(Mushoku Tensei II: Jobless Reincarnation)

So, what color do you think it is?

A wonderful pink.

No, it has a slight tint of orange to it.

For me...

How the cherry blossom color pops up is really to my liking.

But, Lady Ariel, the folded-up part toward the inner also good on its own.

Oh my, are you saying that a hollow thing is good, Luke?

Personally, I prefer bigger.

You really have no taste.

Lady Ariel, you are a person who is going to become this country's ruler.

It is not advised to make enemies based on trivial rumors or personal feelings.

Here is the thing, Derrick.

You're always saying things like that,

but I'm only the second princess, you know?

I still have two older brothers and an elder sister.

As long as they are still on the line,

becoming the ruler is just a far-fetched fairytale for me.

But...!

Enjoying tea and being able to live freely is already more than enough for me.

Luke!

Lady Ariel, please make an escape!

Lady Ariel, I will make sure you'll become the ruler.

Luke! I'll leave the rest to you!

Lady Ariel!

Is this a dream?

It's not.

Where am I?

The Royal Palace of Asura Kingdom.

Who are you? Where did you come from?

Buena Village.

How did you get here?

I don't know.

I'm suddenly up in the sky.

Excuse me.

It seems the Fittoa region has completely vanished.

Your hometown is already no more.

Searching for your family and friends would be difficult.

Regarding your treatment,

it's likely you'll be facing punishment for trespassing the royal palace.

If you put this on and stay by my side,

I'll promise to help search for your family.

Don't worry. I'll be of use to you.

From this moment on, until the time arrives,

alter your name and appearance.

Lady Ariel, good morning.

Good morning.

Luke. Fitz.

Such a pleasant morning.

Luke, how is today's plan?

After breakfast, throughout the day there is a social gathering until noon.

Thereafter, there is a usual meeting with Sir Pilemon.

That's some stranger treatment.

Isn't he your father?

We are told to not mix public and private matters.

Oh, she's here!

It's Lady Ariel!

Everyone, good day to you all.

Good day.

Good day.

Good day.

Oh my.

Isn't this Sir Pilemon?

And here you are, Lady Ariel.

Be sure to attend the meeting at noon.

I know.

Oh?

Ariel and Sir Pilemon are here.

It seems like you two are in the middle of having some private discussions.

Brother Grabell, good day to you.

I guess we got found out.

Actually, we are having a secret talk about what would be today's desserts.

It is what it is.

Speaking of desserts...

Different from me whose child from the mistress,

my dear sister who has noble blood of queen consort

is rumored has been awakened to the charm of very luxurious cakes that have fruits topping.

What are you saying, dear brother?

Such extravagant cakes are still too soon for an amateur like me.

Sir Pilemon, you always save the fruit on top of the cake for the last.

It has always been snatched and eaten by others, right?

And it's outside of your expectation.

I wonder if such things happened.

You're old enough.

Rather than just give up your saved fruit to others,

isn't it a good time to choose who to give it to with your own decision?

Of course, I will only do so to none other than you!

That's good then.

Ariel, please let us hear your beautiful singing voice again next time.

You should only be on the front stage when you're singing.

Such an uncanny fellow.

Are you perhaps talking about Lady Ariel's movement?

Not limited to that.

Who was it again?

The elf with weird glasses.

The "Silent Fitz", huh?

Let alone a laugh, there is nobody who saw her ever speaks.

Your body sways, you know.

I know standing for a long time makes your legs tired, but hang in there.

And make sure your vision is always on to Lady Ariel.

Isn't it Madam Hermes? You're such a sight to behold, too, today.

Oh my! Sir Luke and your flattery.

Is your father, Sir Pilemon, in good health?

Yes. If I recall, he's right over there.

I'll leave my post for a while.

Don't relax too much.

So that's the rumored Silent Fitz.

He doesn't really look like a noble.

There are such many nobles in the Mage order.

And yet, no family name and no info on his personal history.

But Lady Ariel had to experience that incident, you know.

It's unthinkable to want someone half-baked by her side.

Sir Fitz, are you alright?

Here, let me lend you a hand.

Oh, such a slim and elegant hand.

You're right. It's just like a little girl's hand.

Towering castles, seas of abundant wheat

Ah, may the Asura Kingdom last forever

That's the song requested from my brother.

As expected from my dear sister!

Bravo!

Well then, everyone, once again...

Let us toast to the dazzling future of the Asura Kingdom!

Toast!

Such as always, Lady Ariel sure is popular.

You're saved because of Lady Ariel's quick thinking.

I'm sorry.

It's okay, Fitz.

You're my life savior.

If anything happens, Luke and I will be sure to save you.

We're already friends now, are we not?

Knight Order, Mage Order, Imperial guards, and City guards.

Now we have finished the groundwork within those parties.

Lady Ariel?

