Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

The best way to survive is to sneak out under the pretense of buying breakfast when it's just getting light, but Lala might not be awake yet at that time.

"Okay, okay, stop knocking. Teacher Luo Qixi moved out yesterday."

A teacher opened the door and said to me.

This teacher looks quite old, although they seem to be around the same age, but it's not the Merlin teacher I've met before.

He said that Ms. Luo Qixi moved away...

The fact that Lala has accommodation at the university suggests that she may have used Professor Loki's name.

She moved away. Where did she go...?

She's not here...

Maybe I'll forget about her after a while, or maybe she'll come back after a while.

Jobless Reincarnation: Even Without Transfer Events, I Will Still Live Seriously [Chapter 79] A Side Note

Chapter 79: Whispers

……

Royal Capital Ars

In the heart of the western coastal plain of the Kingdom of Asra, lies the world's largest city. In the center of this fertile plain are mountains that, while not towering, are high enough to overlook the entire capital region.

The magnificent palace perched atop the hill is the solemn royal palace of the Kingdom of Asura—the Silver Palace.

The castle is surrounded by the enormous mansions where the upper-class nobles reside. Then there are the fortress-like walls that encircle them, and the wide streetscapes that stretch endlessly from there.

A massive arena, a luxurious training ground for the knights, the beautiful temple of the Saint Milis Order, land bridges scattered throughout the town, the headquarters of the world's largest trading company, the dojo of the Mizukami-ryu clan, an opera house district lined with theaters, and a red-light district filled with the alluring charm of women, and so on.

In the elegant and luxurious training ground of the knights, which was predominantly silver-white, a fifteen-year-old red-haired girl with various weighted sandbags strapped to her body was constantly swinging her sword, just like the knights around her.

She herself is currently an apprentice knight, but in a few months, she will truly become a glorious knight.

"Alice Boreas Greirat!"

"road!"

"Step forward!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, the red-haired girl, who used to be quite fierce and was known as the Red Monkey Princess, had gradually shed her former arrogance in front of others. The simplest rule, such as obeying the orders of her superiors, had become a daily rule in her mind after more than a month of training.

All of this stemmed from a single piece of advice from my father.

She didn't know how long she had cried. Perhaps she had cried until her tears ran dry on the way from the territory of Fituia to the capital. Changes in life can make many people change, and she was no exception.

In order to become the man she promised to marry ten years later, she also had to become part of the blueprint her father had planned.

A bald, obese nobleman with a mustache was waiting in one of the knights' quarters, while behind him stood several orc maids, a sight rarely seen in the capital.

Each beastman maid carried a beautifully wrapped gift box, some long, some short, some square, some round. Inside the boxes might be a priceless sword, a rare magical artifact, or something else entirely…

Not long after, the red-haired girl, led by a middle-aged knight with a neat short haircut, entered the reception room carrying her helmet.

Upon seeing the obese nobleman, the two knelt down on one knee and bowed to him.

The middle-aged knight lowered his head, revealing his status, and spoke calmly in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the obese nobleman to hear.

"Lord Darius, the person you are looking for has been brought to you."

"Okay, thank you for your help. Go on with your work."

The red-haired girl felt disgusted just hearing the obese nobleman speak, but she had no choice but to endure it so as not to cause trouble for her father.

The middle-aged knight bowed again and then got up and left.

Only the red-haired girl remained in the waiting room.

"Hmm~ You must be Alice. I held you when you were little. I never imagined you would grow into such a beautiful young woman."

“I am Alice Boreas Grerat, and I am grateful for your kindness, sir.”

Hearing the obese nobleman's nauseating voice, Alice was extremely reluctant to endure it, and her teeth began to chatter. However, after a struggle with her conscience, she chose to bear it.

Despite her lack of fluency, she managed to squeeze out a few words.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she felt she hadn't made any mistakes.

Upon hearing the polite response from the red-haired girl named Alice, the nobleman revealed a disgusting smile.

“These things are for you. I will ask your brother to come see you in a few days. If you feel tired, just tell Captain Adis.”

Having said that, the obese nobleman swaggered away, his round belly bulging, leaving behind only the maids carrying the gifts.

"That's disgusting."

The girl cursed inwardly.

She knew the identity of this obese nobleman. If she openly contradicted him, it would inevitably cause her father a lot of trouble. All of this was instructed by her father, including how she should behave when meeting this obese nobleman.

As the footsteps of the obese nobleman faded away, she stood up and walked toward the door.

The servants carrying the gifts blocked her way.

What are you doing?

The girl asked with a puzzled look.

The maid standing in the middle raised her head, as if taking advantage of the obese nobleman's imposing presence, and spoke in an arrogant tone:

"Lady Alice, this is a gift from Lord Darius..."

"Go away!"

"Yes…"

Before the maid could finish speaking, she was met with a roar from the girl. Perhaps they lacked the confidence to act under the girl's authority, or perhaps they were intimidated by the girl's frightening anger, they could only reluctantly step aside.

After the girl left, the servants discussed the matter and finally decided on a way that would neither be punished by the nobles nor become the target of the girl's venting.

That day, the girl's father, Philip, the lord of the Fituia territory, received several gifts at his mansion in the capital: a single-edged sword crafted by one of the best artisans in the entire capital, an arm guard inlaid with magic stones retrieved from the Sky Continent by countless adventurers sacrificing their blood, and a beautiful red gauze dress that would make any socialite in the capital swoon...

