Love is not as fun as World of Warcraft

But the riot of the little monsters alone was enough to give her a headache, not to mention that she learned through collecting intelligence that in just this one week, at least a dozen known small-scale Chang'an had appeared in Kamihama City. Under normal circumstances, this amount of increase would be unlikely in a year.

The other two forces are still at a standstill, and now all the pressure is on them. It's hard for her not to have a headache.

"That's good. If it's just a small, dark one..."

Shirasaka stood up and patted his chest.

"Then leave it to me!"

Chapter 161 I Like It More

This is what Shirasaka is supposed to do. Even if Kagami Ichinose doesn't say it, he will still go to exorcise the monster. It can be said that these things that give Kagami Ichinose a headache are good things for Shirasaka.

He was still worried that if Tutu killed all the monsters in Shenbin, he should move to another city. Now that there are stable refreshes, wouldn’t that be a good thing?

With Shirasaka's promise, Ichinose Kagami's complexion obviously improved a lot. After nodding, he seemed to remember something and reminded Shirasaka.

"If we go to the manor over there, I might not be able to go with you. Those Yin Yang Masters may need me to go over and negotiate with them. They also seem to want to contact you."

Ichinose Kagami silently relayed the Onmyoji's request. Whether Shirasaka wanted to go or not depended on his own thoughts.

After all, Shirasaka had wanted to get to know them before, so now was a great opportunity.

"Hmm? What brings them here? They actually took the initiative to contact me?"

Shirasaka scratched his head. When had he become so famous? He didn't remember doing anything truly shocking, did he? Logically, these people shouldn't even know of his existence, so why were they contacting him? Evil.

"There's no way to hide the fact that you single-handedly took on an entire group of medicine worshippers yesterday. Plus, Kitami-senpai is still promoting the effectiveness of your potion. The reason they want to contact you is to buy the well water from you to use for healing."

Ichinose Kagami responded to Shirasaka indifferently. She could suppress many things for Shirasaka, but there was no way to do anything about the large-scale attack like yesterday. Even if she wanted to hide it, she could not stop people from investigating. In addition, Kitami Natsuka was still advertising for Shirasaka, so it can be said that he has officially become famous in this demon-hunting circle during this period.

"Alright, are you advertising for me now?"

Shirasaka grinned. He was thinking about how to expand his channels so that he could sell his well water better. It turned out that Kitami Xia Xia, who was a guy who made a lot of money, even thought of this for him.

However, this wave of his advertising was really effective. After all, it was a potion that could even save monsters from death by magicians. Who wouldn't be interested in it?

"Then I'll ask you to help connect us, Ichinose. I don't have any problems on my end. If it's just a simple acquaintance and a mutually beneficial transaction, I definitely have no reason to refuse."

By fully entrusting this matter to Kagami Ichinose, Shirasaka is increasingly treating her as his own secretary.

After all, he had never seen another person as easy to use as her.

Ichinose Kagami nodded. She had already planned to do this. If Shirasaka were to contact the other party directly, it would be somewhat troublesome. And obviously, this guy did not like this kind of meaningless trouble.

Knowing Shirasaka's personality and temper very well, Kagami Ichinose only had to ask for Shirasaka's consent, and she was prepared to arrange the rest herself.

For combatants like Shirasaka, all he needs to do is focus on preparing for battle, and leave the logistics to her.

After agreeing on all this, Shirasaka and Ichinose Kagamikashi separated. The happy campus life passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time to go home from school in the afternoon.

After meeting Nanashiki Mio who had been waiting for him at the school gate, Shirasaka continued to wait with her at the gate. Ten minutes later, he saw Kitami Natsuka arriving in a luxury car.

Compared to Kagaki Ichinose, this girl's style of doing things is much more flamboyant. She almost has the words "I am a rich woman" written on her face. With the blessing of this high-end car, she doesn't seem as childish as before.

"Get in the car, I'll take you to see the house."

She just sat in the back seat and greeted Shirasaka. It should be because the remaining magical girls had recovered well, Kitami Natsuka's face had a bit of relaxation as usual, and she started joking with Shirasaka as soon as she came up.

