Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

【after a while】

[Nina's Perspective]

As I reminisced about my childhood, I unconsciously hugged Norren tighter and tighter.

Until little Norren spoke up.....

"I want to...see my dad...I want to ask him..."

"Do you expect things to get better after you see it?"

"I don't know either... Back then, I wasn't even born yet. In my eyes, my dad was always the one who would comfort me, carry me on his back, and go hungry to save money. So... I still love him."

Her voice grew softer and softer...

"I want to hear him admit he was wrong. I'll forgive him as long as he apologizes sincerely. But...!"

But then her voice got louder...

"Is this really a good thing to do? If Mom finds out, will she forgive him?"

My mother used to say that if you do something wrong, you should admit it!

But Trevor's brother's choice doesn't seem wrong either!

So I... really don't know what to do!

I could only give a simple "hmm" and say nothing else.

What can we do...?

Some things are wrong to even ask...

But she probably still likes her dad very much...

I looked down at the whorl of her hair and suddenly wondered, if I were her, if Paul were my father, would I forgive him?

I have no idea......

Because I haven't even completely forgiven my own father...

When my mother and I were kidnapped, I kept thinking he would come, that he could tear apart anyone who dared to stand in our way and rescue my mother and me...

I know...

That's not entirely Dad's fault.

Dad was also very sad. He tried his best, but...

Until my mother died... she was still comforting me... saying that my father would come...

But by the time Dad arrived, it was too late...

My dad is very strong.

Even with his incredible strength, he couldn't save his mother.

I'm actually quite angry with myself, because if I were more capable, I might have been able to protect my mother.

But I was only about 5 years old at the time, so I found an excuse and wasn't so angry with myself.

She shifted all the blame onto her father.

I've held a grudge against him ever since.

Because seeing him reminds me of my mother's face.

We started avoiding each other...

Until that bastard came...

That bastard insulted me in front of a bunch of people, saying that my dad doesn't love me at all, and that I've completely disgraced him.

I was furious, but I couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Because I've really thought about it: maybe he's right. Maybe Dad has long regretted having a daughter like me. That's why he doesn't even want to see me.

The Holy Land of Swords is a place where strength speaks, and he is the strongest child.

I can't beat him, and no one can help me.

All I remember is squatting on the ground and crying out loud, hating him so much I wanted to grind my teeth to dust.

My dad still came eventually.

He looked furious, just like me...

Just like back then...

So I was actually quite happy at the time...

At least he cares about me...

But later, at the beach, when I asked him why he took such good care of Trevor, he confessed to me about Trevor and Aisha, and that it was supposed to be a play that day...

I was furious when I heard that.

I wish I could draw my sword and kill that stinking old man...

But Dad surrendered immediately, saying he'd do whatever he wanted, but we'd have to settle accounts with him for this...

That guy is a real bastard. He clearly didn't know the details, yet he could swear so filthyly. Every word he said landed us, father and daughter, on our most sensitive spots.

My dad said he was born to be either a Water God or a Northern God...

Ugh......

Thinking back, although I was furious when I was told the truth, thankfully my dad still confessed to me.

If he and that bastard Trevor had kept that a secret all along...

When I become smarter and realize it, I'll be even angrier, right?

And at least Dad cares about me, which is why he told me that lie, and that's why he confessed to me later...

It's all Trevor's fault!

It's much easier to just pin all the blame on one person.

but......

That was also the first time I wanted to understand him...

That's why I wanted to go back to the Holy Land of Swords with him the next day, so I could get a closer look at him...

He's actually a pretty good person...

Although we don't get along, he's very reliable when it counts...

I was so scared I could barely hold my sword, but he remained calm and continued fighting. If I were as skilled and reliable as him, things would have turned out very differently...

But that guy is really annoying.

They always keep things to themselves, love to bully others, and never want to suffer any loss.

I hope that one day, I'll make that bastard taste what it's like to be trampled on.

As a result, it hasn't been achieved yet.

He's getting stronger and stronger, so strong that I can't even catch up to his shadow.

But I still want revenge.

But perhaps I'll never be able to repay it in this lifetime.

Ugh......

"Sister Nina?"

Noren called my name softly, and when I came to my senses, it was already dark.

"How about... I take you to find your father?"

"Huh?"

Little Norren was stunned...

I was dumbfounded...

Noren nodded first, then shook his head, and finally said, "It's still not good."

Actually, I also think it's not good.

But I also feel that if I don't go to see her, she won't be able to sleep well every day...

In that case, let's ask the smartest person in the family...

On the way back with her, I kept thinking about why I wanted to do this...

[I'll forgive him as long as he apologizes sincerely...]

I can't forget that sentence...

Because I feel I can't do it...

Although my relationship with my dad is pretty good now, will he really apologize?

I've actually made a lot of excuses for him in my heart, trying to forgive him, but if he starts making excuses, I'll probably get angry instead.

Because I felt that wasn't a sincere apology...

I'd also like to see Paul and Norman...

What will happen to them in the end...?

If they can really make up...

Maybe I can too...

And now that I'm strong enough, I should be able to protect her...

【after a while】

Once I got home, all the mental preparation I had made on the way there vanished instantly.

Because, in the end, I know that I'm not actually that smart.

If Aisha refuses...

Let's just listen to Aisha...

It's just that I love Xia...

She was staring at me and Norren so intently that it was making me uneasy. Was she going to yell at us?

Her insults were just as nasty as Trevor's...

She thought for a very long time, but no one knew what she was thinking about.

She finally spoke.

"Sister Nina, are you and Brother Kino really two sword saints?"

"Eh? Of course it's the Sword Saint!"

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

"But I've never seen you use the Blade of Light!"

"Kino was already a Sword Saint without even using it..."

"Hmm... okay then..."

I go!

Aisha actually agreed!

"but--"

Why is there a "but"...?

"I'm going too!"

"Huh?" X4
