Volume 2 (1/2)
[]
I'
I'th from the beast's claws
I escape with allwith me a heart full of fear
Over the stairs Ju to the roof So down
”Where are you?!”
That fellow releases a roar and chases after me
No matter where I run
I'th
After all I have been running since I was 2 or 3, training in the sword
But this bit of self confidence has been shattered
That fellow, as if toout of breath, with blood red hair flying in the winds
That fellow does not know theup” No matter how far I run, the instant I relax, will be the ap bit by bit
”Haaa Haaa”
I' to run out of breath
I can't keep running I'm already unable to escape
I'll hide There's only that option
”Gulp”
I hide in the shadow of the stairs, observing from the area that allows observation of the plants, when I hear the beast roaring from the center of the mansion
”I will never forgive you!”
This roar s tremble
I am Rudeus Greyrat 7 years old
I have bright tea colored hair I'm a robust bishounen, and a former 34 year old NEET
Because I didn't go to ot killed by a truck But because of fate's bad joke, I have retained my memories and reincarnated as a baby
I have reflected on , and in these 7 years, I have worked hard to live earnestly
Learning how to speak and write, learning ood relationshi+ps witha cute childhood friend nao to school with Sylphy, I have co me earn for two people's share for the school fees, and come to the city of Roa
If I co lady's education, the eh it's supposed to be so like that
”Come out wherever you are! I'll crush you into bits!”
I look out from the observation area, and shi+ver from the beast's noises
Tre froirl
------ Why has it turned out this way?
I'll have to trace it back to 1 hour ago
When we reached Roa, it had turned into evening
The distance between the village Buina and Roa is about a day's journey on a horse carriage
If you count the time, it's about 6-7 hours You can say that's far, but if you said it's near, it wouldn't be untrue
The city of Roa, is indeed one of the largest cities around here, as it is a bustling place
The first thing that I see are the walls
They surround the city to about 7-8 h, and look very reliable
Around the city gate, there is an unending flow of traffic, and once we're inside, I immediately see all sorts of hawkers
And right at the place where we just entered, there are a series of inns and stables
The citizens arear by, and the entire place looks like a fantasy out of a storybook
There are soht at an area as if they are waiting for so
What could it be?
”Ghyslaine, do you knohat that is?”
I ask the person sitting opposite me
Having beast's ears and a tail, and wearing very revealing leather clothes with chocolate-colored skin underneath theuy with muscles ----- No, it's a female soman
Ghyslaine Dedorudia
Third in the Sword-God style rankings, a forreed to teachto
She's the second teacher to me
” Kid”
She reveals an irritated expression to my question
”Are you treating me as an idiot?”
Ghyslaine glares atme
”Ah no I'm just I don't knohat that is, so I wanted to ask”
”Ah, sorry That's what you meant”
Seeing that I'm about to break into tears, Ghyslaine swiftly replies
”That's the waiting area for the public carriage Going from city to city requires that, and if you pay the driver money, you can take it”
Ghyslaine points to the shop houses one by one, telling me that this is a weapon store, that's a bar, and over there is so association Hey wait, that's a pretty suspicious shop
Even though her appearance frightens people, she's very friendly
We enter into a corner, and the ates
After the nuress forward in the horse carriage, we see many residential shops
Theredeep in the alley
It looks like a planned placement
If there are ene here will defend, while the citizens escape into the heart of the city, or escape from the opposite direction
Since it's this kind of concept, the rander the horses are, and even the shops are taller
The deeper you go into the center, the richer the people
And then, right at the center of the city, is the tallest building
”This is the owner's mansion”
”Rather than saying it's a mansion, this is more like a castle”
It is said that 400 years ago, this place was held as the last line of defense It's a city with a long history
So this is the castle in the city
But only the part about history is true, the nobles that are at the capital deem this as a place where many low class adventurers reside in
”It seeh since we're co here”
”Not exactly”
Ghyslaine shakes her head
But since the Lord's mansion is already in front ofaround here are obviously high class
Orin this area situated near the borders, the rank h
”Eh?”
As I think of that, the driver greets the person at the ate
And enters it
”Is that the Lord's daughter?”
”No”
”Is it not?”
”Almost”
Is there soet it
The horse carriage stops
When we enter the ht into a roouests
The butler points towards the two sofas
This is the first interview for me
I'll do this carefully
”Please sit over there”
I obey and sit down, and Ghyslaine leaves without saying a word and stands at the corner of the room
Which can oversee the entire area
If that happened back in my past life, I would think it was chuunibyou
”The young master is about to come Please wait a moment”
The butler pours a liquid that reseh class teacup, and waits at the entrance
I drink the stea liquid
It isn't bad Even though I don't kno to sample the quality of red tea, this must be quite expensive
Froe prepared for Ghyslaine It seeuest
”Where is it!”
