"From now on, the Boreas family will be on your shoulders, Rudius."
James said.
……
Rudius's perspective:
……
"call……"
It was another early morning, and the sky didn't seem very bright. I lay on my soft, warm bed, my head wrapped in soft, warm pillows, and my body encased in soft, warm blankets.
And temperature.
wait……
Soft and warm...
This is……
It's so familiar; that soft papaya, you can leave a handprint with just a light touch, let alone when it's pressed against your face.
And I was enveloped in soft, warm silk, as if I were taking a bath in hot milk, which was fragrant and sweet.
"Huff...huff...Rudeus..."
I pulled my hand away, parted the papaya, and looked at the red-haired girl's sleepy face in front of me. I couldn't help but touch her rather bouncy chin and suddenly wondered if she had gained weight.
While I was being held hostage in Grap City, Alice somehow gained weight?
That's outrageous!
But I could clearly feel her belly pressing against my lower back.
I lifted the blanket and looked down; the size was like it could fit two soccer balls.
It's grown so much in just six months.
For the sake of Rudeus's growth, Alice actually went so far as to gain weight herself, which is truly touching!
"Um...Rudy..."
At that moment, I felt a slight push from my stomach against my back.
Whose belly could it be? The voice talking in its sleep sounds like Sylphie.
“When Rudy put his legs on me, I felt so heavy, but when Rudy pressed his body against me, I felt so happy.”

Even without a transfer event, I will live a serious life [Chapter 284] I will get married after having a child.
Chapter 284: We'll get married after the baby is born.
……
“When Rudy put his legs on me, I felt so heavy, but when Rudy pressed his body against me, I felt so happy.”
As she spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice, Silphi wrapped her slender, fair arms around Rudeus's chest and pressed her slightly protruding belly against his back. "Rude, welcome back."
"Yes, thank you, Silphie."
Rudius grabbed Sylphie's small hand and held it in his palm.
When he returned to the mansion last night, he found Aisha waiting at the bedroom door, and that's when he learned that Shilufi was also more than five months pregnant.
"Rudy, I... I thought you..."
Hilfi pressed her face tightly against Rudeus's back, feeling the dampness on his back. Rudeus was momentarily speechless, then turned his head and said gently:
"Don't talk nonsense, Silphie, I'm back now, aren't I?"
"Um......"
Sylphie merely hummed twice, which once again stirred certain emotions within Rudeus.
He couldn't help but recall the time he spent with Sylphie in the past. It seemed that there was more sorrow than joy. Sylphie was always crying. Just when he was about to realize how precious Sylphie was, he had to accept the reality that she might leave at any time because of some forbidden technique.
Now, it's time to make Silphie happy.
However, as the father of the child in her womb, he only found out about her pregnancy after returning home, and was told by his half-sister, who was born out of wedlock.
This is the treatment a concubine receives.
"But even so, what can I do?"
Rudeus was perfectly clear-headed. With his current strength, he had no way of giving Sylphie a stable and happy life. Unlike Alice, who came from a distinguished family and grew up in luxury, Sylphie's parents had already planned her future, even though it was a starting point that a hunter's daughter like Sylphie could never achieve in her entire life.
"Perhaps, Sylphie is already satisfied."
Perhaps Sylphie herself is content with her current treatment. She has never said anything to Rudeus. Even when dealing with Lilith, the young lady from a noble family like Alice, she ultimately chose to give in despite her strong resistance.
But the more Rudius thought about it, the harder it was for him to accept, as if a huge stone was lodged in his heart, weighing heavily on his chest, making it hard to breathe.
Because at this moment, in Rudeus's arms, sleeping in the same bed with Rudeus, was also Alice, who was also carrying his child and loved him deeply. As the one who was loved, Rudeus could not forgive himself for the pain he had caused Sylphie, nor could he allow Alice to go through the same painful experience.
These two "little wives" must have waited in the room until midnight, but afraid of disturbing Rudeus, they deliberately waited until Rudeus fell asleep before sneaking into the room to sleep with him.
The harmonious relationship between his wife and concubine was probably the only thing that brought Rudius solace.
"Huff... Huff..."
Alice was still snoring, puffs of hot air constantly escaping from her delicate nostrils that expanded and contracted with each breath, slapping against Rudeus's face. It was the same before; every night after Alice had "vented" on him, Rudeus would be woken up by the hot air exhaled from her nostrils the next morning.
"However, she seems to have slept like this when she was a child."
"Huff... snoring... huff... snoring..."
Rudeus was momentarily distracted when he noticed that the little cutie behind him seemed to be snoring adorably.
Judging from their current appearance, it's possible that these two cuties waited all night and sneaked in at the crack of dawn.
"I really can't do anything with you guys."
Rudius sighed, but also felt a sense of joy and happiness, like a sapling that had struggled to break through the compacted soil and was now feeling the rain for the first time.
This was indeed a first for Rudius. Many ordinary people would be immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves, and ultimately destroy it all with their own hands.
But Rudius wouldn't allow himself to make such a mistake. People can change. Perhaps overnight, the NEET who skipped his parents' funeral to stay home and masturbate could become a mature and stable person with unlimited potential.
This change may have begun when Rudius unleashed "Haurei Cumulus" over Dark City when he left Lanoa.
Now, in order to protect this joy and happiness, Rudius must accomplish something, which may take a year or two, or it may take many years, but it is something that must be done, because the fate of being born in Asura has determined all of this.
