Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

Paul was actually a positive example in this respect. Perhaps because of his dissolute lifestyle, he was a role model for the men of the Grellatt family in that regard.

"Rudeus, I ask you, do you like Alice?" Hilda said, taking a sip of soup and then elegantly wiping her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Yes... there is a little..." This question made me very embarrassed, because I already have Silphie.

But for Alice...

"I understand. You wouldn't be so hung up on that little girl from Buyena Village that you're not considering Alice, would you?"

Hilda lifted my chin with her fingers and said.

This move was tricky, forcing me to look Hilda directly in the eyes, so that any thoughts of lying would be seen through.

"I do like Sylphie, that's for sure..."

"That makes things easier."

Hilda breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since you don't dislike Alice, and judging from your reaction you even seem to like her a little, why don't you just marry them both in the future?"

"Huh? Is it really okay?"

Marrying both Alice and Sylphie? Is this for real?! As a 40-year-old NEET who never had anything to do with women in his past life, how could he possibly drown in their charms in this one? Could his dream of becoming the male lead in an adult game finally come true in this lifetime?

From then on, I set my second life goal besides building a harem all over the world: to marry both Silphie and Alice!

"But what about Alice...?"

"Go apologize," the couple said in unison.

"Yes...yes"

Am I so oblivious that I can't even read a girl's mind? I always thought Alice wouldn't have any feelings for me. Turns out, what I read about that kind of thing on those adult games was true.

I went upstairs and stood in front of Alice's room. I knocked on the door a few times, but she didn't answer.

"Alice?"

"Shh!"

The door was suddenly flung open, and the "beautiful girl" in front of her was breathing heavily through her nose, baring her teeth, and exuding a murderous aura, looking just like a Nioh statue.

"Um... Alice... I..."

"Waaah!"

I only saw her raise her hand and throw a punch before I lost consciousness.

……

"Ah, it hurts."

I opened my eyes and found that the room was not decorated like my own bedroom. I was covered with a blanket, and there was a sweet scent of hair on the pillow.

This is the taste of Alice.

"Alice?"

I slowly turned my head and found her sitting in the corner near the door, hugging her knees, her face buried in her arms, looking like she had been wronged.

I was the one who got hit...

After I used healing magic to heal the wounds on my face, I got out of bed and sat down next to Alice, then put my hand on her shoulder.

"Alice?"

"Don't touch me!"

She pushed my hand away again.

After pushing my hand away, she shrank back and whispered, "Stupid Rudeus."

Looking at it this way, Alice is actually quite cute.

It's pretty good, it has the feel of a school anime.

"Rudius doesn't like me."

"Who said that? I like... no, I mean Alice."

"I know I'm not as good as Sylphie!"

"You idiot Rudius!"

"Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!"

Alice called me an idiot while her fists rained down on me like a meteor shower.

"Okay, okay, I like Alice a lot too."

I quickly hugged her; if this continued, she might beat me to death.

However, I really wanted to hug her, because I had indeed developed feelings for Alice.

"Liar! You idiot Rudeus."

After being hugged, Alice was still verbally aggressive, but her body surprisingly behaved obediently.

"I'm not lying, I really like Alice."

"Really?"

"Oh really."

Alice suddenly raised her head, pressed her hands against my face, and kissed me.

"No! No! No!"

"My mom taught me this."

"Alice..."

I'm sorry, Silphie, I can't give you my first kiss.

Chapter Fourteen: Two Years (Part Three)

Chapter Fourteen: Two Years (Part Three)

……

"Rudeus, this is an adult's kiss, meow~"

"Alice..."

The red devil exhaled hot breath through her small nose, her fair cheeks flushed, as she greedily stared at her prey.

Her slender yet strong fingers gently touched my lips, completely numbing my ability to think.

Her fingers slowly slid down, easily unbuttoning my lapel pin and the first button, exposing my entire neck to her view.

This wasn't a twelve-year-old girl; she was a wild beast, about to devour me in an instant. My experience as a young girl told me that I should take the initiative and go for base. However, I was completely pinned to the ground and couldn't move.

