1. Keep it down.
Copy !req
2. Get out, you worthless bum!
Copy !req
3. Shit.
Copy !req
4. What the hell did I do to deserve this?
Copy !req
5. That doesn't mean you can...
Copy !req
6. Wa... Wa...
Copy !req
7. Watch...
Copy !req
8. Watch out!
Copy !req
9. I was making figures with
earth magic, partly for training.
Copy !req
10. Guess I ran out of MP.
Copy !req
11. My magic power has grown a lot,
but I've still got a long way to go.
Copy !req
12. Gotta keep at it!
Copy !req
13. That aside...
Copy !req
14. They're really going at it.
I'm hoping for a little sister.
Copy !req
15. No more younger brothers, please.
Copy !req
16. Why don't I try saying something to them today?
Copy !req
17. "Mommy, daddy,
Copy !req
18. what are you doing naked?"
Copy !req
19. I can't wait to hear them all flustered.
Copy !req
20. Roxy's a growing girl.
Copy !req
21. Even I have the decency to
pretend I didn't see anything.
Copy !req
22. Just kidding.
Copy !req
23. Man, what a feast for the eyes.
Copy !req
24. It's been six months since Roxy got here.
Copy !req
25. She's a good teacher.
Her classes are interesting and fun.
Copy !req
26. Thanks to her, I can use up to
intermediate magic no problem.
Copy !req
27. So, now I'm doing night classes with Roxy.
Copy !req
28. Oh, just because they're at night
doesn't mean we're having sexy times.
Copy !req
29. Magic supposedly originated in the distant past,
when a certain race spoke with spirits
Copy !req
30. and used wind and earth to defend themselves from external threats.
Copy !req
31. Modern magic is the result
of humans imitating that magic
Copy !req
32. and formalizing it during
their long war with demonkind.
Copy !req
33. So there's a whole history to this stuff, huh?
Copy !req
34. Naturally.
Copy !req
35. I guess it's no use pretending to be a kid.
Copy !req
36. It's a tough life.
Copy !req
37. Still, I'm surprised.
Copy !req
38. This world has spirits
and demons in it, too, huh?
Copy !req
39. Of course it does.
Copy !req
40. Oh, I'm a demon myself, by the way.
Copy !req
41. Wow! Are you really?
Copy !req
42. Yes.
Copy !req
43. Didn't you notice how surprised
Paul and Zenith were to see me?
Copy !req
44. Because you're so tiny, right?
Copy !req
45. I am not tiny.
Copy !req
46. They were surprised to see my hair color.
Copy !req
47. Why?
Copy !req
48. Haven't you even heard of a terrifying
race of demons called the Superd?
Copy !req
49. No.
Copy !req
50. Are they scary?
Copy !req
51. Very.
Copy !req
52. Four or five centuries ago,
Copy !req
53. there was a big war between humans
and demons called the Laplace War.
Copy !req
54. In that war, the Superd went on a rampage.
Copy !req
55. They slaughtered friend and foe alike
without regard for women or children.
Copy !req
56. That earned them the hatred of every race.
Copy !req
57. After the war ended, I'm told they
were driven from the Demon Continent.
Copy !req
58. That shows how dangerous they are.
Copy !req
59. I was often warned about them as a child.
Copy !req
60. "If you stay up late, the Superd
will come and gobble you up."
Copy !req
61. So, this world has things like that, too.
Copy !req
62. Anyway, pay attention:
Copy !req
63. Never go near anyone with emerald-green hair and what looks like a red gem on their forehead!
Copy !req
64. What will happen if I do?
Copy !req
65. They might kill your whole family.
Copy !req
66. I'll be careful.
Copy !req
67. My hair can look like that
shade of green in the wrong light.
Copy !req
68. Your hair is pretty, miss.
Copy !req
69. Thank you.
Copy !req
70. But you should save things like that
to say to a girl you like someday.
Copy !req
71. I like you, miss.
Copy !req
72. I see.
Copy !req
73. If you still feel the same
way ten years from now,
Copy !req
74. say it to me again.
Copy !req
75. I see the nice-guy skills I honed on
dating sims aren't totally useless.
Copy !req
76. Thank you for the lesson.
Copy !req
77. You're welcome. Good night.
Copy !req
78. Even embarrassing lines that
would've sounded corny in my old life
Copy !req
79. are passionate and unique
spark plugs of love in this world.
