Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"I guess so, because ambitious people always attract each other."

The girl lay beside me, placing my hand on her chest, a burning heat coursing through my body.

"Let's cooperate, Lord Rudius."

……

Spring has arrived, but the northern lands remain cold as ever.

We're almost at Sharia. It snowed a few days ago, but not much. The carriages only left very shallow tracks on the ground.

I've lost all sense of dates lately, and if I remember correctly, I've probably already missed the opening ceremony.

I don't know how well Sylphie's speech as a new student went, but it's pointless now. Merlin is gone, and his trump card, "Disruptive Magic," isn't that difficult for me. It's just using magic to interfere with the opponent. With more practice, it can become a very useful move.

As for Merlin's funeral arrangements, I don't need to worry about them at all. As expected of a woman working for the Second Prince, Lilith found a respectable and natural reason for Merlin's death—natural death from old age. She even prepared a certificate from the Rosenberg Medical Center and sent it to La Noah Magic University and the Magic Association. Her skill in handling matters made me wonder if she would have handled my funeral arrangements the same way if I were the one who died.

Of course, Merlin's death was indeed related to her, but I didn't ask her for details. I was the one who killed him. All the reasons could probably be attributed to the second prince behind her. She had a clear goal: to help the second prince, Halphas, ascend the throne.

Therefore, I don't really care what kind of deal she made with Teacher Merlin, because maybe they have already achieved their goal in the deal, and I have a general idea of ​​what their deal was about.

Since it's all related to the Second Prince, Lilith has never revealed a single word to me about how I should help Prince Halphas.

"Lord Lilith."

A person who seemed to be a messenger opened the car window curtain and handed a note to Lilith, who was sitting next to me.

“Lord Rudius, once you return to Sharia, all your previous efforts to dispel the rumors may have been in vain.”

She was holding my arm, her deep blue eyes constantly capturing my gaze.

Why do you say that?

"Oh dear, I told you, please don't be angry."

After a few days of contact, Lilith rarely used the term "this concubine" to refer to herself anymore. I don't know if it was because I had been sleeping with her these past few days or for some other reason, but she became more and more promiscuous with me.

Is this the woman with Grerat family blood? She's really a bit overwhelming.

"Just tell me."

"At the opening ceremony of Lanoa Magic University, the student who spoke on behalf of the new students was quite fierce; he scolded all the students."

She berated all the students, implying that Hilfi had botched the freshman speech.

Hilfi doesn't seem like the type to swear, but my and Hilfi's reputations might be affected by the rumors again.

Forget it, I've already mastered the method of learning the Chaotic Demon, so other things are no longer important.

"That guy's name is... hope..."

"Okay, I see."

There's no need to listen to her anymore. Perhaps I had too high expectations for Sylphie, which is why I entrusted her with a task she couldn't possibly accomplish.

University is not just about studying; it also involves interpersonal relationships, which I'm not sure I can handle well, so I can't expect anything from Silphie.

"Lord Rudeus, I've heard that you and that Miss Silphiette have a rather unusual relationship."

You know that?

"Of course I know. How can I get close to Lord Rudeus without doing my homework?"

Lilith probably already knew everything about me and everything related to me, and she probably even meticulously planned the timing of her appearance in front of me.

"Then tell me, how special is my relationship with Sylphie?"

"That's what makes it so special."

As she spoke, she slowly climbed onto me, cupped my cheeks in her hands, closed her eyes slightly, and kissed me, beginning the ritual of Eden.

I did not resist; instead, I held her tightly in both arms and continued the ceremony.

After a burst of music and singing, she returned to her previous composed and dignified demeanor as a young lady. But regardless of her public persona, those accompanying her must have known what had happened inside the carriage.

"This kind of thing has suddenly become as common as eating. Let's keep it brief in the future. I don't want Silphie and Professor Loki to misunderstand anything."

I put my clothes back on and spoke as if nothing had happened.

Even if the popular male protagonist in a glagame must feel a deep sense of guilt towards other girls at this moment, it seems completely superfluous to me, a person with the nature of a scumbag.

But perhaps this is what Lilith hoped for.

"We've arrived, Lord Rudeus."

Lilith pulled back the curtain on the car window and spoke to the school gate outside.

"knew."

After saying that, I picked up Mr. Merlin's cigarette holder as his only remaining possession, pretended to be a good student who had lost his mentor, and even used water magic to leave a trace of tears around my eyes.

I didn't get off the carriage until Lilith confirmed that there was nothing amiss.

Outside the carriage, Hilfi and teacher Loki were already waiting.

Lilith probably delivered letters to them.

"hope……"

Before I could speak, Silphie rushed into my arms. I could feel her face, which was cold from waiting outside, and her arms were tightly wrapped around my waist.

I reached my hands behind her back. The white fur on her coat was incredibly soft, and she herself exuded a unique fragrance that was just as soft as she was.

"Thank you for your hard work, Rudy."

I looked up and saw Ms. Luo Qixi looking at me with a relieved expression.

She tucked her hands, which were red and white from the cold, into the sleeves of her cotton-padded coat, and her body was shivering incessantly, looking as cute as a penguin in Antarctica.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that the carriage had already driven away, and the escorting cavalry had also left. A lone figure in brown entered the school.