Such a roundabout method, but I guess there's no other way.

The only thing I have to win against my brother is just my popularity.

However, there is nothing more changeable than popularity.

It is a must to solidify our footing.

Yes, I understand.

Until that time, try to not show any weakness.

Yes.

Luke, be sure to serve your role as Lady Ariel's guardian.

Understood!

Fitz, you have become accustomed to palace etiquette as well.

No, not quite yet.

The way your dedication and hard-working figure are making you look good.

I wonder about that.

At least the nobles seem doesn't take a bit of liking to me.

You don't have to pay heed to the uncertainty rumors of the masses.

I will still like you nonetheless.

Thank you so much.

Have you found the whereabouts of my friends or family, Lady Ariel?

It seems that some of them are scattered around the world.

Is that so?

I'm sorry. I can't do much with my power now.

It's fine! I can't achieve anything on my own after all, so I'm still thankful.

I have an idea, Fitz.

Come to my room tonight!

Huh?

I hear you're having trouble sleeping because of nightmares.

Don't you think sleeping together will ease it a little?

But...

Luke, say something here!

Isn't it fine? Just accept it as a reward.

Reward?

There's a report that Princess Ariel is sending spies to the guards.

Is she planning a coup d'état?

Nonsense. She is not that rash.

But maybe she's just adding a piece to her plan.

They are people with no insight into politics.

There are a lot of commoners within the guards.

I'm sure that Princess Ariel thinks they're easy to handle.

In other words, we have to lay our hands first.

To boot, she also has her personal guards.

I see.

When something occurs in the Royal Capital,

the actual action would be at the end.

So if we make it as if it was Ariel's doing,

a coup d'état is likely to happen.

It is quite a foresight.

What will you do?

You don't need to ask.

If they are bound to be opposing my lord, it's only obvious that I do what I must.

And by that, you mean?

Don't clean up the sprout, take the root instead.

I see.

I'll leave it to you, Darius.

Your wish is my command, Lord Grabell.

Uh, I have come just like you wished.

Thanks for coming.

Come, let's go to bed.

We just sleep together, right?

Yes, of course.

Your eyes are scaring me.

You're mean!

Well, maybe I'm just a little bit excited.

Come, you can lie on the bed.

You're still scaring me, Lady Ariel.

I'm not scary!

You can't, Lady Ariel! You know, don't you?

Of course I do!

So, I want you to get to know me too.

Just kidding.

Let's end the charade here.

Uh...

I said that we will just sleep together, didn't I?

Or maybe you are really hoping for me to assault you for real?

It makes me want to do it if you react like that.

We're just gonna sleep, for real.

I have been dreaming, too.

What dream?

Dreams about that day.

Nightmares about Derrick being killed by that monster, and then it kills me.

So you had bad dreams, too?

Yeah.

I don't know the pain you bear.

But on that day, I went through pain, the same as you.

When you feel pain, you can rely on someone else.

I'm relying on you too.

If I stay with the one who saved my life that day,

I might be able to avoid nightmares.

I'll be sure to follow through as your guardian.

That's some nice spirit.

Then, I'll be counting on you too when I'm troubled in my dream.

Well then, let's get some sleep.

Yes, Lady Ariel.

What is happening?

Please stay behind me!

Watch out!

Fitz!

Fitz?

Hang in there, Fitz!

What happened?!

Luke!

There has been an attack! Quick, call the medic!

Understood!

Stay with me! We'll save you!

Hang in there, Sylphy!

Sylphy!

The girl who attacked last night was the famous assassin, Nights Eye Crow.

Many countless nobles have become victims of her.

How are you feeling, Fitz?

Now I'm fine. The amount of poison is not much.

With this incident, it's a given that the enemy is among us in Royal Palace.

We won't know when and how many attacks will come.

How about using studying abroad as an excuse to flee this country?

Are you asking me to run away?

Not running, it's staying alive.

There will be surely another opportunity.

I understand.

I will contact important figures from other countries and await opportunities.

We might need that.

I will be your accompany, Lady Ariel.

Thanks, Luke.

Fitz, I'm relieving you from your guardian duty.

But why?

I have been using the excuse of your trespassing at the Royal Palace

and lying for your punishment in order to make you a guardian.

I am sorry for not considering your will.

Being not able to search for your friends and family as you wish

is also because of how powerless I am.

I can't trouble you more than this.

From today on, you're-

I don't want to.

Lady Ariel, you said that I'm your friend.

You're already my friend.

I want to help my friends when they're in trouble.

When they're in danger, I will save them.

Of course, it wouldn't bother me.

This time is my own will, I want to go with you.

Thank you, Fitz.

I will surely become this Kingdom's ruler.

Your Highness!

Our future ruler, Princess Ariel Anemoi Asura!

I chose this path to protect my friend.

Ever since that day, I haven't had a nightmare anymore.
