Chapter 64: Tent Life 2
When Luca suddenly appeared Ghost Cross Castle on the plain, it was hollow inside. Moreover, it was so wide that it could hold a dragon race inside.
“It’s so spacious!!”
“What do you think? It’s amazing, isn’t it?” Luca said, proudly puffing out her chest.
“It’s amazing, but I feel uneasy about it.”
“…Yes, I know what you mean.”
I’m sorry, but I feel uneasy.
“Why are you worried about such trivial things, partner? A man shouldn’t be bothered by such things,” Crazy Bear said.
“Well, Cra, there are no rooms or furniture.”
Wait a minute. Why am I saying that when I came here to camp?
However, my pondering was interrupted by the coachman’s desperate voice.
“Hey, customers! Where are you? If you’re alive, please answer me!”
Oh no, we’re being searched for. It’s no wonder he’s surprised to see a castle suddenly appear.
“We’re here!”
“Hey, wait a minute! Why are you inside this suspicious building? Get on the carriage. Hurry up and escape, both of you!”
It seems like he came to rescue us.
Even though there are no enemies.
“I’m sorry for causing you trouble. This is like a slightly larger tent, so it’s okay.”
“A tent?”
Well, it’s a fake tent actually.
“We just made it with magic a little while ago.”
“You made it? This entire castle?”
“Well, it’s a bit of a failure, but please come inside.”
You’ll understand if you see inside. For now, let me show one person. The coachman, who was trembling with fear, entered the castle. His face was filled with surprise.
“Wow! It’s too spacious. You made this in just a moment? Even though there’s nothing inside, it’s amazing!”
Because he raised his voice, Luca trembled and hid behind my back.
However, it seems like Crazy Bear’s bragging nature can’t be helped.
“Hey, hey, hey, are you really mesmerised by just this? A ghost house with luxury furniture is even more awesome. They always require a supply of magic, but it’s possible with the help of partner’s Mana Buff.”
“What? There’s more amazing than this?!”
Thanks to Crazy Bear, the coachman came incredibly excited and looked at me with great expectation.
“Um, Luca, can you do it?”
When she nodded, her head hit my back, so we abandoned the castle and began to build the ghost house.
It’s supposed to be next to the fake castle.
Tonight, it’s already the third place.
Luca drank mana potion, probably to replenish her magic, and rummaged through her item bag before taking out a catalyst dollhouse and throwing it into the air.
“Ghost House!”
The thrown dollhouse became bigger and bigger, and a mysterious black misty mansion appeared, shaking the ground. It’s a solid type.
Uh, I don’t know why but there’s a terribly unpleasant atmosphere coming out of the mansion. Can we really live here?
“Come on, partner, don’t be sluggish. Hurry up and give the mana buff! If you’re slow, it will disappear.”
“Mana buff!”
Crazy Bear slapped me with a paw, and I ended up casting a magic power +1 buff. Was it good to cast it?
No, it’s not working!
Strange screams like “Kyohohoho!” can be heard from the mansion, but maybe it’s safe.
(Tln: Brook, is that you?)
“Excuse me, sir, did you hear something like a scream just now?”
“Crazy Bear, … is this really okay?”
“Don’t worry about it. Shadow is just a small fry monster, so don’t worry about the small things.”
No, I’m worried.
It’s completely an accident waiting to happen.
If I could communicate with Luca, this wouldn’t have happened.
“I’m sorry to bother you, sir, but can you please make the ghost house disappear? It’s dangerous.”
I bit my lip in frustration as I apologized to the coachman. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.
“I can’t do that.”
The coachman’s face twitched.
Don’t underestimate the effect duration extension.
“Why not?”
“It won’t disappear.”
As both of them had a pale expression, a sound like a scream, “Gyawaa!” could be heard, as if representing their hearts. They trembled with fear.
“Nice one, Master! You got a dumb Shadow in just one shot.”
Drawn to the excited Crazy Bear’s voice, Luca looked happy shining the flashlight on the mansion.
“Huh? What’s Luca doing?”
It seems like she’s searching for Shadows with the Neo Lantern.
Luca’s light caught a black fog-like enemy Shadow, which contorted its body before disappearing with a final cry.
“Oh… it seems like she defeated it.”
“Oh, I see. You can defeat them with a flash.”
The plan was decided.
After a light dinner, we decided to clean up the mansion. We would take care of the Shadow in the haunted mansion while the coachman would pitch the solo tent.
The roles were perfectly divided.
We heard a creaking sound as the front door opened.
“From now on, we will purify all the Shadows.”
“Leave it to me!”
“I got your back, Aix.”
We rushed into the suspicious room and searched with the light. We found it. The fleeing shadow was relentlessly illuminated with the light, and with a scream of “Gyawa!” it was purified.
It was kind of fun.
“Sorry, partner, it got away.”
“Luca, follow it.”
“Alright, I’ll protect your back.”
Cleaning up one place at a time seemed to be the key. By the time ww finished the big cleanup in the vast mansion, we were exhausted. Luca went to take the bath first while Aix dived onto the sofa.
“Finally done. You go first, Luca.”
“Thanks, Aix.”
As I roll over and look at the clean ceiling after flipping over, the sense of fulfillment wells up in me as the black haze dissipates. Ah, I might want to just sleep like this.
Suddenly, Crazy Bear enters my view.
“You did great, partner.”
“You too, Crazy Bear.”
As I played with Crazy Bear, I heard the sound of Luca’s footsteps who had already gone to take a bath, so I handed him a juice that I had chilled with ice balls.
“Here you go, Luca.”
“Thanks, Aix. It was fun.”
Luca, who had just gotten out of the bath, had a very attractive blush on her pale, pink skin.
Her lips kissed the glass of juice, and her slender throat made a gulping sound.
“Ajx? What’s wrong?”
“No, it’s nothing. I had fun too. Well then, I’m off to take a bath.”
I kept it to myself that my heart was pounding a little.
With a very gentle smile, Luca sees me off as I head to the bath.
I don’t know why, but my heart is pounding painfully.
As I open the door to the bath, a strong fragrance like that of a flower fills the air along with the warmth of the steam.
I warm my body with hot water, wash my hair vigorously to clear my mind, and rinse away the dirt and tiredness of the day.
I could use a cleanse magic for a quick clean-up, but I like the bath.
Once I get in the tub, it’s bad.
The warmth seeps into my tired body from cleaning, and my body feels like it’s melting. I could turn into a slime like this.
As I opened the window with a clatter, cold air came in, and steam ran over the surface of the water. In the distance, I could see colorful tents lit up.
Ah, this is the best.
