78 - The Brave Cleans the Ghost House

After registering as adventurers, we arrived at the camp.

"Oh!　A-ni-ue~, it's a big house!"

We're on the edge of the town of Kashikuzaki.

It was a Western-style house in the mountains.

"It sure looks nice, but ...... this looks a bit like a haunted house, doesn't it?"

Elise looks up at a Western-style house, which is indeed quite magnificent.

However, the grass in the yard is in disarray.

The walls of the house are covered with ivy and leaves.

"Quaint, isn't it?"

"Oh, it's nice."

"Cool!"

My brother-in-law replies with a cheerful expression.

"............"

"What's the matter, little brother, you look so gloomy?"

"Heh!　I don't care!"

It wasn't his usual grim face.

It was an expression of distress.

"Sakura, what's wrong with this house?　Oh, renting, as expected."

"Hmm, I bought it ♡ with my allowance."

Elise looks shocked.

"You're rich. You're a princess."

"Julius is a duke, too, so he has money, doesn't he?"

"I guess the house is, but it's not like I have any money."

I receive only a very small allowance.

"So, why did you buy a house instead of getting an inn?"

It's not funny. It's a camp, after all.　Let's do the cooking and laundry together, ♡"

I see, when you get a place to stay, everything is taken care of for you.

"Okay, let's go then."

"""Oh!"""

Everyone gets their luggage and heads into the house.

"What are you just standing there, little brother?　Let's go!

"Wait a minute, brother!"

Gaius looked blue and clung to my arm.

"What's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing!　I didn't want to be left behind!"

I'm not leaving you.

With my brother on my arm, we walk into the house.

"Ha-ha!　It's so shabby inside. It's like a haunted house!

"Hic ......!"

My brother, looking blue, lets out a small scream.

"Heh, don't be ridiculous, Mikhail!"

"What's wrong with Gaiusu?　I'm shaking. ...... Oh, I get it!　You're scared, aren't you~?"

"No, no, no, no, no!"

This time, his face turns red and Gaius shouts to his brother-in-law.

"Then why are you with Aniu all the time?　Are you too scared to leave?"

"Oh, really?"

Boom!

"No!"

Huh!　Gaius turns around and backs away from me.

"Well, then, let's quickly decide on the rooms, and we'll all divide up the cleaning work."

Yes!"""Yes!"""

The room assignments were split into male and female teams.

"Yay, we'll be in the same room as Aniue!"

Mikael jumps on the bed that was made by creation magic and jumps up and down.

"But brother, I didn't expect that."

"What the hell, brother?"

"No, I thought you were going to say something like, 'I'm going to use the room by myself.

Gaius tends to act alone.

"What's wrong with ......?"

Putting down his own luggage, Gaius sighs.

"Aniue, Gaius is too scared to be alone, moga moga ......"

My brother is pinning my brother-in-law from behind.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing!　You're supposed to get dressed and clean up quickly!"

Dressed in clothes that we didn't mind getting dirty, we came into the living room.

"Use the cleaning supplies as you see fit."

Boom! ......!

"He's naturally making cleaning supplies out of magic. That's what a master would do!"

"Uu~...... but I'm scared to clean up alone. What if something comes out?

Elise shivered and said, "I'm shaking.

"Yes, that's right!　If there are deadly monsters or something living here, these guys can't handle it by themselves!"

The younger brother says as Elise takes over.

"Oh, yeah. Let's split up into two or three groups and clean up.

Whoa!　Elise and the others open their eyes.

"Well, me and ......."

"Yes, yes, yes!　I want you and Julius!"

What are you talking about? I want Julius too.

"Of course I'll go with you!"

"I want to be with my brother too. ......"

We ended up playing rock-paper-scissors.

Sakura says with a deep smile.

"Au~, I couldn't be with Julius again."

"Don't worry, Eri. I'm here. I'm here. If anything happens, I'll take care of it.

"Thanks, Mika!"

So I start by cleaning the windows with Sakura.

Well, let's get on with it.

"Julius-san, don't you use a dustpan?"

"Oh, I'll do it this way."

I magically create a ball of water, a ball of wind, and a ball of fire.

I adjust the three spheres well and shoot them into the corridor.

Whoosh!

Beeeeeeeowww!

Gooooooooooooooo!　

"Oh, the windows are shining like a flash. ....... What did you do?"

"Well, I just rinsed it off with water and dried it with hot air."

"The windows are perfectly shiny. The water is dry and the ...... is a magic control. You're a handsome man, sir."

Sakura hugs my arm and says.

"What do you want next?"

"Well, I think I'll do [purification] for now."

"Heh?　Joujou?"

I raise my right hand and invoke the magic.

"[Turn Undead]"

C'mon ......!

A dazzling light emanates from his hand.

[Gyaaaahhhhh!

The screams of the dead monsters that seem to have settled in the mansion are heard from somewhere.

The light subsides in an instant.

"Oh my God, you startled me! If you're going to do it, just say you're going to do it.

Sorry, sorry. I think we got most of it. Now you can clean up the rest.

We cross the hallway.

"The rest of them? ...... Julius, you sound like there are other monsters out there."

That's when it happened.

There was an armored figurine in the hallway.

Suddenly it moved and swung its sword down at Sakura.

Boom!

Pash!

"Hic ......!"

I catch the sword with the tip of my index finger.

"Are you hurt?"

Sakura nods as she slumps to her knees.

"My friend, what are you bullying me for?"

I flick the sword I'm catching with my finger.

Baryiiiiiiiiiiiiin!

"This steel armor shattered without a trace. ...... What the hell happened?"

"What, I just popped it with my finger?"

That was a type of monster called living armor.

After that, I continued to clean up the remaining monsters.

Paryiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!

Boshuuuuuuu!

ZBANG!!! ......!

"There were so many strong-looking monsters, but they were so easy to defeat. That's Julius-san~♡♡♡"

She looks up at me with an enraptured expression.

"But there are so many monsters here."

"It's a mansion where vampires used to live. I wonder if any of their men are wandering around here."

"Hmmm, vampires."

Sakura and I clean the room with magic.

On the way, we pass Gaia's team.

"Hey, Mikael!　Don't skip work!"

"Oh, it's so hard!"

Gaius warns Mikael, who is lying on the bed.

Pow!

"Oh, I'm sorry, I dropped my ...... plate. ......"

"Oh my God, get out of the way. I'll pick it up. I'll pick it up. You go over there and change the sheets with Michael's."

Gaius picks up the pieces of the dish that Elise dropped.

"Uh, yeah. ...... thanks."

"...... nothing. Are you hurt?"

"No, I'm fine. ...... ouch."

"Oh, come on, give me a hand. You're so slow. ......"

The brother takes Elise's hand and casts a healing spell.

We watch from a distance.

"That's good, Gaius. Keep up the good work!

"Julius, you're so kind to your brother."

Sakura giggles.

"I love that about you too, handsome."

We leave the place and head for the basement.

The stone room is cool and comfortable.

It just smells a little musty.

[Nuh-ha-ha!　Welcome, lowlife!　You think you can just step into my mansion and get away with it?

"[Purification]"

[This is the light magic of purification ...... noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Boshuuuuuuuuu......!

The disinfection and sterilization is completed by light magic.

"Yuh, Julius-han...... what was that?"

"What, you just disinfected it?"

"No, no, no, no, vampire!　There he is, just now!　There's something really strong out there!"

"Was there such a thing?"

After a blank stare, Sakura giggles.

"I guess a vampire is too small to be measured by your yardstick. You're really a handsome guy."
