玉蒲团之云雨山庄

Chapter 2 Grimoire Of Summoning



"Excuse me, but is anyone of you kind enough to tell me where I currently am? I\'m afraid I still couldn\'t comprehend what is happening to me," Lyan mustered his kindest tone for his question.

"...."

But the contrary to his expectation, the eight girls in front of him didn\'t respond to his question and stared at him with a blank stare.

(D-Don\'t tell me they don\'t understand my language? Crap, if that\'s the matter then this will be a serious problem) (Lyan)

"U-Um... Do you understand my language-" (Lyan)

"Rather than asking us, why don\'t you ask that book instead?" said the red-haired girl in the fiery red dress.

"Book...? What book-" (Lyan)

"That book on your right hand! Argh, Damn it! You\'re so annoying! Stop acting flustered and man up would you!?" The silver-haired girl that has the fiercest look amongst the eight girls harshly retorts.

(Right hand...? Eh?) (Lyan)

Lyan finally realized that he was holding a huge black book in his right hand tightly.

"T-This is... A grimoire...?" Lyan observes the grimoire in his hand, and hesitantly, he opened it.

At the moment the grimoire is opened, dazzling lights from all colors illuminate the room.

"H-He finally opened it..."

"Tch! As expected it would only open if he\'s the one who opened it, huh. No wonder I couldn\'t open the damned book even though I mustered all of my strength," The silver-haired girl clicked her tongue.

(W-What the hell is happening right now!?) (Lyan)

Suddenly, a familiar voice appeared from the grimoire Lyan\'s holding.

<O great hero of the two realms>

"Hero of the two realms?"

"Hero? That guy is?"

"big bro, you\'re a hero!?"

"...."

"Hero..."

"That weak-looking guy is?"

"Hou... So he\'s a hero..."

"Not bad~"

Setting aside the comments of the eight girls before him, Lyan\'s face immediately went grim when he heard the god\'s voice. The reason is, that every time the god\'s voice rarely appeared, that means a great catastrophe is about to happen, or the progress of a quest he\'s in is heading towards the worst-case scenario. In short, the god\'s voice appeared mostly bringing big bad news.

(What kind of crap will it bring this time, I wonder) (Lyan)

<Now, you\'ll be briefed on the new quest you\'ll be pursuing and completing>

At that moment, the whole world freezes together with the eight girls that had surrounded him without him noticing. Lyan is neither shocked nor surprised by the development since he had been through the same development several times before.

"Here it comes..." (Lyan)

<At the time this quest message is conveyed through the \'gift\' we\'ve prepared for you, it means that you\'ve successfully reincarnated to the new world fitted for your new life>

"Reincarnated...?" Lyan muttered the unexpected word.

<The goal of your quest is to live your life in freedom. You\'re to choose your own path according to your will without any divine obligations obstructing your judgment>

"Freedom..." (Lyan)

Right at that moment, Lyan remembered the last moment of his previous life.

(Don\'t tell me, it\'s about that \'wish\' the god\'s voice asked me back then...) (Lyan)

The moment after he killed the evil dragon god, the god\'s voice asked his \'wish\' right before he let out his final breath.

<The grimoire you\'re holding is called the \'Grimoire of Summoning: Creature of Love\'. The grimoire is a summoning device, a \'skill\' gifted from us for your new quest>

"This grimoire, huh... But that name is sure strange..." (Lyan)

<The living grimoire is chosen by adding the components of \'Freedom\', \'Incubus\', \'Power\', \'Magic\', and \'Gift\'. The grimoire has an ability to summon creatures that are created from doing affectionate intercourse with your interests>

"I see... So I could use the grimoire to summon creatures that I got from doing intercourse, huh... I see, I see... Huh!? Wait, What!? Intercourse!?" (Lyan)

<The grimoire is chosen considering your former occupation as an incubus, while the requirement of intercourse is necessary to maintain the stability and balance of the world>

"W-Wait a moment! Wait a damned moment! How in the world does doing intercourse is necessary to maintain the stability and balance of the world!?" (Lyan)

<The details of the skills and mechanism will be written on the pages of the grimoire>

<Additional from the grimoire, you\'ve given eight high spirits to assist you at the beginning of your journey as part of the summonable creature of the grimoire, but the bond and contract they have with you are different from the monsters that you\'ll be able to summon from your grimoire>

<The eight high-spirits could only be summoned for a limited duration according to the affection rate you hold with them, but they could regain their living form after fulfilling some conditions>

"Regain their living form..." (Lyan)

<The briefing for the new quest had ended>

"W-Wait! Wait a minute!" (Lyan)

<Good luck in your new life, the quest name has been officially named>

<Quest of freedom: [Freedom Philosophy] will now officially start>

<We wish you the best regards, Lyan Arkanium Evocatore>

After that last words from the god\'s voice, the dazzling lights emitted from the grimoire disappeared. Even though his name suddenly and strangely got a middle name and a surname by the god\'s voice, that\'s still the last thing he would care about right now.

