Volume 21 Side Story - The Mad Dog and The Child of God
Volume 21 Side Story - The Mad Dog and The Child of God
[Quagmire] the other day, but their life force hasn't weakened.
As proof, to replace the Sarak trees, the Balta trees are letting their flowers
bloom.
While rubbing her knees together bashfully, she huddled behind Therese.
In addition, men wearing some kind of blue armor are standing in the
background.
"Come on, Miko-sama. It's Eris-sama. Rudeus made time for us to meet."
Therese called out to the miko behind her back in a gentle voice.
Ever since she was aware of her surroundings, and every time something
happened and she was allowed to go outside, she had to look into the dirty
memories of adults.
When she fell into a trap while travelling and was surrounded, she thought
nothing except that it was scary, that she didn't want to die.
An air of superiority.
Her movements were straightforward, yet no one could catch her, and what
stuck in her memories was the afterimage of her fiery red hair.
It was striking.
At the time, the miko had no idea what had just happened.

The miko didn't realize that the said child was herself until after returning to G i ft s

the headquarters.
That was when she realized that she had been saved.
When looking into the fiery-haired woman's eyes, she learned the name of her
savior.
Eris.
While thinking that out loud, a strong admiration for Eris was born in her own
memories.
Whenever she saw something she would loudly declare her impressions.
Whenever she decided something she would plainly declare it in a loud voice.
She wonders how much time has passed since she started that kind of conduct.
She wanted to meet her, but she never said it out loud.
To the cardinal, to the pope, she desperately begged to anyone she could.
The Mad Dog Sword King is a dangerous person, but I still want to meet her.
The endeavor to let the extremely dangerous Mad Dog Sword King and the
miko meet was allowed because Rudeus guaranteed that "If anything happens
I'll take responsibility for it."
However, now that Eris is before her, she has no idea what to say.
Thinking that it would be rude to read her memories, she didn't meet her eyes.
"…"
She named herself as Rudeus's wife and one of the Sword Kings.
After Therese's following introduction and thanks for their first meeting,
around five minutes have passed.

It's rare for this girl with a quick temper, but this time she was strictly ordered
by Rudeus.
[The person you're meeting with is my savior. Please don't be rude… Well,
you'll probably end up being arrogant, but just don't hit her.]
"Ye-, Yes!"
The worry that she was offending Eris won out against her shyness.
"Um, I'm the miko! Thank you so much for saving my life earlier!"
"Eh?"
To the Eris that declared that in a loud voice, the miko reflexively looked into
her eyes.
"… ah."
And then, seeing that there wasn't even the slightest trace of herself in Eris's
memories, a saddened expression floated onto her face.
That it might be possible for her to remain in Eris's memories, even if just
slightly.
That maybe she would say something like, "Oh, you're from that time? You've
gotten big."
However, looking at her face, hearing about that time, Eris didn't remember a
thing.
Possibly, if she spent more time reading Eris's memories, she may find some
traces in the corner of her mind…
But after hearing about the past, what lurked in the corner of Eris's mind was
the memory of Therese hugging Rudeus as he sat in her lap and rubbing his
head.

08/02/2024, 18:35 Mushoku Tensei full version Chapter 243 - Volume 21 Side Story : The Mad Dog and the Child of God
With her arms crossed, the tall Eris let out a delightful voice.
After hearing that voice that seemed to blow away her shock, the miko shook
her head as if to shake off her thoughts.
Even if the one in front of me doesn't remember me, that doesn't change my
admiration or gratitude.
To the miko who thought that, Eris hurled out words as if in pursuit.
"So then, tell me your name! Since Rudeus says he'll be in your care from now
on as well, I'll remember it for you!"
"Eh?"
A name.
However, now that Eris says she'll remember the miko's name, she doesn't
have one to give.
"Miko is that thing, right? The same as Zanoba?… That's not a name, is it?"
At the word 'Zanoba,' the miko once again looked into Eris's eyes.
She couldn't see anything about that miko besides his name, since Eris didn't
have much interest in him.
"Why, you!"
"Miko-sama is Miko-sama!"
However, with the uproar in the background, she calmed down a little.
It didn't inconvenience her until now, and there's nothing that could be done if
she doesn't have one.

This is the first time in her life that she hesitated so much to look into
someone's eyes.
Of course, the miko already knew about the teleportation magic circles, and
was chuckling to herself.
"Fufun, of course!"
Eris's mood improved, and the atmosphere of the area became gentler.
I'll flatter Eris more, and improve the atmosphere even more, she thought.
Fluffy cheeks.
"Yes! I want to become cool like Eris-sama, not just in how I talk… Eh?"
Of all the people present, only two of them were able to react.
The two who were especially gifted at swordplay among the Order of the
Temple.
They couldn't see her sword fly at all, but they could feel the sense that
something, or someone, had been cut down.
Cut down.

