Volume 10 (1/2)

[]

I will marry Sylphy

Marriage

It is so I never experienced in my previous life

It feels a little premature for that matter

Thus I have a great deal of anxiety

But, h and such a thing is allowed

When I think that the pretty girl is to get , it would be coveted

No, of course I don't intend to do anything that Sylphy hates

However, I was troubled

When I think about it, I don't know e system of this world

At least, I have never seen such a thing as a wedding ceremony until now

Paul didn't hold a wedding ceremony with Lilia either

At best, it's enough to have a celebration by calling people froe

Asura nobles throw parties once they getlike a wedding ceremony

However, e and relationshi+p, the concept of a partnershi+p

But I don't understand it

What is e?

What should a married man do?

What do I do?

16 years have passed since I came to this world and I don't even have such basic common sense

Nohat?

If I don't knoill learn

A person can learn it

If I don't understand, I should ask

”Are you getting married?”

At first, I decided to ask Zanoba (a 26 years old divorcee[Widower][1]) in time for dinner

The place is a dining room in the dormitory

”Over tiave my partner's faifts”

In the case of e in shi+rone, it seeift to the woman's relatives

”Since you're a prince, isn't it easy to get?”

”Yes? For anyone, even if he is a prince, it is natural that the ift”

And then Cliff's head coincidentally pops by

”It's reversed in Milis The faives her a betrothal present”

It has becoular for Cliff to have dinner with us

This is because he has few friends, so it's lonely for him

”Oh, but that's it Don't you lose the woman's family?”

”Instead, theon in the bride's home”

”I see”

Be it Milis or shi+rone, recognition ofconnection between houses

”Oh, a e is different for different races”

”How is it with the Elf Race?”

”The truth is I haven't married Liese yet We have the promise to solve the curse, so I don't know the customs yet Since Liese is different from the other elves she doesn't sees”

We had a long discussion

But talk of a wedding ceremony never came up

Won't there be so ceremony?

There isn't Is it good that there isn't?

”Then if you're to marry someone, what do you need?”

”You're right First is a house?”

”Umu”

Zanoba nodded at Cliff's words

House

A house

”Oh? Why is it suddenly a house?”

”It's obvious In order to getto do without a house”

Looking at Zanoba's face, of course he's nodding

In this world, is it necessary to have a house to marry?

That re?

Was he living in the adventurer's inn until then?

When I[2] asked, he said Philip granted him a house and a job

”Generally girls can't enter the male dore before graduation or to leave the dore Since there isn't a place to live in”

Now that you mention it that certainly seems true

I haven't heard any stories of a couple living in a dormitory

There is no dormitory for married people

There aren't any concepts of long distance or co relationshi+ps here

Basically, a couple lives together

”Anyway, if the daughter is froood place, and the other side has a house, either way you are home free It is resourcefulness that a man prepares”

There's too much male chauvinism in Cliff's words

But is this the common sense of this world even without our families' assistance?

It'd be reasonable that I prepare for such a thing

Rather, she ht be disillusioned with me if I'm not prepared

”I understand First is a house”

Cliff made a suspicious expression when he said so

”Wait Rudeus, are you getting married?”

”Yeah, well”

”With whom?”

A question from Cliff

Soive Sylphy's name

It will definitely be found out at soer?

”It's the person who cured my disease”

”Oh, I see Name?”

”Well, let's leave that as a secret for now”

”I see well, if the partner is from Milis, I'ood with inforratulatory addresses”

”Yes”

So there see in Milis

In japan, the wedding cerearded as particularly awful, but it isn't so here?

However, in this world, it seems to be offensive if you imitate a different sect

I am not a follower of Milis

Neither is Sylphy

”Still, a house A house will be expensive”

”shi+shō, if you do not have enough money shall I lend assistance?”

”Though I would feel asha”

Even I want to maintain my pride as a man

What is the hborhood anyway?

