"Lia!! You're safe!!" The mother runs to Lyan and Lia in a rush together with her small daughter, Nia.

Lyan gently lifts Lia up and carries her in a princess carry as her limbs are still weak, not just because of the numbing drug, but because of the numbing activity they just did on the way back.

"Yes, mother..." Lia replied with a flushed face as she smiles brightly at her mother.

Lia's skirt and parts that got soaked by the love juices made from their love-making were carefully cleaned by Lyan using magic. By forcing them to evaporate, Lyan forced the clothes to dry after controlling the fluids inside the clothes to leave the clothes.

"You... I've told you to be careful countless times..." The mother scolds her with tears running down her cheeks. Lia responded to the mother's hug with another hug as tears also welled up in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, mother... I've made you worried..." (Lia)

As the two mothers and daughters cried while hugging each other, the little girl followed suit and cried together as well.

As a stranger, Lyan could only gaze at the heartwarming scene with a satisfied smile on his face.

After the mother and daughters finished having their heartwarming scene, Lia told them the chronology of how she got abducted.

As usual, after helping her mother tend their farm, Lia went to do her job as a waitress at the inn where she usually works at. Inside the inn, there's one customer that had been occasionally coming as a regular starting four months ago.

He's a friendly guy with a rather good-looking face. Unlike other guys, he didn't directly make move on her, but made a steady approach to her, making her to make her guard down as they got closer as friends.

Today, when she was just about to take a short break from her shift, the man suddenly asked her to go for a walk while bringing a pair of horses. In the village, it's rare for someone to have two horses easily. So looking at the man holding two horses like that shows how he has much wealth, and she decided to accept his offer.

By thinking of taking a stance of keeping him at an arm's length, she accepted his offer to evaluate him further, but ended up getting abducted by three strong men along the way.

When she woke up, she was already inside the cell, but there was no sign of her body getting violated when she was unconscious.

But when she was awake, she felt very thirsty for some reason. And there is only a single cup of tea-like water served on top of the stone table. Without a single doubt, she immediately gulped down the drink to relieve the dryness of her throat.

Because of that drink that secretly contains a numbing drug and an aphrodisiac, she ended up losing the strength of her limbs and has her lust lits wildly.

Of course, she didn't tell the mother and her cute little sister about the aphrodisiac and how she did it with Lyan on the way. She only told them how Lyan and the valkyries saved them, and how the valkyries are going after the bandits alone and ended up going separate ways from Lyan for a while.

(The good-looking guy... Was it the man that got beheaded by Surena when we first entered the underground room? Well, there's no meaning in knowing whether it's him or not, I guess. He must have been one of the lying corpses inside there now) (Lyan)

As Lyan recounted the illegal slavery site, Lyan remembered the love session he had with Lia along the way. Even though they had done it and it seems that her favorability towards him had greatly increased, there was no announcement that he usually gets from the summoning grimoire.

(Did she lose the affection she showed me after she regained her composure, I wonder? What a strong-hearted girl... But well, it really is a treatment. And we did it with mutual consent, so she shouldn't be coming at me while blaming me for taking her virginity) (Lyan)

"Sir Lyan... Thank you very much for saving my daughters... I wonder how I should thank you..." The woman kneeled herself before Lyan as she thanked him.

"H-Hey. There's no need to do so, young madame. Please raise your head. I'm going to lodge in your house, so of course, I can't just sleep while knowing your daughters are in trouble. I've also saved them for my pleasure, so there's no need for you to feel so indebted," (Lyan)

"Your pleasure?" Asked the woman.

"Yes. Since the mother is a real beauty with a great body, I believed that the daughter must be a beauty as well. That's why I decided to save her. Saving beauties are men's pleasure, after all," Lyan said boldly.

"B-Beauty... P-Please doesn't tease an aged lady like me, sir Lyan," The woman said with a blush.

"I'm not joking, though... But an aged lady? You don't even look old, though. Now that I think about it, I never know about your name, did I?" (Lyan)

"Ah! How rude of me. My name is Mia, sir Lyan. I'm 34 years old. The oldest girl over there is Lia, while this small one is Nia," Mia introduced herself as she stands and made a graceful and humble bow.

"I'm Nia!" Nia declared brightly.

"I'm Lia. Thank you for saving me, sir Lyan..." Lia uttered with a hint of blush still lingering on her face. Since her legs are still weak, unlike the other two, she introduced herself while remaining sitting.

"I'm Lyan Arkanium Evocatore. You can just call me Lyan, no need for honorifics. I'm going to stay here for a day, so-" (Lyan)

"A day?" Lia cuts in.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Eh? Yeah..." (Lyan)

"Are you going to breakthrough the seasonal storm? If I'm not mistaken, today showed the most signs of the seasonal storm happening. I suggest you to stay here a little bit longer," (Mia)

"Seasonal storm?" Lyan uttered in confusion as he furrowed her eyebrows.

"Ah... You're from the direction of the city of Arkansas, aren't you?" (Lia)

So according to Lia and Mia. In every season, there will be a week filled with five consecutive heavy rains, and one of the rainy days will bring a storm. But the seasonal storm didn't occur in all places, it only happened right from the Astellia kingdom territory to the northern countries.

"I see... I guess I'm lucky I didn't hasten my journey, huh?" (Lyan)

"Yup! So mister is going to live with us for a while!! Yeay!! You're a mercenary, aren't you!? Can you tell me cool stories!?" (Nia)

"Nia! You're bothering him!" Mia scolded Nia that immediately jumped onto Lyan's lap and asked him to spoil her.

"Hahaha. It's fine. Hm... I don't have many stories, so I guess I'll tell you about the goblin king subjugation in the south," (Lyan)

Looking at how Nia warms up to Lyan, and how Lyan warms up to Nia made Mia has a warm smile on her face.

"I'm going to prepare the dinner. All of you must be starving, right?" Mia stands up and is about to went to the kitchen.

"I'll help, mother!" Lia enthusiastically stands and prepared for the kitchen.

"Wait, Mrs. Mia," (Lyan)

"Yes?" (Mia)

"Can you prepare for additional 8 portions of food? I will pay for the foods, so could you please make them?" (Lyan)

"8? T-That's quite a lot... But yes, I could. Please wait together with Nia, Lyan," Mia nods with a serious face before she went to the kitchen together with Lia.

As they wait for the food, Lyan told about Nia the journey and fights they experienced in the goblin king subjugation with blurry details as he can't tell the brutality of the fight to a kid. Nia's eyes shone brightly as she listens to Lyan's story with a great focus and a great smile, nodding along as Lyan continues the story.

Along the way, Mia occasionally stole a glimpse of the sight of Nia that is sitting on top of Lyan's lap while listening to his story and getting her hair stroked gently.

He's treating her like she's her daughter, while her daughter had completely gotten attached to him even though they have just met for a while.

"A father... Huh..." (Mia)

"Mother?" (Lia)

"Ah. It's nothing, Lia. It's time to add the spices to the soup, let's make sure the food is delicious enough for Lyan's taste," (Mia)
