Jobless Reincarnation: Sword, Magic Hat and Romance System

Chapter 5 Allen Boreas Greirat

This action was somewhat rude to a 'stranger' they were meeting for the first time.

But Allen did it on purpose; on the one hand, he did seem to be acting like a scoundrel just now.

on the other hand.

If this continues, it'll really turn into a romance anime guide for blond-haired guys. Although he really liked Loki before he transmigrated, always calling her "Blue Mommy Blue Mommy," the reality is now that Allen has to rely on his precognitive abilities from reading the novel to safely participate in the Mushoku Tensei Daisukeenshi.

Allen needs to be close to Loki, but maintaining an appropriate distance is equally important.

In this world of no jobs, due to information stagnation, communication between people is limited to letters and face-to-face meetings, making relationships relatively simple. Therefore, Rudeus uses some of the cheap, online sweet talk and little tricks.

They will easily receive strong and vivid positive feedback from the opposite sex.

It's outrageous, but it's true.

In the blink of an eye, Allen acted decisively. He mimicked Loki's gloomy expression, raised his sharp, arched eyebrows, and stared intently at her forehead.

"Of course, if there really is a red demonic eye here, I might cut off your head before you eat me, since we're too close."

"It's just a matter of swinging a knife, what do you say?"

After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at the headless corpses of the four demons beside him.

Luo Qixi subconsciously followed his gaze and immediately shivered.

Yes, she, as a magician, actually dared to intimidate a swordsman by getting right up to his face.

Ultimately, it's because she had just separated from Rudeus, and when she encountered a child who appeared to be quite young, she subconsciously adopted the same communication patterns she used with Rudeus.

But the other person wasn't Rudy, nor was he a harmless child.

Instead, he was an adventurer wandering in a forest where monsters frequently appeared late at night. In an instant, he drew his sword and killed four monsters, while also casually slashing his water ball spell, which could increase his magic output, right in front of his face. His control of distance was extremely precise.

This casual display of skill was even stronger than most A-rank adventurers he had ever seen.

Intermediate swordsman? No, that's not enough. He's more likely an advanced swordsman.

Thinking of this, Luo Qixi immediately calmed down and raised her leg to stand up and distance herself from Allen, but when her eyes swept over Allen, she suppressed her impulse.

In the blink of an eye, Allen had already put on a serious face, extended his right hand, and bowed his head to Lokishi in a gesture of aristocratic respect.

Luo Qixi could even see the fine hairs on the back of the other person's neck.

Allen demonstrated through his actions that, contrary to his words, he had no ill intentions.

"Sorry, I'm not kidding anymore. Thank you so much. To be honest, even though I cut your water sphere in half, I really owe you a debt of gratitude for saving my life."

It was also accompanied by a respectful title.

Luo Qixi blinked, sat up straight again, and placed her hands on her knees.

After Allen's push and pull, a complete "tug-of-war," the atmosphere between the two became formal again.

The conversation returned to normal.

"What does this mean? And how do you know about the Migruds?"

Allen reached out and unsheathed the sword from his waist, placing it horizontally in front of the two to indicate that he had no intention of attacking. At the same time, he pointed at the sheath and looked up at Loki, lying.

"As you can see, the sword techniques I just used put a lot of strain on my body. If you weren't here, I would be injured, and if other monsters followed the firelight, my life would be in danger."

As for the Migrud, know that all swordsmen yearn for a divine weapon that suits their hands.

"Although I am not very old, I have read the Legend of the Northern Gods. Those magic swords with various effects were made by Julian Harris, a famous swordsmith of the demon race."

To understand this master, I read many books related to the Demon Continent, so I know quite a few demons.

Luo Qixi remained silent for a moment.

"However, if I didn't use magic, you wouldn't need to wield your sword with such strenuous skill. Compared to monsters, my water sphere magic probably posed a greater threat to you, because you couldn't determine whether the source of the magic, appearing suddenly in the dead of night in this forest, was friend or foe. That's why you tried your best to eliminate the crisis in the shortest amount of time, while simultaneously displaying your strength to intimidate the newcomer. Am I right?"

