(EP.61)Mansion #1
061 – Haunted Mansion #1
According to the rules, the cadets of the Ark are not allowed to leave the site without permission.
However, if there was a time when access to the outside city of Gracia was free, it was the weekend.
On weekends such as Saturdays and Sundays, Ark students go out to the city to buy necessary items and rest or work part-time.
Heroes from adventurers sometimes run quests.
Because of this, the church’s city of Gracia was bustling with the bustling Ark cadets every weekend.
I was also thinking of going out of school for the first weekend today.
Today is the twin daughter of the Draco family. Because it was the day I had an appointment with my older sister, Mirna Draco.
So while I was preparing to go out, someone knocked on the door.
smart.
Without a moment to say anything, the dormitory door opens. Soon, a blue-eyed teen star-like girl with voluminous blonde hair tied back appeared.
“Hey, I was bored so I came to play.”
Elgar von Lioness in a sweatshirt entered the dormitory. Then he looks at me and sees the bandages and casts wrapped around my arm and frowns.
“What did you hurt?”
“Ah, this is… .”
When I tried to explain, Elgar clicked his tongue.
“Is your opponent more seriously injured?”
“I will.”
Maybe the ribs were broken.
Seeing blood spewed out of his mouth, I think his internal organs must have been seriously injured. It doesn’t look like he’s dead, but he’ll have to suffer for a few days or months.
Elgar said as she sat down on my bed.
“I heard about it too. You said you were hanging out with the Silvers or something? I knew it was going to be awkward. Did you try too hard?”
“Yes. So what about my shabby room?”
“It’s just nothing. It’s this weekend, so I was going to ask you to go out to town together. We need to buy some things.”
That’s right.
It seems that Elgar wanted to spend this weekend with me.
I didn’t pay much attention to how Elgar is doing lately. Unfortunately, I had a contract with Mirna Draco today.
“I’m sorry, but I’m busy today.”
“What? Are you rejecting my offer now?”
Elgar roars like a hungry lioness. My roommates, who were sitting quietly in the dormitory, trembled.
“done. I hate you too.”
swish.
Elgar finally turned her head and walked out of the room.
It looks like it’s been cracked tight. I’m already starting to get nervous about whether Elgar torn Elgar will have an accident that worries me for nothing.
Then said Benjamin, who was holding his breath.
“Is that Young Lioness? Oh my gosh, I’ve only heard of the story, but I’ve never seen the real thing! You are very powerful in many ways.”
It sounds like your chest is big.
Then Hans spoke to me with a serious face.
“Friend, to refuse to be escorted by such a noble lady. I can’t quite understand it.”
They seemed to regret that I turned down Elgar’s offer. After all, Elgar is a girl that many people admire.
But what can’t be helped can’t be helped.
That was then.
The door opened and Elgar revealed her face again. Then he reaches into the room with his hands and moves his fingers in a popping motion.
“Hey, you two. Follow. fat and fat. I have something for you to do.”
Apprentice Benjamin’s face brightened at that.
“Miss Lioness. It’s an honor to meet you-.”
“Okay. I have to carry my luggage today, so be prepared.”
“load… ?”
Today, instead of me, those guys will be the targets of Elgar’s bullying.
I decided to mourn only in my heart.
* * *
“Because it seems that there are a lot of undead on the outskirts of the fortress city. You have to be careful.”
I listened to the warnings from the staff of Ark and got a travel pass and went out to the city.
I don’t know how long it’s been to go out alone like this, so I feel a little liberated.
The time is now around ten o’clock in the morning.
First of all, I walk to the road that leads to the jewelry store.
“A blue eagle feather. Where did you get such quality feathers? It’s rare to see blue eagles.”
To the question of the young mistress of the jewelry store, I simply summed up the answer, “I picked it up by accident.”
The store owner doesn’t ask any more questions and makes the products I asked for right away.
I took care of it and proceeded to the address I had given Mirna Draco in advance. The Draco family’s villa is located somewhere in the city of Gracia.
“Is this right?”
Heading to the outskirts of the city, I found a cemetery full of old tombstones and gloomy dried up trees. In the middle of it, I saw a mansion full of crows.
It was early, not even lunchtime yet, but it was dark over there, so it was eerie because it looked like a haunted house on a midwinter night.
It also feels like a haunted waste building.
Are you really here?
I felt a little terrified of entering the Draco family villa. The Draco family was the main culprit behind the downfall of the Angmar family.
Maybe I am going into the mansion of the enemy like a lion’s mouth that is wide open right now?
But I can’t help but be frightened like this.
I stood in front of the huge iron gate leading to the garden and knocked on the doorknob.
“… … .”
I wondered if someone would come out, and the skeletons I thought were just simple skull decorations were full of them, and they screamed and opened the door.
“eww.”
I was startled and almost screamed.
