Mushoku Tensei (WN) - Volume 13 - Chapter 132

Mushoku Tensei:Web Chapter 132 - Baka-Tsuki 
Several days have passed since Roxy became my wife. 
I still feel uneasy that some kind of disaster may happen, but recently it's gradually faded. 

Zenith has taken up residence in one of the large rooms in this house as well. 
It was the room which the old residents died in so I said to Lilia that it might be best not to do it. 
But, Zenith was quite pleased and didn't want to separate from it so it can't be helped. 
Seeing that Lilia as well said there was probably nothing to worry about over it. 

Well, I'm sure having a large room is better than a small room for Zenith after all. 
I'm not all that familiar with recuperation and nursing, but spacious over confined should be better. 

Naturally, we've brought Zenith to a doctor as well. 
Through Ariel's referral an excellent physician known throughout Ranoa Kingdom. 
However, it seems he has no knowledge about cases like this, the treatment method is unknown as well so we had to give up. [1] 
As I thought, it seems the medical techniques in this world don't depend very strongly on past records. 
Maybe because there's healing magic, but the treatment methods in this world are a bit deviated. 

Even though I say that, we were able to receive a menu to rehabilitate people who have lost their memories. 
We don't know if she'll get better or not, but it should be better than doing nothing. 
..If I have a chance it might be good to try searching for a magic tool for the sake of recovering lost memories as well. 
Of course, I don't know if such a thing as that even exists or not. 
Looking at it over the long term, we might no choice other than to go for treatment. 
We don't know what Zenith's home in the Holy Kingdom of Milis might say as well. 

In regards to Zenith there's still some uneasiness remaining. 

Sylphy's progress is doing well. 
Recently the child in her stomach has started to kick so she's pleasantly allowed me to touch her stomach. 
In addition, I tried groping her breasts that had swelled up from the influence of the pregnancy and she got reasonably seriously angry. 
It seems it hurts to touch them strongly. 
I hadn't intended to touch them all that strongly, but it seems she was surprised because I suddenly did it. 

If I'm going to touch them then gently she requested. 
It was a method of requesting that made me want to push her down just like that. 
Thinking about it, before I've lost to this seduction of Sylphys numerous times and pushed her down. 
However, right now she's pregnant. 
I can't afford to expose my desires. 

Even though I say that, things I want to touch I still want to touch. 
I thoroughly accepted her invitation to gently touch them. 

After all it seems there's change to your body while pregnant. 
It wasn't Sylphy's chest that I was used to groping. 
I'm the one that changed it, thinking like that, and I somehow felt a kind of unspeakable happiness. 
I wonder if this is the so-called, feeling of domination. 
Yeah, Sylphy belongs to me. 

However, as I thought not having my left hand is inconvenient. 
That time when I could grope her breasts with both hands is nostalgic. 
Something that I had two of has been reduced to one after all, the feeling of satisfaction has been halved as well. 

I wonder if a bit more and milk will come out. 
If I say I want to try tasting them a bit I wonder if she'll get angry. 
I wonder if she'll scorn me. 
I wonder about asking just once to try it. 
It might be best not to do it though. 
However just once... 

"Rudi really likes my breasts doesn't he." 
"Yeah, Sylphy's breasts are small, but number one in the world." 
"Number one in the world you say..even though you put your hands on a different girl?" 
"S,S,So, Sorry please forgive me." 
"Eh~, I'm not angry." 

While having such a sweet conversation even my relationship with Sylphy is going favorably as well. 
If this were Japan of my previous life, I'm sure it would have been considerably stiff. 
This is a different world and Sylphy is understanding. 
Whether I take two or three wives to marry as well, it's fine just as long as I love them equally. 

If you were to ask about my other wife Roxy, she's taken up one of the small rooms on the second floor. 
It's one of the smallest rooms on the second floor. 
I did say it would be fine to take a larger room as well, but it seems she likes small rooms. 
I don't hate small rooms as well. 
Since the scent builds up after all. 

