38 – Once again, the battle to subdue monsters

“Hey… Senpai, that thing on your head… ….”

Sylphy points to my head with her finger.

“Yes.”

“I’m not looking at it wrong, am I?”

“You are looking at it correctly.”

I lifted my head, looked up, and sighed softly.

After solving the Belle Epoque Mansion incident, there was someone who always followed me.

It was none other than the little demon ghost Shari.

As soon as she returned to the mansion, Shari came to cling to my leg, and somehow even after she came out of the mansion, she came to follow me.

It seemed to be on top of my head now.

I was a ghost anyway, so I couldn’t feel anything no matter where it was on my body, but I couldn’t help but feel anxious.

“You were able to go outside the mansion.”

“Originally, I couldn’t come out of the mansion, but after holding the funeral, I think I was able to come out.”

“Isn’t it heavy?”

“I don’t feel anything.”

“Puhup.”

Sylphy, who was quietly looking at me, suddenly burst into laughter.

“What are you laughing at?”

“The sight of a senior carrying such a cute ghost on his head is a bit…….”

“I am seriously worried. “I wonder what other people will think when they see it.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay because it’s cute? “I don’t think you’ll think badly of it.”

Sylphy smiled, looking at Shari and me alternately, not knowing my troubled feelings.

As an adventurer who carries around a little demon ghost, what if there are rumors of something strange?

I felt the top of my head become colder than usual for some reason, and sighed softly.

The Belle Epoque mansion that I received as a reward for the request was requested by the guild and put up for sale at a low price.

At first, I tried to find a way to make the mansion useful, but it was still impossible.

There was really no use for it.

It is true that it is a mansion worth tens of thousands of gold, but almost none of it is in good condition, so the estimate for repair costs is that much higher.

Furthermore, such terrible things happened in the basement, and it was too large to be used alone, so it was impossible to manage.

Even if they tried to sell the mansion again, the rumor that it was a cursed mansion had already spread, so no one wanted to buy it right away.

In the end, it was no use holding on to the mansion, which had become a nuisance, so I asked the guild to sell it on my behalf.

The contract stipulated that if the guild found a buyer for the mansion, half of the sale price would be paid to me.

In effect, I handed over half of the ownership to the guild, but I did not regret it.

Anyway, if I keep holding it, it will just become an abandoned building that I can’t sell.

It looks like the guild can’t find a buyer right away, but anyway, it was nice not having to worry about the mansion anymore.

I’m glad that I can now focus on being an adventurer again.

『Just like that, Yunoa’s absurd dream of making a fortune disappeared as a dream.

It was truly a bitter ending befitting someone who was excessively greedy for money.』

The narration in my head secretly scratched my insides.

You were the one who accepted the request for that mansion in the first place.

If it weren’t for the mansion worth tens of thousands of gold and all, I would never have accepted that request.

『Noah Yu, who did not receive any financial benefit from the Belle Epoque mansion, regretted accepting the request only thinking about money.

Shari didn’t even think that if she hadn’t made the request, she would have been languishing in the mansion forever.

Yunoa was truly without blood or tears.』

In such a shameful way, they are once again accusing people of being trash.

What… Although it is not completely wrong.

I turned slightly to the side and saw Shari’s small, translucent body floating in the air, looking at me.

If it weren’t for me, this child might have suffered forever until someone came forward to truly understand the identity of the hallucinations.

Well, in that sense, I don’t regret making this request.

It’s a bit burdensome to have Shari follow me around as a ghost.

“Hmm? “Look over there.”

“What is that? “There’s a strange fairy-like thing following me around.”

One day, I was on my way to the guild to receive a request.

Other adventurers who saw me on the street said something.

As expected, Shari’s presence seemed strange.

She tried not to pay attention to it as much as possible, but it would be a problem if everyone who saw her was like this.

I stopped walking and went into a deserted alley and spoke quietly.

“Shari, can’t you make it invisible to other people on a regular basis? “I’m having a hard time.”

At my request, the shari attached to her head floated in the air, and she came in front of me and tilted her head.

He doesn’t seem to understand why I’m in trouble.

“It’s not that you’re embarrassed or that you don’t want to see it, but that people are surprised because they’re not used to seeing you.”

Shari blinked her big, beautiful eyes, floating in front of her.

“Shari, she gets misunderstood for no reason and she doesn’t like hearing bad things about her, right? Since I’m a ghost, isn’t there a way to make it invisible to others? “If it’s difficult, I’ll find a bag that you can fit into, so why not just go in there normally?”

I spoke as softly as possible, as if comforting a child.

