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

Chapter 199 The dance begins. [If you feel it’s too slow, you can skip this chapter]

Alan turned his head and walked forward.

But their gazes were intertwined.

Right in front of him, the brightly dressed Sauros looked at him with some dissatisfaction, while the nobles who were talking to him all cast their glances at him curiously.

Alan kept walking, and the two of them gradually got closer.

As he was about to pass by Sauros, he glanced at the nobles beside him, leaned over and performed a noble etiquette, with his steps and movements connected extremely smoothly.

There is no sign of perfunctory attitude at all.

At the same time it saves a lot of time.

"Go change into your formal attire quickly. This is so disrespectful." Sauros curled his lips and took a sip of red wine.

"Yes." Alan nodded.

The two passed each other.

The nobles in front of Sauros looked at Alan's departing back with surprised expressions.

"My Lord, this is..."

Sauros waved his hand nonchalantly and took another sip of his drink.

"A guest."

"Oh? Could it be that the Lord has recruited another Sword King?"

"Just a water saint."

"Ah, I see."

"Oh, I heard from Gilenu that the Sword God Style seems to have reached the Saint level recently, hehe."

"Double Saint level? This is a very popular guest in the capital, and a powerful guest under the prince. Congratulations."

"It's so-so. Beishenliu is also at the Saint level."

"Hiss, congratulations, sir."

"Haha, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

Alan couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard Sauros behind him saying that he was not sloppy at all and was not "not worth mentioning" at all, and he laughed loudly, much like the top students in his previous life showing off their scores.

At present, the two of them have basically "broken the barriers" in getting along with each other, and are completely like a grandfather and grandson getting along.

It's just that his identity was never revealed verbally.

Because both of them understood that the moment Eren's identity was announced, that was the time when Sauros would send Eren back to the capital.

And this appointment is still early.

Alan thought of this and looked towards the banquet room in the distance.

The maids were crowded together carrying in various cold dishes that had been prepared for the whole morning. From inside the door, one could vaguely see the table covered with a white tablecloth and the carpet on the floor.

So far, Alice's tenth birthday party is completely different from the original plot.

The scale is too big.

It was even clearly mentioned in the original book that Sauros was not serious about dealing with the nobles, but now he actually started entertaining them at the door, which showed that he took it very seriously.

The reason?
It is clear.

There is only one variable.

Allen shook his head.

He once again realized a fact.

That is - the characters in Musashi Re:Zero are all vivid and three-dimensional, unlike the original work which only focuses on a few people and is so "thin".

feel
not bad.

He carried the basket and walked briskly across the courtyard, passing by the tree under Hilda's window where branches were sprouting.

Walked into the mansion.

But he came to Rudy's door.

But before he could knock on the door, the latter rushed out of the room and snatched the basket from Alan's hand.

"It will definitely be completed before tonight! Don't worry!"

Alan scratched his head and looked at Rudy who turned around and sat down at his desk in the dormitory. He took a step and walked to Rudy's desk.

Downcast eyes.

The desktop was a mess.

Alan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Thank you so much."

Rudy didn't even turn his head, but lowered his head and carefully brushed something with a small brush.

Next to him, the dye that Alan had to buy himself had already been opened.

Originally, Allen wanted to ask Alifa and Lil for help, but one of them was in charge of the scene and meal arrangements in the banquet hall today, while the other was in charge of Alice's makeup and hair, so Allen couldn't ask them to help.

And because Allen's right to use maids was monopolized by Alifa and Lil, he couldn't talk to other maids and could only go out and buy them himself.

"What are you talking about? It's a rare occasion that you ask me for a favor, even for such a small matter."

"I think the last version is enough. You should get some sleep. You didn't get much sleep last night, did you?"

"No, Master Allen, you don't understand what craftsmanship is."

Alan looked at the top of Rudy's head silently.

The latter didn't even raise his head.

After a while, he could only smile helplessly.

"This is the last version, don't change it anymore."

Rudy waved his hand impatiently.

"Sylphy is upstairs, in the lady's bedroom. She has been avoiding you since this morning. Is it okay if you don't go find her?"

Alan was stunned.

"I looked for it, but I didn't see it."

Rudy turned his head and looked at Allen, his eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed that he didn't sleep well last night.

"Madam said she was hiding in the fitting room. She came to see me just now because there is a variable. We prepared the plan based on the assumption that Madam Hilda would not attend the banquet, but now Madam Hilda insisted on attending the banquet. This does not have much impact on the plan itself, but whether her health will be affected..."

