Mushoku Tensei Volume 22 2
Chapter 229 : Return, Report and to the Next Stage
Part 1
"Let's see. It's not like she can't do something like that..
....until a time comes when she personally thinks it's
necessary, she most likely won't do that."
"Personally, meaning?"
"A little."
"Hmmm~....."
That day, the one taking the advice was none other than
myself.
"Excess admiration?"
"Yes.....huh?"
"Wau!"
"Wau, wau!"
"....Yeah, well."
"Is it Claire-sama?"
"No....ah, but it's not only just bad news, for one thing I
also have good news."
".....blundered a little."
That's different.
That's unexpected.
"........"
"......."
Part 2
Gisu.
It's just that, now that they had become enemies, they
had the tendency to fight fair and square.
"Rudi...."
"Me too, though I can't move around very well yet, I'll
become Rudi's strength."
"Ah, Onii-chan."
My tension is rising.
"Lilia-san....."
"I apologize.....Rudeus-sama...."
Even if I say staff, Ariel, Cliff, and Miko are not here,
but.....
An assistant, huh?
"Is it really fine? ...I think it's too difficult to just dabble in
."
"Sensei......."
"I understand. I'll let you look after the Magic Armor and
entrust my life to sensei!"
"Entrust it to me."
"......"
It's Eris.
"......?"
I didn't quite get in what way or how I'm alright, but for
now I gave that answer.
The matter regarding Gisu was a big shock, but still it's
alright.
"I see."
What to do?
Ah.
"I might have mentioned this before, but it's easier for
Hitogami to aim at us during pregnancy. Gisu might also
be aiming for that, so let's stop for a short while."
They look like they've heard that for the first time.
I am untrustworthy.
"No way. Rudi will say 'just a little,' and then you'll
allow it while saying 'if it's just a little', right?"
It's perfect.
Be strong.
Part 3
"....Eh!?"
"It's because of his curse. The moment you see his face,
the feeling that you're getting now would probably be
changed to resentment or suspicion or the like."
"Yeah. That's why, you must never open the door [13]
when Orsted is working inside."
".....Be-bedding?" [14]
"Ahem."
"I understand."
Part 4
"Rudeus, is it?"
"....I see."
"Yeah."
Both of them are too far, and it doesn't seem like there is
a landmark for them.
Huh?
"Futile."
"Stop it."
Those guys.
".......I understand."
An obstinate refusal.
"Yeah."
"I received quite some influence during this one case, but
I didn't have enough stuff like a little bit of Orsted-sama's
『influence, so I have a preposition."
".....What is it?"
"No good."
Huh?
He is glaring at me.
A terrifying glare.
"........"
"Ah....um....yes."
It was unexpected.
"Tch....."
Fierce God.
"I see."
"That is right."
Part 1
What embassy?
"...."
"Aisha, if you like any of the outfits, you can bring them
back home with us, so choose quickly. Eris is waiting."
"Answer seriously!"
I got scolded.
But, seriously.
Aisha has said it herself, the job this time isn't really
job-like, and she's free to love whoever she wants
anyway.
"Well then, wear the dark green one. It's plain enough,
and it will match Eris's dress?"
"Uu..."
It's hereditary.
"Hmm?"
"Uffun~nano."
"That's not right. Using her pose right now can only be
considered a misfire... You shouldn't have so much faith
in her advice."
"Slow!"
One such fellow just threw the door open with a *bang
* and jumped into the room.
It's Eris.
"Fuu..."
"Take this!"
Part 2
"Yeah."
"Yup."
"Leave it to me!"
Well, that's only in the case that the Death God turns
into an enemy.
"...."
"Act dignified."
Part 3
"...."
"...."
No reply.
"......"
"Hmm? Or is it a daughter?"
"...... Pax."
Randolph supplemented.
"...."
Sister-in-law Aisha.
"......"
I turned to Randolph.
"Why."
