Anime: Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation

I felt a warm touch on my back and my nose could smell the scent of Esther.

The itchy nose tip made it even harder for Roya to fall asleep.

But Luo Ya still closed his eyes. Just because he couldn't fall asleep now didn't mean he couldn't pretend to sleep.

But to Luoya's surprise, the girl just leaned behind him and did not take any further action.

Luoya's slightly nervous mood also faded away with the passage of time. When Luoya looked back, Esther had closed her eyes. Esther's eyelashes were very long and trembled slightly, as if she had dreamed of something bad.

The hand holding Luo Ya also exerted a little force.

It seems like I dreamed about something bad.

Luo Ya put the lid on Esther's cup, closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep.

This time the dream didn't last long. In just a moment, Luo Ya fell asleep completely.

The darkness before my eyes gradually gave way to light, and the scene changed.

The battle between Saint Alessia and Solomon.

Having watched the battle once before, Roya seemed a little absent-minded.

The scenes skipped by, and it felt like watching a movie, quickly reaching the part that Roya had not seen.

This is the post-war outcome.

The holy sword pierced Solomon's torso, and his head fell to the ground and let out a sharp wail.

The holy sword began to emit a brilliant light, which swept around and swallowed up all the thick darkness.

But at this moment, the light bursting out from the holy sword became brighter and brighter, but this time, the light of the holy sword suddenly shattered when it reached the critical point, and under the light was an extremely dense darkness.

And this darkness quickly enveloped Alessia.

Chapter 207 I Won't Abandon You

Although Luo Ya had expected this, he was still slightly surprised and his expression became quite strange.

Unlike what Roya had imagined, the darkness did not corrode Alessia, but that did not mean that Alessia was unscathed. Alessia's arms gradually turned into steel, and the steel spread from her arms, attacking her entire body. Soon, not only her arms, but even her torso was wrapped in steel.

Esther revealed her true form, and for the first time, a look of surprise and panic appeared on her face. The girl's doll-like delicate face revealed a look of confusion.

Esther directly held Alessia's hand. She had no idea what was going on.

The divine power flowing in the body was beyond the control of Esther, and the energy continued to erode Alessia's body.

Alessia tried to stretch out her right hand, which had turned into crystal, and stroke Esther's head.

The corners of Alessia's mouth moved slightly, as if she wanted to smile, but her face had turned into crystal and she could only reveal a slightly stiff expression.

"Master, master, this, I don't know, I don't know why it is like this, I, I" Esther stuttered.

Esther's previous calmness was gone, and now she was like a child who had done something wrong, unable to speak clearly.

"Esther, this is not your fault. I knew it. From the moment I pulled you out, I knew my fate. I knew it this day."

Alessia's beautiful golden eyes flashed with sadness. She continued to touch the girl's head and continued: "It's not your fault, Esther. You don't have to care. This is my fate. Don't take it to heart. You have to live well."

As the words fell, Alessia was completely wrapped in the crystal, turning into a huge elf ore.

Esther looked around in confusion. Her helplessness and panic made even Luo Ya feel a little pity for her.

Roya went up to give Esther a hug, but his fingers went through Esther's body.

Luo Ya felt helpless. This was already in the past and he was powerless to change it. All he could do was to comfort Esther.

Esther's eyes were dim, and her jewel-like blue eyes had lost their luster. Esther stood there without saying a word, and the thick dark atmosphere around her had dissipated at this time.

Time seemed to have lost its meaning at this moment. Esther silently picked up the elf ore that Alessia had transformed into and buried it somewhere, tears dripping down her cheeks.

Esther cried for the first time, and now she understood the reason for all this.

"I am a cursed sword that will eventually kill my master. I am not a holy sword at all."

Esther murmured so, the color in his eyes dimmed. Esther quietly looked at the ore that Alessia had turned into, and finally walked away in silence.

In order to avoid making a contract with others, Esther chose to seal herself and refused to sign a contract with any elf.

Esther chose an extremely remote place and buried herself there, preparing to die there.

Luo Ya felt complicated as he watched. Who could have imagined that the legendary holy sword was actually a magic sword?

