Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

Madwoman Alice was berated by both the Magic King and the Shadow King, and soon after, tears streamed down her face as she cried loudly in grievance...

Alice looks really pitiful...

She looked like a filthy stray dog.

The little brat at most looked a bit travel-worn, but little Alice looked like a homeless person...

What happened?

Aren't they together?

Rudy was at a loss for what to do. He wanted to go up and comfort her, but he didn't move.

I was caught off guard by this unexpected situation, just like everyone else!

cut!

Damn!

How could it have turned out like this?!

What a bunch of troublemakers!

No! Calm down!

The massive relocation could begin at any time, so we need to find a way to get them to a safe place immediately!

Should Alucard simply fly them away?

No... Rudy doesn't know how to use battle aura yet, and he can't withstand the powerful G-force...

Let's knock them unconscious first, then throw them into the Reality Barrier!

Then I used Alucard's body to immediately send them far away!

Correct!

that's it!

However, just as I was about to make my move, my brat seemed to have discovered my intentions and immediately became wary of me.

ha?

What's wrong with this guy?

Can you please stop making things worse?

And why is he here...?

Just thinking about this problem makes me break out in a cold sweat!

"Rudy... why... why did you come back here! How did you know?!"

"I...I..."

Rudy hesitated and didn't answer immediately...

If it was either Shaoluo or Philip who let it slip...

He should be able to say it right away.

But he didn't!

So... is he a god or a human?!

That guy might be looking at me through Rudy's eyes right now!

calm down!

Let's first analyze the purpose of the gods and humans: What do the gods and humans want to do?

Do you want Rudy to come and spy on me, to gather information?

wrong!

We should consider a different approach: What consequences will Rudy's actions have?

After turning his gaze to Alice, who was crying pitifully, the Shadow Lord understood...!

These two little guys probably ran away on their own!

What would parents do if their child suddenly went missing?

Footsteps sounded nearby again...

Who?

I feel sad for Alice's crying...

So who arrived immediately?

"Gilead...?"

"So you two really are here..."

"What... exactly happened?"

"...A few days ago...when everyone woke up, they found that two horses were missing, and Rudius and Alice were also gone..."

Rudy left a letter saying he was going to other camps to build some houses using earth magic.

But something doesn't seem right.

Because the letter didn't mention anything about Alice, and those things wouldn't warrant such a hasty departure in the middle of the night.

Everyone analyzed that Rudy's letter was probably a lie, and that Alice had secretly run away with Rudy.

Then... Philip... told me about you in private...

Judging from the direction they left, they were probably heading this way. I guess Rudy might have heard about you from somewhere and wanted to come find you.

I followed the scent for a long time and found the lost Alice, but I couldn't find Rudy, so we all came along.

what?

"Huh? You've found Alice, why don't you send her back first?"

Before I could even speak, my brat blurted out the question for me, while little Alice, tears streaming down her face, angrily berated Rudy...

"Because I care about you! You bastard!"

"Sorry... I... forgot too..."

Kyrie Io... has he really forgotten...?

Oh well, what's done is done.

"Does Senis know about this?"

"I'm sorry... I didn't know the specifics. I came here as soon as I heard the news."

"..."

calm down!

Philip was a smart man; since he told Gilead in private, he probably wouldn't tell anyone else.

So Senis probably wouldn't know about this, much less come here in person!

Because little Norren is still so young, he needs someone to take care of him...

Senis and Paul would never take Noren to do anything dangerous!

It's unlikely that little Norren would be left alone. The best-case scenario would be for Senis to stay and take care of him, while Paul comes looking for someone else.

This is the reasonable situation!

But......

Paul might beat up Philip, Senis might cry and ask questions, and Philip might accidentally reveal the truth!

Then Senis and Paul might temporarily leave Noren in Hilda's care before coming over together!

Oh shit!

It's all damned—maybe!—it should be!

And who knows, there might even be a god or deity pulling the strings behind the scenes...

calm down!

We can't waste time on uncertainties now; we need to deal with the situation at hand!

"Next I will..."

"don't want!"

That damn brother!

Do you really think I have a good temper?

"Rudy!!! Stop messing around! What good are you doing here except causing trouble?! You're getting out of here today, whether you like it or not!"

"There's something I can do to help!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

I'm too lazy to reason with these brats. I'm going to just beat them all unconscious!

With just one punch to his jaw, he lost the ability to resist due to a concussion and collapsed to the ground, dazed and confused.

But haven't you completely lost consciousness yet?

It must be because I was worried about killing him with one punch, so I used too little force, but it doesn't matter. Next is Alice. After I beat her into incapacitated, I'll just knock them both unconscious.

Kyrie Irvine should be easy to talk to.

So be it.

"Why?... Please... don't do this... please don't send me away..."

[Rudy's Perspective]

A while ago...

I dreamt about a strange guy...

That guy who calls himself a god looks disgusting...