For now, let's assume this isn't a trap, and regard this
as a tentative trust.
"... Understood."
And how the demon race man named Gisu turned into
my enemy.
"If that's the case, then don't mind what I'd said, I very
much want to avenge his Majesty and destroy his enemy.
.."
At this rate...
"What is it?"
Well, whatever.
But, since the prince died in the civil war, now that
Benedict has had his child, it's a different story.
"..."
"I suppose."
Part 1
"No, elder sister Eris, if it's the King of one of the best
countries, then you can't just meet someone like that. You
have to rely on someone if it's that."
Part 2
Where is it?
"Oh!"
With dull blond hair that doesn't really match with the
crown.
"So it's you, defeating that Water God Reida, that one
person who stopped the army invading Shirone alone,
the so called Rudeus Greyrat?"
are dead; I'm positive that those truths have not changed.
"
"That is......"
How is it?"
"And thus, just like every other nation, thou have come
to me to ask for permission to cooperate......isn't that right
?"
Well, yeah.
".........."
"......Hoh."
"In other words, the reason you came here was to appeal
to spare that child's life?"
"......No."
"Ha."
The King stamped his feet with a 'don' and bent his
posture forward.
"First of all, after the death of the former king, the vassal
"......."
"What.......about it?"
"........"
"......."
The one who send out the lifeboat was none other than
the Knight Shagal.
He has authenticity.
"Hmmm......"
The King called out to the young man sitting a little far
out.
With blond hair just like the King and a slight beard.
"Hmmm...."
The King said with a sigh and returned his gaze to me.
".......Well."
Part 3
I see.
but if you take this ring and say it's 『Randolf's wish, she
should be somewhat able to listen to an unreasonable
request."
"Oh!...."
Part 1
Besides that there are areas that are covered in poison gas
and deep valleys, so this region is called the worst part of
the Demon Continent.
There are few towns or villages, and the ones that exist
are transforming into secure fortresses.
After all, this region has the fortress once built by the
immortal [Five Elements Demon King] Necross Lacross,
the strongest fortress on the Demon Continent.
And the ones who follow the legend and set out on a
journey are never heard from again.
Most die along the way, and the rest are forced into
Atofe's elite guards.
Well then.
Part 2
"Of course!"
[……]
[…]
Ooh.
Part 3
It's a battleground.
It appears to be.
"Fufun…"
Atofe Punch!
Atofe left her fist that blasted Moore out and rapidly
approached.
"Ah."
She is glaring.
"It's you…"
Scary.
H, Huh?
That's strange.
"Hm?"
Red hair.
"Get away."
"Eris Greyrat."
"Hooh."
"That's right."
No it's not.
That's no good.
Yup.
"Why?"
She put down the bag she was carrying and drew out a
wooden box.
"What's this?"
"Alcohol!"
"Is it tasty?"
"Very."
This one isn't in a box, and the maker and price are
unknown.
"This is——"
"Oi!"
Aleschneil
"Its name is [Dragon God Jewel Spirit]!"
"That's the only time I've ever drank this. I've searched
far and wide, and finally I have it once again!"
Tatarata~[41]
"What!?"
Is that so…
That's right.
"Yes."
——Huh?
I'm bewildered.
It's Eris.
Their faces are close enough that you could think they
may be about to kiss.
Atofe fell for that obvious provocation, and let out killing
intent.
"In these past 100 years, you're the only one to say
something like that to me."
"Sure."
I messed up.
Let's do it.
Part 1
I'll bestow you with the title of hero if you can defeat
me.
If you lose, I'll make you my puppet and use you until
your last breath!"
"......"
Nay.
"......"
"......."
"........"
"Ah....."
Is it summoning magic?
"Ah~...."
"Oh......Ooohhh......."
There is a remembrance.
"GAAAAAAAaaaaaa!!!!"
Eris attacked.
"Su!?"
It stopped.
"....."
