Rudeus’s perspective.
I’m graduating.
This also means that I will be separated from Roxy.
And the next time we meet will be a very, very long time from now.
Ah…
My Roxy, I really don’t want to be separated from you.
But I have to separate.
God said that the union of Roxy and I could produce a crystallization that would defeat him; in other words, Roxy is his primary target.
For Roxy’s safety.
I must maintain a certain distance from Roxy.
…
When Roxy left, Zenith and Paul both tried to make her stay.
“Roxy, it’s fine if you continue to stay with us, you know?
There are still many dishes I haven’t taught you…” They were people who didn’t care about a little money; if Roxy was willing, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to stay and become part of the family.
Especially after seeing my dependence on Roxy.
However, it was clear that Roxy was not that kind of person.
Roxy bowed deeply and said: “No, thank you for saying that, but this incident made me feel my own powerlessness.
I will travel the world for a while to hone my magical skills.” I knew very well that she was disheartened because I had caught up to her level.
But such things, they’re completely meaningless.
As for setbacks, I’ve had more than enough.
For example, in the Sword Sanctum where Eris once stayed, I heard there was a kid named Kino who grew to a level capable of instantly killing the Sword God overnight.
Hey, hey, hey, isn’t that too much of a cheat?
What level is the Sword God?
An opponent that even I, in my prime, would have to put some effort into.
That guy actually grew to that extent overnight, so talent is simply incomparable.
Comparing yourself to others really makes you angry.
Before leaving, Roxy walked up to me and smiled as she stroked my head.
“Rudy, although I’ve tried my best, my power isn’t enough to teach you more.” “What my teacher taught me is enough to benefit me greatly throughout my life.” I said from the bottom of my heart.
“I’m glad you say that, but it’s a bit exaggerated…
Oh, right.” As if suddenly remembering something, Roxy pulled out a pendant with a leather cord from her cloak.
It was shaped like three spears combined, made of metal with a green luster.
I didn’t think much of it before, but looking at it now, this shape is unexpectedly similar to the spears of the Superd.
“Congratulations on your graduation.
I didn’t have time to prepare, so please bear with this.” “It’s a Migurd Tribe amulet.
If you encounter a difficult demon, show this and mention my name, and you might get some leniency… perhaps.” Roxy said, twirling her hair, a little embarrassed.
Oh my, what are you saying, Roxy Sensei?
This is a super crucial item, you know?
By the way, I’ll take this to meet my in-laws as our token of love.
After a proper farewell, Roxy Sensei left.
Watching Roxy Sensei’s retreating figure, I suppressed my tears and clutched the soft fabric in my pocket.
Ah.
In this cold society, only these soft panties still hold a bit of warmth.
I’m sorry, Roxy Sensei.
I will properly safeguard this holy relic.
Speaking of which.
The holy relic has been in my hands longer than it was on Roxy.
If the holy relic were used as a summoning medium for a Holy Grail War, would it summon me or Roxy?
Probably both are possible.
… Roxy Sensei embarked on her journey.
Although for now, I am just a small passerby in her life, I am confident that I have left a deep impression in Roxy’s heart.
On the day we reunite in the future, I will make her truly happy.
But that’s a story for later.
One day.
I proposed to Paul and Zenith that I wanted to go out.
“Outside?
To play?
Not in the yard?” “Yes.” “Oh, oh, oh, of course you can.” Paul agreed, somewhat moved, “Come to think of it, I haven’t given you much free time.
I arbitrarily decided to have you study both magic and swordsmanship, but playing is also necessary for children.” Oh, you finally realized that?
To be honest, for a long time, I thought children in this world had to bear such heavy academic pressure.
But later I found out that it was only because I showed extraordinary talent from a young age that I was arbitrarily assigned such a heavy curriculum.
That being said, I have never regretted meeting Roxy.
And so, under the relieved gazes of Paul and Zenith, I left the yard.
“If you want to become someone worthy of the Greyrat Family, bring back a girlfriend!” Paul shouted.
Hey, hey, hey, is it really okay for you to shout that?
Zenith’s face doesn’t look good!
But I couldn’t refute it, because I was truly going to find a girlfriend.
Ah, sorry, not a girlfriend.
It’s my beloved wife.
Sylphiette Greyrat.
Uh, still not right.
Currently, Sylphy is just Sylphy; there’s no Greyrat surname after her name.
But I’ll work hard to add it.
… A few days later.
I had already become quite familiar with the people outside.
I am the child of Paul and Zenith, and also the disciple of Roxy, and all three of them have high prestige in the village.
Thanks to them, I successfully built good relationships.
Then, according to the time and place in my memory, I went to that small hill.
“Demons, don’t stay in the village!” An unpleasant voice came.
Anger immediately rose in my heart, but I quickly suppressed it.
“Get lost!” “Take this!” “Hit!” I turned over the hill and saw a young girl being pelted with mud by three children in a Mud Mire.
Green hair, small body.
She tightly hugged the basket in front of her chest, shrinking her body to protect it so the mud wouldn’t hit the basket.
Sylphiette.
My most indebted wife.
The moment I saw her again, my eyes welled up.
When was the last time I saw Sylphy?
It was… Ah, sorry, I don’t really want to recall it.
After all, it’s not a scene worth remembering.
Let’s skip it.
I suppressed the anger in my heart and, instead of using my signature Rock Cannonball, I created mud balls and hit them from a long distance.
“Whoa!” “It hurts, it got in my eyes!” “What are you doing?!” “Are you a demon’s accomplice?” These people angrily turned their attention to me.
Hey, hey, hey, don’t be ungrateful.
If it were a Rock Cannonball, you would have already evaporated, you know?
Bullying Sylphy and only getting your eyes covered in mud, even Jesus would want to take me to heaven after hearing that.
Thank my great compassion.
