Mushoku Tensei:Web Chapter 105 - Baka-Tsuki 


That being said, a month passed by. 
Today at Ronoa Magic University, the Delinquent Group gathered together. 
...In other words. 
It's the Special Student Homeroom session. 

--- 

Currently, I am worried. 
About my sister Norn. 

Ever since she started living in the dorms, we haven't progressed one bit. 
On the contrary, when we see each other in the hallway, she ignores me. 
At times she seems to gaze at me frankly with scornful eyes. 
Well, that might just be my persecution complex taking place... 
In any case, we aren't getting along. 

Well, that's fine. 
It's fine. 
Even though I'm a bit lonely, it's fine. 

It's not like we absolutely have to get along as siblings. 
Even if we don't normally get along, I'll side with Norn if anything happens. 
Even if anything happens I can become an over-demanding parent. 

Yeah. 
Being in position of the leader of misfits sure is convenient. 
Aside from bullying homeroom teachers, I can do anything. 
And since I know Jinas, I can consult with him. 
That is to say I can consult with them many things. 
I should probably send some gifts to Jinas this time. 

However, within this month, Norn had not made a single friend. 
Even though I see her in the hallways, she's alone most of the time. 
Even though she doesn't seem lonely, seeing that makes me worried. 

Well, I'll think of something even if she doesn't make any friends. 
But, is she doing ok in class? 
Is she ok living in the dorms? 
I am really worried. 

Having said that, it would be wrong for me to get too involved. 
Speaking of first years that I know of, it would be that first-year representative delinquent. 
If I use her to forcibly help Norn out, she would definitely find out and hate me. 
Besides, what's that first-year rep's name again? 
All I remember was that she looks like a Siberian Husky puppy. 

"Boss seems to be down lately -nya." 
"Yeah -nano." 


While I was worrying, Rinia and Pursena peeked at me with their heads. 
The noisy bunch, the two of them. 


These girls are the idols of the males of the Beast Race. 
Ever since I went and reconciled with Princess Ariel, they were surrounded by underlings frequently in the hallways. 
They definitely don't have to worry about a lack of friends. 


"Since you're like this, boss, we've prepared a present for you nya." 
"It took us a month to prepare it." 


Saying that, Rinia placed a bag on top of the desk. 
It was pretty big. 
I wonder what's inside? 

"Oh, don't look inside until you get home nya." 
"Open it when nobody's looking." 

Hey, that's suspicious. 
What is it? 
Is it that? That powder? 
Happy Turn Powder? [1] 

In the northern lands to the east, in one part of the Demon Territory, there was powder circulating in the markets that bring you happiness. 
In this country, there are no laws absolutely forbidding drugs. 
As far as I know, Mills and Asura have laws regarding that, but there are none in this region. 


Of course, I won't go out of my way to get powder. 
If it's poisonous or if it makes me go into withdrawal, my intermediate detoxification magic won't work. 
I heard that Saint level detoxification can suppress those withdrawal symptoms, though. 


In the beginning, it's not like I really need to rely on powder. 

However, I might need to use it on something. 
I'll keep it for now. 
If I run into financial troubles, it'll sell pretty well. 


"Thank you very much." 
"It's nothing at all nya." 
"Boss is having trouble down there as well nano." 


Ah. 
That's right. 
Speaking of which, these two are boarders. 
Living in the dorms for six years, they should know various things. 
I should consult with them a bit. 


"Actually, I am worried about my little sister." 
"Little sister? Ah, we met her the other time nya. The girl that's dressed like a maid." 
"She was at the marketplace. We knew by her smell. She smelled like the boss." 


It seems like the two of them had met with Aisha in the city. 
The maid sister frequently sleeps together with me, which would explain why they could smell my presence on her. 


"It's not her, it's my other sister who burdened the dorm residents last month." 
"Eh? You guys were together?" 
"She's living in the dorms?" 


The two of them exchanged glances. 
They haven't met Norn, but it seems they wouldn't have realized even if they had met. 
Since she hasn't been around me, they probably couldn't smell my presence from her. 


"Yes, but she seems to hate me, and recently hasn't been talking. 
What can I do to get along with her?" 
"Eh, ummm... let's see nya. It's a difficult problem nya." 
"As long as we advertise Boss' good points we're fine." 


