01x04 - Emergency Family Meeting

[bunniefuu]

Mum, congratulations.

Thank you, Rudy.

Finally, you won't feel lonely anymore.

-You did it! Zenith!
-Darling...

We're having new family members.

How great is that, Rudy-chan!

Zenith has been worried that
she couldn't conceive another baby.

So the Greyrat Family
was thrilled at the news.

I'm terribly sorry. I'm pregnant.

"Who's the father...?＂

But the atmosphere was
too heavy for me to ask.

Everyone realized it at once.

I-I'm sorry...

I-It's probably my child...

How pathetic...

Nah, perhaps I should
praise him for being honest.

I guess since he lectures people
arrogantly all the time,

he couldn't lie to us.

Well, well. I don't hate that about you.

The situation is the worst though.

If you're afraid, cross the mountain and go

The overflowing water
will heal your unsatisfied heart

Beyond imagination

A place where nobody can stand

As long as you have compassion and affection

You will get love

[Mushoku Tensei
Jobless Reincarnation]

So... What do you plan to do?

After assisting you in your delivery,

I'm thinking about leaving, madam.

What do you plan to do with your child?

I'm thinking about raising
the child in my hometown.

It's about a month if you
travel to the south by horse, right?

Yes.

You'll lose a lot of strength after giving birth.

You won't be able to
endure the long journey, will you?

You're probably right,
but I don't have anywhere else to go.

Um, darling, this is too...

You shut up!

A month...

A newborn child and
the mother, travel alone.

I don't know how safe it is
outside the village,

But I guess this world is not rosy enough
for them to travel safely.

Just as Zenith said,

if Lilia collapses midway,
the child won't survive either.

Even if Lilia survives,
what about the child?

Can a newborn baby endure
a one-month-long journey?

It's impossible.

I can already imagine Lilia collapsing
in the snow holding the baby.

And it looks like Zenith is struggling too.

Although Lilia is the maid,

they've been living together
and getting along all this time.

I don't want Lilia to die like that either.

She prepares me a cloth when I sweat.

Prepares me hot bath
when I get wet in the rain.

Prepares me a fur coat on cold nights

Tidies up the books that I scatter.

And most importantly...

Despite knowing the existence of "deity",

she's keeping it as a secret.

Let's return the favour right now.

Mum, I've got two siblings at the same time,

so why is the atmosphere so heavy?

Because your dad and Lilia
did something that they must not do.

I see...

But can Lilia really go against Dad?

What do you mean?

Dad has something on Lilia.

-Eh?!
-Huh?!

I was passing by Lilia's room when I was
on my way to the toilet the other day,

and Dad said...

"If you don't want anyone to know,

just do as I say and spread your legs."

Rudy! What nonsense are y...

You shut up!

That's...

Lilia, is that true?

No, it's not...

I know... You can't say it yourself...

No, I-I didn't... do that...

Paul helped me make up with Sylphy.

But he deserves it this time.

Sorry, but I'll return that favour another time.

Mum. I don't think Lilia is at fault.

It's Dad's fault.

That's right.

It would be wrong if Lilia suffers
because of Dad's fault.

You're... right...

I'm having fun every day
spending time with Sylphy.

Wouldn't it be nice if the child
to be born could have friends too?

You're... right...

Also, Mum, both of them are my siblings.

Mum...

I don't want to say
goodbye to Lilia yet.

I got it. Jeez, you b*at me, Rudy.

It did take me a lot of effort, Mama.

Lilia, you're staying here.

You're already our family!

I won't allow you to leave on your own!

Well, looks like it'll be fine.

As for the future, it's up to Paul's effort.

Jeez, what a troublesome playboy.

I won't help you again, Señor.

Darling.

Let's have a really good talk later.

D-Dad! Don't take it out on me!

Why was I saved?

It's my fault that I got pregnant.

It's me who lured Paul.

D-Darling...

Even as the maid, listening to their
moaning every single night,

my sex drive keeps building up.

Or rather, I'm amazed that
I had endured it all this time.

I should've received punishment.