When I ponder over this stuff, a huge voice and angry footsteps travel from the side of the rooms
”Is it here?”
A robust looking hly enters the room
His age seems to be around 50 years old, and his dark brown hair is mixed with a little white hair, but he seeood shape
I place the cup down and stand up, bending rees
”I'm pleased to meet you, my name is Rudeus Greyrat”
The man snorts in dissatisfaction
”H!”
”Old e He's still young and hasn't had the tiive that small rudeness”
”Shut it”
The butler doesn't speak after he gets shouted at
This old Master guy should be the one who hired me
He looks like he's really angry As if I'm inadequate somewhere
Even though I want to greet with care, it seems that noble's etiquette has its set of rules
”Hmph, Paul doesn't even teach the formalities to his son!”
”I heard that Father hated the stiff rules, and thus he purposely did not teach me”
”An excuse right away! You're the same as Paul”
”Does father always find excuses?”
”What do you think? Whenever he opens his mouth, it's an excuse If he wets the bed, he finds an excuse If he quarrels, he finds an excuse If he lazes in his studies, he also finds an excuse”
I see That's true
”If you want to learn so, at least know etiquette! You didn't try it at all and that is how you turned out this way!”
But what he says isn't wrong and not without reason
I have only learnedso new
Perhaps my vision is too narrow
I must reflect on it earnestly
”You are right This is indeed caused by ize deeply for this”
The old master stomps on the floor with his feet as I lower my head
”But it seems that you didn't use it as an excuse, and tried your best to present a formal pose! I'll allow you to stay in the mansion!”
I don't really get what's going on, but it seeiven
After the old Master thron this line, he turns his body vigorously and leaves like a storm
”Who is?”
I look at the butler and ask
”The Lord of Fedoa Sauros Boreas Greyrat-sama He's Master Paul's uncle”
So that guy's a lord
He's a little too overbearing I really worry about his ruling Well, there are ure, he probably won't be able to handle the duties of a lord
Hm? Greyrat, Uncle?
”That means he's my Grandfather's brother?”
”Yes”
I had already guessed that Paul utilized the relationshi+p that he broke off
But co nobles
That guy ood place somewhere
”What's wrong Thomas? Why is the door always open?”
Another person enters from from the other side of the door
”But father looks quite happy Did so happen?”
That guy ood place somewhere
A ht tea-colored hair
According to the way he describes father, he must be Paul's cousin
”Young Master I am really sorry Old Master has just met Rudeus sama and seems to be pleased with him”
”Hoh, a child that Father took notice of Did he choose wrongly? Hmm”
He says while walking to the sofa opposite of me, and sits down
Ah, that's right, I better quickly greet him
”Pleased to meet you, my name is Rudeus Greyrat”
I lower my head with almost the same bow that I did earlier
”Ah, reeting, they will bring their right hand to their chest and lower their head slightly Frootten scolded”
”Is it so like that?”
I imitated Philip's actions and raised my head a little
”Soreeted isn't bad If a blacksreeted Father that way, he would have probably been happy Sit”
Philip sits back doith a plop
I follow his directions to sit
Has the interview started?
”How much exactly do you understand?”
”He said that if I teach the Ojou-sao into the Magic University”
”Is that all?”
”Yes”
”I see”
Philips puts his hands under his chin, as if to think about so, and his eyes look at the table
”Do you like girls?”
”Not to the level of Father”
”Is that so? Okay You pass”
Ah? Ara?
That was too fast, right?
”As of now, that child only favors two people, Edena who teaches etiquette, and Ghyslaine who teaches the sword Before this, 5 people have been sacked One of theht in the royal palace”
Even if he taught at the royal palace, the way he teaches ood, but I didn't say that out loud
” Does this have anything to do with liking girls?”
”Not at all Because Paul is one ould try anything for a cute girl, I' if you're the same”
Philip shrugs his shoulders
I'rouped uy
”To be clear, I don't hold any expectations of you Because you're Paul's son, I want you to try in any case”
”Whoa That's a little too clear”
”What's the matter? Do you have the confidence?”
I don't really have it
But even if I don't, I can't say it out loud in this atmosphere
”I'm not too sure until I meet her”
If I fail at this job and search for another, I'll be laughed at very hard by Paul Saying so
Are you kidding me?
How can I be laughed at by a guy who's younger than me?
Muuu
”If it doesn't work out in reality, let's try acting it out”
I'll use e
A method to tame the Ojou-sama
”Act out How does that work?”
I describe it cleanly
”When I'et kidnapped by a certain faic to escape with the Ojou-sath to the mansion”
After listening to my words, Philip keeps quiet for a while, but quickly understands the plot and nods
”In other words, you want her to take the initiative to learn Interesting But will it be that smooth?”
