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

Chapter 559 A mess

Appeasing Rudy is a skill.

Allen had never imagined that Rudy could cry so bitterly, leaving him feeling conflicted.

Aisha picked this shirt out for herself; she smeared snot on it, making it difficult to wash.
Of course, Allen had to grumble about Rudy's performance, but deep down he was very moved.

He had momentarily forgotten that Rudy himself was also under the watchful eye of the Creator God and possessed a powerful destiny. Although a lot of it had been taken away by his butterfly, it was not enough for him to simply believe that the experience in the other timeline was just an illusory dream.

Over the past two weeks, Rudy must have asked himself more than once whether the long life he dreamed of was just a mirage.
Just now, when he saw his own appearance and Aisha as an adult, even if he found it absurd, he should have realized that the memories of that timeline were real.

Thus, he completely inherited the person from the other timeline, becoming the mature NEET who now sees Eren alive, is somewhat sentimental, and yearns to prove that what he did in that timeline was worthwhile.

So Allen could only put his arm around his shoulder and keep affirming what he had done.

So what should we do?
NEET still needs a lot of praise.

The mastermind behind this feat of using time magic to save himself was the world-destroying god Allen, the executor was Aisha, and the planner was Orstead.

But Rudy was undoubtedly a key figure in the plan to mediate the relationship between Alsteed and Aisha.

Not to mention.
His original intention in joining Alsterd was to learn from the barbarians' superior techniques in order to control them.

Although he later came to understand Alsteid's character, his act of sliding to his knees to become Alsteid's subordinate was genuine.

Allen pondered, feeling the thickening tears and snot on his chest. He glanced at Rudy, who had almost finished venting, then his eyes flickered with slight surprise as he looked at Seven Stars beside him.

"Hey, Rudy, who's this?"

Rudy then realized that Seven Stars had been there the whole time. He seemed a little ashamed and quickly wiped his face haphazardly.

“This Cyrton Sevenstar, Allen, just call her Sevenstar.”

The characters "七星" (Seven Stars) are a strange transliteration of Japanese.

At this point, Rudy paused, glanced at Sylphie, and lowered his voice to whisper in Allen's ear:
"They are reincarnated beings like us. No, I am the only pure reincarnated being. You were reincarnated after time travel, while she was just a time traveler. Strictly speaking, we are all from the same hometown."

Allen:
He subtly wiped the snot from his shirt onto Rudy's clothes.

You little idiot, who said you're from the same hometown?

He reconsidered and decided not to reveal his speculation about witnessing the car accident and subsequently writing about another Mushoku Tensei world line. He simply shook his head and said:
"Strictly speaking, we are not from the same hometown. I am Chinese, and you should be Japanese."

Rudy's eyes widened: "Huh?"

He had a sudden thought, but he had considered that Allen wasn't from this country before. After all, the two had very different ways of behaving, and there were too many differences in their ways of dealing with people compared to him and Seven Stars.

As these thoughts surfaced, a distant memory inexplicably came to mind. Startled, she uttered in surprise:

"So, do deities like Red Mother, Blue Mother, and White Mother really exist in your hometown? I've never heard of them."

Allen:
She has a pretty good memory.
"Have you been going to school properly?"

Rudy paused, his smile stiffening slightly, before blurting out, "Of course I studied hard! I graduated with honors from Waseda University, the same university as Haruki Murakami!"

Allen glanced at Rudy.

Waseda University and Haru Murakami are both strange transliterations.

However, because the car company Allen worked for before his time travel had a close partnership with Toyota, and because he had passed the Japanese proficiency test and had also spent half a year working abroad in Japan, he understood it very quickly.

The latter's face was still wet with tears, and he looked pitiful (crossed out). He saw Allen glancing at him and coughed awkwardly.
"I guess I finished high school."

Allen didn't intend to make things difficult for him, and turned to look at Qixing, who had been staring at him for a long time.

Just like the description in the novel, she has a round, tall face and can be considered pretty.

Seven Stars also looked back at Allen, sizing him up.

Allen smiled and said, "Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Allen Boreas Greirat."

Seven Stars nodded: "Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Serent Sevenstar."

While the two were exchanging greetings, Aisha shifted her gaze away from Rudy, who was still crying and clinging to Alan's sleeve.