Copy !req
80. Okay, even I don't know what that means.
Copy !req
81. The Superd will gobble you up.
Copy !req
82. Okay.
Copy !req
83. It's been about a year since Roxy got here.
Copy !req
84. My magic lessons are going smoothly.
Copy !req
85. My steady practice must have paid off,
Copy !req
86. because I never feel myself
running out of magic power anymore.
Copy !req
87. As for swordsmanship...
Copy !req
88. Step in with a woosh! Then...
Copy !req
89. slash!
Copy !req
90. That's basically it. You got that?
Copy !req
91. Step in with a woosh, and then...
Copy !req
92. Like this?
Copy !req
93. You idiot!
Copy !req
94. That's stepping in with a hop, and then, wham!
Copy !req
95. It's whoosh, then slash!
Copy !req
96. Well, I'm still only four,
and my body's not conditioned.
Copy !req
97. I've got a long way to go. I'll work at it.
Copy !req
98. Hey! Wait!
Copy !req
99. What are you doing over there?
Copy !req
100. Oh, nothing.
Copy !req
101. My hometown was in a land where not
even a blade of grass would grow,
Copy !req
102. so I can't really describe how
this scenery makes me feel.
Copy !req
103. I really am enjoying myself, miss!
Copy !req
104. I hope every day keeps going like this!
Copy !req
105. Look there.
Copy !req
106. You can see mountains in the distance.
Copy !req
107. The Red Dragon Mountains, right?
Copy !req
108. That's right. You're studying hard.
Copy !req
109. Far to the north of here, beyond those mountains, is a country called Ranoa.
Copy !req
110. What's it like?
Copy !req
111. In winter, it's very cold
and covered in deep snow.
Copy !req
112. The snow piles up this high.
Copy !req
113. That's amazing. I'd love to see it.
Copy !req
114. The Ranoa University of Magic is the
best school of magic in the world.
Copy !req
115. It offers advanced lectures using modern theory.
Copy !req
116. School. Not my favorite word.
Copy !req
117. At Magic University,
Copy !req
118. social status and self-importance don't matter.
Copy !req
119. It takes in students of all races and
diligently pursues magical research.
Copy !req
120. If you want to keep walking the path of magic,
Copy !req
121. I recommend you go to Ranoa.
Copy !req
122. I'd have to leave the house before I could...
Copy !req
123. Nothing.
Copy !req
124. I don't need to go all the way out there.
Copy !req
125. You're the only master I need!
Copy !req
126. Don't call me your master.
Copy !req
127. Huh?
Copy !req
128. I'm sure you'll surpass me easily.
Copy !req
129. You wouldn't want to call
someone worse than you "master," right?
Copy !req
130. I really wouldn't mind.
Copy !req
131. You'll understand sooner or later.
Copy !req
132. It's been a year and a half since Roxy got here.
Copy !req
133. This country has no custom of
celebrating birthdays every year.
Copy !req
134. There!
Copy !req
135. But apparently, they do have a custom
Copy !req
136. of throwing a big party
for every fifth birthday.
Copy !req
137. At ages 5, 10, and 15.
Copy !req
138. Here.
Copy !req
139. You become an adult at 15, so it's easy to understand.
Copy !req
140. Well?
Copy !req
141. Happy fifth birthday, Rudy!
Copy !req
142. I wish you a very happy birthday,
Master Rudeus.
Copy !req
143. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
144. How long has it been since
anyone celebrated my birthday?
Copy !req
145. Ever since I became a recluse, it's been
less exciting than tax day.
Copy !req
146. I'd forgotten this feeling.
Copy !req
147. It's surprisingly nice.
Copy !req
148. Happy birthday.
Copy !req
149. This is for you.
Copy !req
150. Thank you very much, Father.
Copy !req
151. Ahem. Well...
Copy !req
152. You may still be too young for that sword,
Copy !req
153. but a man has to carry a sword inside his heart.
Copy !req
154. You have to be prepared to
defend those who are dear to you.
Copy !req
155. You'll have a wife and kids of your own someday.
Copy !req
156. It will be your duty to protect them.
Copy !req
157. You can't get full of yourself just
because you know a little magic.
Copy !req
158. Magic is bad in close combat and
can't keep up with fast-paced battles.