Then Shari responded in a strange way, showing various scenes in her mind, just like when she communicated with me in her mansion before.

“You hate bags because they’re stuffy? You can make it visible only to people who know you? “You’re saying it won’t be visible to other people?”

Nod.

Shari smiled brightly and nodded her head vigorously.

As expected, this demon child is so kind and cute.

As soon as we finished the conversation, Shari flew back and climbed on top of my head.

Now that I think about it, I’ve never had anyone follow me or like me this much in my life, and it feels strange.

A life loved by a little demon ghost.

As promised, Shari left her alley and walked down her street to make sure no one else could see her.

“Oh, I guess you really can’t see it.”

The effect was immediate.

If she had known this would happen, she would have told me about it sooner.

Just as I was about to take a step back toward the guild, a man called out to me.

“I found it! Hey! “You’re Yunoa, right?”

As soon as the man spotted me, he quickly ran over and asked.

What is it? Is there anyone looking for me in such a hurry?

“What’s going on?”

“Hurry and go to the guild now! “Maleia is looking for you!”

Mileia.

It was a name I hadn’t heard in a long time.

He obviously left Kubel to kill the demons hiding in the human world, but when did he return?

Since I was on my way to the guild anyway, I walked a little faster.

In front of the adventurer’s guild that arrived like that.

“What… what? This… ….”

I flinched at the atmosphere of the guild, which was different from usual.

In front of the guild, a significant number of adventurers were gathered and chatting.

There are several supply wagons set up, and soldiers wearing armor can also be seen.

Furthermore, as soon as I arrived, all the eyes of all those people were focused on me.

“Hey, over there! “That guy is Yunoa.”

“What kind of guy is this?”

“I heard you’re a silver level adventurer?”

“Why do we have to wait for a guy like that?”

Curiosity, suspicion, resentment, complaints…… I felt like I was suffocating because I could feel the eyes filled with all kinds of emotions.

I didn’t do anything?

All these adventurers were waiting for me?

What are you talking about?

I couldn’t find an answer if I thought about it here, so I tried to ignore the uncomfortable looks of the adventurers and entered the guild.

The sight I saw as soon as I entered the guild was Millia talking to a man with her arms crossed with an expressionless expression.

“Who on earth is that silver-level adventurer who is waiting there without sending a punitive force?”

“…… Wait.”

“It’s already long past departure time. “If you don’t join us at the agreed upon time, the capital will also make an issue.”

“…… Wait.”

The man wearing heavy armor was fiercely arguing with Mileyia, who was expressionlessly ignoring him by saying, “Wait.”

I approached them, feeling an ominous feeling.

“Hey… ….”

“…… “You’re here.”

Mileia’s eyes turn towards me.

At the same time, the gaze of the man who had been arguing with Milleia also turned to me.

Mileia’s expression was stiff, but her eyes were much softer as she looked at me.

But the look in the eyes of the man in front of me gave me a ferocious energy, as if he was about to spit out a hexadecimal letter at any moment.

I was faced with such extremely different perspectives that I didn’t know how to react, so I decided to first ask what the hell was going on.

“What is all this about? Mr. Mileia, didn’t you go to Vainar?”

“I missed it.”

“Yes?”

“It wasn’t there anymore when I got there.”

It seems that Bishop Xavier was not at Frea Church.

It was said based on clues from the narration, but was it really a demon?

No, that’s not important right now.

“By the way, what is all this about? What are all those people outside? “Why are you all waiting for me?”

In response to my question, Millia looked at me gently and said,

“Yunoa, please participate in this monster suppression team.”

“Huh?!”

『The situation on the continent was going unusually.

Signs of a large-scale monster invasion that were unprecedented until recently were discovered.

Accordingly, the kingdom organized a joint monster suppression force mobilizing guilds, knights, and kingdom troops.』

Before she could understand Milleia’s shocking words, a narration flowed in her head.

『For this monster extermination party, only adventurers with a lot of track record and experience have been ordered to convene.

Of course, Yunoa, who had been at the silver level for less than a year, was not on the call-up list.

However, Millea, who was in charge of the adventurer’s subjugation leader, insisted that he would not set off without Yunoa.』

I was able to understand this situation to some extent only after listening to the narration’s explanation.

“Would you please come with me?”

Mileia asked once again.

The man in armor standing next to her is glaring at me with veins in his eyes as if he were going to kill me.

Even outside the guild, many adventurers were waiting, wondering, ‘Who on earth is Yunoa, and is she the reason we can’t set off?’

…… I don’t think it’s an atmosphere where I can refuse.

I had no choice but to accept this sudden offer, almost crying.