He then turned his gaze to the Seven Stars.

To be honest, this was the first time she had ever looked at the Seven Stars from the perspective of female competition.

After realizing that the other person was objectively different from her in both size and appearance, she naturally looked away.

But he felt a gaze directed at him.

The direction is...
Aisha's body stiffened slightly as she slowly turned her head.

In his line of sight, Hilfi was facing Rudy and Allen, glancing at him sideways.

A smile still lingered on his face.

His gaze, however, was somewhat indifferent.

On a distant street corner, Philip, panting heavily, leaned against the wall, watching the interaction between the group.

He waited for a while, as if hesitating whether to go forward.

Seeing Allen and the others head into the mansion, he subconsciously took a step forward, but a moment later he gave a self-deprecating laugh:
"Never mind. Let's leave today's time for Sylphie and Rudy. As for Hilda, she should be prepared as well."

He watched Allen's retreating figure as they entered the gates of the Boreas mansion together.

Only after he could no longer see her figure did he murmur again:
"It's been two years already. Time really flies."
Her hair turned white even earlier than mine.

-

We finally entered the mansion.

Allen wanted to wait until Rudy calmed down before introducing Aisha to Hilfi and explaining why Rudy was crying and why Aisha had suddenly grown up.

Before he could explain, the servants in the house had already gone in to inform him.

Good heavens! A whole bunch of maids, led by the head maid Lil the cat-eared girl, poured out, lined up in two rows, and bowed in unison to welcome Allen home, asking the young master not to stand in front of the door and to come in quickly.

Of course, the language used was very formal, not so casual.

Allen could only put his arm around Rudy's shoulder and go home first.

Boreas's residence in the capital was not large, and there were not many places to accommodate so many guests at once. The back garden was one option, but it was occupied, so the restaurant was the only choice.

Everyone gathered around the dining table, and the head seat was reserved for Allen.

Allen looked at the restaurant in Boreas, overwhelmed with emotion. In front of him, steam rose from the pristine white tablecloth, revealing prominent stains of black tea.

Allen glanced down and thought of the scene two years ago when he had placed James's head here.

He smiled and spoke to Alifa, the rabbit-eared girl who was pouring tea and staring blankly at his face:

"Alifa, the tea is overflowing."

"Ah! Ah! Yes!! I'm sorry! Young Master A. Allen!"

Arifa, who had just entered and gone to fetch black tea to pour for Allen, was startled. She quickly averted her gaze from Allen's face and pulled a napkin from her bosom to haphazardly wipe the table. Between glances, she would look up at Allen, then her eyes would flicker towards Lil, the cat-eared head maid who was pouring tea for Sylphie.

The latter glared at Alifa, but didn't scold him in front of Allen. He simply filled the teacup in front of Sylphie and turned to pour tea for Rudy and Seven Stars.

The restaurant doors were wide open, and the newly arrived maids gathered at the door and windows, looking at Alan sitting at the table, with occasional whispers escaping their lips.

"The young master, is it?"

"Lord Allen, you're so young!"

"His aura is quite impressive, just as rumored. Look at his sword."

"A sword? I can't see it."

"It's not the sword from there, it's the sword at the waist."

The whispers were so faint that only Allen could hear them.

The feeling of returning to the capital became more tangible, and Allen glanced at Lil's retreating figure.

The other party was familiar with Allen's style and knew that he was not a fussy person. At this moment, he did not immediately reprimand the new maids for their impolite behavior. It seemed that he was taking this opportunity to let the maids get to know who the next heir of this mansion was.

Sure enough, after she had finished serving tea to the guests in turn, she straightened her back and wagged her tail to signal the maids to leave and return to their posts.

Then, he closed the restaurant door and turned around to stand meekly beside Sylphie:
"Welcome back to your Boreas, young master Allen. Alifa, please forgive me."

Lil, who had previously flirted with Allen in Roya, didn't even look up, only looking down at her toes.

The next instant, Alifa's face turned pale, like a rabbit whose foot had been stepped on. Her ears suddenly perked up, and she glanced in alarm at Sylphie, who was calmly sipping her tea with the air of a matriarch. She then bent over, her face contorted with a mournful expression, and said in a distressed tone:

"I'm sorry! Lord Allen! I haven't seen you in so long, I was a little lost in thought! I'm sorry. Please... please don't fire me. I was born Alifa of the Boreas family, and I will die Alifa, killed by Young Master Allen's own hands."

