Shit.

Is that any way to say hello? I see you haven't changed.

I'd finally managed to forget.

It's been a year since our last chat. Why the cold shoulder?

You've got a demon eye now thanks to me, remember.

If you'd given me better advice, I wouldn't have ended up in prison.

Or fought with Paul either.

Your adventures never cease to entertain.

But really, are you sure you want to blame me for everything?

Shit.

When I'm in this room, I go back to my old self.

I've turned over a new leaf! I know I have!

Oh, damn it!

Thanks! I'm grateful, all right?!

I wouldn't be here without you!

Now spit it out! What's your next hint?!

Wow. You don't usually come out and ask.

But I only want advice about one thing: Where is my family?

Doesn't your family live in some other world?

You know who I mean. Zenith, Lilia, and Aisha.

I'd also like to know about Sylphie, Ghislaine, Philip, and Sauros.

Hmm... Let me think about it.

Sorry, sorry. That was over the line.

In that case, I want you to promise me one thing.

What?

If the next advice I give you helps you reunite with your family,

I want you to trust me next time.

What, trust you and become your little puppet?

Oh, I'm not asking for that much.

Just, doesn't all this hostility every single time get exhausting?

It's exhausting even without the hostility.

I want to forget what I used to look like.

You shove it in my face and make me depressed.

Well, if you give me good advice this time, I'll consider it.

You'll trust me?

That depends on what comes next.

Okay! Got it. That'll do.

Now, allow me to offer you my advice.

Listen well, Rudeus.

Her name is Aisha Greyrat.

You will stumble upon this scene.

Huh? Hang on. What?

But you must not tell her your real name.

Use an alias and get her to explain her situation.

Then, send a letter to someone you know in the royal palace of Shirone.

Wait! Why is someone I know--

Do so, and you shall succeed

in rescuing both Lilia and Aisha from the palace of Shirone.

Huh? Lilia, too?

How? If they're in Shirone, they should have been found by--

What's wrong? Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Just some lingering seasickness from earlier.

Did he help me get a demon eye so he could show me that?

I don't understand.

What is he after?

We're finally here. The Central Continent.

I've never had it before, but this "rice" stuff isn't bad!

You try some, too, Rudeus! It's tasty!

Thank you very much.

"Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation"

So this is the capital of the Shirone Kingdom!

The Man-God told me to write to "someone I know."

He probably meant Roxy.

He also said I can save Lilia and Aisha that way.

But if Lilia and Aisha really are here, Roxy should have found them ages ago.

Your master lives here, doesn't she?

What's wrong, Rudeus?

You see, according to information I've received,

members of my family are imprisoned somewhere in this kingdom.

Really?

Oh? Your mother?

No, Lilia and Aisha. Our former maid and my little sister.

Your sister?

But she was in Millishion! She seemed full of herself.

I have two sisters.

So I'd be grateful

if you two would be willing to help me gather information.

If it's about your family, I guess I'll have to.

Yes.

Thank you very much.

Thank god they didn't ask where I got that info. For now, anyway.

Until I find out what that pale jerk is thinking,

I've got a feeling I should be careful who I tell about him.

Please deliver this letter to the royal palace.

That should do it. This letter will be out of nowhere.

I bet it'll surprise Roxy.

What now?

If I believe the Man-God,

I should search this huge city for the place he showed me in my dream.

Man. That sounds like hard work.

Still, why were soldiers arresting Aisha?

The Man-God made it sound like she was being held in the palace.

Who's there? Ruijerd?

No, Ruijerd is too good at shadowing people.

I'd never notice him.

It's not Eris either.

She wouldn't sneak around; she'd just come with me and not say anything.

So who is it?

Does someone in Shirone have a grudge against me?

No way. I only just got here.

Wait.

Isn't this...?

Huh? How'd he do that?

What?! No! Stop!

Give that back!

K-Keep it down.

I'm begging you.

Give me back my letter!

Please. Come on.

Sorry. We're just doing our jobs.

N-No! It's not what it looks like!

Huh?

Oh, well... That's kind of hard to believe.

Listen, son. Believe it or not, we're soldiers from the palace garrison.

We're just here to bring this girl home because she got lost.

Th-These guys stole my letter!

Why would you need to take a letter from a lost child?

Well, life's complicated for adults.

P-Please save me!

Incantation-less magic! Could you be...?!

Stop your resisting and hand over that girl.

We won't hurt you!

Please hold on tight.

Huh?

My name is Aisha Greyrat!

You have my sincere gratitude for rescuing me from that predicament!

Wow. I'm pretty sure she's six years old now.

She sure knows her manners.

Excuse me! Would you please tell me your name?

Huh? Oh...

My name is Shadow Moon Knight!

Wow! That's so cool!

I hate to be presumptuous when you've just rescued me, but may I make a request?

S-Sure.

My mother is imprisoned in the castle!

I want to send my father a letter to inform him!

I see.

That's what that letter was.

Between that and her vocabulary, she's grown into a clever girl.

But didn't your mother teach you that you need money to send a letter?

She taught me that if a little girl begs sweetly to send her father a letter,

other people will take care of the rest!

Dear me, Lilia. How mischievous you are.

I've been trying to contact my father, but the people in the castle won't let me.

Do you have, um, anyone else you can count on? Apart from your father?

I don't.

Like, a nice lady with blue hair who your mother knows?

Or maybe an older brother somewhere?

I do have a brother, but I can't count on him.

Why not?! Didn't I just rescue you in style?!

M-May I ask why not?

