Reunion

Dad
Dad
Dad Where is this place?
What the heck is this?
Zenith? Lilia? Aisha?
Why am I here?
That abnormality in the sky?
Dad?
Don't worry.
Let's go home now.
To those wondering about where to head to
The light of stars is granted
The voice of ploughed soil
Gives birth to lives
The grief of wilderness
Grants it running rain
So a grain of crop grows on land
Let's offer our prayers
So a grain of crop grows on land
Let's offer our gratitude and prayers
(Mushoku Tensei
Jobless Reincarnation)
Hey, I've been looking for you.
Geese, you jerk!
Where the heck did you go?!
Whoa, what's wrong?
You're in such a bad mood as always.
Hey, Miss. Get me the same drink as his.
Okay.
Paul, show up at the Guild tomorrow.
Why?
You'll probably meet an interesting guy.
What's wrong? You look so depressed.
It's nothing.
Liar. There's no way you'd
make that face if nothing happened.
Just what happened, Paul?
Talk to me.
I see
Say, aren't you expecting
too much from your son?
Huh? I'm expecting too much, from him?
I mean, just think about this.
It's true that Rudeus is amazing.
I've never seen anyone else
who could use magic without chanting.
Yeah, that's right.
He's amazing.
After all, when he was five
However, Rudeus is still
just a 11-year-old brat.
What were you doing
when you were 11, Paul?
What, you say
If you were told to live on
Demon Continent back then,
could you do that?
Geese, you're ignoring the premise here.
He had that Superd guy as his guard.
Even people weaker than me can
travel across Demon Continent in that case.
Nah, you can't.
You definitely can't.
Then it just proves my point even more.
He managed to do something that I can't.
He's a genius! Genius!
Is it wrong to expect more
from those who are capable?
Hey, Geese. Am I wrong?!
You're wrong. And you're always wrong.
Geese!!
You've never been to
Demon Continent, right?
What about that?
As you know, I was born there.
If you ask me, you're just underestimating
Demon Continent way too much.
What am I underestimating again?
People like you who're born
on Central Continent
are just too naive to understand.
Outside the town, it's nothing but desert.
During the day,
it's so hot that you'd pass out.
And at night, it's extremely cold.
You can't get firewood
without defeating monsters,
and there's no water if you're thirsty.
It doesn't rain either.
What's more, strong monsters
that you'd never meet here
wander around everywhere.
You're definitely overexaggerating things
His first time on an unknown land.
His first time on an adventure.
Besides, he has to pay
attention to that Superd
who might change his mind at any time,
and there's a girl right behind him
whom he has to protect.
No matter how much of a genius Rudeus is,
everyone has their limits.
What's more, he's still just a kid.
Then, why would that boy
who's supposedly barely getting by
talk about his adventure story
that happily?!
Of course, because he doesn't
want to worry you.
Huh?!
Why would he worry about me?
Is it because I'm a useless father?
Yeah, because you're a useless father.
I see.
I guess so.
I'm a weak person who resorts to alcohol.
I must be pathetic to a genius's eye.
It doesn't take a genius to see
how pathetic you are right now, Paul.
Aw, what a poor boy.
He went through all the
hardships to travel here,
and finally got to meet his father again.
Yet his father has become a drunk scum.
If I were him, I'd cut ties with the father.
Say, Paul.
Why can't you be honest and
just be happy about the reunion?
Who cares what kind of journey
Rudeus has had so far?
You met each other
and you're both healthy.
First, you should be happy about it.
Or is it that you wanted him to show up
losing part of his body and
with a lifeless look in his eyes?
You should think it over
when you're sober.
Captain
Dad
Dad, Norn's cheeks are so soft!
Dad
You didn't come and find me in time
so my body became like this
I see.
That face does look terrible
Welcome.
Oh, well
Who the heck are you?!
Paul Greyrat.
His father.
I know!
Look at you, hiding behind a woman.
You're such a ladykiller.
I'm amazed that you dare come here
after making Rudeus suffer like that!
Wai-! Ruijerd!! Let me go!!
Give them some time alone.
You saw Rudeus too yesterday, right?!
He has no right to be a father!
Don't say that.
That's just how fathers are.
-You may have your arguments,
-What do you mean, Ruijerd?!
-but your son has to be alive to hear those.
-Hey Don't just say whatever you want!
-Where are we going?!
-O-Okay
So he's the one
you talked about yesterday?
Yes, Ruijerd-san of Superd race.
He looks quite nice.
Aren't you scared of him?
No way. He's my son's saviour, you know?
So, what brought you here?
Well Um I want to apologize to you
About what?
About yesterday.
You don't need to apologize.
To be frank, I've been travelling
in a playful mood so far.
So it can't be helped if you're mad, Dad.
During this difficult time,
I should say sorry.
No, that's not true.
You did work really hard, right?
