"Wait, wait... Xiaolin, why are you looking at me like that? It's weird!"
Aqua's expression changed.
That look was too dazzling, just like the look he looked at her before when she did something wrong, he unconsciously took several steps back.
But then I thought about it, it had nothing to do with me at all!
……perhaps.
But is this really the case?
Kobayashi, who knew the truth, knew that it was actually Aqua's fault that she used magic to circle the cemetery near the mansion, making it impossible for the ghosts to go, which was why the ghosts lingered in various houses and were unwilling to leave.
Aqua's intentions are good, but she always does bad things with good intentions. This is also her own characteristic, and Xiao Lin has long been accustomed to it.
When he was in that world, he suffered a lot because of this.
Of course, there are many benefits.
Thinking about it this way, when he first looked for Wiz, Axel's ghosts inexplicably increased...
No, no, no, it shouldn't be Aqua.
After all, she had just been taken to the lower world by Sato Kazuma at that time, and she had not yet had a chance to do such a thing as using magic to circle the cemetery.
You have to be reasonable in doing things, and you can't let the stupid goddess take the blame for everything, right?
Although the reason this time was caused by her.
Back to the mission.
Luna pointed to the list above and said: "This mission is especially suitable for you. Miss Aqua is a high priest and can use advanced purification magic. If you can successfully complete the mission, whether you buy it at a low price or stay for free, it is a good choice. .How about it, Xiaolin, do you want to take on this mission?"
"I want to take it! I want to take it!"
Before Xiaolin could say anything, Aqua hurriedly grabbed the task list.
Looking at the reward above, he giggled.
In her opinion, ghosts are just a piece of cake and can be completely solved in a few clicks.
Being able to stay in a mansion for free or something like that.
She likes it best!
They then met with the real estate agent who issued the assignment. According to him, the owner of this mansion had moved to the royal capital, so the mansion was vacated and handed over to an agency for sale and management.
It's just a very unfortunate coincidence that the mansion encountered this evil commotion when it was put on the market.
Not to mention selling it now, the negative reviews have turned the mansion into a haunted house, and no one will buy it even if the price drops to freezing point.
Just in time, Xiao Lin and others came to take over.
After bargaining, I successfully won it at the ultra-low price of 1,200 Eris.
The intermediary didn't want to sell it at first.
But Xiaolin Xiaozhi used his emotions (if he didn't sell, he would just rot in his hands, and it would even affect the intermediary's evaluation as a threat) and reasoned with his emotions (the little loli's excited scarlet eyes stared at him intently) Intimidated), the intermediary still agreed to sell.
This is a win-win result. If he can get rid of it smoothly, he has no reason not to agree.
The four of them came to the suburbs carrying simple luggage.
Looking at the two-story mansion in front of me.
"Although the price is very low, is it really a good idea to buy it?"
At first, Sato Kazuma fell into the temptation of low-priced mansions, but he came back to his senses after the impulse.
"After all, isn't it still a haunted house?!"
"That's it."
"This mansion feels like it has been unoccupied for a long time. The commotion of evil spirits started recently. Maybe the previous commotion of evil spirits started because of it. Maybe it is a haunted house..."...
Oops, I'm starting to get scared.
Kazuma Sato rubbed his arms to save Kobayashi's opinions on buying a mansion.
"Senior Xiaolin, what should we do now?"
"...I don't see what there is to be afraid of. We're not experts in dealing with the undead, are we?"
Kobayashi gave up his position and placed Aqua in the middle position.
Although she can't do her duties as a goddess well
, but other than that you can trust Aqua.
"I will handle it!"
Aqua patted her chest confidently, then closed her eyes as if sensing something.
"I see it, I see it!"
She was like a garrulous psychic who kept talking from her mouth.
"This mansion was previously used to house the illegitimate child of a nobleman. The nobleman gave birth to a child with his maid on a whim, and his name was Ana Feranti Estero. After the death of his sick father, his mother also disappeared. , and finally left her alone in the mansion, dying alone without ever seeing her parents’ faces.”
Aqua looked exactly like those fake masters on TV who roamed the countryside. Sato Kazuma looked at her like a thief and a liar.
Full of disgust.
"Senior Xiaolin, what do you think? I really want to complain about her unnecessary settings and how she even knows her name, but is this guy really okay?"
"...Sato-kun, what would you think if I said I saw it too?"
"Eh?"
Only then did he realize that the Axis cult's symbol appeared on Xiao Lin's forehead.
