1. Are you okay?
Copy !req
2. Can you hear me?
Copy !req
3. Huh?
Copy !req
4. Unidentified male, appears to be in his mid-thirties,
Copy !req
5. What a tragedy.
Copy !req
6. hit by a truck, unconscious and in critical condition.
Copy !req
7. He's done for.
Copy !req
8. The driver of the truck is unhurt.
Copy !req
9. Oh yeah, I was hit by a...
Copy !req
10. Two high school students thought to have also been hit are currently missing.
Copy !req
11. A search is underway.
Copy !req
12. Requesting immediate backup. Over.
Copy !req
13. Did those three make it out okay?
Copy !req
14. He's heavy! Be careful!
Copy !req
15. Heh. You bet I am.
Copy !req
16. I've been a recluse for 20 years,
the type that bangs on the floor for food.
Copy !req
17. Zenith! Anipa bayhebu! La took!
Copy !req
18. Hm?
Copy !req
19. Do you know where you are?
Copy !req
20. Pipe down. You don't have to shout.
Copy !req
21. Epabuhia! Akunaja taku! La took!
Copy !req
22. Huh? What?
Copy !req
23. Blood pressure dropping!
Copy !req
24. Prepare a transfusion!
Copy !req
25. Can you hear me?
Copy !req
26. Do you know your name?
Copy !req
27. Can you speak?
Copy !req
28. Huh? Am I dying?
Copy !req
29. Oh well, my life was basically over anyway.
Copy !req
30. I wish I could've at least lost my virginity.
Copy !req
31. Epabuhia! Tauwka seio kwa! Pahail za!
Copy !req
32. Ivin kav Zenith! Pahail za!
Copy !req
33. Ow, my eyes!
Copy !req
34. Am I still alive?
Copy !req
35. Zevaiah bazalfben kifu zivaikah kwav!
Copy !req
36. Hey, who's this guy?
Copy !req
37. Seriously?
Copy !req
38. I'm 100-plus kilos, and he lifted me like...
Copy !req
39. Bukay aiha naiboo!
Copy !req
40. Whoa! What the hell?
Copy !req
41. Stop! That's gross!
Copy !req
42. What the hell? Give me a break.
Copy !req
43. Zenith, tipen, eyuji, tawka paihail kwa.
Copy !req
44. Whoa.
Copy !req
45. What's she blushing like that for?
Copy !req
46. Her tits are huge.
Copy !req
47. Evun on. Nora iv aihen kap.
Copy !req
48. What language is that?
Copy !req
49. Wait, where am I? This isn't a hospital?
Copy !req
50. What the hell is he doing?
I'm seriously injured.
Copy !req
51. Still, she's gorgeous.
Copy !req
52. Is she European?
Copy !req
53. If you leave yourself that open,
I might cop a feel.
Copy !req
54. Huh?
Copy !req
55. It looks like I got reincarnated.
Copy !req
56. I can't believe something
that crazy happened for real.
Copy !req
57. Paul and Zenith. In their mid-20s, I'd guess.
Copy !req
58. Moraiha kwa.
Copy !req
59. Zai.
Copy !req
60. Tawkah, za iksalaib.
Copy !req
61. I'm 34, so they're practically kids to me.
Copy !req
62. Zevaika vawksay Rudy!
Copy !req
63. I'm seriously jealous of them,
making babies at their age.
Copy !req
64. Still, getting to suck on
a hottie's tits for free rules.
Copy !req
65. It didn't turn me on, though.
Maybe 'cause she's my mom?
Copy !req
66. Rudy?
Copy !req
67. Where are you?
Copy !req
68. Rudeus?
Copy !req
69. I guess my name's "Rudeus."
Copy !req
70. After six months, I've got
a pretty good grip on the language.
Copy !req
71. Maybe it's because I'm young,
but I feel like I learn weirdly fast.
