Mushoku Tensei: This reencarnación is strange!!

[Laws Pov]

"Dad! Mom! When I grow up I want to marry Rudy!"

The first time I heard this I couldn't help but smile, after all my little daughter was barely four years old and until recently she wanted to marry me.

'haaa... The beauty of being so innocent'

But everything changed two years later when Sylphie, aged six, mentioned it to us again, now with her cheeks flushed.

And then I started to get a little worried.

'Could my little girl be in love with Rudeus? Isn't it a little early for that?'

Still, the idea of her marrying Rudeus didn't displease me. Rudeus was a good boy, diligent, kind, loving, and respectful, the complete opposite of his stupid father.

But the age issue worried me.

And my concern only increased when a month ago Sylphie told me again and this time she seemed determined.

'It's too soon! You're only eight!'

"Darling? Don't you think it's a little early? I know you have a lot of affection for Rudeus but... You shouldn't be thinking about those things now..." I murmured weakly.

Hope on the other hand seemed more than happy with this news, in fact she seemed to encourage Sylphie to marry Rudeus, at least they should wait until they are both fifteen, right?!

"I-I know b-but it's the truth!" She said as she raised her small fists with a look of determination

I could only sigh again.

'Rudeus...'

Now that I think about it, that kid has had it tough, right now he had gone to work in Roa to support his family and sister because his bastard father left the village without warning and after having been unfaithful to his wife.

From that day on I started to hate Paul and my friendship with him ended.

It was also a tremendous blow to the village's security, as the new knight died just three months after arriving, and the one who replaced him doesn't seem any stronger...

Paul not only left his family but also an entire village, without a doubt that man is one of the worst bastards.

These thoughts only made me sigh even more, what was I supposed to do as a father?

I know that if they were to get married today, Rudeus would take responsibility for her in every way, he has already proven it.

But still the thought of my little girl being taken away from me so soon is still unacceptable!...but if it's Rudeus... It doesn't seem so bad...

I definitely wouldn't give my daughter's hand to anyone else...and if he came today to declare his love for my daughter...I don't know what I would do...

Also, today is Rudeus's week off, so yesterday Sylphie did all her homework ahead of time just to be with the Greyrats all day...

I'll definitely become a grandfather before I know it...

But things would get even more complicated that same afternoon...

...

"Mr. Laws! Mrs. Hope!" Rudeus bowed deeply as he held Sylphie's hand.

Both were slightly dirty and had grass on their clothes, which indicates that they were practicing magic on their typical hill.

"What's wrong, Rudeus?" I asked almost in a whisper as sweat ran down my forehead. I was already expecting the worst, and judging by my wife's expression, all I could do was pray to Millis.

"Please! Let me marry Sylphie in the future!" He declared and I lost all hope.

"e-eh?!, g-g-get m-married?!! Rudy!!!" My little Sylphie squealed in embarrassment but I could hear the joy in her voice.

"..." I just stayed silent, not knowing what to say.

Should I say no? But he said in the future, right? And if I refuse, will my daughter hate me?...

"kyaaa!, did you hear that dear!, just like you did with my mother!!!" My wife said while hugging me tightly as I tensed up.

Rudeus, noticing my expression, let go of Sylphie's hand and bowed to me.

"Please, Mr. Laws! I promise I'll take care of Sylphie with my life! I'm working right now to support my family, but also to give Sylphie a better future! So please...please let me call you father-in-law!" He said and even I was moved.

There's no doubt that if I had been born a woman I would have fallen in love with him on the spot and from the way Sylphie was looking at Rudeus right now it seems that she fell twice as much in love with the boy....

Hope was practically jumping for joy before hugging Sylphie and Rudeus talking about future plans...

'Ah shit, what does it matter, this was going to happen anyway'

"Yes, son-in-law, please take good care of Sylphie," I said as I bowed to him.

"Dad..." Sylphie murmured as tears streamed from her eyes and she smiled at me with her beautiful face.

'huh, I guess it was worth it...'

...

[Rudeus Pov]

*Ding!*

[Earn Laws and Hope's blessing and become Sylphie's fiancé!!]

[Reward: King Rank spells of all the major schools of magic]

Completed in: 4 hours and 34 minutes

[adjusting knowledge on carrier, please wait a few moments...]

I nodded satisfied at the robotic voice of the system.

"S-see you tomorrow Rudy..." Sylphie said as she held my hands with an expression of absolute embarrassment, but there was still a smile on her face.

"Yes, see you tomorrow Sylphie, and I mean what I said" I told her and her smile got even bigger

So I said goodbye to her and started my way back home.

"Electric... Tornado... Ice Tsunami... Lava Storm..."

Those were the names of the new spells he had acquired knowledge of.

Obviously I couldn't use any on the perimeter of the village unless I wanted to destroy it which wouldn't happen.

Plus my family would inundate me with questions about how I got these spells.

But that doesn't mean I'm not going to show them to Sylphie, she, despite her age, is very responsible when it comes to keeping secrets, especially if they are mine.

But still the way to get these spells...

Morgan must be bored, huh? Fucking Ghislaine wasn't enough for you?!

While muttering silently the lights of my house became visible as night fell.

I planned to spend some time with my daughters and if the timing was right I would have some quality time with my wives...

But the closer I got to my house the more I felt a strange sensation.

I've never felt anything like this in all my years of life, the only thing that could compare was when I trained with Ghislaine but even then...

