Chapter 231: Volume 21 Chapter 1 : Cliff's Return Home
Part 1 Paragraph co
Even now I remember the scene I saw when I was approaching the city from the
north.
The river flowing from the Blue Dragon Mountain into the lake, the pure white
palace floating in its center, the golden cathedral along the riverside, and the
silver Adventurers' Guild.
… Ah.
"Dignity and harmony, It exemplifies the two; making it the most beautiful city
in the world."
It's an amazing name, I wonder what kind of person would have that kind of
name.
You can't see anything unnecessary thanks to the high towers and walls.
The beauty of that palace stands out, the walls conceal everything else.
Simplicity is best.

From now on, this city is a battlefield. Thinking so would only be natural.
In Asura Kingdom, you could say, the dirty parts were on the outside.
"…Cliff-senpai."
But it's only at the level of running small errands,such as buying juice from a
convenience store.
"Well then, for the time being… let's take a carriage to my family's estate."
Part 2
The entrance to the Adventurers' District on the south side was the closest.
Though in truth, it matters little which one we take, when we're this close we
might as well use this one.
Rather than passing through the center of town, it might be faster to avoid the
traffic by following a side street. Cliff surely wants to arrive quickly.
"I want to see the town again for the first time after such a long time."
Ahh.
After all, being away for so long, it's his first time back in 10 years.
Though he'll likely be here for many years to come, today is a special day.

"Alright."
Cliff said that to himself as we passed under the gate, and looked back out at
Milis.
Cliff was born in the Religious District, I've heard that he rarely visited the
Adventurers' District.
Yet, looking out from the gate at the Adventurers' District, he smiled.
Compared to Asura Kingdom there are a lot of Beast Race and Elves.
Adventurers' ranks vary, but you can guess from their clothes.
15-16 year old boys and girls wearing second-hand equipment are obviously
fledglings.
Adventurers in their 20s wearing a mix of new and worn-out equipment are
mid-level.
Although their equipment can look worn out at first glance, veterans can be
seen wearing various magic items, which are some of the highest-grade gear.
In the Magic City Sharia, you'd see veteran warriors and swordsmen, and lots of
fledgling magicians.
Well regarding the Beast Race, they may have just followed Rinia and Pursena
then ended up staying.

Other races, and most experienced or veteran adventurers, don't linger in the
capital.
There are probably so many different races and skilled adventurers in Milis
because the Great Forest is so close.
The Beast, Elf, and Hobbit races come from the Great Forest, and Dwarves from
the south.
But, because there's no Adventurers' Guild in the Great Forest, they use
Milishion as a base.
Some adventurers familiar with Milis will spend the year traveling between
Milishion and Saint Port.
Well, in this situation, I wonder how it would be best to launch the mercenary
branch.
Merchants' sons, who studied all their lives to be merchants, only to have the
family shop taken over by the eldest son and forced into independence.
And, although they were all educated, there were also the third and fourth sons
of the lower nobility who wouldn't receive any inheritance and couldn't be
married off.
Ultimately, Ariel introduced the fifth son of a senior aristocrat to become the
branch chief.
Iya, I had a long interview with that guy before I acknowledged him, but I was
happy with his results.
While wearing sunglasses Aisha asked something like, [You, for those two years
after you left home, what were you doing?]
He replied [I hid my identity and interacted with the commoners. By doing so,
and at the same time learning the differences in culture, I was able to learn the
importance of knowing each fellow worker well.]
His reply was articulate and thoughtful, [Oh, this guy] is what I thought.

He was familiar with the differences between the social classes, so when
disputes occurred, he was a guy who could easily understand and resolve it.
Aisha seems to have written something like a memo, but we can only start
making decisions after seeing what we have to work with.
Though there are a lot of adventurers in the adventurers' district, there's also
the religious district, the shopping district, and the residential district.
Not just adventurers, we should try to include the other locals as well.
After seeing the religious district and the residential district we should be able
to draft a plan.
"I didn't notice last time… but there are a lot of different races here."
A group of dwarves that must be around 10 years old, a group of elves with thin
limbs that look almost like dead trees.
There are also a lot of different beast races. Dog, cat, rabbit, deer, rat, tiger,
wolf, sheep, bear…
Incidentally I thought, when looking at livestock like pigs and cattle, do these
guys think nothing of it?…
No, even if I see a monkey kept at a zoo, I don't particularly feel a sense of
camaraderie.
"Oh, oh…!"
Aisha panicked and tried to sit Zenith back down in a hurry while she staggered
and pointed at something from the shaking carriage.

