Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

My name is Janis Greirat. Today is another day Rudy is away. I miss him.

Rudy and Hilfi have been gone for more than half a year and haven't written back. I don't know if he's at school or how he's doing.

I've recently heard some rumors about Rudy, and they're circulating everywhere. They say that Rudy single-handedly defeated an army of thousands, but is Rudy really that powerful?

I still hope Rudy won't push himself too hard. With Hilfi by his side, he might be able to get better quickly if he gets injured, but I'm still worried about him.

Previously, some people had come to inquire about Rudy, but the child's father, Paul, insisted that Rudy was the illegitimate son of the deceased Lord Salos. I understand that if others, especially the Notos family, knew about Rudy's background, it would definitely cause Rudy trouble.

Once you've settled in, write me a letter, Rudy.

In the last six months, our lives have changed somewhat, and we no longer live in Buyena village.

Leaving the place I've lived in for over a decade suddenly makes me a little reluctant.

Perhaps because of Rudy, Paul has now become the garrison commander of Roya, in charge of the city's security. Our whole family has also moved to Roya, living in a mansion that is even more luxurious than our original house. To be honest, Paul and I just wanted to live a peaceful and quiet life in the small village of Buena, but Noren and Aisha couldn't stay in Buena with us forever. They also needed to go out and broaden their horizons. So after discussing it with Paul, we decided to move to Roya.

Speaking of which, Norren and Aisha are already seven years old, which is about the right age to go to school. In the past, Lilia and Sylphie taught them to read and do math, and sometimes I would teach them myself. Now that we're in town, shouldn't we send them to school?

"Madam, is something troubling you?"

As I rested my chin on my hand and gazed out the window, Lilia was wiping the dining table in front of me with a rag.

I lowered my arm and used it as a pillow on the dining table, glancing sideways at Lilia. Suddenly, I felt that the person wiping the table in front of me looked like Aisha.

"Lilia, you seem to have become cuter."

Lilia's face flushed instantly, but she pretended to be calm and kept wiping the table, even though she was so shy that her glasses almost fell off.

"Madam, please don't joke around. At my age, the word 'cute' is completely out of my reach."

Lilia blushed as she spoke to me earnestly, pretending to be serious. I loved Lilia's way of saying no while her actions betrayed her words.

At this point, with just a little teasing, ...

"Then tell me, am I cute, Lilia?"

"Of course, Madam is lovely."

“I’m the same age as you, Lilia. Since you say I’m cute, then of course you’re just as cute.”

"...Yes...Madam."

After my teasing, Lilia probably wasn't going to play along with me. She put down the dishcloth and turned to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Noren and Aisha were practicing arithmetic and calligraphy at the table in the living room. Lilia seemed to think that learning was very important, so she often reminded Aisha to study hard.

In terms of academics, Norren is average, but Aisha is probably a genius. Although she can't compare to Rudy, her intelligence far surpasses that of other children her age.

Not only did she quickly learn basic fire magic, but if it weren't for the accident at Sylphie's house, she might have even learned intermediate magic. However, Norren remained stuck at the basic level of magic. Sometimes he could use it on the first day, but he would forget how to use it on the second day. It can be said that he was mediocre.

Whether it's arithmetic or calligraphy, Aisha learns extremely quickly, while Noren is much slower. Could it be that Rudy took away all the excellent qualities that should have been in Noren?

"I am back."

Welcome back.

The child's father, dressed in heavy armor and wrapped up like a tin can, returned.

"Heave-ho."

I went up to him and helped Paul take off his heavy breastplate and put it on the ground.

"Dad, welcome back."

Aisha came to help when she heard the door open. I looked into the room and saw Noren still hunched over the table, writing something.

Paul frowned, and his expression wasn't good either. Had something happened?

"Honey, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'll tell you in a bit."

His voice was somber, and Aisha didn't say anything else.

After all the armor was removed, Paul's bulky body returned to its previous lean and muscular appearance.

He removed the sword from his armor and tucked it into his waistband, then sat down next to Noren, doing nothing but silently watching him.

Something must have happened.

Lilia brought the food to the table, and Paul told her to sit opposite me, while Aisha and Noren sat opposite me behind me.

Paul didn't say a word, which made me very uneasy; I felt empty inside.

"Honey……"

"When spring comes, Norren will go to school in the capital. Everything is arranged."

"Honey, what did you say?"

Send Norren to the capital?

"Daddy...I don't want to..."

"No, we have to go."

"I...don't want to..."

"Snapped!"

What are you doing!

"Waaaaah!"

Paul, who always doted on Noren, slapped Noren. Aisha, like Lilia, looked at us in panic, as did I. Noren was sobbing in my arms.

What on earth is going on...?

"I'm sorry, Noren, for the sake of this family..."

……

Two weeks ago, at a residence in the capital

……

“Lord James, although I would like to trust you, it is really embarrassing for me that you have kept Rudius’s background a secret from me.”

A young man with soft blond hair, who looked to be around twenty-five years old, was holding a glass from the continent of Becallit, filled with wine made from fresh grapes from the Milpotz territory. In the dead of winter, obtaining fresh grapes to make wine was an extreme luxury.

Kneeling on one knee in front of him was a middle-aged man, the head of the Boreas family, James Boreas Greirat.

“Your Highness Gravel has a discerning eye, and I am foolish. But I can assure you that although Rudius has the blood of the Nottos family flowing through his veins, his father, Paul Nottos Greirat, has long since severed ties with the Nottos family. In the future, he will certainly serve Your Highness as a member of the Boreas family.”

Upon hearing James's reply, the young man addressed as Prince Gravel frowned slightly. He raised his glass, took a small sip of wine, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Since that's the case, then..."

