Thanks for all those comments and feedback.

Original:

Haosui heard from the receptionist some info of where Aria might be, so once again being led by Kagane we headed to the mansion that is in the outskirts of the noble’s district. I walk in the front and while following Kagane, I drop my shoulders and let out a sigh.

I’m still depressed from what the receptionist said… She didn’t have to go that far… for starters, Meru is the real deal and I’m the most aware of the ordinariness of my face… ugh…

I tell my self that I can’t keep being like this so I slap twice my cheeks and change gears. We might meet Aria in a moment. I told the girls that I might flee so I asked them to hold me down if I were to do that. But now that I think it through, the place that Aria is might be also the place where the Hero party is, right? Don’t wanna… I don’t want to meet Hero-sama… Can’t we make it so that I talk with just Aria?

No matter how much I think I can’t come up with a good idea and while thinking that, we start seeing the place of our destination. While we get close we take a peek inside and discover an ordinary two-story mansion with a small garden. But even if it’s in the Noble’s District, there is nobody guarding the entrance, in the garden the only tree is wilting and it’s full of weed, the windows are blocked with wood planks probably so that the interior doesn’t get burned by the sun, and we can’t look inside. No matter how you look at it, it’s not a place where people live. Is Aria really here?

While we were dubiously looking the mansion, we saw the door open a little. Is people actually inside? I see, they might be here because a request. If that’s so, let’s check the inside just in case…

Rather, is it okay for us to just go inside? While I was thinking that…

“… There’s no problem, nobody lives here. It’s just that sometimes you can see people inside so they call it a haunted mansion or so the person in the guild told me. I also got permision to enter.”

Haosui told me that. What about a haunted mansion?! That’s the first time I hear that! Wait a minute… If there really is a ghost, would our attacks work on it…? That unsettles me… if it comes to it I’ll just use deification and erase it…

When I turn to check on the girls, they all look calm. Eh? Are you not afraid? It’s a ghost you know? A ghost. When I tell them that they answer that they are not afraid… They are so strong… Haa… I look foolish for being scared… No I’m not afraid!! If I say I’m not afraid then I’m not afraid!!

I confirm with everyone else with one word and we all go inside the mansion.

The inside seems to be cleaned periodically becasue I can’t see any dust accumulating in the floor… Freud slithers to the desk besides the entrance and traces his finger on its surface and says ‘…fumu’ after checking it. I kind of want to ask him who does he thinks he is.

Nothing will come from us being standing here so we decided to explore the inside of the mansion.

“I’ll look on the first floor so you girls…”

“””Will come with you!”””

“… Eh?”

Why? That’s inefficient.

“You told us Wazu-san,”

“To not let you run away when you meet Aria-san.”

“But if we were to move separately,”
