Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (無職転生 ～異世界行ったら本気だす～)

III

Mushoku Tensei

Jobless Reincarnation

I beheld a deity.

A deity in repose, like the Buddha.

A sacred personage, to whom I must show no disrespect.

Her waist does not curve.

Her physique makes one wonder if she might be too young.

Could that be a sacred urna there on her chest?

It's chilly.

We've both been through a lot,

but I'm glad to be married to Roxy like this.

Whoops.

Time's tight in the mornings. We've got to get up.

Roxy, wake up. It's morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

What are you looking so disappointed for?

Oh, I just wished I could take a good look at you in a better light.

Honestly.

We need to hurry. Everyone else must be up by now.

Right!

Morning, Sylphie.

Morning, Rudy.

Lucie is doing well as ever.

Morning, Lucie.

Despite all my worrying,

Lucie is growing fast.

And Sylphie's been well since giving birth.

They're both the picture of health.

Our little girl is cute as ever.

She sure is. I wonder how she can be so adorable.

Because her mommy's just as cute, I'll bet.

Oh, you.

Thanks, Rudy.

Morning, Roxy.

G-Good morning.

Um... Roxy,

how was Rudy last night?

Oh, uh, well, he was good to me.

Rudy was gentle, and—

I'm, um, sorry.

You've got nothing to apologize for.

You think so?

I do.

Morning, Norn.

Good morning, Brother.

I wrote up a little more of Ruijerd's story.

Would you mind reading it over?

Of course.

I planned to make a book to clear the Superds' name,

but Norn's mostly taken over writing it.

She's still learning, but I can tell she's trying her best,

so I bet she'll turn out a better story than I could.

I'm looking forward to it.

Morning, Mom.

Mom, it's Rudeus.

It's been months since we returned to Sharia,

but Zenith's memory hasn't returned.

She is changing little by little, but all I can do for now is wait and see.

Breakfast! Breakfast!

Breakfast is served!

Good morning, Big Brother, my lady.

Morning, Aisha.

What's for breakfast today?

It's pretty much the same as usual!

Aisha.

Stop being difficult and tell him what we're having.

Yoco bean and tuber soup and wheat bread with nourishing mare's milk!

Master Rudeus, Madam Sylphiette, Madam Roxy, good morning.

Good morning, Lilia.

Aisha and Lilia are running the house as our maids, the same as ever.

Now, Aisha, we must serve the food before it gets cold.

Sure thing!

Breakfast! Breakfast! Breakfast is served!

Aisha! Take this seriously!

Aisha's a handful, and Lilia scolds her a lot, but they both seem happy.

We were scattered all over the world,

but managed to come together as a family again.

That's enough to make me happy now.

Well then, let's dig in.

Sylphie and I are going back to school today.

And we're not the only ones.

Is something wrong?

No, nothing at all.

Are you sure?

Say, have you already introduced Roxy to everyone at school?

Yes.

When I recommended Master Roxy to the university as an instructor,

I told everyone how wonderful she was while I showed her around campus!

She's such a sublime person that learning about her lofty nature

could only ever be a plus to them all in whatever they do!

That's so like you.

I appreciate you introducing me to so many people, Rudy,

but you always told them I was your "master" and never that I'm your "wife."

Rudy?

I... I'm so sorry, Roxy.

Oh, my sweetheart.

But I really do love you.

Th-Thank you very much.

Hey, Rudy, don't you have anything to say to me?

Of course I love you, too, Sylphie.

I love...

both of you!

H-Hey!

Rudy?!

That's the spirit, Quagmire!

That's our boss!

I'm jealous, you lucky bastard!

No more stunts like that at school.

Definitely not.

Brother, you're embarrassing me.

Bye, then. I'm going this way.

Sure. Good luck with your lessons.

Thank you.

Brother, I'm coming home again today.

Morning.

What took you so long?

Morning.

Morning, Norn.

Norn is popular, I see.

She is cute.

It's because everyone can tell how hard she's working.

It makes you want to root for her.

As her brother, I'm glad she's popular,

but if any of those guys try anything with Norn, I'll make them regret it.

There's no way I'll let some shady stranger have my little sister.

We should go shopping in town sometime.

Hey! Norn's going with us!

Right, Dad?

Let's all go together, then.

Come in.

Pardon us.

P-Pardon us.

I've been expecting you.

Rudeus, you'll be returning to your studies today?

Yes. The other day was only a greeting, but I'll be under your tutelage again.

We're glad to have you back.

And Roxy, this will be your first day teaching here.

Are you nervous?

Yes...

Master.

How you've changed. What happened to the Roxy who said she needed no teacher?

True. I'm surprised myself.

I was full of myself back then.

But now, I think I can understand a little of the joys of teaching others.

We're glad to have you, Instructor Roxy.

Thank you!

Well then, I'll go to class ahead of you.

All right. See you later.

Good morning.

Huh... Guess I'm the first one here.

Oh, boss.

Good meowning.

Morning.

Morning, you two.

We were watching mew, boss.

Must be nice, showing up to school with two women in tow.

How could you ditch us and bring home your second? Nuhni.

We graduate this year, so we're gonna find someone, meow.

That's right. This year, we duel.

We'll find ourselves men to take home.

I'll find myself a good one, meow!

They've always acted like they didn't have time for romance,

but I guess seeing me with a beauty on each arm has them jealous.

Master!

Master, it's you! Good morning.

Good morning, Grand Master.

Morning, Zanoba.

You, too, Julie. Morning.

Since you're in the classroom, will you be rejoining us?

Yeah. We can do more research together.

That's perfect, then.

I have something I'd like you to look at later.

You have something new?

Only the fruits of the past six months' research!
