Anime Multiverse: Starting from Mushoku Tensei

After staring at it for a while, Roa reached out and erased some of the spirit characters, made changes, and after confirming that there were no errors, Roa continued to inject Divine Power into it and began further experiments.

Developing magic is naturally very difficult, and the effect is very uncertain, but the overall progress is visible to the naked eye.

Time passed slowly, and when Roa injected Divine Power into the last piece of draft paper, there was a moment of stagnation around him.

That's right, it was stagnation.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and Roa's thoughts collided rapidly at this moment.

He didn't use the Word of Power Moment, but this feeling was very obvious.

Roa let out a long breath and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Halfway to success, judging from this posture, it should be a magic circle that slows down the flow of time around it.

Research progress can be said to have declared a big step forward.

When he looked up at the window outside again, it was already a sunset glow outside.

Roa frowned and muttered, "Is it already this time?"

It was already a bit late, and he had forgotten to eat lunch for a while.

But it doesn't matter whether he eats or not. With his physical fitness, even if he doesn't eat or drink for a month, nothing will happen.

If you really want to calculate, he can be regarded as obtaining energy between every breath. The reason for eating and sleeping is entirely to satisfy psychological needs.

This is also proof that he is still a person, and besides, he still has his own appetite.

At this point, he didn't really want to go out, so he simply planned to stay in his room.

But obviously, he seemed to have forgotten something.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Roa looked out of the upstairs window and saw two girls, one tall and one short, standing quietly at his door.

The afterglow of the sunset shone down, illuminating the girls' clothes and painting their faces with a layer of dusky rosy clouds.

These were naturally Roxy and Mitsuri.

Now that the two had arrived at the door, it was impossible for Roa to continue his research.

He got up and walked downstairs. The office was on the second floor, and there were two empty rooms next to it. He chose the room with the most open view.

From the floor-to-ceiling windows above, he could take in most of the academy's scenery, making it an excellent vantage point.

Roa came to the door and opened it, revealing Mitsuri's smiling face and the brim of Roxy's mage hat.

The height difference between the two was inexplicably amusing.

Seeing the two of them, Roa naturally showed a joyful expression and gave them each a hug.

Mitsuri suggested, "Let's go for a walk. The sunset is beautiful today."

Roxy glanced at the distant sky and shrugged, casually saying, "Really? I think it's about the same as usual, nothing special."

Roxy wasn't trying to be difficult; she genuinely felt that way.

Most of the scenery in another world is unimaginable in other worlds. Some landscapes that could be called absolutely beautiful are quite common in this world. Of course, it is this commonness that makes them take it for granted and not pay too much attention.

Roa subconsciously reached out and touched Roxy's head, smiling as he said, "It's good to go out for a walk occasionally."

Roxy looked at Mitsuri's expectant gaze and nodded helplessly, but her tone also revealed a hint of interest: "Alright, let's go for a walk then."

Just outside the door was the lakeside, with clear water reflecting the sunset.

On both sides were budding green willow trees. When spring arrived, these willows would hang their branches vertically until they touched the lake's surface below.

Walking around the banks, bathed in the still somewhat chilly breeze, the trio strolled along the cobblestone path.

"How was your day?"

Naturally, it was Roa who asked this. A walk required a topic, but it didn't need to be too deliberate, just casual conversation.

"It was alright," Roxy replied to Roa.

Mitsuri thought for a moment before saying, "It feels no different from my days in the Demon Slayer Corps, just simply guiding the juniors."

Hearing the words "Demon Slayer Corps," Roxy wasn't surprised. To be precise, she had already been surprised long ago.

Roxy had already learned the entire story of their meeting from Mitsuri. Although there were still some differences in understanding, such as considering Muzan Kibutsuji as a powerful demon, she could understand most of it.

This was only the first day of officially starting work, so naturally, nothing particularly interesting could have happened. Today was even more uneventful than usual.

Not every day would have something special happen, and troubles wouldn't always come one after another.

But as the conversation went on, it inevitably went off-topic.

Roa stood in the middle, holding each of the girls' hands. Not knowing what they were thinking, Roxy took the lead and said to Roa, "Um, Roa, I think we've known each other for so long, have you ever thought about the future?"

Roa repeated in confusion, "The future?"

Roxy's expression was very nervous at the moment, and her hand was full of sweat.

Roxy had to explain stutteringly, "Well, just, things like children."

When she said this, Roxy was obviously very embarrassed, and the blush on her cheeks couldn't be concealed. She subconsciously pulled down the brim of her hat with her left hand, preventing others from seeing her expression.

Hearing Roxy's words, Roa finally understood.

Did this girl want a child?

Roa shifted his gaze to Mitsuri on the right. The pink-haired girl was listening quietly, but from her reaction, Roa could understand a little.

But her saying this suddenly put pressure on Roa.

Roa and the two of them had done quite a bit, but even after doing it so many times, they still hadn't had any offspring.

It wasn't that he didn't want his own children; it was just relatively difficult to conceive.

But the two of them bringing it up now must also have their concerns.

However, Roa didn't know where to start.

Honestly, if he were to become a father, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried. Having lived two lives as a child, he felt a little overwhelmed at the thought of being a father.

Seeing that Roa hadn't spoken for a long time, Roxy couldn't help but ask, "Roa, don't you want a child?"

