Rudeus hurries to his house, weighed down by the warning from the Human God that he would regret his journey to Begaritt. When he arrives at the seemingly deserted house, he is relieved to find Aisha and a heavily pregnant, long-haired Sylphie, who assure him that everything is fine.

When Norn returns from school, the family gathers so Rudeus can deliver the sad news about Paul and Zenith. At first, Norn accuses Rudeus of not having done enough, but upon seeing his injured hand, she realizes he did his best. She breaks down in tears and is comforted by Aisha and Sylphie.

The news about Roxy hits Norn hard. She accuses Rudeus of having another woman while he was away and blames Roxy for accepting Rudeus' marriage proposal. Roxy, feeling guilty, tries to leave, but Sylphie intervenes. She explains that she accepts Roxy as Rudeus' second wife because she understands Roxy and sees herself in her.

Sylphie demonstrates great emotional maturity by acknowledging that her love for Rudeus can extend to others, and she is willing to share that love. She admits that the situation was shocking but not unpleasant, as she sees Roxy's genuine love for Rudeus.

Norn struggles to accept this new dynamic and vents her frustration during sword training with Rudeus. She remembers that her father had two wives and that Aisha, the daughter of her father's second wife, is also part of the family. This makes her realize she acted rashly.

The big day arrives, and Sylphie gives birth to a healthy daughter, Lucie Greyrat, who has Rudeus' straw-blonde hair and reddish-brown eyes. When Rudeus holds his daughter for the first time, he reflects on his role as a father and his shortcomings as Paul's son.

Rudeus visits Paul's grave to tell him about his life, including Lucie's birth and his marriage to Roxy. He apologizes for letting memories of his past life affect his relationship with Paul and acknowledges that he still has much maturing to do.

Despite the loss of Paul and Zenith's uncertain recovery, the Greyrat family finds solace in their reunion. Rudeus, Sylphie, and Roxy look forward to their shared future. Lilia and Aisha continue to care for the household and Zenith, while Norn focuses on her studies and resolves to wield her father's sword.

The family's reunion marks a pause before the next chapter, and it is hinted that Eris will return in the anticipated Mushoku Tensei III.
