Lord Summoner's Freedom Philosophy: Grimoire of Love

---The morning of the subjugation team's departure day---

---Belle's PoV---

"Geez, Alina-chan. Why didn't you wake us up as well? Even though we want to see him off too," I grumbled.

At the time when I woke up, the sun had risen, and Lyan had already gone. Well it's fine since Alina-chan hadn't gotten any real one on one moments with him, but since it's the day of a departure for such a dangerous quest, I want to see him off too, you know?

"The both of you are fast asleep, he told me not to wake the two of you up so I did what he told me to. And..." Alina said as she point in a certain direction with her index finger.

"That girl. She's not waking up, isn't she?" (Alina)

Our gazes fell on Xena that is still sleeping in a wild pose.

"Xena. We're assigned as mercenaries to guard the city walls, remember? We haven't had our breakfast and ready ourselves yet, you know? Wake up..." Alina said as she shakes Xena's body roughly.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "Just... Few more minutes..." (Xena)

"You can't! We're going to do our job properly, get our share, and pay our debt to the Madam, remember?" (Alina)

"Few more... Minutes..." (Xena)

"It's useless... She's not waking up..." Alina slumped her shoulders.

Fufufu. Alina is bad at waking people up as always.

"Should I try?"

"Ugh... Okay, then. It's your own fault, okay, Xena? I've tried to wake you up but you didn't. Don't blame me for whatever happened, okay?" said Alina as she pokes at Xena's cheeks.

What is she saying? It's not like I'm going to do anything bad to her.

I draw my face close to Xena's ears as I think about what I should whisper to her to wake her up.

Hm... What should I say to her, I wonder.

Ah! Let's try that.

"Xena-chan~ If you didn't wake up, I'll tell him the thing I caught you doing when you're relieving yourself, you know? The thing that you even asked Galia-chan to use her illusion magic to do so."

"What was it again? Lyan~ At least wait until I finished relieving myself. Do you want to see it so much? It can't be helped then, I'll let you-"

"Stop!!!!!!!!" Xena jumped as she woke up in a hurry.

"Ah! You're awake,"

"As usual... Belle's devil-like whispers together with her terrifying smile in the morning is quite something as usual," said Alina with a wry smile.

How rude, what do you mean by the devil? I was just waking her up with a smart method, that's all.

"B-Belle... Please don't startle my heart like that... No, in the first place, how did you know about it? I was sure I'm in the toilet when- No, forget it," Xena somehow stopped in the middle of her sentence. Why, I wonder?

"Galia. Is it possible for you to wake me up with your illusions next time? If possible, it would be best if you could make it as if it's Lyan that is waking me up, though," (Xena)

Galia-chan nods, it seems that she's saying that she could do that. Maybe it will be a good idea to ask Pilia-chan to do the same.

I take a glance at Pilia-chan, and as if she read my mind, she enthusiastically nods and sends me her thoughts telling me she could do it as well.

What a cute child.

"Now, now. I guess it's time to clean up these disastrous sheets," Alina put her hands on her hips as she stares at the sheets of the bed filled with love juices and some redness from blood.

Looking at how she's standing with a somehow awkward pose, it must be still kind of hurt to stand normally.

"Eh~ Can't we just leave it to the inn's staff? It's troublesome, though~" (Xena)

"We shouldn't! We don't know whether the one that will be cleaning this room is a virgin and still pure or not! It'll be a horrible experience for her!" (Alina)

Fufufu! Despite of her size, she's a big sister and a fine leader, isn't she?

"Agh! What are you patting my head for, Belle!? I'm not a kid!!" (Alina)

Eh~ She looks so happy when Lyan patted her head before, though.

"Now, now, Xena. It won't be bad to tidy up a little, I guess? We'll fold them and group the dirty sheets to make them easier. It'll give a good omen for us in the following battle, after all,"

"Fine~" (Xena)

After finishing tidying up the room a bit, we went to the dining hall to eat, and it turns out that Lyan had left a message to the inn to bring us breakfast and even paid for them beforehand.

