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

Chapter 208 New and old grudges

Some oppression began from the moment I crossed over to this world of reincarnation without a job.

If the system is real.

Then the price of failing to complete the mission is likely to be obliteration.

If the system is fake.

Well it better be true.

If it is true or false, you cannot gamble.

Then you need to be prepared for both situations.

One hand is in the light, the other hand is in the dark.

Before coming to Buena Village, Allen's original attempt was to completely ignore the dark state and complete the obvious points task, avoiding being wiped out while following the original story line. In this way, his journey of reincarnation without a job would be the easiest, most comfortable, and safest ending - even if it seemed a bit like a passerby, a bit of a "player mentality", and a bit indifferent and ruthless.

However, the system tasks during his childhood and tutoring period hit his weak spots one by one, forcing him to integrate into the world, and to be completely willing and proactive in turning this life into his own journey of reincarnation without a job.

It's almost like
It's like it was tailor-made for him.

At this point, under the mutual verification of various facts, light and darkness have become completely intertwined.

So in order to protect something in the face of greater variables and make up for the regrets.

So in order to make all the people he cherishes stand by his side with a smile.

So for
In his own Re:Zero, he achieved a happy ending.

It's time to get some work done.

After all, the influence of his incitement in this life has been great enough.

But if the arrangement is completely transparent, and everything he thinks and does is completely known, just like Rudy in the original book who had never met Boss Long, it would undoubtedly be extremely deadly.

Fortunately, now.

The Sword God Style finally came to fruition.

Although the effectiveness is limited, I can only use the main idea that comes to my mind at the moment as a shield to cover up some thoughts beneath the surface.

But, he finally had room to maneuver.

It is correct to stick to the sword heart path of 'desire'.

In every sense of the word.

All are correct.

Alan placed his arms on the table in a very relaxed manner, supporting his chin with his hands, and quietly watched the smoke and dust shrinking and expanding.

There was a gleam in his eyes.

spoke again.

"System, I have fewer worries now. I have thrown away some redundant thoughts and focused on the present. This is also good for my growth in the Sword God Style. Why do you seem a little unhappy?"

Once the smoke and dust stagnated, they had to form words to explain themselves.

As a result, Alan approached the system panel again.

'And you taught me that the day before yesterday, when I came out of Hilda's bedroom.'

The smoke and dust floated in front of Allen's eyes, and he once again "saw" Allen's thoughts that were emerging.

'Traveled through twelve years of rebirth and regained the spirit of youth.'

'Let go of the past, don't be so depressed, be cautious and careful in everything you do.'

'Sometimes, the more you worry, the more mistakes you make.'

"What? Have you forgotten? I remember it very clearly, every word is so precious, Tongzi."

【.I remember, I am doing this to make you happy.】

Allen smiled.

'Thank you, that's a very nice thing to say, I'll always remember it.'

【.You're welcome.】

At this point, Alan seemed to have lost interest in communicating with the system.

The system seemed to be very depressed as well, and disappeared at the speed of light.

Alan looked at the scabbard on the table that had cut through thousands of silk threads, but he turned his head to look out the window.

At the same time, he reached out and touched the letter paper on the table, which had been changed from "Book of Life and Death" to "Rescue List".

He shook his hand, and even without looking at it, the letter paper still spun beautifully in the air and was accurately screwed into the drawer.

Lock it up and get up.

He gently stroked the scabbard on the table with his fingertips.

From the blade to the handle.

During the movement, he did not even turn his head, but just looked quietly at the sky through the window.

The sun was already very warm and half of the morning had passed without me noticing.

Alan rapped his knuckles on the hilt of the knife.

"It's getting late."

He turned around, picked up the knife, swept through the bedroom and opened the door.

The classroom, which normally should be occupied by arithmetic classes at this time, was empty.

He squinted his eyes and glanced at the classroom, then turned and walked to Rudy's door.

Raise your hand and push the door open.

With a creak, the door of the teacher's dormitory was pushed open smoothly.

The house was also empty.

No one came back last night, so there was no need to lock the door.

Alan tilted his head to look at Rudy's bed, then, as if realizing something, turned his head away.

The classroom door was very close to the main gate of the house. The sunlight shone through the window onto the floor of the entrance, spreading to the soles of Alan's feet, and spots of light were scattered on the floor.

