Leon Greyrat: The Second Son - Mushoku Tensei OC

Chapter 74 - A New Home

— Leon Greyrat —

Three weeks had passed since buying my new home and the ensuing moving doll fiasco.

With many craftsmen working on the house, which Rudy and I assisted with our magic wherever we could, and some basic furniture being purchased, the renovations for our new home were now finally complete.

So that meant everyone in my family was now settled... and as such, I planned on leaving tomorrow to take care of a few things before the birth of my child, as I didn't want to leave Roxy alone for the birth, nor for caring for our beautiful baby afterwards.

After all, I planned to be a very doting father, and hopefully my time spent looking after my sisters would help me out.

Anyway, despite leaving tomorrow, there was still something that needed to be done.

"So... what do you two think?" I asked, pulling Sylphy and Roxy close to me.

A house tour, of course!

"I-It's... wonderful!" Sylphy exclaimed.

"Truly..." Roxy added, a touch of wonder in her voice. "But... isn't it a bit big?"

"Well, we're planning for a big family, right?" I said, giving both of my beauties a kiss on the forehead. "And it has a big yard, but let's see the inside first."

What was previously a dilapidated exterior, with vines and grime climbing up the walls and hanging over the roof, was now clean, with pristine stone walls, a clean brown roof, and intact windows.

Oh, and the front door I had broken had been replaced.

That was probably important.

"It even has a front porch..." Roxy said, tracing her hand across the railings before she nodded in appreciation. "I could definitely see myself enjoying a book out here. Well done, Leon."

A gentle kiss accompanied her praise, making me smile even wider.

Indeed, with the porch having enough room for a chair, and a beautiful view of the magic city as the scenery, it was truly a great feature to the house.

And the best thing was that we didn't really have to do anything to it, as it was already in great condition when I bought the place.

We then walked through the entrance, revealing the same staircase, but this time all clean, with the previously rotting wooden floorboards replaced with new ones, and the plaster that had been deteriorating now resurfaced.

What before looked like a haunted mansion now looked like an actual home.

Our home.

"The place is mirrored, or... at least it was..." I said, leading them to the room to the immediate right. "Everything is subject to change, of course, but this one is the dining room for the moment."

It was quite simple, with only one big table with a bunch of chairs, and a big cabinet for tableware.

There was also a second, smaller table near the turret and the fireplace, which is what we would likely be using for the foreseeable future.

The main table was a bit big for three people, after all, but it would be good for when our family grew, and at the moment, it was good for hosting guests.

"And then over here is the living room," I said, taking them to the mirrored large room to the left. "I'll leave the furniture to you two, but for now, a couch should be good for us."

As I had said, there was only a single couch and a small table, but there would definitely be more decorations and furniture pieces as we settled in.

"No, it's... wonderful," Roxy said, her eyes shining as she saw the fireplace near the window. "While right now it's a little... empty, I can definitely see this being an extremely cozy place."