At first, it terrified me. I thought it was like the stories my older brother used to tell me when I was little, that I was being targeted by an evil god...

But that guy told me that the magical disaster about to strike the territory of Fetoa was caused by a time traveler...

What bullshit about time travelers? Isn't that referring to me, both openly and secretly?

I didn't want to believe that suspicious guy, but...

I remembered what my brother had said before: "Just consider this a magical disaster caused by me, so it's naturally my responsibility."

At the time, I only felt that something was wrong with that sentence, but I didn't think about it in detail and continued to take it as his crazy talk.

Thinking about it carefully, my brother did say from a young age that he was a king who came from another world.

And Alucard...

Senis was a devout follower of Milis, and the Land of the Descent of the Gods wasn't too far from Donadi's territory, so we went together to the legendary Land of the Descent of the Gods.

Along the way, Senis and I listened to those stories that sounded like myths.

[Alucard's mere presence in this world was enough to completely evaporate a small island.]

[Alucard came here to find the King of Promises.]

Alucard wiped out countless criminal gangs and donated a large sum of money to the Church of Milis.

[Isn't Alucard supposed to destroy the evil god?]

[Alucard is said to have felt the joy of beautiful things among the weak and vulnerable. Therefore, he pursues joy, wanting to bring happiness to more people. This brings him even greater joy than his original mission.]

But I know that Alucard is actually a fool...

But once they arrived at the land of the gods, no matter how much they disbelieved it, the battle scars, which resembled a natural disaster, were undeniable.

Bro, maybe he really is some kind of king who crossed over from another world...

The aftershocks of its arrival in this world might actually exist, but because my brother's world probably also has something similar to magic, and it was sent there by someone, its scope was controlled.

And now... the magical disaster has occurred in the territory of Fituia, where I've always been...

Perhaps... it really was because of my appearance... I just don't know why it was postponed...

The guy who called himself a god talked a lot of nonsense to me.

It's roughly based on the principles of magical disasters, such as adhering to the principle of equivalent exchange, forcibly converting matter into energy, and the fact that humans are also matter...

Saying those things should make me feel guilty.

Then he told me about methods to reduce magical disasters...

It's roughly about injecting magic when a disaster is triggered, which can shrink the scope of the disaster.

I had more magic power than I could ever use.

At the time, I thought the deity was hinting to me to willingly do these dangerous things...

To be honest, I did have that impulse at first, but I was also scared.

Just as I was hesitating...

The god-man...

[Your so-called older brother is right there now, ready to do this in your place~]

I woke up in a fright after saying that...

I can still remember the damp, stuffy feeling on the bed because of my sweat...

I'm not sure if that guy was lying...

But......

I'm so sad...

That year, I saw too many refugees, barely clothed, numb from hunger, cold, and the death of loved ones, turning into rioters...

My magic tricks, combined with my knowledge, have proven very useful; I've helped many people...

But actually...

Was it because I was a time traveler that I didn't really care about those people before?

I was even a little smug about it before...

Look how amazing I am! How capable I am!

I wanted to take credit from my older brother and prove that I was no less capable than him...

But....

What am I doing?

The culprit behind all this is most likely me. The images of the disaster victims keep appearing before my eyes. What do I have to be proud of?

My brother... is different from me...

...Alucard is an idiot...so many of the things Alucard does...were probably directed by his older brother from behind the scenes?

I know my brother... he always exaggerates and says he's some kind of king... responsible and stuff... He's a very kind person... extremely kind...

So... he really is very likely there.

My heart aches so much I can't breathe...

I still remember what my pillow looked like, soaked with a mixture of tears and sweat...

It's happening again...!

It's always like this...!

And I... I'm hiding away and crying again...

They always hide in a safe place, concealing themselves, while letting the people who care about them and love them make the sacrifices for them!

In my previous life, my parents and older brother were just working hard to support a useless person like me...

But now... is my older brother going to face mortal danger because of me?

What exactly have I grown in...?

Must I live on with a guilty conscience, just like in my previous life?

This way, happiness is impossible...

I really don't want to go on like this anymore!

This is definitely not what I want!

We must at least give it our all!

So I came here no longer to prove anything to anyone!

All I truly want in this life is peace of mind and happiness...

That guy, the Human God, might be lying, or he might not be.

However, it's not a lie; I need to verify it myself.

I want to know if my older brother is here or not. If he's not, that would be best, then I can provide the magic myself.

I will take full responsibility for what I caused!

If he were here...

At least... at least we should face it together...

But......

I couldn't even withstand one of my older brother's attacks; all I could do was lie on the ground, watching his retreating figure, tears streaming down my face, pleading with him...

"Why do you have to do this? Why am I all alone? Please... don't do this... please don't send me away..."

"...There's no reason why...I've already said it, haven't I? The weak always have to submit to the will of the strong..."

"But... that's so selfish..."

"..."

"If you do this... I will never be happy... I will never have peace of mind... I will never forgive you..."

