Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation: Succubus Sword God? I don't recognize it!

Chapter 127 Mother and Son

At Alan's kind invitation.

With a stiff smile, Edna chose to flee in panic.

I didn't even want to sit in on the magic and swordsmanship classes in the afternoon.

As for the reason, it may be because in her eyes, Alan is too hard.

A few more blows during the afternoon swordplay class might destroy the professional ethics she had upheld for decades.

This was totally unacceptable to her.

Aren’t they said that swordsmen of the Water God School are all very steady?
He speaks nicely and acts steadily. I heard that most of the Mizugami serve as knights in royal palaces and aristocrats around the world, which makes a good impression on people.

But why is this guy, who is ready to draw his sword when he disagrees with something, exactly the same as Gileno who just came to Boreas's house?
Are all adventurers like this?
Just as Edna hurriedly said goodbye and the others packed up and walked to the end of the corridor.

There was still a little trouble.

"We are going to the servants' dining room to eat. Alice can't come with us."

"why not!"

Alice stomped on the wooden floor of the corridor to express her dissatisfaction.

Although it was a question, Alice knew very well that she needed to eat with her grandfather, father and mother.

So the little mouth is turned down.

Rudy grabbed his hair randomly and turned to look at Allen, trying to ask him to save the situation.

But the latter didn't seem to care about Alice's expression at all, just led the way and walked in front without saying a word.

Sylphy spoke up.

"Alice is going upstairs to eat. We'll see her again soon." She said in a coaxing tone.

"I know! I'll just walk to the restaurant door! Someone will come to pick me up."

Her voice suddenly stopped in the middle of her speech.

At the corner of the corridor, several people turned around.

In front of me are four beast girls.

They stood in a row, as if they had been waiting for them here for a long time, looking at Alan with smiles on their faces.

Alan looked at the leading cat-eared girl, then lowered his eyes.

"Alice, let's have dinner together today."

"Huh? Really?!"

The cat-eared girl who was Alice's personal maid looked straight at Allen with the same smile on her face as before.

"Oh really, Mr. Allen is right."

"Mr. Allen, Miss Sylphy, Master Rudy."

"Master Shao Luosi invites you to come up and have dinner."

-

Led by the beast girls, everyone walked all the way to the restaurant entrance.

The door is opened.

What you see in front of you is a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

There is a dining table in front of the window.

The sunlight shines through the enamel glass, casting a stream of light and silhouettes on the three people at the table.

Philip, Saulos, and Hilda have taken their seats.

Their shadows were stretched out on the ground.

The postures of Mr. and Mrs. Philip were very sophisticated and elegant, with shimmering colors flickering on the sides of their faces.

But Sauros was leaning back on the middle chair, with his legs spread out and his arms folded across his chest.

Speak a word.

"sit."

His voice was powerful and had the style of a military officer who had served in Asura.

Except for Gileno, who was still serving as the guard of the lord's mansion and was indeed not suitable to sit at the table, the other four people took their seats one after another - Alice sat next to Sauros. Compared with the "source" of learning this habit, her slightly wild sitting posture seemed very ladylike.

After Allen and the other two saluted, they sat opposite each other.

Rudy had intended for Allen to sit in the middle, facing Shao Ross in the center. King versus King, this made sense.

However, when he sat down, the self-proclaimed "king" patted his shoulder very naturally and "sent" him to the center seat.

It was not until his butt was already sitting on the chair and Shao Ross's beard came into his field of vision that Rudy reacted belatedly.

? ?
Why are you sitting here alone?
Where is my king?
Turned.

Wang lowered his eyes and stirred the wild vegetable soup in front of him, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

The corners of Rudy's mouth twitched and his eyes rolled around in his sockets.

He took in the positions of everyone at the table:

Alan sat by the window, opposite Philip. Philip, with narrowed eyes, looked at him with interest, but the latter did not look up and look at Philip.

Rudy was in the middle, with Shao Ross sitting opposite him. The lord crossed his arms and looked down upon the three of them, like an old lion whose might was still as great as before.

Sylphy leaned against the door, she glanced at Allen, then nodded modestly to Hilda, who was slightly tilting her head with a stray look, as if looking at the wild vegetable soup placed in front of Rudy, but without focus. When she realized Sylphy's action, she blinked and smiled at Sylphy very gently.

Sauros waved his hand and sent away the maid who wanted to come up to serve everyone.

The moment the door was closed.

"The Thomas matter has been investigated."

He was very direct and didn't hide anything at all. He turned to look at Allen and went straight to the point.

"Good kill."

Seeing that Shao Ross had nothing else to say, Philip waited for a moment, then squinted his eyes and smiled before adding.

"I investigated it yesterday. In addition to colluding with the great nobles in the capital, Thomas also committed many crimes. He protected his relatives and officials to embezzle their positions and privately embezzled the income of the pharmaceutical workshop. The amount of stolen money hidden in his home has reached more than 700 gold coins."

"I was supposed to be the one to regulate and appease the forces in the city, but my father finally decided to do it himself. In one afternoon, he cleansed all the vassals who depended on Thomas."

"Hmph, it's always so nagging when you're in charge."

"That's what father taught me."

Alan's expression didn't change, but Hilda, who was standing next to him, froze slightly when she heard the follow-up details of Thomas' death yesterday for the first time.

Clean?

That means killing them all.

There are at least several hundred officials, forces, and relatives in Roya City related to Thomas, both big and small.

They all turned into corpses yesterday afternoon.

She was more focused on her own emotional fluctuations yesterday and didn't pay too much attention to these things. Only now did she realize that the situation related to Thomas was so serious.

Then when Alan suddenly killed someone yesterday, was it planned?

But how can this be what a tutor should do?

Tutoring?

Hilda blinked rapidly, her brows raised slightly.

Father and Dear have a strange attitude towards Alan.
Could it be that what happened yesterday morning was another "test" used by "Dear"? Was he actually trying to test Alan in order to prepare for his future recruitment?

She subconsciously turned her head to see Philip's facial expression.

What caught my eye was.

Her husband was looking at the person across the table with a smile.

The sunlight shining through the enamel glass hit his curly hair.

Flowing with a light brown glow.

She couldn't help but start to daydream again, just like when Sylphy found her just now. Her eyes stayed on the table, and she looked out of focus because -

Her eyes were always on Allen.

And at this moment, opposite her husband.

In the peripheral vision.

Same color.

Light brown streamer.

It was the exact same hair color.
