You didn't expect this, did you? I've time-traveled again!

Because of the frequent interference from evil spirits, the noble lord had no choice but to issue quests through the Adventurers' Guild, and the quest rewards were increased again and again.

You can move in as long as all the evil spirits are completely exorcised, until there are no more negative reviews!

"Not bad! Very good, excellent!"

Upon seeing the villa, Aqua exclaimed excitedly, "It's perfect for me to live here!"

Huihui, who was standing next to her, was also very excited, her eyes shining and her face flushed.

Darkness, on the other hand, remained calm and showed no signs of excitement.

As a noblewoman, she certainly has that much of a perspective.

"Move into this mansion!"

Suoh Takeshi's statement was not unfounded.

The price of this luxury home has hit a new low due to a sharp drop in its rating by the property assessment authority.

From 1300 million erys at the beginning to a clearance sale of 500 million now.

It needs to be bought by someone; if no one buys it, its price will drop even further.

Suoh Takeshi seized this opportunity and used a clever trick to try and buy the mansion at an extremely low price.

When Suoh Takeshi expressed his desire to buy the mansion, the nobleman's butler immediately decided to lower the price by 50 Eris, hoping to sell it as soon as possible.

Suoh Takeshi was happy to agree.

The two hit it off.

Ultimately, Suoh Takeshi spent 600 million yen to buy the mansion.

Don't get me wrong, the extra 150 million Eris are with the Adventurers' Guild.

Since the nobleman has already paid the full reward, canceling the mission would result in a 30% commission deduction as compensation, so this reward is also included in the price of the mansion.

Otherwise, the steward wouldn't have reduced the price by another 50 Eris.

However, such trivial matters are not a problem for them at all.

With the goddess Aqua by their side, any evil spirit would have to retreat in fear, or Aqua would send them to heaven.

Darkness said with some worry, "Do we really have a way to exorcise the spirits? I've heard that no matter how you try to exorcise the evil spirits in the town, new ones will appear."

That's exactly what I meant!

Huihui said uneasily, "This mansion feels like it's been uninhabited for a long time. The evil spirit disturbances only happened recently, right? Could this be a haunted house?"

"Don't worry, Aqua is a high priestess. Dealing with little evil spirits is a piece of cake for her."

Suoh Takeshi comforted the two somewhat flustered women.

"That's right, Aqua is the High Priestess, what are you afraid of?"

Kazuma Sato also helped to dispel their fears.

Aqua patted her ample breasts and said to the two of them, "Just leave everything to me!"

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go inside."

Suoh Takeshi beckoned everyone inside, saying, "We still need to pack our luggage, otherwise we won't be able to sleep tonight."

"and many more."

Aqua stood motionless in front of the mansion, raising her hands to activate magic and sense something.

"I saw it! I saw it!"

Aqua muttered to herself:

"This mansion was previously used to imprison the illegitimate son of a nobleman."

That girl was the child born from a nobleman's impulsive act of misbehaving with his maid!

Her name is Anna Filanti Estro.

She likes stuffed animals and dolls, as well as adventure stories of adventurers…

Aqua eloquently recounted the history of the mansion and the past life of the evil spirit that haunted it.

Although Kazuma Sato thought Aqua was exaggerating, and Megumin and Darkness thought so too, Takeshi Suoh never doubted Aqua's ability as a goddess to exorcise evil spirits.

Her other abilities are rather lacking, and when she acts silly, she doesn't act like a goddess at all.

Assign rooms.

Everyone unanimously requested that Suoh Takeshi stay in the largest master bedroom in the center of the second floor.

Unable to refuse them, Suoh Takeshi had no choice but to agree.

The five rooms, from left to right, are occupied by Kazuma Sato, Aqua, Takeshi Suo, Megumin, and Darkness.

I put down my luggage, laid it out, sat cross-legged on the bed, and silently waited for midnight to fall.

Time passed slowly, and midnight drew ever closer.

Just as Suoh Takeshi was wondering why the evil spirit hadn't come yet, he heard a slight noise from the door.

Click.

The door was opened.

'It's finally here.' Suoh Takeshi thought to himself, while secretly circulating the Breathing of the Sun technique.

He wanted to conduct an experiment to see if the Sun Breathing Technique would have any effect on evil spirits.

If possible, the effects of the Sun Breathing Technique will be greatly enhanced!

He opened his sharp eyes and looked toward the door with an intense sense of pressure.

"Waaaaaaaahh ...

A deafening soprano voice suddenly rang out.

That familiar voice…

It's Huihui.

She was intimidated by Suoh Takeshi's domineering gaze.

"Huh, is that Megumin?"

Suoh Takeshi then realized that the bright red light source was Megumin's eyes.

"Why are you here? Is there something you need?"

"Um, um..."

Wearing only a thin nightgown, Huihui twisted her body shyly and said in a low voice, "I...I need to go to the toilet. Can you come with me?"

"........."

Kind of embarrassing.

Suoh Takeshi remained silent for a while, then coughed a few times and asked:

"Ahem, what about Aqua and Darkness? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to ask them?"

“Aqua was performing an exorcism, and Darkness went with her.”

"Yeah."

Suoh Takeshi thought for a moment, "That makes sense. After all, Darkness is a Knight of the Cross."

The two fell silent again.

So embarrassing, so embarrassing!

"Um... I can't hold it in any longer..."

Huihui twisted her body more and more, and it was clear that she was enduring a lot of hardship.

An upright young person will not remain silent and watch others suffer!

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Suoh Takeshi picked up his Nichirin Blade and led Megumin toward the mansion's bathroom.

"Thank you," Huihui said softly.

"It's alright."

Suoh Takeshi shook his head and said softly, "It's normal to rely on teammates, don't be polite."

"Ah."

Huihui nodded slightly.

The two had barely stepped out of the room when they heard a strange knocking sound.

It's a doll.

Turning my head, I saw a large group of dolls floating in the air.

His cold, lifeless eyes, devoid of any warmth, stared directly at the two of them, sending chills down their spines.

Huihui hid in fear, concealing herself behind Suoh Takeshi.

Suoh Takeshi stepped forward, raised his Nichirin Blade, and simultaneously began practicing the Breathing of the Sun technique.

"Breath of the Sun, First Form, Waltz!"

The Nichirin Blade, wreathed in scorching flames, swept across without a word, burning the puppets to ashes and dissipating the evil spirits as well.

He could sense whether the evil spirit had truly vanished, having secretly learned the High Priest's skills.

"Not bad, it seems that the Sun Breathing Technique also works on evil spirits."

Suoh Takeshi nodded in satisfaction.

"Wu, I... I'm about to die."

Huihui's body trembled as she tried to move forward but couldn't.

Having been so frightened by the evil spirit, she was already close to her limit.

"What?!"
