Leon Greyrat: The Second Son – Mushoku Tensei OC

— Leon Greyrat —

It was the day after Oldeus’ surprise appearance, and after spending the entire morning in bed with my lovely Roxy and Sylphy, as well as an eventual surprise visit from Aria, I felt most of my fatigue vanish thanks to their comforting presences.

So, after a filling lunch, just like I had planned that morning, I picked up my brother at his house before heading over to Shizuka’s place.

“So… you want to meet Orsted?” Shizuka asked, confused. “Didn’t you say you wanted nothing to do with him? After he… well, you know.”

I definitely knew.

The scar on my chest and back made sure of that.

“Yeah, but… the situation has changed,” I said. “So? Do you know where he is?”

While Oldeus had said that she knew, that was mostly just his speculation.

I really hoped she did, because if not… it would be extremely troublesome.

Especially since I couldn’t just leave to search for him across the world with the threat of my family still being very real.

“Not exactly… he is a very mysterious man, and he’s not one to waste his time,” she said. “Why do you want to see him anyway? I’m pretty sure he isn’t planning on hunting you down, if that’s what you’re worried about.”

“I just want to meet him,” I said. “But… do you truly not know? Not even a hint?”

Shit… this would get really annoying if so.

Shizuka looked at me, narrowing her eyes for a few silent moments before she sighed.

“No. I have no clue where he is,” she said as I deflated in sadness. “But… I do have a way to contact him.”

I perked back up quite quickly at that.

“Really?” I asked, eyes widening. “Then… can you?”

She nodded her head. “Consider it payment for all the help you’ve given me, as well as for letting me use your bath. Now, as for how long-”

“Shizuka,” Rudy suddenly said, interrupting her. “You… well…”

He then turned to the side to look at me, giving me a difficult expression before turning back to the girl.

What was that all about?

“Kare ga kuru made dore kurai kakarimasu ka?” he asked.

That unfamiliar language… what the hell were they talking about now?

Was it about that odd name Oldeus mentioned?

Kitamura Ryousuke or something?

Still… did they have to leave me out like this?

Shizuka looked at Rudy in confusion before turning to me, her eyes darting between us a few times before responding.

“…Wakaranai. Kare ga ten'i iseki ni dore dake chikai ka ni yotte kotonarimasuga, sū-shūkan-teido kakaru to kangae raremasu,” she said, in that same foreign language they shared.

Was it really something so serious and secretive?

“Naruhodo.” Rudy nodded before he bowed his head to Shizuka. “Soredewa, kare ni renraku suru made ni sū-kagetsu matte itadakemasu ka? Onegaishimasu.”

She looked at him for a few moments in confusion before eventually nodding her head and looking back to me.

“It… will take a few months for him to come,” she said, looking back to Rudy. “Is that acceptable?”

“Yeah,” Rudy nodded.

“Sure… thanks,” I said, still a bit confused about what had gone on between the two. “Feel free to continue using my bath as well.”

“I was going to do that anyway,” she said, turning back to her desk. “Now, I would love if you two could leave me alone. I’ve had to essentially re-invent my plans with the discovery of multi-layered magic circles, so I am quite busy.”

“Got it,” I said, shaking my head fondly as I went up to her. “Just… don’t tire yourself out too much.”

Placing my hand on her head, I rubbed it a few times before letting go.

Shizuka… while I wasn’t focused on it as much while I was reading, the diary did mention how she had run into another failure with her goal of getting home, and this time, she didn’t have a new discovery to get her out of it.

And so, overcome by grief and doubt… she killed herself.

It was a hard thing to swallow… in some ways, even more so than my future wives’ deaths.

After all, unlike the past Rudy, I was here to protect those three from the damn Man-God, but as for Shizuka finding a way back home… I had no way to help with that.

For all intents and purposes, Shizuka’s fate was the hardest to change.

I still wasn’t sure what I could do, especially with me being busy with the Man-God, Ariel, and my family, but… I could at least be here for her.

