Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"Is it true?"

"Confirmed... Confirmed."

McConnell tapped the mallet on the table once more.

"Let's end this ridiculous trial."

Princess Ariel, she...

Princess Ariel spoke in a manner I had never seen before; she even broke the rules of the courtroom.

"My bodyguard killed someone to protect me. Do I need evidence? Or are you only satisfied if these two victims confess who the perpetrator was?"

Then she looked at Mike Canon.

"Moreover, without my permission, my guardian sorcerer was brought to trial on trumped-up charges. I wonder if you, the judge, can still represent the laws of the Kingdom of Asura. Shouldn't you be replaced?"

bump……

The small mallet in Mike Cannon's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

"I have no objection to continuing this trial, but I don't want to waste my precious time on this with some big shot behind you. That's all I have to say."

After speaking, Princess Ariel left the defense panel and gestured for her maid to leave with her.

……

After Princess Ariel left, the courtroom fell into dead silence. Mike Cannon picked up the gavel and struck it again.

"The plaintiff's evidence was insufficient, and Dilik Reitbart was released in court."

……

I have regained my freedom, but Princess Ariel's radical remarks could very well bring her a storm of assassinations.

At the same time, there will be a fierce attack from the First Prince's faction and the Second Prince's faction.

I think Princess Ariel should already be prepared to seize the throne.

……

●●●●●●●●●

Late at night, a girl dressed as a maid enters the residence of Princess Ariel, the second princess.

However, someone blocked their way.

Blocking her path was a man with a small mustache, wielding two swords, and resembling a butler.

……

the next morning

The Second Princess's residence was surrounded by servants, as well as some nobles who had been drawn there by some unknown disturbance.

They appeared to be looking at a female corpse.

"This corpse is... [The Raven of the Night]!"

Chapter 52: Taste (Part 1)

……

After breakfast, Silphie and I joined the [CounterArrow] group and headed to the adventurers' guild in the town.

The town is located on the border of the Kingdom of Lanoa, but because it is close to the upper jaw of the Crimson Dragon, it is almost the first town that caravans must pass through when leaving the upper jaw of the Crimson Dragon to go to the three major magic kingdoms. Therefore, under such location conditions, this small town is unexpectedly prosperous.

On the way to the Adventurers' Guild, almost every shop along the way was packed, and the people on the street were dressed in a way that showed they were quite wealthy.

Moreover, due to the heavy snow blocking the roads these days, almost all the caravans from Asra have been stranded here.

The streets were filled with people of all kinds of faces and clothing, including those with traditional Asura appearances, those wearing white robes in the style of Milis, and even orcs with furry ears and wagging tails.

We've arrived at the Adventurers' Guild. From the outside, it looks almost exactly the same as any Adventurers' Guild I've seen before, with no major differences. Perhaps the Adventurers' Guild is a global chain.

After entering the guild, Sylphie and I found a place to sit down, while Timothy took all of their adventurer cards to the front desk.

The receptionist looks so pretty, just like Incarius, especially her huge breasts.

It's a pity I didn't get to get close to her.

"Aren't those two kids in your team?"

"Incaros" must have become suspicious when he saw me and Sylphie sneaking in behind them.

"No, no, no, of course not."

Timothy explained.

If Silphie and I also apply to become adventurers, there might be some requests that we won't be able to accept.

Paul and Gilead also told me about the regulations for adventurers. Although the penalties for violating the regulations are severe, many adventurers still try to find loopholes.

This time, we received an E-level commission: to cut down magic trees in the forest outside the town.

“Some demonic trees can attack people, but this place is close to the Kingdom of Asura, which is not a place where magic energy accumulates excessively, so it is safer than fighting monsters.”

Timothy walked at the front of the group, his back to me and Sylphie, and said.

We boarded the carriage and headed out of town.

I saw that wooden sign again, which I saw yesterday: "Tet Thompson Family Hunting Grounds." I still vividly remember the accident that happened yesterday when I went hunting with [Counter Arrow].

Hopefully, something like that won't happen again today.

"Actually, I don't recommend taking this commission, but Timothy is considering Lord Rudius's noble status, so it seems inappropriate for him to take on physically demanding work."

Susanna said to me very respectfully.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about me too much."

Whether it was Mr. Stark before, Mr. Bruno now, or anyone in [Counter Arrow] except Sarah, they all always used honorifics when speaking to me, probably because my name is from the Yinberias family.

At first, I wasn't used to it at all, but perhaps it was the influence of my five years of living in the Roya mansion, especially after my tenth birthday, when I was almost treated as a member of the Boreas family, that made me gradually get used to the respectful way people addressed me.

Now, it seems quite normal to hear others use honorifics when speaking to me.

"Sylphie? What's wrong?"

Hilfi kept gripping the sleeve of my right arm, as if she was worried about something.

"No, it's nothing, I just have a feeling that something bad might happen."

"Don't overthink it, Silphie."

Hopefully, Silphie is overthinking it.

Timothy was looking in this direction, and after our eyes met, he immediately looked away.

Was he trying to say something? Perhaps Sylphie's worries weren't unfounded; I should remain cautious.

I looked out the window, and the profile of the blonde girl came into view.

dong dong...

dong dong...

Is that what it feels like to be in love?

No, no, no, what are you talking about? We've only known each other for a short time.

Although she is quite pretty, her personality is really terrible.

Uncle, I can't be like Paul, blinded by lust.

Oh no, she turned around and looked at us.

"What are you looking at? It's disgusting."

She cursed at me and then turned her head away.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Suddenly I felt my clothes on the right side being pulled tight, so I turned my head to the side.

A pair of large, resentful eyes were staring at me.

very scary!

It's just so cute.

"Sad (かな)しみの向(む)こうへと

Heading towards the other side of sorrow

迿（たど）り出（つ）けるなら

After many twists and turns, the words finally arrive.

Servant（ぼく）はもう want（い）らないよ

I am no longer important

ぬくもりもTomorrow（あした）も

"After the dark clouds comes tomorrow."

[Note: Lyrics to "Towards the Shore of Sorrow" (from the ending theme of School Days, jokingly referred to by netizens as Makoto Shinkai's execution song)]

Is that another intracranial echo? Stop this horrible background music!

"I'm sorry... Sylphie..."

"No, Rudy, you're not wrong."

"Sorry…"

"Give me a kiss and I'll forgive Rudy."

Eh?

Where did she learn that?!

That shy yet slightly jealous tone was almost unbearable for me.

No matter how scary Sylphie can be at times, when she's cute, she can mercilessly destroy all my resistance.

Oh no, I've already become her prisoner.

I lifted her cheek with my left hand.

Her eyes were slightly closed, and her cherry-pink lips were ready.

"Ahem, you two, that's enough."

"Nobles are disgusting."

Salad gave us both a disdainful look.

The other people in the car were also looking at me and Hilfi with expressions of anticipation for what would happen next.

They were completely unaware of the other people in the car.

Although I really wanted to kiss him, I suddenly felt a disgusting vanity, like a nobleman who has to maintain his image.

Hilfi blushed and shyly looked to the side, her two slender, long ears also turning red and drooping.

She probably didn't want to kiss me in front of everyone.

I looked out the window to calm my burning face.

Unlike yesterday's road, the carriage has now entered the forest; we're probably almost there.

The carriage continued its journey, and a thin wisp of mist gradually rose from the forest.

……

A thin mist hung in the air, creating an unsettling feeling, quite the opposite of what one would expect from a misty forest.
