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

Chapter 572 Showdown
Their gazes were not far apart.

They can touch each other in just a few steps.

But their eyes had already met.

Paul's sunken cheeks and beggar-like appearance from two months ago have disappeared, but his cheeks are still somewhat thin, and stubble is still faintly visible on his chin. His face shows signs of fatigue from traveling day and night.

Strangely, Paul seemed to be quite pleased with himself.

Perhaps it was the news that his missing family members were still alive, perhaps it was the nourishment he received from Lilia, or perhaps it was the knowledge that his wife's illness could be cured.

He's in pretty good spirits.

Upon seeing this 'unfamiliar' white-haired man, she was slightly stunned, still trying to adjust to Allen's changed appearance.

Allen glanced quickly at Lilia.

The other person's complexion also looked much better.

Spring-breeze-triumphant-.

Senis's face remained blank.

It is perfectly reasonable for the wife to be currently in a criminal situation.

Of course, these thoughts only flashed through my mind.

Allen then turned his attention to his wife. At this moment, Loki was in a daze again, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, everyone pushed Loki to the front of Hilda.

Good heavens, Luo Qixi, who had always thought she would never have another chance to get married, was completely numb. She lowered her head, curled up like a quail, and looked away from side to side, not daring to glance at her future mother-in-law.

Naturally, Allen wasn't seen either.

When Allen saw Luo Qixi's appearance, he found her adorable and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Thud, he took a step.

Suddenly, everything went quiet. Luo Qixi realized something was wrong. Just then, a familiar teasing voice entered her ears, and she abruptly opened her eyes and turned to look.

Allen and Loki exchanged a brief glance.

Luo Qixi gasped softly.

Allen was all smiles.

Then, he watched as Luo Qixi jumped off the stool and ran quickly towards him. Allen opened his arms, wanting to hug his wife.
Pass by.

Allen's face stiffened, and he heard Luo Qixi's exclamation:

"Silphie!"

Hilfi was already taller than Loki, and when she saw Loki ignore Allen and instead bump into her, she was slightly surprised. Then, her eyes softened, her face became gentle, and she hugged Loki tightly.
"Teacher, it's been so long! I've missed you so much, and I like you so much."

Luo Qixi was a little embarrassed by Xilufei's blatant confession. She looked up at her and said, "What are you saying? You've grown so much taller, and your appearance has changed a bit. I almost didn't recognize you. Just now, Mistress said you're always talking about me. I'm really a little embarrassed."
I never imagined that such an irresponsible teacher like me would be remembered by my students so much.

Allen awkwardly lowered his hand.

Okay, okay.

But if Mom doesn't mention Silphie, she'll definitely still rush over and hug me.
Right?
In her line of sight, Luo Qixi reached out to touch the necklace around Xilufei's neck. The hemp rope that she had casually made back then was completely out of place with Xilufei's current appearance, looking particularly cheap, and even the edges were worn.

She blinked, her expression deeply moved: "I like Sylphie too."

Allen:
walk slowly.

Being able to get along well with you two is more important than anything else, really.

A chuckle ripped from the side.

I knew it was Aisha without even turning my head.

Please, I have my pride too.
Pat, pat, pat, pat!!!
The footsteps were heavy.

Allen looked up in surprise, and the next moment, Paul pulled him into his arms.

Paul used tremendous force, so much so that Allen even used his fighting spirit to stop the other from breaking his ribs.

Paul's voice, choked with sobs, rang in her ears: "Eren! Eren!! You were alive! I knew you were alive!! Thank you, thank you. Thank you for helping Senis and Lilia, thank you. Thank you. You've worked so hard. I'm so useless, so useless."

Allen was stunned for a moment, feeling the warmth of Paul's embrace, and in a daze, he felt as if he had returned to the village of Buena.

All he could do was reach out and pat Paul on the shoulder:

"Yes, I'm still alive. Long time no see, Uncle. You've worked very hard, actually. Everything is fine now."

Paul shoved Allen away, looked at his face, was moved for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter:
"But I didn't expect your appearance to have changed so much. You used to be much more handsome than me. Now... haha, you're more fierce than handsome. Hey, you're just a little bit lacking."

Allen's face stiffened.

The feeling of being moved just now vanished instantly.

Your mother.
Paul is still Paul, he never lets himself down.

Aisha, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw this scene.

Allen suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Paul's expression with great anticipation.

