Lord Summoner's Freedom Philosophy: Grimoire of Love

(I wonder what suddenly happened to her) (Lyan)

Lyan curiously stared at Belle's expression that looked like the world had just ended.

"Ah. Now that I think about it, we haven't introduced ourselves properly, aren't we? I'm Xena Vilaas. You can just call me Xena, no honorifics please," The girl with short dark orangish-brown hair said as she put one of her hands on her hips. She has a slender body, and a well-sized breast, she has an easy-going air around her and seems to be easy to communicate with. Lyan felt that she has some of the Madam's boldness on her, and unlike before, the shadow in her eyes that seem to be bothered by the past had been gone and she seems to be more cheerful than before.

"I-I'm Alina! Alina Estelle. You can call me Alina without using any honorifics as well! Um... Sorry for the day in the forest and the night two days ago..." The girl with silky black hair bows as she apologizes. Her height is shorter than Xena's and Belle's, and her body is not as mature as the both of them, but it gives a different kind of charm. Lyan felt the feeling of wanting to protect her because of her cuteness.

"It's fine. Like I've said. You're not in the wrong," Replied Lyan gently.

"I'm Ravia Maxilton. You can just call me Ravia as well. As you've heard, I'm gramps' granddaughter by blood," The black-haired girl wearing a butler uniform said. Lyan still felt weird about the fact that she and her sister are wearing a butler uniform, but somehow her demeanor and behavior felt like a man makes her look natural with the uniform.

"I'm Raine Maxilton! You call also call me Raine! Hey, hey. I thought you were a bad guy, but you're surprisingly a good egg, aren't you? I was prepared to poison you or do something along those lines before if you really aiming for Belle-chan's body, you know?" The white-haired girl replied cheerfully. Lyan noticed that she and her sister are very protective of the three girls, but maybe it's because of their grandfather's influence.

"Well That's dangerous," Lyan replied with a wry smile.

"Um... Belle-chan! Your turn!" Raine tapped Belle's cheek, bringing her back to reality.

"Ah. Ah... I'm Bellemira Dianthus. Please just call me Belle. My hobby is reading books and studying alchemy to make potions and other stuff," said the pink-haired girl with a weak smile. She looks like she is fidgeting not long ago, but now it felt like she just got anemia.

"It might be late, but it's nice to meet you all. I'm Lyan Arkanium Evocatore. You can just call me Lyan without any honorifics either," Lyan give a slight bow as he introduces himself politely.

"I heard that you have just arrived in the city two days ago. You sure have bad luck that the thing about the appearance of the goblin king suddenly appeared not long after you arrived at the city. Ah! Do you want us to show you around the city? You might want to get more equipment and other important tools as well, right? Let us show you the liveliness of the city of mercenaries and merchants, Arkansas!" Xena suddenly suggests.

(Good move, Xena!) (Alina)

"Then I guess I'll accept your offer," (Lyan)

Without wasting any time, the six of them went out of the courtesans' house to wander around the city. Since it will be trouble if the three most famous flowers of the house of flowers got seen outside together with a man, they used their cloaks and use their hoods. And because Ravia and Raine are quite famous as well, they decided to use their cloak and hood as well.

"Ah! This, in exchange for your cloak. Thanks for lending it to me yesterday," Xena gives Lyan a brand new black cloak that is neatly folded by her.

"Hm? The one you're wearing, isn't it the one I lend you yesterday? You don't need to give me a brand new one," (Lyan)

"It's fine. I-Is it okay for me to keep this one...?" Xena asks him with puppy eyes.

(T-This girl surely knows how to entice a man...) (Lyan)

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom Suppressing his inner desires, Lyan let out a chuckle.

"You can keep it then. Thanks for the cloak as well," Lyan immediately use the cloak Xena gave him.

(Guh!! Xena keeps on scoring points on her own!!) (Alina)

Alina bites on her clothes in frustration as she saw the scene unfolds.

The six of them wander around the city from one corner to the other. Because of the notification of the possibility of the goblin king's appearance, the number of people entering and leaving the city had decreased, but the liveliness inside the city didn't disappear.

With the council issuing the request towards the guild, the mercenary guild had stationed more people to help in standing guard on the city walls. Knowing that the council had taken a quick response, the citizens felt assured and continued their activities inside the city.