This is a manifestation of the ability to activate [Five Sights and Omnipotence].
"Uh, it can't be..."
"It's just what you think, I can see ghosts."
——Spiritual vision.
Let’s give this ability a name.
Being able to see ghosts and other entities that ordinary people cannot see is aptly called spiritual vision.
But when did you get this ability?
【Five Visions】
Its abilities include clairvoyance, distance vision, clairvoyance, future vision, vision, and the ability to foresee the future, and now it also has spiritual vision...
Ah, could it be...!
He remembered that Aqua had modified the pattern of [Five Visions] before, and then it was strengthened a lot. Could it be that it was then that the ability to see spiritually was added.
So now it should be called [Six Vision Omnipotent]?
Why does it feel so strange?
No, no, no, just like there are five of the Four Heavenly Kings, [Five Sights and Omnipotence] has six...seven abilities, it's very reasonable.
Sato Kazuma was even more scared.
If there was only Aqua, he could completely regard it as an idiot goddess making a fool of herself, but Xiaolin said so, and he was a little frightened for some reason and couldn't calm down.
"Kobayashi-senpai, what exactly is that ghost?"
"Hmm... She has blond curly hair and wears a small white dress. Although she looks very small, she likes to act like an adult."
"Is it so detailed?"
"I can't help it, Aqua's psychic vision is a bit stronger after her transformation."
I don't know whether to thank or blame her.
Being able to clearly see ghosts is something that ordinary high priests cannot do. It may be too scary to see so many ghosts that almost fill the entire mansion. ….
Fortunately, [Five Sights and Omnipotence] can be turned off, otherwise he would definitely have a headache.
Isn’t there such a saying?
——Out of sight, out of mind.
Xiao Lin said with relief: "Okay, okay, don't be afraid, I will go and negotiate with her. From the appearance, she should not be an evil spirit...probably."
"perhaps?!"
The corners of Sato Kazuma's mouth moved slightly.
Although Darkness and Megumin didn't say it clearly, their expressions seemed to be a little uneasy just like him.
But the three of them couldn't do anything, they could only wait patiently.
I hope it can be resolved smoothly tonight.
He sincerely expected it.
——————
The mansion had been unoccupied for a long time, so they did a thorough cleaning before moving in.
After dinner, everyone simply assigned rooms.
Xiao Lin was semi-forced to live in the largest room in the middle of the second floor.
In addition to the large size of the room, the bed was also very large. In addition, Sato Kazuma looked at him and Liu Zi's strange smile, and always felt that he seemed to have misunderstood something.
No, it's possible that there's no misunderstanding.
late at night.
Sato Kazuma took off his equipment and prepared to sleep.
After all, he had no choice but to hold Aqua. She was a goddess with a special physique that attracted evil spirit creatures, so that while they gathered there, he could make his room cleaner, and he could take the opportunity to have a good sleep. Sleep.
...This is how it should be.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s too sensitive or if it’s because of his psychology. Even when he’s lying on the bed and covered with a quilt, he always feels like someone’s eyes are staring at him, and they’re still staring straight at him!
Oops, I feel like going to the toilet.
"…………"
No matter what, he must not pee his pants.
That would be too embarrassing!
Sato Kazuma swallowed.
And when he quietly poked his head out from under the quilt, a small doll floated in front of him, its blank eyes intersecting with his.
next second
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Sato Kazuma's howling, about to burst into tears, echoed throughout the silent night.
The hoarse roar almost screamed out his soul. He jumped out of bed in fear, waved away the doll in front of him, and ran out of the room without looking back.
"Aqua-sama—Aqua-sama—, please, help me! Aqua-sama—!"
He howled and ran toward the living room.
The goddess is going to deal with evil spirits tonight, so as long as she runs to Aqua's side, she will be completely safe.
But as soon as he ran to the lobby on the first floor, he saw a blue light illuminating the sofa with his back facing him. From there, soft whispers like evil ghosts continued to come from there, matching the quiet and dark night. , the horror effect is directly maxed out.
I couldn't help but shiver.
But he was still extremely curious, so he crept up to them. The steps were very light, for fear of irritating the dark shadow on the sofa.
However--
"who?!"
The sudden scolding and the blurry appearance under the blue light made Sato Kazuma's heart skip a beat and he fainted from fright.
"Sato-kun! Hello, Sato-kun!"
Vaguely, he heard someone calling his name with concern. ….
I do not know how long it has been.
Sato Kazuma woke up from his coma and saw the doll floating in the blue light. He was so frightened that he screamed on the spot.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
Unexpectedly, the other party also screamed.