Manipulation of information. 
If people speak of Rudeus in the school as a popular super hero, 
Would Norn want to speak with me? 
Even if Rinia and Pursena did this, there are already stories of Rudeus the leader of misfits floating around. 
I want to have a more child-like scenario where I rescue a puppy or something. 
Maybe like the story of when I first met Julie would be good. 


"Ah, that's right. That girl doesn't seem to have any friends. 
Even though it has only been a month, and I know shouldn't be hasty. 
However, as a transfer student, I am worried that she isn't adapting to the class." 
"I, I see nya. But you don't know for sure nya." 
"It might just be that she doesn't have a chance to talk." 


Ever since we started talking, Rinia and Pursena are acting strange. 
As if they were flustered about something. 
When these two are stammering like this, it means they're hiding something. 


"...Don't tell me you guys laid a hand on my sister when I wasn't looking." 
"Th, that's not it at all nya!" 
"That's right! Totally unthinkable! Boss' advice to 'Never bully the weak', we take it to heart!" 


I see. 
Then, why are they flustering? 
Something's strange. 
But, since I said it now, if Norn happens to get bullied, these two will protect her. 


"B, boss' sister, how old is she?" 
"Is she older than the maid? Or younger?" 


They asked something weird. 
Although she's older, she's only older by a couple of hours. 


"She's of the same age, she's ten." 
"I, I see!" 
"Then we're alright, we didn't do anything wrong." 


It seems they felt guilty. 
They probably were acting bossy towards the freshmen. 
Well, if they're just glaring at them, then it shouldn't be a problem. 


The two were cowering in fear. 
Usually when giving other people presents you would be looking with anticipation. 
I've got a bad feeling about this. 
I feel like I want to open it now. 


"Preparing something like this for me, there's no way I would be angry." 


Even if there's a corpse of a rat inside, well, I'll be shocked at the very least. 
Then, I saw Cliff sitting next to us. 


"What do you think, Cliff-senpai?" 


I decided to ask him on a whim. 


"...Hmph, you can survive even if you don't have friends!" 


When Cliff says that, it feels kinda heavy. 
I don't want you to worry, you're not alone. 
Elinalise is also with you. 
...Ah, and me as well. 


But, even if Cliff can't read the atmosphere, 
My heart as a brother wants him to know at least one person. 
Lunch break. 
Nanahoshi shows her face in the cafeteria. 
She realizes that food is very important. 
Then again, she's very quiet when she eats. 


"What is it...?" 
"No, it's nothing." 


When I looked at her she stared at me. 
Even though she wants to broaden her cooking, she hasn't eaten anything much up to now. 
Although she doesn't seem to like the taste, she doesn't act like it's delicious. 


"That seems awful." 
"Yeah, even though it's a recipe I made myself, it's the worst." 
"In this world, there aren't any good ingredients compared to Japan." 
"Yeah." 
"Do you have anything you like to eat in this world?" 
"Well, there's the potato chips I ate at your house. Those were delicious." 


Sylphy made those. 
Certainly, it's simple to make, and the difference in taste isn't much. 


"You want me to make some again?" 
"...No thanks." 


Alrighty, I'll prepare some the next time you come for a bath. 


However, during this month, Badigadi never showed up. 
I did not see him even once in the cafeteria. 
I had wanted to speak with him about many things regarding Ruijerd's case. 


Though, thanks to his absence, Julie's table manners have improved. 
Ginger taught table manners to Julie. 
When Badigadi was around, this proved difficult. 


But, without Badigadi around, it felt something was off. 
That laughter was really endearing, after all. 
I think it was written that laughter brings forth the substance of happiness. 


"Fuhahahahaha!" 
"W, why are you laughing suddenly, did I do something?" 
"Master?" 
"Grandmaster...?" 


Though I suddenly laughed, 
I just felt embarrassment gathering up. 
I just can't do it like Badigadi. 


"What are you laughing about?" 


Luke suddenly appeared. 
He was good-looking as ever, but he didn't have his followers today. 
Sylphy isn't with him either. 


"Since the Demon King isn't here, I tried to laugh like him." 
"I see... Rudeus. Can you please come to the Student Council Room?" 


Luke was putting on a complicated expression. 
Did something happen? 


"Understood." 


I quickly gulped down my food and followed Luke. 


Luke seemed angry. 
His footsteps were violent. 


When we entered the Student Council room, there were two other people in here. 
Ariel's expression was the same as usual, although her face was a bit pale. 
Sylphy was also looking uneasy. 
In front of them on the desk was something like a small pouch. 
It seems something happened shortly after the new school term. 


