Leo closed the manga and stroked Myu’s hair. Her pouting face melted into bliss.
His daughter recently got addicted to Japanese manga thanks to Eri and Maria. The addiction spread further to Yue and then basically everyone in the household.
Manga is a good way to improve my imagination. No wonder Eri was so eager for me to read them.
It was the morning of the next day after Eri cleaned up the world. She became Level 295. Even that was with the ring bought from Mystery Shop. That was why many people had a hard time leveling up.
Myu turned around with a cute grin and hugged his neck.
“Carry!”
He patted her back and strolled toward the kitchen, greeting the dark elves patrolling? the corridors. Eri had asked some of them to stay here for a reason unknown to him.
“Papa, they look just like the manga we read!”
“Yeah.”
He had borrowed one with an adventure to another world. It was like looking at his own life. Now he couldn't deny when Eri and others called him ‘Harem Protagonist’.
He arrived in the living room where Tio and Maria were glued to the TV, watching some anime.
*Tap* *Tap*
Yue in her mature mode furiously struck the keys of her laptop placed on a kotatsu table. Shizuku and Eri stuck to her side, almost burying their face into the laptop.
Miledi was also there, her face barely visible as she smashed the keys of her own laptop like Yue.
A solemn air was flowing around them. It seems Yue and Miledi were having some competition.
Suddenly, Yue froze and her face twisted in despair.
Eri burst into laughter.
“Haha, take that… even you lost!”
Miledi stood up and with a smug smile, she placed her hands on her hips.
“Miledi-chan is the best player in the world!”
Shizuku patted Yue’s back to console her with a motherly smile. “Yue-san can try again.”
Eri bullying Yue—he was used to this scene by now. Lulu and her daughters were helping the elves settle in the Empire.
Yue turned to Leo and jumped on him, tears bursting from her eyes.
“Beloved…”
He brushed her hair while glaring at Eri, who averted her gaze and whistled.
“I-I…” Miledi went beet red and sat again. “I am sorry…”
Before he asked the reason for her apology, three people entered the room.
“Good morning, master!”
“Good morning, Leo-san!”
“Ara, morning dear. Please take a seat.”
Hearst approached with Shea and Remia carrying the breakfast behind her.
Leo drooled at his favorite pancakes topped with honey. Even Shizuku had a thin line of drool leaking from the corner of her lips.
“Goodeth morning, Goshujin-sama.”
“Morning, Leo!”
Maria was picking up the cheerful manner of Na YuNa. It would be good for their child, thought Leo as he replied to their greeting.
“Morning, husband.”
Irene entered the room. Her droopy eyes spoke volumes of the effort she put in some unknown project. Everyone around Leo had been acting sneaky for some reason.
Are they preparing for a surprise? Hmm, I wonder if I am getting hyped for no reason.
He shrugged and focused on devouring breakfast.
[Attack power increases by 10% for an hour.]
[Agility increases by 5% for two hours.]
These two are getting better.
He wouldn't be surprised if they received the blessing from some random God of cooking.
“Leo, it's my date.” Shizuku glanced at him with upturned eyes and rubbed the ring on her finger. “I want to try my new skills.”
“Oh, wait a moment.”
He used ‘analyze’ on her.
