Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (2021) s01e14 Episode Script

No Such Thing as a Free Lunch

1
Hello, I'm the former shut-in NEET Rudeus.
Today I'm here at the popular free apartment
with zero security deposit and zero rent.
It is built with warm wood,
something like Japanese beech.
It comes with a bed,
but the drawback is that
some bugs are surrounding it.
A toilet is equipped too.
I guess you just poop into this hole.
I'm a bit concerned about hygiene
as a modern kid,
But even so, it's a bargain for the price.
After all, the rent is zero.
It's worth mentioning that
it comes with breakfast and dinner.
The food here is quite nice.
I have no idea what meat this is,
but for anyone who's been
used to living on Demon Continent,
you'd find it really delicious.
Now, let's talk about
the highlight of this apartment.
Reassuring security.
Just look at the firm lattice.
It's as steady as rock.
No thief would look at this
and want to get in.
But amazingly,
criminals do get in here.
After all
it's a prison.
The trees resound
I hold my breath
Without knowing each other's names,
I entrust myself to them
Deep in the forest,
A slight sunbeam filters through
Somehow, it feels like the warmth of mother
Oh, the fate left by people from the past
Engraved on my aching heart
Oh, the voice, the tree spirits
Let me hear the words of your desire
Proceeding through the mist
Before we wander around and meet each other
(Mushoku Tensei
Jobless Reincarnation)
Now, what do I do from now on?
It's easy to disable the lock
with magic and escape,
but I'm in the middle of a forest
It's not funny if I get lost
after the escape.
I'm innocent! I didn't do anything!
I happened to know that the kids were kidnapped
You pervert!
To think that they'd strip me naked,
dump cold water on me,
and even verbally abuse me.
What are they gonna do about it
if I develop some weird fetish?
God, please protect me.
Right now, I shouldn't act on my own.
Let's wait until Ruijerd and Eris come
Looks like people here just won't
listen to me, and it's troublesome.
Despite you having huge ears
Ruijerd is so slow
Did something happen?
Don't tell me, he later got into a fight
with the old man who chased after him
Or perhaps something happened to Eris?
Nah, I'm sure those two can't be beaten.
it's only been 3 days.
There's no need to panic.
Good things come to those who wait, right?
Bored
That hurts!
Darn you! Treat me nicer!
Welcome, to the last stop of your life.
What's wrong, newbie?
Well Why're you so arrogant
despite being naked?
Hey, newbie! Watch your mouth!!
I'm the senpai here.
O-Okay
Well, make yourself at home.
So? Why were you thrown in here?
Well, they found out I was cheating in games.
Oh, gambling, huh?
Was it rock-paper-scissors?
Or Steel Frame Crossing?
What's that? I cheated in dice games.
What about you, Senpai?
I hugged a silver dog,
and then got thrown in here.
Oh, that was you?
People have been talking about you.
That the "Sacred" Beast of Doldia
was attacked by the "Sex" Beast.
Who came up with that pun?
What's your name, newbie?
I'm Geese.
I see. I'm Rudeus.
Rudeus
I've heard that name somewhere
It's just a common name.
You're right.
Oh, by the way, I apologize
for the sudden question,
but did you see a red-haired girl
and a big bold guy nearby
who are looking for me?
Why are you suddenly being so polite?
Stop that, Senpai.
I'm here due to false charges.
But it's taking my comrades
forever to come and save me.
Well, how do I put it
I'm sorry to hear that.
Hey, stop that.
You're making it sound like I'm abandoned.
They're just too busy looking for
the kids' parents or something, right?
That's the spot
You're pretty good at this, newbie.
Because I can do everything.
Oh? Like beating up a dragon
with bare hands?
Nah, I can't do such things.
I'm poor at fighting.
Like doing it with 100 women
at the same time?
One would be enough.
Two at most.
Like escaping from here to Zanto Port?
Do you plan to escape?
I'm getting worried about my comrades.
I don't wanna. Escape on your own if you want.
Why?! At least consider being my guide
until I'm halfway through!
I've got something I gotta do too.
It's fine if you're innocent, right?
They'll understand.
No matter how many times I try,
they won't even listen!
I got it.
I'll hold the guard hostage
and have them show me the way to town!
H-Hey, calm down for a sec, Senpai!
Let me go, newbie!
I'm mad!
I'm gonna burn up this forest too!
Huh?
The young lady guarding us is gone.
Hey, newbie. Is it getting hot in here?
Now that you mention, it does feel hot.
Also, it's somehow smoky?
Did you do that, Senpai?
So it means?
A fire!!
T-This is bad, Senpai!
We'll be burnt alive at this rate!
What do we do?!
O-Of course we're getting out!
B-But we don't have the key?!
No problem.
Alright, let's go!
Oh, impressive! As expected of Senpai!
This is horrible
People have been talking about
these guys lately.
They kidnap and sell kids of beast race
No matter how you look at it
Aren't they going too far?
Honestly, I'm mad at the people in this village.
They locked me in prison
and wouldn't let me explain.
I think it's fair for them
to suffer just for a bit.
Mum, Dad!!
But even so, this scene
is way too disturbing for me.
