Lord Summoner's Freedom Philosophy: Grimoire of Love

(Master. Single move from them, summon me, I'll drain their lives) (Lilith)

(Call me, I'll chop these bastards' heads) (Griselda)

(I'll make them into fertilizer) (Azelia)

(They'll freeze for eternity...) (Eira)

(Summon us, master!!) (Syplhia)

(I'll burn them to cinders) (Hestia)

(I'll cut their men's things and burn them to purify them) (Cynthia)

(Master. Your call) (Arturia)

The Mythril-ranked mercenaries stared at him in wary as they ready their swords, while the guildmaster only raised one of his arms, halting them from attacking Lyan.

(Now, now, calm down, ladies. We're not fighting anyone here. Well, at least not yet) (Lyan)

Lyan sent his thought toward the spirit girls inside the grimoire's space.

The murderous intent that the girls emitted only leaked from Lyan for a moment, he swiftly suppress those bloodlusts from leaking, making the people in the room only sense their bloodlust for a short moment.

But that was more than enough to make them wary of him. That kind of bloodlust is not something a normal person could emit. Even though they are doubtful about whether the bloodlust that they felt is real or not, but looking that everyone except the guildmaster jumping from their chairs, the bloodlust they felt must be real.

(Thanks for getting-) (Lyan)

Lyan was about to thank them for getting angry for him, but-

(Those damn bastards! I almost won against that ice woman!! How dare they disturb my focus!!) (Griselda)

(Eh?) (Lyan)

(Hmph! Are you imagining things? I was the one who almost won, the one these scoundrels disturbed are my chance to win) (Eira)

(I-I almost ripped the comic I was reading, you know!? I won't be able to read the rest if I accidentally shred it to pieces because of the sudden murderous intent they're aiming at master, wouldn't I!?) (Sylphia)

(You're surprisingly talkative, Sylphia...) (Lyan)

(I forgot to save because of them!! I forgot to feed the cows and they're in the bad mood now!! If I restart the game, it will start at the start of the day and I would need to start the day all over again!!) (Azelia)

(Harvest Sun, huh...) (Lyan)

(I almost ripped *Pant!* the holy scriptures as well. Their *Pant!* conduct is unacceptable... *Pant!*) (Cynthia)

(L-Lady Cynthia? Why are you panting so bad?) (Lyan)

(Cynthia... *Pant!* Even though *Pant!* We're in the great part... *Pant!*) (Lilith)

(Please don't tell me the two of you are looking at the thing I'm thinking right now....) (Lyan)

(I-I burned the comic book a little... B-But it's those guys' fault, okay!? And it's just a part of the cover!! I immediately prevent the fire from spreading!! It's all their fault!!) (Hestia)

(It's fine, Lady Hestia...) (Lyan)

Lyan felt like he was a fool for thinking that they were angry for him.

(I guess I should have expected that...) (Lyan)

(Master. I'm genuinely mad because of their rude conduct. If you summon me now, I'll make sure to 'punish' them so they won't ever look at you with the same eyes) (Arturia)

(Thank you, Arturia... You saved my poor soul...) (Lyan)

As Lyan got started to get absorbed by his inner conversation with the spirits, the guildmaster's voice brought him back to the world.

"I guess that's enough proof to show that he is worthy to stand here. Sorry for their rudeness, Evocatore. The ones I've gathered here are the members that are going to advance early to the forest today and become the elite team to defeat the high-ranked goblins and the goblin king," The guildmaster folded his arms as he uttered those words with a firm look.

(Hm... I don't think this is a good time to take such a high-risk job. Slaying some goblins from the corner of the subjugation team is enough for me, I guess) (Lyan)

"Forgive me for my rudeness, Guildmaster. But I'm just a merely Silver-ranked. I'm afraid I might be a burden and hold-" (Lyan)

"Fret not," The guildmaster cut Lyan's words.

"I've heard about your skills from Josephine and Abraham, and they seem to praise you very highly. I've also read your report about how you've slain one normal goblin champion and two fire-attributed goblin champion variants two days ago. Those skills are more than worthy to join this elite team, Evocatore," (Guildmaster)ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"And about your mercenary tag, I think this is the perfect moment," The guildmaster threw something at Lyan with considerable speed. But without flinching, Lyan caught the thing calmly and saw that it was a brand new gold-ranked mercenary tag.

