Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

【The Sacred Land of Swords - The Path Down the Mountain】

Because I simply couldn't stand these two...little guys.

A masochistic Ace...

A trembling admiration...

Although they are a match made in heaven, if things continue like this, who knows when I will be able to witness the skills of the God of Pure Love!

According to Gintama, when living beings face death, they instinctively produce... well, you know...

Therefore, I, the King, will personally take action!

Give these two little ones a chance to be together through thick and thin!

The excuse of taking two kids down the mountain to kill people worked very well. Old Deng was quite happy to agree, Little Dragon King was quite excited, and only Kino was still a human.

In short, I, along with these two little ones, am searching for a bandit's den.

To be honest, I don't know what the bandits are after. Most of them are just cannon fodder with little strength, especially in the Sword Holy Land area. For bandits to make a living here, isn't that just an experience pack?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If someone really had brains and skills, they wouldn't resort to robbing passersby to make a living.

"You two, go and kill everyone inside!!!"

"Sir! Yes, sir!"

The soldier Chino gave me a spirited salute and then went off to carry out his mission.

As for Nina...

(Please remember the website 20 ...

She kicked the saluting little Kino first, then charged in...

Nina's current strength is roughly at the level of an advanced swordsman, but for the sake of clarity, her current level is only at the early stage of advanced.

Meanwhile, the 6-year-old prodigy Qinuo has reached the intermediate level of Great Perfection.

His cultivation level was suppressed by his age, and he had not yet mastered battle qi, so he could not become a high-level swordsman.

No matter what, the scum in that bandit den is no match for the two little guys.

Therefore, I, the king, shall be your opponent!

As they went in, I circled around to the back of the camp and found the guy who looked like the leader.

Kill him and everyone around him, then throw them into the inherent barrier.

The one sitting here is no longer the King of Shadows.

Now I am a madman, a mountain king who kills and sets fires and wears a golden belt, the bandit king of the Northern Divine Stream dwarves—Shan Xiaochuan!

By the time I had changed my clothes and made preparations, the commotion in the camp had subsided.

Next, it's time for the boss to make his appearance!

I, the Great King, lifted the tent flap and saw the Little Dragon King and the Little Machine.

The two guys were covered in blood, but they weren't seriously injured, after all, it was just a small gang.

"I can't believe those two little brats could kill that trash! That's amazing!"

"Is this guy out of his mind?"

"have no idea."

"snort!"

I spread my hands, my laughter hoarse and manic.

"I'm so happy that you two adorable little ones are going to be defeated by me—Shan Xiaochuan! And then, you'll become my hardworking slaves!!!"

Nina paused for a moment, then started swearing!

"You short-legged, hairless thing! I'm going to give you away!"

"Then I'll show you whether you've got the skills!"

—The battle has begun!

I drew two broken swords that I had picked up at random and walked towards them.

Keep your fighting spirit at an advanced level, and just use dual-wielding and some basic moves. That should be enough to deal with these two little guys.

Kino and Nina exchanged a glance.

Then they moved simultaneously, one to the left and one to the right, a standard double-team formation.

I turned to the side and slashed at Nina with my sword. She blocked the blow with her own sword, but was knocked back two steps.

Kino seized the opportunity to stab from the side, but I dodged to the side and kicked him in the back of his sword.

They were forced to retreat simultaneously.

"Oh, you two cuties, you look like you have really strong muscles all over your bodies~~~"

"Shut up! You disgusting bastard!"

After that, Kino and Nina began to try to surround the king from the front and the back.

Ok.

A reasonable choice...

My dual-wielding style can handle attacks from two people simultaneously, but... I can't use my rear end to see what's behind me.

Moreover, the [flow] technique I learned before was a huge boon to me, but I can't use it now.

Nina's sword is extraordinary. If she were to use the Silent Katana, my worthless weapon wouldn't last a single blow!

But it doesn't matter!

I switched from defense to offense, using my dual swords to suppress Nina with all my might!

Since you dare to separate, I will just relentlessly pursue Nina!

Nina, who was not good at defense, was instantly suppressed to a dangerous state by me!

Kino had no choice but to abandon the encirclement tactic, force the king back from the side, and stand with Nina again.

My two swords, like two snakes, coiled around their attacks, giving them no opening whatsoever.

"It doesn't matter! I have the same C for both of you!"

Nina's face turned bright red as Kino tried to approach from the side.

But I only need to move one step to the left to block both of their attack routes at the same time.

"You two, let's make me happy together!"

After several rounds of fighting, Nina retreated to Kino's side, her chest heaving violently.

She had already exhausted a lot of her strength while clearing out other bandits.

Kino, who is younger and doesn't yet know how to use aura, is at a physical disadvantage.

Swords clashed, sparks flew.

Nina's rhythm is starting to break down.

Every time she tried to gather her strength, the king's blade would reach her face. She could only retreat, retreating until she was side by side with Kino.

Kino knows some of the Water God Style techniques I taught him, which allows him to barely withstand my attacks, but he's not much better off.

If this drags on any longer, they will only lose.