Roa coughed twice. He couldn't give them a suitable answer, so he could only give a slightly vague explanation: "It's not a question of whether I want one or not. I don't need to say how hard I've been working during this time, but you've all seen the results."

Talking about this made Roxy's face look a little lonely. Not knowing what she was thinking, she bit her lip and suddenly asked, "Roa, am I not attractive enough?"

For a moment, Roa didn't react. He stopped walking and didn't continue forward.

A clear breeze blew across the lakeside on both sides, and the lake surface rippled. The fiery clouds in the sky gathered together, forming strange shapes one after another.

Mitsuri didn't speak; she needed to remain silent at this moment.

It was so before, and it should be even more so now.

"Why do you say that?"

Stopping, Roa turned to look at the lakeside, looking at the dusky yellow world.

Roxy looked down at her toes and replied in a slightly sad voice, "I've been wondering, what is it about a girl like me that could attract you, Roa?"

"I'm not tall, I'm short, my figure isn't good, my breasts aren't as big as Mitsuri's, my stamina isn't good either, and I'm a bit childish and not mature at all. I can't compare to Mitsuri at all, but a girl like me is loved by someone like you."

"If I can't even bear children for you, how can I deserve your love?"

As she spoke, tears unknowingly flowed from the girl's eyes, dripping onto the muddy ground.

She was still looking down, not crying out loud, but feeling pain in her heart. Looking at the girl like this, Roa sighed.

The girl's sorrow always came so suddenly and so intensely. The girl in front of him was still the same as the girl from before, not changing at all.

This was a timid, insecure girl with no sense of security.

Even after so many years, she was still her.

Roa thought he had done well enough. Among all his women, he was the first to meet Roxy, and from the moment they met, he had fallen in love with the girl in front of him.

"Forget it, I'll be honest now," Roa scratched his head and said in a somewhat helpless voice, "I like you, you know?"

Roxy didn't look up, still looking down. Obviously, the dry words "I like you" couldn't make the girl smile through her tears.

Of course, Roa's vocabulary wasn't limited to just those two dry words.

"Look, we've known each other for so long, from the first time we met when we were little, to now, it's been seven or eight years, right?"

"We live in the same room, sleep in the same bed, and Roxy, no, I should call you Master at that time, you've always been my Master. We've been under the same roof for several months, talking and chatting…"

Roa gestured with his hand, thought for a moment, and then slowly said, "Isn't there a saying called 'love grows over time'? It's a feeling of goodwill. Spending these months together day and night, I naturally developed a feeling of goodwill towards you… Do you know what goodwill is?"

Roxy didn't speak, but the head that was lowered was raised slightly.

"It's normal to have goodwill, isn't it? And then it accumulates over time, this goodwill keeps deepening, and finally turns into another kind of feeling, um, it's love, understand? I like you, that is to say, from the days after I met you, I fell in love with you."

"This love isn't because you're so perfect, your figure is so beautiful, or you're so mature and have a feminine charm. It's just because you were the one standing in front of me at that time, not any other woman, it's you, Master Roxy."

"I don't like anything else, it's just because you're my Roxy. I won't hate you because of anything else. In the years to come, I will always love you, just like I used to, just like I do now."

"So, I won't dislike you. The worries in Master Roxy's heart are unnecessary in my opinion. I just like you, it's those shortcomings and advantages mixed together that make you, Roxy."

The sunset finally fell, and only the last ray of dusky light remained in the sky.

The light had become a little dim, and Roxy's profile was buried in this faint shadow. Roa couldn't see Roxy's expression, so naturally, he couldn't guess the girl's emotions at the moment.

Roa had never seen Roxy cry, never seen the girl's tears. Flowing tears and a still doll couldn't be related, but overall, he hoped that Roxy could always smile.

Roa reached out to caress the girl's cheek. The girl didn't dodge. That face that he had touched countless times felt a little strange to Roa at this moment.

Wiping away the girl's tears with his fingers, Roa also pinched the girl's cheek.

The girl was still looking down, just feeling Roa's affectionate gesture, the gentle touch on her cheek. Her mood didn't seem so bad at the moment.

The lights on the roadside began to light up, the candlelight twinkling, barely illuminating the surrounding roads, and also allowing Roa to see the outline of the girl's face.

Roa thought for a moment and wanted to say some more comforting words.

But the next moment, Roxy reached out and wrapped her arms around Roa's waist, her slender arms showing a strong force at this moment.

Roa was slightly stunned. The girl had already grabbed the corner of his clothes, looked up at Roa, and stared at Roa with that delicate face.

But at this moment, the girl, that doll-like face, had returned to normal.

She looked at Roa, and Roa also looked back at Roxy. Their eyes met, and she slowly opened her mouth and said, "Don't leave me."

"Yeah, I won't leave you."

"Then, it's settled."

Roxy raised her eyes and smiled.

The smile was cunning, charming, and even more with a sense of relief.

And it was this smile that made Roa stunned in place.

Oh no, it's the feeling of being moved.

But at the same time, Roa's heart relaxed slightly, and this was finally a troublesome matter resolved.

Mitsuri looked at the two of them and sighed, her eyes a little complicated.

Their relationship was closer than she had imagined.

At this moment, Mitsuri also felt a sense of urgency in her heart.