"Thanks for bringing me. Did something happen?" 
"Yes..." 


Ariel nodded. 
It was mixed with her sigh. 
Seems like it's a difficult subject. 


"Recently, the freshmen faces in the women's dorm have been pale lately." 
"Oh." 


Freshmen in the women's dorm. 
It seems this is related to Norn. 


"When I asked them, these students with such a good modelled face were worried." 


Perhaps, Norn got involved? 
If that's so, I will cooperate as well. 
If I can resolve this problem in a splendid manner, 
As a brother, I can be someone that she can respect. 


"Today, among the people I questioned in detail, about Rinia and Pursena, um..." 


It seems Rinia and Pursena are related to this as well. 
I heard that they didn't bully the weak though. 
Maybe perhaps they were extorting? 
Cornering female students who had meat or beef jerky. 


"It seems they were coerced into giving their underwear right then and there." 


Underwear? 

"..." 


In an instant, my gaze flew over to my bag. 
No way. 
But, it can't be. 


"And when I got more information, those two seems to be talking in the cafeteria saying 'Boss will be happy' and such." 
"..." 


That means, there are panties in this bag. 
Moreover, ones that have not been washed. 
Oh my God. 
Who was the one that wanted this? 
Ah, I hate the me that's slightly happy. 


"Also, I heard the underwear they got was put into a bag..." 


When Ariel said that, she silently looked at the bag that I was holding. 
Everybody in the room also gazed at the bag. 
They probably overlapped the information they just heard with the bag. 
And, within the bag, was a 90% chance that panties were inside. 
A dream of a bag filled with panties. 


"Rudeus-sama, pardon me but..." 
"This bag I had received from Rinia and Pursena this morning. 
I was told not to look inside it until I was alone at home, 
But now that you said that, the contents inside this bag is most likely what you guessed." 


I took the initiative. If I were to say it later it would be bad. 


"I see, then I just want to confirm...did you order them to do this?" 
"No, you're mistaken." 


I answered flat-out. 
Any hesitation in replying is unforgivable. 
I must answer firmly. 
Otherwise there'll be misunderstandings. 


"So you're saying you're not involved in this." 
"Of course." 


In the first place, why would I hatch such a crazy plan like this? 
Especially when my sister is in the dorms. 


Damn it, what excuse can I give? 
A way to clear this misunderstanding... 


"I understand, I'll believe you." 


Ariel sighed lightly as she spoke. 


She believed in me. 
Despite that I had no proof. 


"Thank you very much." 
"No, it's just that I thought too that this was strange. 
Having an intense night with Sylphy yet attacking other girls..." 


Did she overhear about our hot night? 
In that case, even my embarrassing lines from last night too? 


"...Sylphy. Did you talk to the princess? About our lover's talk last night." 
"No, not at all. I didn't say anything! Princess Ariel, what's the meaning of this!?" 


Sylphy was shaking her head in a panic. 
Well, even if they got along well together, one wouldn't talk about the details of her and her husband's night life. 
Though even if she did talk about it, I wouldn't be bothered by it. 
As long as Sylphy wasn't grumbling about "My short and small day of intimacy". 


"No, I was just teasing. It's good that your married lifestyle is going well." 


Ariel said that like nothing happened. 
Well, whatever. 


However, why did those two do those things... 
Gathering panties, it's not something an ordinary person would come up with. 


No, come to think of it, I remember saying something like that a long time ago. 
About gathering up girl panties or something... 
I had certainly thought that to be a joke, but I didn't think they'd carry it out. 
Yup, it's not my fault. 
I have no part in this. 
Let's leave it at that. 


"Well, I think they did this rashly out of good faith, so I'll go ahead and warn them. 
Ah, please give these back to the victims, Princess Ariel. 
By the way, I did not look inside, nor have I touched any of it." 


I said this while giving Ariel the bag. 
Rinia and Pursena had not done this out of malice. 
I must tell them properly. 
That there are other ways of taking them off... 
That if they want me to be happy they should take it off in front of me. 
Wait, that's not it. 
This is wrong. 


"Yes, certainly." 


Ariel nodded when she opened the bag. 
With this the case is settled. 


"However, with only this amount of underwear, aren't you regretting it?" 


Ariel said that. 
While looking over at Sylphy. 


"You're mistaken. I have no interest in underwear and the like." 
"...I see, I apologize." 
"No, it's all good if this clears up any misunderstanding." 