Sure enough, the next moment, he noticed Aisha.

The father and daughter looked at each other.

Aisha smiled: "Father"

Paul glanced at her hair color and looked surprised: "I didn't expect Alice to have grown into such a beautiful young woman in just two years. I almost didn't recognize her."

Aisha: ?
Hilfi, holding Lokishi, glanced at Melna, whose figure was too good to pass up, and then paused when she saw Alina Lisze. She then suddenly asked:

"By the way, where's Izuru-neechan?"

Allen looked around the restaurant and saw a group of people sitting around the table: Tarhand, who was drinking tea with his head down; Melna, who was looking at Aisha, who had grown up, with an excited expression and bright eyes; and Alina Liz, who was secretly observing Sylphie.
The only one missing is Izoruti.

The mosaic face of the god suddenly popped into Allen's mind, and his heart skipped a beat:
"Huh? Where's Izoruti?"

Luo Qixi turned to look at him: "She separated from us in the Free Zone because we passed by the Water God Stream Main Dojo, so she said she would go back and take a look before coming home."

Allen breathed a sigh of relief: "I see."

Loki hesitated for a moment, then added, "However, Chagall sent something to us while we were on the road."

-

The main dojo of the Water God.

Leda looked at the tea table in front of her.

On the table is a wooden box, fifty centimeters long and fifty centimeters wide, with an ice magic circle engraved inside.

Inside, Darius's head was frozen solid, covered in frost, and still retained the look of ecstatic joy he had when he saw Eren, staring intently at Reda.

Leda's droopy eyelids twitched incessantly. And right in front of her, just across the table, was the very spot where Allen had just been sitting.

Isorti, holding the sword at her waist, bowed to Reda in a posture similar to a dogeza (a traditional Japanese prostration), but even more forceful.

"Darius, I killed him."

Xinuo sat to the side, his face twitching.

Leda stared blankly at Darius's head for a long time before closing the wooden box. She looked at Izalute as if she was about to get angry, but in the end she just took two short breaths and calmed herself down.

“Allen was just here, and he said the same thing. So, Darius, who among you killed him?”

Izuru-tei spoke decisively, without even raising her head:
"it's me."

"How to kill?"

"A clean, decisive vertical cut."

“Raise your head.”

Izuru looked up and met Reda's gaze.

The latter scrutinized her face: "Get up. Your face has gotten thinner. You're always thinking about protecting Allen. I don't know if it's worth it."

Izuru frowned: "It's not about protecting him, Darius is indeed me."

Leda waved her hand, interrupting her:
"I have some news for you. This morning, Allen went to the capital to meet with that kid Gravel. The laws of Asura have been changed. A duke can now have ten wives at the same time."

Izuru smiled first.

Having multiple wives? That must be tough on you, Senior Brother. But this way, Miss Hilfi, Miss Loki, and even myself can all have them.
Then she was stunned:
"Ten? Was that your idea, Senior Brother?"

Leda picked up her teacup and took a sip: "It shouldn't be. There's some of Gravel's ulterior motive involved, but according to Dantoris, Allen's original intention was probably four people."

Seeing Izuru's sudden change in expression, Dantoris said with a stiff face, "Perhaps I misheard."

Izuru ignored her brother and simply frowned deeply.

"Four people?"

-

"Love love love love love love love love love love love."

"Stop loving her, Uncle. It's no exaggeration to say that I love Xia herself."

Alina Lizzie and Tarhand have already left the Boreas Palace. The former couldn't stand being cooped up any longer and went hunting. The latter, on the other hand, wasn't quite used to the Asura nobles' ways. With Alina Lizzie's departure, Paul and the others had time to catch up.

At this moment, before the dining table, Aisha lifted the hem of her maid outfit, twirled in place, and, regaining her balance, gave a maid's bow to Lilia and Paul:

"Father, Mother, just as my brother said, I am your daughter, Aisha Notos Greirat. Congratulations! You didn't have to wait ten years to have such a sensible Aisha!"

Clap clap clap clap, Melna clapped her hands, her eyes shining as she looked at Aisha's figure, which was exactly the same as hers, and then at Ellen beside her, her eyes filled with genuine joy.

Paul and Lilia were speechless with shock, looking Aisha up and down, still feeling a sense of unreality about Eren's explanation of the timeline.

The former was stunned for a long time, scratching his head and muttering, "Am I dreaming? Aisha was so small before, and now she's grown up so much. It's like a dream."

