I'm fleeing away with all my strength from the beast's claws. I escape with all my concentration, carrying with me a heart full of fear. Over the stairs. Jumping through the courtyard. Sometimes using magic to cling to the roof. Sometimes falling down. [Where are you?!] That fellow releases a roar and chases after me. No matter where I run. I'm quite confident in my physical strength. 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 to mock my efforts, chases me without being out of breath, with blood red hair flying in the winds. That fellow does not know the meaning of "giving up". No matter how far I run, the instant I relax, will be the moment that fellow closes the gap bit by bit. [Haaa....... Haaa......] I'm starting 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 makes my legs 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 my parents' funeral and got chased out by my family, I got killed by a truck. But because of fate's bad joke, I have retained my memories and reincarnated as a baby. 6 Mushoku Tensei Volume 2 I have reflected on my past life acting as a horrible human being, and in these 7 years, I have worked hard to live earnestly. Learning how to speak and write, learning magic, training in the sword, establishing good relationships with my parents, and even meeting a cute childhood friend named Sylphy. To be able to go to school with Sylphy, I have complied to the job's request, letting me earn for two people's share for the school fees, and come to the city of Roa. If I complete the job for the young lady's education, the employer will pay for the school fees --------- Even though it's supposed to be something like that. [Come out wherever you are! I'll crush you into bits!] I look out from the observation area, and shiver from the beast's noises. Trembling from the violent incarnate that is in the shape of a young girl. ------ Why has it turned out that way? I'll have to trace it back to 1 hour ago. 7 Mushoku Tensei Volume 2 Chapter 1 - Young Lady's Violence Part 1 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 meters high, 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 are mingling with the merchants, there are people wearing armor walking by, and the entire place looks like a fantasy out of a storybook. There are some people carrying huge luggage sitting right at an area as if they are waiting for something. What could it be? [Ghyslaine, do you know what 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 them, is a huge guy with muscles ----- No, it's a female swordswoman. Ghyslaine Dedorudia. Third in the Sword-God style rankings, a formidable swordswoman having the title of a Sword-King, has agreed to teach me swordsmanship where we are going to. 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 at me fiercely, scaring me. 8 Mushoku Tensei Volume 2 [Ah no. I'm just. I don't know what 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 some trading 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 atmosphere changes. After the numerous stores catering to the adventurers, as we progress forward in the horse carriage, we see many residential shops. There must be people dwelling deep in the alley. It looks like a planned placement. If there are enemies around, the people surrounding 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 more you go in, the grander 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 seems that the Ojou-sama's noble status is quite high since we're coming here.] [Not exactly.] Ghyslaine shakes her head. 9 Mushoku Tensei Volume 2 But since the Lord's mansion is already in front of my eyes, based on the earlier deduction, the people staying around here are obviously high class. ........ Or maybe not. Staying in this area situated near the borders, the rank might not be anywhere high. [Eh?] As I think of that, the driver greets the person at the mansion's gate. And enters it. [Is that the Lord's daughter?] [No.] [Is it not?] [Almost.] Is there some deep meaning to it? I just don't get it..... The horse carriage stops. Part 2 When we enter the mansion, we are brought into a room that looks like it is meant to entertain guests. 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 resembles red tea into a very high class teacup, and waits at the entrance. I drink the steaming liquid. It isn't bad. Even though I don't know how to sample the quality of red tea, this must be quite expensive. 10 Mushoku Tensei Volume 2 From the start, there was no beverage prepared for Ghyslaine. It seems like I'm the only one treated as a guest. [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 man roughly 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 seems to be in a pretty good shape. I place the cup down and stand up, bending my waist to 90 degrees. [I'm pleased to meet you, my name is Rudeus Greyrat.] The man snorts in dissatisfaction. [Hmph, you don't even know how to make a greeting!] [Old master, Rudeus-dono has never left Buina village.
