— Leon Greyrat —

A few months had passed since Roxy, Ariel, and I went on our little adventure to the Demon Continent, and luckily, nothing had gone wrong during our time away, as well as the month after returning.

As it turned out, it seemed that my daughter had inherited the Migurd tribe's unique ability to use telepathy amongst themselves, which was definitely a shock.

She was only three, so obviously I wasn't able to know everything about what it felt like from her childish explanations, but according to Roxy's parents, it's a mix of language and feeling being transferred between different Migurd's heads.

What did this mean?

Well, it meant that even though Aria didn't really know the Demon God tongue, she was still able to make some friends during our week spent there, and luckily, the ability was instinctual, so there was no need for her to train it.

Now that we were back home, it would probably not get any use for the rest of her life, but then again, she would be welcomed in that village if she ever wished to visit, and perhaps she would share a special connection with her sibling once Roxy gave birth again.

Anyway, after that shocking discovery, the five of us sat down as Roxy and I explained her life since leaving home up to when she returned, with Aria taking the boring talk between grown-ups as an opportunity to get acquainted with her grandparents.

It was a nice talk, as I got to learn a few bits about Roxy I hadn't before about her adventure after leaving home, and I got to learn even more about the child Roxy from her parents, though my wife was quite embarrassed about some stories.

Anyway, as the talk came to rescuing my mothers from the Begaritt Continent, it was then that we revealed the true nature of our family. That being the fact that I had taken three wives, with a fourth on the way.

Well, suffice it to say, I got a slap from Rowin, and since it was both deserved and quite weak, I didn't put up a resistance.

I did, however, promise those two that I would make their daughter happy, which they accepted, especially after hearing how pleased Roxy seemed with her new life.

Anyway, after our week spent getting familiar with each other, it was then time to go, as we couldn't stay all the way in the Demon Continent forever.

Roxy's parents both told us to visit again, but with Laplace and the Man-God making things difficult, unfortunately, I likely wouldn't get the chance for another five years, if we were lucky.

They waved off my concern pretty easily, however, telling me that even in thirty years would be fine.

That's the power of longevity, I suppose.

But yes, it was a peaceful trip, and in the month preceding it, nothing big really happened.

Ah... well, that wasn't quite right.

There was one event that had happened.

And quite a significant one at that.

"Agh!"

Looking down at the bundled-up baby in my arms, I smirked as I slowly rocked in the chair, the movement seemingly calming down my new baby boy before he could break into a set of cries.

Nearly exactly a month after we returned, on the seventh month of the year K424, Eris had given birth, granting us the miracle of one Ars Greyrat, the first son of the household.

I suppose Eris' predictions were correct in saying she would give me a boy.

Not that it mattered, though.