He gently withdrew his arm, carefully got off the bed, afraid of waking Hilfi and Alice, covered them with the blankets, and then tiptoed out of the room quietly.
"Young Master, you're awake."
Aisha had been waiting at the door, and when she saw Rudius, she immediately greeted him.
"Just call me brother when no one's around."
Rudius put on his coat, straightened his collar, and asked Aisha, "Has Professor Luo Qixi been here?"
"Young Master, Miss Luo Qixi has been staying here. Last night, fearing she might disturb your rest, she asked me not to tell you, so..."
Where is her room?
"Young Master, Miss Luo Qixi is waiting for you at the restaurant. Shall I take you there first?"
"No need, you go ahead with your work."
Rudius waved his hand and walked towards the restaurant.
"Oh, right."
Rudeus suddenly turned around and said, "I'll arrange for you to go to school tomorrow. Miss Lilia can take care of things at home."
"Young Master, I..."
Aisha was at a loss for words. Upon hearing this, she thought Rudeus was punishing her for something she had done wrong. But as she watched Rudeus's figure disappear at the end of the corridor, her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
......
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Teacher Luo Qixi."
Rudius greeted Luo Qixi, who was sitting in the restaurant stuffing cake into her mouth.
"Um...Rudy!"
Luo Qixi almost choked, and only after taking a sip of milk and catching her breath did she recover.
"Teacher Luo Qixi."
Rudius pulled out a chair, sat down, and said, "Once Alice and Sylphie have their children, I plan to marry them."
"Congratulations, Rudy."
Luo Qixi sensed that something was off, but still congratulated Rudius.
She sensed something was off. Rudeus was smiling, but it was more like a mask. After nearly two years apart, Rudeus seemed to have changed completely, like a familiar stranger.
"Rudy, you must have something you want to tell me."
Luo Qixi said.
"Yes, Ms. Luo Qixi, I'm very sorry, but..."
"Rudy, you don't need to apologize. I will do my best to do whatever I can."
"Ok."
Rudius took Luo Qixi's small hand and held it in his palm. "Teacher Luo Qixi, can I end our teacher-student relationship?"
"what?"
Luo Qixi was stunned, her mind suddenly went blank, as if she had been struck by lightning.
"It's just a superficial thing, a performance for others to see."
Rudius explained, "In my heart, you have always been my teacher, the best teacher."
"Rudy, don't try to comfort me. I'm not really qualified to be Rudy's teacher."

Even without a transfer event, I want to live earnestly in this Mushoku Tensei fanfic [Chapter 285] But I want Teacher Luo Qixi to stay.
Chapter 285: But I want Teacher Luo Qixi to stay.
"Rudy, stop trying to comfort me. I'm not really qualified to be Rudy's teacher."
Luo Qixi raised her head, her eyes gradually welling up with tears. She clearly didn't understand what Rudeus meant, or perhaps she understood the meaning behind Rudeus's words, but a certain word Rudeus uttered touched a sensitive spot in her heart.
"No, Ms. Luo Qixi, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to disown you. In fact, you are the teacher I respect the most and the most important teacher to me."
Rudius explained, "What I said just now did have an element of selfishness in it, because this is the Kingdom of Asura, and I was afraid I..."
He really wanted to explain it directly, because once he did, all the contradictions would be resolved.
But the words "I had to do this for my future" were stuck in his throat, impossible to utter. Perhaps it was the last shred of conscience, or perhaps it was guilt towards Luo Qixi, but even such a simple sentence could not be uttered.
“I haven’t misunderstood anything, Rudy.”
Luo Qixi brushed the back of her hand across her eyes, wiping away the undried tears. Tears welled up again at the slightly red corners of her eyes.
For Teacher Luo Qixi, she didn't want to reveal such words to Rudeus so soon after their long-awaited reunion.
But she still decided to speak out.
"In terms of magic, Rudy, you've long surpassed me."
Luo Qixi composed herself, suppressing the joy of their reunion and the hurtful chill from Rudeus's words. She said calmly, "I told Rudeus long ago that being called 'teacher' by someone stronger than myself is an insult to me. I'd rather Rudeus not call me 'teacher' anymore. Besides, since you brought it up, Rudeus, isn't that perfect?"
"No, Ms. Luo Qixi, I was just talking about making some formal divisions. You really misunderstood."
Rudius felt a little flustered. He had made it very clear that it was just a show, and no matter what, the fact that Luo Qixi was his teacher would not change.
But it seemed as if Luo Qixi wanted to sever ties with him, which left Rudeus at a loss for words. He didn't know what to say or how to say it. Rudeus couldn't help but start thinking, and his true thoughts were inevitably buried in his mind.
“Rudy, I only came here to deliver your staff, but you weren’t here at the time, so I stayed a little longer. Now that you’re back and the staff has been delivered, I have no reason to stay here anymore.”
After saying that, Luo Qixi got up to leave. She didn't know when her tears would well up. Maybe it would be the moment she got up, or maybe it would be during her silent departure. In that case, it would be as if she had nothing to do with Rudy anymore. She understood what Rudy meant. She knew that Rudy still recognized her as his teacher. However, she could see Rudy's predicament.
"As a demon, staying in the capital would only cause Rudy trouble, so it's a good time to say goodbye."
She silently thought to herself, "Although parting is painful, all good things must come to an end. Let this be the last time we meet."
