Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"Then?"

"I haven't decided yet."

"I see. Rudy, do you like Sylphie more, or Alice more?"

“Of course it’s Silphie! ...No, it’s a little hard to say.”

"I see. Then go to sleep, goodnight."

Time flew by, and the next morning arrived. Philip, Hilda, Alice, and I went to say goodbye to Paul and Hilfi. My tenth birthday had passed so quickly.

Hilfi never took off her white straw hat from the moment she arrived until she left, probably to cover her green hair and avoid attracting unnecessary trouble.

Before leaving, Alice gave Sylphie a dress that looked very expensive. Their relationship is quite complicated; I was worried they might fight, as I love watching magical girl fighting games. But I hope it doesn't happen between them.

"Rudy, don't cause trouble for Mr. Philip and Mrs. Hilda."

"Mr. Philip, please take care of my son."

"Mr. Paul, Miss Hilfiet, please take care."

It's a little sad to see them leave after such a short time together.

Paul hadn't gone far on horseback with Hilfi in his wake when the girl jumped off her horse, ran towards me, and tackled me to the ground.

"Rudy, I still don't want to be apart."

Her voice was trembling with tears, which dripped down her fair and delicate cheeks and onto my face.

"tick, tick"

I don't want to be separated from Hilfi either! I really don't! But I can't do that. If Hilfi becomes dependent on me again, all of Paul's efforts for us will be in vain.

"No, you can't, Silphie."

I helped her stand up slowly and wiped away her tears.

"I'm sorry, Silphie, please wait for me for two more years."

"Uh-huh."

"Rudeus! Rudeus! Wake up! Didn't you promise me that you'd show me your most amazing magic trick after we finished breakfast?!"

"Alice~ Alice~ Let me hug you~"

"Oh? Sylphie wants some too~ Oh~ Okay~"

"Ugh! Aaaaaaah!"

……

What a wonderful morning, except for the rare occurrence of sleeping in on a day off only to be woken up by the young lady's headbutt. It's been almost a week since her tenth birthday.

I rubbed my head and slowly opened my eyes, only to find Alice lying by the bed, her two bright, almond-shaped eyes staring at me. I suddenly felt like a frog being watched by a snake.

Kyrie Irvine stood behind her with his arms crossed, and two "bunny girls" (actually maids with rabbit ears) brought in freshly washed clothes, washbasins, towels, and other items.

I don't usually get this kind of treatment, but after my tenth birthday, Hilda said she would treat me like her own son and that I should enjoy this kind of care. Although I tried my best to refuse, I was still forced to enjoy this kind of treatment.

Even during meals, usually it was Sauros, Philip, Hilda, and Alice eating at the table while Girenouille, Alphonse, and I watched from the sidelines. But after my tenth birthday, even Sauros insisted that I eat at the table with them. I tried to refuse, citing it as impolite, but the old man looked very angry, so I had no choice but to accept. Clearly, they had already treated me like their own child.

It was lunchtime, and we only started eating after Sauros finished and left. Girenouille, however, kept staring at us, his mouth practically watering.

At that moment, Hilda, who was sitting next to me, suddenly put her hand on my head.

"Rudeus, your head looks swollen. What happened? Did Alice bully you?"

Before I could respond, Hilda turned to Alice:

"Alice, you need to hone your feminine charm and stop always attacking Rudeus!"

Alice's expression changed slightly, and it was clear she had restrained herself considerably. Although it was true that she had hit me.

"No, no, Madam, you misunderstand Alice. I bumped into something by accident when I went downstairs."

Upon hearing this, Hilda immediately picked me up and made me sit on her lap, then stroked my head.

"Madam...please don't do this..."

"Please stop now, Mother!"

Alice finally couldn't hold back any longer. Help me, Alice! I don't want to be drowned in this overwhelming maternal love, even though it's so big, ah~ really so big.

"Alright, alright, let's eat. Darling, put Rudeus back and enjoy your meal."

Finally, Philip spoke up and eased the tension. Although such a harmonious family atmosphere was quite heartwarming.

……

Alice, Gilead, and I arrived at a hill outside Roya, which was about half a day's journey from Roya.

Before demonstrating my Saint-level magic, I tested and adjusted the "Arrogant Water Dragon King" wand. As expected of the 1,500 Asura gold coins Mr. Alphonse mentioned, it amplified the power of my water magic by about five times, and the power of my wind, earth, and fire magic by about three times, while also effectively reducing magic consumption. Although using mixed magic with this wand isn't easy, with diligent practice, it shouldn't be a problem.

"This is really a good thing..."

I couldn't help but sigh. I was starting to get a little obsessed with this expensive new toy.

"Really? That's great!"

Hearing my evaluation of the wand, Alice breathed a sigh of relief and looked very happy.

"Alright, everyone, thank you for waiting. Next, Rudeus Grellat will demonstrate his strongest technique!"

Immediately afterwards, I pointed "Arrogant Water Dragon King" to the sky and began to chant:

"Magnificent water spirit, thunder prince who ascends to the sky!"

Grant my wish, bring forth fierce blessings, and let the dwarfs witness your power!

Show your might by striking the anvil with the hammer of God, and let the floodwaters engulf the entire land!

Ah, rain! Wash everything away, banish all things!

As I chanted, a fierce wind suddenly arose, and a huge beam of light condensed where the magic wand pointed, shooting straight into the sky, gathering and surrounding the surrounding clouds and lightning to form a huge storm, and torrential rain fell for miles around.

"Wow!" Kyrie Irvine and Alice exclaimed in unison.

The wind howled, the forest groaned, and the surrounding trees were blown out of shape by the wind.

