Re:Zero: No Job, No Magic, Just a Stupid Romance System

Sylphy's home is almost at the northernmost part of Buena Village.

When the location was chosen, it was to facilitate the hunter Roarz to go hunting in the forest. When Roarz's wife, Norda, was about to give birth, the two had already discussed that it was time to move closer to the village for the sake of the child's future social circle.

"It's always at the edge. If the child wants to play with other children, will she have to walk a long way?"

Norda suggested.

Roarz naturally agreed.

Buena Village is very large, and there are many vacant locations to build a new residence. The Knight has a good personal relationship with Roarz, so he would surely come to help.

In this expectation, the child was born.

The moment Norda saw the child, she was stunned.

Roarz was also stunned for a moment, but then he shouted excitedly, using a high-pitched tone that he would never use at ordinary times, deliberately shouting:

"My child is so cute~ How about calling her Sylphiet!!"

Norda was held in Roarz's arms and cried in response.

"Okay."

Sylphiet is very cute, with smooth hair that sparkles with emerald green in the sun — very beautiful.

Norda thought so.

Roarz thought so too.

However, the two of them tacitly agreed and never brought up the idea of moving to the village again.

Sylphiet is a very sensible child.

At the age of four, she whispered that she wanted to contribute to the family — when her father was on duty at the edge of the forest, she would bring him lunch.

However, she always walked home wet after lunch, and under Norda's distressed gaze, she whispered lies such as accidentally falling into the irrigation river and dirtying the food.

At first, Norda just hugged her and cried, but later, she found that this fragile emotion would only increase Sylphiet's anxiety, so she stopped crying.

Instead, she pretended to be gentle and comforted Sylphy.

After Norda began to change, Sylphy was obviously less uneasy.

This made Norda feel a little relieved.

But countless times in the middle of the night, she would still look at Sylphy's sleeping face and shed tears silently.

This child...

Doesn't smile much.

Why... is it like this?

——

The dark pupils blinked, and Norda broke free from her memories. She looked at Sylphy, who was sitting opposite the table under the candlelight, writing a diary with a gentle smile on her lips. Her emerald green hair, which was originally kept short, had now reached her shoulders.

Norda showed a sincere smile from the heart.

In a blink of an eye, Sylphy is almost seven years old.

Since last spring, this child Sylphy can smile.

That's great.

The door was opened, and the snowflakes outside the window floated into the house. Roarz walked in. He shook the snow off his shoulders, smiled at his wife Norda, and said to Sylphy, who looked up at him:

"Are you writing in your diary again, Ruphy?"

Sylphy put the diary into her arms inconspicuously and nodded.

Roarz smiled and didn't mind Sylphy's action.

The child has grown up and will have her own "secrets," right?

He turned his head and looked at Norda, and they both showed a helpless smile.

It's just that this "secret" is not a secret at all.

Roarz walked past Sylphy, who did not turn her head but just looked at the wind and snow outside the door, her brows subconsciously frowning slightly.

This subtle facial expression was very similar to the demeanor of someone in the past year. Seeing this, the old father looked at his wife and smiled bitterly, shook his head, and was about to walk into the house. But when Sylphy's expression was about to disappear from his pupils, Roarz's pupils flickered, and he turned his half-turned face back.

He looked at Sylphy and said with a smile:

"Ruphy, we've been preparing to clear out monsters recently. There are a lot of monsters this year. I'm afraid we won't be back until the evening. You can go out with me in the morning, and then I'll send you to Greylat's house and pick you up in the evening."

Sylphy was stunned, and suddenly turned to look at Roarz, with a bright look in her eyes.

"Really?!"

"Why not? We didn't let you go out before because we were afraid it would snow, and we'd be worried if you went alone. But if I go with you, of course there won't be such worries."

Sylphy's face bloomed with a bright smile.

Bang.

The wind and snow outside the window were too strong and knocked the window open. The family hurriedly closed the window.

The winter wind blew into the house from the window, and the diary on the table was flipped page by page.

January 31

Spring is here.

I finally saw Allen.

I haven't seen him for a winter. His hair has grown a little longer. His expression is still the same as before the snowstorm last year. He likes to look at people with a smile.

But every time he sees the Knight and his wife, I always feel that his eyes are not right.

But if you look closely, it seems to be an illusion.

March 21

I always feel that Allen is always frowning these days.

What is he worried about?

June 17

Summer is here, and the weather is really hot.

Allen's head is always sweaty.

Today, when reviewing magic knowledge, Allen suddenly said he wanted to "seek justice" for Somar's bullying of me last year.

Although I was a little happy, I still felt a little strange. It was clear that Somar had always taken a detour to avoid us in the past year.

After arriving at Somar's house, Somar was not at home. Allen entered the house but left me and Rudy outside.

Rudy kept pulling me to take me away from there, and kept muttering "Run, run, this is not something a child can listen to!"

I didn't want to pay attention to him. He always says strange things.

Soon, Allen came out, his face very frightened, and he grabbed us and ran home.

Mrs. Somar was calling us from behind.

She said, "Allen, wait!"

Allen ran faster.

Inexplicably.

But I always felt a little uncomfortable, though I couldn't say why.

September 16

Allen said that autumn is the season of harvest.

Suitable for eating wild boar.

Is there any connection??

We went outside the forest and found our father.

Well, wild boar meat is delicious.

September 17

Wild boar meat is delicious.

September 18

Wild boar meat is delicious.

September 19

Today, my father looked a little flustered. He said that if we keep eating like this, the wild boars will be eaten up, and it might impact the forest's ecology.

Allen was stunned and said he should pay attention to it.

September 20

Wild boar meat is delicious.

October 1

Rudy has been a little lazy recently, because a while ago he proudly showed off to Allen that he had received a letter from Teacher Luo Qixi.

Of course, I received one too.

One for each of us.

But when Allen heard about this, his expression was a little strange and he didn't say anything.

I think he also received a letter from Teacher Luo Qixi.

So I asked him how many he had received.

He stuttered and looked at Rudy, whose expression gradually became a little stiff, and said something like "only one."

But Rudy got anxious. He didn't believe it and insisted on seeing Allen's letter.

Allen had no choice but to open the drawer, and there were six letters in the drawer.

He was the first one among the three of us to receive the letters.

From that day on, Rudy was a little lazy, and he didn't even study magic well.

Well, but I understand him a little, because in addition to the letters, Allen seemed to receive gifts from Teacher Luo Qixi every time.

Suddenly, I had a feeling.

I guess Allen frowned all day because he missed Teacher Luo Qixi?

I don't know if my guess is right.

Teacher Luo Qixi is excellent, and Allen is also excellent.

I want to be as excellent as them.

Ah. Sure enough, I still miss Teacher Luo Qixi.

I also want to receive her gifts.

Allen is so cunning.

November 21

It snowed, and it's the annual blizzard period again.

Last year, my father was worried about me and rejected my idea of going to the Knight's house to study magic during the blizzard period.

I may not see Allen again this winter.

Recently, I've had a strange feeling about Allen.

This feeling is completely different from what I feel about Rudy.

I always want to see him.

Is it because he saved me last year?

I'm not sure.

But my mother told me that I will know it naturally in the future.

Yes.

Allen also said that tomorrow's things will be known naturally tomorrow.

I think what he said makes sense.

But there is one thing I know even without waiting until tomorrow.

Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and every day thereafter—

I want to keep looking at him.
