Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"Miss Sakashita, is there something unclean in this villa?"

"Eh?"

Sakashita Chiwa's expression froze for a moment, and she looked at her in disbelief.

Although she didn't give a direct answer, the expression on Sakashita Chiwa's face said it all.

She just couldn't understand why the other person could see the problem at a glance, even though the secret had never been revealed.

"Looks like I need to reintroduce myself."

Fujimaru Ritsuka took out a business card, handed it to the other person, and smiled:

"My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, and I currently run a secret agency."

Chaldea Mystery Agency

After reading the text on the business card, Sakashita Chiwa looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka again, her expression becoming somewhat strange.

She truly hadn't expected that the guests she was hosting would happen to be professionals in the paranormal field, and that they seemed to be genuinely knowledgeable.

This is a bit awkward.

However, she knew that the current situation was beyond her control, so she apologized to Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others:

"Excuse me, I need to contact the manager."

She quickly dialed the phone and explained the situation. A short while later, a slightly overweight, balding middle-aged man arrived.

"I am extremely sorry for making such a terrible cover-up!"

Just as he reached Fujimaru Ritsuka, before she could even speak, she quickly prostrated herself on the ground in a perfectly executed dogeza (a traditional Japanese kowtow) to express her apology.

Unfortunately, all she wanted to say was, if apologies were enough, what would be the point of having police?

However, because she still had something to ask, she first asked the other person to stand up, and then asked:

Do you know why this kind of villa would have something like this?

"Yes."

The other party confessed truthfully.

In fact, no accidents have ever happened to the villa itself. It's just that the area was originally a cemetery, and it was later bought by a land developer and converted into a villa.

After the villa was built, many people came to see it, but each time a potential buyer saw it, they felt uncomfortable, so it remained unsold.

The shoppers who accompanied the customers to view the properties shared the same sentiment.

Initially, they suspected that some equipment in the villa was malfunctioning or that the layout was unreasonable, but after checking several times, they found no problems.

They had also asked a high-ranking monk to perform rituals, but it was to no avail.

However, since no major problems occurred in the villa throughout the entire process, they did not disclose the situation and continued to sell the house as a normal villa.

But to their surprise, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others immediately saw the problem.

"I guarantee with my personal integrity and the reputation of my company that there are absolutely no problems with the facilities and configuration of this villa!"

"Is this so"

After listening to the other party's explanation, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to be deep in thought, and looked at the villa in front of her again.

Building houses on former cemeteries was actually a very common thing, and she herself didn't mind it.

Humans have lived on this land of Tokyo for so many years, so in theory, people may have died everywhere, and there are countless graves, just like in other places.

What she was more concerned about were the paranormal phenomena existing in the villa.

The moment she saw the villa, she sensed a faint trace of a curse within it.

However, this curse was not man-made or targeted; it was more like an unconscious accumulation of resentment, and it was already very weak.

This level of resentment is indeed unlikely to have a serious impact.

At most, it might make people feel uncomfortable, and long-term residence in such an area could lower their resistance and weaken their bodies.

From this perspective, the other party is probably not lying.

And these resentments probably come from the dead in the cemetery.

But

"Senior, what should we do now?"

Mashu's question pulled her back to reality. Looking at the anxious manager and saleswoman in front of her, she smiled and said:

"Let's take a look at the rooms first."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 252 Sudden Event: Leonardo da Vinci's Major Discovery, A Different World?

Because of this incident, during the house viewing process, not only the saleswoman, Chiwa Sakashita, but also the manager, Yuta Kawauchi, who had just arrived, accompanied them throughout and explained things very diligently.

In the end, Fujimaru Ritsuka still chose to buy the villa.

As manager Yuta Kawauchi said, apart from the paranormal issues, the villa itself is of very good quality and there are basically no other problems.

As for the slight resentment that existed in the villa, it was resolved during the house viewing without anyone having to intervene.

This is thanks to the bracelet on Fujimaru Ritsuka's right hand, the [Phantom Warhorse Mane].

As a Valentine's Day return gift from Georgios, it is itself an ornament made from the mane of the Phantom Horse, which is originally a Noble Phantasm, and is also inscribed with the prayers of saints and saintesses, possessing a powerful purifying effect.

In the world of sorcery, she once lent it to Nanami Kento, a first-level sorcerer, which saved his life but also severely injured a special-level sorcerer.

Let alone this slight resentment, even if Kayako came, she would only be purified.

Of course, one thing at a time, compensation is inevitable for the dishonest behavior of Kawauchi Yuta and others.

First, the transaction price of the villa will be discounted according to the type of rehabilitated house. At the same time, an additional 10 million yen will be deducted from the price.

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka wasn't short of money, at least the other party's apology was sincere, so the deal was quickly finalized.

"Thank you so much!"

Yuta Kawauchi was also pleasantly surprised, not expecting that the other party would not only not take the opportunity to demand compensation, but would also buy this villa that was difficult to sell.

However, considering the mysterious agency the other party ran, coupled with their ability to spot problems at a glance, he wasn't so surprised.

Judging from the current situation, Fujimaru Ritsuka is a truly capable person, so she should be able to deal with the filth in the villa, right?

Afterwards, he also actively exchanged business cards with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Working in this industry, he often encounters haunted houses and therefore frequently needs to invite masters to perform rituals to resolve them.

For example, this villa, which was just sold, had previously been the site of a religious ceremony performed by a high-ranking monk.

Of course, it now seems like we've encountered a scammer.

However, despite this unexpected situation, he ended up finding the truly capable Fujimaru Ritsuka, which can be considered a blessing in disguise for him.

Since they couldn't check in immediately, after confirming some matters, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others went to the Mysterious Agency to rest.

"Senior, would you like some tea?"

"Yes, I want to drink!"

Mashu smiled and began to brew tea, while Fujimaru Ritsuka sat in her office chair and continued to ponder what had just happened.

First came the rice paddies, then the ghouls, and now even the resentment of the dead has appeared.

Is this Ke Xue?

Regardless of whether Ke Xue or not, compared to the first two mysterious events, the latter one concerned her more.

Because she always felt that something was wrong.

It's important to know that the Conan world is a world themed around detectives and crimes, filled with cases of all sizes.

If the resentment of the deceased truly exists, it should be everywhere, and it wouldn't be surprising if vengeful ghosts or vengeful spirits were born from it.

In reality, she has spent a considerable amount of time in the Conan world, but so far, she has only witnessed the gathering of resentment just now.

Of course, it's also possible that the rules of the Conan world are different, or that there are some special reasons that she hasn't discovered yet, which is why that situation didn't occur.

While pondering the problem, she turned on her computer, logged onto the firm's website, and checked for any new messages.

Well, no.

On the other side, Mashu brewed some tea, placed a cup in front of Moriarty, and then went to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, smiling as she said:

"Senior, here's your tea."

"Thank you."

Mash placed the teacup on Fujimaru Ritsuka's table, then stood still and asked with concern:

"Senior, what are you thinking about?"

"Hmm, I'm thinking."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and told the two of them about the doubts that had been on her mind.

After listening, Moriarty couldn't help but stroke his chin and say:

"Indeed."

"I've been here for quite a while now, and this is the first time I've ever witnessed such a gathering of resentment."

"However, considering the characteristics of this world, it may be normal."

"After all, reasoning doesn't really go well with supernatural elements."

Mashu guessed:

"Perhaps it's because the cemetery that was once the site of that villa is somewhat unusual? Should we investigate?"

"boom!"

Just then, the office door suddenly opened, and a familiar figure appeared before them—

"Ritsuka-neechan, you guys are here!"

"Bo Dao?"