And Rudy too, of course.

“…I wasn’t going to do that anyway,” she said, patting down her hair as she glared at me. “And don’t do that. It’s rude to touch a girl’s hair without her permission.”

As always, her glare didn’t really have that much heat. It was more out of embarrassment.

“So I just have to ask first?” I teased.

“Tsk. Didn’t I tell you to leave?” she said, frowning at me before she turned away. “I’m not your daughter, you damn womanizer.”

“Ah, that’s true,” I said, turning back to walk towards the door. “But still, feel free to stop by and relax.”

“Close the door behind you,” she returned coldly.

I guess she was in a mood today.

But still… it was nice to know she was alive and just as motivated as ever.

As we began walking down the stone steps, Rudy suddenly stopped, turning back to look at me with a serious expression.

“Brother,” he said, his tone serious. “I know you said to not fight the Dragon God, but… if it ended up coming to blows… would you help me?”

Hm? What was this?

Wait… I see.

He still wanted to fight him, didn’t he?

Was that conversation between the two from before about this?

Well… I guess I can’t fault him for that.

Orsted… it’s difficult to explain just how insanely strong that guy is without experiencing it, and unlike me, he had the Man-God whispering to him in his dreams, likely scaring him with the threat that he brought every night.

And aside from that… now that my emotions have cooled down ever so slightly… I could see the benefit of not outwardly contesting the Man-God.

I still planned to, of course… but seeing as there was still a few months before I could meet Orsted, it wouldn’t do any good to make the Man-God an enemy in the meantime.

I would just have to be sure to stop Rudy if he starts something on the day of the meeting, lest I get another hole in my torso.

“Yes,” I said, patting his shoulder. “You’re family, so of course I’ll fight with you.”

And that wasn’t necessarily a lie, either.

If Orsted ended up trying to kill my brother, I would defend him with all the power I had.

Haa… I just hope that my second meeting with the Dragon God won’t go as badly as my first one.

— Eris Greyrat —

“So this is it…” I said in amazement as I stared at the snow-blanketed building in front of me.

It was big, just as Leon had promised, but I didn’t expect it to be this… beautiful.

He had sent me some drawings of it, but they really didn’t do it justice.

The large yard was perfect for training, and with all those windows, I bet there were more than enough rooms for all the children we would be having, but still… the main thought that was running through my mind was how this place… this home… it was mine.

Mine and Leon’s.

Well… Sylphy’s, Roxy’s, and Aria’s too… and also that princess that Leon was protecting… 

But still, I was excited.

So, so excited!

My last home, back in Roa, didn’t really feel like a home. It was more like… just a place that I happened to live in.

But back in Buena Village… that warm, comforting atmosphere… that was a home.

And now I would have one to spend the rest of my life in with my family.

I felt my lips tug upward into a smile.

Walking up to the front door, I took a deep breath before knocking.

Shit.

Was that too loud?

What if the baby was sleeping in there?

Wait, was anyone home?

It was midday, after all.

Dammit, I already-

Before my train of thought could continue, the door opened to reveal my friend that I hadn’t seen in nearly two years.

“Eris?” Sylphy said, looking at me in shock for a moment before her mouth widened into a smile. “Welcome back!”

“U-Uhh, yeah… I’m home…” I said, my eyes going up and down her figure in shock.

Sylphy… she was very different.

Her silver hair was still mostly the same, reaching her chest with the ends slightly curled, but her face… it was much fuller and… more mature… while her breasts were easily seen pushing against the fabric of her shirt.

In short, she looked like a woman.

That Sylphy… well, I suppose she was sixteen now, so it made sense.

And that belly… it was large, to the point where I was nearly concerned with the size.

Right… Leon’s last letter had mentioned how she was in the final stage of pregnancy, but still… it was quite a shock to see it in person.

So I guess I was the only one behind, huh?

I’d have to fix that.

“Mama Sylph?”

