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

Chapter 218: The Knights of Dawn, Water God, and a Distant Place
"You have made progress in the Water God Style. I haven't seen the sword power yet, but you have done a good job in sorting out the information received by the Sense Style. In just a short while, you have roughly made a 'profile' of everyone in the classroom, and greeted them in a targeted manner, so that they can quickly integrate into the group. This doesn't seem like the master's tendency to use the Sense Style, but it seems like the direction I would use it."

"I learned 'Sense Flow' from watching you, senior brother. Just use it flexibly. Senior brother, didn't you say before that swordsmanship is not just swordsmanship?"

"Well, water saint?"

"Yes, Water Saint."

"When?"

"The winter before last."

"good."

The questions and answers followed the footsteps, like chess pieces falling on a chessboard, clattering in the evening breeze.

A person's footsteps echoed in the atrium.

Two figures strolled in the night.

As Izuluti spoke, she looked down at her own steps. In her peripheral vision, she saw Alan's feet constantly rising, moving, and falling.

She subconsciously followed the pace of the person next to her and made her steps consistent.

Take a step and land.

Following in Allen's footsteps step by step.

The childish games that the four-year-old follower often played had long since turned into a habit and continued. This was also her subconscious reaction when she followed Philip just now and remembered that she would meet Alan in a while.

Izuluti's eyes were no longer squinted, but were wide open in the night, looking at the surface of her shoes.

It's funny to say that before meeting Allen, I always followed the subconscious reaction of the Water God Style to prepare in advance, how to talk to Allen, how to convince him to go back to the Water God Style Dojo with me, how to convey the words of my grandmother when looking at his face.
It doesn't seem so urgent or deliberate.

But when I really walked beside Alan, all these thoughts were blown away by the evening breeze and dispersed into the night.

Just blink and it's like I'm back to being four years old.

At that time, I had not yet learned any techniques of the Water God Style, nor did I have so many complicated thoughts.

Some are just:

Pure sorrow.

"Why do you always stay alone at the entrance of the dojo and stare blankly?"

"Wait, brother."

".Where are your parents? Why have I never seen them?"

"Mom and Dad are missing. Gone. Lost. Grandma said they went very far away, out of reach. Only my brother is missing mom and dad."

和.
Simple happiness.

".Can't touch it? I see."

"."

".The sky, the earth, the sunset, the sunset, and the wind. They are all far away and cannot be touched."

".Um?"

"Look to the left, look up, the sunset, can you see it?"

"can"

"They're watching you, too."

".Yes.Is that so?"

"Yes, reach out, do you feel anything?"

".What."

"wind."

"I touched it"

"Mom and Dad are always watching you from a distance, and they are close enough to touch you. These are all clear evidence."

".Well."

"Is it soft?"

".Mmm.Mmm.Soft."

"Don't cry, smile for them."

"."

".Hey."

"Good, keep it up."

The hazy and flickering texture of the shoe upper in my sight gradually enlarges and becomes clearer as the memories slip away. The voices of the past overlap with the words beside me.

Isaruti smiled, but Alan beside her sighed helplessly.

"Am I really that unreliable? My behavior is beyond the norm. The only time I hid in a brothel and worked as a bath scrubber for a few days was when Beishen II came to arrest me. It was considered 'behavior beyond the norm'. The rest of the time I was pretty normal, right? How can it be called often?"

"'Extraordinary behavior' is not what I mean."

"?"

Izuluti pursed her lips and glanced at Alan.

"But it's true that he's unreliable. At that time, my senior brother only said that he was going to study abroad for two months, but he actually ran away secretly. In fact, you had expected it. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem like you happened to run into the assassination by chance. It's clear that you ran into it head-on."

"After all, as the chief senior brother of this session of Shui Shenliu, 'coincidence' is usually not 'coincidence'."

Alan's face froze and he smiled awkwardly.

"Uh, no, actually it was really an accident." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Izuruti.

"Fortunately, Senior Brother finally got what he wanted."

Alan was slightly stunned and looked to his side, only to see Izoluti looking at him with a smile and speaking.

"I originally wanted to bring you back to the dojo right after I became a Water Saint, because Grandmother had already promised to protect you. But after I learned the 'Sense Flow', a lot of information that I had previously ignored became clear in my mind, and connected to form a whole clue."

"Why did you want to return to the Boreas Mansion? And why was Lord James so indifferent to you? Considering Lord James's reaction after the assassination, I went to ask my grandmother and found out that your father and mother were also far away."

Izuluti tilted her head and looked at Allen, who was a little surprised.

After a while, he could only nod.

Because from the current point of view, he is indeed 'Alan' and has also accepted Hilda as his mother.

So to some extent, Izuruti speculated that her motive for leaving the royal capital was wrong.

But the result was right.

As for my father and mother, they are far away.

He was in no position to say anything soothing at this moment.

Isaruti continued.

"So I have been struggling with whether to come to Roya to bring my senior brother back to the capital, because this is obviously the life that my senior brother wants. I have been struggling with this for a long time, but I didn't expect to receive a letter from Lord Philip."