*Ding!*

[Defeat the Knuclegard brothers!]

[reward: Knowledge of the North God Style up to Saint rank!]

"!!!"

Before I could react to the system's voice a sword lunged towards me.

Fortunately, I wasn't as fast as Ghislaine, but I still had to make a considerable effort to avoid him.

"nngh!" I used a Sonic boom to get away from my attacker, I fell like a cat as I quickly got up.

'Shit...I didn't bring my sword with me!'

I quickly activated my mana eye and could see two mana signatures from among the bushes, as it was already dark only this could make me see them.

"Hmm! So you were able to dodge me! No wonder Darius sent us to kill you!"

"Knucle!! We weren't supposed to reveal that we work for Darius!"

"Oh yeah! Forget that!"

"Yeah, forget what he said!"

The voices of two men echoed in the darkness as I could only see their traces of mana but the way they acted...

If I remember correctly, they were the Northern King Knuclegard, an enemy who emerged when Ariel took the throne of Asura.

'But from Ars to here it's more than three months of travel! And what are they doing here?'

Questions quickly flooded my mind as my body tensed, I had never been in a situation like this in my life!

"Okay, we shouldn't waste much time! Please die!" They both said at the same time and rushed towards me at a terrifying speed, but again, they were nothing compared to Ghislaine.

"nngh!" I quickly created a Quagmire in which they fell unaware.

"Ugh! Magic without enchantment!"

"Darius mentioned it Gard! How did you forget?!"

"I didn't forget it!! It just caught me off guard! And don't mention Darius!"

Ignoring the comical duo of brothers, I quickly gathered mana in my hands as I formed stone bullets and launched them at them.

"tch, piece of cake!" They both said as they began to deflect the attacks as if it were nothing.

But I was already prepared for that so I quickly froze the ground beneath them with Frost Nova which caught them off guard again.

"Haaa!!" Taking advantage of this, I used wind blade in my right hand and in my left hand I conjured a huge ball of fire.

The fireball came out first and was about two meters long.

"Tsk! You go to the right!" One of them shouted as they both jumped to separate places but I was already expecting this.

A Quagmire was waiting for one of them as soon as he hit the ground and the wind blade cut him right in half making his torso fall to the ground with a thud.

"Gard!!!! You Bastard!!!" The remaining brother yelled as he lunged at me.

I simply lifted myself into the air using a Sonic boom while creating two stone bullets about two meters in diameter.

'just like Rudeus did...make the hollow part by mixing fire magic and pieces of stone'

"Haaa!!" The two stone bullets shot out faster than the speed of sound and I could see the desperation in the guy's eyes.

He barely dodged the first one but the shrapnel inside exploded immediately damaging his face, body and arms.

"Yeagh!" His scream of pain echoed through the forest before being silenced by the second stone bullet that destroyed his head.

"Haaa..." I let out a sigh as I slowly fell with the help of wind magic while looking at the two corpses around me.

Besides...

'For King-rank swordsmen, they fell pretty fast... Or am I just too strong?'

The thought alone brought a smile to my lips but I quickly controlled myself, there are still people out there stronger than me...for now.

"Rudy!!" The voices of two women brought me out of my thoughts as Lilia and Zenith hurried out of the house.

"Darling! W-what?...what happened here?!" My mother said in a surprised tone as she looked at the bodies.

"My love, are you hurt?!" Lilia asked as she hugged me tightly.

"No... These were bandits, nothing to worry about, please return home while I take care of the bodies" I said seriously.

They both nodded without protest and went back into the house, but not before giving me kisses on the mouth and strong hugs.

But apart from lust my mind was totally confused.

'Why Darius? He's supposed to be an apostle of Hitogami, right? So why? How does he know about me?...'

None of this made sense.

Or I was blindly trusting the system?...

*Ding!*

[The system reminds you that the rewards earned for your efforts have no expiration date and will remain until the day you die]

'Oh well that makes me feel better right?! Now I know someone is plotting against me!'

But who could it be? If Hitogami can't see me, then someone who knows me must have informed him of my existence, and he's taking action against it...

'Oh, is it just Darius's action in retaliation for catching Thomas that day? So there will be more spies? No, that's impossible...'

"Aaagh! This is too complicated! I just want to fuck and get stronger!" He growled in frustration as he threw fireballs at the corpses.

They had nothing that seemed interesting to me and their armor were crap.

The corpses became ash in less than a minute and I simply de-thaw the remains with water.

"..." I remained silent as I considered my next course of action but in the end I simply decided to return home.

'I should be more cautious in the future in any case...'

When I entered the house Lilia and Zenith hugged me tightly.

"What happened out there, love?" Lilia asked with concern.

There was no need to hide it but I didn't want to worry them either.

"They were just bandits... They thought Paul was still in the village and they came to kill him," I replied.

Instantly my mother made a face of disgust and crossed her arms.

"Hmm! And to think that that asshole would still be causing trouble even in his absence!" She grumbled.

"It's not that bad, anyone who wants to hurt us will end up like those two, there's nothing to worry about," I replied with a smile.

"hmmm... If you say so..." She murmured with a smile and then a slight blush.

"Rudy... It's been a while you know?"

"We need to be fucked by our man"

They both said as they slowly began to undress while looking at me with lust.

"So what are we waiting for?" I replied with a smile and led both women to my room.

Only the moans of two women being fucked uncontrollably could be heard in the moonlit room.

[GIVE ME POWER STONES!!]
