Leon Greyrat: The Second Son - Mushoku Tensei OC

Chapter 90 - Another Turning Point

— Leon Greyrat —

Looking down at the blank pages before me, I tapped my quill against my chin in thought as I contemplated what to write.

How did I want to do this... and how did I want to organize it?

While I said I wanted to leave this for my children to see once they were older, I didn't exactly want them to read the exploits me and their mothers did at night as well.

Maybe some separate ones for their development?

And then there was the stuff about my abilities and experiments... that should be separated too, right?

Hmm... well, for now, I would leave it at something simple for now and simply give a set time for the start of the diary.

I could easily remove pages if I wanted to, after all.

And so, dipping the tip of the quill into my bottle of ink, I began my first entry.

'It is the seventh month of the year K423, and it will soon be the end of the school year at the University of Ranoa. This also meant that Sylphy will soon be sixteen. Ah, and I, Leon Greyrat, am eighteen, for your information.'

Right... I guess that was a good start.

I guess I'll start by going through the four special girls in my life.

'Sylphy is nearing her third trimester, and her belly is clearly showing it. Each time we sat together, I felt my hands drifting down to her stomach, feeling my soon-to-be child growing inside of her filled my with a sense of warmth that was unexplainable. It really was amazing.'

'Even though I had gone through this before, I was just as excited as I had been for Aria, but I was able to hide it better since I didn't feel nearly as nervous. After all, I now had some experience with my first child, and I also didn't need to go on any trips right beforehand.'

'While it was sometimes considered a taboo to name your child before their birth, considering I wasn't going anywhere before it happened, I had already decided on the names. Sylphy had said she would leave it in my hands, and while I was initially hesitant, I decided to chose something that I think she would appreciate.'

'So, my second child, if you are reading this, you will be named Anna if you're a girl, and Laws if you're a boy, after your late grandparents. After bringing up the idea to Sylphy, she agreed happily, thanking me with tears as I hugged her, even though it was nothing special. After all, giving birth to my lovely fairy was something that should be honoured, and this was an easy way to pay them back.'

Smiling at the memory of her sweet smile as she looked down at her belly, gently whispering the possible names, I dipped my quill into the ink once again before continuing.

'Now onto Aria, my most beautiful daughter... ignoring the fact she was my only daughter at the moment. The newest developments of my active, energetic little girl was that she could now draw and run, which was quite the combination for causing trouble. If you're reading this, you little troublemaker, you made your mother pretty angry at me when I let you roam free with some chalk. You're lucky that water magic is good at cleaning wood floors.'

Remembering how hard she laughed when I chased her around that day, I felt a chuckle threaten to escape me.

Really... what a troublemaker.

But I loved her so much.

Ah... I should probably add that, right?

'Aria... I know that in the future that I will tell you lots of times, but you probably don't understand right now... but I love you. I love you more than anything in the world. So no matter what, never forget that.'
