Leon Greyrat: The Second Son - Mushoku Tensei OC

Chapter 26 - A New Land

— Leon Greyrat —

It was the year K417 of the Armoured Dragon Calendar, and instead of finding myself in the peaceful countryside of the Fittoa Region, like I would expect, I found myself in the Demon Continent.

At least... that's where I assumed I was.

This on its own would be a... predicament, to say the least, but right now...

I wasn't alone.

And that... wasn't a good thing.

"T-The Demon Continent? B-But... how!? We were just on the hill a moment ago before that crazy guy attacked us!" Eris shouted, looking around frantically at the surroundings.

Feeling Aisha and Norn tighten their grip on my shirt, I gently rubbed their heads in an attempt to calm their nerves... and also my own.

"Yeah... this scenery is familiar with what my teacher Roxy told me about her homeland," I said. "And as for how we got here... I think... we were teleported."

Okay, deep breaths.

We're in quite a dilemma, but that didn't mean there was no way out of this.

I had to calm down, be their rock, and figure something out.

"T-That's... really bad, isn't it?" Eris stammered out.

Yes... quite bad.

But I didn't want to vocalize it.

After all, stress would only make this more difficult of a situation, and there was no need for the other three to worry.

So I lied.

"No. It'll be fine. I promise," I said confidently.

Okay, let's think about this, Leon.

While you definitely weren't expecting a situation like this, you've been growing stronger to protect your family in front of anything, right?

So let's go over everything.

I was a dual Water and Sword Saint, while also being able to cast every magic without an incantation, save for summoning magic.

I could create water with magic, create a shelter with earth magic, and create a source of heat with fire magic, so the basics of survival were covered.

But there were two... or rather, three issues.

Food, safety, and knowledge.

I knew the basics of the Demon Continent, as well as the language, from Roxy's nighttime lessons, but I had absolutely no clue as to where we were, nor what monsters roamed around here.

And that led to the second issue... safety.

I was confident in being able to survive in this land on my own, but that was just the thing... I wasn't alone.

Eris was probably strong enough to at least survive against most monsters, as long as I could prevent any surprise attacks...

But my sisters? Who weren't even four years old yet?

No... I was not as confident about that.

But... I would try my best. I would have to.

If I had to watch them- no... that won't happen.

I would die before I let anything hurt them, much less kill them.

But... sleep would be a problem.

Maybe I could create a barrier for that?
