The creator of the series, Rifujin na Magonote, has clarified in several interviews that Rudeus is not a 34-year-old mind trapped in a child's body. When he was reincarnated, his past memories were transferred, but his physical brain and hormones developed from scratch. His urges, fears, involuntary erections, and emotional clumsiness are those of a child and then of a teenager. His brain processed love and attraction in line with his biological growth, not like that of a 34-year-old adult.
On Earth, the original Rudeus shut himself in his room at 14–15 years old after suffering severe trauma from school bullying. Chronologically, he lived until 34, but emotionally he never matured beyond a high school teenager. He had no work, romantic, or social experience as an adult. When he arrived in the new world, his emotional maturity advanced in parallel with his physical age.
Even though, for the modern viewer, the concept of reincarnation raises a very uncomfortable moral debate in the first episodes, within the logic of the story Rudeus is simply a boy from that world who possesses the knowledge of a past life, but who matured, grew up, and fell in love at the same time as Sylphy and Eris.
Sylphiette would accept Rudeus's past, comfort him, and her love for him would become even deeper (copy and paste to help keep the anime from getting canceled)