Roxy became a teacher at the Magic University. 
That time I introduced her in addition to reporting my return, but I'll save this story for later. 
One more month after. 
A day with strong snow. 

Sylphy went into labor. 

There were no particular problems, it was a normal delivery. 
It was neither a breech nor premature birth as well. 
If there was a problem, it would just be to the level of the snow being too strong so going to call the doctor wouldn't make it in time. 
If it were my previous life then that would be something to panic over I'm sure, but reliably in my house there is Lilia. 
For she who has an abundance of experience as a midwife, even without me asking anything, she quickly moved together with Aisha following her orders. 

While teaching Aisha the process, Lilia carefully said each thing one at a time. 

Just in case, if anything comes up Roxy and I are on standby at the side. 
There's a big difference between being able to use healing magic and not being able to use it in an emergency after all. [2] 
Even though I say that, I was completely spaced out at the time. 
Something like healing magic was nowhere near entering my mind. 
I was doing my best just tightly holding Sylphy's hand as she was suffering. 

"Seeing Rudeus-sama right now and it reminds me of the lady..the time of Norn-sama's delivery." 

After hearing Lilia speak those words I remembered the past. 
Norn was a breech birth, both the mother and child were in a dangerous condition. 
Paul was useless and just got all nervous on his own. 
That time I moved calmly, but right now I'm in this state. 
That I was able to handle things well as a child are the same whether it be this world or my previous life. 

"However, please rest easy. Rudeus-sama. Sylphy-sama is fine. There's nothing to worry about all." 

While saying that Lilia indifferently continued her work. 
That handling was enough to be charmed by. 

Even after being told it was fine, my trembling wouldn't settle. 
Holding onto Sylphy's hand, calling out "hihhiffu", and wiping the sweat from her forehead were all I could manage to do. 
Sylphy was making a painful face, but after looking at me in a fluster she giggled a bit and smiled. 

"Umm..It would be better for Rudi to relax a bit more." 

Aisha suddenly whistled out those words. 
Lilia hit Aisha's head with a [peshiri]. [3] 
Seeing that Sylphy lightly smiled. 

"Nn!!?" 

The instant the place loosened up the wave came. 

"Sylphiette-sama. Okay, please take a deep breath." 
"Nn..!" 

I quietly watched over as Sylphy gave it her best. 
The only things coming out from my mouth were just the words of give it your best. 
I did have the feelings that I needed to do something, but I couldn't do anything. 

In rhythm with Lilia's voice heaving, Sylphy made a painful face. 

It was born. 

The baby was safely born into this world raised an energetic first cry. 
It's a girl. 
With the same color of hair as me it's a cute girl. 

She was held in the arms of Lilia and passed over to Sylphy's arms. 
Sylphy embraced the baby and breathed a sigh of relief. 

"Thank goodness..her hair, isn't green." 

Hearing those words that Sylphy whispered out I caressed her head. 
Sylphy's beautiful white hair. 
It used to be emerald green hair. 

"..I guess so." 

Even if the child was born with emerald green hair I had no intention of blaming Sylphy. 
Obviously. 
In my regards, the emerald green of this world is one of my favorite colors after all. 
Green is Sylphy's color and it's also Rujierudo's color. 
Even Roxy's hair color, in some light it reflects as if it shines emerald green. 
I like the color green. 

If they're going to discriminate against emerald green, then even if the enemy is the world I'll show you. 

"Good work, Sylphy." 
"Yeah." 

But, even if I have those sorts of intentions, this world isn't the same. 
Emerald green hair is just that much of a taboo. 
A daughter born with the same hair color as me. 
We have no choice other than to thank God for this good fortune. 
Although, my God is in the corner of the room tightly grasping her staff making a pale face. 

"Here, Rudi hold her as well." 
"Yeah." 

Holding a baby. 
The high body temperature and crying voice that's noisy. 
Small hands, small head, small lips, small nose... 

