Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

Chapter 138 Children are the best liars

The brat immediately stood at attention after being scolded by me.

No, to be precise, he should be kneeling obediently before me.

But he still looked defiant.

"Tell me! Why don't you want to go!"

First, you have to lie to your mother, and then you lie to the cat~

I'll just not expose you, meow~

And rather than wasting my time being Miss Alice's study companion, I'd much rather go help out at Donadi's!

In your previous story, wasn't Emily also a child who became a local official, meow?

I'm sure I can do even better if I go, meow~

Or do you, my dear brother, think I'm a useless cat?

I also know some simple magic tricks, which will come in handy when we build houses to house everyone~

If I achieve something great by then, please, my dear brother, bestow upon me the title of Magic King, meow~

"..."

My sister Us's words are like an old sow wearing a bra, one thing after another...

After saying that, she turned her face away arrogantly...

Really...

Nausea......

......

never mind......

What she said does make some sense...

I remember that in her previous life, she must have stayed at home and read a lot of novels.

I don't know if the Japanese online novels are popular for things like infrastructure building and farming, but as a modern person, I can't possibly embarrass a time traveler, right?

She should be able to play a greater role under Donady's leadership, and it will also save me the time of sending her to school.

This doesn't seem so bad...

"Hmph! Do as you please. You can explain it to everyone yourself tomorrow morning."

"Okay, meow~"

Ugh......

Wang Xin sighed wearily, then asked: Why do plans always fail to keep up with changes?

Meanwhile, on the other side, Us had already started chatting with Alucard, who had finished eating the grass.

"That's right. In the beginning, the original King of Elden, Griffre, wielded a huge battle axe and carried the divine beast Seroch on his back. He wanted to pay homage to the great Elden Ring again, so he fought against the Faded Ones. But after only a few rounds, he was beaten to his knees by the Faded Ones."

Then, Gofrey, in a fit of rage, killed his Lion Prime Minister and then took off his shirt.

He claims to have abandoned red tape and is determined to fight to the death against those who have faded away.

Can the Faded One defeat the First King?

The answer is...

Ugh......

I wonder when she time-traveled...

Even Enki didn't recognize him, so it must have been before 2015. And there were plenty of great games to play after 2015.

My sister Us really didn't arrive at the right time when she traveled through time...

But on the bright side...

At least my eyes weren't ruined by the later political correctness games...

Ugh......

Don't blame me for sighing all the time, because I'm really tired.

"I'm going back to sleep now. After you finish talking with Alucard, remember to take Cavallaccio back with you..."

Without waiting for my brother's reply, I took off and floated towards home.

When the Shadow King arrived at his house, he vaguely heard something being touched coming from the living room.

What is that?

The Lord of Shadows has, for some reason, disappeared into the shadows...

Perhaps it's a case of "once bitten, twice shy," the Shadow King was worried about seeing something he shouldn't have, which would make everyone feel awkward.

In short, Wang began to develop his incomplete sense of [sensory perception].

After losing Alucard, the Shadow King naturally could no longer directly use [Reverse Sensation], but as time went by, the King was still gradually improving the effect of the [Sensation] he was practicing.

That's how the so-called martial arts method works. You learn it by practicing in reverse first, and then you can progress very quickly by practicing it in the normal way.

Although it's not quite fully developed yet, it can at least get a feel for what's inside the house.

And that thing...

The little thing hidden behind the sofa...

Is it Noren?

After pinpointing the location, the Shadow Lord peered out the window, trying to see what she was up to.

I saw her crouching behind the sofa, with a small blanket spread on the floor beneath her. There were probably some snacks on the blanket. She was hiding in her little hideout, staring intently in the direction of the fireplace...

Um......

This silly kid doesn't actually believe that Santa Claus exists, does he?

Ugh......

There's really nothing I can do...

To protect the children's dreams, the gentle Shadow King transformed and pushed open the door!

Actually, he just put on the golden wig of the Flash Sword Saint's helmet again, and incidentally put on that red uniform again.

But now I am Christmas brother!

"Hey! Little one? Were you waiting here for me to bring you a present?"

"Are you really... Santa Claus?"

"No, I'm Santa Claus. Santa Claus doesn't work until winter. It's summer now."

"Then why did you come?"

"Because Santa Claus told me that there was a good child waiting here, so I came."

As he spoke, the Shadow Lord pulled a diamond necklace from his pocket. It was originally a failed attempt prepared for Senis, but he hadn't thrown it away before and planned to give it to Lilia later.

Don't blame me for fooling you, because I already gave out all the gifts I brought for Noren a long time ago.

However, gifts are not about their value to children, and little Noren seemed quite happy to receive them.

"Wow, that's great... But... could you come with me to see the other people?"

"Hmm? I'm afraid that won't work, because only children can see Santa Claus. It's a child's privilege, and they won't be able to see him when they grow up."

"But...I want everyone to know that Dad didn't lie..."

"..."

Ugh......

Stinky Paul...

I really want to kill you...

"Actually... we Santa Clauses don't come in through the chimney anymore, that's the old almanac... these days we mostly rely on delivery services to send them directly."

"So, is Dad... really a liar?"

As little Norren spoke, tears welled up in his eyes...

Wow!

Lord of Shadows, think! Use your clever brain to think!

"Hmm... perhaps Mr. Paul is unaware of this?"

"But why wouldn't Dad know? Is he a bad boy?"

He's absolutely wicked!

"...That's right...He was a rotten bastard when he was a child...So he will never see us. Anything he does in our name to make you do is a lie."

"...Why is it like this...?"

Just then, sounds came from the courtyard; it must be Rudi and Alucard returning.

"Anyway... don't do those dangerous things anymore, understand? Got it?"

"Um......"
