"That's absolutely impossible."

Ella waved her hand helplessly, and under Lotte's gaze, she walked into the girls' residence.

Chapter 69: The Story Comes to a Temporary End

As soon as they pushed open the door and entered the yard, the girls who noticed Ella's arrival immediately stopped what they were doing - most of them were busy carrying food - and called on the others to gather in the yard.

After everyone gathered, Lintelina, as the leader, walked slowly to the floating Ella and bowed slightly.

"Lord Entarosphiel, we have counted all the food as you requested. Here is the list."

Handing the wooden board to Ella, Lintelina looked excited, just like a child who had achieved good results and was reporting the results to his parents.

Of course, Ella couldn't understand all the data, so she could only pretend to be "carefully" looking it up and nodding "hmm". As Ella's voice, which sounded like praise, Lintlina's smile became more and more obvious.

After roughly estimating the time, Ella returned the wooden board to Lintelina.

"Well done, Lintelina."

"It is an honor to receive the praise of Master Ntarosviel. However, you only took three minutes to review this much information. Isn't it true that you are worthy of your majesty?"

"This... is because Lintelina organized it well, saving me a lot of time."

"Is that so!? I'll work even harder from now on!"

[Ahhh… When will these days ever end…]

Looking at Lintelina's energetic look, Ella couldn't help feeling helpless and guilty. In order not to continue with this topic, Ella coughed lightly twice.

"Ahem, I'm here today for another matter. Has anyone changed their mind about the previous decision? If anyone doesn't want to join the Chamber of Commerce or become an adventurer, I will give them gold coins and let them return to the life they want."

She glanced at the girls around her. Except for the woman who was still in a trance in the room, there was no hesitation in the eyes of the others. No one had changed their minds. After about half a minute, Ella nodded.

"Well, then, those who want to become adventurers, please step forward."

Led by the tall shield warrior, the girls on the left wing of the team all took a step forward. Their neat movements must have been the result of previous training.

With a wave of her hand, Ella piled the magic weapons stored in the warehouse on the ground.

"These are the magical weapons prepared for you. You may use them as you please."

The moment the magic weapon appeared, there was a commotion in the team, but for some reason, no girl was willing to come out and disrupt the formation.

Seeing this scene, Ella could only add again helplessly.

"Come up and choose for yourselves, now."

With these words, the team instantly collapsed, and all the girls rushed to the magic weapon with shining eyes.

"Wow! These weapons are as good as new!"

"T-This is a precious magical weapon... I've only seen others wield it before, but I never thought I'd get to touch one myself."

"There's even precious full body armor! If Big Sister wears this, we won't have to worry about the vanguard anymore!"

"Ohhh! There are also magical accessories. Could it be that these are prepared for Lady Lintrina?"

"If we take these out, they'll surely fetch a lot of money, right?"

"Idiot, this was given to us by Lady Entarosphiel. I won't sell it!"

Many people could be seen touching their weapons and shedding tears. Considering what Lintlina said the last time I came here, that half of the people here were adventurers, those who were shedding tears must have known the value of these weapons, which was why they were so moved.

Holding a huge shield tower and metal armor pushed by other girls, the burly shield warrior came in front of Ella. Even this shield warrior had excitement in his eyes.

"Sir, these things must have cost you a lot of money, right?"

“Uh, no—”

"I will definitely cherish it and work hard to become a high-ranking adventurer to repay you!"

Although she wanted to say that these were actually made yesterday, she was too embarrassed to say it out loud when she saw the shield warrior squatting down and sobbing.

It was rare to see women crying, so Ella shifted her gaze to the right side of the team. If she was not mistaken, these were girls who wanted to set up a guild of commerce. Now, these girls were craning their necks with envy to look at the girls who were choosing magic weapons.

[I think we need to find a balance after all…]

While Ella was still thinking, Lintlina stepped forward and handed Ella a simple long staff.

"Lord Entarosviel, this is returned to you."

"Um?"

This long staff was something I gave to Lintlina for self-defense when dealing with thieves. Since it only had a first-level "Lightning" magic engraved on it, I had no intention of taking it back - I felt embarrassed to give it away, so it would be too stingy to ask for it back.

Perhaps because Ella didn't respond, Lintelina continued speaking with a reluctant expression.

