Chapter 84 – 10. The Haunted Mansion Is Inhabited by Ghosts
“Come here!”
Doors wide open on both sides.
Unlike the dark hallway, I saw a room illuminated by a soft blue light.
The appearance inside did not deviate in the slightest from Siu and Rosalyn’s expectation that the owner of the room would be a viscount young lady. And a bed decorated with frills attached to one wall. A woman was lying on it.
A woman who is covered in white and cannot be seen by a living person.
She slowly turned her head away from her pale face.
-Intruder…
The ghost’s face was normal for a ghost.
The more resentment and despair engulfed it, the more it would deviate from its human form, but except for its pale, bloodless face, the ghost looked similar to its original appearance. Except for the blonde hair fluttering in the air and the sparkling eyes.
-Kyahaha. Did you come this far?
“…”
A ghostly voice that sounds like it’s ringing in your head, not your ears.
Siwoo hesitated a little, then gave a signal to Rosalyn behind him with his finger, and himself loosened his posture.
‘Leader?’
‘Wait a minute. Maybe the conversation will work.’
‘… All right.’
Anything solved without a fight is best.
Rosalyn thought the same, so she nodded and pulled the arrow out of the string she was pulling. Still, she did not let go of her tension so that she could immediately go into battle. In case of emergency, you can make a fuss with her so that other colleagues can come, and you can just waste time.
“Are you the owner of this mansion?”
-Huh. That’s right. Maybe it’s the former owner. Curry.
‘As expected, he must have heard what we were saying.’
“Okay, I think the story will go well.
But the ghost cut his tongue and shook his head.
-No.
“…”
-That’s funny. Why do I have to go I still have a lot of unresolved grudges, right?
She smiled and smiled mischievously, not like a ghost.
However, Siu got a positive signal despite the ghost’s refusal. His hair, which had been fluttering wildly, also calmed down a little, and the dreary glow in his eyes also subsided somewhat. It was proof that the ghost was liking them.
‘I wonder if I should appease him for now.’
“By the way, my name is late. My name is Siwoo Han.”
-Han Si-woo?
A naming method that is clearly different from this world. At that moment, the ghost’s eyes began to sparkle in a different way than before.
“Huh? By the way?”
-Ah! Then you are a warrior after all?!
“Uh, that’s right?”
-And! Warrior! Warrior! What’s the grade? What’s the grade?
“…Class A.”
-Class A?! A grade?! In this brave country of drought?! You’re so young!? Oh my god!!
“…”
A ghost that jumps and jumps in bed like a child.
Siwoo and Rosalyn couldn’t hide their embarrassment at the unexpected appearance. Yes, it was only 10 years ago that the ghost died, so it is impossible not to know about the hero, and at that time it was a more gloomy hero poor country than it is now. But is it something to be happy about?
“Even a ghost can jump like that…”
“…”
Ignoring Rosalyn’s strange point of admiration heard from behind, the moment Siwoo was about to open his mouth, the ghost struck again this time. But the content of the words was what he wanted.
-I’ll do you two favors!
“Ask…”
-Huh! Ask! If I can achieve that, I think I can become a Buddha too!
Why?
Siwoo felt an unknown anxiety even though he was supposed to be happy. The brightly shining ghost’s eyes never seemed to ask for a normal favor. Moreover, there is no guarantee that the request will be completed in a short time.
“Leader?”
After hesitating for a long time without answering, Rosalyn called out to him.
-Ask… Won’t listen… ?
A ghost with a sullen expression, as if shocked. Of course, even in the midst of that, things around him, including the ghost’s hair, were constantly rising into the air, threatening them.
“Haa. Let’s listen. What are you asking for?”
– It’s simple! One, put me in the warrior party!
“…What?”
The first request the ghost brought out was far beyond expectations.
-Lol. I originally wanted to be a member of the warrior party, right? So, I also trained hard on magic. But her mother forced her to get engaged because she couldn’t send her only heir. Even that ultimately failed.
“…”
– Honestly, do you know how unfair it is!? I got engaged to a man I didn’t want, but he was a cheater and killed my whole family including me! … Well, even though I’m taking my revenge very painfully. Lol.
‘You’re doing it?’
Progress, not completion. It wasn’t a mistake to say the wrong thing. In other words, it seemed that the ghost was still harassing the trickster by some means. He doesn’t know if the impostor is dead or alive.
‘It’s amazing in many ways.’
No matter how much revenge is alive or dead, it is not a story to be laughed at either way. But the ghost spoke as if it were very amused. Rather than being evil in nature, he is still more innocent. If it strays that much, it will be dangerous.
After thinking for a moment, he delayed his answer.
“Whoa. It’s a party. I’ll think about that a bit more. What about the second one?”
-Second is… Lol.
“…?”
The ghost smiled shyly. It was similar to, but different from, the excitement he had when he asked for the first request. He was happy but very shy, which made Siwoo even more anxious.
-I’m there? Ever since I was young, I’ve been devoted to magic. Then, when I wanted to become stronger, I ran away to a training center… No, I was caught trying to hide it. What is it? They were brought to the capital in that state and engaged! Died within two months!
“…So what do you want to say?”
