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

Aisha! Take this seriously!

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!

That's the spirit, Quagmire!

H-Hey!

Rudy?!

That's our boss!

No more stunts like that at school.

I'm jealous, you lucky bastard!

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!

A-All right. I can hardly wait.

Morning.

Morning.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Anyway, since you're back at school,

I assume you won't be going anywhere for a while.

Nope.

Good.

I can continue my experiments, then.

Rudeus!

Cliff. Good morning.

Lise told me that you came back with her,

but would it have killed you to come say hello?

Sorry.

I did drop by, but...

you seemed busy with Elinalise.

I... I see.

Well, I can't blame you for that, then.

It was partly my fault.

Still, you could have come to tell me your child was born.

Th-That's fair.

I'm sure the baby's keeping you busy,

but I'd almost think you've been avoiding me lately.

Maybe I have been.

He's a follower of Millis,

so I did figure he'd hassle me for having two wives.

Or is there some reason you didn't want to see me?

The thing is,

I've taken a second—

Good morning.

Now, take your seats.

I am Roxy Migurdia Greyrat.

As of today, she will be teaching at the Ranoa University of Magic.

I will assist her at first, but she will be your class's new advisor,

so I hope you will all be on your best behavior.

I believe I've already been introduced to many of you,

but I am the second wife of Rudeus Greyrat there.

No doubt we will be on different terms as teacher and students,

but I look forward to getting to know you.

Well, now...

Your second wife?

Rudeus, is being faithful completely beyond you?

Yes. I do think I could have been a little better at it.

I blessed you that day because you said you'd love Sylphie alone, you know?

I know, and I'm deeply grateful for your kind words then.

I know you're not a follower of Millis, of course, so I'll leave it at that.

In fact, I'll celebrate.

Congratulations.

Thank you very much.

I see your sister at the church in town sometimes.

She told me she wanted to have a happy marriage

like you and Sylphie someday.

What did she say to you when you brought a second wife home?

She was furious.

I'll bet she was!

She prayed for your and your father's safe return almost every day.

I'm sure she was delighted that you did come home alive.

But now that she's lost her father, you're all she has left.

Don't you think you should give more thought to how Norn feels?

I do.

It isn't good to have too many spouses.

Right.

So, um, Cliff...

Yes, Rudeus?

You've been keeping an eye on Norn for me, huh? Thank you.

I only gave her someone to talk to since I spotted her in church.

Oh, and another thing.

You shouldn't let a girl her age walk around town alone.

This is a safe neighborhood, but there are kidnappers in the backstreets.

True. I'll take that to heart.

Will you really? You're always—

Now, now. Why don't you leave it at that?

After all, he has come back to us alive and well.

Well, he does seem repentant.

I'll forgive you your sins.

Great Millis is magnanimous.

I appreciate it.

Lise told me the story,

but was the thing that took your hand really that dangerous?

It was a hydra that magic had no effect on.

It was immune to magic?

I can understand why you struggled, then.

I'm amazed you beat it.

Only thanks to my dad.

We did win, but we lost a lot, too.

Master, please wait a moment.

Look at this.

What is it?

The thing I mentioned to you in the classroom.

The fruits of our research.

Now, hold out your left arm.

S-Sure.

Won't it fall off?

The incantation is "O Earth, become my arm."

Pardon?

Go ahead. Recite it.

"O Earth, become my arm."

Wh-Whoa!

It moves! It moves!

Here, Rudeus.

Amazing! I can even feel the fingertips!

What is this thing?

A magical implement that moves as you will it to!

While analyzing the automaton,

I turned to Cliff for assistance, and we managed to reach this point!

With it, I can restrain my freakish strength and sculpt figurines.

That's incredible!

If you want force, it gets stronger the more mana you feed it.

Oh?

You're angry about what I said earlier, aren't you?!

We didn't know if you could operate it with a missing hand, but it seems fine.

Hey, can I do magic with this hand?

Would you let go of me already—

Well, shall we experiment?

Don't grip tighter!

What's that?

Another duel, maybe?

Really?

All ready!

Okay. Give it a try.

Here goes.

It looks like you can cast spells while wearing it without an issue.

Yes.

Magnificent, Master! You never disappoint!

This is one hell of an invention. Honestly, I'm floored.

Thank you!

I would gladly give you that hand, if you wish.

You mean it?

Yes. It's only a prototype, but it should be better than nothing.

And with you and Cliff to help me, I can make a similar piece in no time.

Speaking of which, does this magical implement have a name?

We haven't given it one yet.

Neither Cliff nor I have much talent for naming things.

Since you're here, would you name it for us?

Oh, yes. Please do.

In that case, I'll take from both your names and call it the "Hand of Zaliff."

You left out your own name.

That's fine. I didn't help make it.

I would hardly say that you played no part...

But very well.

In that case,

that hand is the Hand of Zaliff, prototype number one.

Welcome home, Big Brother!

Would you like dinner? A bath?

Or maybe...

little... old... me?

In that case... I think I'll have you!

Cootchie-cootchie-coo!

Big Brother's attacking me!

Huh?

I'm home.

Is that prosthetic hand a magical implement?

Yes. It's the fruit of Zanoba and Cliff's research.

That amazing. It moves like a real hand.

This range of motion should be enough to get through everyday life.

And...

I can have my fill of both of you!

Really, Rudy.

Hey! Where do you think you're touching?

Brother, you're embarrassing me.

Dinner! Dinner! Dinner is served!

Today's menu is pretty much the same as usual.

Aisha!

I know.

Thank you for this meal.

So much has happened since the mass teleportation in Fittoa.

Adventuring on the Demon Continent, parting ways with Eris,

curing my condition, marrying Sylphie,

reuniting with Roxy, rescuing Mom...

I've lost things along the way,

but I've gotten back to regular old life.

I'm going to keep on treasuring this "normal."

I've gotten my peaceful life back,

so here I am again, praying silently.