”I think that it has a better chance than the adults educating her”
A plot that usually happens in ania
After witnessing or living through an incident, a child who hates books will learn the i
Even if it's a self directed and self acted scene
”Is that soht, whatever that you said, afrom your palms?”
”No Even if Father doesn't do all that, he's still very popular”
”Popu Pffff”
Philip snorts in laughter
”That's true That guy always had the ladies luck Even if he stands there, there will be a girl co up to him”
”Anyone that Father knows seems to have hooked up with him Even Ghyslaine over there seems to be one”
”Ah That's really so to be envious of”
”I worry whether he will lay his hands on e”
After I say that, I begin to really worry
5 years later, she will grow up
When I go back, Sylphy has become one of my mothers Oh my God
”You don't need to worry about that Paul is only interested in girls who are ”big””
Philip looks at Ghyslaine in the corner as he says that
”I, I see”
I look at Ghyslaine She's huge
Zenith and Lilia are also big
What do I ?
Of course, it's the boobs
”If it's 5 years, it should be fine AAlso, I think Paul wouldn't be so sick”
Is that so?
And this guy actually knows that Sylphy is an elf
Then, as a precaution, I'll treat everything that has happened in Buina village, to have been thoroughly investigated
”I should say sohter”?”
”What exactly are you worried of from a 7 year old kid?”
That's really too rude I won't do anything at all At most, she will fall in love with me (I'll lead her)
”But judging froirl in the village, and he had to forcefully h I think it's a joke, after listening to your plans just now, this ht not be fake”
”I'm only just a friend of Sylphy”
And I want to raise irl
------ Even if you tear my lips apart, that will never be said out loud
Sos that don't need to be said, shouldn't be said
”Well, fine Nothing will progress if we just talk I'll let you seeher!”
Philip stands up as he finishes saying that
Just like that, she and I meet
--- This shrew is really haughty
The first timent
She's older than me by two years The corner of her eyes are raised, and she has wave-like hair
Her hair color is crimson It's as if it's a pure red that has been painted on
Tords Totally explosive
Perhaps she will becouys will think [It's impossible between me and her]
Maybe a natural M Nah Not even that low class
In any case, she's dangerous
Every cell in et close to her
”Pleased to meet you My name is Rudeus Greyrat”
But, in any case, I can't run away
I'll use what I learned just now
”Hmph!”
She snorts the sarandfather did from the first look
She stands with both of her feet planted to the ground, looking atdown from above
She's taller than me
She displays an unhappy attitude after seeing me, and says:
”What the heck? Aren't you s to let someone like this teach me!?”
Wah wah blah Her pride seeh
But I can't retreat from this
”I think that it doesn't have anything to do with age”
”What did you say!? You dare to argue with me!?”
What did you say!? You dare to argue with me!?
Her voice is so loud My eardrums are about to shatter
”It'sthat Ojou-sama can't do, that I can do”
With that said, Ojou-saht,
I have never seen anger that can materialize
This is utterly frightening
Guh crap Why do I have to be scared of a child who hasn't turned ten?
”What? You're too arrogant Do you knoho I am?”
”You're my older cousin”
I hide my fear, and answer
”Cousin? What's that?”
”My father's cousin's daughter You can say that you're hter”
”What kind of confusing rubbish is that!”
Was it so incorrect?
Well,the name of the relative is easier
”Have you heard of the name Paul?”
”How can it be possible that I heard it before!?”
”Is that so?”
I feel surprised that she doesn't know the name
In any case, I'll talk to her
You hs once said that
The next instant that I think of that
Ojou-sama raises her hand
Pam!
” Eh?”
That was too sudden
The Ojou-sama suddenly strikes me
My mind is a little confused, and I ask her
”Why did you hit me?”
”Because you're so arrogant when you're smaller than me!”
”Oh, I see”
The cheek that was hit stings
That really hurts
The second ie Violence
I really have no choice
”Then, I' back”
”Hah!?”
I didn't wait for her reply and slapped her
Pu!
That sounds really weird
It is probably that I' Well, never mind It probably still hurts
”When you hit people, it hurts”
Do you understand now ------? As I prepare to say that, I saw that Ojou-sa her fist in fury
The Deva King Exactly the same
Without waiting for me to think, she hits me
I stumble backwards, and she continues with a kick
My entire body flies backwards, after that impact to my chest
The next moment, she has mounted me
My hands are sealed ith her legs
A, ara? I can't move?
”Wait, hey”
My aard voice is covered by the Ojou-sama's roars of fury
”You actually attacked ret it!”