“I heard that Paul Notos Greirat has a seven-year-old daughter. Let’s bring her to the capital and have her look after by His Highness the Prince.”

An obese man in his early fifties entered the room and spoke in a shrill voice.

"hiss……"

James, suppressing a look of disgust on his face, continued to kneel on one knee before Gravel.

The obese man gave Gravel a brief bow, then sat down in a chair in the guest section. The leather soles of his shoes, supporting his large frame, thumped on the floor, accompanied by a grating, shrill sound escaping his throat.

“Since you concealed something from His Highness before, you should show some sincerity to make up for the lack of trust between you and His Highness. You should understand this, Lord James.”

“Lord Darius, I didn’t mean that. I didn’t mean to force anything like separating children from their parents.”

Gravel put down his glass, reached behind his head, and fiddled with his soft blond hair, speaking absentmindedly.

"I was merely trying to ease His Highness's burdens, and I hope Lord James will forgive me, hahaha."

James felt a chill run down his spine after hearing Darius's sinister laugh. Although he knew it was only a matter of time before the First Prince found out that Rudyus had the blood of the Nottus family, he did not expect that the matter would be exposed so quickly.

Fortunately, only the First Prince and Darius know about this so far, but it cannot be guaranteed that the Notos family is unaware of it.

The reason they concealed Rudeus's identity, saying he was the illegitimate son of the deceased Sauros, was to prevent Rudeus's bloodline from causing trouble for future arrangements. Everyone knew that the Notos family was on the side of the second princess, Ariel, but no one expected that the truth would be exposed so quickly. In the end, they were just deceiving themselves.

If you want to salvage the situation...

“Sir James, it is too cruel to separate a seven-year-old girl from her parents. I am always compassionate, so if you find it difficult, then forget it.”

Before James could think, Gravel spoke up.

"Your Highness Gravel..."

"Of course, Lord Darius's words are not without reason. Since you, Lord James, have been hiding something from me, I will have to make some choices to avoid the worst outcome. Of course, if you, Lord James, can do something to make amends for your mistake, I will pretend that nothing happened."

“I understand, Your Highness Gravel.”

"Alright, please take a seat, Lord James. We have important business to discuss."

"Yes, Your Highness Gravel."

The prolonged kneeling made James feel dizzy and unsteady when he stood up, and he almost fell into the chair. After adjusting his posture, he slowly sat down.

After James was seated, Darius began to speak.

“In recent days, I have received reports that Her Highness Ariel has been spotted at the Imperial Guard training grounds.”

"Oh? Is Lord Darius planning another assassination attempt?"

“No, that’s not it,” Darius said with a wry smile. “Your Highness is joking. What I mean is that Princess Ariel was previously with the Knights and now she’s with the Royal Guard, which is quite consistent with the transfer history of a certain instructor.”

Upon hearing Darius's words, James knew that he was definitely referring to Alice in a veiled way. Previously, Darius had made several attempts to curry favor with Alice, but she had ignored them all. However, if the Second Princess Ariel was paying such attention to Alice, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

James chuckled; he had already anticipated this situation.

"It's just that my niece is too beautiful and has attracted the most handsome man in the capital. If Princess Ariel really cares about my niece, why does she have to personally intervene every time?"

It wasn't just Darius's men who found out about this; James also personally witnessed one of the knights guarding the princess peeking at Alice.

"Is that really true? How interesting. Let's use this to our advantage and get involved in some serious trouble."

"Yes, Your Highness Gravel."

“There is one more thing, Your Highness Gravel. The previous conversation with Lord Sal, the head of the Yerosnek family, did not go very smoothly. I’m afraid…”

Upon hearing James's report, Gravel frowned. Several years ago, during the trial where they plotted to frame Dillick and test Ariel, the Yerosnek family had clearly sided with the Second Princess, Ariel. However, it wasn't impossible to win them over. For years, the Yerosnek family, who controlled the national treasury, had been a key target for their efforts. Of the five sons in the Yerosnek family, the youngest, Carter Yerosnek, had won the right of succession, but the actual power still rested with the over seventy-year-old Sal Yerosnek, the head of the family.

“Your Highness, Lord James, I think that given Lord Sal’s condition, he probably won’t live for many more years. Therefore, my decision to win over Carter Yerosnek is the right one.”

“Yes, Lord Darius makes a good point.”

……

A young woman with a long ponytail was holding a piece of paper covered with crooked writing, sitting next to a girl with long, bright red hair.

"Alice, this is hardly a love letter to your fiancé."

"Then...then...how do I write it?"

"Honestly, who would send a love letter saying you're still alive?"

"Then... Miss Izoruti... please help me!"

"If I wrote it as, 'I don't know how you've been during these days apart, but I miss you every moment,' would that be better?"

Chapter 104: The Dao (Part 1)

……

There is still a month and a half until the opening ceremony.

After I solved the blackboard problem, Hilfi spent all her time in the library. After our morning run, she would go straight to the library after breakfast. She would eat lunch and dinner in the cafeteria, and then return to the library. She would quietly come back at night after we, along with Professor Loki, had fallen asleep.

How long has it been since I had lunch and dinner with Silphie? It feels like almost a month.

These past few days I've been researching streetlights with Professor Loki, but we haven't had any ideas about the magic circle. I've asked many teachers for advice, and they can teach me magic circles that continuously generate light and heat, but we still can't solve the problem of connecting all the streetlights together.

Connecting all the streetlights together is not impossible, but that would require a huge magic circle that could cover the entire campus, which seems unrealistic just to think about.

Some books also describe luminous crystals that absorb magic during the day and glow at night. They are very expensive to make, and I have never seen one in Roya's mansion. It is basically a pipe dream to think that they can be widely used in schools.
