Chapter 104 The Goblin Case's Victims

"It must be hard on you, Ravia... Must be like riding on a ship going in a direction filled with unexpected waves..." Josephine gave a sympathetic smile to Ravia that is letting out a big sigh.

"You couldn't be more right, Madam..." (Ravia)

"Well, the night is still young. What will you do now, Lyan? Do you have any plans after this?" Josephine moves closer to Lyan and put her hand on his thigh as she asked seductively. She's using her mature charms to the fullest, Lyan could see that she's eager to continue their love session again, but he shakes his head as he put his hand on top of her hand.

"I'm going back to the inn. I need to make them sure that I'm still inside the inn, after all. Unlike Jean and his folks, the ones tailing me this time are not that foolish, after all," (Lyan)

"Is that so?" Josephine let out a disappointed sigh.

"It can't be helped then. But make sure to tell me if you're having any trouble or so, you hear me? I might have a couple of enemies, but I have a considerable amount of allies and influence in this city as well, after all," Josephine clasped their hands together like lovers as she sent a glance to the squinting Ravia, clearly showing off the level of their intimacy with each other to Ravia.

Lyan let out a chuckle as he witnessed Josephine's unexpected childishness and squeeze her hand once before standing up.

"I'm going. I think I'll return back here tomorrow," (Lyan)

"I need to check up the business downstairs as well. But before that," Josephine closed her eyes with a smile, and lift her face above.

Knowing what she meant, Lyan obediently followed her wish and gave her a several-minute deep kiss. After their separate their lips with a line of saliva connected to their tongues, Josephine whispered to Lyan as she glance at Ravia that has her body shivering in envy.

"I had more than enough fill already. You can give her some too. It's very rare for her to make such girly expressions, so you better treat her well, you hear me?" Josephine whispered and went downstairs.

When Lyan shifted his gaze, he realized that Ravia is squinting at him with a small childish pout.

She usually gives off a vibe similar to a man, and there are lots of girls not only from the house, but from the female regular customers of the bar that idolize her and look at her as a man as well.

It can't be helped since she always copies Abraham in every way, her way of speaking, her movement, and even her business smile is more like an enchanting gentleman rather than a woman. But-

(No matter how much man-like she is, a girl will always be a girl in front of her man, I guess?) (Lyan)

As Lyan approached her and stops right beside her, she continue to wipe the few remaining wine glasses with a small pout before commenting.

"Looks like you've become very much closer to the Madam without me noticing. You sure move fast when it comes to woman, aren't you?" (Ravia)

"I move fast not only in that, though," Lyan took one of the dirty wine glasses and helped her wipe it with a spare cloth.

"What are you doing?" (Ravia)

"There's only a little left. I'm helping so you can finish faster," (Lyan)

"If you think that you'll win my affection with this then you're absolutely wrong," Ravia continues to wipe the wine glass on her hand, but it's obvious to see that there is a small smile and blush on her face.

Since there are only a few left they finished wiping them in no time. After putting the last wine glass, Ravia took a glance at Lyan, and saw that he was staring at her with a smile. His affectionate eyes made her look down in reflex.

"I guess that's all then," (Lyan)

"W-Wait!" Ravia holds Lyan's sleeve as he is about to leave.

"Me too... The... Goodbye... Kiss..." Ravia uttered in a mosquito-like voice. Looking at the usual manly girl acting so adorably before him made Lyan feels his lust raising. But he remembers that Abraham told him that he was only allowed to embrace after he return from his journey to the north.

While thinking what a shame it is, Lyan takes a step forward and he raises her chin. Ravia's greyish-black eyes seem to be sparkling as she stares at his approaching eyes with anticipation before closing them and tiptoeing.

After letting out a small chuckle because of such an adorable reaction, their lips finally met. The kiss started with soft pecks. When Lyan inserted his tongue, Ravia hesitantly opened her teeth before greeting him with her tongue.

The long passionate kiss lasted for a while as Ravia wrapped her hands around Lyan's head, refusing to let go.

