49-New house trap

Oh, you're awesome!

Looking up at the house in front of him, Mylle exclaimed in admiration.

The house was located on the grounds of Mei Fan's dojo.

We are now standing in the front door of the mansion.

When you open the big door and go inside, you will find a rude but spacious space.

''It's definitely an insanely spacious place... is it really okay for us to live in such a nice place?

Yes. Or rather, I mean...

Mei Fan asked timidly.

''Are you sure it's the same for you?　For my part, I was going to transfer the ownership of the house to Gerald. As a matter of fact, I was able to get it back thanks to you.

'I've told you many times. I've told you many times that Mei Fan's house is filled with memories of her father and I can't take it back. What's the point of taking it back?

Mei Fan regained ownership of this house by dueling with Gant.

However, she said that she was able to get it back thanks to me, and at one point she proposed to transfer the ownership to me.

I tried to convince her that such a thing would be the end of the world, but apparently she still cares about it.

'I wouldn't want to do anything that would take away someone's treasure,'

But...

I said, "Done. Okay, I'm done with this. Next time, I'm not moving into this house, okay?

'Yes I understand. But if you ever want the house, just let me know. I'll let Mr. Gerald know when I'm ready to sell it to you.

Yeah. I'll tell you when it's time.

Satisfied with my words, she smiled and nodded.

'Then please come up inside. I'd like to give you a tour first.

'Yeah, up, up, up!　Wow, big, beautiful!

Prompted by Mei Fan, Meil went up into the house to be the first one to go in.

He was busy looking up the stairs from below and sticking his head in the open doors and windows.

''You guy ... you need to calm down a little more.

When I, in a daze, put such a voice to its back, Meir looks back at me with excitement.

'Because because!　This is our new home!

'New house... well, yeah, well, but there's something different about the way you say it, something.

But still, my heart is full of hope and promise for the future!

That's odd. I'm heartbroken, too. I'm worried.

Let's make lots of food for the kids.

So why are we talking about it!

Oh, but I haven't had my period yet!　What do I do!

You really have no modesty, do you?

It was so modest that it was almost completely deflated there too.

The hem of my dress is gently picked up by Mei Fan from behind with her fingertips.

'Oh, sorry Mei Fan, I'm sorry. Can you show me around now?

'Well yes. You're the kind of person that does that, aren't you, Mr. Gerald? I knew that. Haha.....

"?　What's wrong with you, Mei Fan? You're looking kind of unflattering.

''No........I just destroyed myself on my own, expecting it on my own, so don't worry about it, Gerald-san. It'll be fine.

'Hmmm, yeah?　Well, then, I hope so.

He lightly tapped Mei Fan's head with a pop and continued to speak.

''If you need something, don't hesitate to tell me. You have a lot of things inside you that you keep to yourself, don't you?

Ahhhhhh, ah.

Too much patience isn't good for you, and I'd be happy to go along with you if you'd just complain and whine. Okay?

'Ooooooh. And anyway, please follow me as I show you around the house, you two and more!

I thought I was encouraging him, but for some reason, Mei Fan's face turned red and he went onward without a hitch.

Did I offend him?

Caring is a difficult thing to do.

At any rate, I followed Mei Fan alongside Meiru.

''Hey.....

Huh?

You b*tc*!

Why is that.

--

It's a really big house. It's not a house. It's more like a mansion.

Me and Meil and Meil walked down the hallway with Mei Fan in the lead and Meil and Meil in the back.

''Yes. There were times when students and other students who go to the dojo would lodge there. That's why we have a lot of rooms left over, so Gerald-san and Myl-san are welcome to use any room they want.

A strong adventurer can make money.

And Mr. Xiaolan was that strong adventurer.

A strong adventurer earns in proportion to his abilities, and Xiaolan, who was one of the strongest adventurers in Zeto City, is said to have earned a lot of trust and a great deal of money.

That's how he opened a dojo, and as a result of his popularity, he built a lodging house and home next to his training hall.