-… Lol. That… There you are. Therefore… Ugh, me too… Do it, I want to try it…
“…”
The appearance of the shy ghost was very cute, but what he said was not at all.
-What… Why are you both unresponsive? I want to try it too! Love affair! Sex! Mating! Intense night play between men and women! Want to try it!
“Virgin ghost…”
-Okay! I’m a virgin, what can I do! There’s nothing you can do! In the first place, there are only two virgins in this world?! She is said to be a losing warrior, very… What?
The ghost’s eyes, which had been burning with anger, changed to ghastly.
Rosalyn flinched at her sharp, penetrating eyes.
No matter how Rosalyn’s expression changed, the ghost’s eyes were only looking at one place.
-You… Are you a virgin? Why? Isn’t it a warrior party?
“Oh, no, that…”
“It’s been a few days since I graduated. Now I have to win one by one.”
Siwoo said as he approached the bed where the ghost was lying. In the meantime, he seemed more relaxed as if he had changed his mind. Seeing that, the ghost gripped her coverlet tightly with her thin fingers, as if she were slightly nervous.
“So, two favors like that?”
-Uh? Yes. No, that’s right
“Okay. Let’s go through each one first.”
– You want to point it out? Not listening?
Her ghostly eyes widened. Siwoo’s appearance to her seemed like a tricky interviewer rather than helping her to become a Buddha. The ghost she thought would be right was the face she didn’t understand, and that was the same for Siu.
“You wanted to join the warrior party.”
-That, right?
“You want to go in there and play a warrior party?”
-No way! Absolutely not!
“Isn’t it? We are the same. I can’t bring in a bunch of dummies. I still have only five people in my party, but all of them are talented people with good prospects and excellent skills. I’m thinking of creating a clan, but I don’t want my party to have holes.”
-…
With every word right, the ghost lost her words.
She was the one who stopped updating her information from 10 years ago, but she thought that her version of the hero would be roughly the same. She has just graduated from the training school, and she knows how ridiculous it is that she is an A-class.
Furthermore, the real purpose of the warrior party is to lead the war against the demons to victory. As we know that Class A is the main strength of the warriors, here, even if the goal is to attain Buddhahood as a ghost, it is not a matter of recklessly accepting it.
“From what I’ve seen, it doesn’t look like you want to come to the party as a formality. At least you’re planning to be there for a few months or years?”
-Yes…
“Then we need to verify more clearly. Right or wrong.”
– No, that’s right…
Siwoo immediately overturns the advantage and puts pressure on the ghost.
Rosalyn, who was watching the scene in front of the door, admired it.
It was clear that Siwoo was making an excuse because he didn’t want to invite the ghost to the party. Or take your time The duration of the divine buff is short, so it’s difficult to fight here. So if we had to fight, we had to call the members.
‘It’s also the captain. His judgment of the situation is very good.’
She looked at Siu happily, but the specifications of her that came out of the ghost’s mouth were unimaginable.
-6, 6 levels.
“…What?”
-Me… A level 6 necromancer.
“Level 6? Really? Isn’t that a lie?”
-Really! It was I who made my body into a ghost and fixed it to the real world!
6 levels.
It is a level that can be A-class without mission achievement. And depending on how hard you try, you can even aim for S rank. She said that at the time the ghost died, she had just reached adulthood. She was an unbelievable talent for a 6th level at that age.
Belluna, the red mage who was in charge of the physical examination, who still keeps in touch with Siu, was level 6. Even considering her age and the blood of her warrior party, she sounds like a genius, but the ghost in front of her eyes is on the same level as Bell Luna.
‘Is that possible?’
-You don’t believe that?
“Of course. If you’re level 6, you’ll just get the viscount wherever you go.”
Hehe. But is it really level 6? Mm, of course, I’m a ghost now and I have to endure in the real world, so I can only use my strength up to about level 5, but… Strong though!
“…”
Siu was in deep trouble.
If she’s a true 6th level she’ll be a formidable force. There is a high probability that she is an underground spirit, so she is tied to the mansion, and since she is in a ghost state, she will need strict verification through the main school, etc., But even considering that, she was a waste.
‘Haha, damn it. This is very difficult… What?’
“…Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve heard the name yet…”
-Ah. Did you? I’m Gwen Washdish!
‘Gwen.’
I asked just in case, but it was a name I had never heard of.
As a member of the non-continental demon side. It’s not a rare name, but it’s very likely that the ghost in front of you is the same person as the blond ghost necromancer who was a human before he died. Clearly, Gwen in the first playthrough hated the Kingdom of Palania and the All Hundred Sages.
‘These crazy bastards. I don’t know what he did, but he didn’t achieve normal Buddhahood.’
A necromancer enough to take charge of one legion of demons after 10 years.
Her option of not recruiting her was gone.
“Okay. I’ll put you in the party.”
-Really?! Wow!!
The warrior party is thoroughly warrior-oriented. Especially if it’s a male warrior. So there was no problem with arbitrarily bringing in new colleagues without the consent of the other members. Even if that wasn’t the case, Siu had the confidence to convince them.
-Then, please do me the second favor!
“…Ah.”
-Sex! Sex!! Sex-!!
