Dungeon Overlord: Monster Girl Harem!-Chapter 48: Under the stars

Leonhardt escorted Asuka like a princess, her hand wrapped around his arm as he enjoyed her comfortable weight leaning on him.

'She's stopped avoiding me, at least.'

Because the other girls learned about their evening activities, she became embarrassed and avoided him during the day. Instead, she followed him in secret, or watched him out of the corner of her eyes, refusing to talk to him.

"What's for dinner tonight, Leon?" Her sweet voice echoed with a pleased hum.

"Well, that's a secret, is there anything you want?"

Leon pulled her closer, whispering into her ear, curling his lips into a smirk as her cheeks turned red.

"You," Asuka replied, wrapping her arms around his neck. "All of you." her sudden assertiveness surprised him as her lips curled up slightly, revealing her pearly white teeth.

She pressed her face close to his, almost kissing him, which made his heart flutter. "It doesn't matter what we eat," she said, with a hushed, husky purr.

"Erina, tonight we're going to drink well!" Asuka broke away, calling out to Erina, while gazing back with a tantalising smile.

Leonhardt couldn't help but stand on the spot, touching his warm cheek, the sensation of her sweet breath lingering. Asuka got one over on him for the first time.

'Well, this is quite interesting.'

He stepped towards their small fire. Because the guards and other merchants always became rowdy during meals, Erina and Sylvie prepared their campfire and cooked a separate meal to avoid danger.

"If I could spend a night with that priestess…"

"I'd rail her until she worshipped my cock, not the goddess!" A vulgar voice mixed in.

"That tiny elf so bad. I want to see her kneeling between my legs sucking me off." Another man joked, making kissing sounds.

It seemed like they didn't see Leon's presence since he walked behind them from the front. They continued speaking as usual about having their way with Sylvie and Erina, not minding whether the girls heard them.

"These damned barbarians!" Sylvie groaned, her eyes shining with mana as she almost cast a spell.

"Woah, calm down." Leon pushed a soft fruit into her mouth, the juicy and sweet flavours seeming to calm her down, as she gazed up at him and sucked on the fruit.

'Ah, these sounds are quite.'

Her tongue flicked up and down the flesh of the fruit before she put it into her mouth with a 'slurp.' However, the sounds attracted the men to jeer, until she took the phallus-shaped fruit and then chewed and swallowed it before biting once more.

A certain shared pain flowed through the men, as the small mouth of Sylvie chomped on the fruit without mercy.

Sylvie licked her lips seductively. Though she didn't have a clue about what she was doing because she just enjoyed the fruit, it seemed to have a more intense taste for elves.

"Sylvie, don't eat more, those are for our dinner!" Erina scolded, her cheeks slightly pink, before adding oil to the black pot dangling over the fire. "Leon, do we have enough meat left?"

"Here, there shouldn't be an issue, I can hunt if we need more."

Leon sat beside her as the four thick, meaty steaks dropped onto the metal plate. The two worked harmoniously, like partners cooking side by side. Erina reached out and grabbed a handful of vegetables to chop, while Leon seasoned and prepared the meat and fruits.

Asuka who could burn water, sat with a sullen face.

When she gazed up at Erina and Leon speaking happily, a tight sensation grew in her chest that made her want to destroy the pot, and beat Erina.

"Damn it…"

Not long after, the meal was served. A thick steak with a sweet and sharp seasoning with a hearty reduced sauce from the fruit and wine giving a slight tarty taste.

There were some minor issues during the meal. Of course, the guards couldn't leave the delicious food or beautiful women alone.

But their actions earlier raised Erina and Sylvie's guards to the maximum.

Leon leaned back, his lips slightly glossy from the oil and sauce, while he listened to Erina, Sylvie and Asuka chatting among themselves, until the topic came to the night.

"So, why do you and Leon keep leaving the carriage at night?" A simple and innocent question, with no judgment, but Erina's eyes narrowed like a hawk seeking her prey.

Sylvie nodded along eagerly. "That's right. We should be worried about your safety!"

"Hehe… T-That is…" Asuka let out a nervous laugh, unable to answer.