Therefore, their only chance of winning right now is that Kino can withstand the pressure from me for a short time, and then Nina can find an opportunity to use the Silent Blade to put me at a significant disadvantage!

The two little ones were clearly aware of this as well.

There seems to be a strange tacit understanding between them.

Kino didn't say another word, but simply stood in front of Nina and parried with his sword.

The Water God Style stance, a defensive posture, was intended to withstand several of my attacks and create an opportunity for Nina.

very good!

That's it!

If Kino gets injured a little more while protecting Nina, maybe Nina will be able to do *that* to Kino.

Minor injuries are no big deal; I gave them healing scrolls long ago.

Little Kino!

I'll let you get hurt a little, so Nina will feel sorry for you. This is for your own good!

Suddenly, Wang quickened his attack, spinning around and swinging his twin swords!

"Lightning! Whirlwind Slash!!!"

This move looks quite frightening; two swords simultaneously slashed down at Little Kino!

Kino did not dodge.

He stood there, sword held horizontally in front of him, as if he really intended to use his small frame to withstand this attack from me.

but......

Nina moved...

She reached out and grabbed Kino's collar, pulling him back with all her might.

Kino was thrown out and staggered a few steps before regaining his balance. Then... Nina had a cut on her shoulder.

Blood seeped from her clothes and dripped down her arm to the ground.

Ah? ? ?

no???

What's going on??

The plan shouldn't be like this...

"Nina...?"

Kino, like the King, was completely bewildered and didn't know what was going on.

"Don't come any closer!" Nina didn't turn around, but simply gripped her sword tighter, staring at the king. "I can do it."

Nina's voice trembled, but the sword did not.

never mind......

Fortunately, I have a backup plan!

First, impersonate Shan Xiaochuan and kidnap Nina! Then, with Kino's help, rescue Nina!!!

Wang launched a full-scale attack on the injured Nina, giving her no chance whatsoever, and within a few moves, he had knocked her to the ground. Lying on the ground, she tried to struggle to get up, but the blood was still flowing, and her movements became increasingly slow.

"Oh dear, oh dear~~~"

Wang stepped forward, squatted down in front of her, and revealed a twisted smile on his usually stern face.

"This little girl is quite stubborn. But that's okay, her stubbornness is what makes her interesting. From now on, you'll be my hardworking slave."

"You short, stocky dwarf? Dream on...!"

"Don't worry, I have lots of secret weapons that will definitely give you a pleasant surprise!"

Next, they kidnapped her.

But... a gust of wind came from behind, along with a roar squeezed out of a chest.

Kino rushed up.

Before the king could retract his sword, Kino's sword was already thrusting towards him.

Wang Meng turned to the side, the sword blade grazing the edge of his face, drawing a streak of blood.

Kino didn't stop.

The first sword missed, and the second sword followed immediately.

The speed was much faster than before, and the quality of the battle aura was noticeably stronger.

but......

It's not just the fighting spirit that's changed...

The way of wielding the sword has also changed...

With his current strength, he should be able to wield the Silent Blade.

But he didn't...

The biggest advantage of dual-wielding in a one-on-one situation is that it can be used for both offense and defense, with one sword used for parrying and the other for attacking.

If he does that, I can parry with one sword and then cut him down with the other.

The Sword God Style swordsmanship focuses all its power into a single, decisive strike, capable of cleaving through everything.

His sword speed is definitely not slow now.

So that's how it is. The strike used only seven-tenths of its power, with the remaining three-tenths used to accelerate the next strike.

As the number of rounds increased, Kino's attacks became more and more fluid.

Each sword strike corrects the flaws of the previous one, and each swing is more effortless and precise than the last.

The post-rock is getting shorter and shorter...

The gap is getting smaller and smaller...

I, Wang Shanxiaochuan, was actually suppressed from the opposite direction...

Awesome...

I never imagined that after being transported to another world, I would witness the cancellation of sword techniques...

I might as well give you a straight sword that can shoot fire from now on...

Even so, Wang quickly regained his composure.

Because no matter how powerful Kino becomes, he is still too young.

As the number of rounds increased, Kino's adrenaline and oxygen consumption began to wane.

However, these two little guys still have a chance of winning.

Perhaps we can use another backup plan!

As long as Nina heals herself with the Healing Scroll, and then she and Kino team up to unleash their combined attack—the Sword of Love and Devotion!

Down with the evil Shan Xiaochuan!

Then Wang can happily act as the matchmaker, watching the two of them exchange glances!

Hmm, this ending isn't bad either!

But......

Nina didn't use the healing reel...

She simply got up again, picked up her sword, pressed her other hand against her still-bleeding shoulder, and stood beside Kino.

Then they launched an attack on me...

Not a girl?

What did you do all day while Little Chino was having a super power-up?

Sleepwalking?

This teammate is hopeless...

Nina rejoined the battle despite her injuries, but the two little ones' situation did not improve...

Not long after they clashed again, Kino's strength began to wane.

Nina, due to the strenuous exercise, had lost blood more quickly, and her face was already very pale, with no color in her lips.

Each swing of the sword only made the wound worse.

