on horseback. However, since Paul was going to town to hire a house repairman, Janis borrowed a horse from the outpost and took me and Hilfi out of the village.

On the way out of the village, Hilfi and Janis sandwiched me between them. I was holding Hilfi in front and resting my head on Janis behind me. It was such a treat.

When I returned to the village from Roya, I was probably thinking about Hilfi, so I didn't notice that the wheat fields in the village were not the golden expanse I remembered. Because it was spring, the wheat had just sprouted into short green seedlings.

After riding for a while, we arrived at a place a safe distance from the village. There was a landmark tree there. It was probably here that Teacher Loki taught me the Saint-level magic. Of course, it was also under this tree that Paul's treasured horse was struck by lightning.

To prevent the magic from being too powerful and harming Silphie and Janis, I did not bring out the "Arrogant Water Dragon King".

"Next, I will demonstrate the Water Saint-level magic [Cumbulous Cloud of Thunder]!"
