Leon Greyrat: The Second Son - Mushoku Tensei OC

Chapter 80 - Meeting with Master

— Leon Greyrat —

It was the next day, and after fulfilling our desires the night before, I decided to take care of Eris' hair that had become quite long and messy.

It wasn't from the sex... for the most part... so it was even more important that I finally gave this beautiful hair the care it deserved.

"Thanks for doing this, Leon," Eris said, tilting her head down as I continued my work.

"It's my pleasure, Eri. And I have lots of practice," I said, gently brushing out some knots with my fingers as I cut down its length with wind magic. "You have gorgeous hair, you know? You should take care of it better."

"I know," she huffed. "It's just... I love when you do it... and I don't want someone else to, even if it's me... that's your job, after all."

I paused my movements as I felt my cheeks get a bit warmer.

That... I think my heart just skipped a beat.

From how erotic she was last night, and determined when we woke up to do some training together, I had forgotten how adorable she could be.

But that was just how my Eris was.

A tantalizing collection of states and emotions, and because she had a tough time keeping them down, I got to see all of them for their beauty.

"You're right. It is my job," I said, continuing to clean her up.

After a few minutes, I was able to bring it back to how it was when she left. Her hair long enough to rest just over her shoulder as I tied it into a short ponytail, her pendant resting against her neck.

"There... you look really pretty like this, Eri," I said, handing her an ice mirror.

"Really!?" she said, happily taking the mirror as she looked at her appearance.

"Really," I agreed.

"M-Mhmm... I like it too... and it feels good... doesn't get in my way," she said, turning her head left to right before she looked back at me. "Thank you, Leon. I think I'll just wear it short from now on. I'm not good at this kind of stuff, but I should be able to cut it just fine."

"Alright," I said, leaning in to give her a kiss. "But speaking of that... are you taking care of yourself?"

Her silence was deafening. Not to mention how she averted her eyes.

Well, her sweat and natural musk was something I enjoyed quite a bit, but past that... from how knotted her hair was, and not to mention the untreated scrapes and scratches lining her body, I knew that she had been neglecting her self-care in the way of training.

That was just like my Eris, after all.

"Is there a place to bathe around here?" I asked.

"T-There's a hot spring nearby," she mumbled, still looking away from me. "I don't really go much, though. Only when Nina drags me with her."

"I see..." I said, nodding. "Well, come on. Let's go."

Luckily, she didn't protest, simply taking my hand without a word as she got to her feet.

Well... maybe that sexual frustration she had so eagerly released last night had been making her too stressed to take care of herself.

But either way, I would be here to fix her up anyway.

That was the job of a loving partner and future husband, after all.
