03x03 - Life Back at Home

[bunniefuu]

There's a goddess in front of me.

A goddess lying peacefully,
just like the Buddha.

Because she is such a revered being,
it was natural that I show her respect.

A waist lacking curves.

A physique that makes you wonder
if she's a young girl.

Could that be her third eye
that I saw on her chest?

So cold.

We've both been through a lot,

but I'm happy that
we've managed to get married.

Oh, right. We don't have
much time in the morning.

Better get her up.

Roxy, wake up.
It's already morning.

Good morning.

Good morning...

Why are you looking so dejected?

It's nothing.

I just wanted to take a nice look at
your body in the daylight, Master.

Good grief, we've got to get ready.
I'm sure everyone is already up now.

Yes.

Good morning, Sylphie.

Good morning, Rudy.

Lucy is full of energy again today.

Good morning, Lucy.

Despite my concerns,

Lucy has been growing steadily.

Sylphie's postpartum period has gone well,
both mother and baby are healthy.

Our daughter is as adorable as ever.

No kidding.

Why is she so cute, anyway?

She probably takes after her mom.

Good grief.
Thank you, Rudy.

Good morning, Roxy.

Good morning.

Roxy, how was Rudy last night?

W-Well, we've done a lot of rounds.

He was very gentle.

Sorry, I shouldn't be saying this.

You don't have to apologize.

Is that so?

Yes.

Good morning, Norn.

Good morning, Brother.

I've finished writing Ruijerd's story.

Would you mind checking it?

Of course.

I did write a book in order to restore
the Superd's reputation,

but now, Norn is writing most of it.

Her writing is still clumsy,
but she's working hard on it.

I think she could make it more
interesting than when I did.

I'm looking forward to reading it.

Good morning, Mom.

Mom, it's Brother.

Several months after
coming back to Sharia,

Zenith's memory
hasn't returned to her.

There have been some small changes.

But for now, we need to
keep looking after her.

Breakfast! Breakfast!

It's time for breakfast!

Good morning,
Big Brother and his wives!

Good morning, Aisha.

What's for today's breakfast?

Today's pretty much
the same as always.

Aisha.

Tell properly what you're serving.

We have a sweet potato and Yoko
bean soup, served with white bread.

And highly nutritious horse milk.

Master Rudeus, Madam Sylphiette,
Madam Roxy, good morning.

Good morning, Lilia.

Aisha and Lilia continue to take care
- Aisha,

Aisha and Lilia continue to take care
- bring the food over before they gets cold.

of the household, just as they always have.
- bring the food over before they gets cold.

of the household, just as they always have.
- Okay!

Aisha is often scolded for getting too excited,
- Breakfast!

Aisha is often scolded for getting too excited,
- Aisha, behave yourself!

but they both seem happy.
- Aisha, behave yourself!

but they both seem happy.
- Breakfast!

We were separated for a long time,

but now we can be together
again as a family.

That's enough to make me
happy right now.

Okay, everyone.
Let's eat!

Sylphie and I are going to
school again today.

And it's not just us.

What is it?

No, it's nothing.

Is that so?

Have you already introduced Roxy
to everyone at school?

Yeah.

When I recommended Master Roxy
as a professor at the University,

I gave her a tour and made sure to tell
everyone how wonderful she is.

"My master is such a great person."

So learning just how great she is can
only be a positive thing for everyone.

It's just like you, Rudy.

I'm happy to get introduced
to many people.

But, Rudy, you only introduced me
as your master,

not as your wife.

Rudy?

I'm so sorry, Roxy!

Ah, my sweetheart, you know
how much I love you, right?

T-Thank you.

Hey, Rudy.
What about me?

Of course, I love you too, Sylphie.

I love...

both of you!

W-Wait...
- Way to go, Quagmire!

Rudy?!
- Way to go, Quagmire!

Rudy?!
- As expected of the Boss!

Let's not do this in school, okay?
- As expected of the Boss!

Let's not do this in school, okay?
- I'm jealous, damn it!

I agree.
- I'm jealous, damn it!

Brother, that's embarrassing.

Well then, I'll be heading this way.

Yeah, do your best with your studies.

