Jobless Reincarnation: Sword, Magic Hat and Romance System

Chapter 50 You really just wanted to see me off?

"Why aren't you letting someone see you off?"

Luo Qixi pouted and glared angrily at Allen, who was sprawled on the carriage seat, clutching a knife like Ge You.

"I thought you were going to join me as an adventurer, but you..."

After Allen got into the carriage, he explained to Luo Qixi that he had come to give her a ride. This immediately broke Luo Qixi's defenses, who was all smiles. She didn't want to look at the scumbag anymore and turned to look out the carriage window, muttering incoherently.

"You couldn't find anyone when you were seeing them off, and now you're seeing them off again. You might as well stay with them; sneaking away for a little while won't get you back anyway."

Allen couldn't help but find Loki's expression amusing. He naturally understood that Loki, who had been lonely for a long time, mistakenly thought that he had come to his senses and accepted her suggestion from two months ago to become adventurers together.

Since you're going to be wanted anyway, why not just leave and go somewhere else?

However, given Eren's current condition, it's really not good, considering he's currently suspended due to his participation in the Musou Tensei Daiseikai event.

He shook his head. "Since I sneaked out, I certainly didn't just escort you part of the way. Didn't you say a week ago that there were bandits blocking the road outside Rigate City? Since this was caused by me, it's reasonable for me to escort you safely to Rigate City, isn't it? Last time you killed their men. If we're stopped again this time, and they have many people, including skilled swordsmen, what will you do?"

Luo Qixi suddenly turned to look at Allen, her expression somewhat blank. Although she felt that Allen was making sophistry, at first glance it seemed quite reasonable. Just as she was about to think about it more carefully, Allen spoke again.

"Their bandit gang's hideout is clearly involved in smuggling, and the slave trade is definitely a given. If you do get caught, will we meet again on the black market for slaves? Or maybe in a brothel for young girls? Oh dear!"

As she spoke, Loki kicked Allen in annoyance and turned her head to continue looking out the carriage window.

Allen blinked, and seeing that Loki had been fooled by him and was no longer concerned about whether sending her to the outskirts of Rigate City was reasonable, he silently breathed a sigh of relief. He could handle the task of dealing with the maned wolves by himself.

Firstly, she didn't want to cause any more trouble for Luo Qixi. Besides, if she said it outright, Luo Qixi might ask to go with her; Lan's mother was too kind.

Furthermore, Alan carefully considered things before going to bed last night and set a guideline for his future actions:

While maintaining the original storyline as much as possible, focus on scoring high to obtain the extra bonus for a perfect score in each major event. If there is a significant conflict between the preceding and following events, it is better to forgo the perfect score bonus than to incite a butterfly effect.

From a rational perspective, having read the novel's future vision and its bugs, this is a more stable source of income than points rewards.

Therefore, Allen concluded that the butterfly effect surrounding Loki should end here, and that it was necessary to avoid any further actions by Loki that might affect the future development of the storyline.

Secondly, Allen alone is more than enough. Thieves are a dark, shady den of the underworld, and experts above the Saint level wouldn't mingle in such places. If there were Saint-level experts, they would definitely be around the leader of the thief gang, not sent to the forest to do this.

This is a perfect whetstone for a childhood without too much conflict.

However, it wasn't just to sharpen their claws. Allen's trip was also to prevent the bandit group from constantly gathering information and potentially finding their way to Buena Village. These bandit groups operating in the gray area have many enemies, and even if their stronghold is wiped out, as long as no survivors are left and the evidence is burned, the possibility of them suspecting Allen is very small.

In this way, all the variables in childhood are reversed.

Allen looked up at Luo Qixi, whose expression had improved considerably, and chuckled.

"But if we become adventurers together, there will definitely be opportunities in the future, I promise. I'm still too young right now, and you know I'm wanted, so I definitely won't be going home to inherit the family business. So, in three or four years, after I hone my swordsmanship here with Master Paul, I'll come find you to become adventurers together, okay?"

"Traveling with Luo Qixi after the Great Transfer is a good option. I'll have location tracking then, which will avoid the awkward situation of missing each other at the port as in the original storyline. Not bad."

Luo Qixi glanced at Allen and suddenly realized that Allen was only nine years old. Usually, because he was tall and acted very maturely, Luo Qixi always subconsciously ignored his age.

"I forgot you're only nine years old. Your glib tongue is really unlike that of a nine-year-old."

Allen looked utterly dejected.

"Where did I goad around?"

Luo Qixi stared at him for a long time without saying a word, but when she did speak, she changed the subject.

"But I didn't bring enough food."

Upon hearing this, Allen pulled out a jar of Battier flower seed powder from his pocket and said excitedly.

"See! I was prepared. Don't you like sweet and spicy food? I can hunt monsters for you and then roast them."

Allen's expression froze when he saw Loki looking at the powdered Battier flower seeds with a strange expression.

"Oh no, I kept forgetting that an overdose of this stuff can cause fainting. I thought I wouldn't see Luo Qixi for the next few years? And here she is!! Wait! Has she already fainted?!?"

Luo Qixi squinted and remained silent, her gaze darting between the jar and Allen's face before finally pursing her lips.

"I didn't even mention it, and you still have the nerve to bring it up yourself."

"Let me explain."

Halfway through her sentence, she saw Luo Qixi open her suitcase, take out a completely empty jar, and scratch her face, her cheeks flushed.

"Although it might seem like it has some unorthodox uses, it's really delicious. Luckily, I know detoxification magic. But I should warn you beforehand that I'll have to use detoxification magic on myself every time I eat it!"

"What do you mean by 'seems to have some improper uses'?! If I really wanted to use this for something else, wouldn't it be better to just buy aphrodisiacs?! The antidote magic doesn't need special explanation, does it?! Do you think I'd hold your hand and stop you from using the antidote magic? And why do I even need to emphasize this?! Do I look that much like a womanizer?!? Huh???"

Allen watched this scene, his lips twitching. He had a lot of complaints in his mind, but he couldn't say them out loud. He could only mutter something under his breath.

"Then an antidote is indeed necessary."

"Give it to me, I want to store it so you can ask me for it again when you want to eat it, in case you take it and misuse it."

"You just want to secretly keep it for yourself, don't you?"

"No!"

-

Night, in the village of Bouyena.

Rudy stared blankly at his boxer briefs in the shrine.