It looked just like he was supporting Shirasaka.

Shirasaka didn't act pretentiously. He opened the car door with Nanashiki Mio, sat next to Kitami Natsuka, and let the driver drive the car to the destination.

This is the style of a wealthy family, isn't it? Who goes out without a driver? It's hard to associate someone like Kagami Ichinose, who just rides a scooter, with a rich family.

"Hey, is this your girlfriend? Or your sister?"

Kitami Xia Xia looked at Nanashiki Mio with some curiosity, and then recognized that Nanashiki Mio was the unconscious girl that Shirasaka carried out of his own mine. She didn't know what was wrong with this guy, but he felt uncomfortable without a beautiful girl by his side?

The key point is that Kagami Kagawa Ichinose has no objection to this at all, which really shows that he is having a lot of fun.

"Yes, uh, my companion, the one who helps me deal with evil spirits."

Shirasaka struggled with the words and could only say that describing a person as a true eye was a bit too much. After hesitating for a while, he finally came up with a more acceptable positioning.

And this is also true. Even if Nanashiki Mio did not have these abilities, just based on what she did for him, he would have already regarded her as a companion.

"Hello, little sister. My name is Nanashiki Mio. What's your name?"

Seeing that Shirasaka and Kitami Natsu seemed to have known each other for a long time, Nanashiki Mio felt a little more favorable towards this delicate girl who looked like a doll. She was no longer so shy, so she mustered up the courage to greet her and introduce herself.

But as soon as she said this, Kitami Xia Xia's little face suddenly turned dark, and Shirasaka next to her almost blushed from trying to hold back her laughter. She could only lower her head and turn her face to the side so as not to let the other person see the corners of her mouth that could no longer be suppressed.

"I'm not his little sister. I'm his senior. You should call me Kitami-senpai, or Kitami-senpai, like him. Do you understand?"

With her hands on her hips and her face puffed up with anger, Kitami Natsu looked more like an angry child. After making an angrily statement to Nanashiki Mio, she seemed to want to vent something and kicked the calf of Shirasaka who was laughing at the side hard.

This guy can still laugh, he must be the one who led people astray!

"Why did you kick me? I didn't ask her to say that. It's your own problem."

Shirasaka responded to Kitami Xia Xia with a smile, saying that with her strength, if she used any more force it would just be a massage for him.

Nanashiki Mio on the side shrank her neck. Noticing that she seemed to have said something wrong, she could only helplessly grab Shirasaka's arm, fearing that she had caused him any trouble.

Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere was quickly eased. After all, the driver was driving very fast, and the manor that Kitami Natsuka provided to Shirasaka was just as she said, not far from the city center of Kamihama.

But as soon as Shirasaka got off the bus, he realized why Kitami Natsuki said this place was haunted.

It should be said that he finally figured out how they were able to occupy an area of more than 20 acres in such a land-scarce place.

After all, when you get off the car, the first thing you see is a whole cemetery with graves and so on. Who wouldn't consider it?

"You mean to say that this manor is built around this cemetery?"

Shirasaka curled his lips and pointed to a cemetery in front of him that had begun to grow overgrown with weeds. It was obvious that this area had been abandoned for a long time and there was no sign of anyone cleaning or tidying it up.

Just how abstract must one be to build a manor in a place like this? Do they really not care about feng shui at all?

"Ahem, this kind of thing is nothing. This cemetery has been abandoned for a while. If you really think it's unlucky, then I'll consider talking to the people over there about flattening this area and making a lawn for you."

Kitami Xia Xia also knew that this matter was probably a scam, just like a real estate agent who had been exposed. After coughing awkwardly twice, she provided Shirasaka with a solution.

But there is no way around it. After all, if you want to find an unused area in a place like Kamihama, there will definitely be some strange things there.

Even the cemetery is not the key point. If the manor was not haunted, it would not be her turn to give it to Shirasaka.

After all, she is rich, but she is not rich enough to give away a manor of this size.

"Then I don't need this one. It's fine to keep it. I like this style. It has a special kind of withered beauty."