08/02/2024, 18:21 Mushoku Tensei full version Chapter 231 - Volume 21 Chapter 1 : Cliff's Return Home
That reminds me, there isn't a monkey-like tribe in the beast race.
"… Oh."
"Ooh!? Hey Zenith-senpai! What are you doing in a place like this!"
Part 3
"What amazing luck! I certainly don't expect to meet here of all places!"
Gisu wasn't listening, and began telling us about what happened after we
parted in Sharia.
Vera and Shera retired from being adventurers with their share.
Sometime after, because they had so much money, Gisu thought it would be
smart to start doing some kind of business.
Well, about Gisu, how should I put it, he's addicted to gambling.
I don't know much about it, but in Asura Kingdom there's a so-called gambling
town.
Gisu can normally handle himself gambling, but with that much money he
couldn't help but lose control.
After just a few months Gisu had lost everything and then some.
"Well, everything fell apart, all I had left were the clothes on my person, so I
put that life behind me and ended up here."

the ocean with concrete boots.
As he was about to leave on his next adventure, he stopped by to greet Gisu, and
saw him in that state.
Although Talhand was disgusted, he sold off a pair of gauntlets he had made to
help Gisu out.
Those gauntlets were made with the magic absorbing stone, apparently
Talhand spent his entire fortune on development costs.
Those two couldn't afford Asura Kingdom's high prices, so they journeyed
south.
If it were me, I'd still help a friend in a rough spot, but to that extent and then
starting a journey together, I wonder if it's because they've known each other
for so long that this kind of thing is just a mutual understanding.
Just like that, those two left behind Shirone with its bloody civil war, ignored
the Kingdom of the Dragon King rumored to be complicit, and returned to
Milis.
"That bastard, doing something like going back to his hometown, what's with
that."
After such a long journey, it's normal to start missing your family and want to
meet them.
He's homesick.
"Me? That's stupid. There's nothing interesting at all about returning to such a
remote place."
Is that so.
Just touching Sylphy's chest restores my strength, even Roxy's chest will rise to
the occasion, and it feels like hours fly by with Eris. All under one roof.

"With mother in such a state, I received a summons from her parents' house. I
took the opportunity to travel here with a friend, and make an appearance."
Although Zenith normally has a blank look, she seems to be in a good mood.
"Well, I've heard about Zenith's home somehow, too… that seems, pleasant…?"
"I don't know the details, but they say it's a stubborn house."
Gisu shrugged.
"We're almost at the district's boundary. It's too bad, but I should get off here.
If a demon race enters the religious district it'll cause trouble."
"Well, it was short, but we should meet again sometime. Stay strong, Senpai!"
"What is it?"
"Yeah."
https://www.webnovel.com/book/mushoku-tensei-full-version_27096259406624705/volume-21-chapter-1-cliff's-return-home_729671090129349… 8/13

Even so, although it was by chance, it was nice to see a familiar face in such a
tense atmosphere.
Part 4
By the time we got to Cliff's house, the sun was already setting.
An ordinary single family home, it looks like it could fit a family of three or
four, it's snug.
How should I put it, in the religious district, the houses are all uniform.
Because it's the Pope's house I expected something similar to Ariel's estate, it's
kind of anticlimactic.
We unloaded the luggage, stabled the horses, stored the carriage, and brought
everything inside.
But, while I was dealing with the carriage, I noticed a white cloud of dust.
"Gah!"
The dust had an acrid smell, Aisha let out a cute sneeze.

"To thank you for letting us stay here, we'll help you out with the cleaning…
Aisha."
"Ah, sor…ry?
"Eh, me?"
"Of course."
We fully opened all the windows, even with wind magic it was rough, so we
finished up by sweeping.
Since nothing had been used in several years, I used hot air to clear any bugs
out of the beds and blankets.
The kitchen was also considerably dirty, but Aisha somehow managed it.
Then, using the food leftover from the journey, we had a light dinner.
While toasting with cups of water, we enjoyed a meal of dried meat and soup.
I was troubled over how many ingredients we had left, so I had an underlying
motive to finish them.

For establishing the mercenary branch and assisting Cliff when the time comes,
staying in the Latreia house may limit my freedom to act… but I won't know
until I try.
"If you'd like, every couple of days I could send Aisha over?"
"No, that's fine. You guys are going to be busy too, it's just something to think
about."
Part 5
Three people in a small room. The family, sleeping shoulder to shoulder like the
川 character.
We made a makeshift bed out of blankets and cushions we borrowed from Cliff.
But I don't feel that way about Aisha, and she doesn't particularly draw close to
me too.
"I have an abrupt question, you, about what Lilia said, what do you think now?"
https://www.webnovel.com/book/mushoku-tensei-full-version_27096259406624705/volume-21-chapter-1-cliff's-return-home_72967109012934… 11/13

Then, she put her hand on her chin and had a look like she was thinking
intently.
"Hmm, it's not disagreeable… but, perhaps, for Sylphy-ane, it's different.
Something like this… I wonder if it's selfish…"
It felt alright.
While saying that, Aisha curled next to me and pressed against my body.
"… Someday, when you find someone you love, you can start a family of your
own."
As I said that while enjoying my new pillow, Aisha suddenly sat up.
Aisha's lover.
An excellent-type, or an unreliable-type.
Aisha can choose who she wants,but I don't like the idea of arranging a match.
If I ask Orsted, he should be able to tell me about the type of guy that Aisha
marries…
If I heard something like she's single for the rest of her life, it would be pitiable.
"Aisha, tomorrow, when I bring Zenith to her parents' house… what do you
want to do?"

But returned.
"I see…"
"Yeah."
Going alone to a house with such a high status, I'm a bit uneasy.
If I can establish a good connection with the Latreia house, things should go
smoothly.