Lilia suddenly stood up and walked towards Aisha. Her steps were initially very fast, but slowed down as she reached Aisha. Finally, she gently walked up to Aisha, took her hand, and her voice trembled slightly:

"If what I just said is true, then the conflict zone is Aisha. Yes, it's Aisha. It's not that I was lucky enough to protect you, but that Aisha has been working hard behind the scenes, right?"

Aisha scratched her face: "Mother worked very hard, was very attentive, and worked very hard. Without your caring attention, we wouldn't have come this far."

Lilia turned to look at Noren, who was hiding behind Senis, then at Aisha: "Okay, okay."

She looked at Aisha's maid outfit, her pupils dilating: "So... Aisha has become a maid for the Boreas family?"

Seeing that the conversation had turned to Aisha's career plans, Allen quickly moved closer: "Lilia, it's like this, I was just about to tell you about this. Currently, as part of the Nottos family, it's not ideal for Aisha to stay in Bereas. What I'm thinking is, in the future, she could..."

Lilia grabbed Allen's hand with a startled cry: "Great!!"

Alan: ???
"No, Lilia, listen to me. Aisha is an independent individual now. And she's a very talented magician."

Although Lilia was still reeling from the shock of Aisha's sudden growth, she still believed that no matter how talented Aisha was, she was the wrong result of her and Paul's wrong circumstances.

Since the result is wrong, then it should not have a position.

She was a maid, and naturally, a maid's child would also be a maid.

“Alan. Actually, when I was in Buena Village, before Aisha was even born, I wanted her to serve you. You saved Buena Village, so for so many years I have been raising her as a maid. But as you said, now Aisha has grown up overnight, and I can’t control her life.”

She looked at Aisha:
"Aisha, would you...would you stay with Alan? Serve him, take care of him, and fulfill your mother's wish? Of course, if you don't want to...I..."

Aisha blinked and almost instantly understood what Lilia was thinking.

However, Lilia's choice was in line with her needs.

So she looked at the surface of her maid's shoes and said, "I'm willing."

Lilia breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a great weight lifted from her shoulders.

Allen frowned.

"No, Lilia, you can't impose your own ideas on the child."

"No, no, Allen, you heard it too, this is Aisha's own idea." Lilia was a little flustered, as if she felt that Allen looked down on her and her child and thought they were not good enough, so she quickly replied.

".Is it?"

“Yes,” Aisha replied, her eyes lowered.

Allen looked at the mother and son, then reluctantly turned to look at Paul:
“Uncle, now that you are the head of the Notos family, is it appropriate for Aisha, as the second daughter, to serve as a housekeeper or maid in the Boreas family?”

Paul hesitated for a moment, his expression turning somewhat grim.

Lilia has no official status in Paul's family and is still considered a maid. In a noble family, Lilia's child, although the second daughter, actually has no status.

At most, she's an illegitimate child.

Moreover...
I, as the head of the family, have never been recognized by the Nottos family, so where does this claim of being the second daughter of the Nottos come from?
In addition, Lilia had been subtly influencing him along the way, and he had already accepted Lilia's suggestion that Aisha serve Allen.

After all, Allen is a benefactor, and a very reliable person, isn't he?

He stroked his chin sheepishly and said:
"Well, it's a bit difficult to give advice without Senis's input. To be honest, I'm still not quite used to the fact that Aisha has grown up so much."
However, my family doesn't recognize me as the head of the Nottos family. To be honest, I'm not ready to take over the family business my father left behind. Life in Buena Village is good enough. Lilia and Senis are very happy. Right now, I'm more focused on curing Senis's illness.
As for Aisha and Allen, they're reliable, and it's good for them to make a living in Boreas. Didn't you guys go to Roy Adam's tutoring program before?
Rudy comes here often too, so they can look out for each other.
Um... how should I put it? If I stayed in the Boreas family, it would be like Gilead staying in the Boreas family.

Allen looked at Paul and his expression turned serious. He glanced around, his gaze lingering briefly on the faces of Loki and Shiruffy, before looking at Aisha.

He sighed:
“Uncle, I approve of Aisha being in the Boreas household, but being a maid is not her proper role in the Boreas household. That's what I wanted to say.”

He glanced at Hilfi's shoes from the side of his view and felt his throat go dry.

“I think there is a more suitable place for Aisha in the Boreas family.”