Hearing the voice of a young girl, I watched as a toddler slowly toddled over to us from behind Sylphy, her head tilted to the side cutely as she looked at me with her wide, curious brown eyes.

And that blue hair that was tucked into a messy braid… this must be Roxy’s kid, right?

“Who you?” she asked, pointing to me.

Urk.

I… how would I explain this?

Taking a subtle glance at Sylphy, she nodded at me before I crouched down, ensuring that not a single bit of bloodlust was being released, even unconsciously.

“You’re Aria, right?” I asked gently.

“Mhmm! Aria Greyat!” she said confidently.

“It’s ‘Greyrat’, sweetie,” Sylphy corrected with a smile.

“Oh… Aria Greyat!” she said, repeating the exact same mistake.

Heh.

Leon’s letters were right. She was absolutely adorable.

As much as I wanted a son… I guess a daughter wouldn’t be bad either.

“And I’m Eris Greyrat,” I said, extending my hand to pat her head. “And I’m… well…”

Aria here called Sylphy ‘Mama’, right?

So it wouldn’t be too overbearing for me to be called that as well, right?

“I’m also your Mama,” I said with a smile. “Nice to meet you.”

She once again tilted her head cutely, raising her hands to grab my arm as she then beamed at me.

“Mama Eri!” she said.

Hnngh… that… felt quite nice.

It was difficult to describe… perhaps it was her pure charisma? Her cuteness? Her innocence?

Or was it because she was Leon’s daughter?

Either way… this feeling was definitely that one that I was missing.

The warmth… the love of family… to think I would be able to feel this without even seeing Leon…

Family really was amazing.

“Yeah, that’s me,” I said, ruffling her shoulder-length hair as I got back up.

“Eris… that was so cute!” Sylphy said, smiling at me as she pulled me into a hug.

Urk… right, she was here too… I felt a bit embarrassed about having such a scene seen by others.

“A-Anyway,” I said, gently hugging her back. “Where’s Leon? He’s a swordsmanship instructor, right? Is he doing that?”

“Err… he’s actually guarding Princess Ariel, right now,” Sylphy said, scratching her cheek. “You remember her, right?”

“Yeah,” I nodded.

Right… with Sylphy being pregnant, it was only obvious that she would not be able to guard her anymore.

Not to mention that Leon had apparently already fought off some strong assassins.

Still… I really wish he was here right now.

“Don’t pout, Eris,” Sylphy said, pinching my cheek. “He’ll be home soon, and I’m sure he’ll be ecstatic you’re back!”

She then glanced down at Aria, who had looking at me with interest ever since I stopped patting her head.

“And, well…” she said, moving closer to whisper into my ear. “According to Roxy, he’s been a beast recently, so… I’m sure he won’t be able to keep his hands off of you.”

Oh?

That… did sound nice.

“So, while you wait, how about I show you around?” Sylphy said, grabbing my hand. “And you can get your room set up and have a bath as well!”

“A bath… right, that would probably be good,” I mumbled.

I had been travelling for over a month now, and I didn’t want Leon to think I wasn’t taking care of my hygiene.

After all, once he got home, I didn’t plan on waiting for too long before I began contributing to the family.

Ah, but I should probably meet Aria’s mother first, right?

Roxy should be at the university too, if I’m not mistaken.

I just hope they don’t take too long.

— Leon Greyrat —

A month had passed since my surprise meeting with Rudeus from the future, and after getting Shizuka to contact Orsted, it was now just a matter of protecting what was dear to me until I could finally lay down a plan to take down that Man-God.

Only after getting some information from that seemingly all-knowing Dragon God, of course… and hopefully gaining an ally in him as well.

And as for Rudy… well, I hadn’t been seeing him a lot lately, as it seemed that he had been focusing on developing his magic armour alongside Cliff and Zanoba.

I was still a bit worried about how much influence the Man-God had on him, but for now, I was just glad he was aiming to get stronger.