But the girl never touched these things after learning where they came from. At most, she would just throw them into the storeroom, where they became good neighbors with the paint, hammer, bricks, and ladders used for house repairs.

Time passed day by day, and the girl, as always, sometimes practiced swordsmanship with other apprentice knights in the training grounds, and sometimes took on patrol duties in the capital.

The girl would occasionally look north. She didn't know what university the boy she was engaged to was attending, but she knew that it was in a cold region north of the Red Dragon Mountains.

I wonder how he's doing now, and whether he's secretly committed to another girl?

She didn't know, but more than anything, as long as the boy still had her in his heart, that was enough.

……

"She's so beautiful."

"Luke, have you fallen for her?"

“Your Highness, Luke, as far as I know, she seems to be engaged to that legendary hero who single-handedly defeated the Lanoa noble army.”

"Oh? That's something to look forward to."

Chapter 80: Karma (Part 1)

……

The girl named Lala moved away. Or rather, it's more accurate to say that...

Never mind, I can't say for sure.

I don't know if she will come back. Maybe she has gone to complete her own mission. But I don't know why we met. It felt like it was deliberately arranged. She didn't tell me why she came to see me. I have no idea what my future will be like. But I feel inexplicably close to her. I subconsciously want to believe her.

But Lala's speaking habits and actions are indeed unlike those of people from this time and space.

Although the veracity of her words remains to be verified, I don't think it's meaningful to dwell on those things.

Regardless of what happened in her time and space, I have my own life in this time and space.

No matter what happens, I can only deal with it. Moreover, I have no chance to start over. I must do everything in my power and by any means necessary to deal with it.

But now we're at school, which is probably a relatively relaxed environment.

With that thought in mind, I composed myself and walked out of the dormitory building where Lala lived.

After leaving the building, I went to the restaurant to buy breakfast for three people, put it in the bamboo basket I used to pack the food, and then returned to the suite.

The breakfasts at the university were more plentiful than I had imagined, with large slices of ham, cream bread, boiled eggs, and fresh vegetables that are not commonly found in the northern winter. And the prices were incredibly cheap; I reckon one Asura gold coin could keep me from worrying about food for a whole year.

……

"I am back."

Welcome back.

When I said, "I'm back," both ladies in the suite said "Welcome back" at the same time, even though they were in different rooms.

I suddenly felt a longing for a family of three. Perhaps it was the influence of my life experience at nearly fifty years old. In my previous life, some of my peers at this age might have already started taking care of their children.

I might have to wait another ten or twenty years to enjoy this kind of family bliss...

By then, I'll be... seventy or eighty years old?

I shook my head, stopped my random thoughts, closed the door, and went into the living room.

Ms. Luo Qixi was writing something on her desk in her bedroom, probably something she needed to prepare for class today.

Hilfi was wearing a newly changed bell-sleeved shirt and an apron, holding a mop, and was wiping the living room floor.

At first, I thought I was seeing things wrong, because this kind of thing is usually done by Miss Lilia.

That's right, Miss Lilia isn't here, and when she first moved in, Silphie said she would take on the housework.

But as the only man in this "home", how could he just watch Hilfi clean by herself and do nothing?

"Rudy?"

When Hilfi noticed that I was staring at her, she stopped what she was doing.

"Silphie, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Rudy has already worked hard enough buying breakfast, he can just sit on the sofa."

"I didn't work hard at all."

I muttered something under my breath and carefully made my way around the wet area into the dining room. I placed the bamboo basket containing breakfast on the table and then arranged the breakfast neatly on the table. It was just enough for three people. Sylphie and I each had a regular bread, while Teacher Loki had a bread with cream that was specially prepared for her. In addition, there was a slice of ham for each of us.

After setting out the breakfast, I took a water glass from the cabinet and used water magic and fire magic to create a cup of hot water, which I then brought to the living room.

At this moment, Hilfi had finished mopping the floor and was using wind magic without chanting to dry the floor that had been wet by the mop.

It seems that Hilfi is already quite skilled at doing housework; if I wanted to help, I would probably only make things worse.

"You've worked hard, Silphie, have some water."

"Thank you, Rudy."

Hilfi stopped what she was doing, took the water glass with both hands, and sipped it slowly. Every now and then, she would look up and smile at me, which made my face unconsciously turn red and hot.

"Rudy? What's for breakfast?"

Teacher Luo Qixi stretched as she walked out of the bedroom. After entering the living room, she covered her waist with one hand and touched her head with the other, yawning and looking listless.

Being a teacher is really hard work.

But Professor Loki is different; Professor Loki is a god! With her king-level strength and such diligent work, Professor Loki will surely become the principal of the magic university soon!

"I've prepared a Michelin-starred deluxe breakfast!"

What is Michelin?

"Ah~ phew~ Rudy always says strange things."

"Alright, just come with me."

I pushed Ms. Luo Qixi by the back into the restaurant. Actually, if I had two hands, this would have been a very heartwarming scene, but now that I no longer have a girlfriend like when I was single, it felt like I was forcibly pushing Ms. Luo Qixi.

If it were Alice, she might have been a little angry and said something to me, but Ms. Lokishi obediently went into the restaurant, perhaps because she was a little tired and sleepy.