It's all overflowing with life. 
When I think that this is my child and I can feel something rising up from within my chest. 
My child that Sylphy gave birth to. 

".." 

Tears were coming out. 

Paul has already died. 
However, my child was born. 
Paul allowed me to keep living. 
If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to hold my child. 
In exchange for that, Paul isn't able to hold his wives, daughters, or grandchildren even. 

I wonder if Paul would regret not being able to be in this place. 
Or else maybe he would laugh proudly and boast that it's thanks to him. 

In any case, I have no choice other than to go on living. 
For the sake of this child as well, I can't die. 
Sylphy as well, my family as well, I have no choice other than to protect them. 
I'll go on living in this world. 
I'll go on living. 

We took the first letters of Sylphy and I to name our daughter Lucy. [4] 
It's Lucy Greyrat. 
Aisha laughed that it was simple and Lilia hit her head. 

Nevertheless, I'm glad that it was a girl. 
If..it had been a boy then I might have ended up naming it Paul after all. 
After that I was driven out of the room by Lilia. 
Since it seems there's various things to do, I was told to wait. 

For now I move and sit down on the sofa. 
I mostly didn't move at all, but I'm suddenly exhausted. 

Roxy sat down next to me. 
She let out a sigh while making an exhausted face as well. 
Roxy did even less than I. 
No matter how you look at it I'm sure it's mental fatigue. 

"It's my first time seeing the instant a person is born. It's amazing isn't it." 
"I... wonder how many times. I guess this would be about the third time. Though when it's my own child it's awfully tiring." 

I'm sure Sylphy is even more tired. 
It won't be good if I don't thank her with all my might later. 

"I wonder if I was born like that as well." 
"Well, I'm sure that's the case for everyone." 

Though I don't know about things in regards to the Migurudo race. 
As long as they're in the shape of a person, I'm sure there's not any large differences. 

"..I will be able to give birth like that as well, won't I?" 

After looking at Roxy and she was looking up at me with a face somewhat blushing. 
I took off my shoes and sat in seiza on top of the sofa. 

"Yes. I feel that I will be in your care for that time." 

Sylphy's child has been born. 
In other words, together with Roxy that sort of lifestyle will begin. 
Honestly, I'm hoping for it. 
Even though my child with Sylphy was only just born, I sure am a no good person. 
Although, I don't hate part of myself. 
I think that Paul might have had those sort of feelings as well and I can't hate it. 

I'm looking forward to it from now on. 
Thinking that I smile and Roxy's face turns bright red as she holds her own body. 

"Rudi, you're making an extremely perverted face." 
"I was born with this face." 

Right. It's since the time I was born. 
I've been like this since the time I was born. 

".." 

Ah, that's right. 
Before I start that sort of lifestyle together with Roxy. 
There's someone who I have to report that I've made a child to first. 

Next day. 
Alone I proceeded towards Paul's grave. 

Paul's grave was made on the outskirts. 
It's a graveyard on an elevated hill for nobles. 
Paul might find it unpleasant being together with the likes of nobles. 
But, the maintenance is better than general use graveyard. He'll have to endure it. 

I stand in the snow in front of the round Ranoa style gravestone. 
I don't know what Paul's religion was. 
I think that he didn't believe in something like God as well. 
Even if we were to mistake something like his sect, he was the type of man who wouldn't be bothered by it after all, I'm sure he would forgive us. 

In reality, I'm sure it would have been better to make his grave in Asura Kingdom around the Buena Village area though. 
This land has no relation or connection with Paul. 
But, if I were to make it in a place too far away from my house and we wouldn't be able to visit the grave after all. 

I've told Gisu and the others about this place as well. 
For the time being, everyone came to visit at one point. 
That time each and every one gathered things that Paul likes. 
Like alcohol and daggers. 
Gisu and Talhand started a grand drinking bout in front of his grave, the grave keeper got angry. 

I held the alcohol bottle I bought on the way under my arm and cleaned Paul's grave. 
Removing the snow on top of the gravestone, polishing it with the cloth I brought along. 
It wasn't a difficult operation at all. 
The road on the way to here was shut off because of the snow, but the snow around the grave itself was removed to some extent by the grave keeper. 