Of course you may!

There was a box in our house that my mother treasured.

She said not to touch it or look inside, so I asked her why not.

She told me that it held something that meant a lot to my brother.

So, when my mother was away, I snuck a peek inside.

And what do you think I found there?!

I-I really can't imagine.

Panties!

At age four or five, my brother was devoted to a pair of women's underwear!

And quite a small pair, too!

By my calculations, they belonged to a girl of about 14.

"Calculations"? I-Is she maybe a little too smart for her age?

I mean, she's only six, right?

B-But that could be a misunderstanding, couldn't it?

No. I surreptitiously got my mother to verify it.

My brother spied on that lady in the bath and on my father and his wife in bed.

It sounds like he was shameless.

It seems my mother is trying to hide it, but I'm certain.

My older brother is undeniably...

...a pervert!

I-I see. Your brother is a pervert.

That must be rough.

I never saw this coming.

Damn it. I see now. So that's how it is.

That's why the Man-God told me to use an alias.

It all makes sense now.

That reminds me! What's your real name, Mr. Knight?

That's a secret.

People know me as the "Kennel Master" of Dead End.

You're called Kennel Master? There must be a story behind that.

It sounds cool!

All right. I'm going to rescue your mother.

Huh? Isn't that awfully sudden?

Don't worry. I understand the situation.

Leave this to me! I'll show you what the Kennel Master is made of!

So, from now on, please call me "Kennel Master" when she's around.

What should we do that for?

It seems that she's been given a mistaken impression of her brother.

So I'm hoping to correct that by showing her my good side.

I think you're plenty good just the way you are.

Eris...

Why do you make gross faces whenever I compliment you?!

Still, if that's how things are, let's charge right in!

I haven't assaulted a castle in ages.

Whoa! Hang on!

What?

Well, let's wait to hear from my master. Okay?

Oh, come on!

What a bunch of hotheads.

Good morning!

I'll be right there!

Would you be Lord Rudeus?

I would.

I am a member of the seventh prince of Shirone's royal guard.

My name is Ginger York.

A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Lord Rudeus, may I ask you to accompany me to the royal palace?

On what business?

Pardon me. Lady Roxy has summoned you.

P-Please wait a moment.

It sounds like it's not about Aisha.

What's going on?

I'm going out for a bit.

You're making a lot of effort.

I haven't seen my master in a long time.

You'd better introduce me to her, okay?

Yes, of course.

You'll have time once this is over.

Will you be all right alone?

Don't worry. I'll run at the first sign of trouble.

Please look after Aisha.

I understand!

Take care, Rudeus!

What?

Roxy lives in this castle.

Lady Roxy informed me that you are a genius

who mastered incantation-less casting at a young age.

Master said that about me?

Lady Roxy often boasted about you.

She said that she wasn't really worthy of being your teacher.

That's an exaggeration.

This way, please.

Huh?

Really?

Thank you for your service.

Huh?

Didn't I see you yesterday?

Pardon me. May I take your staff and bags?

Huh? Oh, here.

Oh well.

I should focus on Roxy for now. I mean, I haven't seen her in seven years.

I have so much to tell her.

Lord Rudeus, um...

Yes?

Never mind. It's nothing.

Hm?

This is Ginger!

I have brought Lord Rudeus!

Enter.

A man's voice?

Don't tell me...

Well now.

So this is Rudeus.

Is this him?

Is this walking barrel Roxy's--

L-Lilia?

Huh? What's going on?

Where's Roxy? Huh?

Drop him.

Huh?

Ow.

What the hell?

Huh?

It's useless! Useless!

That magic circle is a king-class barrier I had built to capture Roxy!

You're totally powerless against it!

Who are you?

I am Pax!

Pax Shirone, the seventh prince of Shirone!

So I've been lured into a trap.

Very well.

I apologize for yesterday.

But first, please call Roxy. I'm her former student and--

Roxy's not here.

Huh?

Roxy's not here!

I'm going to use you as bait to lure her in!

What a surprise! I never expected Roxy's lover to visit Shirone!

Huh? Are you talking about me?

Huh? Aren't you?

Th-Thank god.

It sounds like I haven't been cuckolded by this creep.

Perish the thought! I wouldn't dare!

I am but her utterly unworthy apprentice!

Oh well. It seems like Lilia wasn't good enough,

but you'll make the perfect bait!

I'll keep Roxy as my personal sex slave to the end of her days!

I'll force her to bear me five heirs!

Um, may I ask you a question?

What?

Oh, I know! The first time, I'll rape her right in front of you!

Then, I'll lop off your head

and go for round two as despair fills her face!

I didn't hear anything about Lilia until I got here.

So, um, how is Roxy supposed to find out that you've captured me?

Roxy is smart! She'll hear about it somehow!

No, unless you spread information or let us call for help,

I'm pretty sure no one will come.

You turned up, didn't you?!

Huh?! Well, that's because...

You've got your incantation-less magic,

but it looks like my authority was stronger!

Oh, I can't wait! I just can't wait!

I hope Roxy gets here soon.

There's no way in hell.

Anyway, have you still not found Aisha?!

The men reported that they destroyed her letter. Need we pursue her further?

Yes! Absolutely! Find her!

Don't you care what happens to your family?

I will dispatch a search party.

Damn it! You're all completely useless!

I met Aisha just like in the Man-God's vision.

I used a fake name, and I sent a letter to Roxy.

I've followed his instructions to the letter.

Hang on. Did he pull a fast one on me?
