Leon Greyrat: The Second Son - Mushoku Tensei OC

Chapter 43 - Departing Millishion

— Leon Greyrat —

"Happy birthday, you two!"

Giving both Aisha and Norn a big hug, I watched as their surprised faces turned to ones of happiness.

"Thanks, Brother!" Norn cheered, reciprocating my hug.

"So that's why you had Ruijerd take us out... I knew there was something fishy going on!" Aisha said with a pout on her face that quickly turned into a smile.

With us preparing to leave in a couple of days to get back on the long road to the Central Continent, and my sisters' birthdays lining up to be when we were still in the city, I found it important to throw a nice party while we still could.

After all, these two have essentially had their entire childhood stolen from them, so with this... even if our whole family wasn't here... I hope it made them feel a bit better about everything.

The preparation wasn't much, with only me having bought a cake, setting up some decorations, collecting food from various restaurants and stalls for a large feast, and of course the presents, but it was a cozy affair.

Much like Rudy and I's birthday back in Buena Village.

And of course, along with Vierra and Shierra, who Norn and Aisha had grown somewhat close to during our time here, a certain someone came to their daughter's birthday.

Oh, and there was Ruijerd too.

While the man had not initially planned to get a gift, since I knew of the lack of such customs in demon society from Roxy, I had advised him to get a bracelet for each of them yesterday, which he luckily did.

"H-Hey, you two! Do you, uh, want a hug from me too?" my father said with a smile.

Unfortunately, he only got a pair of glares in response.

"...Thought so." He slumped his shoulders in defeat.

Well, the path to forgiveness was a long one, but at least we were fine to be in the same room now.

"Why is he here," Aisha whispered in my ear.

...Maybe not.

"Because he's your dad. Now come on, do you want to eat first, or do presents?" I asked.

Seeing how their eyes lit up at the word 'presents', the answer was already set.

"Alright. Then, these are for you two."

I then handed each of them my first gift, which was a nice new coat for each of them.

"This coat is a bit big, but you'll both grow into them," I said, putting it over Aisha and Norn's shoulders. "I also made sure to get an enchantment that made it temperature regulating, so it will be useful in all types of weather."

With both of them wrapped up in their matching coats, looking down at the soft brown fabric with interest, I couldn't help but smirk at their cuteness.

This might have been as much of a present for me as it was for them.

"Thank you!" they both cheered as they engulfed me in a hug.

"Do you like them?" I asked, patting their backs.

"Of course!" Aisha nodded.

"It's warm~" Norn hummed, burying her head into my shoulder with her hood covering her hair. "And comfy~"

"Well, don't fall asleep just yet," I said, unwrapping my arms from them. "I also got you two something else. So here."

I then took out a wand and a sheathed short sword from behind me, passing them to Aisha and Norn respectively.
