Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

【after a while】

[Charlie Trevor Villa in the Magical City]

[Nina's Perspective]

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle~~~~"

"Loo~ Luoo~ Luoo~ Luoo~"

Hehehehe~~~

The sound Aisha made after I scratched her chin was so cute!

Ugh......

I wish Aisha were my daughter~

And... that bastard Trevor, he's really rich...

They live in such a beautiful house! Compared to the houses over there, although it doesn't have a yard, the interior area is significantly larger.

And the quality of the renovations is much better. Is this what big cities are like?

How much does a machine used to make sparkling water cost?

There's also that thing called a ceiling fan that keeps spinning overhead, which can blow air into a room during the summer.

I want to live in a house like this someday...

Expecting Kino to earn enough money to buy a house is a bit unrealistic...

If I were to open a luxury clothing store here, how long would it take me to save up enough money to buy such a big house?

wrong......

Opening a shop also requires start-up capital...

What should I do...?

Want to find your dad to get some gold coins?

......

But it's a little embarrassing...

Lutty has already started working to earn her own money, even though she failed. But if I were to keep taking Old Deng's gold coins, it would be a bit... inappropriate.

Um.......

Hey! I've got it!!!

Isn't Lutty the one who got Trevor's gold coins?!

Even though he might not give me that much money, I can still give it a try!

And later, you can imitate Trevor with Kino and go scam people together!

Once I catch a few rich people and amass some start-up capital, I can begin my plan to become the business queen!

Hehehehe~~~

"Sister Nina, stop laughing and give me a strawberry sundae."

"Oh! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I've been so disrespectful to you, Miss~"

"Hmph~"

Aisha and I sat on the sofa in the living room. Her short little legs were propped up on the armrests, her head resting on my hard thighs from recent sword practice, and a lollipop was dangling from her mouth. She moved the candy from left to right, then from right to left, her green eyes lazily squinting—so cute!

"ah--"

The sound she made meant she wanted me to continue feeding her.

I scooped up a spoonful of strawberry sundae and held it to her lips.

She opened her mouth, took the small spoonful of cold cream into her mouth, and then made a satisfied "mmm" sound.

On the table was her personal cup, filled more than halfway with bubbling sparkling water, with a ring of fine water droplets condensing on the cup's sides.

She's living such a happy and fulfilling life...

"Aisha, aren't you worried about your father?"

She raised her eyelids and glanced at me, her gaze as if she were looking at someone who had asked a stupid question.

"Dad is amazing."

"Aren't you sad that he's not home?"

"But he's often not home, I'm used to it... and I have my mom, Jerry, Mambo, and the penguins."

She answered very naturally, but she still seemed somewhat disappointed.

"And there's also this saintess~"

"Huh? Nina, you're already a Sword Saint?"

"Hmm...that's right! He's already a Sword Saint!!!"

Although I don't know how to use the Light Blade yet, my dad says I've already reached the level of a half-step Sword Saint.

A half-step Sword Saint is still a Sword Saint?

Even a half-step Sword Saint is still a Sword Saint!!!

When Kino and I arrived, the mother and daughter were only slightly surprised, and then welcomed us in as usual. Lilia still had that expressionless face, poured us tea, and prepared a strawberry sundae for each of us.

Her methods of caring for children were so skillful that she didn't need to think about it anymore.

It seems this family has truly gotten used to life without that guy.

Although they knew he was very busy and had important things to do, Lilia and Aisha were indeed living quite well here.

I looked at Kino sitting by the window.

"Aren't you going to come and play with Aisha for a while?"

"No."

Instead of squeezing in with us on the sofa, he moved a chair and sat near the door, facing the window.

On the surface, he was looking at the street scene, but every now and then, his gaze would sweep across the doorway and the alleyway outside the window.

His sword was leaning against the chair, his thumb resting on the edge of the guard, as if it could spring away at any moment.

He maintained this posture throughout the entire journey.

Calling him a bodyguard is no exaggeration.

He's different from me. Although he doesn't know how to use the Light Blade yet, he's truly been assessed by my father as having reached the level of a Sword Saint.

I almost broke that jerk's record and became the youngest sword saint.

but......

It seems like he's been acting a little strange since yesterday.

This guy is incredibly skilled at swordsmanship, but he's a real taciturn person in other areas. He always keeps things to himself. If we leave him alone and let him overthink things, he'll only become more and more neurotic...

Let's just ask directly...

"Hey! What are you thinking?"

"I...I was thinking about my older brother."

Why think about him? That guy isn't going to die.

"I want to ask him something in person."

"What is it?"

"..."

This time, Kino didn't answer directly. He glanced at me, then quickly looked back out the window.

Aisha rolled off my lap, lay face down, resting her chin on my knee, and made a face at Qinuo.

Kino still didn't turn around.

Aisha pouted, took the lollipop out of her mouth, looked at it in the sunlight, and then put it back in.

"Don't force me to beat you up in front of Aisha."

"...What I want to ask... is about yesterday."

"yesterday?"

What happened yesterday?

What happened last night when Izaruti and I were doing some chivalrous deeds on the street?

wrong......

He had been acting strangely before that...

That was when Luti and I went around looking for Panpan French mini bread to sell.

That's not right either...

It was even earlier...

"Didn't you recognize them yesterday? The people Lutty was talking about were your older brother and Aisha?"

"No...not this..."

"What exactly is that?"

"Why...did my older brother...reject you before?"

"Huh?"

Doesn't this guy realize what exactly happened back then?

"What else could it be? It's just that I misunderstood that he liked me, and I wanted to humiliate him thoroughly, but it ended up being a misunderstanding, right?"

"No... I mean, what my brother said back then... was deliberately meant to embarrass you... and... he seemed to be deliberately looking at me... why?"
