Lord Summoner's Freedom Philosophy: Grimoire of Love

"Then forgive me for a while. I'm making sure all of those disgusting seeds get out from inside of you," Lyan pushed Xena's belly with his right hand's palm, covered in purple mana aura.

"It's going out..." Xena uttered in admiration as the disgusting semen of the goblins that raped her get out of her crotch. When she saw it before, she got depressed whenever the thought of her getting pregnant with a goblin's child like the stories she heard before about the fate of girls that got abducted by goblins like her appeared on her mind.

But now, there's no need to worry about it anymore.

(I won't get pregnant with a goblin's child!) (Xena)

Not long after, all of the semen gets out from inside her, and with a snap-

*Snap!*

A bolt of small lightning struck the pool of goblin's semen and burnt it, leaving nothing behind.

"Tell me," Lyan stared right into Xena's eyes with a solemn look on his face.

"T-Tell you what?" Xena answered as she blushes while she tried to once again cover her body with the black vest Ravia gave her.

"Do you want to forget the memory of the assault from the goblins? It won't be completely gone, but if you want, I could put that memory in the deepest corner to make you forget the intense emotion the memory might give you. You make the call," (Lyan)

"...Forget?" Xena muttered the alluring and saving word to save her from the traumatic experience she just had.

Holding Lyan's hand, Xena answered him with resolute eyes. Lyan could feel her trembling hands- no, he could feel the trembling of her whole body.

"Please, make me forget by all means," (Xena)

"Then please excuse me," Lyan slowly reaches his index finger towards Xena's forehead, and-

*Tap!*

All it needed was just a single touch.

Since the traumatic experience she had is not long before, the memory is currently in the very front layer of her brain. And with her powerful will to remove that memory, it makes it easier for Lyan to immediately push it to the most corner of her brain.

!?

Xena widens her eyes. At that moment, her body immediately stopped trembling. The pain she felt all over her body before disappeared as if it didn't even there to begin with.

The truth is, Lyan used his holy mana to heal her body. Cynthia's holy mana is much more than just effective. In such a short duration, the body that already got slightly healed by the potion given by the Madam immediately got fully recovered.

"I-It's gone... It's gone! Just what did you-" (Xena)

*Flaps!*

Lyan covers Xena's body with the cloak he had been using, revealing the muscular body that is only hidden by a thin black shirt.

"It was mind magic. I forcefully pushed the memory to the furthest part of your brain. Well, trust me, I won't do anything stupid. I don't want to get killed by those ridiculously strong people, after all," Lyan points at Abraham and the Madam that just finished killing all of the goblin champions and the goblins from the main entrance.

"I-I trust you. You've saved us multiple times, after all," (Xena)

"S-she's right!" (Alina)

"Is that so? Then that's good," Lyan stands up and takes a glance at how the shadow hobgoblin is faring.

"W-What exactly is that thing? Is that a summoned a creature? Are you a summoner? Or is that a familiar?" (Belle)

"Ah... Actually, I took the liberty to take over the hobgoblin you enslaved with your shadow magic back then at the forest, you see... It isn't hostile, and I felt sorry for it to just stand there in the middle of the forest after helping me kill the goblins back then, so I take over the spell, is it fine?" (Lyan)

Lyan's words are not a lie. He did take over the enslavement magic, but it's just that he didn't mention that he's a summoner, thinking that he didn't have enough information and strength to rely yet on this point. If leaking the fact that he's a summoner might bring troublesome things for him, he might regret it afterward.

"T-Take it over? I see... I never thought that taking over an enslaved shadow entity is possible... Maybe it's due to the distance and the weakened supply of magic between me and it..." Belle started to mumbled things under her breath.

*Slash!*

The hobgoblin finished the last goblin from the hidden passage off.

"Hou... You even defeated three goblin champions, and two of them are a variant as well... You're strong, Lyan!" The Madam praised him as she 'lightly' hits his back cheerfully.

"It seems that my eyes are right. A polite gentleman hiding a powerful strength. I'm sorry I couldn't assist you because of my rusting skills, Mr. Lyan," Abraham apologized with a deep bow.

