Leon Greyrat: The Second Son - Mushoku Tensei OC

Chapter 62 - The Begaritt Continent

— Leon Greyrat —

The sun had set, marking the end of our first day on the Begaritt Continent, and the start of our first night.

With a meal of an unlucky desert hare that caught my sight, and some dehydrated veggies mixed in a soup, we quickly set up camp with Rudy creating a dome of earth as our shelter.

I could do the same, of course, but not as concentrated as he could, nor without worry about running out of mana.

Having a talented magician as a younger brother definitely had its perks.

Anyway, with our bellies full, and our camp prepared, the three of us then got ready to sleep for the day, with me heating up some rocks to stave off the cold of the desert night.

Luckily, with a certain barrier spell, as well as my natural instincts, I was confident in being alarmed before a monster could harm us, and even if we got ambushed, Rudy's temporary shelter had the defensive capabilities of a fort.

So, in short, we would be fine not taking night shifts.

"Hey... Leon?" Sara said as she sat up next to the already-snoring Rudy.

"Yeah?" I answered, minding my voice, so I didn't accidentally wake up my brother.

"You... you're good at swordsmanship, right?" she said.

Well... I was at the King rank.

What was she on about?

"I'd like to think so, why?"

"During some of our downtime... or even when we get back to Sharia... could you train me?" she asked. "I know I'm an archer, but if my bow ever breaks, or I run out of arrows, I want a way to defend myself."

"...Got it, we can start tomorrow night," I said.

I was initially going to ask her about me helping her with her archery as well, but I quickly realized that I had absolutely no idea what to do.

I mean... I wasn't an archer, and I had no clue how she was manipulating her touki like that.

Maybe by seeing how her touki moved during her swordsmanship training, I would get an idea of how to help her, and help myself as well.

"Thanks," she said with a smile, visibly relieved. "Most of the teachers at the academy either suck, or expect me to completely follow the path of the sword, so thanks... for agreeing to teach me."

I nodded, giving her a smile as I lay down.

"Anything for my little sister."

"...Can you not call me that?"

"I decline."

And thus, closing my eyes, our first day came to a close in the truest sense.

There were no dreams to be had that night, and instead of being awoken by my natural clock, or the rays of the sun, I was instead awoken by a feeling of pure... desire.

Gaining control of my rapid breathing, I slowly sat up, noticing that Rudy was already blinking the sleep out of his eyes as he looked to his side.

"Sara... let's do it," he whispered, removing the blanket from the two of them.

It was then that I looked down at Sara's revealed sleeping form, her body curling inward as she slowly groaned.

"Rudy...? What's wrong? And what's that scent?" she mumbled with a frown.

"Nothing is wrong, I just... need you," Rudy said, slipping his hand under her shirt.

I watched in amazement, trailing my eyes down Sara's body and taking in the magnificent sight.