"Such a precious magical weapon must have cost you a fortune, right? You not only saved us from the bandits, but also helped us return to a normal life. This is something we can never repay. If you still have such concerns..."

At this point, she was too embarrassed to say that it was just a prototype, so Ella could only wave her hand in a feigned indifference.

"It's okay, take it. These things are of no use to me at all."

"but--"

"Well... you can think of it as something I'm loaning you temporarily. If Lintrina can help the Chamber of Commerce grow and prosper in the future, this staff will be given to you as a gift."

"If that's the case...a gift...a gift from Master Phil..."

Lintelina stopped being stubborn and just blushed, lowered her head and kept muttering something.

Seeing this, Ella couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and handed the black bag that Lotte had given her to Lintlina.

"This is a drug that can restore your spirits. Give it to the girls in the room. It has no side effects, and the dosage and other information are written on it."

"--Yes, thank you very much, Master Entarosviel."

Lintelina took the medicine from Ella with both hands and bowed deeply.

Because until now, the girls from the Chamber of Commerce were looking at the girl who was choosing weapons with envy. After thinking for a moment, Ella waved her hand again and handed the three dimensional backpacks to Lintlina. These were things she had obtained in this world. Although the capacity was much different from the dimensional backpack she gave to Lotte, it was not the type that ordinary nobles could buy.

"I'll leave these to you as part of the capital for the guild's operations. Also, if possible, after you get out, I hope you can form a cooperative relationship with a guild called 'Mercury,' which is made up of ghost girls."

"A-It's a dimensional backpack! Ok... Ok! Sir, I'll remember that. As long as they don't make excessive demands, we'll definitely do our best to form an alliance!"

「Hmm, you actually said something like, definitely... But since it's Patricia, she probably wouldn't make excessive demands. 」

In her impression, Patricia is a person with a very good personality, so the things that Lintelina is worried about should not happen.

The equipment selection process took a full half hour to complete. After everything was ready, the girls who would become adventurers loaded the carts with food, while the girls who would become members of the Chamber of Commerce assisted them. According to the plan, all the food would be transported by the girls themselves - this had been approved by Sadler using Entalosphiel's identity, so there was no need to worry about a commotion. As for what would happen to the girls after they arrived on the ground, they would buy several spacious houses in the city of Semorabi to use as warehouses and residences.

In addition, the adventurer girl will not only pay attention to improving her own level, but also serve as the guard of the Chamber of Commerce to assist the Chamber of Commerce in its operation. In this way, safety is guaranteed. At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce will also provide the adventurer girl with subsequent equipment. With mutual help, a very bright future is foreseeable.

Nodding with satisfaction, Ella flapped her wings.

"Well, then I should go too."

"Lord Entarosphiel, you will never appear again?"

Holding the simple short staff, Lintlina's eyes were filled with worry, and the other girls also looked like they were about to cry.

Ella just snorted in response.

"Hmph, of course not. I'll be checking on your residence from time to time, so if you don't work hard, I'll punish you."

Of course, this sentence is just to put some pressure on the girls and will not really do anything.

"Hoo—will you show up again... That's good. I'll remember that, Master Entarosviel."

Lintelina nodded happily with an expression of obvious relief.

"Well, see you later."

Before she could help but curl up the corners of her mouth, Ella waved the long sleeves of her dark red dress, cast a teleportation magic, and quickly disappeared in front of the girl.

Chapter 70: Strange Stories of the White Ghost (Part 1)

*Genesis 6187 April 7th 20:11 PM Morabi City Temporary Residence

"As expected, taking a bath is a very relaxing feeling for the whole body."

Sighing with contentment, Ella ignored the white mist swirling around her and leaned her head on the edge of the bathtub.

After resolving the issue of the hostage girls, everything returned to normal. All the ghost girls learned how to operate the magic airship. Lucia, who wanted to investigate the source of the undead in the underground tower, would accompany Lotte and her group who went deep into the underground tower for upgrades every day for safety reasons. As for the hostage girls who had just arrived on the ground, although she was only watching from afar as Ella, they seemed to be doing a good job. As the daughter of a viscount, Lintelina seemed to be very good at this kind of work.

Enjoying the feeling of warm water flowing through her arms, Ella suddenly remembered something else worth noting and opened her purple eyes again.