Between him and Eris, I was confident I could leave the protection of our families to them while I went out to find those sacred treasures, wherever they were, and finally end this annoying battle.

“It’s getting annoyingly cold again,” Roxy mumbled from my left, burying her head further into her coat.

“It is the eighth month of the year, after all,” Ariel said smoothly from my right.

“Yes, but knowing that does not change the temperature,” Roxy sighed, leaning closer to me.

“Do you want me to warm you up?” I asked, placing my arm around her shoulder. 

“Mmm… no, I can bear with it,” she said. “But… maybe tonight?”

Turning her face up to look at me, I took in those enchanting blue eyes and those thin lips… and with the way her cheeks were rosy, either from the cold or her request, I couldn’t think of her as anything but overwhelmingly beautiful.

I… was really lucky to have her, huh?

Yeah… really lucky…

“Of course,” I said, clearing my head of less than amazing thoughts as I kissed her forehead. “I’ll keep you warm all night.”

“G-Good,” she said, turning her face away from me as we continued walking towards our house, with me tactfully ignoring the princess’ giggles.

As we kicked off the snow and slush from our boots on the porch, I then went to open the door, instantly sensing a familiar presence inside.

This… she was here already?

I know I told her to hurry up, but… this was a surprise.

But a very welcome one.

“Leon? Is something wrong?” Roxy asked.

“No,” I returned, shaking my head. “It’s just… it seems like we’re all together now.”

With Ariel and Roxy tilting their heads in curiosity, I then heard the wind whip through the hall as a red blur slammed into my chest, nearly making me tumble even with the touki reinforcing my body.

Yep… that was definitely her.

“Eri… I missed you,” I said, wrapping my arms around her as I buried my nose into her hair.

Ah… yeah, I really did miss her.

“Leon… I’m home,” she said, her voice muffled from my chest.

“Yeah… welcome home,” I said.

We stayed like that for a few moments, simply basking in each other’s presence and comforting warmth, as I made note of a few changes.

First, she was a bit taller, her head now reaching my nose, unlike Sylphy and Roxy, where I could still easily rest my head on theirs.

Then, there was her strength that was currently squeezing me tight.

She was… very strong.

From her pure physical might that I felt intimately through her grasp, as well as the touki I could see flowing smoothly through her body, I could confidently say that she had grown as a swordswoman in our time apart.

Hmm… she was a Sword Saint on the stronger side when we parted, so by now she was probably a Sword King. And a strong one too.

Heh… it seems like she has worked quite hard.

I would have to praise her later.

And lastly… there was her body.

From the sharp facial features I had caught a glimpse of as she ran towards me, as well as the pair of pillows pressing against my chest, I could confidently say that the girl I had fallen so deeply in love with had truly become a woman.

And I still loved her just as much, of course.

Relinquishing our holds on each other, she then wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me into a deep kiss as my hand went up to rake my fingers through her hair.

Just as she had said, she had kept it short, leaving it to her shoulders.

And it felt quite smooth… did she have a bath?

She must have.

Separating our mouths, she licked her lips as she stared at me with lidded eyes before reluctantly letting go of my neck.

I guess I knew who I would be with tonight.

Sorry, Roxy, but I don’t think Eris would take no for an answer.

And from how long we’ve been apart… I think it will take the entire night to get reacquainted.

With Eris turning to the other two women, she nodded at Ariel, who returned Eris’ greeting with a nod before the redheaded girl looked over at Roxy.

“U-Umm… I’m Roxy… nice to meet you,” Roxy said. “You’re… Eris, right? Leon’s told me a lot about you…”

Eris simply stared at the girl for a few moments before nodding.

“Hmm… nice to meet you too,” she said. “And… well… did Leon really tell you about me?”

“A lot,” Roxy said, smiling slightly.

Well… I guess it would be asking too much for them to become friends right away, but I hoped that they would get along over time.

“Dada!”

Hearing a familiar childish voice along with the patter of light footsteps, I crouched down just in time to catch Aria as she ran into my arms.

