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

Chapter 99 The Darkness of Rainfall and Wild Stream
Buena Village is located at the northernmost tip of Fitoya Territory. As an important crop harvesting area, it is a tradition to repair the road every year to facilitate transportation.

This is a very flat dirt road that can accommodate two carriages running side by side.

If the weather is good, you won't feel any obvious bumps when sitting in the carriage.

The heavy rain had not stopped yet and had been going on for some time.

The roads were naturally muddy.

The carriage was also very bumpy.

How bad has it become?

The white hair swung back and forth in the carriage, and the glow from the ends of the hair scratched Alan's cheek.

Sylphy used earth magic to fix the candle on the table, but the candle flame still flickered.

Sylphy was almost sitting on Alan.

Alice was already sitting on the cat maid, leaning in the cat-eared girl's arms with her eyes closed and her breathing even.

The bumpy carriage was like a cradle, and the soft embrace carried the scent of her favorite Furui Beast Girl.

I slept soundly.

In order to resist looking at the cat girl's tail swinging back and forth as the carriage shook, Alan kept staring at the top of Sylphy's head, thinking about what was about to happen.

The latter felt Alan's 'burning' gaze, and put his head on his chest like a quail, but his eyes were fixed on his knees that kept touching Alan as the carriage swayed.

She didn't know if it was her usual sleeping time, but she felt that as time passed after she got on the carriage, her mind became more and more confused, as if she was floating on the clouds.

She could clearly perform a simple blowing magic to wrap her body and "press" herself against the seat in the carriage to stop her knees from shaking, but she was unable to send the command information through her brain to mobilize the magic power in her body.

I had no choice but to let it keep touching Alan's knees, spreading them apart and poking them.
'921.'
This is the number of encounters.

"Sylphy, are you feeling unwell? Why have you been keeping your head down since this afternoon?"

'92? '

!!!

Sylphy jumped up with a start, immediately tensed her legs, and put them together in front of her body, the number in her mind also stuck at 922.

I sat down steadily and the magic came back immediately!

"No! No! Alan!"

Alan had already noticed that Sylphy had been too quiet since she cried in the afternoon. He looked down at Sylphy's quail-like appearance and soft white hair, and blinked.

"That's good, do you want to get some sleep?"

Sylphy was a little confused.

"Want to get some sleep?"

"Yes, we still have several hours to get to Roya City. You can get some sleep like Alice did."

Sylphy raised her eyes and looked across.

"Alice fell asleep in the arms of the cat-eared sister. If I were like her, where would I sleep?"

Alan's chest flashed past in his peripheral vision, and his reddish-brown pupils began to tremble!
“I! I! I’m not sleepy!”

The soft voice is trembling!
Alice on the opposite side was awakened by the voice. She wiped her eyes sleepily, changed her posture and fell asleep again.

There was silence in the car for a moment before Alan replied.

"Oh, then don't sleep yet. It's good to stay awake."

Only after hearing Alan's still calm voice fall did Sylphy recover from her stiffness.

"it is good"

The knees shook again.

But Alan couldn't focus on such things.

A gust of wind blew, opening the carriage curtains, and broken raindrops fluttered in front of Alan's eyes.

'System, unfinished task progress.'

烟尘浮现而出。【考核（1/2），倒计时：16:49:23。任务奖励：参与度评分：5分。】

[As a younger sister, I have gained the respect that I should have for my older brother.]

[Quest Reward: Divine Strike Magic Groove——Unlocked.]

[Alice: Countdown: 40:41:07. If completed, the magic slot of God Strike can be unlocked.]

Alan's eyes flickered over the mission time.

'There are only 16 hours left for the assessment task. The time for the system task cannot be aimless, and according to previous verification'

"One of the tests Philip gave me was 'ability', which was verified by the system, and Philip also made it clear during the interview in the rain. He was very satisfied with my potential in this area and hoped that he would teach me personally and train me to be a qualified 'politician'. In the future, we will go to the capital together and re-enter the vortex of fighting for power."

"But it should be noted that before he came, he actually had no confidence in me, a 'kid' who was famous for my martial arts since childhood in the Water God School. That's why he only set up a few simple variables, pushed me into the variables, and observed my reactions to judge my 'ability'. As for being able to satisfy him, it was purely a pleasant surprise."

"Then, judging from this information, the assessment content previously set up should not focus on my 'ability'."

Philip's words came to his mind.

"Alan, I know how talented you are in swordsmanship. You don't have to underestimate yourself. You can definitely help us with your martial arts alone."

Alan narrowed his eyes and made a judgment.

"It's the force, or the swordsmanship."

Thinking of this, Alan reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage, then looked at the two carriages following behind him.

"There's something wrong with the fourth carriage. A beast girl, the empty carriage is supposed to hold the luggage of the three of us, but it's totally unnecessary. Luggage can't only be placed on the seats in the carriage. If she is moved to Alice's carriage, the fourth carriage will be completely empty."

Thinking of this, Alan turned his head, looked at the cat girl opposite him and spoke with a very gentle smile.

The voice is also very soft.

"Hello, Miss, I have a question for you."

The cat-eared beast girl shook her ears, as if she didn't expect Alan to suddenly ask, while Sylphy on the side was startled and immediately sat up straight again.

Alice had been sleeping very uneasily and had shown signs of waking up just now. When she heard Alan's not quiet voice, she rubbed her eyes and muttered, "It's so noisy."

Along with the eldest lady's voice, Alan's questioning voice rang out.

"Where's Gilenu?"

The cat-eared beast girl's smile froze.

When Alice heard Gileno's name, she suddenly opened her eyes.

"Huh? Is Gilenu here?"

She straightened up suddenly and looked left and right in the arms of the cat-eared maid, but there was no sign of Gileno in her sight.

“What are you doing?”

As he spoke, the wind slapped the curtains.

Alan had already gotten the answer he wanted from the cat-eared beast girl's expression.

He tilted his head to look out the window at the rainy night, and at the same time, the carriage next to him also caught Philip's attention.

A familiar sense of voyeurism.

Perception from the Water God Flow.

Even through the heavy rain, he could feel Philip's 'gaze'.

He still had that squinting look on his face and a leisurely expression.

As the curtains fluttered, dark shadows from the distance came towards me.

That is…

A forest in the rain.

　That's too late.

　　This plot has been buried for a long time and involves many threads, which made me feel extremely stuck.