Copy !req
159. Swordsmanship has the advantage there.
Copy !req
160. If you master—
Copy !req
161. Enough!
Copy !req
162. Happy birthday!
Copy !req
163. Here. I know you love books, so...
Copy !req
164. Thank you very much, Mother!
Copy !req
165. It's just what I wanted!
Copy !req
166. Oh, what a good boy you are!
Copy !req
167. Here, Rudy.
Copy !req
168. That's a magic stone.
Copy !req
169. It acts to amplify magic power,
so it should be useful.
Copy !req
170. It's really pretty.
Copy !req
171. Students who master beginner magic are customarily given wands,
Copy !req
172. but you could already use it,
so it slipped my mind.
Copy !req
173. My apologies.
Copy !req
174. No, thank you very much.
Copy !req
175. I'll take good care of it, Master.
Copy !req
176. You've learned four types of
advanced attack magic at your age.
Copy !req
177. Feel free to act a little more conceited.
Copy !req
178. No, it's because you taught me well, Master.
Copy !req
179. Be that as it may, there's now very little left
Copy !req
180. that I'm able to teach you.
Copy !req
181. Rudy,
Copy !req
182. I'll hold your graduation exam tomorrow.
Copy !req
183. Graduation?
Copy !req
184. As soon as I look outside, I remember—
Copy !req
185. remember that day.
Copy !req
186. Limp dick!
Copy !req
187. Regret, despair...
Copy !req
188. I remember like it was yesterday.
Copy !req
189. In my old life, I always fantasized
while agonizing in my room.
Copy !req
190. If I suddenly awakened to amazing powers,
Copy !req
191. or if a hot girl suddenly moved in with me,
Copy !req
192. I'm sure I could try hard.
Copy !req
193. Limp dick!
Copy !req
194. Now one of those dreams has come true,
Copy !req
195. but my feet won't move.
Copy !req
196. That despair is waiting for me outside.
Copy !req
197. Be brave. Try your best.
Copy !req
198. I'm too scared to take a step forward.
Copy !req
199. I promised myself I'd get serious,
Copy !req
200. but my body refuses to keep up.
Copy !req
201. Honestly, I want to cry.
Copy !req
202. There, there.
Copy !req
203. Outside?
Copy !req
204. Yes, outside the village.
Copy !req
205. Can't we do it in the garden?
Copy !req
206. We cannot.
Copy !req
207. We can't, huh?
Copy !req
208. He never wants to go out for some reason.
Copy !req
209. Maybe he's scared of monsters.
Copy !req
210. You don't run into many monsters in this area.
Copy !req
211. And even if you did, they're so weak that you could handle them yourself.
Copy !req
212. Rudy, Caravaggio is really docile.
Copy !req
213. Let me guess: You're scared of horses.
Copy !req
214. I-I wouldn't say I'm scared of horses.
Copy !req
215. You act your age when I least expect it.
Copy !req
216. Okay, upsie-daisy.
Copy !req
217. There.
Copy !req
218. Once you get on,
it'll stop being scary in no time.
Copy !req
219. Master, I can't!
Copy !req
220. Don't worry.
Copy !req
221. I'm with you, so there's
nothing to be afraid of.
Copy !req
222. Rudy, hang in there!
Copy !req
223. See? That wasn't so bad.
Copy !req
224. Don't look at me.
Copy !req
225. Why are you staring? Stop.
Copy !req
226. Thanks for the other day.
Copy !req
227. You're welcome.
Copy !req
228. No, it's not me.
Copy !req
229. Morning, Roxy.
Copy !req
230. Good morning.
Copy !req
231. They're all looking at Roxy.
Copy !req
232. Caravaggio is in a good mood.
Copy !req
233. I think he's happy you're riding him, Rudy.
Copy !req
234. He is?
Copy !req
235. What's wrong? Are you still scared?
Copy !req
236. No, I'm fine now.
Copy !req
237. What was I afraid of?
Copy !req
238. Who's going to make fun of me
in a peaceful village like this?
Copy !req
239. Hello.
Copy !req
240. Hello!
Copy !req
241. Hello!
Copy !req
242. Hello!
Copy !req
243. Roxy's amazing. She's at home
in the village after just two years.
Copy !req
244. Hello.
Copy !req
245. With a strange, frightening hair color, even.
Copy !req
246. Hello!
Copy !req
247. It's a nice village, huh, Master?
Copy !req
248. Yes.
Copy !req
249. I'm quite fond of it, too.
Copy !req
250. This looks like a good spot.
Copy !req
251. It feels nice, huh?
Copy !req
252. I will now use sacred-level water magic.
Copy !req
253. I only have the ability to cast it once.
Copy !req
254. Watch closely, memorize it, and then cast it.
Copy !req
255. That's your final exam.
Copy !req
256. Are we doing it away from people
because it's a secret spell?
