Hello, I'm the former shut-in NEET Rudeus.

Today I'm here at the popular free apartment with zero security deposit and zero rent.

It is built with warm wood, something like Japanese beech.

It comes with a bed,

but the drawback is that some bugs are surrounding it.

A toilet is equipped too.

I guess you just poop into this hole.

I'm a bit concerned about hygiene as a modern kid,

But even so, it's a bargain for the price.

After all, the rent is zero.

It's worth mentioning that it comes with breakfast and dinner.

The food here is quite nice.

I have no idea what meat this is,

but for anyone who's been used to living on Demon Continent,

you'd find it really delicious.

Now, let's talk about the highlight of this apartment.

Reassuring security.

Just look at the firm lattice.

It's as steady as rock.

No thief would look at this and want to get in.

But amazingly,

criminals do get in here.

After all...

it's a prison.

The trees resound

I hold my breath

Without knowing each other's names,

I entrust myself to them

Deep in the forest,

A slight sunbeam filters through

Somehow, it feels like the warmth of mother

Oh, the fate left by people from the past

Engraved on my aching heart

Oh, the voice, the tree spirits

Let me hear the words of your desire

Proceeding through the mist

Before we wander around and meet each other

(Mushoku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation)

Now, what do I do from now on...?

It's easy to disable the lock with magic and escape,

but I'm in the middle of a forest...

It's not funny if I get lost after the escape.

I'm innocent! I didn't do anything!

I happened to know that the kids were kidnapped...

You pervert!

To think that they'd strip me naked, dump cold water on me,

and even verbally abuse me.

What are they gonna do about it if I develop some weird fetish?

God, please protect me.

Right now, I shouldn't act on my own.

Let's wait until Ruijerd and Eris come...

Looks like people here just won't listen to me, and it's troublesome.

Despite you having huge ears...

Ruijerd is so slow...

Did something happen?

Don't tell me, he later got into a fight with the old man who chased after him...

Or perhaps something happened to Eris...?

Nah, I'm sure those two can't be beaten.

it's only been 3 days.

There's no need to panic.

Good things come to those who wait, right?

Bored...

That hurts!

Darn you! Treat me nicer!

Welcome, to the last stop of your life.

What's wrong, newbie?

Well... Why're you so arrogant despite being naked?

Hey, newbie! Watch your mouth!!

I'm the senpai here.

O-Okay...

Well, make yourself at home.

So? Why were you thrown in here?

Well, they found out I was cheating in games.

Oh, gambling, huh?

Was it rock-paper-scissors? Or Steel Frame Crossing?

What's that? I cheated in dice games.

What about you, Senpai?

I hugged a silver dog, and then got thrown in here.

Oh, that was you?

People have been talking about you.

That the "Sacred" Beast of Doldia was attacked by the "Sex" Beast.

Who came up with that pun?

What's your name, newbie?

I'm Geese.

I see. I'm Rudeus.

Rudeus...

I've heard that name somewhere...

It's just a common name.

You're right.

Oh, by the way, I apologize for the sudden question,

but did you see a red-haired girl and a big bold guy nearby

who are looking for me?

Why are you suddenly being so polite? Stop that, Senpai.

I'm here due to false charges.

But it's taking my comrades forever to come and save me.

Well, how do I put it...

I'm sorry to hear that.

Hey, stop that.

You're making it sound like I'm abandoned.

They're just too busy looking for the kids' parents or something, right?

That's the spot...

You're pretty good at this, newbie.

Because I can do everything.

Oh? Like beating up a dragon with bare hands?

Nah, I can't do such things.

I'm poor at fighting.

Like doing it with 100 women at the same time?

One would be enough.

Two at most.

Like escaping from here to Zanto Port?

Do you plan to escape?

I'm getting worried about my comrades.

I don't wanna. Escape on your own if you want.

Why?! At least consider being my guide until I'm halfway through!

I've got something I gotta do too.

It's fine if you're innocent, right?

They'll understand.

No matter how many times I try, they won't even listen!

I got it.

I'll hold the guard hostage and have them show me the way to town!

H-Hey, calm down for a sec, Senpai!

Let me go, newbie!

I'm mad!

I'm gonna burn up this forest too!

Huh?

The young lady guarding us is gone.

Hey, newbie. Is it getting hot in here?

Now that you mention, it does feel hot.

Also, it's somehow smoky...?

Did you do that, Senpai?

So it means...?

A fire!!

T-This is bad, Senpai!

We'll be burnt alive at this rate!

What do we do?!

O-Of course we're getting out!

B-But we don't have the key?!

No problem.

Alright, let's go!

Oh, impressive! As expected of Senpai!

This is horrible...

People have been talking about these guys lately.

They kidnap and sell kids of beast race...

No matter how you look at it...

Aren't they going too far...?

Honestly, I'm mad at the people in this village.

They locked me in prison and wouldn't let me explain.

I think it's fair for them to suffer just for a bit.

Mum, Dad!!

But even so, this scene...

is way too disturbing for me.

What do we do, Senpai?

