Jobless Reincarnation: Sword, Magic Hat and Romance System

Chapter 61: The arrogant and pretentious Allen's affair is exposed.

The cold wind chilled Roltz's heart; in that life-or-death moment, a flurry of thoughts raced through his mind.

"This happened so suddenly."

"I don't have Lufi Noda yet."

The serpent's menacing mouth drew ever closer to his face, its fangs almost touching.

Then, it cracked.

In mid-air, to Roltz's horrified and regretful gaze, in a posture that completely ensured death, it instantly shattered into more than ten pieces, scattering from in front of Roltz's face like scraps of food thrown into a kitchen trash can.

At the same time, he felt a gust of wind blow past his face.

A trail of light lingered in the air.

Hot blood gushed from the snake's corpse and splattered onto his face. Only then did gasps of surprise spread like a tide around him.

Roltz had no time to pay attention to the concerned responses of the crowd. He turned to look at the figure that seemed to have suddenly "squeezed out" of thin air beside him.

"Are you alright?!"

I've heard that voice almost every few days for the past six months.

The wind just now did not come from any part of the snow-covered forest in the mountains.

It was simply dragged in by others.

"dad!!"

As Hilfi's frantic shouts drew closer, Roltz glanced at the dead forest snake on the ground, then looked up at Allen, who was standing in front of him with a look of urgency. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

"Thank you. You've been a huge help."

As his adrenaline surged and then subsided, Roltz felt a lingering fear. His legs went weak and he was about to fall, but Allen caught him.

The latter checked Roltz's body from head to toe, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found nothing wrong. At the same time, Sylphie and Rudy had already run over through the snow.

When Hilfi saw the corpse of the forest snake on the ground, she immediately realized what had happened. She pouted and buried her head in Roltz's arms, while at the same time she reached out and grabbed Allen's sleeve tightly.

Roltz, still shaken, gently stroked Silphie's head and whispered words of comfort.

Allen breathed a slight sigh of relief as he watched this scene, and a smile appeared on his face as he looked at the little hand on his sleeve.

"Luckily, we made it in time."

Paul, who was standing nearby, suddenly stepped forward, looking annoyed.

"Are you alright?! I was checking the other side for what was happening, damn it."

"A close call, but no real danger."

Paul breathed a sigh of relief, and looking at the pieces of forest snake on the snowdrift that were practically ready to be cooked, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Your silent katana technique is becoming increasingly refined; your movements are incredibly fast."

"It was just luck."

"What was with your reaction earlier? How come you noticed it faster than I did?"

"I've been keeping a close watch on things. Uncle, didn't you say there was a possibility of magical beasts appearing?"

"You've really thought things through, haven't you?"

Allen stroked Hilfi, who had turned her head and then snuggled into his arms again, and exchanged a helpless smile with Roltz and Rudy, who was scratching his head to the side.

Preparations for the hunt lasted five days, with almost the entire forest completely surrounded, and Allen learned the specific hunting methods:

Divide the area into hunting net zones, throw torches into the forest to awaken some hibernating monsters, and then hunt them down with bows and arrows from behind the nets. This can effectively reduce the number of weak monsters that rely on their excellent reproductive capacity to survive in the forest. As for monsters with levels like the Terminator Boar, they are few in number in the forest, and their black fur is too conspicuous in the snow. If you do encounter one, you can leave early.

No, and there's no need to leave.

Because almost all the wild boars in this forest have been eaten by Chef Ai.

On the surface it seems like a good thing, but in reality, Allen's actions have actually eliminated the natural enemies of the weak monsters in the forest. At least according to Paul and Roltz's estimates, this year's monsters may be 30% more numerous than last year.

Hordes of weak monsters pose a greater danger to the winter crops planted around the village and to the ordinary villagers than powerful individual monsters.

Therefore, the net-making process needs to be more careful.

Five days later, snow began to fall again, and everyone left the forest and returned to their homes.

The day the snow stops will be the day of the encirclement and annihilation.

"Honey! You're back!"

"I miss you so much, Senis~"

Amid Rudy and Allen's simultaneous face-covering expressions, Paul, like a dog running wild, lost all his feigned composure as soon as he got home, rushing to Senis and pressing his face against her stomach.

Senis, who was already used to flirting in front of the children, just smiled at Allen and Rudy, and then gave Paul a flick on the forehead in an annoyed manner.

"You miss me so much, why don't you come back?"

Paul looked up at Senis with a grin.

"The forest is too far away, and it's inconvenient to go back and forth. This year we pushed it in quite deep, and Roltz almost had an accident. I have to stay there and keep an eye on it."

"Alright, time to eat!"

Just then, Lilia brought the food out of the house. She smiled at Rudy and Allen as they returned, and then plated it.

Dinner was a very warm and cozy meal.

Throughout this time, Allen kept glancing back and forth between Paul, who was groping around Senis, and Lilia, who was standing to the side with her eyes downcast, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.

The soundproofing in the Greirat house is not good.

This is especially true for the Water God Style swordsmen who have honed their five senses.

The first night.

Next door, Senis and Paul were flirting, and around midnight, some strange noises started to occur.

Unlike the usual groans, it sounded more like the smacking of lips as someone ate.

In just a short while, Senis seemed to have exhausted herself. She and Paul chatted quietly for a while, and then there was no more noise from next door.

Half an hour later, the sound of a door opening came from next door.

Paul went to the toilet for a long time.

The second night.

The late-night snacking continued as before. This time, Senis seemed to be trying to please her, but she eventually gave up after a short while.

Paul went to the bathroom after Senis fell asleep.

This time, I also took a hot shower.

The third night.

The nights in the village of Bouyena are exceptionally quiet in winter, and the soft rustling of falling snow outside the window can be heard clearly.

The situation next door remains the same.

Moreover, there was the sound of curtains being drawn tonight, which might allow Paul to go out and hunt monsters once the snow stops, letting him release his excess energy.

It snowed for a week.

So things naturally spiraled out of control—starting from the fourth night, when Allen went out to use the bathroom, he found Lilia wrapped in clothes boiling water in the kitchen late at night, and then returning to the house to take a shower.

It's like winter makes a room feel especially cold for someone.

And every night there's the sound of the door opening next door.

Finally, on the seventh night.

After the door next door opened, there was no sound of the male homeowner's footsteps for a long time. After a while, Allen, who was lying on the bed, heard strange noises.

Faint conversations drifted through the wall to Allen's ears. They were so soft and subtle that even Allen, a Saint-level Water God, could barely hear them.

But without a doubt, this was not Senis's ramblings in her sleep.

Allen got up, opened the door, and silently stepped into the hallway.

The sound was detected, originating from the maid's room at the far end of the second floor.

"You've been holding this in for a long time, haven't you?"

"Nonsense, I didn't."

"Oh, really?"

"Oh, yes, no."

"Do you like it?"

"."

A faint thumping sound from the bed frame.

"Ah happy. I like it."
