Chapter 10 – LotteryThe 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 .