"Ah?"
The two shouted at the same time, but Sato Kazuma was not so scared. After adapting to the dim blue light, he finally saw the face of the person in front of him clearly.
"——Kobayashi-senpai?!"
Then he breathed a long sigh of relief and complained: "Really, don't scare me, I'm really timid."
"You're trying to scare me, why did you scream so suddenly?"
Xiao Lin replied unhappily.
I was really frightened by the sudden voice just now, and I unconsciously raised my voice with Sato Kazuma.
"Besides, what are you doing here, Kobayashi-senpai?"
"Didn't I tell you before, I'm negotiating."
"Negotiate? With whom?"
"she."
Kobayashi pointed at Sato Kazuma's doll that was approaching. Sato Kazuma jumped up in shock when he saw it, and hurriedly hid behind Kobayashi, not daring to show his face.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, she is actually not an evil spirit."
"real?"
"Really. Look."
Xiao Lin stretched out his hand, and the doll floating in mid-air fell obediently into his palm.
"Her name is Anna. She is the daughter of the original owner of this mansion. She became the earthbound spirit of this mansion because of her weak health and eventually died of illness."
"Aha……"
Earthbound spirits are special characters that often appear in anime. Most of them are harmless to humans and animals and are good friends with the protagonist.
Having said that, Sato Kazuma was no longer afraid.
But after thinking about the ghost who was face to face with him just now, he immediately asked: "...wait, what about the other dolls?"
"It's an evil spirit possessing me," Xiao Lin said.
"Well……!"
Sato Kazuma was speechless and choked, and then asked inexplicably: "Senior Kobayashi, why is there a faint blue light on your forehead?"
"Because I want to see Anna."
"That muttering is..."
"I don't want the conversation to disturb your sleep."
"Is it all a coincidence?!"
Sato Kazuma clenched his fists. He didn't expect that he was scaring himself just now.
Unfortunately, the urge to urinate, which he had neglected because of his fainting state, suddenly surged at this moment.
"X-Xiaolin-senpai, I want to go to the toilet."
"Please."
"that……"
"You didn't say you wanted me to accompany you, did you?"
"certainly not!"
Kobayashi's teasing voice made Sato Kazuma a little excited. Maybe it was because of the existence of the ghost girl, but he didn't want to appear so unbearable, so he decisively refused.
But after rejecting it, I immediately regretted it.
"Ah, right."
"Kobayashi-senpai!"
"Sato-kun, bring a bottle of sparkling wine when you come back. This kid really likes listening to adventure stories and drinking sweet wine."
"Kobayashi-senpai?!"
Sato Kazuma's excited expression froze for a moment. After a brief pause, his shoulders hunched down. After hesitantly agreeing, he moved his steps outward little by little, as if to see if Xiaolin changed his mind. ….
pity.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Even if you look at him like this, he is actually very reliable. By the way, where did you say that? Ah, you have the idea of establishing the Axis Theocracy, right? Then..."
I am not reliable at all, and before telling the story, it is necessary to educate her on how terrifying Axis is.
After hearing what Kobayashi said, Sato Kazuma kept slandering him in his heart.
After a brief absence, he returned quickly.
"You're very quick."
"Haha, hahaha..."
Sato Kazuma could only laugh awkwardly.
He couldn't say that he was too scared and ran over immediately after going to the toilet. That would be too embarrassing.
After that, Xiaolin told stories about adventures vividly.
While Sato Kazuma was listening, his eyes kept looking back and forth. After seeing an exaggerated number of dolls lying outside the window, he was obviously frightened and moved a lot closer to Xiaolin. It seemed that only in this way could he feel safe.
In fact, it was indeed the case. The dolls possessed by evil spirits could not get close to them. They were all blocked by a protective shield.
It's the blue crystal necklace Xiao Lin is wearing.
It turns out that one really works!
Sato Kazuma felt deeply sorry for belittling Aqua before, and decided to sincerely apologize to her in the future.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Just as he was thinking this, Aqua let out a panicked howl, followed by a crackling sound, followed by the angry voice of the Water Goddess.
"Damn evil spirits, how dare you steal my high-end bubble wine, let's see if I don't purify you all!!!"
"Well……"
Sato Kazuma looked at the bubble wine placed in front of him, quickly hid the empty bottle, and wisely chose to remain silent.
Sorry, evil spirits.
Just treat it as right
The punishment for scaring me will only fall on you. .