"Come to think of it, I remember hearing the ghost girls talk about a ghost haunting the mansion. You're a ghost yourself, but you're afraid of these ghost stories, right?"

The only sound in the huge bathhouse was the sound of flowing water. Ella couldn't help but find it a little funny when she thought of the ghost girls' scared expressions when they told her about seeing ghosts.

One night before, all the ghost girls ran to her and Camisia's room, saying that they saw a white object floating in the corridor, but when she and Camisia arrived, there was nothing there.

"Maybe I saw it wrong, but even if I did, there shouldn't be so many people. I remember even Patricia was there..."

Patricia is the oldest of the ghost girls and usually looks very steady. Thinking of how Patricia curled up in her quilt at that time, the contrast between the two made Ella smile.

"Well, ghosts and such are human beings after all, so it's normal for them to be afraid of them. Patricia, because she has no one more reliable than herself, usually acts like an elder, but she's actually quite reckless—"

While speaking, Ella sank her entire body, including her head, into the water. Although she knew that this would damage her hair, that was generally speaking. Judging from her physique, as long as she switched roles, all the changes would return to their original state. Of course, this only seemed very convenient. In fact, she had not studied it carefully. After all, no matter what, she could not do some horrific experiments such as amputating her limbs and then switching roles to see if she could recover.

"But is it really necessary to investigate that ghost? I remember not only the ghost girl, but also the guards mentioned it later. Yesterday, I heard people nearby saying they saw a ghost. Could there really be something like that in the mansion...?"

For a moment, Ella couldn't help but speculate about the true identity of the "white ghost" witnessed by everyone. She had previously searched the mansion in detail using "terrain search" and didn't find anything strange at that time. However, the so-called ghosts are representatives of unknown and unidentified things, so it is natural that they cannot be detected.

If this isn't resolved, it might cause trouble in the future, and the children will be scared. It's better to resolve it now.

Of course, there is also a large part of my own fault. I am not good at dealing with things like ghosts. It is not so much that I am not good at dealing with ghosts, but it is that I am afraid of most things that humans are afraid of.

The feeling of suffocation rising from her lungs made Ella come out of the water and take a deep breath. Then she stood up, walked to the sink and picked up the bath towel.

"Well, let's ask Camisia first. If such a thing really exists in this world, Camisia will definitely know."

"Waaaaaaaa! Don't come over here!"

"Eh? Eh? Ugh!"

puff--

Before her brain could react, Ella was knocked back into the bathtub by three ghost girls who broke in.

"Pfft, cough cough cough, w-what's wrong?"

Because the ghost girls are generally very light, Ella quickly climbed out from the bottom of the water, but because the ghost girls kept squeezing towards her, Ella finally had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​wrapping herself in a bath towel.

Hearing Ella's question, the ghost girls raised their heads, and Fina, the youngest among them, spoke first.

“That’s happening again!”

"That? What is that?"

"White, walking up and down the corridor, it's scary!"

While tightly hugging Ella's right arm, Fina raised her head and tried to describe herself. The ends of her green hair kept trembling, and she looked very scared.

"Hmm... Fina, don't worry. Is the 'white' one the ghost we talked about last time?"

Because she had just been thinking about this, Ella quickly understood what made the ghost girl look like that.

"Y-yes! I just ran through the door!"

Because the bathhouse needs someone to look after it, Patricia will send ghost girls to guard the door when someone uses it. The ghost girls on duty today are Fina and the other three. In other words, the white ghost just now was passing by the bathhouse door.

Thinking of this, Ella's brain suddenly became clear - a ghost was passing by her. Once she realized this, tension and uneasiness filled her heart, but along with it, a hint of anticipation also rose.

Humans are afraid of the unknown, but they are also curious about unknown things. Therefore, when the unknown appears before them, they can't help but tinker with it. Ella is in this situation now.

"Go find Camisia—No, that will let the ghost escape. It's better to chase it now."

Standing up from the bottom of the water, Ella offered words of comfort to prevent the ghost girls from continuing to hug her.

"Alright, alright, Fina, just stay here. I'll catch that ghost."

"But, Ella-sama is the only one..."

Although she was very young, Fina's eyes showed the desire to help.

After thinking for a moment, Ella patted Fina's head.

"Then please ask Fina to go find Patricia. She should be in her room right now."