Shirasaka hurriedly rejected Kitami Natsuki's suggestion. If it were someone else, having such a large abandoned cemetery next to their home would be considered unlucky, but for him, it was completely unacceptable.

Aren't these resources? For the undead, corpses and graveyards are valuable assets. If Shirasaka wants to explode skeletons or summon small beetles in the future, stones are essential.

So this cemetery that others avoid is an undeveloped gold mine here in Shirasaka. It can only be said that this will only make his rating of this manor even higher.

Chapter 162 What a terrible curse

After passing by the cemetery and going further, the road overgrown with weeds and bushes no longer allowed vehicles to pass. This was why Kitami Xia Xia had to get out of the car and walk.

Shirasaka looked at the place which had obviously been abandoned for some years and was almost turned into a small forest park. He suddenly became curious about where Kitami Xia Xia had dug out such a manor.

To be more precise, is this really a manor, not some deserted hill?

After passing through the untended bush area, Shirasaka seemed to have stepped into another world and walked into a huge lawn covered with weeds.

At the end of the grassland is a large villa with Western-style decoration, which is obviously completely different from the Neon area. Perhaps because no one has lived in it for many years, green ivy has covered the entire area of the house. Only the white wall below can be vaguely distinguished between the green hedges.

"My goodness, this place has been there for so long! Don't even mention it being haunted. I wouldn't believe you even if you said it was a haunted house."

Shirasaka curled the corners of his mouth. Judging from the appearance alone, this thing is the style of the classic Resident Evil in Western horror stories. Even the appearance of the buildings is exactly the same. No wonder no one lives here.

"Are you sure people can live here?"

Pointing at the white mansion surrounded by a lawn of weeds, Shirasaka couldn't help but complain.

"It's ready for you to move in. Even though it looks like it's been abandoned for a long time, it's only been uninhabited for five years. The water and electricity are still working properly. The surrounding landscaping might need some cleaning, but I can arrange for someone to come and take care of it anytime you want. It'll only take a day or two."

"There's even a large pond at the back. You can fish there or turn it into a swimming pool. That's all possible."

Kitami Xiaxia shook her finger. What Shirasaka said was not a problem. If that was all, then it would never be his turn to come to this mansion.

"It's only been five years, and you use the word 'talent' well."

Shirasaka twitched the corner of his mouth. From what she said, this mansion had been abandoned for five years. No wonder the weeds and shrubs around it were so lush.

As for the so-called pool, it's probably a good thing that Shirasaka hasn't turned into a stinking ditch. After all, no one takes care of it, so who knows how dirty it will be.

But putting all that aside, if one simply looked at the mansion, Shirasaka was indeed very satisfied. After all, Kitami Natsuka had also said that this was an entire manor, which meant that not only this house, but even the entire mountain behind it was included in this range, and that mountain was very suitable for him to put some buildings that were not easy to see in, and at the same time let Wu Lu Yu Yi help cover them up with Chang An.

"Alas, there's nothing I can do. This house is just weird."

Kitami Natsuka had no intention of hiding it from Shirasaka, and she told him directly why the mansion had been abandoned for five years. This might be a dissuading move for others, but for Shirasaka, it might be an attractive advantage.

"Hmm? What kind of weird method is this? Is it a curse that will cause death?"

Regarding the haunted house, and the background is in Neon, the first thing that Shirasaka thought of must be the classic scene of The Grudge. No matter who it is, as long as they step into that house, they will be cursed and eventually killed by the evil spirit. It is simply unreasonable to the extreme.

However, this is just an exaggeration in film and television dramas. If Kayako from The Grudge really ran in front of Shirasaka, he would definitely pull her hood to the ground and let her see what a dirty hand is.

"That's not so outrageous. If that were the case, I wouldn't be able to hand it over to you directly. Wouldn't that be cheating you?"

Kitami Natsuka shook her head. What Shirasaka said was too exaggerated. If it was a death curse, then the mansion might not have been abandoned for just five years. It would probably have been demolished and rebuilt on the day she got it.

Although the house is currently haunted and cannot be inhabited, it has not yet reached the point where it will inevitably take lives. Shirasaka may be a little disappointed.

