Novel Bin Chapter 138 Temporary Life In The Village (4)
"Hm... I guess I\'ll grab a meal and a beer at the inn. I wonder if there\'s a good wine being sold there," Lyan uttered as he wandered around the village.
Because of Mia\'s miraculous performance of her magic, she is currently helping the other villagers to force harvest the wheat at the rest of the village\'s field. Since the fields are rather vast, it will take quite some time for her to finish her work together with the villagers. Since there is also the seasonal storm ongoing, they\'re going to hasten the harvest and wanted to finish harvesting the great-quality wheat today as soon as possible, making the whole village to muster their manpower.
Knowing that it\'s not good for him to be around since he\'s an outsider in the village, Lyan went somewhere else and wandered around the perimeter of the village, sightseeing.
"She has lots of mana, but in case of her mana got depleted, I\'ve told Fia the Fey Mammoth to supply her some mana if she started showing any sign of getting pale," Lyan remembered the small little mammoth that nods cheerfully when he tasked her the important task to take care of her mother.
"So I\'ll be here for four more days, huh... I wanted to arrive at the north as soon as possible, though..." (Lyan)
Because of the seasonal storm that happens at an unknown interval, it will be dangerous for him to go through the storm and continue to the north while the distance towards the next town is about two and half days by carriage.
If the duration of the storm is only three hours, Lyan could just wait inside the grimoire\'s space until he reached his time limit. But the duration of the storm usually lasts for 4 hours to 6 hours straight. Setting aside himself, it will surely damage the wagon and deplete the health of the black horse.
(Well, I doubt that an aggressive black horse would die so easily though) (Lyan)
"So this is the inn where Lia works, huh...?" Lyan stared at the old-style building before him. It looks rather modest from the outside, but there is a certain neat-looking of the building that gives off a feeling of cleanliness from it.
Lyan opened the door, and the main hall that seems to be lacking with customers, and two waitresses cheerfully conversing with each other on one of the tables.
(I guess their customers are currently helping the village\'s harvest at the field, huh?) (Lyan)
"Ah! Lyan!" Lia\'s expression brightens and she immediately called him with a cheerful and joyful smile.
"Yo. Recommend me your best meal and beer. Do you have wine here, by the way?" (Lyan)
"Of course we have! Wait a minute, I\'ll tell the owner to serve you the best menu we have," Lia enthusiastically went over to the kitchen, leaving her friend that is staring at Lyan with a curious gaze.
"Please seat here, dear customer," The chestnut-haired waitress lead Lyan to one of the medium-sized tables.
As Lyan sits, the girl also seats at the opposite side of the table.
"Can I help you?" (Lyan)
"Hm~ So you\'re that guest that is living in Lia\'s house, Lyan, huh..." The girl stared hard at Lyan.
"Hey! Ruri! What are you doing!?" Lia that saw her friend sitting on the opposite side of Lyan rushed to the table and put a mug of water on it.
"What are you hurrying for? It\'s not like I\'m doing anything bad. But seriously, Lia... You have a guy with a nice warrior-like build and a handsome face with a pair of sharp eyes lodging in your house. How lucky... Hey, my name is Ruri. Do you want to lodge at my house instead? I live alone by the way," Ruri winked.
"R-Ruri!?" (Lia)
"Hm... I guess I\'ll consider it. It might be bad to lodge at Lia\'s house for almost a week, after all. I might be a bother to them," (Lyan)
"Y-You\'re not! It\'s definitely fine! You can even stay as long as you want!" Lia got worked up.
"Hahahaha! You really are cute, aren\'t you, Lia? Well, I\'m going to clean the second floor before the owner scolded me. Have fun talking~" Ruri went to upstairs after giving a secret meaningful win to Lia.
"Heh. What an easy-going girl," Lyan uttered with a chuckle.
"Yeah. Ruri\'s famous with everyone because of that attitude of hers. She\'s really good at befriending people," Lia stared at Ruri\'s back with a smile. As she stared, Lyan noticed that her praise is sincere and filled with affection rather than envy. She\'s sincerely admiring her for her communication skills rather than being jealous of it.
(I guess her sincerity and kind-hearted traits came directly from her mother, huh? But that reaction and closeness, I guess they\'re already close with each other for a long time, huh? What a good thing to know) (Lyan)
After looking at Mia\'s treatment by the villagers before, Lyan thought that Lia might be experiencing the same treatment by the villagers as she works since she ended up getting abducted by some bandits that work for the slave dealers. Looking at how she\'s having a friendly term with her coworker made Lyan let out a sigh of relief.
"Lyan," Lia who somehow had moved from the seat at the opposition the the seat at his side called him with a serious look.
"Yes?" (Lyan)
"I\'ve heard about mother," Lia declared shortly.
"Is that so?" Lyan nods as he takes a gulp of the water from the mug.
"I\'m very thankful... I never thought that we\'ll ever get such a normal treatment by the village, let alone getting thanked and getting treated specially by them. I know how much pain mama has been enduring, and I also felt the painfulness as well... Without your help... I wouldn\'t be able to talk with Ruri openly like just now... So thank you..." Lia\'s hand that tugs Lyan\'s shirt started to shiver.
"Well, I guess you could take that as my payment for taking your virginity," Lyan replied jokingly with a chuckle.
"Heh! I want to say that my virginity is not that cheap, but I guess what you did is very expensive and valuable for my family and me, huh...?" Lia\'s shivering stopped and she let out a small laugh while some drops of tears are still visible in the corner of her eyes.
"The meal will take some time, follow me for a minute, Lyan," Lia took Lyan\'s hand and went to a certain room that seems to be the staff\'s private resting room at the inn.
There\'s a wooden chair, a table, a couch, and a simple daybed.
"This room is...?" (Lyan)
Suddenly, Lia took off her underwear and lifted her skirt, showing her bare moist cave in front of Lyan.
With her face completely red like a tomato, Lia lowered her head and stared at Lyan with an adorable look.
"I want more pay for my virginity... Can you give me more of the pleasure you taught me that day...?" (Lia)
There\'s nothing for him to say more, he immediately cast the soundproof barrier around them and shut the television inside the grimoire\'s space together with his telepathy connection to prevent him from hearing the \'distractions\' inside the grimoire\'s space.
"My pleasure," (Lyan)
<Summoner\'s Wife, Lia has been recorded. The \'Requirement\' had been fulfilled>
<Summoning the evidence of love: <Arcane Retriever>
***************************************************
---Inside the Grimoire\'s space---
Putting her legs on top of the living room table, Griselda stared at the television that suddenly got shut off with an annoyed look as she put the cards she was holding down.
"He\'s doing it again, that lustful bastard..." (Griselda)
"It can\'t be helped. Doing so also helps him to get more summonable monsters and increase his strength. In ability improvement-wise, it could be considered as a productive activity for him. But the fact that it\'s a vulgar and lustful act will still remain, though," Hestia replied indifferently with a shrug.
After the case of Lilith, the high spirits made a shift system for them to monitor the television and Lyan\'s actions with two people while the rest of them are free to do whatever they want.
"Our mana had already recovered and the duration of the summoning restriction has already passed the restriction limit as well. If not for the seasonal storm and the village, we would have already gotten summoned in order every day by now," Griselda complained.
"You\'re right. But it can\'t be helped, the seasonal storm is not something that could be controlled anyway. Not like the flow of the game we\'re playing, sorry, but it\'s my win again," Hestia puts her winning card down and declared her win.
"Ugh... ARRGGHH!!! Hurry up and finish, seasonal storm!!! I want to get outside!!!!!" (Griselda)