Copy !req
72. Lilia the maid.
Copy !req
73. She's wonderfully endowed.
Copy !req
74. Hey, Rudy!
Copy !req
75. You shouldn't wander around on your own.
Copy !req
76. This doesn't go on your head.
Copy !req
77. What's wrong, Lilia?
Copy !req
78. Lady Zenith, this is
a little difficult to say, but...
Copy !req
79. Well...
Copy !req
80. I believe Master Rudeus may be afflicted by some sort of...
Copy !req
81. I'm sorry. Please forget I said anything.
Copy !req
82. Whatever could be so hard to say?
Copy !req
83. He's a child.
Copy !req
84. He doesn't know any better.
Copy !req
85. It's just...
Copy !req
86. What a view.
Copy !req
87. I've seen photos like this.
Copy !req
88. Is this Europe, like I thought?
Copy !req
89. Still,
Copy !req
90. Do you think this is enough?
Copy !req
91. it's definitely way too rural.
Copy !req
92. Yes.
Copy !req
93. You handle that, then, Lilia.
Copy !req
94. No electricity or gas? What year is it?
Copy !req
95. Of course, mistress.
Copy !req
96. I might be reborn, but I still
want to play with a computer.
Copy !req
97. Hey, what?
Copy !req
98. What's he doing?
Copy !req
99. Oh crap.
Copy !req
100. Rudy?
Copy !req
101. Rudy!
Copy !req
102. Young Master!
Copy !req
103. Is he all right?
Copy !req
104. You're not supposed to move
people who've hit their heads, lady.
Copy !req
105. Even after that, he isn't crying.
Copy !req
106. There, there.
Copy !req
107. Just in case,
Copy !req
108. I'll cast a spell to make the pain go away.
Copy !req
109. Divine power is rich and nourishing.
Copy !req
110. Hey, are you kidding me?
Copy !req
111. It offers the strength to rise again
Copy !req
112. This is this country's
version of kissing a boo boo?
Copy !req
113. to those who have lost their strength.
Copy !req
114. Are both my parents delusional nerds?
Copy !req
115. Did the fighter marry the cleric?
Copy !req
116. Healing.
Copy !req
117. Well? It doesn't hurt anymore, right?
Copy !req
118. You wouldn't know it,
but Mommy used to be an adventurer.
Copy !req
119. What happened?
Copy !req
120. I heard a loud...
Copy !req
121. Dear! Rudy fell on his head and—
Copy !req
122. Calm down. He's a kid.
Of course he'll fall down sometimes.
Copy !req
123. Besides, if he gets hurt, you can just heal him.
Copy !req
124. Don't tell me I'm in...
Copy !req
125. But what if he gets hurt
so badly that I can't heal him?
Copy !req
126. It'll be fine.
Copy !req
127. Actually, this pretty much confirms it.
Copy !req
128. This isn't Earth. It's another world.
Copy !req
129. A world of sword and sorcery.
Copy !req
130. I'm steady on my feet now.
Copy !req
131. Still, magic, huh?
Copy !req
132. Magic...
Copy !req
133. That's a word that'd get even a monkey excited.
Copy !req
134. I want to try it out myself ASAP.
Copy !req
135. That said, there's not much I can do right now.
Copy !req
136. Books?
Copy !req
137. There are only five books in the house.
Copy !req
138. Either books are expensive in this world,
or Paul and Zenith aren't big readers.
Copy !req
139. I used to have nearly a thousand,
so it's hard to believe.
Copy !req
140. All light novels, though.
Copy !req
141. I can't read it. I'll have
to learn to read first.
Copy !req
142. About another year passed.
Copy !req
143. Even with just five books, with the
help of Paul reading to me sometimes,
Copy !req
144. I can more or less read now.
Copy !req
145. Although I do wonder if he expects
a baby to understand what's in these books.
Copy !req
146. But man, this book is fascinating.
Copy !req
147. The Magic Manual.
Copy !req
148. I've seen some of this stuff in my old life.
Copy !req
149. Like, there are two ways to activate magic:
incantations and magic circles,
Copy !req
150. but incantations dominate
the mainstream right now, etc.