Phew, too close, too close. 
If I brought this back home I would have trouble disposing of it. 
Surely being at the end of my wits, I would've soaked all the panties in alcohol. 


"But, I'm glad. I thought that I wasn't able to satisfy you." 


Sylphy said that straightforwardly, making the atmosphere in the room a bit lighter. 
Sylphy immediately realized what she just said, and turned bright red. 


Then, the bell signalling the end of lunch break rang out. 


"Oh, that's no good. I'll be late for class." 
"I apologize. It was Rinia and Pursena's fault." 
"No, things like these happen sometimes." 


Luke opened the door, urging me that I leave. 
I went along and left the room. 
After that, Ariel and Sylphy followed. 
When Luke was the last to leave, he locked the door. 


"Let's go." 


When I walked out, Ariel was lined up next to me. 
Sylphy and Luke were behind. 
Ah, in this scenario it might have been better if I was in the rear as well. 


"Ah." 


While I was thinking that, Norn appeared when we turned around a corner. 
She was looking around restlessly with an anxious face, then when she saw me, let out a small gasp. 


"Norn, what's wrong? Classes are about to start." 
"..." 


Norn turned her face away with a huff. 
Her face was facing towards Ariel. 


"Nice to meet you. I am this school's student council president. My name is Ariel." 


Ariel smiled gently, and Norn's face turned red. 
As expected of her charisma. 


"My name is N, Norn Greyrat..." 
"Okay! Norn-san, what's wrong? 
It's almost time for lessons to start." 
"Ah, um, I didn't know where the third practice room was..." 
"I see..." 


It seems Norn was left behind when they were moving between classes. 
I feel sorry for her. 
That's plainly painful. 
So it seems she's been left out in class after all. 


"Luke, please guide her." 
"Yes. Please come over here." 


Luke gave a gentle push on Norn's back, and escorted her. 
Norn turned red, and seemed to be embarrassed. 
Luke is good looking, after all. 
But Luke's no good. He's a womanizer. 

"..." 


Suddenly, Norn turned around and looked at us. 


Me, Ariel, and Sylphy. 
She looked at each one of us. 
Then, she turned away again with a huff. 


What did I do wrong... 
After school. 
I called out Rinia and Pursena behind the school. 
From today's event, there are things that I had to say. 


Back of the school. 
A place that's used as a movie scene for students in their youth. 
Rinia and Pursena came by acting triumphantly. 

"What is it Boss, calling us here?" 
"Making a love confession? If you're confessing to us you better talk to Fitts-chan, or she'll get mad." 

The two were acting quite boastful, but, 

"About the bag from the other day, I gave it to Princess Ariel this afternoon. 
I told her to give the stuff inside back to their original owners." 

When I said that, they made a face, 
then they started to point fingers at each other. 

"See, I told you it was no good nya!" 
"It's Rinia's fault. You said Boss would definitely be happy!" 
"That's because Pursena was so eager nya!" 
"I said to first test it out with your panties!" 
"It's unfair if it's only me nya!" 
"That's why I took from the ones living in the dorms!" 
"I had meant for you to take off your own nya!" 
"My breasts are too big so they're no good!" 

They were starting up an awful comedy sketch. 
What do you mean I have a small breast fetish? 
I love big breasts too. 

"Shut up!" 

In any case, I shut the both of them up. 

"Didn't I say this many times before? 
Didn't I say not to bully the weak?" 

The both of them were trembling. 

"W, we didn't bully the weak nya!" 
"T, that's right, we properly asked to get them..." 

'Asked', huh. 
When these two are asking, there's no freshmen that could have refused. 

"The disgrace of taking off someone's clothes, surely you guys of the Beast Race should know best..." 
"W, we gave them underwear to replace the ones they wore nya!" 
"There were plenty of freshmen who weren't happy, though?" 
"It must be because the sizes were different. We didn't take any underwear from the ones that refused strongly." 

Hmm? 
There seems to be a difference in stories from what I heard from Ariel. 

To be honest, if they had forcibly stripped them, I would have been disgusted. 
I would have made them strip naked in public if that was the case. 
The need to understand the damage they've done, after all. 

"I, I told you not to be angry if you weren't satisfied nya." 
"This was an unhappy misunderstanding. Please forgive us..." 

The two were cowering. 
However, thinking about it, 
These two had done it for my sake. 
I had been wearing an unhappy face, 
So they gathered the underwear thinking that it would make me happy. 
Though I did not appreciate what they did, the act in itself was not evil. 

