Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Page 193

One lets his contracted spirit use it at will, while the other knows his master's power and openly steals divine might. One dares to take it, while the other doesn't care.

Upon realizing this, Esther simply stopped using her elemental form and began staying by Roya's side in this body.

But now Esther's expression had turned extremely cold.

Esther's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her aloof, childlike face underwent a subtle change, becoming even colder than before.

Meanwhile, Roya was wholeheartedly teaching Claire how to use a sword.

During the break, Esther came up to Roya, tugged at his sleeve, and said, "Master, I want to learn too!"

Roya: "???"

Roya stared in disbelief at Esther in her little girl form, his expression turning quite strange. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but the words caught in his throat.

Claire, who was sitting to the side recovering her strength with a face full of sweat, couldn't help but ask curiously after hearing Esther's words, "Aren't you Roja's contracted spirit? What can spirits do with sword dance?"

Esther turned her gaze to Claire, her cold expression tinged with impatience, and said directly, "I won't let you have the master all to yourself."

"Enjoy it all by yourself???"

In an instant, Claire's cheeks turned bright red, her already flushed face becoming even redder from exercise.

Claire shouted, glaring at Esther, and said, "What do you mean by 'exclusively'? Roya was just teaching me sword dance; I didn't have any other intentions, right?"

After speaking, Claire turned her gaze to Roya. Roya's lips twitched. He really wanted to tell Claire that she seemed to have let something slip.

Esther didn't even ask you, so your last sentence was a complete self-inflicted wound.

Esther astutely seized upon the loophole in Claire's words, and her gaze gradually turned hostile.

A cold glint flashed in Esther's eyes as she said to Claire, "Are you really thinking about Master? Is there something else going on?"

Claire, realizing she had let something slip, froze, her panic intensifying. She tried to defend herself: "Who would have feelings for that pervert? Well, I do have some feelings for him, but that's all because Roya taught me swordsmanship. Don't overthink it."

Luo Ya's lips twitched; this attempt to cover up the truth really made him want to laugh.

Looking at the other person's expression, he felt that if he laughed out loud, he would definitely provoke the other person and become their outlet for venting.

Luo Ya suppressed his laughter, looking comical as if he wanted to laugh but dared not.

Esther finally said to Claire, "I don't care about any of your stuff. In short, the master is mine."

As if asserting her sovereignty, the girl reached out and hugged Roya's arm; Esther's actions were undoubtedly provoking Claire.

Claire said somewhat angrily, "What do you mean 'belongs to you'? Roya should belong to everyone."

Luo Ya thought to himself: I belong to myself.

Esther stepped forward, released Roya's arm, walked up to Claire, looked at the girl with dazzling red hair, stared directly at her, and sneered, "I am Roya's contracted spirit. What are you? A puppy?"

Esther's sharp words left Claire momentarily speechless.

Claire opened her mouth, her face turning bright red, but she couldn't utter a word.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was tense, Roya quickly stepped in to smooth things over, grabbing Esther's slender hand and saying, "Alright, alright, Esther, stop fooling around."

Esther turned her gaze to Roya.

Roya wasn't a blockhead. This time it seemed like Esther was just being silly, but in reality, Esther said those things because of other emotions.

To Roya, this emotion was more like a child throwing a tantrum, even though Esther was no longer a child.

Roya pulled Esther aside and began trying to offer other conditions as a bargaining chip to persuade Esther not to act recklessly this time.

"Um, Esther, shall I take you shopping?"

Luo Ya has put up his chips.

Esther's cold eyes flickered, but her tone remained icy as she refused, "No, I cannot allow my master to associate with disreputable women."

"???"

My contracted spirit has too many ideas, what should I do?

Roya tapped Esther on the head and said irritably, "You little brat, how come I never knew you had so many things to do?"

Esther covered her head, making a pained expression.

Putting aside the question of why the Sword Spirit, being the highest-ranking creature, could withstand the Demon King's violent attacks but couldn't withstand Roja's light taps, Esther's expression was indeed adorable.

Esther looked up again, staring at Roya. Although her tone was still cold, one could sense the frustration in her voice.

"Master, does this mean you don't like me anymore?"

Luo Ya sighed and began to slowly coax him.

"The college has lots of delicious food."

