CH 68

The next day.

I accepted the request of Gard, a member of the hero’s family, and was walking into the rumored mansion.

[There…!]

The mansion on the outskirts of the city was the largest in Saint Bell just counting the site area.

[… are you really coming in? If the real enemy is the Demon Lord… Souta would be sent to fly with a blow…]

[Uu~….. Somehow in my mind it sounds terrible.]

After arriving at the mansion, Aphrodite and Sheryl were completely frightened.

Un.

Being dragged in by both of them, I’m starting to get worried too.

Maybe the real demon lord lives here?

The mansion seemed to have a surprising aura enough to make you embrace the anxiety.

[Don’t worry. I am convinced that… the sign of magical power I feel from this mansion is not from the Maou-sama].

[… is that so?]

[Yes, I feel the strong smell of one of my brothers inside. Certainly, it seems that a demon of high rank lives in his own way… I will let the master take care of him.]

[………….]

I’ve been thinking about it for a while… you’ve got me a little overrated.

I think carolina is not stressed even if her opponent is a demon, but it would be better if i paid more attention than ever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When we entered the mansion of the problem, the cold air was felt in the skin.

It probably hasn’t been used for a long time.

The hallway was covered with dust, and a spider’s web stretched over the ceiling.

As I came in the daytime, the light filled it and i had a good perspective, but I would be completely terrified if I had to visit it at night.

[Apparently the owner of this mansion is a hopeless antiques maniac.]

[Really?]

[Yes. The vase over there, the vase placed in the other window, are valuable. If you take them to the guild, they’d be bought for a reasonable price.]

[……….]

Oi, Oi.

There’s no way they would have left such expensive objects, is there?!

The mystery of the mansion only goes deeper.

[…… What is that!?]

Did you find anything interesting? Carolina starts running down the hallway of the mansion after she pointed.

What Carolina had run into was a bookcase.

[… how surprising. All the old books on this bookshelf are first-degree objects.]

[In the level that can meet on the “Books on all ages and countries” that Caro needed?]

[Yes. It looks like if we’re even on the ball, I won’t be bored for a while.]

[………]

What will I do?

It’s not like there’s no method of to throw a Capsule Ball and capturing the entire bookshelf.

No, do you think about that after seeing a little more?

To avoid getting into trouble later, it would not be too late to do so after collecting information about the mansion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Apparently, this mansion seems to be wider than I thought.

Even just searching on the first floor feels like it took me about 30 minutes.

Repeating this on the 2nd and 3rd floor obviously takes away the desire to continue.

It was right after I tried to finish the first floor trying to climb up the stairs to the second floor.

[Master, please be careful. I feel signs of the enemy from behind this hallway.]

[…. like a demon for example?]

[No, it’s probably something similar.]

When we walked for a while, countless fellows came out from the front.

Ghoul | Grade E | LV 15/15

Vitality: 118

Strength: 82

Magic Power: 15

Mana: 10

Skills

None

Guee~…

Is there such a monster…?

Just seeing it makes me want to hit him.

The Ghoul carried a disgusting physiological sensation as if a decayed human body had become a monster, that’s how it was.

That’s a total of three.

I could an smell like rotten eggs coming out of the monsters’ bodies even from a distance.

[U… it’s a terrifying monster… Souta! Attack him quickly.]

[I know.]

No matter how much the other part is grotesque in appearance.

On our side we have the Capsule Ball that gives victory from an attack.

It was the moment I was trying to throw the capsule ball with my arms.

[Wait, Souta! Are you out of your mind?]

I was stopped by aphrodite on the edge.

[… What’s bothering you?]

[You know, I didn’t want to say something like that… the inside of the ball is not just for me, but it’s a space where Caro and Sheryl live. And to put in such an unpleasant monster… What kind of sensitivity do you have?! I can’t let you!]

Oi, Oi.

There’s no way I can accept that kind of personal reasoning!

Although I was prompted by the moment, I mean, I didn’t even take her feelings into account.

I’d shake my head if you told me to live with a Ghoul under the same roof.

It’s useless.

This time I will fight in an ordinary way to respect the opinion of Aphrodite.

The three Ghouls are approaching us at the same time.

Nuu….

What is this…?

Probably the quickest way is to summon the Adamita’s Golem and crush them with his palms.

But… I don’t want to see as much as the ghoul getting crushed to pieces.

I’m probably thinking of a trauma that comes to me in my dreams.

[Souta-san. I wonder if zuch thing… has been prepared!]

While my head was aching, Sheryl pulled out of nowhere a stick with cloth wrapped in circles.

[Is that…?]

Crimson Magic Sword | Grade A

(Magic sword made of Adamite ore. Allows mid-range attacks by shock waves to put the user’s magical power inside.)

[That’s the weapon I forged! After receiving the adamite ore from souta-san…….. it is a piece that took it’s time in making!]

So what Sheryl reach to me was a magic sword made of 『adamite ore』 that we got from the other day.

No, no, no.

That’s not what I want to hear…

Why are you giving it to me right now!?

[Good, Souta-san! I want you to kill those ghouls with this magic sword I made!]

[…………]

Sheryl’s eyes gleamed with the belief that I would fight and they don’t hesitate.

Eh!?

Why do I have to fight like this!?

I definitely don’t want to do this.

How sad is it to have to fight a close battle with such a grotesque monster as opponent?

[That’s a good idea! Souta always lets the others fight in every battle… it would be good if from time to time you fight.]

Why is it…?

It seems that what she’ve said has a strong argument, but I do not want to do so just because she say so.

[It’s an honor to be able to see the Master’s heroic appearance!]

Wait a second.

I was hoping she would say,『There’s no need to bother Master with an opponent of this level』, or something.

Why are your eyes getting shiny!?

Damn it!

You… you want to see me fight so much?

[Oooooooooooooo~!]

It cannot be impossible to fulfill to expectations like a man if you tell him until now.

While I was into it, out of despair, I took the magic sword and pushed myself into the group of ghouls.