But let’s pretend we’re okay, go through the gate and walk through the entrance to the garden. I kept getting the creepy feeling that someone was watching me.
ㅡ Zuzzuzuzuzu.
ㅡ Swap Sussuk.
And as the cries of unknown beasts continued to be heard from somewhere, I moved faster and stood in front of the mansion.
“Are you there, Draco? This is Tae Oh Gospel.”
When you knock on the door of the mansion, the door burst open as if you were waiting. Beyond that, I could see Draco’s young girl wearing a school uniform, even though it was the weekend.
“It’s late, commoner.”
Judging by her cold attitude, she looks like Mirna Dracoin, who is on her older sister’s side.
“You think you are on time? It was before lunch.”
“The Draco family has lunch at 10 am. Commoners will be an hour late.”
I didn’t know that again.
I bowed my head moderately and entered the mansion. Inside the mansion, it was like a dark room, with most of the windows covered with curtains.
While only candles and chandelier flames dimly light the surroundings.
Skeleton fragments scattered everywhere and self-portraits of people screaming and screaming terribly were enough to make my mind wander.
Isn’t this a complete haunted house?
It was immediately understandable that Elgar booed Draco’s daughter, accusing her of being “a gloomy guy hiding in the shade.”
If you spend every weekend in such a gloomy place, it’s only natural that your personality will be twisted and rough.
But I can’t help but be overwhelmed like this.
So, I decided to take out the secret weapon I had been carrying.
“Here, this is in return for inviting me to the villa of the great Draco. It is small, but it contains sincerity.”
Shh.
It was a fan made of very blue feathers.
It was a fan made from blue eagle feathers that I got while cleaning Professor Belhawk’s office yesterday. I thought that Mir and Draco, who always carry a fan, would like this.
“You have a much better sense than I thought, right?”
In fact, Mirna Draco gave me a very small but interesting look when she took the debt from me. He fluttered it and fluttered it and said something as if he was surprised.
“I saw a cool wind blowing. Looks like a blue eagle feather, right? I heard that they are rare creatures that only inhabit the grasslands in the south… .”
“Your aesthetics are great.”

No one dislikes receiving a gift. Unless it’s a useless gift.
I feel like Mirna Draco’s ratings for me are going up a bit.
“You are sitting anywhere. I’ll treat you to a special cup of tea.”
Shh.
Mirna Draco disappeared into the darkness in return for the gift she received from me. When you receive it, return it. It is surprisingly surprising that Mirna has a give and take ceremony.
“Well.”
After she was gone, I was left alone in the lobby of this empty mansion. Looking around, I saw a lot of furniture and sculptures using skeletons and bones.
And one more thing I noticed-.
“… … .”
that it is not popular at all.
I feel like the people who exist in this villa are me and Mirna Draco.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No movement at all
Even my sensitive half-elf’s ears can’t hear anything.
Is the rumor true?
In the end, the Draco family, who betrayed the Angmar royal family, was cursed by the Demon King, and all of them were short-lived.
What was the reason for betraying the Demon King even after accepting such a curse?
* * *
I sat in the guest room of the villa and talked a lot with Mirna.
Even if it was a conversation, it was business.
“People, you are now a warrior who entered the Ark for the revival of the kingdom in a distant kingdom. Do you know?”
“Is that such a setting? All right.”
“Becoming a fallen royal family.”
“Like the Angmar family?”
“… … .”
While talking to Mirna Draco, I secretly thought of her. The Draco family is a loyal follower of the Angmar family.
For that reason, even now, Mirna Draco considers Queen Aira a usurper and refuses to accept her authority.

Conversely, I thought that Taeo Angmar could benefit from that loyalty.
“Can it be established that the reason for the collapse of the royal family is due to betrayal and rebellion within the country, like the Angmar family?”
“Let’s do that.”
Although he readily answered, Mirna Draco’s mood seemed to be unfavorable. Talking about the Angmar family is not very pleasant.
However, I wasn’t the only one who would blow away the chance to have a conversation between the two of them.
“but. Come to think of it now, I have a lot of questions. The Angmar family was full of such powerful power and treasures. How could it have collapsed in one day?”
“Because there was a good reason. The unity of your families must have been something that even the demon king Solomon could not withstand.”
“Yes. your family. But isn’t it strange? House Draco must have been a loyal ally of House Angmar. What was the reason for the sudden return? .”
“Is that story important to our conversation now? Don’t cross the line, commoner.”
“… … .”
After all, mediocre tactics don’t work. This guy is also a villain next to Elgar and Aira.
So, it was time to put some regret behind it.
“The Draco family did not betray the Angmar family. You and the foolish people may not know.”
“You didn’t betray the Angmar family. What does that mean?”
“that… .”
“that… ?”
There was a slight hesitation on Mirna Draco’s face.