Sweat and blood mingled together, dripping onto the ground in a string...

If they keep hitting her, she'll bleed to death...

How can this girl be so...clumsy...?

never mind......

First, knock her unconscious with the hilt of the sword, then restrain her. On the way to the kidnapping, use healing magic to stop her bleeding...

The plan changed, but the outcome remained the same—a hero saves a damsel in distress, and true friendship is revealed in times of trouble.

Okay, let's do it this way.

Having made up his mind, Wang turned his attention back to Nina.

He forced Kino back with a single sword strike, then turned and smashed the hilt of his sword at Nina's nape.

She saw the sword hilt hurtling towards her and instinctively squinted and shrank her neck.

Then......

It didn't hit the ground...

On the other side, Kino gripped the blade in his hand...

His little hands were covered in blood...

"...You fucking...don't even think about it!"

This is the first time I've heard him swear.

He spoke so stiffly that it made my heart skip a beat.

Nina's eyes widened in surprise.

Tears finally welled up in her red eyes.

Ugh......

never mind......

That's it...

The king, disguised as Shan Xiaochuan, raised his two swords high, crossed them above his head, and began to spin, the sword light drawing a spiral-shaped, pale arc.

"Since that's the case! You two little brats will die under my lightning whirlwind!!!"

Then--

A figure emerged from the shadows.

His dark brown hair shimmered with a dark gold hue in the firelight, his cloak billowed behind him, and then he found a place to sit, crossed his legs, tilted his head, and propped his face up with one hand.

It is the Lord of Shadows!

It was merely a projection of my own bounded field.

The Shadow King simply raised his hand, and Shan Xiaochuan, who was leaping high into the air, was about to use his lightning whirlwind to crash the plane down!

Shan Xiaochuan's body was like a kite with a broken string, swept up by the shockwave and crashed into the previous tent.

"Where the hell have you been, you bastard?!"

"I've been secretly watching from the side the whole time..."

"Big...Big Brother?!"

"You...! You...! You...! You just watched us get hacked to pieces by that bald madman?!"

Before she could finish her sentence, she swayed and almost fell over.

Kino supported her from behind, shifting her weight onto himself.

She didn't care anymore, and just leaned against Little Qino, continuing to point at the king and curse him with one hand.

"Coo-coo-cao! Coo-coo-cao!"

But now...

It's not the time for arguing; we need to hurry inside the tent and switch back to our original identities.

The King of Shadows hurriedly entered the tent and then began to put on an acting show with Shan Xiaochuan!

"Hmph! So you've been defeated by me, the King of Shadows!!!"

"No way—no way! I won't fucking lose! I won't lose!!!"

"Die, my lord!!!"

"Kuchiya!!!"

"..."

【after a while】

Little Kino is also looking at me.

He supported Nina with one hand, while blood was still seeping from the web of his other hand.

The expression was still that of a human, but the eyes were still red.

He looked at me, his lips moved slightly, as if trying to confirm something.

"Big brother...you've been watching all this time?"

"It's been there from the beginning."

"I see..."

"Yes, that's it."

He didn't curse like Nina did, nor did he ask why I didn't act sooner.

He simply lowered his head, looked at Nina who was leaning against him and cursing, and steadied her shoulders a little more.

"Well done!"

"Huh?"

"Little brother, you did a great job, much better than that other idiot!"

"No way..."

"Exactly! Where is it?!"

The Little Dragon King has regained his strength, and he's started making a crooked face again...

"Why did you take Chino away in the first place? You definitely had a chance to win!!!"

"Because...I..."

Because Nina cares about Kino...

Seriously...

It's so obvious...

Whether it's her concern for her younger brother or a vague feeling of affection, she cares.

If she didn't care about him, why would she have shielded him from a knife? Why would she have seen him cry like that when he was angered by my manipulative remarks?

If I, the king, am in danger...

Nina probably just laughs hysterically with a crooked mouth...

"besides!"

I will continue to finish off Nina!

"Why didn't you use the healing roller just now? Were you dreaming? If you had used it earlier, you might have won right away!"

"I...I forgot..."

"Forgot? What were you thinking back then???"

"None of your business!"

Forget it... don't talk to idiots...

"Little Kino".

"Sir...?"

"Have you found a reason to wield your sword?"

Kino looked at Nina in his arms, then at himself.

"...Found it..."

"Okay, that's good."

However... let me remind you again...

"Remember, just knowing how to wield a sword isn't enough; you also need to use your brain. Otherwise, you'll lose a battle you could have won..."

That's right, I'm using a veiled insult to criticize someone else!

"Sir! Yes, sir!"

only......

Little Kino didn't seem to understand what it meant...

Nina, blushing, punched Kino from behind.

I don't know if it's shyness or anger...

Forget it.

Although the plan was executed terribly...

But at least the original goal was achieved:

Firstly, Kino brought Nina closer to him.

Secondly, I have witnessed Kino's true talent in swordsmanship.

If this continues, Kino's swordsmanship will surely blossom and bear fruit, and I am delighted.

I'm just so tired...

Am I really that bad at making plans?
