Leon Greyrat: The Second Son - Mushoku Tensei OC

Chapter 89 - Demon King Badigadi

— Leon Greyrat —

Three months had passed since Rudy became a father, and in this time, my family had also been growing.

Not in that way, of course, but rather that things were developing as time passed, most notably with Sylphy and Aria.

Sylphy now had a visible baby bump, and as she got further along in her pregnancy, was now leaving all of her guarding duties to me as she became a stay-at-home mother, for the moment.

Of course, this also meant that she was no longer included in our late night activities, but I was more than satisfied with my Roxy, especially since Aria was now sleeping in her own room, giving us some much-appreciated privacy.

And that Aria... she could walk now, which meant that her curious and excitable personality had been given another avenue to explore. One that she used to her full advantage.

It was cute, that's for sure, watching her toddle around on her little legs... but even I couldn't help but lament when she interrupted Roxy and I's activities with her late-night explorations.

But still... I could never be mad at her.

After all, that goofy smile and those wide brown eyes lit up my life differently than my wives and family did, and never failed to make me happier.

Children truly were amazing.

Anyway, getting back to the present.

I had just finished my swordsmanship class, and after a quick lunch with Rudy and his friends, I was now making my way back home.

Julie had also joined us, as she usually stuck to Zanoba's side, and... I was happy to say that she was doing well.

She was now able to speak some basic sentences in the Human tongue, perform basic earth spells without a chant, and most importantly, had a wide smile on her face.

It seemed that Zanoba and Ginger, true to their word, were taking proper care of her, which was nice to see, and Rudy was also taking his tutoring pretty seriously, though of course little Lana was at the forefront of his mind.

So, with my belly full, and my heart racing in anticipation to see Sylphy and Aria, I opened the doors of the cafeteria, giving me a clear view of the courtyard.

Usually, this sight had multiple students going about their days, walking across the ground, which was either blanketed in snow or covered in green grass, as they either went to their next classes or made their way home.

There was still grass, and there were still a few students, so that was normal.

But what was not normal, was the sight of a giant demon with six extremely muscular arms and dark purple skin, his middle set of arms crossed over his chest with his face set in a grin.

"You there! Are you Leon Greyrat?" he asked, his voice resounding across the courtyard.

"Uhh... yeah," I said. "Did you... need me?"

What... what was this guy?

I could tell he was strong, and the instant I saw him, I focused more mana into my Demon eye, only to see... nothing.

There was absolutely no mana in his body, and no touki surrounding him... but I knew that was wrong.

After all, while I had been mainly using my Demon eye for a while, I have been able to sense mana and touki before achieving it with my Water God style training.

And this guy... I could tell he had a lot of it.

So why couldn't I see it?

"Hahaha! I see!" the man said, laughing to himself. "I am the Demon King Badigadi! I have come from quite far away to find you, so fight me!"
