Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

[Note: *Misty Forest* is Bandari's fifth album, released in 1999. It contains 14 songs, with an ethereal and serene style that evokes a sense of tranquility and peace.]

Stepping onto the snow-covered ground, unlike stepping on open snow-covered ground where you feel like you're sinking with every step.

Perhaps because the forest is full of tree roots, every step you take feels very solid.

However, the chilling atmosphere in this forest gave me a creepy feeling, and to be honest, I even had the urge to go back.

The road ahead was no longer suitable for the carriage to travel further.

After we disembarked from the carriage, we advanced with Susanna and Patrice as midfielders, Mimir and Sarah as center-backs, and myself, Hilufi, and Timothy as defenders.

"Mr. Timothy, is this place, which looks so dangerous, really a Class D mission...?"

Perhaps because it was our first time handling a quest with an adventurer's party, both Sylphie and I seemed a little timid, while the others in the party were quite composed.

"Simply cutting down the magic tree won't cause any problems."

Timothy smiled at me, with the same expression he had when looking at a newlywed.

Was I overthinking it?

Let's hope so.

"Actually, after graduating from Lanoa Magic University, you can obtain a D-rank adventurer qualification as long as you register with the Adventurers' Guild. When I graduated, it was already considered quite excellent if someone like me could reach the upper level in one of the four elemental attack magics. As for Lord Rudeus and Miss Sylphiete, their situations were probably enough to make everyone in the university envious."

"Is that so..."

Rank D requests are requests that even recent graduates of La Noa Magic University can accept. According to Timothy, and I'm not bragging, my and Sylphie's levels are probably far beyond those of the average graduate.

Thinking about it this way, since it's only a D-level mission, the atmosphere in the forest isn't so scary after all.

"rustle"

"rustle"

There's a sound! It might be a monster!

"alert!"

As Susanna shouted, we all became alert.

I raised the "Arrogant Water Dragon King" and Silphi took out the magic wand I had given her before.

"rustle"

"rustle"

……

The sound was getting closer.

Sweat dripped down my forehead, I swallowed hard, and looked around at the trees.

"rustle"

"rustle"

There's movement in the bushes nearby!

"rock……"

Suddenly, a rabbit jumped out of the bushes.

"call……"

I breathed a sigh of relief and also stopped casting the rock projectile. Several pieces of rock that had not yet formed a rock projectile fell to the ground from the top of the "Arrogant Water Dragon King".

"Lord Rudeus, you... don't you need to chant..."

Timothy looked surprised and stammered.

"Yes, that's right."

I put away the "Arrogant Water Dragon King" and said.

"Isn't it normal for upper-class nobles to have this kind of technology?"

Just as I was about to explain, Susanna interrupted with a sentence, seemingly accepting it quite calmly.

"Indeed, I was quite surprised when I saw Miss Sylphiete unleash the blizzard without chanting..."

Timothy muttered to himself.

Actually, Silphie didn't unleash a blizzard at the time; it was just that when she cast Thundercloud, the storm was frozen into a blizzard by the cold air.

However, we can try it sometime in the future. If we can use magic to lower the water temperature or incorporate "Frost Nova", it might work.

The group continued moving forward, and after about an hour, the surrounding trees hadn't changed much. I even started to wonder if we were lost, and I had no idea what the magic tree we were looking for actually looked like.

"Be aware of your surroundings, and immediately engage in battle if any monsters appear."

Following Susanna's commands, we all proceeded cautiously.

Finally, we saw a scene different from the forest we had seen before.

The dried tree trunks, shaped like human hands, are mixed with the forest.

Perhaps the forest's structure is that of an ordinary forest, a mixed forest of magical trees and other trees, and finally a distribution of magical wood forests. The further you go in, the more you see those hand-shaped, withered tree trunks.

"This is the magic wood."

Timothy pointed to the withered tree trunk in the shape of a human hand and said to me.

Next, Patrice took out the axe from his waist and began chopping at the magic wood. Sarah and Mimir tied the chopped magic wood into a bundle and set it aside.

Susanna, Timothy, Silphie, and I stood guard around, watching out for monsters.

I don't know how much time has passed, nor have I kept track of it.

The gloomy weather made the surroundings seem very eerie.

Finally, Susanna, Mimir, and Patrice each carried several bundles of magic wood at the front of the group, while I, Sylphie, Sarah, Timothy, and I followed behind.

The return journey was more pleasant than the initial entry into the forest, with Susanna telling us to stay alert while cracking harmless jokes.

After walking for a while, we finally saw the sun.

It's probably around 2 or 3 pm now.

"Where's the carriage from before?"

Salad suddenly started asking questions.

Was the carriage stopped here before? I have absolutely no recollection of where the carriage was.

"Could I have remembered it wrong?"

"Susanna asked."

"No, because I made a mark."

As she spoke, Sarah walked to a large tree and pointed to a star-shaped mark.

thump.

what sound?

I turned around and saw that Hilfi had already fallen to the ground.

Next to him is Timothy, holding the other end of the staff.

It was Timothy; he knocked Hilfi unconscious with his staff...

"Finally, the most difficult problem has been solved."

"Timothy! What are you doing!"

Susanna yelled at him.

……

"Forgive me, Lord Rudeus, but someone wants to kill you."

Timothy frowned as he spoke.

His expression was forced, as if he were faking it.

Susanna threw down the magic wood she was carrying on her back, rushed forward, grabbed Timothy by the collar, and roared:

"So you betrayed us?"

Timothy looked down to the side, his expression pained. Was he hiding something? Perhaps he was being blackmailed?

Someone wants to buy my life…

The last time I heard this kind of topic was back in Roya.

Who could it be? The Notos family? Or that nobleman we met yesterday?

call out!

With a sudden whooshing sound, Susanna fell to the ground.

An arrow was stuck in her temple; she was dead.

"Susanna!"

Sarah rushed over and hugged Susanna. Seeing her crying her heart out, I didn't know what to do.

This wasn't the first time I'd witnessed someone die in front of me, but when the victim was a fellow comrade…

Will I become like that too?

"Huh...huh...huh..."

"Huh...huh..."

My breathing is getting more and more rapid... I'm almost out of breath...

My head hurts so much, it feels like it's going to burst...

A feeling of nausea welled up inside me…

"vomit……"

I finally threw it up...

He watched as a pool of liquid, the color of which he couldn't tell, gushed from his mouth, along with his undigested breakfast, and sprayed onto the ground.

Watching the viscous vomit mix with the melted snow, my headache intensified, and the nausea became even stronger.

Timothy, in a panic, sat on the ground, muttering to himself:

"Impossible...impossible..."

……

rustle…

rustle…

That's the sound of footsteps on snow; something is approaching.

However, without Susanna's command, everyone froze in place.

Until people appeared in the surrounding woods.

Mimir and Patrice stood in front of me and the distraught Sarah, looking like they were there to protect us.

The figure is getting closer and closer...

It was impossible to tell whether they were adventurers or bandits; there were probably a hundred of them. They carried all sorts of weapons, but bows and arrows were the most uncommon weapon in this other world.

It seems they were prepared.

No, I need to calm down. They're here to kill me…

"Huh...huh..."

"Huh...huh..."

I tried desperately to regulate my breathing and gradually bring my heart rate back to normal.
