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

Chapter 554 Allen hasn't even come home yet, and the backyard is already on fire.
Leda's tone was a little stiff.

It was as if a frosty glass had shattered in Xinuo's throat, making it difficult for him to utter the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Leda frowned:
"Xinuo, what are you trying to say? Why are you beating around the bush?"

Xinuo cleared his throat, hesitated for a moment, and then replied:
"Lilfa wasn't entirely convinced either, so I mediated between them, which is how Allen became the commander of the Street Soldiers."

Is this what you meant?

"What I want to say is that these things ultimately need to be discussed and handled with Allen when he returns."

Leda immediately replied:

"Two years ago, the grand scheme of Allen's patricide was accomplished through the efforts of you and me. In return, he promised me that he would reclaim the Holy Land of Swords."

Allen is a man of his word, as you know; he always keeps his promises.

Xinuo's face twitched as he looked at Lieda's tense expression.

You and Allen are master and apprentice, and you'll become family in the future. How come you're talking about the exchange of interests between nobles?

And although you've covered it up very well and have a lot of eloquence, others don't know why you're behaving this way, senior sister. How could I not know?

He cleared his throat and continued:
"Senior Sister, you keep emphasizing how great the Holy Land of Swords is, but actually, returning to the Holy Land of Swords is not what you're currently focused on, at least not in a hurry. Because you and I both firmly believe that Allen is a man of his word, and besides, he's not an 'outsider'."

Leda stopped talking and just drank her tea.

Xinuo sighed and looked out the carriage window.

In the distance, between the figures of nobles, Hilfi and Philip walked side by side.

She already looked like the young mistress of the Boreas family, only lacking a formal title.

He stared at her for a long time, then turned to look at Leda and said cautiously:
"Ultimately, what Senior Sister cares about right now is Izuru's marriage. Returning to the Sword Sanctuary is just a pretext. Senior Sister just wants to remind him..."

Snapped!
Leda crushed the teacup in her hand.

Despite being the Water Emperor, the usually stern and unsmiling Xinuo shrank back and quickly shut his mouth.

Leda threw away the broken pieces of the teacup:
“Izoruti’s parents died young. If I don’t stand up for her, who will?”

She stared intently at Xinuo:

"We all know how many people survived the great migration disaster, and how many of them were unharmed?"
He suffered a broken leg, a broken arm, was crippled, and even fell from a height and hit his head, leaving him so mentally impaired that he couldn't speak.

Before leaving the capital, that girl Izuru made a special promise to us that if she could find Allen, it wouldn't matter what state Allen was in after the Great Disaster, or even if he couldn't lift a sword.

She voluntarily left the Elkel family so that I could elevate Allen to the position of Water God! To give Boreas a safety net for power and secure a perfect future for him!

"Did you agree? Did I, this old man, agree?"

Xinuo stammered and couldn't get the words out.

They all agreed to Izuru's rather bold proposal at the time.

Allen and Izoruti grew up together since they were little, and they watched them grow from children into independent adults.

To be honest, the bond between us has long since transcended the realm of swordsmanship instruction.

If anything unexpected happens to Allen, they will naturally do everything they can to help him and Boreas.

现在
The worst-case scenario didn't materialize.

This is of course a good thing.

The problem is that Allen's situation regarding being involved in the disaster transfer is completely different from what Izzo said.

He was completely unharmed, and even improved his strength. It didn't seem like he was caught up in the disaster transfer, but rather it seemed to confirm the conspiracy theories speculated by the 'masterminds' in the capital.

Lieda and Xinuo couldn't fathom what had happened to Allen during this time, but they felt vaguely depressed.

It's like your precious daughter falling for a playboy, who then disappears without a word. Your daughter insists that he didn't go out fooling around, but that something must have happened to him.

He didn't send a single letter in two years, and his beloved daughter even went out to look for him on her own.

Everyone was heavy-hearted and prepared to do everything they could to help him if he fell on hard times.

Sigh, after two years of worry, this seemingly vanished playboy suddenly reappeared one day, shouting:
"Haha, this is all part of my plan! What a dog emperor, I'll kill him with one sword! What a family, I'll take them all on my shoulders!"
Now I am the best in the world; in the future, the sky's the limit and the sea is wide enough for birds to fly and fish to leap!

The first reaction from the bride's family would definitely be feeling aggrieved.

However, it doesn't matter, as long as they come back safely, the outcome is ultimately good.

The frustration is only temporary. Perhaps there was some misunderstanding. As long as everyone is safe, everything is fine. Joining the ranks of the seven major powers is an unexpected bonus.

Everyone was happy for him.

But in addition to being happy
Who knew the determination Isorti had at that time?
Only Leda, the grandmother, and Xinuo, the uncle with no blood relation, knew about that conversation; even his own brother was unaware of it.

then
Izuru also found Allen, but the two of them haven't returned yet. Has the choice of the Boreas family's legal wife already been decided?
Not Izuruti Elkel?

this.
Who can I complain to?

After stammering for a while, Xinuo finally decided to speak up for Allen while Leda was still angry:

"As you know, Miss Hilfiet has been holding the Boreas family together for the past two years, and it seems she doesn't know the specifics of Allen's situation either."

