Lord Summoner's Freedom Philosophy: Grimoire of Love-Chapter 108 The New Agreement (End)
?"We want to offer you a new agreement. We've found out that Lilith's summoning duration had increased for an additional three hours after her intercourse with you. So we've come to a certain agreement," Cynthia folded her hands and spoke in her usual polite manner.
"I see... An agreement. Wait, increased? her summoning duration? I believed Surena reported that all of you got unsummoned in the same time back then," (Lyan)
Lyan noticed Lilith squirming and fidgeting with a completely guilty look on her face.
"That succubus girl is trying to hide that fact from us by doing so. It's her plan all along," (Griselda)
Lilith seems to get smaller.
"Basically, after getting forced to return to this space, all of us got exhausted and retire to our respective rooms. At the time we woke up, our mana is still not completely recovered yet, but her mana is noticeably more abundant than us even though she should have gotten depleted because of the summoning as well," (Arturia)
Lilith got smaller to a size of a child.
"And she even foolishly tried to fool us and act normal by saying her body is all aching and how half of her mana got depleted in just three hours while our mana got depleted for more than half of our mana," (Hestia)
"She completely and foolishly self-destructs herself," Eira commented coldly.
Lilith seems to become as small as an apple now.
"So she's trying to manipulate the information about how the intercourse with a master could extend the duration of our summoning period for three hours. So in other words," (Cynthia)
"She's guilty. To break the agreement for a second time, how foolish," (Arturia)
"G-Guilty, hiding such important information is not fair," (Sylphia)
"Guilty! Big sis Lilith, guilty!" (Azelia)
"How shameful," (Eira)
"Sinful, to think such a low-quality deception would be displayed by a great spirit of a succubus," (Hestia)
Lilith seems to get considerable damage because of the wave of jabs of words directed at her.
"You should be ashamed. I hope you're prepared for the next punishment," Griselda interjected with a sadistic grin that sends shivers to Lilith and Lyan.
(I don't know what will happen, but I hope you'll survive, Lilith) (Lyan)
Lyan silently prayed for Lilith's safety as he feign ignorance from Lilith's pleading gaze asking for salvation directed on him.
"So? What kind of agreement do you mean?" (Lyan)
With a gesture from Cynthia, Hestia nods and started her explanation.
"After interrogating her, we found out that her summoning duration had increased for three hours. It could be meant that every intercourse with you will increase three hours of the summoning duration," (Hestia)
"In normal circumstances, our summoning time displayed at the corner of our view increased every day for about 9 minutes. Judging from the continual increase of the summoning duration-" (Hestia)
"9 multiplied by three years which is 1095 days, I guess. So the duration of the contract will get fulfilled when your summoning duration in the real world reached for full a week, huh... Since that means you won't get forced warped to the grimoire's space again, it means you'll be capable of roaming on the world alive as free as you wish... So that's how the system work," Lyan nods in understanding.
"Yes. You calculate as fast as a grand merchant like it's nothing... By the way, so we've reached an agreement to have one of us summoned together with you every day. It will help us develop our relationship, and it won't be a disadvantage for you either since it means that every week there will be at least one of us available to protect you," (Hestia)
'Well, for only three hours, though,' Hestia added in a smaller voice.
"Hm~" (Lyan)
(It's indirect. But she's indicating that if by chance, they got into the mood and accept to do it with me, it will give benefits for both sides as well since their contract duration will shorten and I will get another summonable monster to summon... Well, it's not surprising that they want to finish the contract as fast as they could. They have things they wanted to do, after all) (Lyan)
(But even if they want to finish the contract as soon as possible, considering that every intercourse a day only increases three hours. For it to reach a week which is 168 hours, we will need about 52 days of sex...) (Lyan)
Doing intercourse for 52 times straight, it will be impossible for the ones in the act to not develop any feelings and attachment with each other after doing it for such a number.
Lyan glanced at the summoning grimoire that had appeared and floated beside him since unknown when.
(What a nasty contract this grimoire gave them... I feel like I'm a swindler that scams beautiful girls for my lust because of it. I know it was given to give me benefits, but sorry, this is not my way of doing things) (Lyan)
*Sigh!*
"Then let me give an additional chip to the agreement," (Lyan)
"And that is?" (Hestia)
"For every intercourse made in an attempt to shorten the duration of your contract, I could erase your memories about the deed and make sure not a single thing remains. Of course, if it's your option to do so or not. It doesn't sit well with me if I'm the only one who gets the most out of the situation, after all. And of course, if you want me to erase my memories about the intercourse, I can do so as well," (Lyan)
The great spirits stopped their tracks and halt their eating for a second when they heard Lyan's words. It's certainly favorable for them. But all of them know-
"Are you sure? You know the point of the contract made such conditions in the first place, right?" Griselda asked Lyan sharply with a pair of suspicious eyes.
"Of course I understand. But like I've said, I like to do things my way. I have no hobby of cornering someone to fall in love with me in such a nasty way. It made me look like a petty man," Lyan scoffed.
"That's... Unexpected... I haven't thought that possibility either..." Arturia uttered as she started to consider Lyan's offer. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚
"In the first place, all of you came here not to become my harem, but to settle the things you couldn't settle before you died. It will be too cruel for me to add another unfair thing to your series of misfortune. It will be ironic for me to restrict your freedom when I alone seeks for my freedom in this world. So I'll lend you a hand," (Lyan)
For the great spirits, Lyan's words somehow felt like a devil's temptations. It's something too good to be true despite of their unreasonable wish of getting back alive. But somehow, looking at him when he delivered his offer-
(It's like he's not lying...) (Hestia)
"I see. So that part of you that brings the angels and the gods into your side, I see. You really are the kind of person that I thought you are," Cynthia uttered with a graceful smile that made Lyan remember she's a holy priestess or sort. Her recent attitude and actions had made some doubts rise inside him, but it seems that she really is a real one.
After that, the conversation ends shortly. There is some small chatter between them as they talk about the games, dramas, and other things the great spirits use as their source of entertainment from inside the grimoire's space.
After the dinner ends, Lyan brought the dishes that had been neatly tidied up by Arturia, Cynthia, and a little assistance from Azelia outside the grimoire's space and lets the inn's waitress bring the dishes back.
Finally enjoying a moment of peace, Lyan took a nap before continuing to read the book that he hasn't finished before.
The brief peace went on for quite long before the first bell of the day finally rang. As Lyan closed the book that he just finished reading, a voice appeared from inside his mind.
(Master)
Unlike the usual, it's not Lilith's voice of seduction and mischief. It's a voice that is refined, uptight, and a little bit awkward.
"Yes, Arturia? You can't sleep?" Lyan rise his body and started stretching his body.
(Yeah... Something like that...) (Arturia)
Arturia's voice seem to be a little strained, and a hint of hesitance could be felt. But Lyan didn't bother to ask, and continue to make a pose on the floor. Putting his two palms on the floor while keeping his body straight with only the tips of his feet, and started lowering and lifting his body with his arms.
(What are you doing?) (Lilith)
"Training my muscles. By casting some debuff spells that increased the weight of my body and my clothes for several tens of kilograms, I could get the most out of it by making simple exercises like this," Lyan replied while continuing his exercise.
Lyan went from one move to another. Not only push-ups, sit ups, plank, and squat jumps, but he did all of the workout moves until his body profusely sweats as if he just finished a long battle.
By the time he ended, the second bell of the day had already rung. He does some post-workout warm-ups before wiping his body with a cloth. And he finally asked the question.
"So Arturia? What would you like to inquire for me?" (Lyan)
