Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

Lord of Shadows?

No.

Now it is the Flash Sword Saint - Jax.

It's only been two days since it was born, and it's already embarrassed itself in Lingushai...

The little girl's shout drew the attention of everyone around her.

Several scholars poked their heads out of the carriage, the guards' hands were on their sword hilts, and even Nina, who was arguing with Old Deng in the distance, reined in her horse and turned to look in this direction.

Then she covered her mouth and laughed...

What is perverted?

"I'm just wearing a mask, a cloak, riding a tall horse, speaking gently and using elegant language—is that what you call perverted?"

How am I, the King, like a pervert?

I was frozen on Mambo's back, my hand still raised, ready to make an elegant greeting gesture, now suspended in mid-air, unsure whether to retract it or not.

Mambo snorted, seemingly mocking me.

In the end, the slap landed on Mambo's head.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and a woman peeked out. She was about thirty years old, with light-colored long hair tied in a bun at the back of her head. Her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, but at this moment they were full of vigilance.

She reached out and shielded her youngest daughter behind her, her gaze sweeping over me several times before settling on the sword at my waist.

"This is... a lord from the Land of Sword Saints?"

That's great, she's a smart woman.

"Jacks Magis, the personal disciple of the Sword God. I was just curious because I saw your daughter drawing alone in the car. Please forgive me if I have offended her."

Wang racked his brains and came up with every polite line he could think of.

Finally... she breathed a sigh of relief...

As expected, I can still hold my own as long as I pretend!

"So you're the Sword God's disciple. I'm sorry, I've taught this child to be too wary since she was little." She reached out and ruffled her daughter's hair. "This is a brother from the Sword Saint's Land, he's not a bad person."

"Yes." Wang Wei nodded in agreement. "That's a good thing. When facing potential danger, you can never be too vigilant. I was just wondering why there was a child in the group."

"I'm so glad you understand." The woman's tone softened considerably. "I was just worried about her safety, so I had to keep her with me and take care of her myself."

That's lucky, it means she plays an important role in the team, since having a child would be quite troublesome for the whole team.

"It must be very tiring. I also have a little one at home, and it's really exhausting to take care of him/her."

"Haha, no, my child is very sensible. As long as you tell her what to do, she will sit there quietly and study by herself."

"Oh, that's really impressive." Wang's tone became more sincere. "I hope my little darling will grow up to be as sensible as your daughter."

When talking to parents about their children, praise the little one in front of you.

This simple method always works surprisingly well.

We quickly closed the distance between us.

"...My brother who wears a mask."

"Yes, I am the older brother who wears a mask."

"Why wear a mask?"

"This mask... is a tool that can isolate misfortune from the past."

"Really? That's amazing! Is it a magical artifact?"

"No, it can be done with just an ordinary mask."

"......oh"

The little girl was disappointed...

The little girl stared at me for a while, but still nodded politely.

She sensibly didn't ask any further questions, but simply picked up the quill pen again and continued writing and drawing on the paper.

Looking at her, Wang suddenly thought of Aisha.

Aisha can't draw yet; she can only scribble on the wall with chalk.

When she grows up a bit more, will she also quietly lie on the little table like this, drawing crooked birds and square wheels?

Wang stared blankly at the little girl...

"...Mr. Jacks?"

"Mr. Jacks?"

When I came to my senses, I realized that the woman had called my name several times.

and......

She didn't look well...

Damn it! What kind of look is that?! I'm not Char Aznable!

I am now Jax Magis!!!

But... one must restrain oneself... one must be elegant... one must maintain composure...

I am now Jax Magis...

After mentally preparing himself, Wang began to explain.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about my little darling and got distracted."

"Really?" the woman asked skeptically.

"Of course it's true!" Wang tried his best to clear his name!

"..."

The woman stared intently at me.

Wang was sweating profusely...

"Really! My daughter is almost a year old, and I'm worried about how to raise her."

"Your family...daughter? Is it a younger sister or a child?"

Tsk! Why is this woman so smart?

"Sigh..." Wang sighed and told the truth, "It's my younger sister..."

Then Wang turned his head to one side.