Allen glanced at Luo Qixi with surprise. The latter resumed her indifferent expression with half-closed eyes, but there was no fear or aloofness. She returned Allen's kindness by sitting obediently on the ground, her mage robe stretched taut by her duck-sitting posture. She rested her hands on her knees, looking like she was just stating the facts.

As expected of an adventurer who has traversed the Demon Continent and the Miris Continent for many years, aside from the cute elements deliberately emphasized for market reasons in the anime, Loki's judgment is extremely sharp. Her relaxed vigilance towards me is probably because she's been in the peaceful Asura Kingdom for too long and has become complacent.

This is a formidable person who can solo leveling in a maze despite her frail magician's body. To treat her like a delicate flower that could be broken by the wind would be an insult to the dignity of a god.

Allen smiled.

"That's true, but the fact is, your water ball spell was genuinely to save me, not for any other purpose. Isn't that right? I realized that, which is why I stopped trying to hold on. As for the healing spell you cast to save me after I fainted, that kindness was real. I'm grateful for it."

Loki looked at Allen, leaned forward slightly, and stared at him with a slightly aggressive posture.

This time, however, he remained silent for a long while before pointing to the carcass of the wild boar that had been killed.

He said it calmly.

"So, your fainting spell was intentional, wasn't it? To test whether I harbored malicious intent."

"You were lying on your back after you fainted, which didn't hinder your sword-drawing movement. If I had taken advantage of your momentary lapse in attention to do something bad, my head would probably be as severed as those bones by now, right?"

Allen froze, realizing he'd been found out, and quickly tried to cover it up.

"That's subconscious."

Before he could explain, Luo Qixi interrupted him.

"It's okay. I can tell that you were unguarded after you sat up. Your gratitude is genuine. You should be aware of this when you're going on an adventure alone. It's really not easy for someone your age to be so vigilant. On the contrary, I've been living a peaceful life for too long these past few years, and you've taught me a lesson."

Loki pulled at her bangs with a slightly troubled expression, tilted her head to look at the wand beside her, and gradually lowered her voice.

"However, his glib tongue and tendency to not tell the truth make him a qualified adventurer."

Allen stared intently at Loki, and in that instant, he truly felt the personal charm that the other person unconsciously exuded.

It's not about superficial things like fair skin and good looks.

She is truly kind-hearted.

Thinking of this, Allen looked at Loki very seriously.

The latter seemed to sense Allen's intense gaze and turned to look at him with some confusion.

Then I heard a young but determined voice ring out beside my ear.

"Thank you, but I can't agree with your glibness. What I said when I 'woke up' might sound like nonsense to you, but it was truly from the bottom of my heart."

Luo Qixi stared blankly at Allen, who had a serious expression on his face.

[It's important to remind the host that repeatedly increasing Loki's favorability won't earn more rewards, but it must be said...]

Allen quickly waved his hand to shatter the system that was not yet solidified in front of him.

"Even gratitude is unacceptable? Genuine feelings are being called 'faking it'? Don't be ridiculous."

Luo Qixi paused for a moment, looking at Allen's strange behavior, a subtle smile appeared on her lips.

"So when you call me 'Mom,' are you really being sincere? You're clearly mocking my short stature. But, no one on the Asura Continent would expect a demon to be here, would they? Short stature and mature tone, it is indeed very suspicious."

Allen: Wake up, Blue Mom. Where is the maturity in your tone? The lifespan of the Migrudia race is 400 years. If you convert that, you're only a teenager. In fact, your brain development is still at the teenage stage. I won't even mention the fact that the Demon race itself has a lower intelligence.

Lost in thought, I heard Luo Qixi clear her throat.

"Don't call me Mom, I have a name."

Allen nodded in agreement with Loki's words and then asked.

"May I ask what your name is?"

"Lokishi Migrudia. And you?"

"Allen."

Allen paused, then looked at Luo Qixi, whose deep blue eyes in the darkness held only sincerity.

Forget it, I've already lied enough tonight. I won't lie to Luo Qixi anymore.

I'll give her a little reminder later. Given Luo Qixi's personality, even if she goes to the capital and hears some rumors, she'll be willing to help keep her whereabouts a secret.

After a slight pause, Allen revealed his full name.

"Allen Boreas Greirat".