As he spoke, Alan turned around and walked out of the house.

Rudy glanced at Alan's back and smiled like an old father.

Then he lowered his head and continued to work on the task at hand.

"pain!"

"Hold! Sorry! Alice."

Alice was pouting in front of the dressing table in Hilda's bedroom.

The tasseled red skirt flows over the chair like a flame.

Beside her, Sylphy, wearing a white evening gown, was frantically fixing her hair.

Because Alice's skirt had tassels and was not stiff enough, Hilda suggested tying her hair into a side braid, which would make her look more energetic.

Seeing this, Lil, who was taking care of Alice's face, took over the unfinished braid from Sylphy's hand with a smile.

"Let me do it, but Miss Sylphy, you seem a little distracted today."

Sylphy glanced at Lil with a dazed look in her eyes.

"Is there?"

Lil blinked.

"Is it related to Lord Allen?" Sylphy asked subconsciously.

"Have"

But before he could say anything, his eyes suddenly widened.

"No! No. No!"

While Lil was braiding Alice's hair skillfully, she glanced at Sylphy's smooth neck and beautiful collarbone in the sunlight outside the window with a smile.

Then she shifted her gaze to look at the table beside her.

There was a necklace that matched Sylphy's dress.

"Okay~ No. But Miss Sylphy, don't forget to wear your necklace. The 'soul' of this low-cut dress is actually at the neck. If you forget to wear it, it will lose a lot of its luster."

Sylphy turned her eyes to the table, blinked, and silently reached out to pick up the necklace.

But he just looked at it for a while and kept it in his hand.

Just then, there was a bang.

The door to Hilda's dressmaking room opened.

Alan walked up the stairs quickly, his brows furrowed.

When he reached the door of Hilda's bedroom.

Only a minute passed.

He looked down at the door handle and breathed a sigh of relief.

He relaxed his frown and pulled a smile into the corners of his mouth.

Hold on and push the door open.

Then, the smile froze.

In the bedroom, very close to me, at the door of Hilda's clothing room, Hilda, who had been lying in bed for a long time, was wearing a goose yellow dress and looking down at her ankles.

The skirt is above the ankle.

Her hair was not left half draped over her shoulders like she had done last winter, but was tied up entirely and secured with a hairpin, looking elegant and dignified.

If you ignore his thinner cheeks, he actually looks radiant.

Hilda heard the door open and looked up.

Eye contact with Alan.

A 'very deep and long' look.

Then she tilted her head slightly, forced out a smile without much meaning as usual, and scratched the side of her skirt a little embarrassedly.

"Alan, you're here. I haven't worn this skirt for a long time. I originally wanted to wear a long skirt, but Lu Fei said this one suits me better. When was the last time I wore it? It seemed like it was when I was giving birth."

Hilda was silent for a moment, then quickly reacted, lowered her head, looked at the hem of her skirt, smiled, and said nothing more.

"It suits you very well."

Hilda was stunned for a moment and looked up.

She felt as if Alan was missing some words, but she didn't react for a moment, just immersed in what he said.

The two looked at each other.

The same pupils were reflected in the dark grey eyes.

After a long while, she finally blinked.

"Thank you."

Then he turned and looked at the dressing table behind him.

Alice was looking over here with her head tilted, while Sylphy was glancing left and right as if she was very nervous after seeing Alan coming over.

Li'er had just put down her hand, and Alice's side braid had already been tied by her and placed in front of her shoulder.

She turned around, looked at Alan, who was still wearing his swordsman's uniform, and smiled.

"Well, it's getting late, and Alice is ready. Alan should also change into a dress and practice your dance steps one last time before the ball starts. I heard that my father seems to insist on Alan being Alice's dance partner. There are many more nobles here today than in the five-year period, and this is related to the reputation of Boreas."

"No room for error..."

After saying this, Alan just looked at Hilda quietly, then nodded.

He remembered the other person's diary.

I also understood why Hilda insisted on going to the party despite her poor health.

Because she wanted to see Alan and Alice dancing together with her own eyes.

In the banquet hall where all the nobles of Roya gathered.

Let everyone take a look.

Your own children.

Soon, Alan changed into a dress.

The brother and sister stood in the living room.

Alan tilted his head to look at Hilda beside him, who just tilted her head and smiled at him.

He glanced at Sylphy again, who looked away in a panic.
