Chapter 10 – Lottery
The mansion released more arrows towards me. Without twisting, it flew straight to us.
I knocked all of the arrows down.
I tried to get inside the mansion, but Miu not wanting to get separated kept on clinging.
“Miu?”
She buried her face while kept saying no.
I guess she must be really terrified.
“Then how about we enter the mansion together?”
“—–!”
*Bikun* she trembled.
She lifted her head and looked at me, there was even more tears began flowing out from her eyes.
Ice arrow came flying but I knock it away using backhand chop.
Miu who had just witnessed such action was amazed.
Due to the surprised the tears that Miu had earlier stopped flowing.
“Don’t worry, I’m right here by your side. I will protect Miu properly.”
Miu stared at me for a while motionlessly. While looking down, she said
“Master will not leave me and…… run alone?”
“Hm? Whether I’ll run away alone when things get dangerous?”
“……Yes.”
“I won’t do something like that. If things get dangerous I’ll take you with me first and then run.”
“Really?”
Miu was still doubting me. I wonder why does she have to worry about such thing.
“I won’t run away alone. I still don’t have enough *mofu mofu* afterall.”
“Master still going to do that!?”
Miu said sounding very surprised.
However, the way she was surprised are different from earlier.
Well, the topic is different, confronting with ghost and partner is two different thing after all.
Miu looked at me even more intently (At the same time there was another 2 ice arrows came on our way) and nodded timidly afterwards.
She stopped clinging on me, and instead stand on my side.
She picked up the frill of her maid outfit.
“Yoshi! Here we go.”
“Okay.”
We entered the mansion together.
When we opened the door we were attacked by a cold chill through our body.
“Muu, what is that?”
“What is it?” – Miu
“Over there, there was a shadow at the corner a little while ago.”
“Eeeeeeeh!?”
“Let’s go.”
“Y-yes……”
In the end, tears start to flow out from Miu’s eyes.
With that girl by my side, we turn around to the corridor.”
This it I was able to see the shadow very clearly.
“Maid, huh?
“Eh?”
“Just now you saw it didn’t you. It was wearing something that looked like a maid uniform.”
“I-I didn’t see anything though…?”
“……”
We chase after it. We are even faster than the shadow, we were able to catch up with the shadow after turning a few corner.
Our eyes met, as I thought it was really a maid. I could see a young maiden.
“Miu, how about now?”
“I don’t see anything.”
Miu began to hold her frilly maid outfit and looked even more scared than before.
It is hard to say that Miu had overlook the maiden in front of us. Our eyes met, it only took a few second before she disappeared into another corner.
“In other words, it is only me who can see her.”
While muttering to myself, I run taking Miu away with me.
I go around the mansion. It was quite a s.p.a.cious mansion, I climbed up stairs and go down stairs, goes out to the garden and then went inside again.
And I kept on doing it.
Before long, I managed to chase after that ghost.
I chased after her to the first floor. It’s a place where the sunlight doesn’t hit, a damp place.
It was a place where are a lot of small room just for sleeping was available. Probably it’s a room that was built for the maids to sleep in.
I managed to chase after the ghost there.
When I looked at her carefully once again, this time I confirmed that it’s a young maiden with maid outfit.
But she was transparent that you can see the other side of the wall, and her expression was grim.
Ghost— or rather evil spirit, that is the feeling that I got.
“— !”
The ghost let out an indescribable voice. It was running away from me until a few minutes ago but right now she’s charging to attack.
“Hold on tight!”
While pulling Miu who was very light to my side, I used a counter-punch against the ghost.
I’m not quite sure how effective my punch would be, but I give a lot of effort in that one.
It was a punch which can send the mountain cow at least 10 meters away.
But,
“sukatta!? Dammit so that’s how its work.”
TLN: I don’t even know what it meant… Such noobness.
My punch went through the ghost. Because it was a ghost physical attack won’t work against it, well at least that is how I supposed.
The ghost who my fist went through it earlier went behind our back, however it stopped immediately. Once again charging after us.
This time she came attacking with ice arrow surrounding her entire body like satellite.
“Master!”
“I’m okay.”
I brushed away the ice arrow and avoid her charge.
What should I do?
Suddenly, I remembered about a certain thing.
At the same time, the ghost came flying toward me once again.
Seeing that her arrow doesn’t work, this time she flew solo.
It’s convenient for me as I don’t need to deal with small things.
Using one of my hand, I used a fire magic.
On top of my palm, on big fireball emerged.
“—“
Once again the ghost let out a indescribable voice and her expression changed.
The ghost was. .h.i.t by my magic as they clashed together.
My magic crossed and I turned around.
The ghost right shoulder was on fire.
“You know when you hear it.”
A smile was formed on my lips.
“After that it would be easy.”
I shot out the fireball that was formed in my hand before.
“……”
The ghost disappeared. On the same time, the mansion that was filled with ominous cold air had dissipated too.
“With this everything is setteled.”
I’m quite interested what did the maiden ghost had said before she disappeared, but as there is no way to find it out I decided to forget about it.
“Are you okay?”
I looked at Miu who was still holding onto her maid outfit.
Looking up at me, Miu’s pupils were shining.
“……Miu?”
“Master……Amazing”
“Un?”
“Against a monster that is so strong… very easily…… Master you’re a very strong man.”
“Well there’s no denying it.”
For the mean time I’ll put on airs. It feels good when Miu looked at me admiringly with her sparkling eyes, she will never thing of betraying me.
“If there’s anything, leave it all to me. I will clean it all up by myself.”
“Yes!”
When I declared clearly, Miu admiration towards me getting higher and higher.
Good good, this is gewd.
“That’s right… Work!”
“Un?”
“I was in the middle of cleaning……”
“Ahh, you were disturbed by the ghost right. Well then, please do your work well, I leave it all to you.”
“Okay!”
Miu gave a big nod and bow down her head, and with a quick step she went away.
Looking at her retreating figure who was filled with trust, I remained at the scene while savoring the good time.
After finished savoring the moment I intended to leave but at that moment…
At the place where the ghost dispersed, I saw a piece of paper.
“Was there such thing earlier?”
Thinking that it was quite weird, I approached it and picked it up.
Looking at it intently, I got a feeling that I’ve seen this piece of paper before.
“Lottery ticket…?”
That’s right. Lottery ticket. The ticket that you usually get when you do shopping. And the thing that gave me a chance to come to this world.
The more I looked at it, it was definitely a lottery ticket.
Why would there be such thing here— while I was thinking so.
Lottery ticket—lottery.
I hold on a certain expectiation.