If this continues...

……

"Boom, boom"

There was a knock at the door; it might be the maid coming in to clean. Or it could be something else important; James might arrive at the mansion around this time.

"Miss Alice, Lord Rudius, Lord Philip has given orders..."

"Go away!"

Alice shouted through the door.

Even if he was disturbed, how could the Red Devil let it go?

But in that very moment of being disturbed, I regained my ability to think.

I can't make a move on her, even if it's passive. This is for many reasons. This time Alice took the initiative, but knowing my personality, I'll definitely pursue her like a monkey in heat in the future. In my past life, I was a scumbag NEET, and in this life, I'll be a perverted sex fiend being led around like a puppet.

Then there's Philip. Although I don't know what Paul and Philip said during their argument on my birthday, I can guess that it might be related to Alice, or even involve more things.

But how can I refuse Alice when she pounces on me?

I think the answer is no.

In the struggle between instinct and reason, instinct ultimately prevailed.

Whatever may happen, I will quietly wait to be devoured by this beast.

Cut off, sliced, and chopped up by desire.

"Rudius, you are too young."

Ah!

"Small...small? You mean?"

Time and again, Alice called him "small," and his dignity as a man was repeatedly nailed to the pillar of shame.

Although Alice probably wasn't referring to that aspect.

Alice climbed off me, straightened her clothes and hair, and said with her back to me, "Rudeus is only ten years old. An adult's kiss is enough. We can talk about the rest when you become an adult. Rudeus, you'd better be patient, meow."

Huh? Was it because I was too young that I didn't catch Alice's eye? In a moment of impulse, I completely forgot that Alice is still a child. Although I am just a "child" myself, as a forty-something-year-old adult, my principles and integrity regarding what I can and cannot do are far inferior to Alice's.

Alice truly cares about me. She comforts me when I'm down, comes to sleep with me after I've been depressed for a while, and even when she talks in her sleep or says she'll protect me in a moment of passion, she's completely thinking about me.

Including suddenly stopping just before reaching base, even though she was still angry that I hadn't touched her, maybe she just wanted to know if I liked her or not. However, she most likely considered things I hadn't: getting together, having children, marriage—she probably already thought about those things.

She saved me at that moment. Alice, she really is an angel, no, a demonic angel.

Miss Alice! I want to have your babies!

I got up from the ground, brushed the dust off my clothes, straightened my collar, and found that Alice was already ready.

I opened the door, and the maid was still waiting outside, too afraid to leave.

She was a cat maid with drooping ears and a tail that hung down to the ground as if it had been frosted over.

"cough cough"

I coughed lightly to clear my throat.

"Excuse me, may I ask what business Lord Philip has with us?"

The maid glanced timidly at Alice and then whispered:

"Um... Lord Philip instructed you two to proceed to the reception room."

Is this the waiting room? James must have already arrived.

"Okay, thank you. Alice and I will be there shortly."

The maid bowed and then left.

"Alice, have you met Mr. James?"

"Of course I've met him. My uncle is a gentle man, like a father, but my grandfather doesn't like him very much."

Is her personality like Philip's? No wonder Sauros dotes on Alice so much. Both of his sons are gentle and easy-going, but only his granddaughter Alice is strikingly similar to Sauros in personality, although Alice is imitating Sauros.

Furthermore, Alice said that James wasn't very popular with Shores, and historically, his winning percentage was probably lower than Philip's, but even so, he still won the top spot, which makes him quite a remarkable person.

"James! You bastard!!"

"boom!"

"Yes!"

"You bastard!!"

"boom!"

"Yes!"

"Bastard!"

"boom!"

The loud noise could be heard from afar. Just as I reached the living room doorway, a middle-aged man flew over. His face was swollen like a pufferfish, covered in bruises and welts; it was a terrifying sight. The man immediately got up, walked over to Shaoluos, and was then punched away again.

He was probably James, and he was beaten up because Shros was angry about Alice.

I and another woman sitting in the room, who looked like James's wife, looked horrified, as if I were the one who had been hit, while Alice's face remained unchanged, as if she was already used to it.