Hilfi stopped sipping her tea.

Rudy stared at Alifa with his mouth agape, looking utterly shocked.

Qixing was somewhat bewildered and couldn't immediately understand what Alifa meant.

Aisha, who was standing to the right and behind Allen with her hands folded in front of her, was taken aback. She frowned and looked at Alifa with a dangerous glint in her eyes.

Allen touched his forehead, feeling like everything was back.

Still the same look.

He waved his hand: "My appearance has changed, so you should be reacting like this. It's alright, go downstairs, I'll chat with them for a bit."

Already possessing a somewhat absent-minded nature, Alifa, whose tears were almost welling up from being touched by Sylphie's past interactions with Allen, bowed deeply to Sylphie in apology before following Lil, who wagged her tail, out of the restaurant.

The door slowly closed.

Allen looked around and noticed that Aisha hadn't sat down. He turned to look at Aisha, who was standing behind him in a maid outfit, and was about to gesture for her to sit next to him, as it wouldn't look right for her to stand there.

But it hadn't even reached the export stage yet.

Through his extremely keen senses, he heard a soft "snap" coming from outside the door.

Then came Alifa's suppressed gasp.

Lil whispered, "You must be reserved in front of the mistress. Although you have interacted with the young master before, and he doesn't seem to dislike you, you still need to know your limits. If you continue like this, don't blame me for getting rid of you. Know your place in the Bereas family, Alifa. I have high hopes for you, so don't keep disappointing me."

"I know, I know. I just noticed that the young master's appearance had changed. Although I was somewhat prepared, I was still taken aback because he looked a bit fiercer."

Allen:
Aisha couldn't hear the conversation. When she saw Allen turn to look at her, she paused and raised her eyes slightly in confusion.

"I mean, you're really good at positioning yourself here, aren't you?"

The words are not finished yet.

There's new commotion outside.

Lil's whisper carried a mature charm, mixed with obvious teasing: "Fierce? Isn't it more heroic now? I didn't have the guts to even glance at you twice. You got lucky. How does it feel?"

Alifa: "Upon closer inspection, his features still resemble Lord Allen, only his brows and eyes look more stern, and I always feel like his gaze is like a knife. I've had this feeling before, but never so intensely that it hurts my eyes."

Lil chuckled, a devilish sound: "...Do you like it?"

Alifa: "I like it"

Allen: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

His expression froze for a moment, and for some reason, he felt a little guilty. He subconsciously glanced at Hilfi sitting next to him.

The latter remained expressionless, completely oblivious to the distant whispers that could only be detected by the flow of emotions.

Allen breathed a sigh of relief.

If Hilfi heard this, she might have arranged for Alifa to be poisoned to death today.

But after so much time, why is the rabbit girl still like this?
Where did all these quirks come from?!

In the brief moment that Allen was lost in thought, to the others it looked as if Allen was struggling with how to deal with the beautiful maid he had brought back—a woman with red hair, striking features, and bright, expressive eyes.

Rudy watched the two of them staring at each other, seemingly wondering why Allen would glance at Aisha and then at Hilfi. But the next moment, his expression changed drastically, and he became somewhat flustered. He jumped up, pulled out the chair next to him, and pulled Aisha to sit down next to him.

"Sit down! What are you standing there for? Aisha? Sit down! What's the meaning of standing here?"

Aisha didn't sit down. She frowned, glanced at her brother, and pointed to the clothes she was wearing.

She made it clear that she had transmigrated here to take care of Eren. Brother, you clearly know that Mother is raising me to be Eren's maid, so why are you sitting? Is this the place for me to sit?
Rudy glanced at Hilfi across from him, who was clearly holding a teacup and frowning as she stared at the rim, looking as if she were carrying a gleaming dagger. Cold sweat immediately broke out on Rudy's back.

Just then, Allen suddenly turned his head and looked straight at the restaurant entrance, standing up from his seat.

Very hurried footsteps.

Thump, thump, thump, thump!
A vibrant red wave crashed open the door.