The only sound was the breeze blowing through the entrance, making it very quiet.

next moment.

The door creaked open.

The sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence.

Sylphy walked in from the main gate of the mansion, her brows furrowed, her expression looking a little flustered and a little resentful. She looked out the door behind her and walked towards where Alan was.

Then, at the corner, when he was about to lose his vision, he wrinkled his nose, snorted heavily, and immediately took a step, changing from a quick walk to a trot, and turned his head at the same time.

Then he bumped into Allen.

The hair rises and then falls.

Sylphy looked at the swordsman's uniform that was too familiar to her face, and raised her head slowly and stiffly.

In her sight was Alan's smiling face. He looked straight at her with a helpless, yet doting expression.

Sylphy's pupils trembled, the angry expression on her face disappeared instantly, and she immediately lowered her head!
Subconsciously I wanted to find a place to hide.
Instead, he put his head directly into Alan's arms, and his body became even stiffer.

She subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but the scene of Alan putting the necklace on her suddenly flashed through her mind, and she stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to move forward or backward.

They put on necklaces, expressed their feelings to each other, danced the love dance, kissed hands, and even Rudy went out with another girl. He did what adults should do, and he still lingered and didn't come back during class time.
I have to hide from Allen. Will he hate me?
But I'm so shy. This is Alan.
But if I back off, does that mean I'm rejecting Allen again? I already did it once last night.
But the teacher hasn't yet.
Before she could continue, Alan's body temperature, which was several degrees higher than Norda's, slowly dropped from top to bottom.

It slid slowly across her cheek, chest, collarbone, the shining magic stone necklace at her neck, neck, and chin.

Finally, it was Alan's smiling face. He squatted down as usual and looked up at Sylphy's reddish-brown pupils.

He reached out his hands and pinched her cheeks.

As the latter began to spin mosquito coils, he asked with a smile.

"What's wrong? Are you so anxious?"

Sylphy subconsciously grabbed Alan's hand, her ears trembling constantly. In her hesitation, she suppressed the urge to pull Alan's hand away from her face for a moment, and just silently pinched the back of Alan's hand in protest.

He spoke with some stammering.

"Lu! Luludi hasn't come back yet, so what about us?"

"We! We! We. That!!!"

But he didn't know what he was thinking about. He let out a scream and covered his face with the back of Alan's hand.

Allen was stunned, and suddenly thought that Sylphy in this timeline had not yet been influenced by Ariel's private life in the capital, and was still very shy about this slightly intimate action.
But this stuttering is quite severe.
He grabbed Sylphy's hand and pulled it away from her face.

Looking directly at Sylphy's eyes, she was a little flustered and kept glancing around.

"Rudy hasn't come back yet, so I can't go to class. Is this what you want to say?"

Sylphy blushed and nodded.

Allen smiled.

"I'll bring him back, but don't be angry. If I'm not mistaken, he must have run into some trouble."

Sylphy was stunned, "Trouble?"

Alan nodded and reached out to touch the scabbard at his waist that was already dragging on the ground.

In the buzzing sound.

The words fell.

"Little trouble, I will bring him back before the sun sets. As for mom, please go and talk to her."

Sylphy glanced at the knife on Alan's waist, then looked up at Alan's eyes again.

Didn't ask why.

Just nodded.

"it is good."

-

Alan moved quickly through the atrium at an extremely fast speed.

The system panels that kept appearing in front of him were smashed.

[My mind is full of murderous intent now. Is this why you thought of Darius and James just now? ]

Allen smiled.

He held the knife at his waist and squinted at the gate of Boreas Mansion which was approaching him on the highway not far away.

Fragments of memories flashed through my mind.

Yesterday at noon, when he came back from the gate after helping Rudy buy fuel, there was a lot of noise outside the gate, but some information was still too clear to his senses.

What a surprise.

I didn’t expect that the kidnapping case in the original book had a sequel, and it was perfectly connected logically.

'.Haha, what else? Didn't you see what I was thinking at the gate of the mansion yesterday? '

[.I saw it, are you playing the role of a chivalrous hero? ]

Allen shook his head.

'Roya, the entrance to the banquet, underground forces, the Night Lion Thieves, human trafficking, Whiting Town, the location where Alice's kidnapping occurred in the original storyline, James, Darius.'