The so-called devouring curse is nothing more than using a stronger curse to devour a lower-level curse. When the curse accumulates to a certain amount, it will explode instantly. The accumulated amount is enough to kill the holder instantly.

So the question is, I have no resistance to curses, can I withstand this wave of curses?

Roya sighed and did not think too much. There must be a way out when the car reaches the mountain. Not to mention that Roya would not use Esther to destroy creatures like the demon king of this world. Even if these curses accumulated to a certain amount, Roya imagined that he would not die suddenly like Alessia.

But it's also time to get an ability related to resistance to curses.

While thinking, Roya's consciousness became blurred again. When Roya opened his eyes, he found that Esther had moved her face closer to him.

It was already morning. Looking at Esther's cold face, Luo Ya couldn't help but think of the helpless little white-haired girl with tear marks all over her face. Luo Ya had a look of pity on his face.

Esther tilted her head, seemingly not understanding why Roya was looking at her like that.

Luo Ya thought for a moment and said to Esther: "Esther, let's talk."

Esther stood up and sat up, her blue eyes met Roya's eyes, and Esther nodded.

Roya picked up Esther, sat up, and for the first time said to Esther in a serious tone: "I saw everything. Your dream, your affairs with Alessia, including the final outcome of your previous contractor, Alessia, who was known as the Savior Saint by the world. I know everything."

Esther and Roya looked at each other, and a trace of sadness appeared in those blue eyes, but Esther quickly suppressed that trace of sadness.

Esther sat up from Luoya's body and stopped looking at Luoya. She came to the bedside, looked down at her toes wrapped in black over-the-knee socks, and said to Luoya in a somewhat cold tone: "Luoya, do you know everything? Although I didn't intend to hide it from you, it's okay."

Esther did not call Roya "master", it seems that Esther is still upset about this matter.

Esther's eyes were filled with uncontrollable waves, and the previous spirit dimmed. Esther continued: "I don't know why I chose to sign a contract with you. It was also from that time that I realized that I was not a holy sword at all. I was just a magic sword that would backfire on its master."

Luo Ya didn't say anything and continued to wait for Esther to speak.

Esther was silent for a moment, then continued, "Mingming, I only hurt others, but when I saw you again, my first feeling was that you were special. You had a strange power that kept attracting me. Luoya, you may not know how tempting that attraction is. For us elves, that feeling is like a person about to die of dehydration in the desert encountering a spring of sweet water. I couldn't resist that fatal temptation. I knew I would hurt others again, but I still chose you."

Luo Ya reached out and stroked Esther's forehead, and said in a gentle tone: "I don't dislike you. I just want to tell you this this time."

Luoya held Esther in his arms. Esther's petite body and warm touch made Luoya feel comfortable.

Luo Ya said to Esther: "It's just a curse. These things can't bind me. Don't worry, you are my contracted spirit, I will not abandon you."

Chapter 208 Don’t Die Before Me

Luo Ya's words did not have a very good effect. Esther's eyes were still filled with sadness, and she said nothing.

Seeing Esther like this, Roya said, "Well, you can actually sense that I actually have a special physique. Whether your curse will work on me is another matter."

Luo Ya's words were half true and half false, and he himself didn't know whether he could be immune to Esther's curse.

Hearing what Luo Ya said, Esther's expression became hesitant. Esther raised her eyes and looked into Luo Ya's eyes. Luo Ya blinked and smiled at Esther.

Roya's smile was very nice. The boy's facial features were already handsome, and coupled with his gentle smile, Esther couldn't help but feel dazed.

Like her, he had blonde hair and bright eyes, and his figure gradually overlapped with hers.

Esther closed her eyes and seemed to see her old friend.

That was her first friend, and even after more than a hundred years, she still hasn't forgotten that person.

Luo Ya didn't wait for Esther's reply in a hurry, he just sat there.

Time passed little by little, and memories of the past emerged in Esther's mind. When she opened her eyes again, there was a firm look in her eyes.

Esther stood up and reached out to touch Roya's cheek.

Luo Ya was slightly stunned, but Esther had already moved her face closer.

Roya was experienced in love, and he knew the intentions of Esther's actions very well, which were mostly signs of a kiss.

If you ask why Luo Ya knew this, it is of course because he often does this to Luo Qixi and the others.

