Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

[Rudius's Perspective]

Ah? ? ?

Fly? Airplane? ??

Is this reasonable?

Are there time travelers in this world?

"Rudius! You fly up and catch up! Then use magic to knock that monster down! But don't kill it! Let Rijrud and me go up and beat it up! Once we've subdued it, we can ride it home faster!"

As Alice enthusiastically explained her plan, she jumped off my small flying carpet made of dragon skin, while Rijrud was already itching to make his move.

Why is she so smart today?

But isn't this a bad idea?

If the enemy is too weak, and the plane crashes, they might die...

If the other side is very strong, they might become our enemy immediately...

Seeing that I didn't move, Alice immediately started hitting me with her fists and feet...

"What are you standing there for?! Hurry up! Or he'll fly away!"

"Alice, calm down! Let me think about this!"

After offering some simple reassurance to Alice, I still didn't take any action.

Therefore, it's best not to easily make enemies with them, after all, we're still being hunted by the Demon King's army...

If we were to fight and cause a commotion, it might get us into some trouble.

Moreover, with my dragon skin cloak and a small flying carpet modified with gravity magic, I'm not actually that slow when traveling.

Therefore, it's best not to take the risk.

Most importantly, because this flying carpet is so small, I can sit in Alice's lap...

Hehehehe~~~

Just as I was lost in my daydream, Alice frowned as she looked at the shrinking black dot on the horizon, and couldn't help but punch me...

"It's all your fault! You made him run away!!!"

Ugh......

Alice is angry again, and Ridge Rudd is looking at me with suspicion. I should find an excuse to make amends.

But just as I was thinking of what excuse to use, some strange noises suddenly appeared on the beach!

Rachel Luther gripped his rifle warily and stared intently at the shoreline.

What appears in the seawater?

It's a terrifying green-haired water ghost!!!

That guy looked terrifying. His hair was plastered to his body, he was filthy, and water was dripping from his body as he walked towards us step by step!

Even Rijerud, an absolute powerhouse with Emperor-level strength, rarely showed a solemn expression!

What could make Rachel Rudd so nervous...?

This guy... is definitely very strong...

It's also very dangerous!!!

As we drew closer, Rijkaard made his move immediately!

However, Rijerud's spear, which could easily kill high-level monsters, did not harm the opponent in the slightest after they clashed!

Do not......

It couldn't even be considered a fight...

After all, the other party stood still, without moving an inch, and was simply attacked by Rijkaard...

Unfortunately, according to Rijrud, his own spear had been stolen, and what he had now was just a weapon he made himself using materials from monsters...

So, is it up to me now?

As long as you can stay in the air and gain a high-altitude advantage, you can defend with shields while dealing magical damage...

But just then, the other party spoke...

"Rudius? And Alice? Why are you both in the Kingdom of Shilon?"

"Huh?" X3

Is this guy... someone I know?

Only after the other person brushed aside their hair that was hanging loose in front of them did I finally recognize them...

"You are... Alucard?"

What happened?

Shouldn't he be with his older brother?

Why are you in such a sorry state?

"Yes, it's me. So why are you in the Kingdom of Xilong?"

Huh? The Kingdom of Xilong?

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is the Demon Continent!"

But as soon as I said it, the other person's expression instantly became terrifying!

"What...did you say?!"

【after a while】

"You mean, my brother has become a demon king?"

"Well, I guess so."

What does "consider it" mean?

Am I still half asleep?

"And the Demon King's army that's been chasing us was actually sent by our elder brother to find us?"

"That's right, we spent a lot of time and effort, but we always missed each other."

It's all that damned god's fault!!!

If it weren't for him, I would have already reunited with my older brother!

"And then you said Noren! Lilia! Senis! Lokishi! were all affected by the magical disaster?!"

"Yes, they were all affected."

But... who are Aisha, Nina, and Kino?

Is he my brother's friend?

"Then your elder brother sent you to the Kingdom of Xilong, and you ended up going in circles and coming back?!"

After asking that question, Alucard gritted his teeth and turned his face away, looking quite ashamed and angry...

After hesitating for a long time, he finally managed to stammer, "I'm sorry... I got lost... It's my fault..."

"How did we get lost?"

"I... initially followed the directions Trevor and Chisirica gave me at full speed, but... I ran out of magic along the way... and then... I fell into the sea. When I surfaced again, I could only swim and recover my magic, relying on my vague memories..."

"And then... you met us?"

"We also encountered some troublesome monsters in the sea earlier..."

That's not what I meant at all!

Is this guy... an idiot?

"You recover mana very quickly, right? Why... don't you fly a little slower? If your mana recovery rate is about the same as your consumption rate, you can fly for longer, right?"

"But... Trevor's orders are for me to do whatever it takes..."

Kono baja!

This guy is such an idiot!!!

Alice listened in stunned silence.

Rachel Rudd's expression was somewhat subtle.

I really want to curse, but I don't know how to express how outrageous this is.

And this guy looked so pitiful, like he'd really been hurt...

"I'm sorry... is there... any way to get to the Kingdom of Xilong?"

hateful!!!

I'm so angry!!!

Isn't this a very simple thing?

I said this while rubbing my temples.

"Just fly along the coastline of the Lingus Sea, and ask for directions from time to time, and you'll reach the Kingdom of Xilong..."

Alucard nodded solemnly.

His expression hardened again...

"I'll remember that!"

After saying that, it immediately flew away along the coastline...

but......

We watched the direction he flew away, and remained silent for a very long time...

I looked at Rachel Rudd, and Rachel Rudd looked at me. We stared at each other for a while.

Finally, Alice spoke those words for me.

"Rudius? He flew the wrong way."

"Hmm...yes...the direction is wrong..."

We were almost at Winn Harbor, and then we could leave the Demon Continent, but he...

never mind......

Anyway, the Sea of ​​Lingus is a circle...

As long as he keeps moving forward...

It should be possible to get there, right?

At most, it just meant taking a slightly longer route...

But......

Will he really not keep getting lost?

It's hard to say...