Hopefully s will suffice

”Anyway, I'll check around town tomorrow If it looks impossible, then I'll ask”

”Naturally Rest assured, shi+sho will be able to purchase the biggest house in town”

Zanoba said so and laughed

Royalty doesn't feel any different despite being from a small country

The next day I proceeded to the real estate agent

Normally the local feudal lord would provide fors

However there is no feudal lord in the Magic City Sharia

The Magic Triue the territory

The problem that occurs in situations where there is no lord has been solved by installing a [Real Estate Broker]

Though I don't knohat kind of proble place

I call it a [Real Estate Broker] for convenience, but the official na like that

They buy and sell unoccupied houses, and e vacant land and development

It's like a so-called government office

When I went to one of these real estate agents and said, [I want a house], the receptionist handed me a list

The list of houses on the e

Size of the property, the size of the building, number of rooms, the price, the address, etc

The list ranged from small houses to mansions, each property was very different

”Um”

Honestly, I don't understand how much it cost to buy a house

After all, I wonder about a single-rooood it would be nice to have enough roo

Or wouldn't an apartment like a tenement house work?

Sylphy is the escort of the princess

The house should be good, even without considering the fact that she's an escort

However, because she's an escort, Princess Ariel ht visit

Since that's the case, it would be bad if we had a poor house

Still, I instinctively clutch h-quality house suited for nobles[3]

Should I ask Zanoba for support?

No, I am hesitant to use a friend as a wallet

Especially since I' to buy a modest house

”Um”

I ht come with Sylphy

I wonder if I should consult with the bride about such a large expense

No, in this world a man should purchase the house I also want to impress the woman I like

When I talk to Sylphy I don't want to seem like a miserable excuse for a man

I must show my resourcefulness

”It needs to be large, have many rooms, and the property must be cheap”

I start scanning the list for such a property

Noa house will be expensive for sure

Though it could have been considered normal for a need couple to rent a cheap apartment in my old world

”Oh?”

And there, I found a good property

Right at the end of the list

The property has a single structure

For its size it could be considered a mansion

It is located in a corner of the town, but it isn't far froic University

It is 2-stories, and it also has a basearden

The only problehtly old

The price is surprisingly cheap, less than the half price of a comparable property

If it's this much, I can buy it and still have money left over

”Why is this listing so cheap?”

The staff member shows a bitter smile when I asked

”It's a fact that the mansion is haunted”

”Is it a curse?”

”Yes, around ht you can hear sharp sounds, but even if you look for the sound you won't find anything When you think that the house is ru and try to leave it, the next day you'll be found cruelly murdered”

Are you serious?

Well, I didn't hear the story well

Haunted house

And I wonder if it's evil spirits

There are demons in this world, too

”You didn't exorcise it?”

”A request was given to the Adventurer's Guild, but the adventurers were brutally murdered”

In short, nobody was able to succeed in exorcising it

By the way, the subjugation rank of the request seems to be E

I want to raise the rank, but the budget is lacking and there is also friction with the Adventurer's Guild, which seems difficult in various ways

”Did you ask for help froic Guild?”

”Yes, but they are in a difficult position to interfere with things of this nature, so we can only handle it on our own”

The real estate agent was about to give up on the haunted house

Come to think of it, there was a siical continent

It's certainly a co in this world

”If I succeed in exorcising the house, I don't suppose that you could hand it over for free?”

This guy has a look as if he can't believe what I just asked

Is that so

It seems that they will sell it even if it's troublesome

”I'm sorry, then can we proceed with a temporary contract so I can inspect the property at a later date?

”Then, I'll ask for your name here”

Although I failed in the initial negotiations, I signed the te it

Since there was also a place for references I wrote Deadi and Princess Ariel

Submit

The staff member's face paled a bit when he looked at the contract, then retreated back into the offices

His supervisor appeared immediately

While rubbing his hands together

Did this happen because my name is famous?

No, ht be the reason

Well, whatever

I cut in while they spoke a little and the negotiations were concluded

Furthermore they reduced the price by half

Well, the property was treated like a plague

But I' to complain

A few days later

I went to visit the haunted house

The building itself is firo

In this world, probably because , it may take time for it to rot

The supports are made of solid stone and it has hardwood floors

An intricate building made of stone and wood

Moss and ivy are stuck to its outer walls

However it's a beautiful thing

I i house

”Well, Zanoba-san, Cliff-san, e give up?”