As Wang tilted his head, the woman began to make her own assumptions.

That's how smart people are; they always guess based on their own experience and other people's reactions.

I don't know what this woman was thinking, but she started looking at me with pity...

never mind......

Let her think what she wants...

After a period of silence, the woman spoke first.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood your good intentions. I haven't introduced myself yet, how rude of me. My name is Eileen, and this is my daughter, Shirley."

"Okay, I've got it."

Fortunately, their names aren't too hard to remember.

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes, there are two things."

Wang cleared his throat and straightened his mask.

"Although I am a swordsman, I also know some magic, but it is a self-taught method based on books. I originally planned to go to a magic university to further my studies when I had the opportunity in the future."

Now that such an opportunity has come so often, I naturally want to get to know some academic magicians. It would be incredibly beneficial to learn some knowledge in advance.

Another thing is that I'd like to ask you for some advice on raising children. Would it be possible to do me that?

As he spoke, Wang cast a fireball spell without chanting.

Eileen's eyes lit up.

"No chanting?"

Wow! It feels so good to show off in front of everyone!!!

But Wang must stay calm!

"Yeah, I just figured it out myself."

"Wow, that's amazing... You must be incredibly skilled at swordsmanship to be walking alongside the Sword God, but I never imagined your magical talent was so... astonishing..."

"But the Sword God doesn't know magic, so could I learn some of your experience?"

"...Yes. I will."

So Wang squeezed into their carriage and began to relearn the academic knowledge.

Eileen began to talk about things the king wanted to hear—from the basic theory of magic flow to advanced attribute fusion methods in elemental magic, and then to "the relationship between the precision of magic control and the stability of magical structures."

Wang listened attentively, nodding occasionally and asking some trivial questions.

Wang knew the answers to some questions, but he pretended to be hearing them for the first time.

If there are some questions I really don't know the answer to, I'll write them down and plan to do the experiments myself.

This woman... she's got something special about her; she's definitely more than just an ordinary scholar with a child.

The carriage continued on its way, its wheels making a rhythmic sound as they rolled over the gravel.

Inside the carriage, Shirley was slumped over the table, having put down her quill pen at some point, and was intently listening to Wang and Eileen's conversation. Occasionally, she would glance up at Wang, then lower her head again, as if afraid of being discovered listening as well.

"Brother Jacks."

"……Um?"

Do you really have a younger sister?

"Yes, she's almost a year old."

"What's her name?"

"Aisha".

"What a cute name."

"Yes," Wang paused for a moment, "...she is indeed very cute."

Shirley tilted her head: "Then why didn't you stay with her? Why did you come all this way?"

Wang remained silent for a while.

"Because some things have to be done by someone. Only after they're done can she grow up in a better world."

"Then hurry up and finish, then go back to be with her. Otherwise, she'll miss you."

"...Yes, I will."

For the next few days, Wang would stay in Eileen's carriage every day.

It's nominally about "learning magical knowledge," but that's also what it is in reality.

What Eileen said was indeed valuable; much of it was "experience-based advice" that couldn't be found in books.

But Wang also admitted that it was really lucky to have a few people in this unfamiliar team who could speak normally.

Especially since it allows me to hide from that little brat!

We've been hiding for so many days, and I thought we could reach our destination peacefully...

She just had to come looking for a beating!

[One night at the campsite]

"Look at you, you freak! Flashy Sword Saint? Jax Margis? You're nothing but a piece of shit!"

The king ignored her babbling, goblin-like chatter and headed deeper into the forest, with her following him.

And now...

We've finally reached a secluded spot!

At this point, even a fool would realize that something was wrong.

"Hey! Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King, why did you stop?"

"I...I...can we reconcile...?"

"At this point, you must be joking, right?"

[After a short period of time]

Wang sternly corrected the little devil!

Use your fists to make both sides of her face swell up so her mouth won't be crooked!

[After a long time]

Our group finally arrived at the so-called land of divine intervention...

I just didn't expect the people from the Kingdom of Asura to have arrived first...

To their surprise, the old woman who was the water goddess came with them...

There's another one...

A blue-haired little girl with a hard-to-remember name...