"Eh? Did it disappear? Just like that?" Questioned one of the eight girls.

(The time starts moving again, huh...) (Lyan)

Now that he knew the eight girls before him is somehow contracted to him, Lyan\'s cautiousness lowered. But the information he has about his current situation is still lacking, and because of that, Lyan immediately opened the grimoire\'s first page.

(Summon? I see... So this section will contain the creatures I could summon, huh... ) (Lyan)

Lyan browse through the first page into the middle part of the book and couldn\'t help but feel confused.

"This damn grimoire has nothing in it!!!" (Lyan)

After getting to the almost end of the book, Lyan finally found a page with something written on it.

[Ritual of Love

When the master of the grimoire has intercourse with a love interest, the lust, affection, and mana of the master and the love interest will get devoured by the grimoire, giving birth to a magic creature born from the ritual.

The magic newborn details and status will be written in the grimoire, and the master will be capable of summoning it without any time limits and mana needed.

The summoned creatures from the grimoire possess their own mana and could restore their mana themselves. But the transfer of mana between the master and the summoned creatures is possible regardless.]

"So this is the skill \'gifted\' to me, huh..." Muttered Lyan with complex emotion.

Lyan continues to browse to another page of the grimoire.

[Master of the Grimoire of Summoning: Creature of Love\'s buff

The master of the grimoire will be given some of the status and abilities of the monsters bound in the grimoire. The buff given is completely random, but it will increase following the summoned creatures\' growth]

(Hou... So the more creatures exist inside the summoning grimoire, the stronger I would become, huh...) (Lyan)

"Time freeze, huh. So there\'s god magic resided in that grimoire, huh. Well, it contains the god\'s voice as a message so it\'s not surprising, I guess,"

"So this guy really is the one mentioned, huh..."

"He looks weak,"

"But big bro\'s face looks very kind!"

"He looks delicious~"

(So what do we have here... Eight girls with a kind of magic but with an outrageous amount of mana... The god\'s voice mentioned them as high spirits but are they really spirits? Some of them look like normal human girls, though) (Lyan)

At the next moment, the grimoire in his hand glows and floats in the air.

"What is it this time!?" (Lyan)

*Whoosh!*

"W-Wha!"

"What is this chain!?"

Purple chains suddenly gushed out of the grimoire and strangles the eight girls.

"Y-You bastard! What did you do!?" The silver-haired girl asked furiously.

But Lyan didn\'t have the leeway to answer her as suddenly information about the eight girls in front of him forcefully entered his mind, sending him a short moment of headache.

Their name, their physique, their abilities, and the last moment of their previous lives.

"I see..." (Lyan)

"You, what are you-" (Silver-haired girl)

"[Contract]" Lyan gives out the command by adding some magic in his voice.

This time, the purple chains emit powerful light illuminating the whole room. The light remains for several seconds, but the moment the light vanished, the purple chains vanished together with it as well.

"What just happened..." (Green-haired girl)

"Hou... Finally more pages," Lyan muttered in satisfaction as he stared at the floating grimoire before him that had just got eight additional pages inside it.

(But as expected, they\'re not in the [Summon] section since they\'re special cases, huh... [Contracted spirit], huh...) (Lyan)

"You bastard! What did you just do!?" The silver-haired girl rushed towards him, grabbed his collar, and questioned him ferociously. Electrical sparks emitted from her body as her lightning aura became stronger as she became angrier.

"Griselda Alaister Fulmine," (Lyan)

"W-Wha... You... How did you..." Griselda\'s grip on Lyan\'s collar loosened as she got surprised by Lyan knowing her name.

"I\'ve understood. Why all of you here, why you\'re contracted to me, and what kind of pledge you gave to the god at your last moment," (Lyan)

!?!?!?!?

"Let\'s make an agreement," (Lyan)
