MUSHOKU TENSEI: the beginning after the end

Roxy's POV

...

...

If someone had told me that I would marry that boy who I taught for 2 years in the Buena village a long, long time ago, I would have simply laughed and ignored it.

That would probably have detracted from the simple idea.

Simply saying: -he is too young-

I believed this for a long time... until this same young man saved my life in the teleportation labyrinth.

I still remember it like it was yesterday, after spending a month locked up and fighting relentlessly I reached a breaking point and gave up, I was ready to die but I was saved, saved by my disciple, Saved by Rudeus, saved by the love of my life.

He and I got married after some tragic and shameful circumstances, with him I had 2 daughters

Lara and Lylly..

And I was happy for a long time, obviously there were bad times, especially in our first years of marriage, Rudeus fell out with an evil god who wanted to kill me and my daughter.

And because of this, I didn't spend much time at home in order to protect myself, my daughter and our family, something for which I am deeply grateful to this day but...

Rudeus was a human and I am a Migurd, human life expectancy is only half of mine... so I unwillingly watched my husband die in front of me, it comforts me to know that he left in peace and surrounded by The people who love him, but....still...I miss him....I miss him so much, every day for 5 years...

Shortly after the death of Rudeus, Norn He gave My and Sylphie a biography book about Rudy, which I still treasure. What surprised me most was discovering his diary where he recounted his daily experiences and other more personal things...So to speak....in addition to countless compliments towards me, Sylphie and Eris.

It makes me miss him more...and it gets more painful every day...so painful that I have even thought of selfish ways to bring him back to life...

And from what I found In the library of the magic university...it is possible in a certain way....I just need a little of his blood and a large amount of mana....

According to my research, the amount of mana needed would be the equivalent of twice that of Laplace....I could do it...with my mana....in a lush forest and with mana crystals of a good size.

It wouldn't be impossible but... will it be worth it? What if it's only Rudeus' body but his soul no longer exists? Would I risk it like that for my selfish desire?....

No...I couldn't do that...for my children and for Sylphie I must let him rest in peace...

....

....

Now that I am the director of the magical university of Sharia I am always surrounded by paperwork and that is even though I attach half of it to my vice-director.

Still I do what I can to have time for myself and my family

-brrr...This winter is colder than the previous ones..- I murmured while I adjusted my coat and turned up the temperature of the heating.

Rudy invented many things in his life including heating....when he discovered that toxic gas wells were flammable he came up with a new energy idea, which he now replaced Entirely candles and torches

It was a day like any other, I had planned to stay at the office until it started to get dark and return home but...

(Thump!, Thump!, Thump!)

I heard knocking sounds on the door...

-Grandma Roxy! It's me Paul, please open the door. We have a serious situation at home!- I heard a voice that was indeed Paul's, Lucy's grandson

I rushed to the door and opened it.

-What's wrong? What happened?!- I said impatiently.

-Well...I don't know how to say it but...not long ago a man claiming to be Grandpa Rudeus! He came home asking to see Grandma Sylphie! And the worst of all...is that this impostor fooled Grandma and Orsted himself! You have to do something, Grandma! - Paul shouted at me, upset

What are you saying? A man who claims to be Rudy and deceived Sylphie and Orsted? That's not possible....

Sylphie would never mistake Rudy...and even less Orsted...

Could it be that he was revived?

The very idea excited me more than I thought

-Paul, describe to me what that boy looks like, as precisely as you can- I said as I gathered my things and left the office.

-Well...He has a large grey robe that looks very expensive....his hair is the same as mine...he wears a copy of Aqua Hertia...and he says that he was in the labyrinth and I don't know what, that he woke up outside of it...-Paul said as we walked off campus

Could it be possible that he was revived, but by Who?, and why? Or is he a very good impostor who deceived even the Dragon God himself?....

I have to find out this...

-Come on Paul, pick up the pace!- I said as I started running towards the house

-Y-yes grandma!- he said as he started running next to me

Rudy.....is it really you? I've missed you so much, I hope it's you...and if it's an impostor...I'll make sure something like that never happens again....

...

...

We arrived at the house and before entering I could see the children looking inside the house with curious expressions.

I quickly rushed into the house and what I saw left me stunned...

It was him! There was no doubt! It was Rudy! My Rudy! And he looks just like when I fell in love with him!

But I noticed something else....he was sitting on the sofa, next to Sylphie and Orsted, they seemed to be catching him up on everything that happened...and.....he started crying....My Rudy....he must be Overwhelmed and confused by this whole situation, I must comfort him I thought...but my feet did not move....was I dreaming?...impossible...

Without thinking twice, I gathered all my strength and rushed straight to kiss him.

-Rudy!!- I said as I rushed to kiss him, he was alive, and still as handsome as I remembered.

-Grandma Roxy?!, no please not you too!- Paul shouted in misery but I didn't care

Separating myself from the kiss with Rudy, I looked into his eyes, he had a bewildered look but I quickly caressed his cheek and he relaxed.

-Welcome home, I missed you so much my love- I said as I kissed him again

Rudeus had returned to me
