Mushoku Tensei: This reencarnación is strange!!

Chapter 58: Delay



The air around me was strangely cold.

I didn't know why; it was a strange feeling I'd never felt before, as if something large was staring down at me, judging and analyzing me.

It didn't feel good at all.

'Could it be Morgan?' I muttered to myself as I looked up at the sky.

Yes, I already knew the guy used my life as his personal source of entertainment, but I'd never felt him looking at me like this.

It was an overwhelming feeling that grew more and more uncomfortable.

'Rudy? Is something wrong?' Kishirika asked in a worried tone when she noticed my gaze.

'...No, or well, yes, I've had a bad feeling recently,' I muttered, feeling the worry building in my body to the point where my thoughts turned to my women...

'Roxy... she's alone, and she'll probably have to protect Laws if something happens... shit!'

"Father-in-law, Kishirika, come on, I'll increase my speed," I said in a serious tone, and in a split second I increased my speed to 700 km/h.

"Waah, what?!" Philip barely had time to scream before I increased my flight speed.

Right now, we were half a day away from Hilda and Eris's group, but the bad feeling in me was still completely present, so I would fly as fast as possible.

...

"Hmm?... What's that noise?" Sylphie muttered as she suddenly looked up at the sky.

If she lived on Earth in the 21st century, she would have recognized it as the sound of a plane crossing the sky, but that wasn't the case for her.

"Is it in the sky?" Hope asked next as she looked around.

Hilda and Eris also noticed this but didn't say anything. Eris unconsciously gripped the hilt of her newly purchased sword tightly.

The minutes passed, but the sound only grew louder and louder. and louder as he descended from the sky.

All the women in the group were on guard, but Ruigerd simply smiled.

"Don't be afraid, it's Rudeus, and he's coming with more people," he said as he drove the carriage without looking back.

Immediately, the three women turned to look at him, shock visible on their faces. Rudeus descended from the sky with a terrified Philip hugging his back like a koala and Kishirika in my arms with a mocking smile.

Immediately, the other women frowned at this with competitive looks on their faces, but upon seeing Rudeus, they all cheered.

"Rudy!!" Sylphie and Eris shouted in unison as they ran toward Rudeus.

Philip fell face down on his back, almost vomiting, and Kishirika got out of Rudeus's arms so the others could hug him. After all, she had been monopolizing Rudeus for a while. time.

...

"Uugh!" The air rushed out of my body as two red and green cannonballs shot towards me.

"Rudy!!" They continued shouting in unison while clinging to me,

with Eris hugging my waist and Sylphie my neck.

"Uuuh...I-I missed you so much!!" Sylphie said as tears streamed from her eyes and without warning, she pulled my face towards hers in a deep kiss.

"Mmmh!..." Sylphie moaned weakly in my arms under Eris's jealous gaze.

"H-Hey!! D-Don't hog him!!" she yelled with a pout.

Sylphie just smiled as if Eris was the crazy one as she continued kissing me until Eris literally pulled her away from me and kissed me in the same way, much to the elf girl's amusement.

"Rudeus!" Hilda exclaimed as she ran towards me in the same way, but I glanced at Philip out of the corner of my eye. And Hilda stopped halfway.

'Oh yeah... that's right... I'm still married to him,' Hilda muttered in her mind as she slowly advanced to help her husband stand up.

'Eris, you too, go say hello to your father,' I chided her. She pouted. Just as she was about to swear, I looked her straight in the eyes and with a huff, she pulled away from me.

'You too, Sylphie... when you meet your father, I want you to at least pretend you love him,' I whispered in her ear, causing her to smile wickedly.

'Rudeus... it's good to see you,' Ruigerd said suddenly as he approached me.

I smiled the same way. After all, all the men in my life are either my pets to rise in position or want to kill me.

That only leaves Ruigerd as the only male friend I have in this world.

'It's good to see you, Ruigerd,' I said as I patted him on the back. the height difference. "Did something happen while I was gone?" I asked.

"Not at all. Your family and fiancées were safe," he said, and I nodded in satisfaction, immediately turning serious.

I caught a glimpse of Hope, who was looking at me, slightly blushing.

I winked at her, and she blushed even more as she smiled.

"Okay, message sent," I muttered to myself, then focused my gaze on the group.

"Everyone already knows my family is in danger, right? That bastard who worked with Dad is responsible His name is Jesse and he was my parents' partner in their adventuring days, I guess there's no need to say why he should be eliminated, right?'' I said and everyone nodded.

