Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (2021) s01e07 Episode Script

What Lies Beyond Effort

1
To think that you could react
to my feint just now.
I guess you'll become an
advanced swordsman soon.
Really?!
Yay!
How did I do?!
You got these all wrong.
What!
Upon your wanted place is
the great blessing of flame
The heat of daring light, here and now,
Fire Ball
Mum!
Mum, watch me cast magic!
It's amazing!
That's a bit scary
Don't do anything dangerous, okay?
Did I do anything wrong?
(Mushoku Tensei
Jobless Reincarnation)
I did it!
I'm amazed that I made it so well.
Oh, god
Coming.
Yes?
Rudeus-sama. Nice to meet you.
My name is Edna Leilon.
I have a favour to ask.
Not enough time for your lessons?
Yes. In half a year, Ojou-sama will turn 10.
On her birthday, a big party will be held,
and aristocrats in and
out of Fittoa will be invited
The main event
will be Eris-sama's dance show.
Oh, Eris's dance.
That's worth watching.
Oh, excuse me.
Aristocrats have a taste for dance.
I'd like to teach Eris-sama dancing too.
But at this rate, I can't even
teach her etiquette, let alone dancing.
I figured!
You figured?
Oh, nothing, please continue.
So, I am here to ask if you could share some of
your teaching hours with me, Rudeus-sama.
I see, I see.
If that's the case, go ahead.
Are you fine with it?
Because I want her birthday
to become a good memory for Eris.
Unexpectedly, I got more time.
Oh!
Books from other continents are around here.
I can't read this.
It's Beast God Language.
Are you interested?
I got some time now, so I'm thinking
about learning other languages too.
Beast God Language is amazing, you know?
Because you get to
have beast race servants!
I see. That's great.
Oh? So you understand
the greatness of that too?
Yes. It was my first time
seeing the real thing.
Those fluffy ears
You just can't resist it, can you?
I get it! I get it, Rudeus!
I especially love tails!
When their tails move according to
their emotions, oh my!!
You do have the lineage
of the Greyrat Family after all.
Philip-sama.
I'll study Beast God Language!
Very well. I specially approve you
to take the books outside.
May I also borrow books
of other languages?
Yup.
Thank you very much.
Dear Roxy-sensei. How are you doing?
Some updates about myself.
I've started learning languages
of other continents.
Beast God Language, Fighting God Language,
and Demon God Language.
Looks like there're so many
languages in this world.
Perhaps since I'm still a kid,
this body really comes with a great memory.
Let's learn as many foreign languages
as possible while I can.
This is no good!
I don't understand a thing!!
I can ask Ghislaine about Beast God Language.
Fighting God Language
seems similar to Human Language,
so I can somehow figure it out too.
But Demon God Language got me!!
I don't understand a thing!
I'm done!
Ojou-sama!
Eris?
I'm sorry that you had to see that.
What happened?
Ojou-sama just can't seem to dance well
I understand how you feel.
At this rate, Ojou-sama will
greatly disgrace herself
That'd be awful.
Yes, it'll be her 10-year-old birthday,
and yet to think
that she'd embarrass herself
No matter how you look at it,
that'd be horrible, don't you think?
So you want me to do something about it?
Would you please help me
persuade Eris-sama?
So that she'll return to practising dance.
I knew you'd be here.
So you can't dance w
Ouch
Would you return to practising?
I don't need dance.
But
I'm not attending the party either.
You're the leading role,
so there's no way you can be absent
Why do I have to do something
that I'm not good at?
I understand how she feels.
In my beforelife, I'd escape like her too.
But I understand it.
Someday, she'll regret it.
"What if I worked hard back then "
You can do everything,
so you won't understand.
There's no way I can do everything.
Is that so?
Of course.
For example, I started learning
languages of different regions the other day,
But I don't understand a thing,
so I'm having a hard time now.
Even so, I'm not giving up my study.
Why?
That's hard to answer, but
I guess because the more difficult it is,
the stronger sense of accomplishment you'll get
when you finally manage to do it
after trying your utter best.
I'll help you too.
Would you try practising dance again?
What are you doing?
Hurry up and follow me.
Okay, okay.
Allow me to accompany you, Ojou-sama.
Eris! Calm down a bit!
I am calm!
You're too fast! Try to stay on the rhythm!
You're too slow!
What the heck
To think that she's that bad
I don't get it!
Excuse me.
Rudeus-sama, you have a package.
So heavy What might it be?
It's from Roxy! She finally wrote back to me!
Roxy's scent
Dear Rudeus-sama.
I've read your letter.
So you're 8 years old now.
I believe you've grown a lot.
To think that you've become
the tutor of Fittoa Lord's daughter
I'm so surprised
that I'm at a loss for words.
And to think that you've even got acquainted
with Sword King Ghislaine
I can't imagine you being the same
Rudeus who peeked at my bath back then.
You're no longer the Rudeus I know anymore.
I'm still having a hard time
with the prince as always.
Now, getting to the main subject,
you said that you wanted to
learn Demon God Language.
There aren't a lot of books
about Demon God Language,
And the grammar is unique too,
so I believe it's difficult for you.
