Lord Summoner's Freedom Philosophy: Grimoire of Love

"Ah. I returned," Lyan uttered as he saw the ceilings of his wagon and realized that he had returned from the world of memories of Lilith.

"I guess I didn't get the fatigue accumulated on the fight in that world, I feel rather refreshed instead," (Lyan)

Inside the tournament's first round, Lyan ended up getting too excited with the battle to the point that he had forgotten the flow of time. Right at the moment after he knocked out the last opponent and the announcer was about to announce the end of the first round, a prompt voice appeared inside his head, telling him that the duration stay inside

I guess it's time to start the day-" Lyan opened the curtain of the wagon and stopped in his tracks when he saw the scene outside.

"I-It's still dark... I forgot that the 4 hours duration in the world of memories is nothing but mere seconds here... Now, what should I do- him?" (Lyan)

Suddenly, Lyan sensed several presences approaching with the speed of a running horse. They don't seem to be trying to hide their presence, but most importantly-

(Presences? But the shadow servants are ignoring them without engaging them in battle...) (Lyan)

Realizing that the shadow servants and Hobu didn't attack them, it could only mean one thing.

"Allies, huh? As expected, it's you, the valkyries, huh?" Lyan uttered with a sigh as he put back his glaive when he saw the three girls riding on top of their horses.

"It's been a while, master," Surena greeted him as she skillfully jump off her horse.

"Don't call me master. And what are you guys doing here anyway? Aren't you supposed to be continuing your journey to search for your former master? You've got enough funds from the goblin king subjugation to search for several years anyway, right?" Lyan asked them as he sits near the campfire.

"We are searching for her, it's just that we happen to be going towards the same route," Alice takes a sit right beside Lyan while taking out an apple from her leather bag and biting it.

"The same route? To the winter region?" (Lyan)

"No, Lyan. Since the incident in our kingdom, we completely make a distance from the Astellia Kingdom. But after we discussed it with each other about it, we haven't really searched for her inside the Astellia kingdom because of it. So we're planning on searching through the Astellia Kingdom," (Surena)

"And we remember that you're going for a journey towards the cold north, so we thought 'Why don't we just travel together until we reached the Astellia Kingdom' or something? And we ended up hurrying here," (Emilia)

"I see..." (Lyan)

After the goblin king subjugation incident, the Valkyries somehow made a Mana Oath to Lyan and became contracted to him. Not just contracted, but they even got themselves inserted in the summoning grimoire.

"We thought that it will be too lonely for the poor master to have a journey by himself, he even left his girls back in the city, after all. So we thought that we could accompany and service you along the way, good thinking, right?" Emilia gives a thumb up with a big grin.

"I see. I was thinking of letting out my load at the brothel in the next town. I guess there is no need to waste my money on them then," (Lyan)

"Y-You didn't even flinch... Eh?" (Emilia)

Realizing that Lyan is staring at the valkyrie crest on her, Emilia realized that after the mana oath, she wouldn't be able to defy Lyan's words as her master.

"W-Well, I don't mind if you actually do so though? B-But so suddenly is..." (Emilia)

"What are you acting so flustered for? Aren't you the one who brings up that topic in the first place?" Alice snorted.

"A-Alice! Whose comrade are you!?" (Emilia)

"I'm your comrade, but I'm his servant at the same time. I wouldn't be able to betray my master, aren't I? In the first place, he's your master too, right?" Alice uttered indifferently.

"S-she's right... But at least... At least, I want to experience love too... It's unfair that Rena was the only one who got to experience it... In the first place, men mostly flock around Rena and Alice since I look too rough and less girly than them..." Emilia started muttering things under her breath.

"Stop your scary curse chantations. I'm not going to touch you. I have plenty of money to buy a service from a high-quality brothel anyway. So? Did you hurry here just for us to travel together? Is there any urgent message you want to convey to me?" Lyan shifted his gaze towards Surena.

"There's no urgent message, but there is a certain message from Lichia. This," Surena handed a bag that seems to be filled with coins to Lyan.

"This is?" Lyan asked as he accepted the bag.

"It's the reward for the looted items from the goblin king's subjugation. You must forget that Lichia told you about how the appraisals of the looted items are getting delayed because of the quantity, right? She was quite mad and worried when she showed me the farewell letter you sent her before your departure," Surena said with a small sigh.

"Ah... I completely forgot about it. So this is the money from selling the magic ax from the goblin champion variant and other looted items huh... Looks like I got more money to spend on the northern brothels then," Lyan casually tossed the bag inside the wagon without even taking a peek at the amount inside.

(From the weight and the size of the bag that is quite big, there are hundreds of them inside, huh? I guess it's difficult to bring a chest filled with gold while riding a horse, so she brought them with that bag instead) (Lyan)

"Ah. Do you guys need some of the money? I'm currently having too much for me to spend anyway," (Lyan)

"Our portion of reward from the goblin king subjugation is still far than enough for us, mas- Lyan. We could buy some better equipment and rent high-quality lodgings without having to care about money for a long time with this," Surena tapped on her armor that seems to be brand new.

"I see. Then that's good. You must be tired, how about-" (Lyan)

"Hey, master. No, Lyan," Alice suddenly tugged his cloak from the side.

"Hm? What is it?" (Lyan)

"You seem to be in a rather good relationship with Lichia and Rea. Rea said that she's shipping Lichia with you while giving a side note that she's also aiming for you. Looking at their faces when they mentioned you... Did you sleep with them yet?" Alice asked while staring directly into Lyan's eyes with a pair of mysterious eyes.

(Those eyes... I don't know whether she's interested or not. But she won't be asking if she's not interested, isn't she?) (Lyan)

"I didn't sleep with any of them yet," Lyan replied with a shrug.

"Yet," (Emilia)

"Hm?" (Lyan)

"Yet! You said 'Yet', didn't you!? So you really are aiming for them as well, aren't you!?" (Emilia)

"Well, the two of them are beautiful. And it's not like I'm going to force them or trick them to do it anyway. It's just that if they let me, then I'll gladly take up on the offer," Lyan replied indifferently.

Emilia slightly blushes, while Surena slightly twitches when they saw Lyan's indifferent response. While their other comrade in other hands-

"Ooh!!" Alice's eyes sparkle as she holds Lyan's fist with both hands.

"What are you doing?" (Lyan)

"An aloof pervert that won't force his way. You're like the main character of the storybook that I've read at the kingdom before. The guy that could easily sleep with a hundred girls whenever town he goes. The story said that he could go five rounds with those a hundred girls in one night and in less than four hours! Are you capable of doing the same thing as well?" (Alice)

"That's messed up in more than one way, but more importantly, it doesn't make sense. To do five rounds with a hundred girls in one night in less than four hours, just how many meat rods does the guy have? What kind of shitty story did you read...?" (Lyan)

"Eh? It was a popular story that is considered a bestseller in the whole kingdom back then, though? Not only men, but even women also love to read the story back then. Right, Surena? Emilia?" Alice shifted her gaze towards her two best friends that could only reply with a shameful nod.

"I see... Make sure to note how strange the taste of the Kasmiran people is in a history book. Ah..." Before Lyan could question how the people of the Kasmira kingdom could have such a strange book famous around the kingdom, the sun had already risen up.

He conversed with the valkyries too intensely that he didn't realize how long the conversation went on.

"Well, looks like it's time to continue the journey," (Lyan)