"Rudy, it's so good to see you back."

Hilfi was nestled in my arms, her voice trembling with tears.

"Yes, I'm back, Silphie."

Jobless Reincarnation: Even Without Transfer Events, I Will Live Seriously [Chapter 120] Fellow Paths

Chapter 120: Fellow Travelers

……

On the second day back at school, life seemed to return to normal. After getting up in the morning, I went for a run with Hilfi, and then went back to the dormitory to have breakfast with Hilfi and teacher Loki.

After returning to school yesterday, I selectively told Ms. Loki about Ms. Merlin's "natural death" and my encounter with Lilith.

Also, Professor Loki and Silphie probably thought that Professor Merlin didn't teach me the Chaos Demon because he was too old and passed away, but actually I deliberately hid it from them because it was really hard to make up such a lie.

As for what I did with Lilith in private, I would never tell them, even if you killed me.

"So, His Highness the Second Prince values ​​Rudy very much."

"Teacher Luo Qixi said as she put the bread into her mouth."

"I suppose so. After all, it was Miss Lilith who delivered the letters to Sirufie and Loki to let them know I was safe, and who also arrived in time to arrange Merlin's funeral. And all of this was at the behest of the Second Prince."

"If that's the case, Rudy will definitely be highly valued by the royal family after he returns to the Kingdom of Asura."

"Maybe."

I had just given a brief overview, and Ms. Luo Qixi listened to me with great interest, as if I were telling a story.

But Hilfi remained seated, nodding occasionally and eating slowly, bit by bit.

Perhaps because of the opening ceremony, I felt I needed to comfort her.

"I heard about the opening ceremony, Silphie, you did a great job."

"Really?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Hilfi raised her head, her two slender ears swaying back and forth, and the tears welling up in the corners of her eyes made me feel both heartache and love for her.

"Of course it's true."

I replied.

But Hilfi's face quickly darkened again, and she looked very aggrieved.

"Rudy, you don't need to comfort me. I was just being smug for the moment. I was feeling smug right after it was over, but when I thought about it later, I realized that I was the one who caused trouble for Rudy."

“Silphi…”

"Sylphie did a great job. It was the other students who went too far."

Teacher Luo Qixi put down the bread, straightened her face, and said to Xilufei.

"But... Waaah... Waaah... I..."

"I...in the end...waaaaah..."

"I didn't help at all... Waaah..."

As soon as Teacher Luo Qixi finished speaking, Xilufei threw herself into my arms, crying with tears streaming down her face, as if she had been holding back her emotions for a long time.

I patted her back gently, and she cried for a while before she calmed down.

By then, Ms. Luo Qixi had already cleaned up the entire dining table.

Now that I think about it, was Silphi just trying to be cute last night?

Well, after all, the speech for the new students at the opening ceremony, which I had prepared for three months, suddenly seemed to have been completely wasted and meaningless.

I can somewhat understand that feeling. It's like when my brother suddenly smashes my computer, which holds countless treasured videos and games, or when an online game I've played for years is suddenly deleted and taken down. That sense of loss is hard to make up for.

But Silphi recovered quickly after I got up this morning. After running with her, I went back to my room to do extra training, such as dumbbell exercises made with homemade magic.

Merlin's example is enough to illustrate the point: a magician not only needs enough magical power and powerful magic, but physical fitness is also the most crucial factor.

After breakfast, school classes began.

After I parted ways with Hilfi in the teaching building, she went to Building A, which represented the top students, while I went to Building C, which was full of students of average or below-average ability.

"Lord Rudius."

As soon as I stepped into the teaching building, I saw a girl with long brown hair, wearing a black fur coat on top and a long skirt that looked like it wouldn't be very convenient for her to move around in, already waiting behind the building entrance.

"Lilith? You're in Class C too?"

"Of course, but I didn't expect that the mighty Water Saint-level magician Rudeus would be assigned to Class C."

She held her head high, looking at me with disdain.

You weren't like this in bed before yesterday, Miss Lilith.

"You've already investigated that I was assigned to Class C, haven't you? That's quite an obvious taunt, Miss Lilith."

"Oh dear, you've caught me. As expected of Lord Rudeus."

As she spoke, Lilith stepped forward and took my arm, just as some students happened to pass by.

I quickly pushed her away. With so many people around, if word got back to Hilfi about my close contact with Lilith, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you, you bastard?"

"Haha, since we're looking for thrills, let's go all the way, Lord Rudeus."

"Alright, be serious and tell me what you want by waiting for me here?"

"Ah, is this Lord Rudeus's attitude towards cooperation?"

As Lilith spoke, she teased me, constantly flicking my shoulder with her little finger.

"I never agreed to cooperate with you."

"That night, as soon as I finished speaking, Lord Rudeus kissed me. Lord Rudeus, you wanted to say yes, didn't you?"

"Okay, that's settled then."

“That’s right. Come with me, Lord Rudeus.”

After saying that, Lilith walked out of the teaching building, and I followed her into the comprehensive teaching building. We stopped in front of a door with a sign that read "Student Council Room".

"Lord Rudius should know who the student council president of this school is, right?"

Student council president?