"Besides... that's why I came back as quickly as I could," I said, and my fiancées and mothers-in-law immediately blushed deeply.

Philip, due to his nausea, didn't seem to notice what had happened, and Ruigerd simply turned a blind eye.

"Right now, our priority is to reunite with my mother and sisters so we can face whatever is coming," I said.

Sylphie looked visibly worried at this as she looked at me.

"R-Rudy... is it because you destroyed the mercenary company? Is that why they're after you?" she asked worriedly.

"..." I remained silent for a few seconds while I thought about what to say.

"After all, they're out of Hitogami's sight, right?" I muttered to myself and immediately made a decision.

"No, it's something much more dangerous," I said, gesturing for everyone to come closer.

I had planned to tell everything about Hitogami.

So I began to recount, step by step, the things that had happened up until that point, even lying in some parts, but the theme was the same.

Hitogami, a false god who threatened me in my dreams after he discovered that my offspring would destroy him, immediately targeted me, declaring war on me, and his first attack against me was the mana disaster.

Obviously, this news fell like a bucket of cold water on everyone, even the usually annoying Kishrika.

After all, she was indirectly killed by him once.

"Now what Badigadi said in Beggaritt makes sense..." she muttered, clenching her small fists.

On the other hand, the other women were literally speechless, and Hilda had started to cry. Philip, on the other hand, simply stared at me, stunned.

"R-Rudeus... (sniff!!) I-I had no idea... that you'd been through all that... if only we'd known!" She sobbed, but I stopped her immediately.

"It's okay, mother-in-law. There was no way you guys would have believed me before, and apparently Hitogami had his eye on me since the day I was born..." I muttered with a grimace of a smile, but that only made her cry even more.

"Shit..."

"B-but Rudy! You can't take something like this lightly! Then your mother and sister..." Sylphie muttered, imagining the worst.

"Yes, that's why I said we have to go to my mother and sister as quickly as possible and then go after Roxy and your father," I said, and she nodded, but the worry didn't leave her face.

"And how will we do that? I noticed you came flying like that?" Ruigerd asked.

"It's simple, I just used gravity magic and wind magic to propel myself through the air, that's how I was able to reach you so quickly," I said, and immediately Philip turned pale.

But before he could protest, Hilda and Eris looked at him out of the corner of their eyes, and he shrank back.

"So with that magic we'll get there faster?!" Eris was almost jumping for joy at the idea.

"Hehe, yeah," I said, and the red-haired girl jumped with excitement.

"I didn't know gravity magic could be used that way..." Sylphie muttered as she used her own gravity magic to uproot a tree and levitate it in the air with a thoughtful expression.

"Even you could do it, Sylphie, it's just a matter of training," I told her, and she nodded happily.

So, unceremoniously, we all gathered in a circular group, holding hands. hands.

I shuddered slightly at the thought of how ridiculous we would look, but I pushed that thought aside.

"Haa!!" But to be safe underfoot, I conjured an extra-hard stone platform and made it levitate with everyone on it.

Immediately, Philip threw himself to the ground while Hilda looked at him with disdain.

Surprisingly, Sylphie also agreed, but she just curled up next to me.

Eris, on the other hand, looked around excitedly while Ruigerd held her so she wouldn't fall.

"Okay, everyone hold on tight to each other," I said, and so the stone platform began to move at great speed.

This time, with a smooth surface, I was able to increase my speed further, reaching around 1,000 km/h, almost breaking the sound barrier, guided only by the ring map.

My reunion with my family was approaching, and I planned to celebrate with a new... brother, if that's what it is...

...

far from There in the south of the Asura Kingdom, in an inn for B-rank adventurers, at a table sat a total of four women, one man, and three children.

They all ate peacefully despite the news they had all received.

"Zenith, look... Rudeus and his group are moving at a terrifying speed towards us!" Lilia said in surprise, a smile forming on the blonde milf's face.

"Of course, it's Rudy we're talking about," she said, glancing at Elinalise, who just crossed her arms and looked away in embarrassment.

"Y-you're still at it! I told you I'll judge with my own eyes!" she pouted.

Zenith only laughed at this as she looked at the ring map.

But the smile on her face immediately disappeared when she looked across at the inn door in front of her.