No, no, not at all.
It was a piece of cake.
I see. A piece of cake, huh
I do feel sorry
that I didn't find the message.
What did you write?
"Don't bother to find me,
search the north of Central Continent."
I see
So Rudy, what are you
gonna do from now on?
For now, I'm taking Eris to Fittoa Region.
There's nothing in Fittoa Region, you know?
The town and the people, are all gone.
I'm sorry to say this, but
I'm afraid everyone of the Boreas Family is
But we're going back there.
But
After that, I'm thinking about
searching for Mum and Lilia.
I see.
It's on the house.
Thank you very much
Say, boy. I don't know the details, but
At least look at your father's face.
What's with that face?
What do you mean by that?
I think I've seen the same
face somewhere before
That's right. It was
Right after I started becoming a shut-in
You're so good at this as always!
Although, how I envy you.
You're just free to play games all day.
I wanna become a shut-in too.
School is so boring.
My father is strict,
so he'd never allow me to be a shut-in.
I wonder if I can find a reason to do that.
What do you think?
Don't be silly!!
W-What's wrong?
You're saying that
because it's not about you!
H-Hey, don't get mad.
I was just joking, you know?
Do you really understand
what I've been through?!
Wai-?!
I was so depressed,
yet why would he talk to me
while laughing in such a carefree,
happy and insensitive manner?
That was what I thought.
When I calmed down,
I realized that I went too far.
I did know that he was
trying to cheer me up in his own way
I thought I'd apologize to him
if he came again next time.
But he didn't show up ever again.
And I didn't go out to visit him either.
Because I had my weird self-esteem.
But Paul came to me.
He went out of his way to
come here and apologize.
Dad, I have a proposal.
What is it?
We're in a difficult situation right now.
We need to act like adults.
What are you trying to say?
I believe Paul just turned 30 this year.
He's still younger than me in my past life.
But I did nothing but to
think about how to blame him.
Compared to me,
he's doing an excellent job.
Let's forget about what happened yesterday.
We didn't fight or anything.
Right now, at this moment,
the father and the son reunite
after several years.
Let's make it this way!
What are you talking
But I'm not who I used to be either.
Just come here, please.
O-Okay?
Now, spread your hands.
L-Like this?
Please crouch down.
I can't jump into
your arms this way, can I?
O-Okay?
Dad! I missed you!!
R-Rudy?
Hey, you haven't met your son
in such a long time.
You've got something to say, right?
M-Me too
I missed you
I missed you too
I missed you so much
Rudy!
I couldn't find anyone all this time
I thought maybe you were all dead
You, I saw you
Sorry
I'm sorry!
Rudy!!
Dad
I'm the one at fault I'm sorry
Just like that, I finally managed to
reunite with my father.
So, have you gotten a fourth kid yet?
Nah, not really
I got you on my first try though.
To think you got such an
excellent son on your first try,
you're so lucky, Dad.
Listen to yourself!
Oh, welcome ba-?!
W-What's with that bruise?!
I had a hard time stopping her.
Eh?
Why are you together now?
We've made up.
Why?!
Rudeus, you were that depressed
yesterday, weren't you?
Eris, sorry about yesterday.
But
What?
Both my father and I are human beings.
We both fail at times.
We've troubled you two.
Sorry.
No, it's okay if you've made up.
Healing.
Now, this may be sudden,
but let's start our second
strategy meeting in Millishion.
Didn't we just have one
the day before yesterday?
The situation has changed.
Dad gave us travel fee
and introduction letters.
Now we shouldn't have any problem travelling
from Milis Continent to Central Continent.
Although, Eris.
I'm sorry to say that
Our hometown doesn't exist anymore.
I see.
It's possible that Philip-sama and
Sauros-sama haven't been found yet
It can't be helped.
Ghislaine is missing too,
so perhaps
Listen, Rudeus.
I'm prepared for that already!
I see.
Then, I'm thinking about
leaving this city tomorrow.
Are you two okay with it?
That's fine with me!
Are you sure?
If you leave, you might not
meet your father again.
Because if I don't look for my family now,
I won't meet them again.
So I want to prioritize that.
I see.
You're right.
Alright then, I'm going.
Okay, take care.
Hey, Norn, say goodbye to your brother.
No.
Norn,
I don't know how many years it'll take,
but let's meet again sometime.
No.
Cherish your siblings.
Okay then.
Dad, please take care of yourself too.
Yeah, you too.
Are you done saying goodbye to your son?
Geese!
Thank you for helping me.
Not at all.
What's wrong?
Are you heading somewhere again?
Yeah, I've searched
most parts of Great Forest,
so I'll head to Begaritt next.
You haven't searched there at all, right?
Don't tell me, you!
See ya!
Alright!
Vella, Shella,
we're rescheduling starting today.
Prepare a meeting for me.
Okay!