"You don't need to, Mr. Abraham. You're facing not only the goblin champion variant, but the horde of goblins as well at the same time, after all. In my case, I have my shadow hobgoblin assisting me in taking care of the goblins and hobgoblins," (Lyan)

(And you don't even have a single stain on your clothes, aren't you, old man? And you still call your skill rusting...?) (Lyan)

"Indeed. It was really troublesome facing the goblin champion variant and the stream of goblins at the same time," (Abraham)

"You're right. I'm glad that all of you are fine," The Madam hugged the three of them with some tears in the corner of her eyes.

Inside the Madam's embrace, the three of them cried to their heart's content. And following them, the two grandchildren hug their grandfather as well, showing how terrified they are because of the battle with the goblin champions.

"Well. We've succeeded rescued the three of you. And the proof of slaying these goblin champions and all of these goblins here will give us a fortune in the guild. And usually, a goblin's lair like this has a treasury room, want to check it out? We might get a real fortune out of here," (Madam)

"Ugh... Madam... That really ruins the whole emotional atmosphere..." (Xena)

"Fufufu! I'm a merchant too, Xena. I need to remember my funds. And the city had been desperately trying to take over our place, after all. I need to ensure we have our weapons ready, which is money!" (Madam)

By the big battle before, they had killed all of the goblins inside the lair. More than a hundred goblin corpses varying from normal to hobgoblins and goblin champions lying inside it.

"I'll escort them to the surface and back to town first, I'll leave the shadow hobgoblin to help the two of you collect the goblins' ears and the treasures from the lair. Is that fine?" (Lyan)

"Okay then. Gramps and I will be here for a while and fill my magic bag with money-worthy things. We'll catch up shortly," (Madam)

With that, they split up. Lyan carried Xena that just recovered and couldn't exert enough strength to walk such a distance in a princess carry, while Alina got carried by Ravia, and Raine and belle are tasked to watch over the surroundings.

Xena desperately tried to refuse Lyan carrying her, but without heeding her refusal, Lyan took the liberty of lifting her and immediately walks away.

*Step!* *Step!* *Step!*

The six of them walked through the night forest together.

"Am I... Am I heavy...?" Xena asked with a small voice.

"You're light," Lyan replied with a chuckle.

"What does that chuckle mean, huh?" Xena slightly pulls his shirt as she covered her face on his chest.

*Step!* *Step!* *Step!*

"Hey. Now that I think about it, who are you?" Xena asked without pulling her head from his chest.

"I'm Lyan Arkanium Evocatore. A mercenary," Lyan answered shortly.

"Why did you keep on saving us? We even left you with the goblins in the forest back then, aren't you mad?" (Xena)

"I-I'm sorry..." Alina that heard the conversation apologized to Lyan.

"Angry? No. Confused? Yes, at first. Not long after, I realized that your leader made the right call. It's a good decision befitting a leader of a party of three beautiful girls," (Lyan)

(B-Be!?) (Xena)

(Beauty!?) (Belle)

(Ful!?) (Alina)

The three of them blush because of Lyan's words.

"And Alina even made a commotion when you visited the house and made you got kicked out from there! Aren't you mad?" (Xena)

(House, huh... So it really is a courtesans house rather than a brothel, I guess) (Lyan)

"I'm sorry..." Alina once again apologized.

"I can't blame her either. I'm the one who selfishly decided that she needed help, she might not need my help, and she got surprised because a terrifying-looking guy holds her, so it can't be helped," (Xena)

"Terrifying-looking? You?" Xena finally pulled her head as she stares at Lyan's face.

"Pfft!" Xena let out a small laugh.

"What is it?" (Lyan)

"You're not terrifying. She was just panicked because she got saved again by the man we just abandoned with the goblins in the forest. Please forgive her and us for doing that," (Xena)

"It's fine. It no longer bothers me," Replied Lyan with a shrug.

"Is that so? Um... D-Do you want to know why the three of us are working on the house?" (Xena)

"Xena-chan!?" Raine exclaimed in surprise, thinking that the story is something that shouldn't be told to a stranger.

"Is it fine, Alina? Belle?" (Xena)

"I'm fine," (Alina)

"I-If it's him... I'm fine as well..." Belle answered with a flushed face.

"Then. Do you want to know?" (Xena)

"Tell me. But tell me just the things you could tell me, you're not obligated to expose your secrets to me even if I saved your lives, after all," (Lyan)
