Chapter 18
Chapter 18 . Guild’s request .
The things that I’ve bought was to be delivered to the mansion, I exited the Firm and dwelled in a thought while I was walking aimlessly . Probably, if I were to spent 300 silver then I would get 1 lottery ticket .
I didn’t get any lottery ticket from the trivial shopping that I did . It was at the moment when I paid for Miu’ and the painting’s bill that I got a lottery ticket . After I bought the bracelet for 1 600 silver coins, did I got 5 lottery tickets .
Then, it would make sense if I were to deduct that 300 silver coins is equal to 1 lottery ticket . As such, there is one thing that I am quite interested in . I recalled the prize list .
The fourth prize, 50 % off shopping ticket .
When I got the 50% off shopping ticket, I wonder would I still get 1 ticket for 300 silver coins or 1 ticket for 150 silver coins? I want to draw the lottery .
Currently I have about 7 lottery tickets, following this fashion I only have to save up 3 more lottery tickets before I can draw it for 11 times . In other words, 900 silver coins . Though it doesn’t seem like I can earn that much in the nearest time .
I think for a while and use the Warp Wing to teleport . The wilderness between Roizen and Reis city, I rode a horse and pass through it . There, I said to Eleanor,
“Can you summon the zombie from the other day?”
“The Undead Army, what are you trying to do all of the sudden?”
“Let’s not talk about that, please summon them . . ”
Eleanor went to the lottery room before, but of course she cannot see the lottery ticket .
It would be quite troublesome to explain so I just asked for her help .
“Are you trying to order me around, even arrogance have its limit . ”
Though Eleanor said that, a moment after that I can see the ground tremble .
She did complained, but she never said no .
I re-do my grip on Eleanor . I want to beat zombie or maybe skeleton so I can get the lottery ticket . That was the plan that I had devised but,
“Eh?”
(Eh?)
Me and Eleanor voice were heard in synchronicity .
Eleanor had summoned them but, the skeletons didn’t appeared . In exchanged, a young girl appeared . It was a young girl wearing a maid outfit, I felt like I’ve seen her before . “… . . The ghost from the mansion?” My murmur was proven to be true .
Yeah, from her looks, she looked like the ghost that I had exorcised at the mansion .
However she doesn’t have those menacing aura like she did back at the mansion, although she looked translucent, other than that she looked completely like a young girl .
(Where is this place?)
“We are between Roizen and Reis city . ”
(I know Roizen, but what is Reis?)
It seemed like she can hold a normal conversation .
“Eleanor, what is happening?”
(I want to know that too!)
“Where’s the army of zombie?”
(I’ve been trying to summon them since earlier but there was no response . This is the first time it had ever happen . )
Looks like she was not lying . From the voice that resonated in my head, I can feel Eleanor was greatly troubled by it .
“Try summon and summoning the ghost in front of us like what you did with your undead army . ”
(I understand . )
The ghost disappeared for a while and then reappeared . Disappeared and reappeared . Disappeared and reappeared .
“Looks like it is possible . . ”
(How can it be?)
“How would I know . ”
What I know is, the one Eleanor can summon is no longer the undead army from before but instead it was changed to this young girl .
And then, my method of getting easy lottery ticket had gone .
☆
(My name is Tania, Tania Chiciakiss . )
“Tania huh? My name is Yuuki Kakeru, do you know me?”
I asked that because I can feel Tania was staring at me for quite a while .
(Yes, you are that person who entered the mansion . )
“Ah, so you do remember . ”
(Yes, I just remembered it—-, wait I’m away from the mansion!?”
“You’ve never been away from the mansion before?”
(Un . I was trapped there . It was very boring, and when I looked at other people being so happy I was becoming more and more angry as time passed, and thus I’ve became a resentful ghost . )
“To cut long story short, it’s how you became a bound ghost huh?)
I can see the main point in her story .
Although I don’t quite understanding it, but it is possible to summon the ghost from the mansion using Eleanor as the medium .
(Is possible the one who took me away from the mansion was you kakeru?”
“I can’t be sure about that, but that could be the case . ”
“Really!? Thank you!”
Tania came hugging me . She’s a ghost, can she even hug me?
(Thank you Kakeru!)
When I looked at Tania bright smile, I couldn’t help but think that this is a whole lot better than a zombie and skeleton .
☆
When I got back to the mansion, Andrew from Andrew Firm was already there .
Now that I think of it, even though we always see each other when he bought the mountain cows off me, this is the first time we met in my mansion .
We sat facing each other in the reception room .
“Is there anything that I can do for you?”
“There is something that I need your help with . ”
“Is it regarding the mountain cow?”
“No, I have no such problem on that part… . But, leaving the mountain cow matter aside, I hope you can help me with this one thing . ”
“Did something happened?”
“Do you know the matter regarding Alexis?”
“Alexis… Ah, that four-man party?”
Andrew nodded .
Talking about Alexis, he was the leader of the four-man party who gave me the chance to enter Andrew Firm . After the first meeting, I’ve always go there to deliver the mountain cows so I met him quite a lot and we even had a chat together for a few times .
He was the ace for Andrew Firm however he was beaten to it by me .
“Is there something happened to Alexis?”
“He sustained a grave injury . ”
“Mu?”
I knit one of my eyebrows .
“Actually a few days ago, there was an outbreak of monster in a certain place . Originally there was nothing eventful happens on that place, however suddenly an outbreak occurred so a request for monster subjugation had been passed down at the guild .
Guild, was there something like that here?
“The monsters aren’t really strong, however the speed of them multiplying was not something that is normal . After doing their investigation, the guild had sent all affiliated adventurer to that place . There the situation turned into 50/50 . ”
“I can see where the story is going . So, Alexis who was by chance hunting at that place was gravely injured, is that what you’re trying to say . ”
“You’re right . To add more, everyone in Alexis party were gravely injured to the point that they might be bedridden for about a month . After Alexis and party withdrawn from the battle, the condition had turned for the worst . ”
“To put it simple, you’d like for me to do something about the monster outbreak?”
“Yes, that would be the case . Of course we will be giving out the rewards . Honestly speaking, this is the biggest pinch that the guild had since it first day of establishment . They even willing to pay whatever amount it would take for this request to be completed . ”
“I understand . ” I replied immediately . I will get the reward for beating the monster . While I’m at that, I’ll be able to collect the lottery ticket after I’ve beaten the monster .
☆
To participate with the subjugation, I need to register at the guild . It seems like they want people to know that the one who defeated the monsters are someone from the guild affiliation . Well that is fine by me but somehow getting a rank D as I had just registered made me feel uneasy .
First off, I do know that I would be starting from the beginning, but when I asked around it looks like Alexis party rank was A, so I think about increasing my rank after I finished subjugating all the monster .
I was led by the a man from the guild to where the monster outbreak had happened but,
“Oi, what’s with scenery . I feel like I’ve seen this before . ”
(……)
Eleanor didn’t utter a word .
“What’s more, I think I’ve seen the monsters before too . ”
（――♪）
Eleanor was whistling inside my head .
There’s a limit to being pretentious .
The place that I was brought to was a forest that was nearby to the place where I saved Mari a
few days ago .
From the far distant, the monsters that the adventurers were fighting against were the skeletons and the zombie, monster that I had collection of .
“I’m going to lecture you later . ”
“I am not at fault . ”
I draw Eleanor who was emitting a dark aura and head toward the monster .
The monster who was looking at me and Eleanor direction was clearly frightened that they retreated .
I’m sorry but, unlike the soldier . I won’t let you off .
TLN: He was saying that to the monster .