It was the first time that a girl treated him like this, and even Luo Ya felt his heart beat faster.

But now was not the time to think so much, Luo Ya wanted to push the girl away.

Just looking up, Luo Ya's thought disappeared.

The light in the room was bright. The sunlight climbed into the house along the window sill, illuminating the small room.

The early morning light shines on Esther's face. Esther still has that cold expression. The light illuminates the right side of Esther's face. This light is enough to illuminate the entire room but cannot illuminate Esther's pretty face. There is a shadow hidden under that delicate face. This shadow is Esther's pain, and this pain also emerges due to the awakening of memory.

Esther's expression made Luoya feel pity, and Luoya could understand Esther's helplessness.

But the past is over, and all Roya can do is to make Esther forget the pain as much as possible.

A warm touch came from her lips, and Esther kissed Roya with her slightly clumsy skills.

This was an unprecedented feeling, and the tingling sensation made Luo Ya a little dazed.

Soon their lips parted, and Esther's slightly rapid breathing made Roya's heart beat faster.

But this feeling soon disappeared, leaving only the lingering warmth on the lips and the fragrance on the tips of the teeth.

But now an idea inexplicably appeared in his mind.

Oh no, I’ve really become a lolita complex.

I don't know why, but recently I've always had excessive contact with these little adult lolis.

Esther reached out and touched Roya's cheek with her fingers. She said to him with an extremely serious expression: "Master, promise me that you will not die before me."

What Esther said solemnly was also what Esther was most worried about.

Luoya smiled and reached out to touch Esther's forehead, and the soft hair slid down Luoya's fingers.

Roya said to Esther: "I won't die so easily."

Esther nodded.

Alice came to wake Luoya up as usual. This time, with yesterday's experience, she did not just barge in, but knocked on the door.

The door opened, and Roya had already put on his clothes, and Esther was straightening the wrinkles on his sleeves.

Watching Esther's movements on the bed, Alice's eyelids twitched, and a bad look flashed in her eyes. She looked at Luo Ya with a look of scum and said, "You can't be so hungry that you don't even let go of your own contracted elf."

Luo Ya glanced at Esther, who was already putting on her shoes and preparing to get out of bed, and asked seriously, "What's the problem?"

"What's the problem? It's a big problem, right?" Alice was speechless.

Esther stepped forward, walked to Roya's side, grabbed Roya's sleeve, cast his eyes on Alice, and said, "This is how I get along with my master."

With just one sentence, Alice was completely shut up. Alice opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she just sighed and nodded, "Okay, let's eat."

There were bread, milk and fried eggs on the table. This was a very standard Western breakfast. Luo Ya sat aside, raised his knife and fork, and swallowed the food.

Although the ingredients are not expensive, Alice’s cooking skills are superb and the taste is quite good.

After they finished their food, Roya took Esther and waved goodbye to Alice.

I made an appointment with Claire last night to hone our rapport, so Claire asked to practice with me.

Luo Ya did not refuse and agreed. The gathering place this time was at the entrance of Linslet's dormitory.

The destination of the sparring is the elemental spirit world, which is not only accessible to elves, but also humans.

This sparring session was actually quite formal, as it was a team competition organized by the Alessia Elf Academy.

With the competition, there will naturally be a ranking, and the ranking of this competition has actually, to a certain extent, determined which teams can participate in the Elf Sword Dance Festival.

Neither Claire nor Linslet were weak, but neither of them formed a team, so their rankings were naturally very low. Although not at the bottom, they were also in the lower middle.

The abilities of elves are varied. As long as there is a mature team, even if the elves in the team are very mediocre, they can still defeat Claire, who is two or three levels higher than their level.

This is why the Alessia Elf Academy requires each team to hone their team chemistry.

In team competition, what is tested is not individual strength but team tacit understanding.

After all, not everyone can be like Roja and directly pull out the elves to increase their strength.

Linslet's dormitory was not far away. Although it was the Raven Class, the dormitory of the Raven Class was no different from that of the Weasel Class. After walking for a while, they arrived at Linslet's door. Roya hesitated for a while and knocked on the door. Roya thought that the maid he had seen before would open the door.
