Leon Greyrat: The Second Son - Mushoku Tensei OC

Chapter 70 - Returning Home

— Leon Greyrat —

It had been a month since we left Rapan and successfully rescued my mothers, as well as the beginning of our consequent journey back to Sharia.

Of course, with such a big group, and not to mention the addition of a cart, our pace was much slower compared to when Rudy, Sara, and I crossed the desert.

Like this, we would probably reach Sharia in another two months.

But overall, aside from taking a little longer, it had been a very smooth journey.

After all, Geese was a fantastic cook, so the food was good, and with such a big group, the guard shifts were extremely short and easy.

Plus... with such a successful labyrinth clear, without any deaths and a lot of loot gained, spirits were extremely high. Especially me and my father.

Honestly, the only problem we had was when Lina was unable to find a man to satiate her curse, and that would only get worse during the final stretch towards the teleportation ruin.

For now, she was able to relieve it by bedding passing travellers and going 'man-hunting' whenever we stopped by an oasis, but once we passed the last bastion of civilization and went into the desert, she would have to keep a clear mind.

I would just say she should be with Geese, but she said she didn't want to bed her party members anymore... even though she didn't seem to mind being with Paul back when I was a baby...

But anyway, if she has to, she would rather give in than die, but would try to keep herself in control.

But I was curious... how exactly did her curse work?

The most obvious would be ingesting male fluids, and if that was so, I wouldn't mind... well... donating it.

It would be awkward as hell, sure, but better than the alternative of her dying or caving into her desires when she didn't want to.

Plus, I now had a wonderful blue-haired woman to help me out.

"Mmmgh~"

Hearing a soft groan from my left, I looked down at Roxy, who was currently cuddled against my side, wrapped in the thin bedsheets we were sharing with her hair messily sprawled out over my chest.

I really loved that dishevelled look on her.

It was so different from how she usually looked, all prim and proper, so it was nice to see such a unique side to her that only I was exposed to.

And thinking about the act that had made her like that...

Well, if I didn't have morning wood before, I definitely had it now.

"Mm? Leon... Mornin'," Roxy said, rubbing her tired eyes as she slowly sat up.

"Morning," I said, planting a kiss on her nose.

She smiled a bit, looking up at me with upturned eyes before suddenly flinching, her lips curling into a frown a moment later.

"You... you went a bit hard last night," she mumbled.

"I can't help that a Succubus attacked," I shrugged.

"But you could have detoxified yourself," she said, looking at me with a raised eyebrow.

Guilty as charged...

Indeed, as she had said, our party was attacked by a Succubus last night.

While I wasn't on guard duty, I was quickly awoken by the familiar feeling of arousal, and after killing it and detoxifying my father and Geese from the Succubus' effects, I decided to let Rudy and I... erm... enjoy the experience.