The punishment of losing myself
to lust, and betraying Zenith.

But I was forgiven.

Rudeus forgived me.

The boy managed to accurately
understand what happened,

guided the conversation precisely,

and even reached an agreement beautifully.

I've been avoiding him all this time.

I was afraid of him. Afraid of Rudeus.

As a baby, he looked at
my chest with a dreadful smile.

It was creepy. I thought
he was possessed by a devil.

No, that doesn't matter anymore.

He is my lifesaver.

I have to spend my whole life
to return the favour.

If the baby in my belly is born
and raised successfully,

I will let my child serve Rudeus...
Rudeus-sama.

Norn, Aisha, this is papa.

Papa is gone!

Every single day...

Do you have nothing else to do, Paul...?

Parenting really is a lot of trouble...

Exactly! This is real parenting!

It was way too easy with Master Rudeus!

There, there.

Darling, if you're free,
can you go fetch some water?

Oh, would you please buy some candles too?

Sure.

Sylphy... I think I'll aim at becoming a
cool and respectable big brother.

Eh?

Since that day, Lilia started talking to me.

Surprisingly, Lilia and Paul was learning
swordsmanship at the same dojo...

when they were young.

Paul was talented, but he hated practising
and played around at that time.

At the end, he violated her
in bed and took her virginity,

And then escaped from the dojo.

What a rascal.

Rudy.

It's time for training.

If you keep making moves like that,

you'll be at beginner level forever.

To say the least, Paul is a scum.

But I acknowledge this
good-for-nothing man. Why?

Because he's strong.

There're three major schools
of swordsmanship:

Sword God Style, Water God Style
and North God Style.

He's at advanced level in every style.

Hey! That's against the rules!

You might be a bit talented in magic,

But you're helpless at swordsmanship.

What's wrong? Why are you staring at me.

You wanna become a cool man like your Dad?

You mean a man who cheated on his wife
and almost destroyed his family is cool?

Well, if you've learnt from it,

keep your hands away from
anyone else besides Mum.

I-I can still do it with Lilia, right?

I guess next time Mum's gonna go back
to her parents' without saying anything...

If you're a man, you get it too, don't you?

What do you expect from a 7-year-old kid?

You're having your eyes
on Sylphy-chan too, aren't you?

That girl is gonna become
a beauty in the future, you know?

I guess so. I think she's cute enough
as she is right now though.

So you do get it.

Well, yeah.

Paul is a scummy rascal,

but somehow we have good chemistry.

Mentally, I'm a former NEET who's over 40 too.

A genuine scum.

Oh right, Rudy. About school...

I guess it's not necessary.

It's nothing. Let's go back to training.

School...

Hm? Well...

Normally, people start
going to school at your age.

I know.

It's not necessary for you, is it?

You can read and write,
and even calculate, you know?

Well, yeah...

Although, school huh...

Are you interested?

Forget it!

Schools are full of brats from rich families.

Someone like you will
most definitely be bullied.

What's more, girls in those
schools never exercise,

so when you take off their clothes in bed,

you'd be surprised at how weak they are.

Your dad was fooled a bunch of times...

I see. What a pity.

I was thinking perhaps
there'd be cute girls there.

Oh! Are you getting
interested in women too?

But you'd better only chase after
one girl, you know?

Okay.

Sylphy is talented.

Perhaps she'll surpass me soon.

School huh...

Rudy, what shall we do today?

Rudy?

Oh, sorry, what?

Rudy, you're acting weird again recently.

People have been saying
I'm weird since I was born.

Not that...

Somehow, you don't look happy.

I'm stuck recently.

Neither my magic nor
swordsmanship has been improving much.

But... You're amazing, you know?

I guess it's true at my age right now.

Are you going somewhere?

Well, I guess there's little
I can do in this village...

S-Sylphiette-san?

Don't... Don't!

N-No... Don't go anywhere...

I got it, I got it.

I'm not going anywhere...

Just where am I going
leaving behind a girl like her?

Improving my magic?

Even if it improves more, so what?