Yes.

Brother, I'll be going home again today.

Good morning!

You're late!

Good morning.

Good morning, Norn.

Norn is popular, isn't she?

Norn is cute, after all.

Everyone can tell
how hard she's working.

It makes them want to cheer her on.

As her older brother,
I'm happy that my sister is popular.

Though if any of those males lay
a hand on Norn, they'll pay dearly.

I'm not going to let some total stranger
- Let's go shopping in the town next time.

take my little sister.
- Hey, she's going with us!

Right, Dad?
- Then, let's go together.

You can enter.

Excuse me.

E- Excuse me.

I've been waiting for you.

Rudeus resumed school today, correct?

Yes, I just said hello the other day.
I'll be in your care again starting today.

I look forward to having
you back as well.

Roxy, you're going to stand at the front
of the classroom starting today.

Are you nervous?

Yes...

Master.

Roxy, who used to say
she didn't need a master,

sure has changed a lot, huh?

Yes, I'm surprised myself.

The young me was really arrogant.

But now, I've learned a bit about
the joy of teaching people.

I'm looking forward to working
with you, Professor Roxy.

Yes, sir!

Well then, I'll be heading
to the classroom.

Yes, see you later.

Good morning.

What? I'm the first?

Ah, Boss!

Meowrning!

Morning.

Good morning, both of you.

Boss, I saw you earlier.

Flirting with two females
early in the meowrning.

Aren't you a lucky guy?

You're dumping us and then picking up
a second wife, what a nuhni.

We're graduating this year,
let's get a man for ourselves too.

Yeah, we're definitely going
to get one this year.

Find a man,
and then return to our home.

I hope we can find a good one.

Until now, they have always treated
such things as a hassle,

but it seems they've gotten jealous
of me having flowers in both hands.

Master!

If it isn't my master!

Good morning.

Good morning, Grand Master.

Good morning, Zanoba.

You too, Julie.

If you are in the classroom,
then I can assume that...

Yeah, we can research together again.

Well then, that's perfect.

There's something I'd like you
to look at later.

What is it?

The result of the research
of the past six months!

I understand.
I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Good morning.

Morning.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Since you're here, it means that you
won't go anywhere for a while, right?

Yeah.

I see.

Now we can get the research
back on track.

Rudeus!

Good morning, Senior Cliff.

I heard that you returned
together with Lise,

but why didn't you stop by
to say hello to me?

Sorry about that.
I did stop by your place, but...

It seemed you and Elinalise were busy.

I... I see...
I suppose that couldn't be helped.

I guess I'm also at fault.

However, you could at least have
called me when your child was born.

Y-Yeah, I guess you're right.

I'm sure you're busy
raising your child,

but it seems like you have
been avoiding me lately.

There was a reason for that.

Since he's a member of the Millis Church,
he won't like that I got a second wife.

Is there some reason
you didn't want to see me?

Actually, I got...
- Good morning.

Everyone, please return to your seats.

I'm Roxy Migurdia Greyrat.

Starting today,

she will be appointed as a professor
at the Ranoa University of Magic.

I'll be assisting her for a while.

Since she will be this class's
homeroom teacher,

I hope you'll all treat her well.

I'm sure many of you have
already been introduced to me.

I'm also the second wife
of Rudeus Greyrat over there.

Though as teacher and student,
our interactions will be different.

I look forward to being with you all.

So...

Your second wife, huh?

Is the word faithful not part
of your vocabulary, Rudeus?

I know that I'm lacking in that part.

I blessed your marriage to Sylphie because
you told me you'd love her, and just her.

Yes, and I'm very grateful to you.

I knew that you don't share my religion,
so I won't say anything more.

If anything, I give you my blessing.

Congratulations.

Thank you very much.

I've been meeting your little sister
in the town church many times.

She told me that she hoped to have a happy
marriage like you and Sylphie someday.

Did she say anything to you
when you brought your second wife home?

She was very angry.

That's to be expected!

She'd been praying almost every day
for you and your father's safe return.

Your homecoming should have
been a happy occasion for her.

But, after losing her father,
you're the only one she can depend on now.

I think you need to be more
considerate of her feelings.

