Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

[Paul's Perspective]

Noren stirred in my arms.

I looked down at her; her eyes were open, she wasn't crying, she was just looking at me.

Lilia was still standing there, while Aisha had broken free and was sitting alone on the stairs, glaring at me and Noren.

Her green eyes were the same as mine and Norren's.

I recognized her at first glance; she's my and Lilia's child...

I will take responsibility...

But just as I was about to speak to confirm, Lilia interrupted me.

Lilia said it was her and Trevor's child, and Aisha calls me "Grandpa"...

What kind of nonsense is this?

so......

[Continue to maintain this lie]

Is this their choice?

Aisha's eyes were filled with disgust for me...

yes......

If I hadn't shown up...

They must be very happy...

So I was too ashamed to let her call me father...

She probably doesn't want me to take responsibility either.

......

So we stopped talking about it, but little Norman isn't that smart...

The things she said to Trevor should have been said to me.

The more she defended me, the more ashamed I felt...

Honestly...

My brain is completely fried...

For the past few days, every day on the way here, I've been filled with worry and fear. I was afraid that little Norren wouldn't make it through this journey. The Crimson Dragon's palate is very cold, and I was afraid she would fall ill, but I don't know any antidote magic...

I'm also afraid that after going through all that trouble to get here, I won't be able to find Trevor and Rudy...

Senis and I knew, of course, that Trevor was not the type to stay home obediently.

After all, he was only seven years old when he first traveled far from home...

We know he's working hard behind the scenes, but he doesn't want everyone to worry, so he always keeps it to himself.

But I still hope that he can stay obediently at the magic university, whether he's doing research or something else, as long as he doesn't go to dangerous places.

Even if he hates me, he'll definitely take action if he finds out Senis is in trouble. After all, he's the kind of person who has a sharp tongue but a soft heart...

I used to worry that he killed Lilia, but Lilia... often sent things home, and occasionally wrote letters to tell us about how to take care of the children and how Trevor was doing.

From the letter, I know that Trevor had not mistreated her...

After we see him and Lilia, we'll leave Noren here and let Lilia take care of him for now. Then we men will go find Senis.

It would be even better if we could see Rudy here.

No matter what difficulties we, father and sons, encounter, we will definitely be able to overcome them!

Because I know that these two kids are really amazing.

but......

I never imagined he could be this amazing...

The Seven Great Powers...

Holy Sword...

That sounds ridiculous.

The legend of the Holy Sword dates back two years...

But if it's him, then everything suddenly makes sense; he's capable of those legendary feats...

But......

I really hope he won't become like the legendary saint and do those dangerous things...

I wish he could be a little more selfish and take better care of himself...

But thinking about it carefully, he's always like this... he doesn't treat himself like a human being...

Although he knows how to enjoy life, sometimes it's more like he's finding joy in hardship...

But I should have known sooner.

From the day he picked up the sword when he was a child, I knew he would go to a very, very far place.

But I never imagined it would be this far.

So far back that I don't even know where he is now, or whether he's alive or dead, I can only guess based on a stone tablet.

He's always like this...

Taking it upon themselves to do what was best for everyone, they secretly arranged everything...

But they don't tell anyone anything...

We've been silent for a long time since Aisha and Noren's argument ended.

Noren didn't say anything, he just gripped my clothes tighter and tighter.

I know she must have been terrified.

I stared at the bubbling water on the coffee table for what seemed like an eternity, but I didn't dare look up at them...

so......

What should I do...?

But at this moment, Aisha spoke first.

She crossed her arms over her chest, and although there were still some tear stains on her face, she looked much stronger than I did.

He looks just like Trevor...

"My dad is... amazing! Incredibly amazing! He's the most amazing person in the world!"

So he will definitely not get into trouble!

When he left, he told me that although he might come back a little later next time, it would only be a long trip at most.

The fact that he hasn't returned yet can only mean that he's been held up by something else; there must be something more important to do elsewhere!