"Congratulations. You've now a gold-ranked mercenary. I intended to promote you even further, but I'm afraid promoting a mercenary that had just registered to the guild less than a week ago too much might raise lots of dissatisfaction amongst the crowd. Now, Evocatore. Do you perhaps have any other reason why you can't join the elite team? I assure you that the reward from this quest will be very big, you know?" The guildmaster stared right into Lyan's eyes as he asked the question.

*Sigh!*

Lyan let out a sigh.

(Seems like he got your escape routes completely blocked, master~) (Lilith)

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ (You're damn right) (Lyan)

"It's my pleasure to be able to be part of the guild's elite team. I'll gladly accept the opportunity," Lyan politely said.

"That's good. Now everyone, please take your seats," (Guildmaster)

Following the guildmaster's words, everyone returns back to their seat and return their weapons.

One of the guild's staff leads Lyan to a chair and lets him sit.

"Now, we'll start the meeting," (Guildmaster)

At that moment, everyone's attention immediately turns to the guildmaster, ready to listen to his explanation about what the so-called elite team will be doing.

"As you've realized, all of you here inside this room is going to become the spearhead of our quest. To make sure that you won't make the wrong decision, I'll personally inform you of the current situation," (Guildmaster)

"According to the scouts of the Astellia kingdom, there are already 17 villages inside the kingdom's perimeter with around 100 people in each village confirmed to get completely destroyed because of the goblins' raids. To make sure all of you understand, this is still the number that they have 'confirmed," The guildmaster emphasized the point of his words.

(So we still didn't know how many villages that had actually gotten destroyed by the goblins, huh...) (Lyan)

"We've also sent our scouts ourselves, and we ourselves confirmed 9 villages inside out perimeter at the south that had gotten destroyed by the goblins. The remnants and the way the villages are destroyed are the same, so the information from the Astellia Kingdom is credible," (Guildmaster)

"Knowing so, we sent a joint scout mission with the Astellia Kingdom, and we sent 30 scouts from our staff, while they sent 50 scouts from their side. It's a mission only to make sure about their number, but it turns out that they're well aware of the possibility of us sending scouts," (Guildmaster)

"Y-You mean..." One of the Mythril-ranked mercenaries from the Crimson Talon party uttered in surprise.

"Yes. We only have three of the scouts we've sent return, while the Astellia Kingdom's scouts got wiped out. They got greeted by goblins with an attire similar to assassins, attacking them in an ambush, catching them off-guarded. But even so, the three of them still managed to deliver the information we needed," (Guildmaster)

The Guildmaster tapped the table with his palm.

"The number of the goblin army roughly estimated is about five thousand. But we should expect that there are more. Goblins reproduce quicker than we knew, so they must be increasing their number even now," (Guildmaster)

"Knowing so, it will only be more dangerous if we let their number continue to get larger. That's the reason why we decided to make a quick measure and subjugate the goblin king as quickly as possible. But this time, the goblins might don't give us the time to prepare ourselves. There is a possibility that they might suddenly attack us today or tomorrow. So you, the elite team," The guildmaster stared into the eyes of all of the mercenaries present in the meeting room one by one.

"All of you are going to attack the nearest lair of the goblins today, we're going to make the goblins eliminate the thought of attacking and go defending before they took the initiative and attacked the city. That's what I want to tell you today. Prepare your equipment, and return here at the seventh bell," (Guildmaster)

****************************************

"And that's the gist of it," Lyan explained how he managed to enter the elite team of the goblin king's subjugation to the three famous flowers of the House of Roses. But of course, he didn't include the part where he almost fight with the Mythril-ranked mercenaries inside the meeting room.

"So it's gramps and madam's doing..." (Xena)

"Did you talk with the Mythril-ranked mercenaries and the guildmaster!? I want to meet them too! They said that their strength is just like an army, is that true?" Asked Alina excitedly. Alina has always been a fan of strong people, so it's not a wonder that she was excited when she heard Lyan's story.

"Well, I guess that might be true," (Lyan)

"But isn't it dangerous? It means that you're going straight to the strongest goblins in their lair, right?" (Belle)
