Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

[Nighttime in the Study]

"Witch, you've truly caused me great suffering..."

"Really? I haven't even told you about the sexual harassment you did."

"Really? No way? Don't joke around..."

"Oh, so it's just childish nonsense."

"...No, uh...no...I, I'm serious."

The words had barely left his mouth when the witch slammed a heavy book down on the king's head.

Wang rubbed his head.

"Please don't do that, it'll make you stupid..."

"You're the one! Don't talk nonsense, you little brat."

"I told you, I'm serious. Fine, if you hate me, then..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was shot in the head again.

That's not what I meant. I don't dislike you!

"What does that mean?"

"It's fun playing around with you, but you have to understand, I'm almost forty years old. I only look young because of our race. I'm much older than Mrs. Beinese. She could be your mother."

"Yeah, I know about that."

"You know nothing! I mean, are you a pervert, or do you think I'm a pervert?"

"Age is nothing. Anyway, you'll never grow up, witch. There's an old saying that a man is a boy until he dies, so it doesn't matter to me."

"What kind of bullshit old saying is that? I've never heard of it before! If it's a confession, I'm rejecting you! You precocious brat, you're heartbroken now!"

"Ouch!!! It hurts! It hurts so much!"

Wang suddenly clutched his chest and grimaced.

However, the performance was too exaggerated and failed to fool the witch.

Suddenly, the king, who was now free of trouble, looked at the witch again.

Do you think I would do that?

The witch was so angry she laughed.

Wang, having sat down again, once more adopted a shameless and persistent demeanor.

"I never formally confessed my feelings. Those casual confessions don't count, so your rejection doesn't count either."

Wang sat in a chair, resting his chin on one hand.

Let's take a step back first...

"Besides, I'm too busy to waste time on things like puppy love."

Luo Qixi seemed to have finally heard what she wanted to hear, and sighed.

"Sigh...aren't you being very sensible? Confessing your feelings can wait until you're older."

"But—on the other hand, I'm serious, but I'll wait until the important things are done and I've grown up enough to confess in a more romantic and cooler way."

Luo Qixi, for some unknown reason, once again used the power of knowledge to deliver a devastating blow to the king's head.

"If you continue acting like this, you'll only embarrass others and you'll definitely stay single for life!"

Then, as if she had imagined what it would look like, she lay on the table, covering her mouth with one hand to try not to laugh too loudly.

Indeed, it seems that all I know how to do besides cheesy pickup lines is to go straight to the point...

"That's really hurtful," Wang sighed sadly. "Anyway, let's leave the topic of romance for the future. Now let's get down to business."

After laughing for a while, Luo Qixi slowly climbed up from the table and then put on a reliable look again.

"Hmm, Silphie? As long as her family agrees, I have no problem bringing her along."

"On the contrary, it will definitely be easier for her than taking you with me. I will take good care of her."

"Of course I know the witch's abilities. But my requirements are also very high. You not only need to study magic, hone your magical power and practice combat, but also train your bodies. You need to eat well, drink well, and dress well. When you leave, go directly to Philip for your share of the money."

"Hey! You, are you planning to buy me with money? The love this witch craves can't be bought with money! And since you're already so rich, why are you hiding it from everyone?"

This is pure slander again!!!

"Nonsense! I am a warrior of pure love! How could I possibly use money to insult beautiful love!"

But the witch's eyes were still full of suspicion.

There's nothing we can do; this is another world with an even worse social atmosphere.

"Money isn't just for you to use. Besides, you know that money means nothing to me. I just don't want my witch and my lovely sister to waste their time and energy doing those so-called adventurer jobs that are actually temporary work just to save money."

"...It's not all of them like part-time jobs."

"I know. But if you have money, you can do whatever you want, like a true adventurer, instead of an unemployed bum who doesn't know where his next meal will come from."

"...You really do think of everything."

"And have you forgotten? I told you to take good care of Sylphie. Not just make do with her."