"You!"
What was severed was the miko's wrist… or rather, a branch around half it's
width from the nearby Balta tree.
"…"
"..."
The miko looked at Eris's sword that was drawn at some point, thinking, that's
a pretty good sword, huh, none of the Temple Knights have swords that good,
and such while absentmindedly watching Eris's movements.
Before long, the twigs were all removed and the branch had become a wooden
rod around 100 centimeters long.
"Here."
"…?"
And then, changing her grip on her sword from one-handed to two, she held
her sword aloft… and swung it.
"Try it."
It wasn't something used for drying clothes, it was slightly heavy with a
strange center of gravity, and the miko unsteadily stumbled a step or two
forward.
After seeing that, the background shouted, but we'll leave that aside.
"Lower your hips more, let out the strength in your elbows, and be more aware
of how you move your back. One more time."
"Ye-, Yes!"
Without really knowing what was going on, the miko continued to swing the
stick.

Each time the miko swung the stick, Eris gave advice. G i ft s

"…"
"Call out each time you swing! One, two, one two!"
They weren't really sure what was going on, but they could tell that Eris didn't
intend to harm the miko, and so they saw no need to stop it.
There was also the fact that the miko looked lovely swinging the stick around.
Only the captain tried to stop it and had to be held back by the other followers,
but in the end it was simply the background scene.
Once she had repeated around 30 times, the miko let out a shaking voice.
From her back to her wrists, her body was numbed with exhaustion.
It seems like if you were to put your ear close to her muscles, you would be able
to hear them creaking.
"U, Ummm…"
She doesn't know why she was made to swing the stick around.
She will probably scold me, saying "Do you think you can become me like this?"
"Starting tomorrow, do that every day. Also, doing it in this garden is fine, but
start running."
"Eh?"
What could be seen there was her severe daily training in the Holy Land of the
Sword.

08/02/2024, 18:35 Mushoku Tensei full version Chapter 243 - Volume 21 Side Story : The Mad Dog and the Child of God
If Rudeus was here he may have said "No, that's definitely impossible…" with a G i ft s
Mushoku Tensei full version / Chapter 243: Volume 21 Side Story : T… 87.72% Library Forum D OW N LOA D A P P SIGN IN
wry smile.
In the other Temple Knights as well, though it wasn't to the same level as Eris,
there were memories of the effort they put in.
"I think it will be fine. We can't let you use a sword or magic, but as far as
training your body… Everyone will teach you together."
She looked around at the background while saying that, but quickly returned
her gaze to the miko.
While looking into the miko's eyes, she gave her honest opinion.
In Therese's memories were nobles who had challenged opponents with crude
tactics and perished.
Possibly lured in by that atmosphere, the silver owl that was wandering the
garden returned.
It angled its head and looked up at the miko, and cried out "Hoo."
When the miko bent down and extended her hand, the owl stuck out its
forehead as if presenting the place that was itchy.
The miko stroked it with her fingernail, and the owl's fluffy feathers stood on
end, and it narrowed its eyes in pleasure.
However, that isn't limited to the Beast Race, she loves all fluffy creatures.
She has lots of opportunities to touch dogs and cats, but not birds.

She can cut down a flying bird, but it's rare to get this close to such a large bird G i ft s

without it getting vigilant.
"Yes! Of course!"
Seeing that excitement, the silver owl winced and faltered backwards.
"…"
I can't move too quickly here. Animals instinctively fear creatures faster and
stronger than themselves.
They'll be obedient if you completely dominate them, but if you want to get
along with them you have to make sure you aren't scary.
That's what she heard from the Rinia who she completely dominated in bed.
Eris slowly and carefully extended her hand, and touched the silver owl.
The silver owl's plumage that seems hard from afar were very soft, and
increased Eris's excitement.
She wants to immediately hug it tightly and bury her face into its feathers, but
she can't go that far.
If she were to do that it would run away, just like Leo, Rinia, and Pursena.
While thinking that, Eris rubbed the silver owl all over.
The silver owl was frightened like an impala being tormented by a tiger, but
none of the people there paid it any mind.
After enjoying that softness for a while, Eris stood up with flushed cheeks.
"Eh? Name?"
Well, a name…

Not only has she never named anything before, she doesn't even have one G i ft s

herself.
She's not allowed to name herself, but it's certainly convenient to have one.
"A name…"
Seeing the deeply troubled miko, the background began to become flustered.
I'll decide it, no I will, but Miko-sama should decide it herself, and such.
He had finished saying goodbye to Cliff, and was feeling slightly sentimental.
I am a robot. He stiffened his face while thinking that he has to move like a
sentinel.
"A name…"
The new captain who didn't seem like he could swallow the situation.
I can't decide myself, but there's no problem if Rudeus does it, she thought.
"Yes, of course."
He didn't want to choose a bad name, but since it was so sudden nothing is
coming to mind.
"Nurse, huh? That's a good name! From today onwards, your name is now
Nurse!"
The miko bent down and pet the silver owl at her feet.

She tilted her head at that, but the miko was satisfied.
She got to meet the Eris that she looked up to, and decided on a name for the
owl. She even decided what she should be doing from tomorrow on.
"I'll come again someday. When I do, I'll come to see you again."
"Yes, please!"
They felt a bit of dread when Eris drew her sword, but they are satisfied that the
miko looks satisfied.
They are looking forward to teaching her in detail on how to train her body
from tomorrow on. All of them are.
Only Rudeus was turning away with a face that says "Oh, sheet!"
The silver owl Nurse looked at that miko with its head tilted.
From the next day the miko became more and more slim, and the Temple
Knights treated her more and more like an idol, but… that's a story for another
time.