Copy !req
151. Seems like a deep system.
Copy !req
152. But I'm more concerned that, according to this,
Copy !req
153. your magic power is
basically set in stone at birth.
Copy !req
154. I'm worried.
Copy !req
155. I doubt my genes are going to put in much work.
Copy !req
156. Well, I guess I'll give it a shot.
Copy !req
157. Umm... Let the great protection
of water be on the place thou seekest.
Copy !req
158. I call a refreshing,
burbling stream here and now.
Copy !req
159. Water Ball.
Copy !req
160. Shouldn't it go flying?
Copy !req
161. One more try.
Copy !req
162. It's like practicing combos in a fighter.
Copy !req
163. Concentrate, picture it over
and over in your head,
Copy !req
164. then actually do it.
Copy !req
165. I didn't do the incantation yet.
Copy !req
166. What gives?
Copy !req
167. Huh?
Copy !req
168. This is all the MP I've got?
Copy !req
169. Honestly, Rudy.
Copy !req
170. If you're sleepy, you should go
to the bathroom and then to bed.
Copy !req
171. Damn it.
Copy !req
172. I'm too old for them to be thinking I wet the bed!
Copy !req
173. Damn it. Damn it!
Copy !req
174. Huh?
Copy !req
175. I experimented for a while and learned a lot.
Copy !req
176. That book's full of it!
Copy !req
177. Magic power grows the more you use it,
Copy !req
178. and magic works without incantations.
Copy !req
179. I guess I can't believe everything I read.
Copy !req
180. But if it's this easy,
what's even the point of incantations?
Copy !req
181. Maybe incantations are
a system for automating magic.
Copy !req
182. Holy Millis who watches
over us in distant lands,
Copy !req
183. we thank you for blessing us
with life-giving nourishment.
Copy !req
184. They do it all for you without
the need to focus on every single spell.
Copy !req
185. Time to eat!
Copy !req
186. If so, there's a big advantage to them.
Copy !req
187. First, they're easy to teach.
Copy !req
188. An incantation is all you need to cast,
Copy !req
189. so as magic was taught,
Copy !req
190. maybe over time people started
to think incantations were necessary.
Copy !req
191. Second, convenience.
Copy !req
192. Attack magic is probably used in combat,
Copy !req
193. Thus, Perugius led his
12 followers to the Devil Laplace.
Copy !req
194. and saying an incantation fast would
be quicker than closing your eyes to focus.
Copy !req
195. I think it's your bedtime now, Rudy.
Copy !req
196. Dear, I can't take any more!
Copy !req
197. I'm just getting started.
Copy !req
198. My growing magic power is another mystery.
Copy !req
199. Could it be the result of my training?
Copy !req
200. There's supposed to be a cap on
magic power, even if you work at it.
Copy !req
201. No, it's too soon to draw conclusions.
Copy !req
202. Yes. It could increase
as I grow up, for example.
Copy !req
203. Or maybe using magic at an early age
dramatically increases my maximum.
Copy !req
204. I shouldn't discount the
possibility that I'm unique.
Copy !req
205. I've gotten into this!
Copy !req
206. Whoops. That's no good. Cool it.
Copy !req
207. If that hypothesis is right,
there's only one thing to do:
Copy !req
208. Train as much as I can while I'm still growing.
Copy !req
209. Okay!
Copy !req
210. Still, how do I make these fly?
Copy !req
211. What?
Copy !req
212. Yes! All right!
Copy !req
213. I finally cracked how this incantation works.
Copy !req
214. This spell goes: create, set size,
set firing speed, activate.
Copy !req
215. That's the process it follows.
Copy !req
216. At least, I'm pretty sure that's it.
Copy !req
217. I never set the firing speed,
so it didn't go anywhere.
Copy !req
218. I've got more magic power now,
so it's time I tried intermediate magic.
Copy !req
219. Umm...
Copy !req
220. Supple spirit of water and princess
of streams that flow through the earth,
Copy !req
221. sweep away all things
with your hidden inner might.