It didn't stop.
It was stopped.
"GAAAAAaaaaa!"
But the power is halved if it's dealt with just one hand.
"SRRaa!"
"oooOOHHHH!"
"『Shoot it thorugh!"
That's right.
"Did we do it?"
"Not yet."
But they probably know that Atofe won't die from just
that.
Atofe revives.
Very interesting.
"Humph!"
"......"
"......"
"Yes."
Part 2
Ah, no, wait. That's not a fellow guard. It's not even a
man.
"Rudeus-dono.....Rudeus-dono!"
"Yes."
I, individually.
".....I understand."
"Please do."
"Ah, yes."
"......But of course."
I see.
"Yes."
"......."
"...!!"
"...."
"...."
Whaat!?
Weird!?
"Alright."
"Oh, how slow of me. I'm Roxy's mother, Rokary. It's nice
to meet you."
"We have..."
"Are you by chance the small human child who was with
Ruijerd when he was going on his journey?"
Roxy interjected.
"Yes. At the very least, my love for Roxy will never run
out. I swear to God."
My love is agape.
"I see..."
"Still, Roxy married, huh... The Roxy that would trip over
nothing and be a moment from crying when she was
small..."
"I see, your name's Lara. Being able to clearly say your
name, you're a clever one.
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
"Huh? Yeah. She still has a little difficulty with it, but
is clearly understandable."
Grandma.
It's Zenith.
"Ahh..."
Miko had said so, that Zenith can read others' minds.
I see, telepathy.
"...."
Oh dear?
"She's still young, so she can only speak with her head,
but I'm sure she'll be speaking with her mouth before
long."
"I'm sure what you two are feeling is the same when we
had Roxy."
Roxy, the only one in her family who can't use telepathy
and Lara, the only one in her family who can.
Zenith clearly has been, and likely Leo also has some
sort of telepathy power as well and has been conversing
with Lara with it.
After that, I paid back the money they had lent me times
ten, and presented them the betrothal gift.
Roxy is safe.
"Rudy."
Faah!
I'm sorry.
"Zzz zzz."
The fact that Lara can use the Migurd racial ability just
fine.
"About what?"
"...."
"...Huh?"
"...."
"I'm against it... But if you think it's for the best, then I..."
I can't choose.
"What's this?"
"...."
Lara, making use of both her arms and legs, was clinging
onto Roxy like a cicada.
The usual surly and brazen face she always had was...
gone.
Her mouth was warped, her brow furrowed, and she had
an expression that looked like she was going to cry at any
moment.
"...!"
"...."
Part 1
Such hardship.
"Babu~" (Norn)[55]
Even so, she's still a brutish dog that can't fight against
her appetite.
"Wafun~!" (Aisha)
"Babu~...!" (Norn)
Rejected.
Love is warmth.
"Ah."
"... Yeah."
"If I heard properly, are you leaving already for the Holy
Land of Swords?"
"Is that so... yeah, well, that won't be in time after all."
"... What?"
"The delivery."
A big belly.
"But... Rudy..."
"I'll be here."
Part 2
"I won't."
Part 3
Under her arm that is, his eyes were spinning, but he
immediately set out to prepare for the delivery.
"Ugh."
When Lucy was born, she had a little bit of light brown
hair.
Arus was born while I was away, but when I first saw
him, he had red hair.
"...."
"That...."
But, Sylphy...
For her...
It's different.
"......"
"Sylphy."
We should be celebrating.
"Eh?"
"Y-yeah."
I'm sorry.
"Huh?"
"Arumanfi...?"
Part 1
I had a dream.
That the dream was of the old days when I was being
bullied by the village's children.
I thought that 'I really love Rudi, don't I' after having
such a dream at this point.
It wasn't my face.
The child who had Rudi's face was being chased by the
black shadow.
......What to do?
I trust him.
A reincarnated person......
At late night.
Not long ago he was crying, but now he's fast asleep.
