Seeing her watching the show with an air of detached amusement, I didn't really want to talk to her much.
"That's so arrogant, they don't even respect us!"
Their gazes immediately turned stern, but did they think I was a junior high school student who had just graduated from elementary school?
I'm sorry, uncle, how could I possibly be afraid of two little kids like you?
In the past, I would have found their eyes terrifying, but not now. They can't possibly be stronger than Paul or Professor Merlin, and besides, I really do hold lives in my hands.
I ignored them and instead glared at them, just as I would at those bandits and those disgusting nobles.
Before I knew it, I felt as if I had returned to the ground from mid-air, and I could feel the solidity under my feet.
I looked up at the big guy from before, and he was already trembling.
What does it taste like?
A foul stench assaulted my nostrils, and I looked down sharply. There was already a small puddle under the big guy's feet.
Were you so scared that you wet your pants?
The group of people who were so aggressive just moments ago are now speechless.
I gently pushed the big guy aside and walked towards the two beastmen girls in the middle of the crowd. The other henchmen also made way for me.
"Now I want to ask, you're here to cause trouble, aren't you?"
"I heard he has murders on his hands, meow."
“Should we be afraid of him?” Fakle asked.
"If you're going to cause trouble, just do it right. Stop dawdling around and arguing. If you're going to be delinquents, be thoroughly delinquent. What are you afraid of? Koumo yarou'er (retroflex consonant)!"
I imitated the way middle school and high school delinquents spoke in my past life, and even added the signature rolled "r" sounds of delinquents and motorcycle gangs.
The cat-eared girl and the dog-eared girl seemed to be provoked by my words. They were just discussing whether to continue, but now they became defiant again.
The cat-eared girl stepped forward, her fingernails fully exposed, as if she wanted to scratch my face until it was covered in scratches.
"What a dishonest fellow! I like you, meow. Listen up, my name is Linia Tedludia, a third-year student, meow. I am the daughter of Juyes, the warrior captain of Tedludia Village in the Great Forest. I will become the clan chief in the future, meow. You'd better serve me well from now on, or you will definitely regret it later, meow."
“My name is Prusena, just like hers, Fakel said.”
The dog-eared girl also stepped forward, but her remarks seemed much more childish.
Since that's the case, I'll introduce myself as well.
However, it turns out they are princesses of the beast race. No wonder they are surrounded by a bunch of lackeys, and they are also a very troublesome group.
But that's fine too. I remember they were there when we made the bet, so I might as well be a little arrogant and take them all out.
“My name is Rudius Boreas Grerat. I’m here to deal with you. The rumors about me are mostly true. Ladies, please keep your heads down from now on.”
"You little rascal, meow! Don't look down on people, meow! I'm going to strip you naked and splash you with water!"
"Fakr said!"
Upon hearing me speak like that, Linia and Prusena reacted as if they'd been electrocuted, their fur practically standing on end.
Perfect timing! Go ahead and make your move. If you make the first move, I'll have a legitimate reason to eliminate you.
"Are you going to fight here? I am now ordering you to disperse immediately in the name of the vice principal, or you will be expelled!"
Just as I was waiting for Linia and Prusena to make their move so I could take care of them, Vice Principal Genas appeared in the dining hall.
"Remember this next time, meow!"
"Fakr said!"
After uttering those harsh words, the two of them led their twenty-odd henchmen away from the cafeteria, shouting and cursing.
Seeing that the troublemakers had all dispersed, Vice Principal Genius glanced at me from afar and then left. If he hadn't shown up, a fight might have already broken out.
"You were very cool just now, Lord Rudeus."
Lilith looked at me with an extremely alluring expression.
"Really? Haha."
……
Lanoa Magic University Library
……
"Would you like something to eat, Silphie?"
"Teacher Luo Qixi?"
Hilfi, wearing a librarian's brooch, was sorting through the books returned by students in the librarian's office.
Seeing Loki suddenly appear before her, Hilfi stood frozen in surprise.
Luo Qixi was carrying a bamboo basket containing two loaves of bread.
She took out a piece of bread and handed it to Sylphie, saying:
"I heard from the curator that you came here right after class, so you probably haven't eaten yet."
"Uh-huh."
Hilfi took the bread and nodded silently.
"Thank you, Ms. Luo Qixi."
After hearing Hilfi's thanks, Loki scratched the back of her head shyly.
"Don't mention it, we're family after all."
