Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

[Trevor's Perspective]

Ugh......

Alucard is currently pretending to use his wondrous powers to heal Old Deng, who is fast asleep on the ground, but in reality, he's using the scroll of the King-level healing technique that he just obtained from Boss Dragon...

It has to be hidden secretly, so no one can see it...

Seriously...

Was Old Deng drinking too much fake alcohol?

How dare he interfere when gods are fighting?

The original plan was for Alucard and Boss Long to have a close-quarters duel, while I would lead the two of them in an attack from a distance. Initially, Boss Long didn't go all out and was suppressed by us.

Because Alucard has a spell with no lower limit for protection, Boss Dragon will be beaten up more badly.

Then, the Dragon Boss was driven to desperation by me and wanted to draw his divine sword to kill me first, but Alucard did his best to stop him.

In the end, Alucard held off the Dragon Boss while the two of them unleashed an Ea spell. At the crucial moment, the Dragon Boss used a pre-prepared anti-summoning spell to retreat.

Before I could even make my move, Old Deng, oblivious to his own mortality, jumped out, attempting to join forces with Alucard in the attack. His speed was astounding; by the time I noticed, it was too late, and he was caught in the blast of my Crimson Emperor Azure Star...

Fortunately, he was only blown away and coughed up some blood before passing out...

If we were any closer, we might not even find any ashes...

Therefore, with tears in my eyes, I unleashed my full power, drew the newly acquired EA, and drove away the evil dragon. Afterwards, I collapsed from exhaustion due to the depletion of my magic power. In the end, Alucard healed me and Old Deng together.

Meanwhile, I secretly used the healing scroll to treat Old Deng's injuries.

It's Nina...

Can you please stop crying?

It's so noisy...

[Some time later, on the way back to the Holy Land of Swords]

I lay on Mambo's horse, feigning exhaustion and weakness.

Mambo carried me on his back and we all went back together.

The atmosphere was rather strange along the way.

Nina didn't say much, she just played with Alucard's hair.

Old Deng is probably ashamed, which is why he's staying silent.

The old woman, for some reason, was still following us.

Where is her daughter?

Couldn't find it?

When I was pretending to be unconscious, I seemed to see someone who looked a lot like Izuru, who hid in the distance for a moment and then disappeared.

Ask the old woman?

Forget it, I'll just ask Nina.

"Little Dragon King, where's your friend? Can't you find him?"

"Found it..."

"So, that savage really was Izuru-te..."

"Yes, she looks so pitiful..."

"So why is that old woman still following us?"

"I don't know either. I wanted to go over and listen to what they were talking about, but my dad stopped me."

"I see. Although I'd like to know as well, it is indeed very impolite to eavesdrop on other people's conversations."

"But I think I saw her grandma stuff a super big wallet into her hand!"

"Huh? Really?"

"Of course it's true! I saw it clearly! This way... she shouldn't have to suffer anymore, right?"

"Um......"

"What's wrong?"

"There are mentally unstable people everywhere..."

"Who's abnormal? What's abnormal about them?"

"Um... let me give you an example."

You have a friend whose family is very influential and she lives in a large villa in the capital. She has no worries about food or clothing and is also very beautiful. Everyone around her likes her.

She then stated that this was not the life she wanted.

So she stole the family's treasure, ran away from home, and went to wander the streets.

I wonder what he's been up to outside.

They probably still feel that their parents and family don't love them or understand them.

She might even meet a boyfriend with blond hair, and believe that blond hair is the only person in the world who can understand her.

It turned out to be just wishful thinking on my part...

In the end, he made himself look like a beggar, a pathetic mess.

I'm too ashamed to even see my acquaintances.

The elders in the family were heartbroken when they saw it, and in the end, it was necessary to collect their gold coins...

Then he said he was going to make a name for himself, otherwise he wouldn't go back or something...

She's practically an alternate world version of Xiangzi!

I wonder if Nina is like...

Kuhehehehe......

Now that you mention it... it seems like it might actually be true...

"Hmm... she's just like the heroine in a melodramatic coming-of-age novel."

"W-what literature?"

"It's nothing. Anyway, you can't read, and don't listen to those ridiculous stories. Your best friend might have been influenced by those stories..."

"Hello!"

The conversation between the Shadow Lord and the Little Dragon King was interrupted by the old woman...

"Stop talking..."

Lying on horseback, I turned my head to look at the old woman's face, and she looked like she wanted to devour me.

snort!

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that most extraordinary people have experienced this kind of scenario.

For example, Senis and Paul...

"Lutty...she's so much smarter than me...she must have her reasons, right?"

Little Dragon Nina is actually trying to help her friend out.

"That's not what I actually meant. What I meant was for you to..."

"Give me what?"

"No, it's nothing..."

Naturally, I should ask her to pay more attention to Old Deng, but I don't need to waste my breath on that.

She cried so much in front of Old Deng back then, it's unlikely she wouldn't care at all after he died...

After this topic was discussed, the atmosphere fell silent again.

How eerie...

"Feed...Jacks..."

"Um?"

"Why do you still wear a mask even though you're already this strong? And why do you still call me by a fake name?"

"This mask is not for my protection, but for those around me. I am strong, but they are not..."

"...Then why did you abandon your family to fight this? You might die, right? What will happen to Aisha if you die...?"

turn out to be......

Is that how it appears to outsiders?

Since I acquired the Limitless Technique, I haven't really considered the possibility of dying myself...

Lilia, she...

They must be terribly worried...

And his master... that must be the reason too...

Ugh......

It's always like this...

I'm so selfish...

"I'm sorry, it's my fault..."

"I didn't expect... you'd actually admit your mistake..."

"..."

"that......"

"What's wrong now?"

"Rutty...she's so pitiful..."

"ha?"