Alan raised his brows.

"Oh? What does the letter say?"

Izuruti's eyes opened, still bright in the night.

"Lord Philip only said in the letter that you are in Roya and are safe, and asked Grandmother and me not to worry. Senior brother has never sent a letter back. Grandmother has some concerns, do I have any concerns too?"

Alan listened indifferently to Isa Luti's half-true and half-false tone, and after a moment he just said "hmm".

"Um, sorry, I should have sent the letter, but..."

"You and Master knew I was still alive, otherwise why would you grant me the title of Water Saint and the title of Rock after I left? It's obvious that you deliberately spread the news to show that the Water God Ryu Dojo can still protect me, right?"

Izuluti's face froze and she stuck out her tongue obscurely, which seemed appropriate for a twelve-year-old.

"Ah, I've been discovered. Actually, when you were clearing out the thieves outside of Ligate City, Master and I were watching you halfway up the mountain. As for the title, Master is indeed what I meant."

".I see. Those forged traces of Xiangbei really couldn't be hidden from Master, but this can't be an accidental encounter, right? It's too coincidental, is there another reason?"

"Well, because Darius made some moves, Master... You know, Darius has done her a favor, so she has always been more concerned about his information. But do you know that Darius is behind the bounty order? He seems to be very close to James because they are from the same faction as the First Prince."

“It’s a good number.”

Isaruti's face froze slightly.

"That"

Alan glanced at her.

"Don't worry. I have received the grace of my master to teach me and take me in. Even when Darius obviously had a grudge against me, she was still willing to protect me. I accept this favor. I also don't want to stand on the opposite side of my master and face him with swords."

The words fell.

Alan didn't know what he was thinking about. He reached out to grope for the hilt of the knife, but his eyes were a little dim in the night.

Izuruti on the side lowered her eyes and looked at Alan's hand touching the knife, then suddenly looked up at Alan.

The expression is very serious.

"Brother, if you really want to kill Darius, I will help you stop Grandmother. No, I can help you kill Darius! Grandmother will definitely not be able to take revenge on me. This is the best solution. However, this may take a long time. I am still lacking in strength. Before that, please be patient."

After the words fell, Alan looked at Isaruti in surprise.

The latter looked stern and did not evade, staring into his eyes.

After a long while, Alan blinked. He caught the murderous intent emanating from Izuluti, but suddenly smiled.

Raise your hand and bend your fingers.

He used his fighting spirit to shoot out a gust of wind from his fingers, which hit Izuruti's forehead with a "pa" sound.

The latter raised his head, then covered his head and stared at Alan.

Alan waved his hand.

"Got it. No need to be so nervous."

Only then did Isaruti smile again with narrowed eyes.

Alan shook his head helplessly.

"How is Dantolis? Has his swordsmanship improved?"

Isaruti caught up with Alan in two steps. "My brother is still the same. He always has a stern face and works hard to run the dojo, but his swordsmanship has not improved. Grandma always complains that she always refuses the Water Saint award given to him."

"Haha, it's still the same as always. Being too honest is a bit too old-fashioned."

"Yes, it's even worse after marriage."

Alan paused and turned to look at Isaruti in surprise.

"Married!? Isn't he only fifteen years old?" Izuluti also stopped.

She just tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, without answering him.

The moonlight flowed around them.

It took Alan a long while to react.

The Asura nobles get engaged and married very early. Brother Izuruti got married at the age of fifteen entirely because he was delayed by the Water God-Ryu Dojo, otherwise he should have been married even earlier.

He blinked.

"Ah, that's it."

Isaruti continued with a smile.

"Alz, Fok, is married too."

"what?"

"Curry, Falz is also engaged."

Alan opened his mouth in surprise.

"Is that so? Wait, could it be..."

Izuruti interrupted him with a smile.

"I'm not engaged."

Alan's expression froze, and he was obviously stunned. He opened his lips several times before he managed to squeeze out words with great difficulty. "No! That's not what I meant. I'm just a little surprised, uh."

Alan felt that he couldn't explain it clearly, however.

In the sight, Izuruti raised her finger.

The moonlight poured down along the edges of her fingers like stardust, and her fingertips bathed in the moonlight and then turned back.

She pointed at herself.

"Among the Shuishen School's peers, only my senior brother and I are not yet engaged."

Alan's face was a little stiff, but Isaruti still looked at him with a smile.

The two looked at each other in silence.

Moonlight poured down onto the floor of the Boreas Courtyard.

Flowing quietly.

-

Inside the classroom.

Alice crossed her arms, tilted her head and looked at Alan and Izuluti in the courtyard with a frown on her face.

"How long?"

"Uh, only two minutes."

Rudy smiled awkwardly, but he was always paying attention to Sylphy beside him.

If this kind of unexpected situation of a beautiful girl falling from the sky had happened in the past, he would definitely just watch it and have fun.

But now I really can’t laugh.