“Home!” she cheered.

“Yes, I am,” I said. “How was your day?”

“Met Mama Eri!” she said, pointing over to Eris beside me. “And hi Mama!”

‘Mama Eri’… well, it seems that they got along pretty fast.

I had been sure to tell Aria about her eventual third mom, but there was only so much you could do to explain to a child about someone they had never met.

But I guess my worries were for nothing.

“Hello Aria. Were you good for Sylphy?” Roxy said with a soft smile.

“The best!” she returned, manoeuvring herself to get on my shoulders.

With Sylphy coming out of the living room, she gave me a small kiss before looking between Ariel and me.

“Did anything happen?” she asked, worry evident in her voice.

I guess she still wasn’t completely used to leaving the safety of her dear friend to others, even if I was much stronger than her.

“No. Just a regular, boring day,” I said. “Anyway… now that Eri is here, I want to have our marriage ceremony right away. Is that fine with you?”

“Of course! Though… I do wish I was a bit thinner,” Sylphy said, looking down to her belly with a difficult smile.

“You’re beautiful,” I said, kissing her forehead. “And it’s a good thing the dress I got you is loose, right?”

“That’s not something you’re supposed to say, Leon,” she said, pouting at me before it turned into a smile. “But yes, I suppose it is a good thing. Now, princess… do you need anything?”

Ariel shook her head as she hung her coat on the nearby hook.

“No. I think it will be an early night for me,” she said. “Even with Leon’s aid, the combined magic class is really quite difficult.”

Well, in her defence, even I would suck at that class.

After all, they didn’t really know what they were talking about in those classes, simply describing what spells did to each other and the produced phenomena without explaining why.

“I see… then, Leon, do you mind taking care of Aria for a bit?” Sylphy said, smiling at me.

“No, I don’t. But… can I ask why?” I asked.

“Well… now that Eris is here…” Sylphy started to explain.

Ah, I see.

With three of them now, it was only natural that they had a talk with each other.

Especially since Roxy had absolutely no connection with Eris, unlike Sylphy did.

Not to mention the upcoming marriage…

“We just need to have a talk,” Roxy said, nodding at me. “Just… some girl stuff.”

“I’ll… leave you girls to it, then,” I said, walking over to the stairs. “And how about you, sweet daughter of mine? Do you want to play with Dada here?”

“Magic!” she exclaimed, pulling my hair like the reins of a horse. “Show magic, Dada!”

I guess I would be showing her some magic.

And as for those three… well, I think I could trust them to work it all out.

After all, not only did Sylphy and Roxy become fast friends, but Sylphy was already close with Eris, and further than that, despite my selfishness… we all wanted the same thing.

A beautiful, big, loving family.

So I would trust them to figure it out, while I showed by beautiful daughter some magic tricks.

— Roxy Migurdia —

“So… once again, it’s nice to meet you, Eris,” I said, looking to the red-haired girl I had only been told about thus far. “I’ve… heard lots about you.”

With Leon taking Aria upstairs, and Ariel heading up to her room, the three of us soon-to-be wives of the same man found ourselves sitting in the living room, with the fireplace warming us up for the coming conversation.

“Yeah… Leon told me about you too,” Eris said, crossing her legs once again.

She seemed anxious.

Well, to be honest, if I was in the same position, I couldn’t blame her.

And further than that… I was a little anxious too.

With Sylphy turning sixteen, she had grown even more, both on the inside and out, and even with her elven heritage, it was clear to anyway that Sylphiette was a woman.

And a beautiful one at that, with her beauty turning heads each time we walked through the marketplace.

And that wasn’t even mentioning the size of her belly…

Anyway, between the two of us, it was obvious that she looked like the more mature one, even tough I was triple her age.

And then… there was the woman in front of me.

Eris was stunning, that much didn’t need to be said.

With her captivating red hair, striking sharp eyes, and the body which was a mix between toned and curvy that women around the world could only dream of… it was obvious I was feeling a bit self-conscious.