He even ordered another portion for Alina even though she had already eaten her breakfast together with him. He completely knew that she was a glutton, didn't he?ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

After wolfing our food down, we prepare our equipment. Preparing the potions inside our bags, checking our weapons, and lastly, wearing our cloaks to make sure our identity as the House of Roses' most famous flowers didn't get found out. Well, with Pilia-chan and the others with their illusion magic, it's no longer a great concern for us, though.

"Now, time to depart!" (Alina)

When we arrived at the guild, Lichia-chan and Rea-chan were already waiting for us.

"The position that was chosen for the Deadly Bouquet party to be stationed at is the west gate of the Arkansas city!" Rea-chan declared with her usual cheerful tone.

Lichia motioned for us to get near her as she whisper something.

"I've taken some measures to make sure the girls from the House of Roses stationed at the same place. Make sure not to get injured, okay? If it looks like it'll get dangerous, immediately draw back," (Lichia)

"Okay~ As expected of the guild's treasurer, Lichia is very capable!!" (Alina)

"Oh stop it. By the way, it's rare for the three of you to not come together with the Madam. She said that the three of you went to the Scholar's inn, is it true?" (Lichia)

Madam... Why did you tell Lichia-chan about that...?

Xena and Alina also blushed a little as the Scholar's inn was mentioned by Lichia-chan. Our hands unconsciously went to our lower abdomens where a huge load of his seed entered last night.

Imagining how the warm seed that he shot last night is currently still inside me made me feel warm and cozy. So this is the happiness of having a man, huh?

"So our speculation was true, huh... Rea's intuition was right. The three of them and Lyan are..." Lichia seems to be uttering something under her breath with a serious look, did something happen in the guild, I wonder?

At the time we arrived at the west gate, the other girls from the guild were already waiting for us together with the Madam and gramps. Madam is looking at us with a mischievous grin on her face.

"Looks like the three of you had lots of fun with Lyan last night, huh," Said the Madam as her gaze went to our lower abdomens one by one.

"M-Madam!!" (Aline)

"Madam... We're in the public..." (Xena)

"Yes, Madam. Please spare us..."

"Ah. You're right. You're not one of my girls when you're wearing those cloaks, aren't you? You're mercenaries. I guess today we'll be comrades in arms, huh, Deadly Banquet?" (Madam)

"""Yes!"""

It'll be a great honor to fight together and protect the city together with the Madam and gramps.

"But will the goblins attack the city, though? The number of the mercenaries embarking on the goblin king subjugation was a lot, after all. There are also the mercenaries that will be going as reinforcement. Didn't we send more than enough mercenaries already?" (Alina)

"Well, about that... Gramps," (Madam)

"Yes, Madam. I'm afraid that the chances for them to come and attack the city are very high, lady Alina," said gramps that immediately appeared after getting called by the Madam.

"Why?" (Alina)

"I've tried doing some scouting myself, and I've encountered some goblins peeking on the city from several points surrounding the city. They seem to be their reconnaissance force. Since the number of the goblins under the goblin king are numerous, they would need lots of food," (Gramps)

"In this city, there are not only supplies like food and water, but there are also lots of humans that they could use either as food, slaves, or breeding target. Not to mention that once they've taken control of the city, this city would be the greatest base for them to have. So in their perspective, this city is something very alluring for them," (Gramps)

"So it's very likely that they would attempt to attack and take control of the city despite of the army of mercenaries coming towards their lair?" (Alina)

"Yes. I've heard that the one leading the goblins is quite capable. So they must have thought that by the number of the mercenaries coming out of the city, the city must have lesser strength in terms of number. So it's very likely that they will be attacking this city," (Gramps)

"I see... But when they will they start to attack, I wonder?" (Xena)

"Of course, they could start attacking whenever it is. It could even be now," (Gramps)

As if responding to gramps' words, the alarm bell on the watchtower rung together with the warning shout.

"Goblins!! They're coming!!"