"Puah!" (Ravia)

Ravia stares at Lyan with a hot gaze as she breathes roughly.

"I think I won't be able to hold myself if we continue. Let's stop here," Lyan pats her head as she reminds her. Ravia immediately remember Abraham's words afterward, and wiped the messy saliva around her lips with her sleeves.

"Yeah. I need to help Raine downstairs as well. Careful on your way, don't get into danger, okay?" (Ravia)

"I know," (Lyan)

"Ah! By the way, can you please take a look at something for me?" Ravia remembered something when she tidied Lyan's clothes.

"Can you please help the girls that fallen victim to the goblins? There are lots of them that fall into despair because of the traumatic experience, after all. But only if you can, okay? I wouldn't want you to push yourself because of it as well," (Ravia)

Ravia remembers how Lyan deal with Xena after she got raped by the goblins. When she delivered some donations from the Madam for the victims' camp, she saw how bad the situation is there.

"They are being sheltered at the campsite near the west gate. Please check it if you're not busy," (Ravia)

"I see... I'll do so then," (Lyan)

Ravia then went downstairs while Lyan left from the window as he went invisible with his illusion magic.

(What a cute girl. Now, the west gate campsite, huh...?) (Lyan)

Before Ravia mentioned it, the thought of going there and helping them by wiping their memories and draining the disgusting seeds of the goblin already crossed Lyan's mind. But because of the matters with the Astellian crown prince, Erich, then the case with Jean and other factions that might aim for him, he almost forgot it.

(Luckily she reminds me. Time to go there then) (Lyan)

After jumping from roof to roof stealthily for a while, he finally arrived at the victims' campsite. From the distance, he could see several physicians and nurses running around helping women and girls with a pale complexions and big bellies, transporting them to another huge tent filled specially used for those in labor.

(Now's my chance) (Lyan)

After the physicians and nurses brought all of the women ready for labor to the other huge tents, Lyan took the opportunity to enter the place. What appeared in front of him is a horrible scene of girls and women lying on simply made beds with a pale look on themselves.

(What a dense dark energy...) (Lyan)

Despair, sadness, and various bad emotions are filling the room, overflowing the place with dark energy produced by those emotions.

Since he need the consent of the girls before casting his mind magic, he decided not to alter their memories stealthily, but enter the place openly instead.

There are still some nurses inside, and when they saw Lyan entering the tent, two of them immediately approached him and ask his identity. There are lots of people that want to trick the girls that are already on the verge of breaking and made them into either slaves or prostitutes, after all.

Lyan took the mercenary tag under his clothes and show them.

"I'm the new Mythril-ranked mercenary, Evocatore. Could you please let me look around a little bit?" (Lyan)

"Evocatore...." (Nurse 1)

"That new Mythril-ranked one...?" (Nurse 2)

After processing his words for a while, the nurses suddenly made a ruckus.

"You mean that young Mythril-ranked that just got thousands of golds from the subjugation!?"

"W-What business do you have here?"

Lyan didn't heed their questions and went to one of the lying girls that have their bellies big and poked her before asking a question.

"Do you want to forget what happened at the goblin king's lair?" Lyan asked softly.

"Of course I do. I got ravaged countless times, and forced to be pregnant with a disgusting goblin child!" The woman answered with a scowl.

"I see... Then let's remove those unpleasant memories and the unwanted creature inside you," Lyan tapped on her forehead with his index finger, and the girl fell unconscious on the bed. From that tap alone, her strong memories of the goblins had successfully shoved to the deepest part of her brain.

(Now, for the tough part) (Lyan)

Lyan then put his palm on the big belly, and infuse his mana inside. Not long after, disgusting fluids started to profusely leave the woman's crotch. Slowly, the woman's belly started to become smaller, and the complexion of her face became better.

"W-What did you just do?" (Nurse 1)

Before the nurses made even more noise, Lyan put his index finger in front of his mouth, indicating them to stay silent.

"Please keep what you saw here as a secret," (Lyan)

"Y-Yes..." The nurse replied with a blush.

"Please help me out. Let's help everyone inside here," (Lyan)