To everyone's surprise, these words immediately provoked a fit of anger from the usually composed Leda:

"She struggled to support the Boreas family? Did Izoruti go to find Allen by riding in a carriage and enjoying the scenery along the way?"
I don't know anything about Allen's situation. Does anyone know what's going on with him?
Six years ago, he left without saying goodbye. Izuru was in a daze all day until she found out that Allen was still alive. Oh well, I know that the struggle for the headship of the Boreas family is a mess. I was forced by circumstances and had no choice but to fake my death to get away with it.

They even bestowed a title upon him remotely, signifying that even if he lost the struggle for family headship, he would always have a place in the Water God School's main dojo.

Xinuo's face stiffened. In that instant, it was as if he saw the fierce and vigorous spirit of Leda in her youth returning to the old body before him.

Inside the carriage, there was a sharp, piercing intent of swordsmanship.

"Two years ago, it was Izoruti who made up her mind to find him. She found him, and then what?"
The old man helped him gain fame and momentum, and he successfully brought an end to the drawn-out struggle for the headship of the Boreas family. But before things had even calmed down for two months, the Great Migration Disaster struck.

The Boreas family is in an even greater crisis, and he has once again left without saying goodbye!

It's the same old fake death escape trick, the same old ingenious scheme!
The Water God Style is truly impressive! A brilliant move! In the turbulent lands and the Dragon King Kingdom, a two-year plan has revitalized the nearly collapsing Bereas.

I should be happy for him, I should be happy for him! Allen is a remarkable person! Izuru didn't misjudge him!

Leda slammed her hand on the table.

"She has never misjudged anyone from childhood to adulthood!"

When he first returned to find Allen, he renounced his faith in the Milis sect.

When he returned to Allen the second time, he gave up the surname Elkel again.

And now, what has she lost? She's not even a legal wife, even though she was the jewel of the Elkel family, who grew up with Eren and was a perfect match for him.

If you compromise again this time, can you guarantee there won't be a next time? What will you have to give up then? Will you be unable to have children at all?!

Xinuo huddled in the corner of the carriage, trembling.

Having a baby... that's thinking way too far ahead.
"The matriarch of the Boreas family greatly favors Miss Hilfiet. It's a difficult situation. Either we hold the weddings at the same time, both as principal wives... what do you think?"

When these words were spoken, Leda was taken aback.

But he laughed in anger.

"Sino, why are you always on Allen's side?"

Xinuo's face stiffened.

I'm not taking Allen's side, but just going along with what you said, senior sister, this is outrageous!
While Xino and Leda were 'arguing,' the coachman cracked his whip and slapped it on the horse's rump.

The people in the car were not there to witness Roltz's knighting ceremony in the first place.

They simply came to see what the relationship between Hilfi, the daughter of the protagonist being knighted today, and Philip is.

The results are now available.

The horses neighed and galloped away, their wheels rolling and clattering as they headed back towards the main dojo of the Water God in the Free District, away from the noisy crowd of nobles.

After passing through the wide, clean streets of the noble district, leaving the city gate, and passing the towering and magnificent Church of Milris, at the bend under the bridge outside the main dojo of the Water God, we encountered an old carriage traveling in the opposite direction.

The carriage curtains fluttered as they moved side by side.

Over there, you could hear Leda and Xinuo arguing.

On the other end, there was a complete silence, the opposite of what Alan and Aisha had shown.

Allen stared at Aisha's upright posture, speechless.

Aisha, meanwhile, gazed at the receding street scene outside the carriage window, muttering, "Wow, that was fast."

Just then, Allen suddenly turned to look out the car window and leaned his head close to Aisha's side.

The fleeting afterimage of the car passing by the window was gone in an instant!

He happened to see Leda and Sino sitting opposite each other.

She was muttering something like, "If you came here just to say these boring things, then go home." / "Senior sister, you should calm down."

Leda sensed the prying gaze, glanced at Allen's face, and quickly looked away.

Suddenly, my gaze drifted away into the undulating wind.

Allen turned to look out the car window, intending to tell the driver to stop so he could say hello.

But contrary to his expectations, Leda's car did not slow down at all and sped away.

"Did you see someone, brother?" Aisha's voice rang out from the side.

Because Allen had just leaned close to the car window, it was very, very close.

Allen paused briefly before replying, "Master Leda and Uncle Xinuo, it's been a long time since we last met. You both look quite energetic and were chatting enthusiastically. Your relationship is still as good as ever."

"That's great, it puts me at ease at first glance."

Aisha's voice reached my ears: "Brother, won't you stop and say hello? It's been so long since we last met."

As Allen watched the carriage disappear around a bend, he said, "It seems they didn't recognize me." He then looked at the receding Water God Sect headquarters for a while before turning to look at his side.

—Aisha was right next to his face, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him.

The two looked at each other, and she suddenly asked:

"Is your brother worried that your appearance has changed, and that you'll be returning to the manor soon and seeing Sister Hilfi and Madam, and that this might cause some distance between you?"
