Chapter 86: 80: Friendly Town Mayor

With all the commotion, your sweat had time to dry after sex, and you don’t feel the same urge to take a shower as before. You pick up your white shirt from the chair, where the twins must’ve placed it yesterday. How long has it been since Ariadne summoned these clothes for you? The shirt has blatantly visible, yellowish sweat stains under the armpits and the shirt itself is more light-gray than brown. The condition of the brown pants is unspeakable – dirt, cuts and blood, from your many encounters. Luckily, only some of the blood is yours.

You feel a bit of pride in yourself for going through so many life and death experiences in such a short time, and living through… most of them. If this keeps up, eventually your combat experience will be second to none. As you comfort yourself with those thoughts you pull the shirt over your head and onto your body. The rest of your garments might as well go in the garbage. It’s, apparently, summer anyway, so just the shirt is fine. You’re overdue for a fresh set of clothes anyway, and it looks like you’ve stumbled upon a potential sponsor.

“So, you’re the mayor?” You ask Finley, who remains glued to his guards by your spider’s web.

“Mfmmm! Fml!” the mayor obviously can’t say much, with his mouth sealed by his own hand.

“Let him go!” Beth screams at you.

“If you scream like that again, I will feed you to my pet spider,” you say nonchalantly to the naked woman and nod in the direction of your spider monster, who’s playing cat’s cradle with her own web strings to pass the time. Hearing what you’ve just said the spider-girl throws you a look that can be summed up in three letters: W; T; F.

Of course, you have no intention of feeding Beth to the spider, but you have to shut the girl up somehow before the entire town knows what’s happening here, and that little threat did the trick.

You then also realize, that Beth is acting rather hostile to someone she’s supposed to take care of. A couple of possibilities rush through your mind.

For a second you wonder if the twins simply pretended to be under the effects of your [Submission] spell, but that would require them knowing that you’re casting magic on them and have a strong enough resistance to not fall prey to it. Not to mention, Beth was rather hostile when Alicia first brought you into the house and changed completely after you cast the spell.

One possibility is that your [Submission] spell wears off after the target climaxes, but you roll that out since none of the bunny girls showed any sign of that. Well, to be fair, you have no idea what happened to Epsilon after… your intercourse, but you had a small orgy in the dungeons, and nothing seemed out of place after that.

Another possibility—and a more likely one— is that not everyone is going to remain calm and kind when their ‘dear friend’ turns out to be a summoner of monsters and attacks your father.

You walk up to Finley and say, “I’ll let free your mouth, but the same warning applies to you—scream and you’ll be the one sent to Elamia. In pieces. Not if you understand.”

Finley nods. You’re about to reach to his face and try to free up his arm, when you realize that is not such a idea. For one, you could get stuck yourself. And as a summoner, it is basically your job to stay a safe distance away, behind your minions.

“Be a dear and free up the mayor’s mouth, so that he can speak,” you say to your summoned spider. “But make sure to take away his sword, and rebind his hands. He did try to cast a spell after all. Oh, wait a minute!”

If there’s one thing you’ve learned in the past two days is getting accustomed to how quickly twenty minutes can pass by.

“Take care of your head,” you say to the spider and cast [Summon Spider]. The spider-girl disappears in a puff of smoke and reappears in the blink of an eye. This time she ducked her head to avoid cracking the ceiling again.

“And now, take care of the mayor, please,” you say.

The spider rips the sword out of the ball of web that is glued to the 'goatee' guard’s stomach. A thin stream of blood follows the hilt of the sword.

“MMMMMMM,” Finley’s screams are muffled, tears build up in his eyes. You remember that if the mayor had his sword clenched in his hand when it was bound, then by pulling it out his hand was cut up with the diamond pommel.

The spider-girl shows little concern for Finley’s pain and spits in his face. This time it’s not a web-spit. Instead, the spider’s saliva dissolves her web and the mayors mouth and hand are free. Of course, the very next moment that same free arm is bound again with a ball of web, attaching it to the other guard.

“Good,” you say and think for a moment. Eh, why not? you make your decision, cast [Submission] on the mayor, and say, “Starting from today you will follow my orders without question. Understood?”

“Yes,” the mayor answers in a flat tone of voice.

…

You find yourself completely flabbergasted. Do you seriously have the mayor of the town under your command? Just like that? This feels almost too good to be true. What do you even do now?

“Release him,” you say to the spider.

She does your bidding and, a few saliva spits later, Finley is free to stand up.

“Finley, was it? Right?” you ask him.

“Commoners like you should at least add ‘Sir’,” Finley frowns.

“Yeah, that’s not going to happen,” you say and then decide on the first order. “Take your sword and stab it through that one’s goatee. Now!”

“WHAT!? W-wait, NO! THE HELL!?” the young guard screams.

“He won’t do something like that!” Beth screams as her father picks up the sword and with all his might runs it through his own guard’s chin and neck.

The poor man gurgles and chokes on his own blood as it pours from his wounds and mouth.

“AAAAAHH!” Alicia covers her head and screams and sobs. Beth and the remaining guard are left speechless from what they’ve seen.

Finley withdraws his sword, cleans it with his cloak, and puts it back to his side, strapped to his leather belt.