Roya added more of his chips, trying to make Esther realize how precious the promise he had made was.

Esther hesitated for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

Roya rolled his eyes. In Esther's mind, the so-called master was roughly equivalent to food.

"The academy has lots of beautiful clothes!"

Esther remained silent and did not speak.

Esther's silence was due to food; she wasn't interested in things like clothing.

Having realized this, Roya began to think about what kind of food was available at the academy.

So Luo Ya immediately rattled off a whole bunch of dishes that he thought were pretty good.

"Things like ice cream, chocolate, cake, etc. The ice cream and cake are delicious, and Esther can eat as much as she wants."

Roya began to use specific foods to entice Esther.

Esther's gaze became hesitant, and her expression stiffened.

She wanted to refuse firmly, but when she thought of what they looked like, Esther felt it would be a shame to refuse.

Finally, Roya whispered to Esther, "Of course, I will always be with you. This is just for you."

After saying that, Roya winked at Esther.

Roya's tone was slightly indulgent. The boy's words, like the spring breeze of April, brushed against Esther's face. Esther's mental defenses were completely broken down by Roya, who then gestured for her to be quiet.

As it turns out, only things that are unique become truly precious.

Only by giving her treatment that others don't have, and making her useful, can one demonstrate how much Roya values ​​her.

Esther nodded without hesitation and agreed, then stood aside, her face regaining its initial calm and composed expression.

Although Esther's expression changed very little, Roya could clearly sense Esther's joyful mood.

In fact, if we were to compare Claire and Esther, Roja's feelings for Esther were greater than his feelings for Claire.

If nothing unexpected happens, Esther will likely be with him for quite some time to come.

Although it is heartbreaking to say this, it is self-evident which of the two is more important.

Luo Ya has never been stingy with his own people, but he did this partly to take care of that sensitive and easily hurt wildcat.

Roya and Esther's conversation didn't last long; they only whispered to each other for a while before reaching this shady deal.

Back in their original positions, Esther's gaze lingered on Claire, making Claire feel somewhat strange.

After finishing the rest of the story, Roya prepared to retreat with Esther.

This is an opportunity, an opportunity to improve his relationship with Esther, and an opportunity to understand each other better, so Roya naturally wouldn't give it up.

In the afternoon, as agreed, Roya took Esther to try all the delicious food in the surrounding area.

Whether it was because she had stayed in the shrine for too long, or because there simply wasn't that much food in the era when the saint lived, Esther ate her way from one end of the street to the other, trying almost everything, all under Roya's astonished gaze.

Esther's chubby cheeks make her look incredibly cute.

Roya curiously reached out and poked Esther's cheeks. Esther looked up at Roya, and Roya looked back at Esther without feeling embarrassed.

Esther's left hand was holding Roya's right hand. Esther was unaware that this was the boy's wicked sense of humor. She looked at the ice cream cone in her right hand, hesitated for a moment, picked it up, and said to Roya, "Master, get down a little."

Roya was puzzled, but still bent down as Esther asked.

Esther held the ice cream cone to Roya's lips and said to him, "Master, I'll feed you, ah."

Esther's doll-like face, combined with the girl's indifferent tone, made Roya want to laugh.

Seeing Esther blink as she took a bite of the half-eaten ice cream cone, Roya showed no disgust and took a bite of the other half that Esther hadn't yet bitten.

Roya was thick-skinned enough, and in some ways, he felt that Esther was more like a daughter at this moment.

So, it's quite appropriate for an elderly father to accompany his daughter shopping, isn't it?

Roya took it for granted, and Est, being an elf, naturally didn't find anything special about it either.

But the interaction between Roya and Esther made the students in the nearby college blush.

Most of the elf users in the academy are between fourteen and seventeen or eighteen years old. Girls of this age are always prone to fantasy, and most of their fantasies revolve around love.

In addition, since the academy doesn't usually discipline its students, some elf users like to rummage through miscellaneous items like romance novels.

Incidentally, this world also has similar romance novels, although they are nothing like those in my previous life.

Right now, the girl clearly belongs to the type who is being persecuted by the novel in front of her.

The girl's cheeks flushed red as she looked at the man and woman who had done such a thing in broad daylight, and she grabbed her companion, saying, "How could they do such a thing?"