That's why despite being incompetent,
I wrote something like a textbook for you.
I wrote it by hand.
It took me quite some time,
so I'd be glad if you'll cherish it.
I'll probably cry if you sell it to a bookstore.
Speaking of which, the prince bought a statue
that looks exactly like me the other day.
The robe is detachable.
It's the same from my body shape
to where my mole is.
Perhaps I'll be cursed to death soon.
I'm worried.
I'll write to you again if I'm okay.
Best wishes, Roxy.
To think that Roxy's statue would reach there
The prince of Shirone does have an eye for it.
Written by hand, huh
Amazing
I feel so indebted to Roxy.
If I meet her again next time,
I'll lick her feet or something.
I have to work hard too.
W-With that, I guess you can
barely make it tomorrow.
Really?!
Yes. You'll definitely be fine if
your practice with Rudeus-sama pays off.
But I won't be her partner tomorrow.
Will it be fine?
I-In any case, remember what you've
practised today and try your best.
I got it!
I'm worried
Um, do you have rice?
Of course you don't, sorry.
Everyone, thanks for coming!
Today is the 10-year-old birthday
of my granddaughter Eris!
We've prepared lots of delicious food
from all over Asura Kingdom.
Please feel free to enjoy yourselves!
Eris-ojousama, happy birthday.
Thank you.
Can she endure this?
She won't punch someone
all of a sudden, will she?
Rudeus-sama.
Oh, Edna-sensei. How are you doing?
I wonder if Eris-sama will be okay
I hope it'll end without any incidents
Now! Let's start today's main event!
If you want to ingratiate yourself with me,
just take my granddaughter's hand.
Would you dance with me?
Sure.
O-Ojou-sama, w-wait, this is too fast
What's wrong, Eris? Stand up.
Don't tell me that you can't dance?
Ouch
So she's that spoiled kid as always.
I heard that she has improved recently, but
To think that she can't even
do that dance, how pathetic
Eris-sama
There's no future for
the Boreas Family anymore.
Would you dance with me?
-Who's that boy?
-Which family is he from?
Now you've done it, Rudeus
Just do it as we've practised.
I know.
Here we go.
Eris, could it be that you're nervous?
Grandpa, Dad and everyone are watching
Eris
I'm an amateur too when it comes to dance.
But this dance isn't that difficult.
The problem is
Eris, close your eyes.
Eh?
I'll enchant you so that
you'll be good at dancing.
Is there such magic?!
It's not magic, but enchantment.
When I give you the signal,
you take steps as if
you're dodging attacks.
W-Wait, Rudeus?!
Here we go!
Go!
Go!
Go!
Go!
Go!
This is!
-You're doing great, Eris.
-Eh?
Please repeat it like that.
O-Okay.
As expected from someone with the
lineage of Greyrat Family! Wonderful!
Rudeus-sama, what on earth happened?
We learnt how to counter feints
in swordsmanship lessons.
Feints?
The problem is not that
she can't stay on the rhythm,
but that her steps are too strong.
That's why when she tried to see through
the feints and delayed her steps,
Her pace became perfect.
That really opened my eyes.
You got it? Rudeus is amazing!
You managed to do it because
you practised hard, you know?
Rudeus-sama~
-How old are you?
-What are your hobbies?
Rudeus.
It'd be troublesome if you
stand out too much, but
Well, today is a special day,
so I'll allow it.
If you take them into bed,
don't forget about contraception.
Here.
What's that?
According to my master, magic masters
give wands to their disciples as gifts.
It's a bit late now, but please take these.
Eh? Rather than this, I want that thing.
Master Rudeus. I gratefully accept this.
No problem.
Um, so Eris wants that, right?
I-I want the wand too!
Thank you very much.
Make good use of it.
What?
Perhaps she's expecting a gift from you
This is an amulet that
has been passed down in my family.
It is said that if you wear it,
evil men won't assault you at night.
C-Can I have it?
Yeah, that's just a superstition.
I'll cherish it!
She looks happier than
when she got my gift
W-Well, she's a girl after all.
By the way, Ghislaine,
what do you mean by superstition?
Oh
On one night, I couldn't fall asleep.
Paul came and invited me to bath
Oh, forget what I asked.
Oh, okay.
What do they say about
turning down a woman's invitation?
I'm gonna assault you.
The amulet does have an effect.
They're really going at it
early in the morning.
Is that Rudeus?
Sauros-sama, I'm terribly sorry.
Looks like I've bothered you.
It's okay.
Look, Rudeus.
He's not his usual self today
I wonder if he's in post-nut clarity.
That is?
I don't know. But it's not a bad thing.
Why would you think so?
Because I'd better think so.
I see.
I'll pray too.
I hope that a girl falls from the sky.
(Episode 7: What Comes After Efforts)
Even if I learn the ABC's of love
I can't obtain it
The colony exhausted
from battles, needs you
(If you do)
There's nothing to be afraid of
(If you will)
So entrust your back to me
I want to break it, want to break it
If it's for you
Impurity or contradiction,
there's no distinction
I want to protect,
want to protect only you
Who taught me everything