"Well, last night you didn't even leave, and did that—" Sylvie stopped talking because Asuka covered her mouth quickly.

"Oh, look how late it is… Should we get ready to sleep?" Asuka interrupted, changing the topic to try to avoid the inevitable questioning.

However, Erina's lips curled into a devilish smile, knowing she already won.

"The night is still young, Asuka. Or do you want to sneak away and do sinful things again? If you aren't ashamed of it, then just tell us?"

Erina and Sylvie gazed at each other as if sharing the same mind.

"Hm? What are you two speaking about now?" Leonhardt finished washing the pots, settling beside Asuka as he naturally grabbed her jug of alcohol and took a swig, causing the dragonoid's scales to darken even more, now a blood-red shade.

"Ah?"

"That's…"

Asuka's face beet-red, she grabbed a bottle of the expensive elven wine Papillon and drank half the bottle, her eyes closed tight.

"Asuka, be careful!" Erina scolded, while Sylvie looked envious, grabbing the second bottle and hiding it behind her, she had learned not to take any chances since Asuka and Leon often tried to steal her liquor when drinking together.

'Smart little elf!'

The meal soon ended, and the campfire became less crowded. Sylvie rubbed her eyes and Erina prayed to the goddess, wishing for a safe journey and evening.

Leon read through the things Zafira did while he ate.

How she worked so hard fighting and making the alpha wolf in the south aggrieved made him impressed, before a rough hand grabbed his shoulder, followed by a gentle, expectant hum.

"Leon… could you, spare some time for me later?"

Asuka's tail swayed low, swishing along the ground, while her face looked down, her scales deep red, showing her embarrassment and excitement.

Leon sighed, shaking his head, his eyes gleaming with mana, noticing something different about the twinkle in her gaze, and so he curled his lips into a comforting smile and responded.

"When?"

Asuka's sweet breath tickled his ear as she whispered in her silky smooth voice.

"After the others sleep, come to the south of the forest, okay?" The corners of her mouth curled up as she grinned before moving to settle in the carriage and climbing inside.

Leon watched her leave, his mind filled with complex emotions swirling around like a whirlpool.

'What is this girl planning now?' He wondered, pulling off his shirt to change into a thin silk shirt, feeling the cool air against his skin.

Eventually, Sylvie and Erina came to bid farewell before they settled on their sleeping bags.

Thereafter, the camp quietened down. While some guards patrolled, Leon waited for enough time to pass before he carefully went south, leaving the forest behind, and hearing insects chirping.

He pushed through the underbrush with the crack of branches and snap of twigs, following the trail deeper and deeper into the dark wilderness.

The thick treeline faded and opened up in front of a vast, grassy field, blanketed by the starlit sky above and below, a lake, with a clean surface that reflected this beauty.

"Y-You came?"

Asuka stood under the argent moonlight, her seductive figure wrapped in her evening robes, lighter and almost see-through, while she held a massive jug of alcohol, and her amber eyes shimmered in the darkness.

"Will you come sit beside me?" She asked with a shaky, warm murmur, her body sitting on a fallen tree, the wooden trunk the perfect height.

"If you would allow it," he replied, sitting next to her.

The breeze tickled Leonhardt's nose with Asuka's alluring scent, her heat, sweat, and natural scent mixing, almost intoxicating him.

"Have a drink," The jug swished, as the thick scent of Dragonoid alcohol spread through the air, "You know, my village is quite strict." Leon felt slightly confused at such a statement before she passed him the jug.

"We are told about the dangers of the world, trained in a way that could horrify most humans. I've experienced much pain in my brief life."

Her eyes glazed over like reliving the past, her throat tightening. "To be honest. This journey isn't exactly dangerous to me, but to Erina and Sylvie, they could die in the blink of an eye."

'I agree, but to me, you are the same.' Leon thought while sipping the slightly bitter ale.

"Will you listen to me, about my family and… our rules?" Her glistening wet eyes looked bigger than usual as she leaned against Leon's arm, a faint yet empty smile on her lips.

"If you want to speak, I'll always listen, just don't hurt yourself, I am here."

His words seemed to hit home as she smiled warmly, sniffing before her hand wrapped around his.

"Then…"
