Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu - Ch. 122 - Wedding

[Mitsu13]

Sylphy's low self-esteem in combination to putting Rudeus on a pedestal are author's way to make Rudeus' harem believable. In fact all 3 wives have level of low self-esteem and having too high of opinion of Rudeus that they resign to accept if Rudeus happens to marry multiple women (on top of nobles being known to be degen in this world). Order in which Rudeus marry also matters, if he married Eris first, she wouldn't let him marry another woman and she'd satisfy him sexually to the point of exhaustion most likely. Not sure about Roxy, maybe? Rifujin really put a lot of thought and care into the story.

Rudy also has low self-esteem, so they all match lol

It's understandable for Roxy and Eris because he literally saved their lives, while for Sylphie, Rudy is her first savior. This is also why Rudy thinks so highly of Roxy.

Later in the story we will see that Sylphie does not think that highly of Rudy anymore, but she still loves him very much; she just does not put him on a pedestal anymore, which is what Paul wanted to happen in the first place by separating them.

I'm very glad Eris is not the first (and only) wife, because she would not be able to handle what Rudy needs to do later in the story by herself.

If anything, I'd want to see Eris again only for her to realise the damage she did Rudeus by leaving and see how happy he's now without her.

You guys all talk like that was her intention rather than Rudeus' own stupid misinterpretation of her letter. He could have saved himself a lot of pain if he would have sat for a minute and thought things through.

 

[Northern]

I do, and understand why she did it. It's just not enough excuse and she didn't care about explaining properly. She could have waited until the next day and explain things properly to Rudeus face-to-face, making sure it's her own decision and not his fault in any way. Instead, she left before he woke up leaving only a badly written letter which didn't explain shit after both their first times and all they went through during and after the years-long journey back.

So yeah. "Cool motive, still murder", as I heard somewhere.

The letter wasn't really that obtuse. Rudeus jumped to an erroneous conclusion and ran with it, rather than rereading and thinking about it.

They spent a special, intimate night together, and the next morning she left a note saying they weren't good together. After being devastated and dejected he should read the letter that made him that way again?

"Dearest Rudy,

I'm sorry for leaving you like this after the wonderful night we spent together, but as I am now, I pale in comparison to your abilities. I am leaving you to train and I didn't want you to stop me. I will return when I am more worthy to be by your side, please don't look for me.

I love you ♡
Eris"​

That is how the note should have been written to avoid confusion. Instead she was cryptic and thought that he just understand what she was trying to say.

 

[Pyras]

.... So, why did Eris leave on her journey again ?
To become stronger.... because, she wanted to defeat that guy that almost killed Rudy ??
Why did he try to kill Rudy again ?

Bc when they ran into each other Rudy mentioned hitogami and orsted thought he was one of hitogami's worshippers

 

[Evidenox]

"She left saying we weren't a good match." Well, Eris was always shit at writing, so of course her saying 'I need to be stronger so I am not a burden to you' came across as a Dear John letter...

Sylphie saying she could handle more wives is basically some kind of flex. If Rudeus brought home the Princess or Nanahoshi, Sylphie would NOT be OK, not one bit.

Thanks for the scanlation!

That's because they have to love Rudy around her level. Nanahoshi doesn't love Rudeus although she is grateful towards him. The princess, her true love is the throne and only the throne.

I do, and understand why she did it. It's just not enough excuse and she didn't care about explaining properly.

You're missing her perspective. From her PoV she forced Rudeus into sex (Ch.52) which to us being in his inner monologue all the time seems ridiculous, but it's the truth. She was ashamed of herself and couldn't bear to face him.

she's mogging roxy to maintain her place in the hierarchy

I've read two versions of her letter (more like a note) and they're both quite literally this:

"We're not a good match for each other. I'm leaving on a journey." -Eris

How exactly can you not misinterpret that? Specially since the night before she asked him to become her family.

I've re-read the chapter and the previous one and I stay in the "cool motive, still murder" hill. With that extremely brief note and telling her former staff to not tell rudeus under any circumstances where she when the previous night she asked him to become her family, she was hoping for him to understand her in those circumstances. But how can you not? Little wonder Rudeus thought, and probably still thinks, Eris abandoned him without an explanation or a goodbye. She kind of did, actually.

She didn't want to cause that much pain to him, that I understand. But she did, mostly by being a bit of an insensitive moron. So at least I hope someday she becomes aware of that.

There are motives and circumstances that can get you off for murder or significantly reduce the charge such as battered wife syndrome or captives murdering their captor.

Remember that Eris is basically where Sylphie was and believes that Rudeus can do and understand anything. More importantly he can do and understand things that she cannot even fathom, she sees him practicing the magic that Orsted used and believes he's gearing up to fight Orsted again one day and not his real goal of learning it to run away. Remember that orsted has a curse of fear that Rudeus is also unaffected by increasing her view of him. So by her dunderheadedness she absolutely believes he'll understand the note she left him, but we know that Rudeus is an emotionally unstable person, Eris can't even fathom the idea that Rudeus is anything but perfect. It is the perfect storm for miscommunication because they aren't on the same page.