Gilead plunged his sword into the rumbling ground to keep himself from being blown away, while Alice clung tightly to Gilead's tail, her body already swaying in the wind.

I stopped casting the spell after less than a minute.

At this moment, all three of us were soaked to the bone.

Alice ran over excitedly and hugged me. "Amazing! Rudeus!"

Because I was completely soaked, I could easily feel that soft, moist, and warm thing against my skin. Thank you, Oppai-sensei.

"This kind of magic is probably already at the King level."

Kyrie Irvine shook off the water like a kitten, then crossed his arms and said.

"Really……"

I answered with some hesitation.

To be honest, my magic skills have been stuck at a bottleneck for over three years. Such a powerful effect is probably due to the "Arrogant Water Dragon King" amplifying the power of the "Thunderous Rain Clouds."

But I did feel something I had never felt before: the feeling of magic condensing and compressing in the air.

And so, the three of us, half-dry from my magic trick of wind and fire, rode our soaked horses back to the manor.

After showering and changing into clean clothes, I returned to my room. Lying on the bed, I looked at my palms, savoring the feeling. It was strange; it felt like the magic, after being released from the wand, was compressed into a vacuum space formed by my own magic, and then, after being highly concentrated, it was released again.

"Lord Rudius, there is a package for you."

I took the package from the cat maid.

It was sent by Professor Locke.

Chapter Five: The Young Lady's Fate (Part One)

Chapter 5: The Young Lady's Fate (Part 1)

It has been almost a year since I last received a letter from Professor Roxie. Just like last time, this package contained a small wooden box.

I couldn't wait to open the little wooden box; it was like opening a blind box—you never know what surprise awaited you inside. Although this time, it was a bit like Russian nesting dolls.

Inside the small wooden box was another small wooden box and a letter.

As is the old tradition, I read the letters first.

Before opening the letter, I continued to live up to my scumbag nature, greedily inhaling the scent of Mr. Roxie from the letter.

It smells so good. No wonder it's by Professor Roxie.

"Dear Lord Rudeus"

You'll probably receive this letter around your tenth birthday. It might be a little earlier or later, but I still want to wish you a happy birthday, Rudy.

I've heard about your deeds; after all, I knew it was you the moment I heard about how a nobleman's child in the Kingdom of Asura transformed a wild young lady into a refined lady in just three years. Compared to you, I may lack the talent of a teacher. However, I've decided to resign as the tutor of the seventh prince of the Kingdom of Xilong. There's really something to say about this prince.

His Majesty still hopes I will continue to teach this "prince" for another one to two years, but by the time Rudy receives this letter, I will probably already be on my way north. I want to return to La Noah Magic University to further my studies, and ideally, to obtain a position as a university professor. I just hope that my "merciful" master will forgive me and not make things difficult for me when I apply for a job.

Finally, the other wooden box contains my birthday gift for you. It was specially made for you by the court artisans of Prince Zanoba of the Kingdom of Xilong. Please cherish it.

PS: I will write to you once my life after leaving the palace has settled down.

This letter was written by Professor Roxie at the perfect time, meaning he started preparing a year ago? How thoughtful, Professor Roxie. Is the other wooden box a birthday present from Professor Roxie? What could it be? Roxie's own panties, made by court artisans?

I carefully folded the letters and put them in the wooden box, then eagerly opened the other wooden box.

This is! My figurine!

This looks like what I looked like when I was five years old. Did Professor Roxie specially commission someone to make this? How can there be such a beautiful woman in this world! Thank you, Professor Roxie, I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life. I'm so moved I almost cried.

The teacher also mentioned that she was going to La Noah Magic University to apply for a job, so she would definitely pass through here on her way. Fantastic! Yay! Counting the time it took to send the letter, I'll probably be able to see Professor Roxie again within the next two years!

……

"Rudius! What is this?"

Alice suddenly appeared behind me, her hands on my shoulders, her cheek very close to mine, I could even hear her breathing through her nostrils.

Do the Boreas family members like to suddenly appear from behind? But after being betrayed by Mr. Alphonse during my failed attempt to eavesdrop on Paul and Philip's conversation, I'm somewhat wary of people suddenly appearing from behind. Especially since this time it's a very cute young girl.

I composed myself, then picked up the figurine and said:

"This is a birthday gift from Professor Roxie. Isn't it exquisitely made?"

"So small! Is this Rudeus when he was little?"

What exactly is she saying about me being small?! I'm quite imposing! But Alice seems to be talking about my age, sorry, I misunderstood.

"Well, after all, I was only five years old when Mr. Roxie left my home."

"Rudeus was only five years old when he could perform the kind of magic you're doing today! You're really amazing! As expected of Rudeus!"

Alice turned her head to look at me, and for a moment I found myself staring into her eyes. We were so close, and my face was turning red at a visible speed.

"Ah...no...not as powerful as today, it's because the staff you gave me, Alice, is so powerful..."

"Is...is that so...I'm glad Rudeus likes it." Hearing me say this, Alice's face turned red, and even her voice became shy without her realizing it. It wasn't like her usual self, who could add an exclamation mark to the end of every sentence.

But seriously, are we about to kiss at such close range? Come on, Alice! Uncle is ready. Come on, Alice! Get ready to receive my first kiss, Rudeus Grellatt's first kiss!

Just as I closed my eyes, revealed my lips, and prepared to give away my first time...

"Ooh!"

Alice punched me and slammed me to the ground.

It seems better to leave this first time to Sylphie.

"Dinner is ready. I came here specifically to invite Rudius to dinner!"

Alice stepped back a little and stood in front of the door with her arms crossed.

"Why not just have the maid do this... Anyway, thank you anyway, Alice."

I slowly got up from the ground.