Zanoba and Cliff stand a ways behind me

Although I ah to not attempt this alone

Therefore I asked Zanoba to lend th, he is a man I can rely upon

Zanoba can handle it even if a western doll waving a kitchen knife comes out

Cliff also ca because he had the eyes of someone anted to help out his friends

That said, he's a genius who can use advanced level Exorcisic

If the other party is a demon or evil spirit-based, he will certainly be helpful

”It's a very good house It looks a little cramped, but about this size is this much considered reasonable?”

”Isn't this house too large to live in with only two people? If it was me, first I would buy a small house then save money Then later, if it becomes too small, I would move”

The two opinions contrast

I guess that round

”The price is low for a reason, now let's go”

”You are wise shi+shō, ”

Zanoba starts walking cal that

He has a club in one hand

It is a weapon that I prepared

During subjugation requests being unarth seems to break all of his weapons

So I gave hiic

It's a free weapon to break

Cliff is in the middle

He's clutching his staff, which see around restlessly

Even if the person hi scared

I act as the rear guard and prepare for an attack from behind

It is iic

As for me, who's the most experienced, I'm in the back to also keep a close watch on everyone

I walked over the broken stone pavement to arrive at the entrance

There is a cracked wooden door

One hinge is broken

I better repair this later

”I don't think that there's a risk of a trap, but please be careful”

”Yes, shi+shō”

While watching with ht eye,

Zanoba grabbed the doorknob and just broke it

No hesitation

”Hey, don't break it so suddenly”

”Excuse me The door was distorted and it wouldn't open Renovation would have been necessary anyway”

Apparently, the door that looked safe upon first glance was somehow distorted

”Is that so? But you should say so next time”

”Yes, shi+shō”

Just the answer is fine, Zanoba

Anye entered the house

We saw the lobby immediately

There are stairs going up to the second floor directly in front of us and there are doors on our right and left

There is a corridor leading to the back, near the side of the stairs

Although it's viewed as a haunted house froht

The house's exposure to the sun is good It is a good place

Does a real estate agent regularly clean? There isn'tup

”shi+shō, how should we proceed?”

”First we'll start by investigating the right side of the house, looking through all the rooms I don't think that there are traps, but please be careful where you step because there is a possibility that the floor and ceiling have become rotten”

Zanoba nodded, and Cliff looked back

”You, you look like the real thing, you know”

”For the ti, I am also an A-rank adventurer after all”

”Ah, that's right”

Cliff see

That reminds me, it seemed like he went off on an adventure with Elinalise and [Stepped Leader] the other day, but I never heard any details

How did it turn out?

”That reo the other day?”

”It was harsh”

”Well, they are all S-ranked”

It probably wasn't that harsh for every member of [Stepped Leader]

I understand that their partner is a rookie

They ht not have been very considerate of that fact since it was their intention to educate him about this and that

However, it's another story if Cliff didn't think of it like that

”What should I do?”

”Please attack with Exorcisic if you find an enemy”

”I understand What should I do if that doesn't defeat the spirit?”

”Please withdraw, Zanoba or I will handle it”

When I said that, Cliff made a face that seemed offended

I follow up

”Because if Cliff-senpai uses ed”

Cliff seems to be convinced when I say that

I had better let the beginner get a hit in

You use Exorcisic if you find an enemy

That's the first wave of attack

Then I'll join in if that doesn't work

”Zanoba There is a possibility that a de, so please be careful”

”Leave it to me”

Unexpectedly Zanoba has a warrior's temperament and was not scared at all

Reassuring

I enter the door to the right of the lobby

It was a large room

The room was around the size of 20 tatami mats[5]

It ell lit, there was a large fireplace against the wall towards the back of the room

I wonder if this place is the living roo room?

The fireplace becomes a concern

”Cliff-senpai, this fireplace, could it be a ic tool?”