Copy !req
257. No.
Copy !req
258. We're doing it because
it might harm people or crops.
Copy !req
259. Grand spirit of water and imperial prince
of lightning who ascends the heavens,
Copy !req
260. grant my wish and bring about a savage blessing.
Copy !req
261. Display your might to this puny being.
Copy !req
262. Strike awe with a blow of
your divine hammer on the anvil,
Copy !req
263. and cover the land in water!
Copy !req
264. Ah, Rain!
Copy !req
265. Sweep all else away and expel everything!
Copy !req
266. Cumulonimbus!
Copy !req
267. Huh?
Copy !req
268. Oh!
Copy !req
269. Wh-What should I do?
Copy !req
270. H-Hurry, Master, cast Healing!
Copy !req
271. Th-That's right!
Copy !req
272. That was a close one.
Copy !req
273. M-May I ask you to keep this between us?
Copy !req
274. Don't worry. I won't say a word.
Copy !req
275. Thank you kindly.
Copy !req
276. Now, you try it!
Copy !req
277. I'll protect Caravaggio!
Copy !req
278. A final exam.
Copy !req
279. That means this is the end of our home tutoring.
Copy !req
280. Grand spirit of water and imperial prince
of lightning who ascends the heavens,
Copy !req
281. grant my wish and bring
about a savage blessing.
Copy !req
282. This is Roxy we're dealing with.
Copy !req
283. She'll say, "I can't impose on you
when I have nothing left to teach,"
Copy !req
284. Display your might to this puny being.
Copy !req
285. Strike awe with a blow of
your divine hammer on the anvil,
Copy !req
286. and just leave the house tomorrow.
Copy !req
287. That makes this our last day.
Copy !req
288. and cover the land in water!
Copy !req
289. Wow.
Copy !req
290. Ah, Rain!
Copy !req
291. Sweep all else away and expel everything!
Copy !req
292. I wish I'd talked with her more.
Copy !req
293. Cumulonimbus!
Copy !req
294. I didn't tell you to make it
bigger than my demonstration.
Copy !req
295. Did I overdo it?
Copy !req
296. It's a shame.
Copy !req
297. Now there really is
nothing more I can teach you.
Copy !req
298. Congratulations.
Copy !req
299. You are now a sacred-level water mage.
Copy !req
300. You don't have to leave, you know, Roxy.
Copy !req
301. I have a lot more recipes to teach you.
Copy !req
302. Yeah. The villagers would
love to have you around.
Copy !req
303. I'm deeply grateful,
Copy !req
304. but I plan to travel the world
Copy !req
305. and hone my magical abilities over again.
Copy !req
306. I see.
Copy !req
307. Well, I guess...
Copy !req
308. Sorry.
Copy !req
309. It looks like our son made you lose confidence.
Copy !req
310. That's not a great way to put it, Paul.
Copy !req
311. Rudy, I did the best I could,
Copy !req
312. but it seems I lack the ability to guide you.
Copy !req
313. That's not true.
Copy !req
314. You taught me all sorts of things, Master.
Copy !req
315. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
316. What's this?
Copy !req
317. A charm from my hometown.
Copy !req
318. I didn't have time to
prepare a graduation party,
Copy !req
319. so this will have to do.
Copy !req
320. I'll treasure it!
Copy !req
321. That would make me happy.
Copy !req
322. Now, it's time I go.
Copy !req
323. Goodbye.
Copy !req
324. Master!
Copy !req
325. Thank you very much!
Copy !req
326. I really did get a lot from her.
Copy !req
327. Knowledge, experience, technique.
Copy !req
328. But most importantly, she brought me outside.
Copy !req
329. I went outside. That's all it was.
Copy !req
330. But it was definitely a trauma I was carrying.
Copy !req
331. She healed it for me.
Copy !req
332. She didn't do it on purpose. I know that.
Copy !req
333. Still,
Copy !req
334. young as she is, I'm giving her my deepest respect.
Copy !req
335. Or so I declared,
Copy !req
336. but I still had a pair of Roxy's panties
I stole a few months ago.
Copy !req
337. Sorry.
Copy !req