'The information is connected.'

"On the first day I arrived at the Boreas family, I bypassed the kidnappers in the original book and directly pulled out Thomas, but now I think the people who attacked me should have been hired from the killer group. Their goal was not to kidnap me, but to kill me. So they were not the same group of kidnappers in the original book. Sauros did pull out some nails by following the clues, but not completely."

"Darius is in collusion with James. He is under the command of the Night Lion Thieves, who have spread their power across the country and have issued a wanted order for me. Only an underground force of this size can make a living in human trafficking. The latter used the information provided by James, who is very familiar with Roya, to find some "playthings" for Darius in Roya, the lair of Boreas, and sent them to Roya, forming an industrial chain."

'Among them, the reward that the bandits should pay is the beast girls. This is what Boreas would do. Saulos and Philip want it, and there are many people flocking to it. This is why the low-level noble was able to obtain the qualification to enter the banquet. He has a stable source of beast girls.'

'What did they get in return? They were some girls from poor noble families who wanted to use their bodies to gain power and influence at the banquet, plus a small amount of money. These people were natural targets for kidnapping, because their disappearance would not have any impact on Roya. At most, they would become a missing person notice posted outside the city wall after a few days. As time passed and their original families were too busy to take care of them, they gradually became a useless piece of white paper. No, it is more likely that their original families would think that these girls chose to elope in order to escape the "responsibility" of family revival. Not only would they not bother to find them in private, they would also scold them for being shameless.'

"Haha, the hobbies and needs of the nobles in the capital are such that they cannot look for high-quality noble girls under their noses every day. After all, the noble girls in the capital are in the power center, and they are either rich or noble. If they want to kidnap, they will choose those far away from the capital for safety."

[Oh? So you want to take care of it? What does this have to do with your search for Rudy? ]

Alan smiled and glanced at the system panel passing by his ear, with an inexplicable look on his face.

"I can't manage or save the Asura Kingdom even if I die. Even if I save them, some of those poor noble girls may end up being toys for the big shots in the capital, which is a better fate than staying at home. Isn't that ironic?"

"I am not a good person who does nothing but take care of things. If you want to hear the reason why I intervene, I will tell you."

'One: Old grudge: The guy from the Night Lion Thieves knows me. He doesn't want money for this deal. Instead, he wants to ask the big-bellied pig who can enter the banquet to find out some information about me. However, he doesn't need to find out this information because he saw me in person afterwards.'

[Oh?] The system panel froze for a moment, then returned to normal.

"When I passed by him, his heartbeat and expression betrayed him. It seems that James already knew that I came to Roya. Calculating the time, a year is almost up. If he didn't have this spy in Roya, he wouldn't be the head of the family. He is still determined to do evil."

He glanced at the system panel with an inexplicable look on his face, but he simply skipped over this reason.

'Two: New grudge: Why hasn't Rudy come back yet? I also 'met' that low-level noble with a big belly last night. His main business in Roya is to rent some hotels and brothels outside the city. On the surface, it sounds nice, haha, 'specially providing after-party entertainment facilities', but in fact it's just to facilitate the search for suitable candidates. '

'As for Rudy, it is very likely that he was drugged and taken away in a car yesterday. He had little presence at the banquet this week, so the possibility of him being affected is very high. As for whether this is possible, we will know once we go to his house and ask.'

As he was talking in his mind, Alan had already reached the gate of the mansion.

'Three: Still an old grudge.'

Just as he was about to step out of the gate, he was stunned, stopped, and turned to look at the young figure who was stepping heavily from the stable to show his 'emotion' beside the gate.

But he smiled and continued to add.

"I am a person who holds grudges. Even if some things happened in the original book, I still remember them clearly."

Her fiery red hair fluttered in the air, and she ran to Alan in just a few steps, with some straw from the stable in her dress.

It's Alice.

This week, Alice was not kidnapped by the kidnappers and taken to Weiting.

But who knew that in the last week, the kidnapping was not instigated by James?
And the scene where Alice was kicked to the point of vomiting blood.

Alice, the younger sister, 'can't remember'.

Alan, the older brother.

But I remember it very clearly.

　Ah, I have a day off tomorrow and I didn't check the time. I have been writing the outline and it's already this late. Sorry.
