Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

[Evening at the dinner table]

"Witch sister, Sylphie also wants to go out for a walk with you."

"Huh? Why?" Luo Qixi put down her cup and tilted her head to look at me.

"Maybe it's because they're afraid of being left alone in the village without any friends."

"Shouldn't it be with you or Rudy?"

"Perhaps it's because... the witch sister is more likable than my sworn brothers."

"You're talking nonsense again." Luo Qixi turned her face away, the tips of her ears turning slightly red. I saw it.

At that moment, Paul came over.

"Does Roltz know about this?"

I was having so much fun this afternoon that I didn't pay any attention to that old man...

"I forgot to ask," Wang said after a brief moment of thought, "but I think they'll agree."

Why?

"If Ms. Loki agrees, having a reliable witch sister to accompany me as I grow up would be a good thing no matter how you look at it."

This treatment is something even I envy.

But Paul seemed to read my mind.

"Don't project yourself into this!" He stretched out both hands, pinched my temples from both sides, and started squeezing hard. "That Roltz guy is a total doting father!"

"Then we should agree even more! With the renowned Lokishi as our teacher, such a great opportunity should be cherished." Wang tried to escape Paul's evil fist. "I believe Uncle Roltz is a sensible adult! Unlike you!"

Paul paused for half a second.

"What did you say? Say it again if you dare!"

Upon hearing this, Paul exerted even more force, causing Wang to scream and groan in agony.

"Ah! I'm sorry! I was wrong! Please forgive me!"

"You want to beg for mercy but won't even ask your father? You bastard!"

"Sir Paul! Please be like me—mature!"

The king's screams echoed throughout the house.

Finally, Senis came over, slapped Paul's hand away, and rescued me from his clutches.

"Witch sister, what do you think?" I rubbed my temples and sat up straight again.

Wang stopped paying attention to Paul and started asking the person involved for their thoughts.

"Yes, Sylphie is still a very young child," Senis said gently, sitting down beside her. "And isn't this a bit too much trouble for little Loki?"

Senis tried to empathize with the two of them and began to think.

Luo Qixi didn't reply. She lowered her head, her fingers slowly twirling along the rim of the glass, lost in thought.

I don't know what's so fun about a wooden cup, even though I'm sitting right next to it.

"Um......"

Luo Qixi, for some reason, turned her gaze to me.

"Then what are the thoughts of the mature and reliable Shadow Lord?"

"Huh?"

What does this have to do with me? Why has the ball been kicked back again?

Everyone at the table turned to look at me.

I don't know what that brat Rudy is laughing about.

But now that the ball has been kicked over, the mature and reliable Shadow King naturally cannot kick it back.

Personally, I think it's good for Sylphie to stay with the witch.

"As for safety, you'll have a reliable Water King-level magician with you, and Silphie can also heal without chanting. The two of you combined are invincible!"

Two people with such strong fates would definitely not get into trouble if they didn't court death, right?

"Furthermore, if she stays in the village, after Rudy and I leave, she will be all alone and will have no one to discuss magical issues with, which will limit her progress. Even if she writes letters, the speed of information exchange will be too slow."

Such a talented child shouldn't waste his life staying in the village.

"Since Sylphie wants to improve, adults can't hold a child back, right? Of course, that's assuming the witch agrees."

They should agree, right?

After all, that was their original destiny.

"Sigh..." The witch sighed. "Alright, that's fine too. At least Sylphie should be easier to take care of than you."

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Sylphie is much more sensible than you."

"How could that be? Didn't we get along very well?"

"Are you the only one having fun? You're always thinking only of yourself."

"No...right?"

The king kept reflecting on his behavior. Even if he wasn't that good, he wasn't that bad, was he?

"What happened?" Senis's eyes lit up. "Little Rocky, what did Trevor do?"

The rest of the family turned their curious gazes to Luo Qixi, waiting for her to expose the king's dirty secrets.

Wang was also curious and wanted to know how Luo Qixi viewed him.

Luo Qixi grabbed my ear and started pulling it.

"I also thought about what would happen if I brought Sylphie, and the more I compared the two, the angrier I got!"

"Aaaaaah! It hurts!!!"

"You do absolutely nothing most of the time. You'd rather lie down than sit, and rather sit than stand. I have to do so many chores. You're like a lazy dog!"

It seems that's really the case...

"I'm sorry! I was wrong!"

"It's fine when you're lazy! But when you're not, you just torment people."

"Yes? Is there?"

The moment I asked the question, my ear was pulled even harder.

"That time, Emily!" Loki's voice rose a little. "That night you ran out all by yourself without saying a word. Do you know how worried and scared I was? I don't know what I would have done if something had happened to you!"

"And then—" she took a deep breath, "building houses that kept collapsing, saying embarrassing things in front of everyone, causing explosions everywhere, blowing up hotels countless times? And I actually expected you to stay put and take care of you like a mother hen. And then this trip just ended like that!"

Before Loki could finish speaking, Senis grabbed her other ear.

"You brat!" Senis's voice came from the left. "How could you bully Little Luo!"

"Researching magic... always leads to unexpected accidents..."

Loki and Senis, one on each side, were using traditional methods to try and turn the king into a long-eared race as well.

Paul wasn't going to be outdone—he stretched out both hands and grabbed my face, taking the opportunity to get revenge.

The most despicable one was Rudy, who rebelled at this time! He ran behind my chair, pinned me to the chair with his arms, and scratched my ribs with his hands.

"Ah! Haha! Spare me! I'll never do it again! Aha! Please spare me!!!"

My gaze fell on Lilia—she was still sitting in her seat, only her lips twitching slightly.

Although that disrespectful look in his eyes was still there.

But at this moment, the only one who didn't kick me when I was down was Lilia!

At this point, Senis delivered an important speech.

"Now that you mention it, I realize that Lilia and I have indeed spoiled you too much. You're already seven years old, and you can use magic to wash clothes, cook, and clean, but we've never let you do any housework."

Paul felt like someone who had been wronged and finally seen a just and upright official.

His face couldn't hide his smugness.

Slander! Utter slander!

Isn't taking care of a stupid, bratty younger brother a household chore?

Isn't providing emotional value important?

And Lilia was clearly avoiding me, wasn't she?

If I can do all the housework myself, then what does Lilia do?

Ok?

Yes.

If I had taken Lilia's job early on and she had been fired—would Paul have been able to stop cheating on her?

If we start now...

...It's too late.

Once I've mastered my fighting spirit, I'll be leaving. Besides, if I start doing housework now, wouldn't Lilia, who has nothing to do, have an even better chance of being attacked by Paul?

No!

Absolutely not!

I will absolutely never do housework!!!

It's definitely not because I'm lazy!

This is for your happiness, Senis!

Dinner ended amidst everyone's complaints.
