Jobless Reincarnation: Sword, Magic Hat and Romance System

Chapter 58 Childhood sweethearts are nothing more than toys in the face of a sudden arrival.

"I was wondering why you suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Allen, offering to give me a ride. Turns out you came here to take down the thieves' hideout. But why didn't you tell me? Why did you send me back first and then return yourself? After you left, I realized something was wrong. Thinking back to yesterday, it really happened at this very spot where you left in the middle of the night last night."

Just now, after Loki and Allen met, Allen wanted to explain something, but before he could say anything, Loki glared at him and then started to use fire magic to destroy the evidence.

The former watched the latter go through a practiced process of disposing of the body, then quickly pulled himself away from the crime scene by his sleeve. Only now did the two begin to have a proper conversation.

In the woods, Mother Blue magically boiled water and was standing on a boulder behind Alan, washing his hair.

The water sphere, suspended in the air, was scorched by flames. A hole was left at the bottom, from which warm water flowed continuously onto Allen's body, drenching him from head to toe, and accumulating into a pool of reddish blood on the ground.

Of course, Allen was wearing clothes. As for why he took a shower directly, it was because his body was too dirty with blood and grime. The two of them figured it was better to wash his body while washing his hair.

"To be honest, it's too dangerous."

"Isn't it dangerous for you to go by yourself?"

Luo Qixi squinted, her fingers deftly tracing Allen's scalp, smoothing out the tangled mess of his hair covered in blood.

Allen sat on the ground with his back to Luo Qixi, looking somewhat helpless. He had fooled her the whole way and thought he had succeeded, but as soon as they separated, Luo Qixi realized what was going on.

Why can't you react when you're with yourself?

strangeness.

"Well, I'm fairly confident in myself."

Luo Qixi, annoyed, started tapping Allen on the head, the sound like hitting a watermelon.

Allen felt guilty for using Loki as a tool, so he obediently accepted it. But he didn't expect Loki to keep hitting him like that. After a few times, he felt like a turtle sticking its head out of a seafood market tank and being knocked back in.

He quickly reached out to block her, but Loki stopped just then, flipping her hand over to continue washing Allen's hair.

The next instant, their fingers became entangled.

Allen was taken aback and subconsciously squeezed it.

"Very soft, smooth, and warm. There's not much flesh on the fingers. It feels like they could break with the slightest pressure."

"No! Wait!? What am I doing?"

Allen suddenly came to his senses and then, through the touch of his hand, realized that Loki's hand had frozen.

He raised his head blankly and looked at Luo Qixi.

Under the cover of night, the floating flames cast flickering light on and off on Luo Qixi's face. She just stared blankly at the fingers that Allen was holding. When she noticed that he looked up, she only glanced at Allen quickly before looking away.

The sound trembled slightly as it was struck by the night wind.

"Next time something like this happens, remember to write to me. I might be able to help. After all, we promised to be adventurers together in the future."

".good."

"If it's a very urgent matter, you should also ask for help from Master Paul. He's superior to all three schools of thought, and it's dangerous for him to act alone. Everyone will be worried about you. You should apologize to them properly when you get back."

".good."

"Your hands are not injured. Are there any injuries to your body that require treatment?"

"Okay, uh? No, no need."

"But I remember you once said that the Twenty-Slash technique would put a lot of strain on the body, right? Did you combine it using your secret technique before? I've seen you practicing it a lot lately."

"I do have some burden, but it's okay."

"So you were lying to me all along?"

"No! But it's really not closed."

"Like a loving mother goddess, please heal this person's wounds and restore their health. Healing spell!"

".Thanks."

"You're welcome. Are you still feeling unwell?"

"I feel absolutely no discomfort."

Luo Qixi had already shifted her gaze back to Allen's face. In the darkness, Luo Qixi lowered her head, while Allen looked up. The two looked at each other without saying another word.

The water flowing over Allen's head had stopped at some point. Perhaps Loki was distracted and unable to maintain the magic, or perhaps this allowed her to better see if Allen had any wounds.

Or perhaps

This way I can see Allen's face better.

But who knows what Loki was thinking? She just looked at Allen with a slightly troubled expression, her deep blue eyes shimmering in the night.

Then she pulled her hand away from Allen's.

Allen then realized that he had subconsciously held Loki's hand throughout the conversation. He looked at his hand in astonishment, his mind blank.

At the age of six, in order to avoid being taken to a brothel by Bei Erzang, he was forced to become the darling of the "older sisters," who would pinch and tease him. At that time, he was as innocent as a three-year-old child.

Loki took a deep breath, turned her back to Allen, and chanted a spell to summon an even larger water sphere. Flames surrounded the water sphere, making a gurgling sound as the water boiled.

"By the way, the air in the forest is really nice at night."

"Oh, yes."

Luo Qixi, with her back to him, pointed to the water balloon.

"Go take a shower, you smell of blood."

".OK."

After Allen finished washing up and then washing the clothes, the extremely inefficient drying process was finally completed by Loki, who kept her face covered and turned her back the whole time. It was already the next morning.

The two walked through the forest and came to the roadside.

"Remember to write letters."

"it is good."

Allen, dressed in wrinkled clothes, waved goodbye to Loki.

Amidst the birdsong, the latter gave Allen a bright smile.

See you in the future.

After hearing what Luo Qixi said, Allen realized that he had left in a hurry yesterday and had already slipped away before Luo Qixi could reply.

He scratched his face awkwardly, watching Luo Qixi walk backwards while waving.

Luo Qixi's lips parted as if she wanted to say something, but at that moment, Allen's dazed waving was reflected in her pupils. She blinked, pursed her lips, and swallowed the words that were about to come out, quietly looking at Allen.

In the end, he didn't say anything more, just smiled faintly, and turned to head towards the city of Rigate.

Allen watched her go until Lokishi's shadow was out of sight, then he looked down at his hands.

The rosy glow from the east draped his hands in a fiery veil, yet even so, he still felt a chill in them.

Maybe it's because it's still a bit cool on a summer morning? But why am I sweating all over?

Was it because it was too hot and humid in the forest last night? But why are only my palms sweating?

Allen thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Because he was in a hurry to get back to the Grellatt's house, he could only make a very superficial judgment and then turned around and started to walk.

That must be because...

The blazing sunset on a summer morning.

It couldn't compare to the warmth of Luo Qixi's palm.

This is easy to determine.