"......"
Yeah.
"........"
"No..."
That the child has just been born and it's impossible to
come so soon.
Part 2
20 days passed.
"........No."
"So that I can make you realize that our child isn't
Laplace by Perugius-sama."
Part 3
Just as always.
There is no conversation.
"......."
"........Yeah."
Now that I look at it, the door still looks in good taste.
"Please advance."
"Yes."
"......Yes."
"......"
"......"
"That's right."
"......Yes."
If my son is Laplace.
But wait.
The child has only just born; there is plenty of time for
persuasion.
No.
The kids are still small, but at least until they become
adults........until they become 15 years old, I'll protect
them.
"Hou, deal with it, huh, how will you 'deal' with it
specifically?"
As much as I can.
No....
"Arumafi is my eyes.
"In other words, this isn't related at all, but did Arumanfi
trespass during the private childbirth scene?"
Ehhhh.
Ehhhh.
"Let me see."
"....."
"..........Eh?"
What to do?
Main subject?
"Rudeus Greyrat."
What is it?
Ah.
That....
"In spite of the war against Laplace, you went ahead and
called out to her first........why didn't you call out to me?"
Is that fine?
Perugius jerked his chin and a girl came out before us.
Nanahoshi Shizuka
The answer that came from the back was from Orsted.
"Yes......Yes!"
"No."
Properly....huh?
It's about me, so I can't help but think that I can't arrive
at a conclusion.
"Of course."
"It might take 1 or 2 months, are you all right with that
?"
".....It's fine."
A month, huh.
Part 3
"......"
It was Sylphy.
"Um.....Sylphiette-san."
"Understood."
"Ah......now that you mention it, what did she tell you
in the end?"
"It's a secret."
Part 1
It's probably too difficult even for Roxy, who has been
researching magic circles recently.
"Yeah."
"Rudeus."
"I am."
From the basket that was left in the corner of the room,
she produced an apple.
"Uh huh."
"Roger that."
"Yeah."
A failure?
"Rudeus."
"Yes."
I can't see his face, but it seems like his job wasn't just
starting up the magic circle.
No.
Patsu——[71]
The arch.
"…"
Nanahoshi said that and bowed her head, then ran over
in Perugius's direction.
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Mostly potatoes.
"Hey, wait!"
Completely naked.
"Rudeus!"
I caught Lucy.
Sorry, Lucy.
Ah.
After a little while, Roxy and Norn came home, and went
into the bath with Lara.
"You're welcome."
She may have been talking with Eris in the bath, since
there wasn't any dangerous atmosphere.[74]
Part 5
Junk food.
"This is the last time you’ll eat this food… make sure to
chew it properly when eating."
"…"
Eris was feeding Lara, while Aisha did the same for
Arus.
Part 6
"If it was the you from long ago, you wouldn't have
played with my children or anything like that."
"Oh, sorry."
"Why?"
Ah.
"Why?"
"Yeah."
"… Please."
"What?"
"I understand."
"If several years have passed over there, and you have
nobody to rely on, no home, and nowhere to go… This
letter asks my siblings to, even if just for a little while,
take care of you."
"…!"
"That's…"
"Truly, for all you've done for me, thank you very much."
"Yes."
Nanahoshi nodded.
Part 1
“….”
“Everything’s set.”
Evenly, without waste, not too much, but not too little.
Huh?
“Rudeus!”
Perugius shouted.
“Perugius-sama! Instructions!”
–*crack*…!
Something burst.
“….”
And, of course.
Needless to say.
Everyone is dumbstruck.
“… What happened!”
Perugius shouted.
“Huh?”
Me?
Cut?
I didn’t though.
“If the mana supply was cut, the magic circle should
have lost its light.”
“Ugh…”
“….”
Looking at Perugius…
What to do…
Part 2
“….”
Umm…
When Sylphy is like this, I’d sit down next to her. Then
put my hand on her shoulder.