In the mercenary city, there are lots of districts. There is the mercenary district that has potion shops, weapon shops, tool shops, and other mercenary-related shops inside it. There is the clothing district that is famous with women from various origins, the entertainment district where the house of flowers' is at, and the trading district where various kinds of things are being sold.

The girls first lead Lyan to the mercenary district.

"Since you lost your swords from the battle yesterday, you might want to buy better ones right? I recommend this shop for weapons and that one for armors. The owner of that shop is slightly grumpy but he is actually kind," (Ravia)

"Yeah! We bought our knives from there, after all!" (Raine)

The ones enthusiastic the most when they are in the mercenary district are Ravia and Raine. They explain about the shops they visited before in great detail towards Lyan with their eyes brimming with enthusiasm.

The next one is the trading district.

"People usually buy their food ingredients and other necessities from this district, that's why this district is located in the middle of the city and has the easiest access from all directions," (Alina)

"I see..." (Lyan)

While the next one is the clothing district.

"We usually buy our clothes in that shop over there. They have beautiful designs for women, but the price is rather on the top..." said Alina with a wry smile as she points at a shop.

"That's the restaurant we usually visit together with the Madam at the end of the month!" (Xena)

"That's the bookstore I usually buy the books I read!" (Belle)

"Hou... Please recommend to me the books you think are great sometimes," (Lyan)ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Gladly!!" Belle replied cheerfully as a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.

Libraries' and restaurants' locations are not bounded to any districts since they didn't fall into any category. Since the clothing district has the most nobles visiting it, they have the most libraries and high-class restaurants inside it.

"This is the most famous shop that sells beautiful accessories! We wanted to buy from here, but considering the price, it's better for us to buy clothes rather than spending our money buying accessories, after all," (Xena)

"I see... Let's see what's inside," Lyan suddenly enters the shop, leaving the other girls surprised.

Lyan wander around the shop and observe the accessories in focus. With a small smile plastered on his face, he take several items and bought them.

(H-He bought them!!) (The five girls)

They eat lunch at a restaurant in the clothing district before continuing their tour. Lyan secretly buys eight portions worth of food and sent it to the grimoire's space without the five girls noticing, afraid that the spirits might get angry if he misses buying them their food even if they haven't made any sound recently.

Going around the city while having various kinds of conversations made them oblivious to the flow of time. When they realized, the ninth bell had rung, and the sun is setting.

"Whoa~ We really has a blast today, didn't we? How long since the last time we wander around each corner of the city like this I wonder," Xena stretched her arms as she cheerfully said with a satisfied smile.

"You're right~ The last time we go around like this is in our early days in this city, didn't we?" (Alina)

"Yup! That time, Alina keep on wandering alone like a lost child, didn't she?" (Belle)

"B-Belle!! You shouldn't have mentioned that!!" (Alina)

"In our case, the last time we walk around the whole city like this is when gramps first brings us to this city as well, I guess?" (Ravia)

"Yeah, but sis keep on saying that 'mercenaries are all traitor lots and bastards so don't ever let your guard down every minute, ruining the fun..." (Raine)

"Oh. Did I? Well, but I'm not wrong, no?" Ravia replied indifferently.

"You're not wrong, but should you at least let me have some fun??" (Raine)

"""Hahahahaha!!!"""

Without them noticing, they already arrived in front of the house. They got too absorbed in their conversation that they didn't realize the distance they have walked.

"That was great. I enjoyed the day. Please take this, as my thanks for showing me around," Lyan gave the five girls an accessory each.

"Eh? So this is for us... I thought you're going to give this to your lover or something..." (Alina)

"This is cute!" (Belle)

"Hou~ You have a great taste," (Ravia)

"I felt like we're having the most fun though... And these accessories are expensive, aren't they?" (Raine)

"Is it fine? You even paid for our lunch at the restaurant as well," Xena hesitantly asked as she took the earrings Lyan gave her.

"It's fine. I just get myself lots of money anyways. Considering that I got that much of money because of you girls, I think it's appropriate for me to give you back something in return as well. Please accept it," (Lyan)

What Lyan gave them is earrings that he bought at the famous accessory shop in the clothing district. He chose them according to their personality and fashion sense, and it turns out that everyone loves them.

(Well, the earrings are sure rather pricey, but I still have about 49,700,000 Elnes. That's still a lot) (Lyan)

"Um... Do you like to have dinner together as well in the house?" (Alina)