Rather than that, let's relax and
spend time with Sylphy in this village.

Right? Let's do this. Let's do this.

We'll grow up together,

and let's make her a woman to my liking.

Sylphy!!

Hey Rudy!

I-If you have nothing to do, just get out!

You have a letter!

Letter?

To Rudeus.

How have you been since then?

Time flies, and it's been
two years since I left.

Right now, I'm staying
in the Shirone Kingdom.

I was hired as the tutor of the 7th prince.

The prince is very similar to you.

He's not as good as you,

but he's smart and quick to understand magic.

Just like you, he also peeks when I change
clothes, and steals my underwear.

I guess all great men like women.

Got you!

Oh right, I finally learnt to
cast Water-King ranked magic.

I thought I couldn't go further,

but I guess you'll be able to
if you keep trying.

Since it's Rudy,

I wonder if you've already learnt
to cast emperor ranked magic.

I'm both excited and scared of
meeting you again.

I'll work hard so that you won't
call me unskilful and laugh at me.

Also, although my worries
are probably needless,

if you stop making much progress in magic,

Please apply for Ranoa Magic University
which I've mentioned before.

That's it, I'll write to you again.

From Roxy.

Master...

So Roxy-chan finally reached
Water-king rank.

That's amazing.

Is it amazing?

Of course, it is.

All around the world, I believe
there're only 5 people at most...

who can cast King ranked magic.

By the way... Did you steal
Roxy-chan's underwear?

Oh, crap...

I feel like I got reminded
of my pathetic situation.

Dammit. I don't want to be
discouraged by Roxy...

Ranoa Magic University, huh...

Dad, can I ask for something selfish?

No.

Rudy, you can ask for anything.

Your dad will try to figure it out.

This is when your dignity and
abilities as a husband are tested.

Rudy is prefacing.

There's no way I'd be able t...

Actually, I haven't been
making much progress lately,

So I'd like to enrol in
Ranoa Magic University...

Oh?

When Sylphy sensed it,

she cried and told me
she didn't want me to leave.

You ladykiller. Who did you
inherit this from? Huh?

I'd like to go to the same school with her,

But her family is not as rich as us.

Therefore, I'm thinking if you could pay
the tuition of both of us.

Please.

You two going to Ranoa together...

You can't.

There're a couple of reasons.

Firstly, you're still practising sword.

As your master, I can't let you go right now.

What's more, you're smart,
but you're still young.

I can't give up my responsibility as a parent.

Finally, the money problem.

We can probably afford your tuition,

but we can't afford both of yours.

Our family is not rich enough to
spend money as if it's water.

I see... I got it.

-In that case, can I ask something else?
-Okay.

Help me find a job.

I'd like it to come with
as much wage as possible.

Job? Why?

Until Dad acknowledges me
and allows me to leave home,

I'll earn money for Sylphy's tuition.

That's not a good thing for Sylphy.

Yes. But I figured it's
probably a good thing for me.

I got it. In that case,
I'll see if I can find someone to help.

Thank you very much.

Hey, long time no see, Ghislaine.

Yeah.

A-A beast is here!

Ghislaine!!

Long time no see. Are you doing okay?

Yeah.

Is this your kid?

Yes, this is Norn.

I'm glad she's not like Paul.

Since you're here, it means
you can do that, right?

Yeah.

Take care of our Rudeus.

Yeah.

Master Rudeus.

I'll feel lonely.

Take care.
I can't wait to see you back home.

Please wait, what on earth...

Hey, Rudy.

Yes, what is it?

What would you think if I tell you
to keep some distance from Sylphy?

Huh? Of course, I don't want to.

I figured that...

Why are you asking?

Nah, nothing.

I can't win even if I try to persuade you.

Water God Style!

I'm glad this is a wooden sword...

Ouch...

Darn you, Paul, what did you do...?

What happened?

Hello. My name is Rudeus Greyrat.

Considering that you're Paul's son,
you're polite.

I'm Ghislaine. I look forward to
working with you starting tomorrow.

Well, thank you.

I look forward to working with you.
