Jobless Reincarnation: Sword, Magic Hat and Romance System

Chapter 6: As the price of borrowing money. You don't want that either.

Luo Qixi was somewhat surprised.

"Boreas Greirat? You?"

Allen laughed.

"He's a nobleman, didn't expect that?"

Luo Qixi quickly shook her head, as if she had thought of something.

"Are you going to Buena village?"

Allen calmly countered with a question.

"How did you know?"

Loki stared intently at Allen's face, but unfortunately, Rudy and Allen had no resemblance.

Rudy had a delicate and gentle appearance, with his hair falling smoothly down his forehead and sides. The boy in front of him, however, had sharp and piercing eyes, and his dirty hair was disheveled and pulled back on his head, with only a few strands hanging down his sides.

Allen noticed why Loki was staring at him and found it somewhat amusing.

He and Rudy aren't even from the same family; not only do they look different, their genetic makeup is completely different too.

The Notos, represented by Paul, have a penchant for large breasts; while Allen hasn't personally confirmed this, it's been established through various aspects of the novel. As for the Boreas family, represented by Alice, they prefer animal girls... well...

Allen himself can prove it.

Of course, Rudy might not have fully inherited the family's XP because he was a time traveler and his background was impure, as evidenced by the blue mother in front of him.

Uh? Wait a minute, something seems off.

The problem is that Allen himself isn't exactly pure either.

Why is it still controlled by Fu Rui?

this.

While Allen was caught in self-examination, Loki continued to speak.

"To be honest, for the past two years, I have been employed by the household of the knight Paul Greirat in the village of Buena as the tutor of his son, Rudius Greirat."

She paused for a moment.

"So, you're going to join them?"

Allen quickly regained his senses and feigned surprise.

"What a coincidence! To be honest, I got into some trouble in the capital of Asura, so I came here to seek refuge with Uncle Paul, since this place is quite remote. So, if you, Lokishi, are going to the capital of Asura, please be sure not to reveal my whereabouts if anyone asks."

After saying this, Allen put his palms together in a gesture of request.

Luo Qixi breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that Allen's disheveled appearance, after trekking through mountains and rivers, didn't seem like he was seeking refuge, but rather like he was going to seek revenge.

Is it Boreas who caused trouble at home? He's still in the capital, so he must be the son of the Boreas family head. It seems that Philip Boreas Greirat, the mayor of the Roya region of Fituia, only has one child, who is said to be a rather troublesome young lady.

What kind of trouble could have led to this? Allen seems like a composed person who wouldn't cause trouble so easily. Wait, his flirting with girls is so skillful, could it be that he got into some kind of trouble? And as a result, he was chased and driven out of the capital by the girl's family?

Hmm. The men of the Grellatt family are all very lecherous. And it's a family trait of smooth talkers.

Unconventional relationships between men and women are common among the nobility in the capital of Asura. The social customs there are said to be quite unusual; even aphrodisiacs are readily available on the streets. Completely different from Milis...

If something were to happen and become a laughing stock, nobles would generally resort to a form of exile or cold treatment to save face, waiting a year or two until the storm had passed before bringing him back. That's why he didn't have any guards around him.

Allen wasn't sure what Luo Qixi was thinking, but seeing her expression change several times, staring at him with an expression as if he were scum, and finally clapping her hands together with a "deduction complete" look, he could roughly guess her inner thoughts.

To be fair, it's a good thing that Luo Qixi is smart and can fill in the blanks at this time.

Women who can move on their own are generally good women.

Allen meant that this would save him the trouble of explaining it himself.

As for the scum, it doesn't matter.

Being handsome is called being a scumbag, it's okay, because everyone here is a scumbag.

At that moment, Loki generously responded to Allen's request.

"I'm just planning to take a carriage from the capital to travel around the Wanglong Mountains. It seems that only the Asura Kingdom has direct long-distance carriages. So I won't be staying in the Asura Kingdom for long, and I probably won't hear any rumors about you. Don't worry!"

You can't even put a little bit in; you've already imagined Mama Blue.

"Thank you. I was walking through the woods to avoid being seen, so why didn't you take a carriage or something?"

Luo Qixi was taken aback and blinked as she looked at Allen.

Allen raised an eyebrow.

"Don't you have any money? Does Uncle Paul hire child laborers or illegal workers?"

Loki still made her signature face-scratching gesture.

"Mr. Paul has already paid my wages, but unfortunately I still don't have enough money. Travel expenses for long journeys are quite expensive."

Allen's lips twitched.

Even the God of Poverty is a god, it's true. Speaking of which, in the Taiwanese translation, you were called Locke, and your name has "K" in it, so it's not without reason that you're poor.

After saying that, he took out three or four Asura Kingdom coins from the pocket of his swordsman's uniform, including a gold coin.

Then he reached out and handed it to Luo Qixi.

"I still have some money here, as a way to repay your kindness in helping me out of this predicament, and also as hush money. You know that nobles are not short of money, so please accept it and take your carriage."

Luo Qixi didn't answer.

"Why should it cost money to help someone out? And the hush money is way too much. This won't do, will it?"

"Why not?"

"It just won't work."

"It has to be done."

"OK."

"We can't refuse, can we?"

Suddenly standing up, Luo Qixi blushed and quickly snatched the money from Allen's hand, who was about to continue pulling at it, while her eyes looked towards the woods to the side.

"Consider it a loan. To be honest, traveling the world is too expensive. The Kingdom of Asura is alright, but in the continent of Milis, with my appearance, there's basically no opportunity to make money."

My savings have been depleted by studying at magic university, so I'm short of money. Since you're Mr. Paul's relative, you can always ask them about my character!

"so."

Luo Qixi looked up cautiously at Allen.

"You can leave your address, and I promise I'll return it to you."

Allen stared blankly at Loki's flustered expression.

It seems that the gods were truly afraid of poverty. Speaking of which, Loki was ostracized and discriminated against in the continent of Milis, and it's clear that they had no savings. The fact that they could hire her with a monthly salary of two silver coins is a testament to this.

However, this is also due to the fact that the Kingdom of Asura is based on a commodity and small-scale farming economy. In order to protect its citizens, it regularly organizes the extermination of monsters in the surrounding areas, which means there are no legitimate adventurer jobs available. Therefore, she can only take on tutoring jobs to make a living.

Another reason is that... people's prejudice against Loki's hair color has never stopped, even in the Kingdom of Asura, which is far away from the Demon Continent.

Allen's eyes flickered as he watched Luo Qixi's conflicted expression as she held the gold coin, still struggling with whether or not to put it in her pocket.

"No need to pay it back. I happen to have another request that I need your help with, so this will be enough to offset it."

Luo Qixi was taken aback.

The night breeze rustled the leaves.

In the glow of the campfire, a lone man and woman gaze at each other.

"You don't want that as the price of borrowing money."

Allen made a move to get closer to Loki.

The latter stared wide-eyed and leaned back.

The next moment, Allen pointed to his blood-stained clothes.

"Can you smell the stench on me? Please use water magic to wash my swordsman's uniform and my hair. It would be even better if you could dry it. After all, it's my first time meeting Uncle Paul, and it wouldn't do to be covered in blood and smelly. Also, you should soak the meat from the Terminator Boar in water and wash it. I've heard that the meat of this kind of monster is quite good."

A gurgle interrupted Allen's words.

Allen couldn't help but smile as he watched the legal little girl hurriedly clutch her stomach.

"It seems so."

"You agree."