[Trevor's Perspective]

Selfish......

Peace of mind...

And happiness...

Perhaps in other people's eyes, what I did was great and selfless?

But I know...

I knew perfectly well...

I do these things not because I'm selfless, but simply for peace of mind, to be able to lie peacefully in bed every night and drift off to sleep peacefully.

This is true happiness for me.

There are just too many conditions that would put my mind at ease...

For this, I have already done many things that I originally did not want to do...

I've told so many lies I can't even remember them all now, and the number of people I've killed is probably even greater than the number of lies I've told.

I want the people I love to be safe.

I want the people I love to be happy.

Their happiness is my happiness...

I... am a pure lover...

Turning around and seeing Rudy lying on the ground like a dog, tears streaming down his face, I felt so sad...

I know the arrogance and selfishness in my bones, even though I'm the one who understands him the most...

But now...

Should I go against his wishes based on my own wishful thinking?

I don't want to do this...

I don't want to use the name of love to do things that satisfy my selfish desires...

Kyrie Irvine stood there for a long time, while Alice was still crying...

I hate this atmosphere.

Rudy wasn't trying to do anything bad; he was just concerned about me... he just wanted to help...

Moreover, his luck seems to be quite strong, so he should be fine; at most, he might suffer some hardship...

But growing up inevitably involves enduring hardship...

In that case...

What reason do I have to refuse?

"I'm sorry...it was my fault. Since you want to help, please follow my instructions."

As I spoke, I used healing magic on my bratty little brother.

"Yes, I will try my best!"

After the atmosphere eased a bit, Alice stopped secretly shedding tears, and Kyrie Irvine's tail started wagging again.

"I can help too!"

"Shut up!" x2

Little Alice's eyes, which she had just wiped dry, started to shed tears again.

no way......

In the current situation, she's really useless...

No, maybe it's somewhat useful, mainly for setting the mood or something.

The next step is to find a way to get rid of Alice and Kyrie Irvine without revealing their information to the gods and humans.

But just then...

The alarm bells in my head went off like crazy!

Looking up, I discovered that magic in the sky was suddenly gathering in large quantities!

The Great Migration has begun!

"Hold!"

The Shadow Lord used the fastest speed he had ever run in his life to run into the house and take out some equipment he had prepared.

Unfortunately, Rudy's dowry, including the name of the forgotten village hermit, seems to be lost in this lifetime.

Fortunately, the staff that Per gave me is of a quality that is no less than the original, and now it's going to benefit my brat.

As for the shield, I naturally don't need it for defense. The original purpose was to use it as a downhill skateboard if I landed on a high mountain and didn't have much magic.

It's such a pity, because my little brother definitely can't pull off a move as cool as mine.

I also gave him a Durandal to make do with.

As for Alice, I gave her a katana in advance.

I remember that in the original work, Alice used a high-quality cleaver in the early stages, which was obviously not suitable for the Sword God style, right?

Thick, heavy, and incredibly short...

Then Alice took that thing and practiced with it as a light katana for several years...

She managed to swing it at all, which shows she had a lot of power...

Although I initially had some preconceived notions about Old Deng, he's definitely not a complete idiot. I really don't know how he was raised...

Finally, there were the parachutes; we each carried one.

After the items were divided, it was me, Alucard, and my stinky little brother.

The three of us formed a circle, gathering our magical power in advance, ready to unleash it at any moment.

The whole process didn't take much time.

The great sphere of light appeared and enveloped us!

Alucard unleashed the power of the Limitless Technique to its fullest extent, creating a barrier that caused everything outside the barrier to gradually disappear!

The mana consumption of limitless spells is astonishing.

Because the magic power needed to maintain the limitless spell is constantly being absorbed, Alucard needs to replenish it continuously.

Fortunately, Alucard has extremely strong control over his magic and has enough magic power to last until we have used up all our magic.

Before long, Rudy collapsed, unable to hold on any longer, while Alice stayed by his side.

Tch...this brat is such a loser...

but......

Is it really necessary to go to such lengths?

Your hair has turned completely white?

Not only does my magical power far surpass Rudy's, but my maximum output is also far greater. After all, I can open doors, so it didn't take long before I used up all the magical power I had accumulated over the years.

Exhausted, I lay sprawled on the ground, watching as the limitless barrier maintained by Alucard shrank smaller and smaller.

Alucard still has some strength left to protect me.

Finally, the magic was exhausted, and the barrier completely disappeared.

The light surrounded them.

The alarm bells in my mind were ringing wildly, but I truly had no strength left.

I focused my attention and watched as the light just touched Ghirlyn and he vanished instantly, as did the light when it touched Rudy and Alice.

At least, the scope of this magical disaster will be much smaller, right?

But something's not right...?

pain?

What's going on?

Why does it hurt so much when the light touches my hand?

wrong!

Why wasn't I teleported away directly?

The light kept approaching from my hands and legs!

And my body...?

It was decomposed?!