"We just need to stay home obediently and not cause him any trouble!"

What kind of nonsense is this?

"You mean I should do absolutely nothing?!"

I looked up at her, my voice more forceful than I had imagined.

"If you're so capable, then find everyone by yourself! Do you really want to run around with women and children?"

"If he were to—!" I opened my mouth, but the rest of the sentence seemed to get stuck in my throat.

But what I didn't say was picked up by Aisha...

"If he's really that powerful, why didn't he protect everyone?! Is that what you're trying to say?"

Her green eyes were fixed on me, as if she wanted to kill me.

I want to explain something...

But he couldn't utter a single word...

Because what I just said was something I subconsciously wanted to say...

"I......"

"snort!"

I was just being impatient, and I want to say sorry...

But now, even if I open my mouth, I'll say it in a tone that's even more infuriating...

After all, that's the kind of lousy person I am...

"But... Senis and the children are gone, how can I stay here in peace...?"

I am clearly the father...

Why take away even the right to make me take responsibility?

It really is because I'm an idiot...

Even when idiots want to take responsibility, they always end up making things worse...

At this moment, Aisha spoke up again.

"If we really want to find everyone, the most important thing is to gather intelligence, and intelligence takes time to transmit. If Dad suddenly comes back and can't find us, it will only make him worry and waste time—"

That makes some sense...

"But......"

"Shut up! Don't interrupt me!"

I had barely opened my mouth when she angrily interrupted me...

Aisha...

He really looks like Trevor back then...

"Because the magical disaster covered such a large area, there must have been quite a few missing people. Their families must be very anxious. Therefore, we should be able to find a large number of people willing to search for their families together."

It would be even better if there were royalty, nobles, or wealthy people among them.

By uniting and dispersing the gathered people around the world according to the conditions, establishing more small outposts in each place, leaving information while maintaining contact and collecting local intelligence, efficiency can be maximized.

But this is not something women and children who are powerless to protect themselves should do.

As for the other details, if you have plenty of free time, you can figure it out yourself!

she......

He really looks like Trevor...

Just as smart as Trevor, just as sharp-tongued, just as kind-hearted, just as easily heartbroken, but able to recover the fastest...

What she was saying were actually very simple principles.

But because I panicked, I didn't know what to do for a moment...

It's always like this...

They're clearly still children, yet they're making excuses for my immaturity as an adult...

I must change...

We must take responsibility...

The matter of recruiting people and organizing...

That makes perfect sense...

The primary task now is to return to the territory of Fituia.

Although Uncle Shaoluo's side probably doesn't have much money left, they must have plenty of manpower because of the large number of refugees.

And since Philip and Hilda have also gone missing, he must be very anxious and will try to find them.

The next place that would be easier to contact would be the Holy Kingdom of Milis, located in the center of the world.

Senis's hometown is there, and since Senis has disappeared, they might be able to get some money or manpower from them.

On the way there, we can first disperse some of the people and then leave messages at adventurer guilds in various locations...

This is something even a useless guy like me can do...

But is that something children should do...?

Taking Norren around is impractical; she's still a child, and she can't handle long-distance forced marches. It would only slow me down.

So we have to keep her here...

Lilia... can take good care of her...

Aisha seems very sensible...

Even when he was furious, he didn't have any murderous intent; he just wanted to scare Noren.

Therefore, Norren is the best choice here.

But what's going on with that little girl and the young man?

Trevor's friend?

never mind......

This is not important...

[The original outline was from Nina's perspective, but after writing it, it didn't feel quite right.]

The main characters in this chapter are Paul and Aisha, who actually don't get along at all and barely exchange a few words.

[We can only describe their expressions more, but Nina isn't that clever, and she doesn't know so many details. She can't analyze what Paul and Aisha are thinking just from their dialogue and expressions.]

Therefore, it had to be rewritten from Paul's perspective.

[The next chapter is from Noren's perspective. The author actually quite likes little Noren, after all, she's the child with the most normal values ​​in the family.]