”Here, I will know if I try to examine it”

Cliff was just about to go look around the back of the fireplace

”Stop There may be an enemy”

We'll stop there, I'll inspect the fireplace

”Um”

Winters around here are cold, so heating is important

If the fireplace is a ic tool, then the whole house will become warm

If it isn't[6], then we'll consider re

No! In the cold, Sylphy and I hugging each other naked is ill keep us warood fireplace is still hard to pass up

”Get ready, when I start forcing air through the fireplace anything like a de out”

And to draw its attention, with h the fireplace's chimney

Nothing happens

I listen carefully, but there isn't any sign that so

Some soot fell down from the chimney

I wonder if I should trya fire in it at least once while we're here

If there's a hole or so in the chimney and it starts a fire, that would be unpleasant

Anyway, I decided to go and take a look through from the bottom

I could see the sky from the depths of the chimney

For the tiht it and try to maintain the fire for a moment

There is no sign that anything is lurking

It should be all right

”Cliff-senpai, thank you for waiting”

”All right”

Cliff investigated the inside of the fireplace and discovered a ic circle immediately

As expected, since he has been exaic tools and curses recently

”It is usable?”

”I don't understand how the fire works, but it seeic”

”Is that so, thank you”

All right

I nodded and we moved to the next room

Looking froht

The floor in this roo like a stove

Perhaps this is the kitchen

A piece of cloth is on the ground near the stove, and when I went to pick it up I noticed it was a piece of tattered apron

Sylphyto cook for me in a naked apron here

If I think about that, it is so to be excited about

Innovation, and then remorse

We're here to get rid of the evil spirits

It's not the situation to be getting up [7]

I checked the stove and anywhere else that see place

”All right, there is nothing unusual, next”

On the way, I look at the rooms in sequence

I discovered a door to the basement behind the stairs

I advance to the next room counter-clockwise

There is nothing unusual

There were places where the dust has piled up a little, but these rooms are so beautiful you wouldn't think of them as over a hundred years old

Did the former residents even do repairs?

”Is this the last room?”

I finished inspecting the rooround floor

Although I knew by looking at the floor plan, this mansion is symmetrical

However, there was no stove in the kitchen on the other side

That roo

Maybe for laundry

But, let's call it a kitchen for the ti

2 kitchens

2 large rooms

4 small rooms

2 toilets

I get the i two sether

The only staircase is the one near the entrance

”The basement or the upper floor Which place is more likely to have a demon?”

”I guess the basement”

”It will be the basement”

Unanimously it was decided that we check the basement first

The door to the basement is attached to the back of the stairs to the upper floor

A door which requires a key and looks like a storeroom

The stairs leading into the basement were dark

I light the lamps which I prepared and handed them to Zanoba and Cliff

”I'll use ht eye to support from the rear Don't part with the laerous, I can't support you if I can't see”

”Wahaha, I a I fear”

While spitting out a reliable death flag, Zanoba goes down the stairs

Be more careful

Thereout as soon as you open a door

We arrived at the basement

”H”

The basement was deserted

Some wooden shelves were lined up side-by-side

It feels like an empty warehouse

I light up the dark roo

There is a little stain on the wall, but it doesn't particularly look like blood

Towards the end of the wall board, there's just a little rot

This is We have to accept this for the ti

There isn't a demon

That was anticlimactic

”Okay, so the upper floor is next”

We go out of the basement and head back to the lobby

Then we carefully go up the stairs to the upper floor

The wooden stairs don't make a sound They're solid

We in to inspect the rooms one by one

The upper floor was also symmetrical

There are two slightly larger roo rooms

The other rooms are six tatami side-by-side

There are a total of 8 rooms

4 small rooms of about six tatami[8]

2 rooms of about twelve tatami

The middle room which leads to the bedroom had an area of about six tatami

In addition, there was the balcony in the middle room, too

”Hm”

Let's put a big bed in the bedroom

A bed large enough to fit three people lying down

Maybe I could combine two normal beds

No, sleeping huddled in a small bed isn't that bad

You'll be hen you wake up fro side by side

Being sexually active, with Sylphy's chest to e within arm's reach

It isn't too bad

Anyway, the bed is important since I use it every day

Oops, of course it isn't limited to erotic purposes

It's also to sleep in every day

”Cliff-senpai”

”What is it? Did you find what it was?”

”Do you think a bigger bed is better when you use it as a couple?”

”Ah?”