Chapter 125: Family
Jobless Reincarnation: Even Without a Transfer Event, I Will Still Live Seriously [Chapter 125] Family
Chapter 125: Family
……
"Family... well."
Hilfi held the bread in both hands and fed it bit by bit into her mouth like a silkworm nibbling on mulberry leaves.
She had no appetite for bread. Her days were filled with morning runs, meals, classes, more meals and classes, and library work. When she dragged her tired body back to her dormitory, it was to cut off all unnecessary thoughts and stop thinking about anyone and anything.
The more you think, the more pain you experience.
"Hilufi, you always leave home at the crack of dawn and don't return to the dorm until midnight. Is that really okay?"
After Silphie finished eating the bread in her hand, Loki handed her another piece of bread.
Hilfi shook her head slightly, her face expressionless, only managing a very forced smile.
"I'm fine, Ms. Luo Qixi."
"Are you really okay? I could understand you coming home late before, but now you're coming home in the middle of the night. Look at the state you're in now."
Luo Qixi looked up at the girl in front of her, who still had crumbs of bread around her mouth, and suddenly felt as if her heart was drowning. The girl had slightly tired dark spots at the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were also a little red and swollen. Luo Qixi could roughly guess what had happened.
"I...I'm really fine."
Seeing that Sylphie was unwilling to reveal anything, Loki sighed softly and said:
"Hilufi, what do you think of Rudy?"
Hilfi was stunned; her mind went blank when Rudeus was mentioned.
The five-year-old boy who rescued her from a group of bad kids, the one who taught her magic so she wouldn't be bullied anymore, the one who lost an arm to protect her, and even the one who was willing to bear the same sins as the Sperud people for her sake.
Who is he?
He used to say things like, "Silphie, I love you," "Silphie, you are important to me," and "Silphie, I will never leave you," over and over again.
But now, apart from living together, it seems that they have nothing to do with me anymore.
"I...I...I don't know..."
Hilufi's voice was choked with sobs. She didn't have time to wipe the bread crumbs from the corner of her mouth, didn't have time to get a good night's sleep, and didn't have time to take care of herself.
Loki took out a handkerchief and wiped the bread crumbs from the corner of Hilfi's mouth.
“I know that Hilfi likes Rudy.”
"But...what...what's the use of that..."
As she spoke, two lines of tears streamed down Hilfi's cheeks; she couldn't hold back anymore.
She kept raising her hand to wipe away the tears welling up in her swollen eyes, but what could she do? She couldn't wipe them away completely.
"I... Rudy is all I have in my world now... Waaaaaah... Rudy... He clearly said... he liked me... But... Rudy... is with Miss Lilith... Waaaaaahhhhh..."
"Waaaaah... Ahhhhhh..."
"It's all my own fault... Who told me to disappoint Rudy... I..."
"Waaah..."
Before Hilfi could react, Loki hugged her.
“We are family, Rudy is, and so is Silphie. We live together, so we are already family.”
"family……"
Hilfi wrapped her arms around Loki's waist, entrusting all her weight to Loki, as if all the pressure on her body had been released.
She held Luo Qixi tightly.
“Are Ms. Loki and Rudy my family…? I thought… I was… homeless…”
"Of course, Silphie, even if Rudy and you may not become lovers, you are still an important person to him. Similarly, you are an important person to me. We are family."
"Teacher Luo Qixi..."
“Come back with me, Silphie.”
"Um……"
……
"I am back."
Welcome back.
Strange, this time it sounds like two people's voices.
Could it be... that person has returned...?
After dinner, I said goodbye to Lilith and returned to my dormitory.
Stepping into the living room, I saw that person again after a long time.
Seated on the sofa was a long-eared girl with emerald green hair. Her eyes were red and swollen, as if they had been there for some time, and there were faint dark circles under her eyes. Was this still... Sylphie...?
The girl before me was so haggard that I couldn't find another word to describe her.
With her red and swollen eyes and dark circles under them, I can hardly imagine how she has spent these past few days.
"Rudy, welcome back."
She spoke, and her words seemed to convey a sense of energy.
She's just putting on a brave face; she's just stubbornly holding on.
"I'm sorry... Sylphie... about Lilith..."
She shook her head slightly and forced a smile.
"Rudy, there's no need to apologize. After all, we're family..."
"family……"
Is Hilfi like family to me?
"Rudy? What are you standing for? Sit down."
"Teacher Luo Qixi grabbed my hand and said."
"Yes."
I felt a little awkward. I didn't know how to face Sylphie, especially in her current state.