The witch sister wanted to teach her not only knowledge, but also to cultivate a healthy body and a strong heart. She wouldn't feel inferior because of her hair or poverty, nor would she be bullied for being gentle. Her kindness and gentleness were precious; I don't want her to become a pushover, but I also don't want her to lose that kindness.

"...Wow, isn't that too perfect? ​​I suddenly feel a lot of pressure..."

"That's why we need the witch sister. This is something only you can do, and that's what I believe."

"You... think so highly of me?"

"That's right, in my eyes, you are exactly that kind of person, witch."

Sigh, it's just that other people can't be relied on...

Thinking back on the other people I know, it's simply indescribable...

Just as Wang was reflecting on why everyone he knew was so... skilled, Luo Qixi hit him on the head with a book again.

"Why? What have I done to you now?"

When Wang looked up again, he saw Luo Qixi blushing.

"You're sexually harassing me again..."

The witch still cares about me, as expected, and doesn't hold it against me.

I am delighted!

"There's one more thing."

As Wang spoke, he took out two boxes.

"These are gems I made. Please deliver them to Philip later. This is our deal."

When Luo Qixi opened the box, she saw various large, exaggerated rough diamonds, and even some colored diamonds.

Luo Qixi was so shocked that her pupils shrank and her mouth gaped open, leaving her speechless for a moment.

"Why is making money so easy for you?"

"It's just a bunch of carbon elements, a completely worthless thing."

"Can I pick one?"

Ok?

The chance to act like a domineering CEO has arrived!

"One? Are you kidding me? If word gets out, people will think I can't afford to give one!"

"No, no, no! That's not what I meant!"

"This whole box is yours; you can use it however you like."

"No, no! I'll just pick one and make it into a necklace."

"Excellent! Consider it a gift from me to you!"

Is it really that great to be a domineering CEO?

Will I become addicted?

I started to recall the melodramatic CEO romance plot from my previous life.

However, Luo Qixi's expression changed from happy to disgusted.

Oh no! My facial expression control failed me...

Wang tried to put on a poker face and turned his head away, not wanting to speak for the time being, so he decided to let his actions speak for themselves. He then pushed the box containing the diamonds over.

Luo Qixi squinted at the king for a while, while the king pretended to look around at the scenery.

Only after hearing a few scattered sounds did Wang turn his gaze back to Luo Qixi.

Then they discovered that Loki had chosen a purple diamond.

"No!"

"Hey!" Luo Qixi was startled by Wang's sudden outburst. "What are you doing?!"

The king took the purple diamond and then threw it away.

"Anything but purple will do..."

Why?

"Unlucky..."

Luo Qixi started staring at me again.

Wang Yiran couldn't say a word.

After a while of this stalemate, Luo Qixi finally broke the silence.

"Never mind. You choose for me."

"Then let's go with the blue one."

"I was originally going to choose blue too."

"Yes, blue suits you very well."

"Why is purple considered unlucky?"

"..."

You can't exactly say that you contracted the Magic Stone Disease because of some ridiculous reason like sneaking to eat leftovers in the middle of the night, and ended up turning into some kind of purple crystal... and then dying, right?

"Please, don't ask, please..."

"You're such a good boy!"

As she spoke, Luo Qixi once again used books to forcefully instill knowledge into the king's brain.

The king and the witch then organized the data on magical research and discussed the future teaching plan for Sylphie.

It was already late at night when the plan was finalized, and the king and the witch started chatting again.

"Oh, right. You still haven't answered me: you clearly made a lot of money, so why did you keep it a secret from everyone? You can answer that now."

I leaned on the table, gesturing for the witch to come closer, and then we began to whisper.

"Do you know what? If Paul hadn't run away from home and recklessly courted death, he would have inherited the position of the head of a wealthy noble family long ago! Not some minor noble family like Emily's in the frontier, but the Grellat family of the kingdom, a very famous and old noble family."

Luo Qixi took a deep breath, and as expected, she had startled the little witch.

"Huh? Really? That's amazing! I thought the surname was just a coincidence."

The king gestured for the witch to be quiet again, then moved closer to her.

"How could it be fake? That Philip is Paul's cousin."

