— Leon Greyrat —

It was the next morning, and with the two horses prepared, their saddles packed with our supplies for the coming journey, we were ready to depart.

Unfortunately, while the horses would be great for getting to the nearby ruins, because of the sand, the horses would only be useful on the Begaritt Continent as food, so that meant we needed someone to take them back.

Thankfully, Ginger had volunteered to do so without any payment.

Or rather... Zanoba had volunteered her, but... that was beside the point.

As I checked the last of the supplies, ensuring we had enough food to last the expected two-week journey until the first settlement in case we didn't run into any edible monsters, and a collection of spices in case we did, I felt my gaze drifting back to the four people who had come to see us off.

Or rather, to be more specific, my eyes had wandered to Sylphy, who for the moment, had removed her 'Fitz' persona, so I could see her beautiful red eyes.

This morning was also the first time Sylphy and Rudy finally met after many years apart, but that was beside the point.

...I can't believe I went and did it.

I don't even understand... even with those sensual words and actions, I felt that I was able to hold myself back with the thought that once she turned fifteen, I would be able to indulge all I wanted, but... I went and indulged a year and a half early.

I blame my growing libido, and I blame Ariel as well.

At least I kept my sanity enough to cast a contraception spell, so I wouldn't have to worry about any little Sylphys or Leons growing upon my return.

My eyes met hers, causing memories of last night to play through my mind, all the expressions that cute face displayed and the passionate sounds she made...

Well, even if it was a bit premature, I couldn't call such an enjoyable time a mistake.

Though I would try to rein in such actions when I came back.

Besides, while the intense actions of love were great, I was also able to see the cute, innocent Sylphy once again as we cuddled in the afterglow until we fell asleep.

She really was perfect to hug. Like a teddy bear.

Sylphy also seemed to think back to our recent first time, as after staring at each other for a few moments, she quickly looked away, her cheeks flushing as she anxiously toyed with a lock of hair.

...Cute.

But how could such a bashful girl be that incarnation of lust and sexiness from last night?

Moving my gaze over to Ariel, I saw as she finished giggling into her hand, her eyes narrowing at me as she formed a smug smile.

...I knew it. That damn princess definitely had something to do with it.

But I was still a bit confused... ever since Eris' send-off, and even more after last night, Ariel had been glancing at me a lot lately, her cheeks flushing a bit every time.

...Odd.

Was she... excited by such things?

I would say that a princess couldn't be, but... I knew that if it was Ariel, she certainly could.

Rudy, noticing the interaction between Sylphy and me, and likely remembering the previous interactions we shared during the morning as well, narrowed his eyes in suspicion.