This is the perfect chance if we're escaping.

Make them owe us one...

Eh? What did you say?

We'll help the beast race and make them owe us one!

Okay, I like that!

C-Come at me.

Ouch!

Okay!

As much cold air as possible...!

Amazing!!

Senpai, you're so good!

There's a magician.

Kill him!

I won't let you lay a finger on Senpai!

This is bad.

Should we retreat for now...?

I don't know who you are, but thanks for your assistance!

You!

We'll talk later.

If my nose were good, you wouldn't be here earlier than me!

That's so cool...

I'm taking the kids back.

Will you help me?

Understood!

Shut up and get in already!

Are you okay?

Y-Yes... Thank you.

I'm glad you're okay.

They're capturing the kids in our village...!

Hey, hey.

Stop it.

Just as I thought, it was you...

Pet Owner, why are you with those guys?

While the red-haired brat and the fake Superd guy

are still busy dealing with the Beast Warrior group.

I was wondering why they haven't shown up.

So something did happen to them...

Senpai, you know him?

Yes, just a bit.

Will you read the room, Pet Owner?

You managed to cross the sea thanks to me.

You mean you used us, right?

Of course, I did.

Normally, why would I ask you

to set free the kids that we worked so hard to kidnap?

You guys were the bait.

To distract the Doldia guys.

I thought so.

Well, I did figure there was something fishy about this...

Say, Pet Owner.

Join our side.

Did you know? Beast brats sell really well.

Some aristocrat loves them and pays a lot.

What a disgusting pervert!

It can't be them, right...?

Sorry, I refuse.

So Dead End wants to pretend to be men of justice?

We want people to see us in that way.

I see. You just made the wrong choice, you know?

Hey, hey, Senpai!

That's not looking good.

It's North God Style!

You know a lot, monkey bastard.

I'm North-Saint Cleaner Garus.

Now, come at me, Pet Owner.

Or did you get cold feet after seeing that,

so now you're thinking about overlooking this, you coward?

What a coward, holding hostage...!

I'd say that, but...

This guy... is strong...

Perhaps I may as well overlook this?

Unlike Ruijerd,

I'm not so righteous that I'd risk my life to save some kids who I don't know.

You're really not coming? So boring.

Alright then, Pet Owner.

Contact me anytime if you wanna join us.

H-Help me...!!

Are you fine with that...?!

What the!?

You bastard...

Now you've done it!

As expected of Senpai.

Don't forget to bury my bones.

Now I have no choice but to do this...

I'll just fight him with all I can...

Sorry, Garus-san.

Dead End can't be evil.

Darn it. That's not funny at all.

Naive!

I can see it. I can do this!

Game over, Pet Owner!

Don't get in my way!

Go!

Did we do it...?

We did it... We did it! Senpai!!

S-Senpai?

Senpai!!

Rudeus!

Eris...

This place is...?

The house of Dedoldia's patriarch.

I heard about it!

You beat a North Saint, right?!

The guy with a monkey face told me excitedly.

Did I... win...?

Against a North Saint...?

Sorry!

We had no idea you were the hero who saved the kids!

I, Gyes, am prepared for any punishment.

You can boil me or burn me as you want!

Rudeus-domo.

As Dedoldia's patriarch, I'd like to express my gratitude once again.

Thank you so much.

Speaking of which, you two arrived quite late.

Did something happen?

I was really worried.

That's right!

Listen to me! It was a lot of trouble!

Eris told me excitedly about what happened

during the week when I was in prison.

First, Ruijerd met the patriarch Gustav afterwards,

and got misunderstood, just like me,

then almost got into a fight with the Doldia Warrior Group.

Well, Ruijerd is a poor talker.

I can imagine that.

After they resolved the misunderstanding,

they all went to penalize the remaining members of the smuggling ring...

Or should I say, exterminate.

After that, the officials at Zanto Port almost thought they were the smugglers.

Well, it was a lot of trouble.

Eris herself didn't participate in the operation,

but she was in charge of guarding the kids.

And she talked about that with a huge smile on her face...

I guess because she has the lineage of the Greyrat Family too.

Speaking of which, now that we're at the beasts' village,

we'll have a lot of stories to tell everyone at the Boreas Family.

Right! I'll boast to grandpa when we got home!

I want to meet him as soon as possible!

Lord of Fittoa Region, Sauros Boreas Greyrat.

In the mana calamity this time, you failed to take legitimate measures,

and caused chaos among people.

Therefore, you're removed from your position,

and you'll be executed immediately.

Just entrust Fittoa Region to me, Darius.

You scum.

Eris.

My beloved granddaughter.

If you're still alive.

Please, live on happily...

(Episode 14: Penny Wise and Pound Foolish)

The sky I used to watch by my window

Was it the same sky as the one above me now?

The dusk looks dyed

As if it can read my mind

At the place where we left behind our innocent days

The wind is blowing as if it's welcoming us

Please don't change

The streets, the people

Please all be exactly as I dreamed of them

Just like back in the day

I pray to the first star to appear

For a way back home