This time, the witch recovered from her shock.

"I see. That explains why Philip seemed so nice to you before." Loki seemed to finally understand, then asked a new question, "Then why did Mr. Paul... Could it be? That's too..."

"Yes, it's so embarrassing."

"So touching!"

"Huh?" x2

It seems Luo Qixi has misunderstood something...

"Didn't Mr. Paul fall in love with Mrs. Senis, who came from a common background, and then run away from home against his family's wishes?"

Sure enough, my guess went exactly as I expected.

"Wrong, wrong, wrong! You're completely wrong! Have you ever seen a village girl as well-mannered as my mother?"

"Indeed, could it be that Senis was also the daughter of a noble family, and the two fell in love and eloped despite their families' objections? Lilia is definitely not an ordinary person either, so she was actually their former maid?"

Luo Qixi is really a little love-struck...

Unfortunately, it was still wildly wrong.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Wang shook his head, denying Luo Qixi's conjecture.

"What happened? Tell me quickly!"

Luo Qixi was as excited as a little girl who had overheard some gossip, and couldn't wait to get started.

But...

Paul's past is truly disgraceful.

"Clever witch... what I just said was embarrassing."

"Shameful? What's shameful about love? Didn't you say you were in a relationship based on pure love?"

"Paul...it wasn't for love. As for the details, I can only say that those who know, know; those who don't, you can find out for yourself later."

I simply cannot say it.

As for hiding it, it was just to tease Paul when he was short of money.

"Tell me now what will happen!"

The witch started touching him again, this time trying to knead and flatten the king's face with both hands.

"Witch who seeks...forbidden...truth, when the truth is...too...cruel, there will be...a...price."

Sigh, I don't know why, the witch has become so violent now...

[Luo Qixi's Perspective - At the Dining Table]

Ugh......

I knew from the beginning that this child was precocious, but I didn't expect him to be precocious in that area as well.

No, I already knew about my precocious development in that area, but I just deliberately ignored it.

It's all Mr. Paul and Mrs. Senis's fault; they make such a racket every night, it would be strange if Trevor didn't know...

I'm actually quite happy that someone is interested in me.

But why does it have to be a little brat?

I don't dislike him; in fact, I find it quite comfortable to be around him.

If we exclude those embarrassing things...

But in the end, he's just a child. He was probably attracted by the love stories in the storybooks, and that's why he ended up coming to me.

If this child confesses his feelings to me when he grows up, I might actually consider it.

But Hilfi clearly has feelings for Trevor, what kind of melodramatic plot is this?

If that brat actually confesses his feelings to me in an exaggerated way when I grow up...

Having a teacher-student relationship with one's own student...

She was stealing a man from her own disciple...

It's so embarrassing...

People might even say, "I raised him to be like this since he was little..."

If this gets out, people will definitely think I'm a pervert!

I don't want that kind of thing!

I need to use my fists to teach this brat a lesson!

[Luo Qixi's Perspective - Now]

Fortunately, Trevor was sensible and said he would wait until he grew up.

Sigh, maybe when they grow up they won't look at this witch who never grows up anymore.

hehe......

I'm so pathetic...

Surprisingly...

Forget it, as long as I raise Hilfi to be like him, maybe the two kids will fall for each other when they grow up and get together.

When they get married, I can tell everyone the nonsense he talked about when he was a child, and I can even force him to call me, who looks like a teenager, "Witch Sister".

Hahahaha!

It must be really funny when he blushes with embarrassment!

This is what they mean by "one who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black."

I've actually caught Trevor's bad habit too.

Moreover, my ideal love is not a teacher-student romance or a melodramatic soap opera.

My perfect prince charming must have appeared and saved me while I was exploring the depths of the maze. He was very manly, tall, but had a childlike expression.

Then, deep within the maze, we'll rely on each other, overcome challenges, and gradually develop feelings for one another. And then...

hey~

Hehe ~

Hehehehe~~~

[Trevor's Perspective]

"Witch, what are you grinning about? And how long are you going to keep pulling at my face?"
