Wait for me!
Are you well?
Yes.
What is the "Man-God"?
The Man-God and the Dragon God?
The Seven Gods of ancient times. It's not easy to believe.
That reminds me.
He said that the Superd's poor reputation is caused by a curse.
Laplace transferred his own curse to the spears
and put it on the Superd.
It sounds like you've been wasting your time on my behalf.
But he also said that the curse has almost vanished over time.
What?!
It's been fading since you shaved your head.
Is that true?!
Yes.
The Man-God said that you can clear your name through hard work.
I see.
So that's how it is.
Well, I should get back to sleep now.
Yes.
What are you doing?
I'm trying to imitate the spell Orsted used.
What does it do?
It's a spell that nullifies magic.
What are you doing that for?
It's research.
If we run into Orsted again, I'd like to at least be able to escape him.
"Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation"
What's wrong? Is that all you've got?
Master Rudeus, please hang this one as well.
All right.
That's the way. Keep working at it.
I will!
Welcome home, Rudy.
I'm home, Mother!
Wait for me, Rudy!
Hurry up, Sylphie!
So, this is your homeland.
Yes, although it used to be much more beautiful.
I see. I wish I had seen it.
You don't need a babysitter anymore.
I'm in your debt.
I didn't do anything. Not on the Demon Continent, or in Millis.
That's not true.
You taught me that I have so many more options than I'd realized.
I remember it all.
The adventurers who smiled at the name "Dead End" without a hint of fear.
How close I felt to the Doldia, who accepted me knowing I was a Superd.
The Shirone soldiers who tearfully thanked me for saving their families.
Ruijerd, you did all of that yourself.
No. I couldn't do anything alone.
I hadn't managed to advance a single step in the four centuries since the war.
You gave me that first step.
But that was only because the Man-God--
I don't care about a god I've never seen.
You were the one who actually helped me, Rudeus.
Eris.
What?
You have talent. Enough talent to grow far stronger than me.
You're lying. I mean...
You fought one called a god and experienced his techniques.
Do you know what that means?
I understand!
Good. That's the way.
May I treat you two like children one last time?
I ought to return this to you.
I'd like you to keep it.
You would? Isn't this precious to you?
That's why I want you to have it.
Goodbye, then, Rudeus, Eris.
Let's meet again.
There's so much I want to say.
So many things, so many feelings, that I can't put them into words.
Feelings of not wanting to say goodbye to a friend.
"Let's meet again."
That's right. We can always see each other again.
Ghislaine!
Eris!
I mean, Lady Eris. I'm so glad you're safe!
Ghislaine.
I'm glad that you're safe, too, Rudeus.
I'm delighted that you have returned safely, Lady Eris, Rudeus.
I'm so glad that you're both all right.
Rudeus, please wait outside.
Huh? Oh, all right.
No!
Rudeus stays.
If you say so, My Lady.
First, let me say how glad I am that you returned safe and--
Skip the formalities and tell me.
Who's dead?
Lord Sauros, Lord Philip, and Lady Hilda.
All three of them have passed away.
Are you... sure?
Lord Philip and Lady Hilda teleported together.
They passed away in disputed territory.
Ghislaine confirmed it.
I see. And my grandfather?
He was held responsible for the teleportation disaster and executed.
What?!
What did they have to execute Lord Sauros for?!
Rudeus.
Sit down.
I understand how you feel, Rudeus,
but that is the state of the Asura Kingdom.
So, what happens now?
Lord Pilemon Notos Greyrat wishes to take you as his concubine, My Lady.
Alphonse! Are you seriously considering that scum's offer?!
Scum or not, he is a lord.
What does that matter?! Are you thinking about Eris at all?
I am thinking about the Boreas family and the Fittoa region.
And you're going to sacrifice Eris for them?!
If necessary.
Eris, you don't have to listen to him!
Run away and be happy!
And what will become of the people?
You do something for them!
Be quiet!
Give me... some time alone.
Eris, um...
Didn't you hear me? Leave me alone.
All right.
What's that?
The list of the missing.
So, my mother still hasn't been found.
No.
Sylphie?!
It can't be!
Someone you know?
Yes.
Did you check that list of the dead?
She's not there.
Then she's probably alive, although I don't know where.
Thank god.
Are you awake?
Come in.
Good evening, Rudeus.
Eris.
Are you feeling better?
I'm fine. I kind of expected something like this.
What will you do now?
What do you mean?
I mean... about what Alphonse said.
That doesn't matter.
It doesn't?
Rudeus, I'm all alone now.
And I turned 15 the other day.
It completely slipped my mind.
Um... Is it too late to get you a present?
What would you like?
A family.
Rudeus, be my family.
So, you want to be brother and sister?
I don't care what we are.
What I mean is...
...let's sleep together.
I-Isn't that sudden?
We promised, remember?
But that was for when I turn 15.
I don't care which it is.
What the hell is going on?
Oh, I get it. Eris might be feeling hopeless.
I mean, I want to do it, but wouldn't this be taking advantage of her?
Come on!
Hey! Eris!
What's this?
Well, you are charming.
This means you're turned on, then?
Yes.
And you do like me, then?
Yes.
And you've been ogling me, right?
Yes.
But you're still saying "no"?
I mean, a promise is a promise. We said we'd wait until I'm 15.
Listen, Rudeus. My mother taught me this,
but it's embarrassing, so I'll only say it once.
I want to have your kittens, meow.
Good morning, everyone!
And what a wonderful morning it is!
What are you looking so glum for?
--Go get some "experience," too! It'll put a smile on your face.
--Darling! --Go get some "experience," too! It'll put a smile on your face.
And hello! Starting today, I'm one of you!
I'm a normie. I've got it made.
Oh, would you look at the time!
Excuse me. I've got plans with my girlfriend.
Hey, Eris, wake up. It's morning.
Wake up, or I'll have some fun with you.
Oh. She's not here.
I get it. She must be embarrassed. Silly girl.
Huh?
What's this?
You and I aren't well-matched right now.
I'm going away.
Alphonse, where is Eris?!
She set out on a journey with Ghislaine.
Wh-Where to?
She instructed me not to inform you.
Oh. I see.
Huh? Why?
I don't get it.
Huh?
Why? Did she dump me? Abandon me?
But what about "family"?
Huh?
