Leon Greyrat: The Second Son - Mushoku Tensei OC

Chapter 92 - Mad Wolf's Return

— Leon Greyrat —

It was the day after Oldeus' surprise appearance, and after spending the entire morning in bed with my lovely Roxy and Sylphy, as well as an eventual surprise visit from Aria, I felt most of my fatigue vanish thanks to their comforting presences.

So, after a filling lunch, just like I had planned that morning, I picked up my brother at his house before heading over to Shizuka's place.

"So... you want to meet Orsted?" Shizuka asked, confused. "Didn't you say you wanted nothing to do with him? After he... well, you know."

I definitely knew.

The scar on my chest and back made sure of that.

"Yeah, but... the situation has changed," I said. "So? Do you know where he is?"

While Oldeus had said that she knew, that was mostly just his speculation.

I really hoped she did, because if not... it would be extremely troublesome.

Especially since I couldn't just leave to search for him across the world with the threat of my family still being very real.

"Not exactly... he is a very mysterious man, and he's not one to waste his time," she said. "Why do you want to see him anyway? I'm pretty sure he isn't planning on hunting you down, if that's what you're worried about."

"I just want to meet him," I said. "But... do you truly not know? Not even a hint?"

Shit... this would get really annoying if so.

Shizuka looked at me, narrowing her eyes for a few silent moments before she sighed.

"No. I have no clue where he is," she said as I deflated in sadness. "But... I do have a way to contact him."

I perked back up quite quickly at that.

"Really?" I asked, eyes widening. "Then... can you?"

She nodded her head. "Consider it payment for all the help you've given me, as well as for letting me use your bath. Now, as for how long-"

"Shizuka," Rudy suddenly said, interrupting her. "You... well..."

He then turned to the side to look at me, giving me a difficult expression before turning back to the girl.

What was that all about?

"Kare ga kuru made dore kurai kakarimasu ka?" he asked.

That unfamiliar language... what the hell were they talking about now?

Was it about that odd name Oldeus mentioned?

Kitamura Ryousuke or something?

Still... did they have to leave me out like this?

Shizuka looked at Rudy in confusion before turning to me, her eyes darting between us a few times before responding.

"...Wakaranai. Kare ga ten'i iseki ni dore dake chikai ka ni yotte kotonarimasuga, sū-shūkan-teido kakaru to kangae raremasu," she said, in that same foreign language they shared.

Was it really something so serious and secretive?

"Naruhodo." Rudy nodded before he bowed his head to Shizuka. "Soredewa, kare ni renraku suru made ni sū-kagetsu matte itadakemasu ka? Onegaishimasu."

She looked at him for a few moments in confusion before eventually nodding her head and looking back to me.

"It... will take a few months for him to come," she said, looking back to Rudy. "Is that acceptable?"
