Chapter 177 (2/2)

“And you were to suddenly bump onto Aria,”

“… We would be unable to catch Danna-sama.”

“And so we will move together forever!”

“Yes. In sickness and in health.”

In sickness and in health has nothing to do with it right now… But from their eyes I can see how serious they are.

“… Leaving aside for now the thing about ‘in sickness and in health’… It’s true that if I were to meet with Aria alone I would run away without a doubt… Fine, let’s move together.”

Because is evident that I would flee if I were to be alone, we decided to move together.

We started by exploring the first floor first.

“Before we start searching… It would defeat the purpouse of us coming here if we were to pass by Aria while we are searching the inside so I think someone has to stay in the entrance door just in case.”

When I say that, the girls give me an unpleasant look. It seems that they all want to go with me. I’m glad you feel like that and I also want to look with all of you but I really think someone has to stay here. While I was pondering what to do, a hand rises from behind the girls.

“Then I shall remain.”

Freud takes the initiative to stay behind. Let’s take him upon his offer.

Freud… I won’t forget you…

“Wazu-sama, I’m still alive.”

I can’t hear you~~

I bowed to Freud for the time being in gratitude for staying here and started exploring the first floor with the girls.

The first floor had a dinning room and a living and more stuff to entertain people but after looking in the whole floor, let alone Aria, we found nobody. In our exploration we also searched the floor but it seems that there is no basement so we moved to the second floor.

The second floor, unlike the first floor, is where people live and it has many rooms. The people that lived here seemed to like reading as there are a lot of bookshelfs left. Well there are just the shelfs left…

And the only room left to search is the one in the corner of the second floor. If you think about the owner of the mansion it might be a study… We haven’t met anyone up until here so if there is someone in this mansion should be here… It might also be that the door of the mansion opened on itself…

I make up my mind, open the door and get inside.

“Ya! You finally came, I got tired of waiting.”

Inside there was no furniture, just a desk and a person sitting on that desk was giving an innocent smile towards us.

That guy was wearing all blacks, and was covering his face with a hood… it was the man that send Meru towards Haosui’s place.