The punches co at me
”O, s, stop, eh, no, stop that”
After the 5th punch, I finally use ic and escape from under her
I holde her
I use a wind ic shock wave aimed at the Ojou-sama's face
”No, longer can be forgiven”
The Ojou-sama's face receives the blow and flies upwards, but she doesn't stop for onelike a monster
After seeing that expression, I realize I a
I quickly run away in a tu manner
That isn't an arrogant Ojou-sama
That's like the protagonist in a delinquent a
Maybe I can use ic to beat her senseless
But she will absolutely not listen to me
And once that Ojou-sae
I can try using Magic to bring her down every time
But she will not feel any setbacks
And she's different froardless of how despicable an act is, she will definitely use it
Like throwing a vase fro a wooden sword to cut me
She will use everything that she has, and return ten tie
And she will not have mercy
This isn't a joke I can't use healing ic if I don't chant it
And the battle doesn't end, she will never listen to me
Using brute force against her
That is not an option I can ever choose this time
And then, we go back to the beginning
After that, Ojou-sa, and returns to her bedroom
She didn't discover me
But she nearly found me When that red haired devil walked in front of ht I would experience the feelings of the protagonist in a horror movie
When I return to Philip in exhaustion, he smiles wryly to me
”Hoas it?”
”Nothing works”
I half cry when replying
When I got hit by her, I alht I would be killed When I escaped, I almost cried out
I haven't experienced that for a really long ti ti like this before
Still This isn't psychological trauma
”Then, are you giving up?”
”I will not give up]
I haven't done anything
If I gave up so soon, wouldn't that ?
”I need to request so from you”
I lower my head to Philip with force
I need to let that beast know theof true terror
”I got it Thoo ahead and do the preparations”
Philip instructs the butler, who then leaves the room
”But on that topic The idea that you thought of was really interesting”
”Is that so?”
”Yes You are the only one a plan”
” Do you think it ork?”
I feel a little uneasy
Can I settle that Ojou-sama with my petty tricks?
Philip shrugs
”That will depend on your efforts”
He's coht
With that, the plan is executed
I enter the room that has been allocated to oods everywhere A huge grand bed, intricately designed furniture, beautifulframes, and modern bookshelves
If I had coke and a PC, I could live here happily for the rest of my neet life
It's a good room
Perhaps I have the Greyrat name, and it's a roo me a servant's room
Speaking of servants I don't knohy there are are so many maids that are from the beast races
In this country, I heard that the deainst Are the beast races an exception?
”Haa Darn you Paul You actually sent me to this crazy hell”
I sit on the bed withme, and I hold my head that has a dull ache
The place that I was hit still stings
I ic, and heal the wounds
”But, compared to my previous life, this is fine”
The process of kicking me out of my home was the same, but this time it's different, and I don't need to roam the streets A complete difference
Paul has arranged my life properly A job and a place Also, isn't there pocket s could've done that in ether
Helpingoverme run
No, that's still insufficient
A 34 year old neet without work experience They had no other choice but to abandon me
Plus even if they suddenly do so like that, I can only vent I probably wouldn't even want to work
Pulling away froht even commit suicide
Only noorks
The job that has been found, and the determination to earn money The current now
Even though it was done by brute force, the tily But what's with that? That crazy violent creature This is the first time in my 40 year life that I have seen that
It can't be used by two kanji characters It is the incarnation of violence
That was like a boiling water hardware
It nearly caused me to have a trauma I nearly, or maybe you can already say I peed my pants
”I feel like whatever I do, she will go crazy”
It even seeo crazy
For that Ojou-saet
I will be quartered
” No wonder she got chased out of school”
The way she attacked people can only be deemed as well practiced
That is a way to beat down people Regardless of whether the opponent can or cannot retaliate, she will just hit them without care
Even though she's only 9 years old, the process of how she makes people feel helpless is too practiced
Can I teach someone like her
Philip and I discussed it over
Let her get kidnapped and experience helplessness
And then, I'll rescue her She will then respect uidance
The plan sounds simple, but I know the basic process
If she doesn't do soress smoothly
But will it really be smooth?
That level of violence is beyond ination
Using all her strength to roar and yell Biting down on her prey, and then tearing it to bits
A violence that triumphs will
If she gets kidnapped, will she not feel a thing?
If I rescue her, will she do an expression as if all this was to be expected and say, ”Why didn't you come earlier, trash”?
It's possible
It's possible if it's that Ojou-sama
Sheunexpected, and II must put down my determination
No matter what, this cannot fail
I keep thinking it through
The steps to make this plan work
But as I think about it,into a marsh
”God Please bless me to succeed”
I can only pray at the end
I don't believe in God in the slightest
But, just likehappens, we seek God's protection
Saying so like, ”please let me succeed”
When I discovered that my divine artifact, (panties) was left in my room, I cry
My God (Roxy) isn't here