Yes.

Having too many partners
isn't a good thing.

Yes.

Um, Senior Cliff?

What is it, Rudeus?

You were keeping an eye on Norn,
weren't you?

Thank you so much.

We go to the same church,
and we talked a bit. That's all.

Also, don't let a girl that young
wander around by herself.

Even though this area is safe,

I've heard of kidnappers
lurking in the back alleys.

You're right.
I'll take that advice seriously.

You sure?
I mean, you are...

Come on, isn't that enough?

Master has returned safely.
That's enough to be grateful for.

Very well.
He seems to be reflecting on it.

I'll forgive you for your sin.

Saint Millis taught us
to be lenient, after all.

Thank you very much.

I've heard about it from Lise,

but what opponent could be strong
enough to make you lose a hand?

It was a hydra that was
immune to magic.

Immune to magic...

I can see why you struggled against it.

It's amazing that you
were able to defeat it.

It was thanks to my father and others.

We did win,
but it came at a heavy price.

Master, on that note,
please wait a bit.

Please look at this.

What is that?

The one that I mentioned earlier
in the classroom.

The fruit of our research.

Now, can I have your left hand?

S-Sure.

It's about to fall, though?

The incantation is:
"Earth, be thou my hand."

Yes?

Please try it!

Earth, be thou my hand.

It's moving... It's moving!

Here, try it, Rudeus.

This is amazing! I could even feel
all the way through the fingertips!

What is this?

A magical implement in the shape of a hand
that moves according to its bearer's will!

I managed to make it by analyzing
the automaton doll with Cliff's help.

By using this, I'm able to control
my strength when I make a doll!

That's amazing!

If you want to increase its strength,
simply feed it more of your mana.

Really?

You are holding a grudge
about earlier, aren't you?

I wasn't sure if we could use it
without a hand,

but it seems there are no problems.

Hey, there won't be any problem
if I use magic with this?

It's about time you let go of my hand!

Let's test it, then!
- Don't squeeze my hand any harder!

What is that?

Another duel?

Huh?!

It's ready!

All right, let's try it.

Yes.

Here I go!

It seems there's no problem with
using magic while wearing it.

Yes.

As expected of Master!
Well done!

This is an amazing invention.
To be honest, I'm really in awe.

Thank you very much.

If you don't mind,
I want you to keep it with you.

Huh?

Are you sure?

Yes.

That's still a prototype,
but I'm sure it's better than nothing.

And with you and Cliff, I'm sure I can
make another one in no time.

By the way, do you have a name
for this magical implement?

Oh, it doesn't have a name yet.

Cliff and I don't have much talent
for naming things.

Since we're at it,
why don't you give it a name?

Good idea!
Please give it a name!

Then, taking a bit from
both of your names,

let's call it Zaliff Prosthetic Hand.

Shouldn't your name
be in there as well?

That's okay. I didn't really
contribute to making this.

I think you shouldn't have
to humble yourself.

Very well.

Let us call it Zaliff Prosthetic Hand,
Prototype One.

Welcome home, Big Brother!

Would you like dinner? A bath?
Or maybe...

Me? My-self?

Then, I would like to have you!

Take this!

Big Brother is hitting on me!

Huh?

I'm home.

Is that prosthetic hand
a magical implement?

Yes, this is the result of Zanoba
and Senior Cliff's research.

That's amazing.
It's moving like a real hand.

With this, I will be able to
manage my daily life just fine.

Plus, this way I can enjoy
both of you to the fullest!

Good grief, Rudy...

Hey!
Where are you touching?

Brother, that's embarrassing.

Dinner! Dinner!

It's time for dinner!

Today's pretty much the same as always.

Aisha!

Okay.

Let's eat!

A lot has happened since
the Fittoa Teleportation Incident.

The journey on the Demon Continent.

Parting with Eris.

Healing my sickness.

Marrying Sylphie.

Reunion with Roxy.

Rescuing my mom.

Although we lost some along the way,

we have now returned to
our normal daily life.

I'm going to protect this normal
daily life of ours from now on.

After I regained my peaceful daily life...

Today, too, I prayed earnestly like this.
