Leon Greyrat: The Second Son - Mushoku Tensei OC

Chapter 5 - Brother

— Leon Greyrat —

A few months had passed since our arrival in Buena Village, and in that time, we had entered the year K407 of the Armoured Dragon Calendar, which meant that I was now two years old.

Since we had no record of the day I was born, going off by the start of the year was an easy solution.

Anyway, other than getting settled into our new rural lifestyle, not much had changed for our new family.

Well... apart from one thing, that is.

"Young Master Leon, are you sure you don't need anything to eat?"

Our family had grown by one, in the form of our new maid, Lilia.

She was a beautiful woman with violet-purple eyes and reddish-brown hair that she tied up in a half bun with hair strands resting on both of her shoulders, much like Mama's hairstyle.

She also had a slender and voluptuous body and wore oval-shaped glasses and most notably... a maid outfit.

I was a bit worried that she was a little too beautiful, as with her large breasts and pretty face, she was exactly the type of girl that would cause Paul to make a mistake, but I suppose I had to trust in the man until he proved himself untrustworthy.

I just hoped he could keep it in his pants until I was old enough to take care of Mama without him.

Anyway, Lilia, while beautiful, was quite cold, at least on the outside, but once you got to know her, she opened up a bit.

Especially with me.

Though that might just be due to my childish charms.

"I'm fine, Lilia! And didn't I tell you to just call me Leon? We're living in the same house after all," I said while kicking my feet in the air.

I was currently lying down on the bed and going through one of the books Mama and Paul had gotten.

Specifically, Wandering the World, a reference guide to the various countries and places in the world.

This was a good way to increase my reading comprehension while also expanding my worldview, and most importantly, it was fun to read.

After all, while I had adventured with the Fangs of the Black Wolf for a year, we only travelled around the southern region of the Kingdom of Asura, where I just so happened to be born.

And even then, I was asleep most of the time, so I didn't learn much about what was happening around me.

"I am but a maid, Young Master Leon. It would be presumptuous to forgo my manners," she said, shaking her head.

"Yeah, but we aren't like those petty nobles, you know? Plus, you're not just a maid. At least not to me. We're probably going to be together for a while, so we're more like family, right?" I responded with a smile.

If anyone knew that blood didn't need to be shared to be considered family, it was me.

"...I suppose so. You're a good child, Leon," she said as she started affectionately rubbing my head.

Closing my eyes at the pleasant feeling, I then felt the pressure of her hand increase a bit.

"Make sure you don't turn out like your father."

"I-I got it, Lilia! I'll never turn out like that guy!" I whined.

"Good," she said, nodding.

"Fufufu! You two sure get along, don't you?" Mama laughed.
