Chapter 19: Welcome back

I could hear the faint pitter-patter sounds followed by a childish voice. "Coming~!"

A maid opened the door together with a little girl. Immediately upon seeing us, she hid behind the maid.

The maid looks at us curiously, evidently surprised to see two eight-year-old knocking on the door of a noble's estate.

"Ahem, nice to meet you. My name is Arthur Leywin and here is my brother Meliodas Leywin. I was informed that our family is currently residing in this manor. Do you mind if we speak to them?" Art gave a slight bow, making Sylvie jump on my shoulder.

Before the confused maid could even respond, I heard an all too familiar sound in the background.

"Eleanor Leywin! There you are! You have got to stop running to the front door every time someone..." My mother stopped mid sentence and dropped a small bowl of what looked to be food for... my sister.

I look down to see the girl with dazzling brown eyes, looking at me then Arthur with innocent curiosity. Her light ash brown hair shimmered with a much prettier quality than Father's but I knew who she had gotten the color from. Her hair was tied into two pigtails on the side of her head above her ears.

I struggled to peel my eyes away from my little sister and turned to face my mother. My vision going blurry as tears filled my eyes, I said one thing I knew she was waiting to hear.

"Mom we are back!" I waved my hand as a greeting with a smile as tears fell on my cheeks before I could realise it.

"H-hi Mom. We're home." Art gestured a small, awkward wave.

She raced towards us at a speed I swear was faster than Grandpa Virion's, but that might've just been because of my blurry vision.

"Oh my babies! Arthur!! Meliodas!!" She arrived in front of us and collapsed on her knees, her arms around both our waists, gripping with all her strength, afraid that we might disappear again if she let go.

"You are alive! The Voice... I knew it was you! *sniff* You're back now! Yes, you're home now. My babies!" That was all she managed to sputter out before breaking down into a bawl.

Art kept repeating in half gurgled sentences that we were alive and that we were home, that we weren't leaving while I patted her back with a rain of tears coming out of my eyes with a warm happy smile. My mother was a flurry of emotions. She was happy that we were back and alive.

At one point, Eleanor walked to us and started patting Mother's back. "Mama. There, there. Don't cry." But after unsuccessfully comforting her, she began crying as well.

"Meliodas! Arthur!" I turned my head, face still wet with tears to see outside the sprinting figure of my father drenched in sweat. I guess the maid had told him we were back.

He didn't stop as he reached us and simply slid on his knee, hugging all of us as we all almost toppled over. All he needed to say was 'GOAAAL!'

"Arthur! Meliodas! My sons! Look how big you are. Oh my God! You're back, you're back!" My father was cupping my head in his hands to get a better look at my face, switching his gaze between me and Art every few seconds.

He broke down while placing his large hand on the back of my head, bringing my forehead to touch his alongside Art who was on his other hand.

Eventually after a long happy regrouping, we had all managed to settle down. After a while he lifted me up from my armpits in the air looking at me with a happy and proud smile.

We were sitting on a couch, my mother right beside me with Eleanor on her lap and Arthur was in the other side next to her as well. Father was sitting on a chair he pulled up, facing us, his elbows on his knee as he leaned forward.

"Are you okay now? Did you at least eat three meals a day? You slept while dressing warmly everyday right? Oh my babies. Look how big you are now." Tears escaped her eyes as she squinted and smiled.

Eleanor was looking curiously at Sylvie and Amaya playing and grappling on the table. After a while, while the baby dragon and baby snake dragon were sitting up attentively observing the three unfamiliar humans.

My father was looking at them with a curious expression but he didn't mention or ask about them. Turning his gaze to us, his eyes softened and he kept shaking his head, repeating how big we were now.

It must be a pretty fulfilling yet miserable feeling for a parent to see how big his sons had gotten but not being there with him the whole time to witness it.

"Ellie, say hi to your big brothers. They were away for awhile but they'll live together with us from now on. Come on, say 'hello'." My mother gently urged my sister.

"Brothers?" She tilted her head cupped her hands over mom's ear and whispered something inaudible.

"Haha yes, those big brothers. The ones I always told stories about."

My sister's eyes started sparkling as she looked back to us.

"Hai Brothers~!" She beamed, waving both of her little hands at me.

Hearing her cute voice I couldn't resist anymore as I went on my knee and kissed her chubby fat cheeks and hugged her, "Hi Eleanor, I was waiting all this time to meet you" I smiled at her warmly.

"Hello Eleanor. It's nice to meet you... sister." Arthur laughed, patting her head in response. I lifted her up and placed her on my lap kissing her every 20 seconds. That is just how cute she is irresistible, a very dangerous technique indeed.

Father spoke up now. "Boys, we were devastated after that incident, and we barely believed it when you communicated to us through our heads. Tell me, how'd you survive the fall?"

We explained everything, of course mixing some lies with the truths. Some things are better to be kept secrets, especially when it comes to your parents, I would rather tell Virion than to tell them.

This does not mean that I dont trust them, not at all. Its just that some informations are big responsabilities and can get them into dangerous situation, especially the Sylvia secret and that monster that appeared out of nowhere.

"You said something about an illness. What was all that? Are you cured now?"

"Dont worry mom, there was a sort of instability in our mana core since we awakened too early that made it so we had episodes of pain. It was really bad at first but luckily there was an elder that knew how to cure it. The process was slow but he assured us it wasn't threatening if treated consistently." Arthur exlained to her while I gave Eleanor a chocolate I bought with Art while visiting the place.

Relief replaced the prior look of worry and she silently patted our heads again, pulling us towards her stucking our heads inside her breasts.

*Sigh* With a depresed sigh I though.

'When is Elizabeth going to have boobs like those to play with them, I can't wait.'

"Dad. What color is your mana core now?" Art asked while Sylvie made her place back on the top of his head, tail swishing in content.

A confident grin emerged from his face as my father proudly replies, "Your old man broke through from the light red stage a couple years back and is a dark orange mage."

He then asked him, leaning closer, "I bet you only asked me so you could brag yourself. Let's hear it, what stage are you at now?"

Scratching his cheek, Art mumbled, "...light red."
