Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

[Charlie Trevor's Mansion - Late Night]

[Nina's Perspective]

This is a critical moment.

Simply put, it's the kind of moment where you need to get the atmosphere going.

This is also what this saintess excels at!

"Cheers to going to find Dad!"

"Cheers!" X3

"Cheers!" X3

Cheers to going on a long trip!

"Cheers!" X3

Little Norren was the happiest.

Even though she's usually the most timid, she drank a lot of sparkling water today and is now lying on the table, burping and pretending to be drunk.

Her face was flushed, and she was putting on quite a convincing act. Her father must be a drunkard who loves to drink...

Kino's attitude was somewhat perfunctory.

He sat opposite me, his cup empty, staring at the plate of meat for a few seconds before looking down to get his bread.

Can't this guy smile a little more?

However, Aisha and Aunt Lilia were still somewhat distracted.

Even with my best efforts, the atmosphere was still somewhat deserted.

It's all Trevor's fault!

It's all Trevor's fault for buying such a big house and having such a big living room!

The ground floors of all the houses here are shops...

Normally, only one light is turned on at night, around the sofa, and Aisha always sleeps on the sofa in the middle of the night.

It was completely dark around her, and she was all alone there. Didn't she feel creeped out?

Today, all the lights in the house were turned on, making the whole room brightly lit.

The table was piled up in a mess, with all kinds of roasted meat, pickles, toast, soup, and a whole bunch of desserts that Aunt Lilia had prepared at some point.

But if I don't talk, I still feel a little awkward at night.

"Speaking of Aisha..."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Didn't you and Aunt Lilia feel awkward living in such a big house together?"

"Huh? Why are you being so awkward?"

"Well... the night I arrived, when Lilia opened the door, she saw you sitting alone in the chair at that desk over there, with only one light on... Were you bored?"

"Nina, what are you thinking? Why don't you think I'm handsome? That was a carefully arranged scene that I made to ensure that everyone who accidentally wandered in here would see it."

"Um...he's so handsome~"

"Tch~ That's just a perfunctory response..."

This saintly maiden sensibly supported little Aisha, but little Aisha did notice my hesitation, so she was somewhat dissatisfied...

At that time, Aisha was sitting in a chair with her short legs propped up on the table, and to be honest, she looked quite cool.

But when I got closer, I realized she had put a lot of books on the chair so that her short legs could fit on the table.

So, looking back now, all that remains of my first impression of her as a Shadow-level powerhouse is that she's adorable.

"What I mean is, don't you feel lonely when it's just you and Lilia all the time?"

"Alas~ Wild beasts always roam alone, while cattle and sheep travel in herds. Benben Guga is not lonely, but rather aloof."

"Aisha is so cool~"

"Hmm! I've been waiting for this moment for a long time—to utter this golden line from a Shadow-level expert!"

Noren seemed genuinely impressed by Aisha's handsomeness, and was earnestly supporting her.

Aisha responded to Norren very seriously.

However, I have remembered these words and will definitely find an opportunity to say them later.

"It's not that boring, actually. I don't understand why some people always want to be in crowds. It's actually quite comfortable to be alone, since there are so many things to do."

"What's wrong?"

"Sigh... This is a kind of fun that you, Nina who can't read, can't understand."

".......So that's what studying is all about... What's so great about studying... Besides, even if this saintess can't read, my old man can."

"That's why I'm worried about you and Norren leaving... You two are so naive, what if you get scammed..."

Aisha slowly lifted her cup, then sat back down in the chair in front of her desk, picked up a pen and paper, and began to write.

"Hey, can you put the letter down first? Today is a banquet."

"That's precisely why I'm writing this letter before I leave."

"Oh..." That seems to make sense. "Who is it written for?"

"Your father, surely Uncle Gar can't be completely unaware of where we're going?"

"puff--!"

All right......

This saintess had really forgotten about that...

Listening to the scratching sound of her pen tip swishing across the paper, I felt somewhat annoyed.

She spoke and wrote as she went, saying she would write letters to Uncle Gar along the way.

They also said that this way Uncle Gar wouldn't worry, and he could come to our rescue if anything happened.

Gee...

Upon hearing this, I unconsciously bit my fork...

"Do you think Kino and I can't protect you?"

She finally looked up at me, and the way she looked at me was inexplicably the same as Trevor's.

They really learned bad habits from Trevor!

Fortunately, Aisha Bitreaver was much more polite and explained slowly and methodically...

"This shows maturity; it's about not letting those who care about us worry."

Moreover, this is also a safety redundancy. With two sword saints like you walking on the street, small fry will definitely not be a problem. As for powerful people, as long as they know your identity and that Uncle Gal knows your whereabouts, they should not dare to make a move. That's why I wrote this letter.

Unless... you encounter a suicidal idiot...

Ugh......

It's all Trevor's fault...

"What's the point of being so smart... You're not as cute as you used to be..."

"rua~ I can be cute forever~"

Fine.

She's quite cute when she deliberately acts cute.

But isn't this a bit too scheming?

Did she manipulate me like this before?

I don't know why, but the more I think about it, the scarier it gets...

At that moment, Aunt Lilia suddenly spoke up.

"Do you really have to leave? Aisha... why are you planning to do this...?"

"I......"

yes......

Even if Aisha prepares a lot of things, staying here is the safest place...

Aisha is so smart, she must have been worried about more than just Noren and me, which is why she planned to come along...

Aisha remained silent for a long time, and no one knew what she was thinking...

"Mom, aren't you worried about Dad?"

"Of course I'm worried about him... I'm very worried about him..."

"Even if..." Aisha started to say, then fell silent for a long time, "even if they're not real family..."

Lilia's aunt answered without hesitation...

"My relationship with him was awkward, but... we were truly family."

"Then why... Mom, can you continue doing what you were doing before...?"

"Because I'm also your mother, he definitely sees you as the most important person in his life, just like me, and your safety is the most important thing..."

"Um... thank you, Mom..."

After a while, Aisha sat in her chair and spun around, looking at the world map hanging on the wall.

He then pulled out a pointer from somewhere and pointed at the map, intending to start explaining something.

[I'm too tired tonight, so only one chapter.]

A day off is more tiring than a day of work.