Copy !req
222. Splash Flow.
Copy !req
223. What happened?
Copy !req
224. H-Hey!
Copy !req
225. What's going on?
Copy !req
226. Rudy?
Copy !req
227. Rudy!
Copy !req
228. Are you hurt?
Copy !req
229. N-No.
Copy !req
230. Was it a monster?
Copy !req
231. No, around here there aren't...
Copy !req
232. Oh?
Copy !req
233. Rudy, did you read this book out loud?
Copy !req
234. Huh? Scary.
Copy !req
235. What's that look?
Copy !req
236. Maybe kids who use magic are dangerous
and get sent off to an inquisition?
Copy !req
237. No! Don't burn me at the stake!
Copy !req
238. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
239. Did you hear that, dear?
Copy !req
240. I knew our boy was a genius!
Copy !req
241. Hang on. This is an intermediate—
Copy !req
242. Let's hire a magic tutor right now!
Copy !req
243. But wait, we haven't even taught him to re—
Copy !req
244. I'm sure he'll grow up to be an amazing mage!
Copy !req
245. Wait a minute! We promised that
if it were a boy, he'd be a swordsman.
Copy !req
246. But he can do intermediate magic at his age!
Copy !req
247. A promise is a promise!
Copy !req
248. You're one to talk!
You break yours all the time!
Copy !req
249. This has nothing to do with me!
Copy !req
250. Why not teach him magic in the morning
and swordsmanship in the afternoon?
Copy !req
251. It's not good to fight
in front of the baby, dear.
Copy !req
252. I guess not.
Copy !req
253. And so, we decided to hire me a magic tutor.
Copy !req
254. Paul spends all day at home swinging his sword,
Copy !req
255. but he's technically a knight
put in charge of this village.
Copy !req
256. I guess that's why he can
afford a tutor for a kid like me.
Copy !req
257. But this is the sticks on
the edge of the country.
Copy !req
258. Will anyone actually apply out here?
Copy !req
259. Or so I worried, but they found one in no time.
Copy !req
260. My parents expected
a retired adventurer to apply.
Copy !req
261. Good day.
Copy !req
262. Good day.
Copy !req
263. So, we figured on a middle-aged
or old man with a big, bushy beard,
Copy !req
264. Good day.
Copy !req
265. a veteran spellcaster who really screams "mage."
Copy !req
266. I'm Roxy Migurdia.
Copy !req
267. Pleased to meet you.
Copy !req
268. What the hell?
Copy !req
269. Forget a beard; she looks like
her bush hasn't grown in yet.
Copy !req
270. Maybe middle-school age?
Copy !req
271. Loli, scornful gaze, unsociable:
three traits that equal perfection.
Copy !req
272. I want to marry her.
Copy !req
273. Oh, you're the, um... home tutor?
Copy !req
274. You're awfully, well...
Copy !req
275. She's tiny!
Copy !req
276. You're a fine one to talk.
Copy !req
277. Maybe she's sensitive about it?
Copy !req
278. I didn't mean her chest, though.
Copy !req
279. So, where is the student I'll be teaching?
Copy !req
280. Oh, he's right here!
Copy !req
281. You do see them sometimes.
Copy !req
282. Idiot parents who think their kid has
talent just because he's an early bloomer.
Copy !req
283. We can hear you, Roxy!
Copy !req
284. Looks like this one's a dud.
Copy !req
285. Excuse me?
Copy !req
286. Nothing!
Copy !req
287. Only, I doubt that child could
comprehend the theory of magic.
Copy !req
288. Don't worry! Our little Rudy is amazing!
Copy !req
289. I understand. I'll do what I can.
Copy !req
290. Huh? We're doing it outside?
Copy !req
291. Naturally.
Copy !req
292. In broad terms, there are
only three types of magic.
Copy !req
293. Attack magic, healing magic,
and summoning magic.
Copy !req
294. Each is divided into seven ranks: beginner, intermediate, advanced, sacred, royal, imperial, and divine.
Copy !req
295. And to use magic, you need magical power.
Copy !req
296. Either the magical power within you, or...
Copy !req
297. Is something wrong?
Copy !req
298. Oh, no.
Copy !req
299. All right, then.
Copy !req
300. Anyway, I'll start by demonstrating
an incantation, so repeat after me.