Not to mention the small flame of jealousy that burned within me, knowing that she had taken so many of Leon’s firsts… but then again, I had been his first love, even if it was a bit childish at first.

Still, despite those insecurities, I trusted in Leon’s love for me, so I wasn’t too worried.

Just a bit… motivated, you could say.

After all, while I may be losing in terms of my appearance and immature body, that didn’t mean I would lose out in terms of feelings.

And that… was a part of why we were meeting here and now.

“So… the three of us will soon be married to Leon,” I said, starting the conversation. “Sylphy and I have already talked about it, but we want your input as well, Eris.”

She simply nodded, urging me to continue.

“You see… Leon loves to sleep with us at night… as in, all of us,” I explained.

“I know,” Eris said, her cheeks flushing a bit, barely visible in the glow of the fire. “Sylphy and I… we stayed with Leon during the last few weeks before I left.”

“I see…” I said as my cheeks began to heat up as well. “Then… as for the, uhm… nighttime activities… we usually do separate times whenever we want… though recently it’s been only me for obvious reasons.”

No matter how much I’ve experienced it with Leon and sometimes Sylphy, or talked about it with Elinalise, it was still embarrassing to openly talk about bedroom matters to others.

But even so… I had to bear with it for now.

“Leon is… very giving, in that aspect, so we shouldn’t find ourselves unsatisfied,” I said, clearing my throat. “Anyway, so it’s like that, with both Sylphy and I sleeping with Leon in his room after any activities. Of course, you are also invited to join. So… is this alright with you?”

Eris in response pouted a bit, shifting in her seat, before she eventually answered.

“Well… Leon and I… when we do it… we don’t really stop,” she said as her lips spread into a fond smile. “Actually, I remember our third time together, we ended up doing it until dawn…”

Uhh… wow.

That… was impressive. For both of them.

Now even Sylphy was blushing a bit.

“But… I’ll keep myself under control. Leon… loves you two, after all,” Eris said with some difficulty. “Plus… I’ll be calmer once he puts a baby in me.”

Well… that was certainly something.

Did she really have no shame, or was it because it was us?

“I… well… thank you, Eris,” I said. “But don’t feel the need to hold yourself back too much. Leon says he loves you when you’re yourself.”

Eris’ lips quirked up. “He does, doesn’t he.”

Sylphy, who had been quiet for most of the conversation, then happily clapped her hands together.

“Well, with this, I think we can all get along, right?” she said. “After all, while we’re all a bit different, we all have at least one thing in common, right? So I’m sure it’ll work out.”

Right… we all loved Leon.

And while I wasn’t as eager as these two to make a giant family filled with kids, I did want to create my own place of warmth, and an environment where my daughter, as well as any of my future children, would feel happy and loved.

“Yeah… we do,” I said. “But do you have anything to say, Sylphy? It’s just been me talking to Eris this whole time…”

She simply shook her head. “Nope. I know both of you, and I’m comfortable having a family with you two. It was only you two who needed to be acquainted.”

She was… right.

“Hmm… Eris is new to Sharia, but Leon will still need to guard Ariel tomorrow…” Sylphy said, tapping her chin in thought before smiling. “Ah! How about you show her around, Roxy? You two can get to know each other a bit better, and you can also take her to Philip and Hilda’s so she can see her family. Does that sound nice?”

With her proposal hanging in the air, I turned my head to meet Eris’ eyes as we both nodded.

Yeah… I still wasn’t familiar with Eris Greyrat here, but from the short time I’ve met her, she seemed exactly like the girl that Leon, Sylphy, and Leon’s sisters told me about.

She was strong, determined, protective, and overwhelmingly loving and loyal.

And even though I was initially worried about her fierceness, which Leon said only made her true demeanour even cuter, from how quickly she got along with my daughter, I really didn’t have anything to worry about.

Creating a family with such a person… there was no way I would adamantly refuse.

Even if I was a bit jealous of her figure.