What do we do, Senpai?
This is the perfect chance if we're escaping.
Make them owe us one
Eh? What did you say?
We'll help the beast race
and make them owe us one!
Okay, I like that!
C-Come at me.
Ouch!
Okay!
As much cold air as possible!
Amazing!!
Senpai, you're so good!
There's a magician.
Kill him!
I won't let you lay a finger on Senpai!
This is bad.
Should we retreat for now?
I don't know who you are,
but thanks for your assistance!
You!
We'll talk later.
If my nose were good,
you wouldn't be here earlier than me!
That's so cool
I'm taking the kids back.
Will you help me?
Understood!
Shut up and get in already!
Are you okay?
Y-Yes Thank you.
I'm glad you're okay.
They're capturing the kids in our village!
Hey, hey.
Stop it.
Just as I thought, it was you
Pet Owner, why are you with those guys?
While the red-haired brat
and the fake Superd guy
are still busy dealing with
the Beast Warrior group.
I was wondering why they haven't shown up.
So something did happen to them
Senpai, you know him?
Yes, just a bit.
Will you read the room, Pet Owner?
You managed to cross the sea thanks to me.
You mean you used us, right?
Of course, I did.
Normally, why would I ask you
to set free the kids that
we worked so hard to kidnap?
You guys were the bait.
To distract the Doldia guys.
I thought so.
Well, I did figure there was
something fishy about this
Say, Pet Owner.
Join our side.
Did you know? Beast brats sell really well.
Some aristocrat loves them and pays a lot.
What a disgusting pervert!
It can't be them, right?
Sorry, I refuse.
So Dead End wants to pretend
to be men of justice?
We want people to see us in that way.
I see. You just made
the wrong choice, you know?
Hey, hey, Senpai!
That's not looking good.
It's North God Style!
You know a lot, monkey bastard.
I'm North-Saint Cleaner Garus.
Now, come at me, Pet Owner.
Or did you get cold feet after seeing that,
so now you're thinking about
overlooking this, you coward?
What a coward, holding hostage!
I'd say that, but
This guy is strong
Perhaps I may as well overlook this?
Unlike Ruijerd,
I'm not so righteous that I'd risk my life
to save some kids who I don't know.
You're really not coming? So boring.
Alright then, Pet Owner.
Contact me anytime if you wanna join us.
H-Help me!!
Are you fine with that?!
What the!?
You bastard
Now you've done it!
As expected of Senpai.
Don't forget to bury my bones.
Now I have no choice but to do this
I'll just fight him with all I can
Sorry, Garus-san.
Dead End can't be evil.
Darn it. That's not funny at all.
Naive!
I can see it. I can do this!
Game over, Pet Owner!
Don't get in my way!
Go!
Did we do it?
We did it We did it! Senpai!!
S-Senpai?
Senpai!!
Rudeus!
Eris
This place is?
The house of Dedoldia's patriarch.
I heard about it!
You beat a North Saint, right?!
The guy with a monkey face
told me excitedly.
Did I win?
Against a North Saint?
Sorry!
We had no idea you were
the hero who saved the kids!
I, Gyes, am prepared for any punishment.
You can boil me or burn me as you want!
Rudeus-domo.
As Dedoldia's patriarch, I'd like to
express my gratitude once again.
Thank you so much.
Speaking of which, you two arrived quite late.
Did something happen?
I was really worried.
That's right!
Listen to me! It was a lot of trouble!
Eris told me excitedly
about what happened
during the week when I was in prison.
First, Ruijerd met the patriarch
Gustav afterwards,
and got misunderstood, just like me,
then almost got into a fight
with the Doldia Warrior Group.
Well, Ruijerd is a poor talker.
I can imagine that.
After they resolved the misunderstanding,
they all went to penalize the
remaining members of the smuggling ring
Or should I say, exterminate.
After that, the officials at Zanto Port
almost thought they were the smugglers.
Well, it was a lot of trouble.
Eris herself didn't
participate in the operation,
but she was in charge of guarding the kids.
And she talked about that
with a huge smile on her face
I guess because she has
the lineage of the Greyrat Family too.
Speaking of which, now that
we're at the beasts' village,
we'll have a lot of stories
to tell everyone at the Boreas Family.
Right! I'll boast to grandpa
when we got home!
I want to meet him as soon as possible!
Lord of Fittoa Region,
Sauros Boreas Greyrat.
In the mana calamity this time,
you failed to take legitimate measures,
and caused chaos among people.
Therefore, you're removed from your position,
and you'll be executed immediately.
Just entrust Fittoa Region to me, Darius.
You scum.
Eris.
My beloved granddaughter.
If you're still alive.
Please, live on happily
(Episode 14: Penny Wise and Pound Foolish)
The sky I used to watch by my window
Was it the same sky as the one above me now?
The dusk looks dyed
As if it can read my mind
At the place where we
left behind our innocent days
The wind is blowing as if it's welcoming us
Please don't change
The streets, the people
Please all be exactly as I dreamed of them
Just like back in the day
I pray to the first star to appear
For a way back home
(Next Time: Laid-Back Life
at the Doldia Village)
