Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

Unlike before, this time, these were probably tears of emotion.

……

Afterwards, we packed our things and prepared to return to the carriage.

I stepped onto the carriage stairs with one foot. In the past, I would have grabbed the stairs with one hand and held onto the railing with the other before boarding the carriage, which would have made the journey smoother.

I forgot something else: my right hand is gone.

By the time I noticed, I had already lost my balance, and my left hand still had a chance to grab the railing…

Oh no, I missed it...

They were about to fall off the carriage.

Eh?

The girl who had disappeared for so long has reappeared…

Her short, golden hair was tucked behind her ears, and looking at her serious face, I actually found her a little bit cute.

However, she still looked annoyed...

She grabbed my left hand…

"If you're missing a hand, you should be careful getting into the carriage."

The tone of his voice still carried a hint of scolding, but it felt slightly different from before.

"Rudy... hurry up and go up... I need to hold on until I'm done."

Only then did I realize that my back was being supported, which prevented me from falling.

Oh, it's Sylphie...

"Oh, I'm sorry."

I stepped onto the car steps, then grabbed Sarah with my left hand and used the momentum to get on the car.

"Oh my! Rudy!"

"I can't stand it!"

"Ah! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

……

Maybe it's because I'm a little too strong...

I accidentally pulled the salad off the car...

And Sylphie couldn't support the weight of both of us either...

At last……

I pinned Silphie to the ground, while Sarah was on top of me.

……

My left hand felt something soft and squishy, ​​not too big or too small...

Where are you touching?

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

She immediately jumped up, her cheeks flushed, and her already annoyed face now turned into a furious glare at me.

I feel like she already disliked me, so she must be really angry this time.

Then I could only apologize and let it go.

She glared at me and then jumped into the carriage.

The sensation in my left hand is somewhat memorable; although it might be a small thing, it still brings a slight thrill…

"Rudy...Rudy..."

Oh no! Sylphie is still pressing down on me.

I quickly rolled to the side and then used my left hand to push myself up.

"I'm sorry, Sylphie."

Hilfi struggled to her feet, then took a deep breath as if she was about to be crushed to death, and looked at me with a wronged expression.

Seriously... such a lovely Silphie is right in front of me... why would I be excited about other women?

……

It was already dark when we got back to the hostel. We asked the hostel's kitchen to roast the rabbit we had caught, and then we ordered some other dishes.

The seven of us, plus Mr. Bruno, sat together. This time, the main dish wasn't rice, but bread.

To be honest, eating rice without a right hand is very inconvenient. It would be great if it could be made into rice balls.

However, the rice here is not like Japanese rice; it is harder and almost impossible to knead into a ball.

After dinner, I lay on the bed with my arm as a pillow, and I was thinking...

Was what I said today a little too extreme?

That fat man was at least a mid-level knight, while Paul was a low-level knight, so he was at least a nobleman.

I confronted him in this way, almost to the point of breaking off all ties...

It would be better to be more tactful when dealing with others in the future.

But given the current situation, a more hardline approach might be better.

Maybe that's just how socializing is. I'm not very good at it, and I don't know when I'll be able to be like those successful people.

……

"squeak……"

The door opened, and it was Hilfi, who had finished washing up and was about to go to sleep.

This is a double bedroom with two beds, and she is lying on the other bed.

Goodnight, Rudy.

"Okay, goodnight, Silphie."

……

"Rudy...are you asleep?"

"Silphie? Not yet..."

"It's already very late..."

"Can't you sleep, Silphie?"

"...A little...about today..."

I should have known better. Hilfi cares a lot about what happened today. She's tied herself to me, and I never know how she'll react to anything that involves me.

I guess I wasn't attentive enough to her.

I turned my head and glanced at the bed opposite me.

The girl squatted on the bed, hugging her knees, wearing only a thin shirt.

Even though it's not winter yet, the weather is quite cold right now. Although we're staying in a high-end room with heating, it's still warmer to wear a coat while staying in the room.

If Hilfi stays like this, she'll likely catch a cold.

I remember she has healing magic, so a cold isn't something I need to worry about.

I got out of bed and sat down next to her.

As soon as I lifted the blanket, I felt enveloped by the cold air, even though I was only wearing a single shirt on my upper body.

I reached out my left hand and put my arm around her shoulder.

It's so cold...

"What happened today..."

"Rudy, I..."

……

The two who had spoken at the same time fell silent.

Her hair was very silky, and it felt very comfortable to rest my arm on it; it must have been washed today.

"that……"

"Sylphie, you go first..."

"Rudy, you go first..."

……

"I want to protect Rudy... I'm afraid Rudy will..."

"Stop talking... Sylphie."

I lifted the quilt from Sylphie's bed and covered her with it.

Hilfi must have been thinking that she was afraid I would be killed, afraid I would be hurt.

It's all because I'm too weak. With someone like me, I can't give her a sense of security.

However, I can no longer let her develop in this direction.

To protect me, they would not hesitate to use a Saint-level magic to kill everyone and get their hands stained with blood.

If I were in that situation, could I achieve that level of awareness?

"I'll always be here for you, Silphie."

Saying those words might put her at ease for the time being.

"Rudy said that again..."

Are you tired of hearing her talk about it...?

That's true. No matter how eloquently they talk, they haven't put it into practice yet, and they always encounter danger, which worries her.

"But today, it's also thanks to Rudy."

She rested her head on my lap, and the blanket was draped over my shoulders.

……

"Ugh..."

"Ugh..."

She was sobbing softly, while she held my empty right sleeve in her arms.

She... she's still bothered by that incident...

Compared to me, who lost an arm, she was probably the one who was most hurt.

I'm so sorry, Sylphie...

Even though I'm not good enough for you right now...

But I swear, I will never let you shed such tears again.

Although I may not be able to do it now.

No, I must do it.

It must be done.

I have already died once, but for Silphie, this is her first life, and I cannot let my problems bring her tragedy.

I no longer have the opportunity to say, like Louis XIV, "After me, the deluge."