Copy !req
301. Do you need the incantation?
Copy !req
302. Of course you do.
Copy !req
303. I thought so.
Copy !req
304. Let the great protection of water
be on the place thou seekest.
Copy !req
305. I call a refreshing,
burbling stream here and now.
Copy !req
306. Water Ball!
Copy !req
307. What do you think?
Copy !req
308. Miss, my mom worked hard to raise
that tree, so I think she'll get mad.
Copy !req
309. Huh?
Copy !req
310. Th-That won't do, will it?
Copy !req
311. Divine power is rich and nourishing.
Copy !req
312. It offers the strength to rise again
to those who have lost their strength.
Copy !req
313. Healing!
Copy !req
314. Oh, wow.
Copy !req
315. You can use healing magic, too!
Copy !req
316. Yes, up to intermediate level.
Copy !req
317. Wow! That's amazing!
Copy !req
318. No, anyone can do as much
if they train properly.
Copy !req
319. A little praise goes right to her head.
Copy !req
320. Now, you try it.
Copy !req
321. Okay!
Copy !req
322. The Magic Manual didn't mention
incantation-less spells either.
Copy !req
323. I'd been using them without thinking,
but maybe that's taboo.
Copy !req
324. Roxy said you need incantations, too,
Copy !req
325. so I should say them for now.
Copy !req
326. They could be important.
Copy !req
327. Let the great protection of water
be on the place thou seekest...
Copy !req
328. What are you doing?
Copy !req
329. Oh, n-nothing!
Copy !req
330. How did I do?
Copy !req
331. You cut the incantation short.
Copy !req
332. I did.
Copy !req
333. Do you always abridge it like that?
Copy !req
334. I usually... just skip it.
Copy !req
335. Skip it?
Copy !req
336. So, you usually omit the incantation.
Copy !req
337. I see.
Copy !req
338. It looks like you'll be worth training.
Copy !req
339. Oh.
Copy !req
340. Roxy! Don't use my trees as test subjects!
Copy !req
341. Huh?
Copy !req
342. Oh, honestly!
Copy !req
343. I screwed up right away.
Copy !req
344. I guess I'll be fired tomorrow.
Copy !req
345. I'm sorry, miss. It was my fault.
Copy !req
346. Damn it. I went almost 20 years without having a conversation.
Copy !req
347. I don't know what to say at times like this.
Copy !req
348. No, think. You've done this lots of times.
Copy !req
349. Channel the main character of your favorite 18+ dating sim!
Copy !req
350. You didn't screw up, miss.
You gained experience.
Copy !req
351. I-I suppose so.
Copy !req
352. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
353. Ow!
Copy !req
354. More importantly, Roxy.
Copy !req
355. Y-Yes?
Copy !req
356. Let's go inside.
Copy !req
357. Let's start by introducing ourselves, okay?
Copy !req
358. Hey!
Copy !req
359. Hurry up!
Copy !req
360. I'm grateful, but I have
nothing to offer you in return.
Copy !req
361. Don't be silly.
Copy !req
362. Now, come on in.
Copy !req
363. You too, Rudy.
Copy !req
364. Okay!
Copy !req
365. Okay, let's get Roxy's welcome party started!
Copy !req
366. It's like a dream.
Copy !req
367. A dream I'm having as I die from that crash.
Copy !req
368. No.
Copy !req
369. Even if it is, I don't care.
Copy !req
370. In this world, I bet even I can make it.
Copy !req
371. If I live and try as hard as everyone else,
Copy !req
372. get back up when I fall,
and keep facing forward...
Copy !req
373. Maybe I can do it.
Copy !req
374. Maybe even I...
Copy !req
375. Maybe even a jobless, reclusive bum like me
Copy !req
376. can get a do-over at life,
Copy !req
377. and can get serious about living.
Copy !req