Well, of course, if I were a victim I'd be disgusted as well. 
However, Rinia and Pursena had done this with good intentions. 
Unlike me in my previous life, they were not attempting to disgrace the others with their actions. 
To say it as an analogy, they were like gathering cicada husks as children. 
I would be overreacting if I were to mete out a big punishment towards them. 

"If I found out a child who was really hurt by this, I will have you both prostrate naked before her." 
"I, I understand nya." 
"I'm sorry..." 

Well, all that's left is to follow-up with Ariel. 
For my part, I won't get angry at them. 
I wonder if it's because they're my followers? 
It seems like I am also showing signs of favoritism as well. 

"So, why did you think of giving me underwear as a present, anyway?" 

When I asked that, the two stared at me in puzzlement. 
With a face that said 'Isn't that obvious?' 

"Boss' religion is the God of Panties, right?" 
"You seem to worship them very seriously." 

Ahh. 
I see, so it's my fault. 
The cause of this was because I showed them my object of worship some time ago. 

"That's different. It's not like I regard panties as something taking the place of God. 
That particular one was worn by someone who I deify. In other words, it's sacred cloth." 

I love panties. 
But, this and that are different. 

"That's why, I ask that you don't do this again." 
"I understand nya." 
"We'll be careful." 

And then, I suddenly added. 

"If you really wanted to give me underwear, it'd be good if you actually took them off in front of me." 
"Eh?" 
"Eh?" 

Crap, my tongue slipped. 
Rinia and Pursena were grinning. 

"So you really did fall in love with us nya" 
"It can't be helped. Boss is a male beast, he can't be calm when we're around." 

Tch, shut up. 
That reaction saying that I want panties. 
These guys, maybe they like me...? 
No, that's wrong. 
It's something different. 
It must certainly be something like goodwill. 
Different than Sylphy getting close to me. 

I don't understand the difference. 
Since I don't understand, I'll just chalk it up as a sign of friendship. 

In any case, we finished talking. 
We moved away from the back of the school. 
Although some gossip as a result of this hurt me a bit. 
Well, it's not like it's a big problem. 
I'm the type that doesn't particularly care about rumors. 

When the three of us moved, we saw a group lined up outside of the school building. 
It's the freshmen. 
They are probably going back to the dorms from where I had handed the bag. 

So as to not go face to face, they avoided us. 
At the end of line was Norn. 

"...!" 

Norn looked at me, then at Rinia and Pursena beside me. 
Then, with a face that said 'I don't believe this,' glared at me with all her might, then passed by. 

"What's with that first year, acting so mighty nya." 
"Fuck nano. Let's show her that she needs to respect her elders." 
"I'll say this right now, that was my sister." 

Just when I said that. 
Both their ears drooped. 

"W, well, it's good that's energetic nya." 
"She's quite cute." 

They're so easy to understand. 
I pat both of them on the shoulder. 

"Well, please get along with her, okay?" 
"Of course nya." 
"We won't do anything bad." 

However, though I wanted to talk with Norn, how should I go about that? 
Well, even if I can't, I hope there won't be any problems later on. 


--- 

And so, the days passed by without incident. 
I hadn't gotten along with Norn. 
But, she kept her promise to show up at home every ten days. 

Although she hates me, she obediently listens to what I say. 
I thought she would be more rebellious, but at least she wasn't opposed to meeting face-to-face. 
Even though her face says she doesn't want to. 

Hmm... 
If I think about it, apart from the time when they had no awareness of their surroundings, I've met them only once. 
It is probably a mistake to think that we could just suddenly get along as brother and sister. 
My relationship with Aisha is rather strange. 

Just because we're family, doesn't mean we get along unconditionally. 
I understand that all too well. 
Rather it's because we're family, that are things that couldn't be forgiven. 
Like the time when I beat up Paul in front of Norn. 
Me and Paul have reconciled our differences. 
However, inside of Norn, that is something that still could not be forgiven. 

...If. 
If she bring out that matter, I'll apologize. 
Honestly, although I don't want to bring that topic up, I'll keep that to myself. 

Well, there's no need to rush. 
We'll be together for many years. 
Over a year or two, we'll slowly get along. 
As siblings, it's not like we need to be attached to each other. 
We'll get along slowly, while being aware of our distance. 
This closing of distance will take time. 

As I think of that. 
Norn became a shut-in.
