Chapter 10
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 spacious 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 hit 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 .
