Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

【after a while】

Senis took little Noren to wash up, while Rudy and I stayed in the kitchen. Rudy was in charge of making dinner, while I was in charge of making up for little Noren's cake.

As for Paul?

He's kneeling on a washboard outside...

His original plan seemed to be to trick Noren into helping clean the chimney, and then he would rush back before Senis came home, clean Noren up, and then bribe little Noren with a cake.

The reason given was that he met Santa Claus on the road and asked Paul to bring a gift to his good boy Noren.

Unfortunately, his plan backfired. Not only did he encounter other problems on his way back, but he was also caught red-handed by Rudy and me...

As for the consequences...

Seeing Norren looking as dirty as if he'd been working in a coal mine, Senis, unusually, lost her temper. But Paul, unfortunately, was caught in the crossfire of Norren's actions...

Not only was he forgiven by the person involved, but he was also punished by them...

Ugh......

Do daughters always side with their fathers?

And this family is really...

I don't know if it's a problem with the Middle Ages, or with Paul and Senis.

These parents are incredibly thick-skinned...

I can roughly understand why little Norren developed his intelligence so early.

Although she wasn't very bright, if she hadn't developed her intelligence earlier, who knows how she would have survived in the hands of these amazing parents...

Ugh......

The Shadow Lord sighed again...

It's all due to the misfortunes of their families of origin...

I actually understand this quite well, and I even empathize with it a bit, since before I met Lilia when I was a child, I basically struggled to survive under these parents.

Thinking about it carefully, this family really did rely entirely on Lilia for support before...

Unfortunately, Lilia was taken away by me...

Now that things have come to this, I, the greatest contributor to this family, should naturally take good care of my younger sister, who has also suffered because of our unreliable parents.

So I am making her an even bigger strawberry cake.

Actually, making a cake was just a matter of repairing the cake that I had accidentally broken before, and also processing the strawberries that Senis brought back.

Strawberry cake is simply cream and cake base. The cake base inside the cake that was accidentally broken before is still usable, but the cream on the outside was accidentally broken, so what I need to do now is make some new cream.

The modern method of making cream usually involves separating milk into skim milk and cream using centrifugal force, which requires specialized equipment or complex magic.

But that's the mindset of the weak.

Secretly drop the milk into the Reality Marble and then use the Reality Marble to separate it.

Then, add sugar to the obtained whipped cream and whip it to get the fresh cream needed to make the cake.

After placing the cake base on the magically created turntable, I, with a joyful expression, immersed myself in my artistic work and began assembling the cake...

Then......

I don't know when, but suddenly someone hugged me from behind...

Her arms were around my chest, her chin rested on my shoulder, her head was close to mine, and we watched the cake being assembled together.

"...You've grown taller..."

"Hmm... because I've been eating well and exercising regularly..."

"...Is Lilia's cooking to your liking...?"

"How could that be?... Her cooking is delicious, and she takes very good care of me. She went to great lengths to prepare for my birthday..."

"Yes, Lilia's cooking skills are actually better than mine..."

"But what I really want to eat is your cooking..."

"...That's good...But why...don't you write home? You sent so many things home, and Paul and I read through all those textbooks you wrote for Norman, page by page. You wrote so much, why didn't you write anything for us..."

"..."

I don't know how to start...

Even if I told you, it would be a lie...

There are many excuses...

For example, Sword Sanctuary is boring, and there's not much to write about...

But those weren't even really reasons...

I really don't want to lie to Senis...

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

"Yes, it's your fault, because you made me worry..."

"I'm sorry... I won't do it again..."

"...Hmm...that's good..."

"..."

"Your skills have improved too; this cake looks beautiful..."

Senis, who was leaning against my shoulder, kissed my cheek, then changed the subject to something lighter, and casually wiped away the urine that had accidentally seeped into my eyes with her fingers...

"Yeah. I practiced making cakes over there so many times."

"Oh? Is it for a girl you like?"

"How could that be?"

It was actually made for a girl he liked, but that's definitely not what Senis meant.

After stopping what he was doing, I placed my hand on my chest, took Senis's hand in mine, and began to rub it...

Her hands weren't as soft as before... you could still feel some calluses...

"You know who I like... I'm a pure lover, and everyone over there is a bunch of idiots, it makes me so angry..."

"Then you'll have to step up your game! Rudy's progress is much faster than yours!"

"Mom~!"

How dare that brat cooking on the other side interrupt the atmosphere here?

It's really time to loosen up the skin!

Besides, it's too early for kids to be dating.

They're both still too young to understand anything; at most, it's just some inexplicable attraction...

For some reason, I suddenly thought of Nina and Kino again...

That's disgusting...

"Hmph! I'm not in a hurry. I'll at least wait until I'm older, won't I?"

"Grown up? It feels like you've grown up in the blink of an eye. Time flies. When you were just a tiny little thing, I could pick you up so easily, but it feels like it hasn't been that long..."

"Yes...time really flies..."

Afterwards, I chatted casually with Senis about the extraordinary people and events I encountered in the Holy Land of Swords.

For example, that mysterious, perverted duo, who frantically complained to Senis about how such people could exist.

result......

The little brat couldn't hold back anymore...

How dare you interrupt me again!

"Brother...? You sent someone to spy on me? Gilead or Philip?"

"Have you forgotten my orders?"

"...Meow~"

"Hmm, that makes sense, that's right! I did indeed send people to monitor you! I also know you were secretly..."

"Brother! I was wrong! I was really wrong! Please, please forgive me! Meow! Meow meow meow meow!!!"

I was just bluffing my little brother, but who would have thought...

He still kept bending down like that...

[After a short period of time]

Little Noren is quite easy to coax. I only gave her the lollipop I always carry with me, and she accepted the astonishing news that her entire family had died and then been resurrected.

Now she was filled with joy and excitement over the large cake in front of her, staring at it intently for a long time.

Until dinner is completely ready.

It was completely dark when Senis finally let Paul in from outside.

At the table, we began the Milis pre-meal prayer once again.

Ugh......

I had prepared a whole bunch of reasons, hoping to persuade Senis to move by a combination of coaxing and deception...

But for some reason, they just wouldn't reveal the truth about the magical disaster...

However, I really don't want to lie to Senis anymore...

Even now...

Just say it properly...