"So, what's going on?"

Shirasaka scratched his head. If it wasn't a fatal curse, he would have lost a lot of interest. It was hard to say whether it was an evil spirit or not. After all, no one had died.

"So... starting five years ago, anyone who stayed in this mansion would find their hair mysteriously disappearing the next day, eventually becoming bald and bald?"

Kitami Xia Xia pursed her lips. Actually, this could be considered a curse, but it seemed more insulting than fatal. But if she had to choose, she would rather die than spend the rest of her life with a Mediterranean hairstyle.

This is also the reason why she stopped here. If possible, she didn't want to set foot in this mansion. Now she could only hope that Shirasaka could come up with some solution. After all, he even dealt with the haunted gold mine.

"...Are you sure this isn't a prank? Why would someone shave someone's head when they have nothing better to do?"

Shirasaka curled his lips. This so-called curse was a bit too outrageous. Even if it was about cutting off heads, Shirasaka would treat it as a horror story, but if it was simply about taking people's hair, it was too much of a bad taste.

"Not really, because an Onmyoji had come here before and not only did they find no trace of the monster, but their hair was shaved clean off the next day."

Kitami Xia Xia sighed. It would be great if it was that easy to solve. At least that group of Onmyoji couldn't do it. As for a magical girl like herself, neither she nor the other members of the Five Colors Team were willing to gamble with their beautiful hair on such a possibility.

This is also one of the reasons why this manor has been abandoned for so long. Anyway, she really has no interest in setting foot in it.

"So, what if the person who moves in has a Mediterranean physique, or even goes so far as to shave his head completely? What would happen?"

Shirasaka scratched his face. If it was just about the hair, then most wealthy middle-aged men didn't seem to be really worried about it. When they solved the problem from the root, what was there to be afraid of?

"...The previous owner of this mansion had the same idea as you. He originally planned to use it as his personal vacation spot, hiring temporary cleaners to do the regular cleaning. A week later, he was found dead on his bed by the cleaners. This was the only death in this mansion."

Kitami Xia Xia didn't expect that Shirasaka's angle was so tricky, and what Shirasaka didn't expect was that he was not the only one with the same tricky angle as him.

There are actually people who have tried this hypothesis, but unfortunately, they paid the price with their lives in the end.

"Tsk, so the bald head is just a warning, but it's still a threat to life?"

Shirasaka pinched his chin. If someone died, it meant that it might still be the work of an evil spirit, but the other party might not be that bad. It seemed that it would give a warning before taking someone's life?

"That's the theory. Anyway, no one dared to go in after that."

Kitami Xia Xia sighed. After all, it was a life. Although the man had not died and the manor would not have fallen into her hands, she still felt a little regretful.

Now, we can only hope that Shirasaka can find a way to handle everything here.

Anyway, she just gave him this mansion as a gift. What to do with it afterwards is his own problem.

"Well, could you tell me more about the origins or history of this mansion? I'd have to provide some clues and directions for the investigation, right?"

Theoretically, if it really was an evil spirit causing trouble, then with Nanashi Mio, they could just go in and find the evil spirit inside and kill it, and that should be the end of it. But since Bei Ni saw Xia Xia saying that those Onmyojis couldn't deal with it, this might require taking some risks.

The main thing he had to do was his hair. In order to avoid himself and Nanashiki Mio from looking as funny as the Mediterranean, Shirasaka decided it would be better to do some research in advance.

"For example, I see this mansion is quite old. If it were from a previous era, why would it be built in this Western-style castle style?"

Shirasaka first raised the thing that puzzled him the most. If this house was modern, then there would be absolutely no problem with this style. However, it was obvious that this house had several decades of history, which was quite strange.

"Because originally, this manor was built by a nobleman from the West. That old nobleman was even buried on this land. The cemetery at the door is where he was originally buried."

Kitami Natsuka had done some research after all, although not as thoroughly as Ichinose Kagami, but she was still able to give Shirasaka answers to some common questions.

"So, do you think that the original owner's resentment still lingers in this house, and that's why he doesn't want anyone else to live in it?"