After cleaning and leaving the alcohol bottle in front of the grave I pray with one hand. 
I thought about buying some flowers as an offering, but they weren't selling any. 
In this Northern region trying to get your hands on some flowers in winter is difficult I'm sure. 
Well, he wasn't a man who had a hobby of admiring flowers. 

"Paul..Tou-san. Yesterday, my child was born. It's a girl. Since it's Sylphy's child, I'm sure she'll become a beauty." 

I sat in front of the grave and reported it to Paul like this. 

"I wanted to show her to tou-san as well." 

If Paul were to see Lucy, I'm sure, he would have jumped around in high spirits until Zenith had chided him. 
It's a celebration, saying something like that and drinking alcohol together with me, getting completely drunk, sexually harassing Lilia, and making Zenith shocked. 
Such a scene vividly floated in front of my eyes. 
Though it's a story only if Paul was safely able to keep on living and Zenith hadn't lost her memories. 

"Roxy-sensei has become my wife. I have two wives. The same as tou-san. I would have liked if you had taught me how to be ready for times like this." 

Thinking about it, that time. 
In that labyrinth. 
I wonder if it was that sort of thing that Paul wanted to talk to me about. 
Knowing that Roxy liked me. 
And that I liked Roxy as well. 
I wonder if he wanted to teach me how to be ready for having two wives. 

"Different from tou-san, it's not like I suddenly have two daughters, but I think eventually Roxy will get pregnant and give birth to my child as well. That's still far in the future, but it would be nice if I can raise them energetically like Norn and Aisha." 

I have no intention of saying bad things about Lilia's education, but I'd like to raise my children impartially to the end. 
Without any kind of weird distortions like being half Demon race and such. 

"It seems Sylphy thinks that there will be even more wives from here on out in the future though. I don't have such intention, but they do say things that happen twice happen three times after all. That might end up becoming the case.." 

I wonder if Paul ever considered marrying Girenu or Elinalize or Vera. 
It seems like he had a relationship of the flesh with Girenu after all, I think he would consider it at least once. 
Well, Paul thought about things in that area even looser than me, it might be that he never even gave it any thought. 

"It might be better for me not to over think about things too much as well?" 

After facing the gravestone and asking that I felt like I could see Paul's teasing smile. 
It was just the smile and I couldn't hear Paul's words. 
But, I'm sure it's not like Paul didn't think about it as well. 
I feel that he was always agonizing over it. 
Something like fellows that are able to live without thinking in this world, there shouldn't be many of them. 

"..Tou-san. I'm a no good son. I have something like memories of my previous life. I couldn't properly love tou-san." 

I stood up while saying that. 
Holding the alcohol bottle in my hand I took the first sip. 
After savoring the burn in my throat from the strong drink I poured it over the grave. 

"But, now I already intend to be a proper son." 

Drowning yourself in alcohol and making mistakes like Paul, alcohol might not be all that good of a thing. 
But, I'm sure it's fine today. 
At any rate, it's celebrations for the birth after all. 

"My own child has been born, becoming a parent. Finally, I, understood it. That I was still nothing but a child. That I was just a brat pretending to be an adult with memories of my previous life." 

Drinking, pouring, drinking, pouring. 
The alcohol bottle quickly went empty. 

"Though I feel that I need to quickly become an adult. I'm sure, I won't be able to become one until I make a lot more mistakes. But, it was the same for tou-san so I'll give my best as well." 

I closed the alcohol bottle with the lid and placed it in front of the grave. 

"Then, I'll come again. Next time bringing along everyone." 

Saying that I faced away from Paul's grave. 

A variety of things have come to a close. 
Painful things have happened and happy things have happened as well. 
But, it's not the end. 
I'll still go on living in this world. 

I'll go on living. 

In order to not regret it no matter when I die. 
Seriously. [5]