"Oui, oui, oui!　Then we'll all sleep together every day!

I'd be more comfortable being alone.

That's boring!

Meil puffed out his cheeks, and Mei Fan giggled in a funny way.

You're right. I wish we could all sleep together.

''What are you talking about, even Mei Fan........''

Because it looks like fun. And you won't be lonely if you're all together.

That's right. Come to bed with me, Mei.

With Mei Fan's encouragement, Meil attacked here and there.

''No........?　They told me I could feel free to say anything I wanted, so, you know, I did....

Mei Fan is also dreading it.

Well, it's no use. I can't say no if you say it this way.

Besides, I can understand why Mei Fan is lonely. You've been alone since your father died.

Well, do you want to sleep with me?

Are you sure you want to do this?

Mei Fan timidly but literally waved her silver tail that grew from around her waist as she checked.

''Yes!''

On the other hand, Meir is really reserved.

Well, I guess you could say we're friends from childhood. When you've known each other for a long time, this guy's simplicity is rather easy to deal with.

While we were exchanging such words as that, there was an ominous sound from Mei Fan's footsteps as she continued onward.

''Oh, I forgot to tell you.''

Did you forget?

Yes, sir.

Mei Fan, who stopped, spoke up as it was.

''My father Xiaolan was a man who believed in the ever-present battlefield. Although he was a gentleman, his training was rigorous and he would never let his mind wander to the point of being ready to fight at any time.

Well, it's hard for any expert to resist being caught by surprise.

''Yes. So I was also teaching the students lodging in this house to be able to handle any situation...

With a bang, the walls of the corridor partially peel off, revealing countless round holes from underneath it.

Ah, what a bad feeling........

''As part of its teachings, this mansion was also decorated with countless traps.

You told me to let you know if there was a problem!

Shubaba-baba.

Countless arrows flew from the corridor wall.

''d*mn, the 'wind barrier'

Chanting in a hurry.

It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

It's too dangerous.

What a surprise....

When the rain of arrows finally stopped, Myl was patting his chest in relief.

I feel exactly the same way.

I thought it was too much of a surprise to chant in time--.

"Speaking of which...

What else is going on?

It was a double-layered trap.

I heard another 'bang' from the opposite wall.

'So why do you say it then, as if you remembered it!

'It's been, well it's been so long since I've been back here that I didn't remember all the details of the trap.

If you've been away for six months, well, that's what happens.

Tsk.

"'The Windbreak'.

I'm blocking the rain of arrows again.

Why the hell am I fighting in a place that isn't even a seal site (dungeon)?

Later. After this.

After this?

The floor will fall out.

With those words, we lost our footing.

A sudden sense of floating.

But no matter.

"'Float.'

I cast a spell on everyone, including Meil and Mei Fan.

If you look down, deep in the hole, there was a line of thorns lined up like a sword mountain.

''........Isn't this mansion trying to kill the residents?''

Not a single person has died yet, I'm told.　The arrowhead looks like iron, but it's a wooden arrowhead painted silver, and those spikes should be made of a decent soft material.

'Seriously.... no, but either way, the trap is too dangerous and too vicious...'

"Hey, Gerald, this is fun!

Next to me, dumbfounded.

For the first time, Meir floats in the air and makes a spluttering noise.

I wait for the floor to return to normal again before landing.

But with so many traps, it's a pain in the ass to live in. Can't you disarm them or something?''

I'm sure you can, but my father is the only one who knows how to do it.

Okay. Well, I guess I'll have to do it then.

Yes, we have to avoid these traps for a living.

I'll disarm it.

"Huh?

Hmm?　No, that's why I'm saying that if Mei Fan can't disarm it, I'll do it.

Oh, but how on earth did you...

Despite Mei Fan nodding her head, Myl nodded as if to say it was natural.

''That's right. It's that easy for Gerald~'

'What?　Huh?　Huh?

Mei Fan's reaction was unbelievable.

To her, I confidently said.

''Well, we'll see. That's about as much work as I could do, I wouldn't be a big deal.