Cliff falls silent for approximately several seconds

Thinking

He inhales suddenly

And sighed

”It is Such a 'thing' is also important, but it's rude to the other party if you are always like that”

”Yeah Hm, is that so”

His words are persuasive for some reason

I wonder what Elinalise would do

As soon as they are alone in a room, Elinalise would attack Cliff with bloodshot eyes

I can't iine it easily[9]

I will take it to heart

Oh, apart froer?

”Phew, there isn't”

I said with a sigh after looking around the last rooms

”So, as planned, let's spend a night here”

”Yes Thank you”

I didn't expect to see the proble for it today

Originally, it's a story of a guy that appears in the ht

Along with a sharp sound

It's a creepy story

Perhaps some kind of demon has settled down here

I don't know of a dehost or any another demon

I didn't think that it was a strong demon when I was in town, but carelessness is bad because the low rank adventurers that failed the request are now dead

Unexpectedly, you don't knohether a ho else has made this their headquarters either

There's a kirikiri sound sharply picking at the entrance

No, the door was broken Then is it the back door?

A smell doesn't do for it[10]

Isn't there a line?

Um, I don't know

Are three people enough? I should have also brought Elinalise just to make sure

In her experience, acquired through age, shelike this

But to be honest, I feel like I can't put up with her in a sexual sense

A shadow that coht

The temptation that is whispered in the ear

[Cliff is sleeping in the other room]

[No, it is not okay]

I also understand that

It's not good

I made an announcement at the end of the second floor, from just outside the bedroom

”I ait here tonight YouI'ht”

”Hmm Julie will be worried”

”I'm also worried about Liese”

The two people spoke their worries about the woman whom they each left

Julie's a smart child

However I understand that she's considered a slave as well

In the corners of the male dormitory, many of the nobles like to prowl indiscriminately

But Zanoba doesn't need to worry

Elinalise is a woman who is lascivious

I also know that she is popular

She e of when Cliff isn't there tonight

It will be a worry for him

In contrast, how about my Sylphy?

She will escort the princess today

It's as usual, nothing to worry about

No, I said I would go out today, but I didn't say that I was going to stay out

Possibly, sheto bed

However, I am not there

Sylphyin a cold corridor

A voice echoes out [Rudi's late] all alone

I'm worried about it

”The night will fall soon”

At Zanoba's words, I look out and see the sunset's reflection in the

I can't tell her before tonight

Sylphy would have already returned to the girl's dormitory

No, even without saying it directly, if I write soht

All right, let's do it, let's do it now

Oh wait

What will these two do while I'm out

It is regrettable

For the ti, I'm the leader of this party

Well it's a little thing

Even Sylphy will understand it, if I explain it properly later

No, but I heard soo

The accu crack later on

da about this

During such a ti on purpose, I

”Zanoba”

”What's the matter?”

”When this request is over, I'll get married”

”Yes It is sorandly in this mansion”

Zanoba nodded while looking puzzled

My bad

I had a bad feeling I wouldn't make it out the front door

I felt that it would be iive us your blessing] while riding the mood here

That For the ti in my breast pocket

And, although I thought that, I have no breast pocket

It is not possible to suddenly stop a flying 357 num bullet like this

Cliff interrupted ht

”Invite Liese and me to the celebration”

”Isn't that natural?”

”It's okay if you take ranted, but I would feel sorry for Liese to be left out”

Because Cliff is a guy who cannot read the lum

Pitiful guy

I'll invite him properly

Of course, Elinalise also

Ah

Nevertheless, I am a man

I want to end this quickly and rub Sylphy's breasts

No, I will strongly endure for now

Because I will have many troubles later

While I considered this, it becahttime

On the other hand, Sylphy heard the information that Rudeus had prepared a house for the a pillohile re her delusion

We will take turns keeping watch at night

Two people sleep while the other is the lookout

If there is an abnor people immediately

It's such an arrangement

That said, I'll wake them up by all means if there's a particular ”Kirikiri” sound

The roo in is the same one in which the previous resident was cruelly murdered

It's a room at the end of the hall on the upper floor

It may be related to the place that a demon appears

I can't really think of this kind of thing being caused by some sort of homeless thief, but if it is then it would ease my mind
