Miss Eris is super loud!
Her voice, as if equipped with a small megaphone, made everyone's eardrums buzz!
Paul stood with his mouth agape, looking at the broken carriage door, completely unable to comprehend how things had developed this way.
Allen, on the other hand, dazedly tore his gaze away from Eris's hair and looked with difficulty at the still-smiling Philip, who was about to speak.
If you want to see if there's anything living under a calm water surface, the easiest way is to throw a stone into it.
If you want to see if someone possesses a certain desired ability, the easiest way is to...
Push them into a sudden 'variable'!
This was how Philip usually 'judged' people.
So he had prepared two variables for this trip.
One, a surprise visit from the great and enlightened 'birth father,' to give Allen a 'surprise.'
Two, a 'sister' as fierce as a rabid dog that no one could tame, to give Allen a 'scare.'
He hadn't even brought Ghislaine, the only one who could leash this 'rabid dog'!! Instead, he had used a beast-eared maid!!
This is very real.
Allen gnashed his teeth at the nonchalant Philip, looking at him with a sense of frustrated disappointment.
'You really are my damn father!!'
'This line of logic is exactly the same as the underlying plot of the original story, where he let Eris beat up Rudeus to observe his reaction and judge his investment value!'
'It's all about testing the investee's 'ability' in the face of a sudden variable.'
'No, you do this to your own son too!!'
'Damn it! Damn it!!'
Allen turned his head to look at Eris again, and his expression changed like a mask, revealing a happy smile.
'Damn it! How is my sister so cute!!'
Why hadn't the panel disappeared? Because it still had a task to issue. Perhaps shocked by Allen's appearance, its characters paused in the air for a few seconds before finally jumping and flipping again, transforming their shape.
Solidifying into a new task.
[...]
[Instant Task Issued.]
[Encounter with your sister—Eris.]
[The wheels of fate roll forward. I'm tired of saying 'the butterfly flaps its wings.' At this moment, the Host has met Eris under extremely 'coincidental' but inevitable circumstances.]
[Task Introduction: Within 48 hours, obtain the reverence a sister should have for her older brother.]
[Be careful, this task is not simple.]
[Task Reward: Godstrike Magic Slot—Unlocked.]
[Task begins.]
[Eris: Countdown: 48:00:00. If completed, the Godstrike Magic Slot can be unlocked.]
[I wish you goo—]
'I know, I know. Get out of the way, I want to see Red Mama!'
[...]
[For real.]
Philip looked at Allen, whose expression had suddenly changed, losing all composure, his gaze darting back and forth between him and Eris, his face alternating between sorrow, joy, contortion, and elation, and a hint of amusement appeared on his face.
'Was he scared by Eris's appearance? It seems he was, but he's also curious about his sister. The doting and happy look in his eyes doesn't seem fake. Is he a child who values family? Is he only resentful towards me? But with such a rich expression, he's still a child after all.'
'It seems bringing Eris was the right choice. I need a 'variable' to get more information about Allen.'
He turned to the equally stunned Greyrat family, glanced discreetly at Rudeus, who was slowly moving behind Allen, trying to maintain a terrified expression, and said.
"You've misunderstood. The simple job I mentioned is exactly as it sounds. It just so happens that there's a rather... hehe, I mean, Eris is in need of two durable home tutors.'
'It's really hard to find a teacher for this child. Currently, the only teachers she likes are Edna, who teaches etiquette and rules, and... Ghislaine, who teaches Sword God Style swordsmanship. She doesn't have many friends her own age...'
'Allen, as... a boy like Rudeus, and of a similar age, I'm sure everyone can get along very well and receive an elite education together.'
"If they can also teach Eris some arithmetic, it might also stimulate her 'competitive spirit.' The children can grow up 'happily' together, and there's a salary. Isn't that a good thing?"
Allen had been busy looking at the living, breathing Eris, but now, hearing these inhuman words, he couldn't help but cover his face.
As for the young miss of the Boreas family—Eris, although she wasn't one to listen to people.
She had clearly caught Philip's words 'two children.'
She maintained her arms-crossed posture, her mouth forming a ( shape, her brows furrowed, her fiery red eyebrows, which were slightly inverted, raised high as she looked around.
Sure enough, as Philip had said, there were two children present.
One was Sylphie, with a horrified look, shoulder-length white hair, and pointed elf ears, looking like a pushover, staring at her with a "How can such a person exist in this world?" expression.
The latter's somewhat unusual state of mind had been completely interrupted by this young miss and thrown to the back of her mind.
The other was Rudeus, with a terrified expression, his entire body language screaming, "Don't you come near me!"
Her gaze lingered for a moment on Sylphie's white hair and pointed ears.
"You must be Rudeus!"
Sylphie: ?
Rudeus: ??
Before she could speak, Eris turned her gaze to Rudeus, who was still trying to hide behind Allen and now had a confused look on his face, and said loudly with a pout.
"You must be Allen!"
Sylphie: ?
Rudeus: ??
Allen: ????
Rudeus was stunned, unable to understand what this young miss with hair as red as if it had been doused in primary-colored paint was doing.
He subconsciously frowned and said.
"Me? Allen? You..."
With a crisp smack, Eris slapped Rudeus across the face, sending him stumbling. She turned to Philip and shouted in dissatisfaction.
"What's this! This person is even smaller than me! How can you let someone like this teach me swordsmanship instead of Ghislaine!!"
Philip looked at Eris with his mouth agape, then at Rudeus, who was clutching his face, looking dazed and unable to comprehend the situation. He then looked in turn at the shocked Paul, Zenith, and Lilia.
Finally, his gaze fell on Allen on the side.
He found that the latter had covered his face at some point.
But the gap between his fingers, the very happy corner of his eye, and the constantly twitching skin on his face revealed that his mental activity was not as simple as his body language suggested.
If you transmigrate into Mushoku Tensei and don't see the famous scene of Rudeus getting beaten up, what's the point of transmigrating??
Oh, you say there's a slight deviation? The person Eris was supposed to beat up was Allen, but now the slap has landed squarely on Rudeus's face?
It doesn't matter.
Allen is just a codename.
You can be Allen.
I can be Allen.
So Rudeus can naturally be Allen too.
This is very reasonable.
Right?
(Please, please turn the page to the end and give me some follow-up reads!! Friends who are listening to the audiobook, come out and get some air!! All you Lord Allens!!)
Scrapping the heavy plot development I had already written.
It shouldn't be like that.
Please be sure to turn one more page!
Tomorrow at the same time, I need to count the follow-up reads.
The day after tomorrow, things will return to normal.
Thank you!