Ghislaine, who was at the corner of the table feeding Ana, also looked at him, her gaze turning serious as she discreetly passed Ana to Lilia and lightly gripped the handle of her sword.

At the inn door stood a man with a monkey-like face and a black hood that almost covered his face.

His face was serious as he scanned the inn, but when his gaze met Zenith's group, his eyes widened and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Just like he said..." he muttered in his mind.

"Hey!" he shouted in his best excited tone as he quickly approached the group of people.

Talhand and Elinalise were the first to turn around, their eyes widening in genuine surprise.

"Friends!! I can't believe it!! I can't believe it! To think I'd find all of you here!!," Gesse shouted excitedly.

Zenith merely forced a smile as she hugged Norn tightly, who was on her lap.

Lilia looked at the map of the ring, and Rudeus and his group were already in northern Asura, but had suddenly stopped at the lower jaw of the Red Wrym.

She gritted her teeth and discreetly wrote:

[Lilia: Rudeus, we've encountered Gesse. Please hurry.]

Likewise, Gesse stood behind Talhand and Elinalise, hugging them both by the neck.

A gesture he had made countless times before, but this time it felt different. The monkey-faced man's gaze scanned the entire group, and a bigger smile spread across his face.

"Talhand, Elinalise, Zenith, and Ghislaine! Almost the entire group is here! What are you all doing here? Where's Paul?!" He asked excitedly. Zenith was the only one smiling, and Gesee was already getting suspicious.

"What the hell is going on? Why are you welcoming me like this? Did that damn kid say something to you already?"

Even so, at the mention of Paul, the group fell into an awkward silence, and the smile on Zenith's face disappeared.

"...I haven't seen Paul in four years since he abandoned me, and now I just found out he died," she muttered.

Immediately, the smile on Gesee's face disappeared as well, as she looked at Zenith.

"I-I see... I guess I came at a bad time, didn't I?" he murmured as he instinctively touched a ring on his right hand, which Zenith could barely see but immediately recognized.

"Shapeshifting magic!" she screamed in her mind, and her grip on Norn tightened, but she maintained her composure as best she could.

"Oh? And that little one? Is she your daughter? And where's your other child? I remember you left the group when you were pregnant..." Gesse murmured, expectantly for the answer.

Zenith raised an eyebrow at this but then smiled warmly.

"My Rudy is on his way, in fact. He won't arrive until tonight," she said as she looked at Gesse's face.

Lilia, on the other hand, was looking at the ring chat with growing anxiety.

Also, people without a special ring wouldn't be able to see it, so Lilia could watch without being discovered, but still...

[Lilia: Young Master?]

[Lilia: Young Master, please respond. We've made contact with Gesee.]

[Laws: What's happening?]

[Lilia: Rudeus isn't responding. I've been trying to contact him, but he still hasn't. He would never do that unless something had happened to him...]

Immediately, when this thought came to Lilia's mind, she tried to erase it.

'No! My husband can't be in danger so easily!'

Even so, the anxiety continued to grow in her heart with each passing minute.

Beside her, Ghislaine slowly drew her sword as she watched Gesee speak with Zenith.

"Gesee, you bastard! What are you doing here, huh? I thought you were dead!" Talhand said to lighten the mood, and the monkey-faced man smiled happily.

"Nice to see you too, shorty! And you too, Lise!"

"Pff! I'd like to say the same," she snorted, crossing her arms, but that made Gesee smile even wider.

For a few moments, the atmosphere at the table seemed to relax, but nothing was further from reality than that thought.

"So Zenith..." Gesee's tone of voice became threatening as the grip on his hug around Talhand and Elinalise tightened.

"So your son is on the way, huh? Let's surprise him!" Gesee said, and immediately the ring on his finger emitted a golden light.

Ghislaine clicked her tongue as she quickly drew her sword.

*Ziiing!!*

The deafening sound of the longsword of light filled the tavern, and Gesee's head fell to the ground.

Everyone in the group tensed, but no one asked why, and they even breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha! Just as I suspected!!" Gesse's voice echoed from outside the tavern, and immediately a god-rank barrier enveloped the tavern, and Ghislaine's stomach began to bleed profusely.

"Bleeegh!!" She spat out a mouthful of blood as she fell to the ground before the horrified gaze of her companions.

"Now then! Let's continue with our reunion of ex-companions!" Gesse said with a sadistic smile from outside the barrier.

[Coment and give me power stones!!]