“Excuse me.”
Hypothesis, hypothesis…
“….”
I’m sorry.
“Yeah.”
“Why is that?”
It’s Orsted.
Yeah.
I have no idea.
A miko.
“… Ah.”
Or maybe both.”
In the future.
No…
Her role…
“Alright.”
“Yeah?”
Well…
A parallel-world AIDS.
“Therefore…”
Her solution.
“… a request?”
“I understand.”
I nodded.
Part 3
“Rudeus Greyrat.”
“Pfft.”
“….”
“For the past, this is the future. It was the past just now.
And now it’s the future. I believe my pupil has made a
foolish mistake, and want to correct it. Until Laplace’s
revival, this is just killing time.”
A foolish mistake?
But if, for some reason, she isn’t able to return, there
are people who care for her.
Part 4
Alright.
Simple is best.
“Gotcha.”
“There is a report.”
“I see.”
Then placed his hand on his temple and let out a long
sigh.
“Yes.”
Part 1
"Grrrrrrrr..."
"Grrrrrrrrr..."
"Out!"
"Hurry up!"
"Atofe..."
"You are. You've always been a giant idiot and you even
know that. You know that you bite at the bait right in
front of your eyes without a thought in the world."
"Ugaaaahhh!"
"Shut up! This One followed you lot because you told
This One you would feed This One something good and
all This One gets is poor treatment! This One shan't feel
better until This One has said at least that much!"
She had been lured by the words, "Miss, we'll give you
something yummy, so come with us for a moment," by
men who had stripped off their trademark black armor,
and had fallen into a trap.
"In the first place, This One has yet to hear the reason
why this one has been taken captive! What has This One
done?! This One has done no...no...misdeed of the sort?"
"Y-You are...Rubens!"
She had met this magician just two times in the past.
The first time they had met, she had laughed at his
disgusting amount of mana, and the second time, she
had laughed at the magic power that could repel a
Demon King.
"Heh heh..."
"Let's see if you can still say that after seeing this."
The magician lowered the bag that was on his back and
reached a hand inside.
"Eek...!"
"Wh-What...!?"
"Say 'ahh'."
I'm not sure I've ever seen Roxy look so happy before.
"Oh..."
"There isn't."
"To start, I wish for you to find a man named Gisu using
your power."
"Hoh, Gisu..."
"Found him."
"This feeling... That must be it. The one you are fighting
against currently is Hitogami...isn't it?"
"That's right."
"...Right."
"Hrrmmm..."
"Yeah."
"If I recall, the Fighting God and Dragon God had fought.
"
"...Understood."
It's not that I want to fight with the cheerful Demon King
.
"Well, for someone who has turned Atofe ally, This One
believes you should be able to deal with the current Badi,
but please kill him not if you can help it."
Kishirika beckoned.
"What is it—"
"Here, Sploosh."
"Gighaaaahh!!"
It hurts, it hurts!
"It's over."
"..."
"This One has no concern in this battle, but This One has
just a slight history with Hitogami. This one is a freebie
and farewell gift."
Clairvoyance, huh?
"Hold it."
"Listen to my request."
Oohh!
I'm sure they'll have some use since Atofe is saying so,
though...
"Tell me."
Unreasonable...?
Bighaeril again...
Is this coincidence?
...Huh?
Is it coincidence...?
Part 2
I've caught wind of where Gisu is, but at the same time
, I also obtained information that North God Kalmann III,
one of the Seven World Powers, is heading toward the
same place.
Hmm...
"Welcome back."
"Thank you."
Eris, upon seeing me, did not stop her hand and
continued stroking.
"Here-nano."
What an attitude...
"A report came from the east nya. 'A demon with green
hair that was the spitting image of the doll, with a jewel
on his forehead—a Supard was sighted'... That's what's
written on it nya."[85]
"Oh, at last!"
"...What?"
Bihaeril.