The green leaf plan had come to fruition on the night of the eldest lady's birthday party. Although I was knocked unconscious before I started to enjoy it, I was quite happy touching her before that.

And after that day, Rudy discovered that compared with the two aristocratic ladies who were enthusiastic and proactive, had good figures, and would whisper seductively in his ears with gentle tongue-twisting sounds, whether it was Alice, the arsonist who was irritable and burned curtains and slapped people, or Sylphy, the board girl who he strongly supported as a couple.

They are increasingly losing the sense of reality as the opposite sex.

Therefore, Allen Shura Field was of no benefit to him at this time, and the tense atmosphere of the small group made him feel uneasy.

In the peripheral vision of his eyes.

Sylphy just looked at the two people outside the window quietly.

Unlike Rudy, she had a momentary moment in her mind when she felt a little uneasy about the fact that she was a latecomer.

but.
The strange thing is, after just a few words with Isaruti, this feeling disappeared.

because
Her opposite sex intuition detected a fact.

That is, even though Allen and herself did not say anything, Isa Luti seemed to have understood the "relationship" between herself and Allen.

She was even intentionally distancing herself from Alan and her.

Sylphy is good at empathy.

So she could feel it from just a few words of communication.

Praise should be sincere.

Regardless of whether it is about the appearance that you are not very confident about.

Or maybe.
The necklace around my neck.

Even in words of praise.

There is also a hint of restrained envy.

-

The moonlight flowed before Isaruti's dark pupils, and she blinked.

"This is roughly the current situation of the dojo, Brother."

Alan looked at Izuruti quietly, as if he was observing her expression. After a moment, he nodded, but changed the subject when he spoke.

"Well, that's how it is. If the master asked you to take care of it, it should be part of the situation in the dojo and related to the Knights? There are almost no people above the Water King in the Mizukami-ryu Dojo. From the current point of view, the Knights should have an elite team directly under the king, and the main body is composed of Water Kings?"

Izuluti looked at Allen's expression, and her bright smile seemed to dim the moonlight a little.

"Yes, it's called 'Morning Dawn'."

Alan stroked his chin and thought for a moment.

"Morning light."

"My grandmother said that the King Level is a good opportunity for you to return to the capital. If you still want to gain a foothold in the capital as a noble in the future, Dawn will be the best place for you. Even Darius cannot pose a threat to you there."

Alan grinned and continued the conversation.

"But similarly, after I entered Dawn, I was restrained and naturally lost my threat to Darius. You only said half of what you said."

Isaruti tilted her head slightly, her gentle expression revealing a hint of stubbornness.

"Because there is no need to say more. As agreed, I will kill him for my brother."

Alan shook his head and said nothing.

"What are the conditions for entering 'Morning Light'?"

"When you grant the title of Water King, you will obtain your own 'admission ticket' to Dawn. These are my master's original words, but he did not reveal more information to me."

Alan nodded and turned to walk towards the classroom.

Izuluti fell behind Allen, but did not take a step, just looked at Allen's back.

Stretch out your hands and spread them out.

The moonlight flowed through her fingers.

The palm fell on Allen's back through the air.

Caught the untouchable moonlight.

She smiled, put down her hands, and then followed his steps.

"It seems that Senior Brother has decided to return to the capital?"

"Yes, but you seem to have an idea about my return to the capital."

"Lord Philip's letter and Lord Sauros' attitude can explain a lot. Brother, it seems that you will have to shoulder the honor of the family. However, the most important thing is that you will naturally inherit the position of the Water God in the future, so of course you should return to the capital."

Having said this, Alan stopped and turned his head to look at Isaruti.

"The Water God is yours, I have no interest in him."

Isaruti was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised her head to look at Alan's face.

The latter just looked at her seriously.

The two people who were both members of the Water God School, at this moment, were thinking about the same message in the midst of the complicated thoughts flowing in the flow of the sense flow:
Inheriting the name of the Water God, in addition to the hard strength required to learn three of the Five Mysteries of the Water God Style, there is also a well-known "rule".

That is--

The partner of the Water God needs to abandon his family, assist the Water God as a freelancer, and live in the Water God's Ryuso Dojo.

This is the price of becoming the companion of the water god.

Under the moonlight, the black-haired girl stared at Alan for a long while, her gaze moving from his face to the flickering blue magic stone on his neck.

Then he looked back at Alan's face.

She just smiled a little sadly.

Open your eyes slowly.

The black pupils stared at Alan quietly.

"My senior brother asked me to be the water god."

The second half of the sentence fell.

Word by word.

"I."

"Just for your viewing."

The sound follows the evening breeze.

Blown far away.

It couldn't fall into Boreas's mansion.

　I don't have much time to work on the plot as I work part-time, so it's a bit Muggle.

　　I may need to revise it later. The commercial writing method is to portray Isa Luti as a beautiful girl with strong desire and initiative.

　　But the problem is that she is a member of the Miris Cult. The original book also shows that she has very strict moral values, which is very similar to Allen.

　　So, I can only continue to follow the outline.

　　Ok, then let’s set off for the capital.
