What the fuck kind of mansion is this?
"O Lord, is this your house?"
That's what Lina said, clinging right behind me. Copson and Maria are not talking with their mouths open.
- I will.
Mansion. No, I think it's a great mansion.
The word "mansion" is also a little vague. The size of a small palace or an adult... Anyway, it was a huge mansion of a very small size.
I was just thinking about a villa, but it's a big building.
"Some crazy lord lives in a place like this."
"But a house like that..."
The villa looked extremely heterogeneous, even though it was completely assimilated to the surrounding forest.
The dark green wall of the building appeared to have blossomed and withered repeatedly, and the unveiled part of the building had a solid line that had been subjected to wind waves for many years.
It's a building with real dog chews.
I built this fucking place and didn't take care of it, so a good house got fucked up. Anyway, it looks like a very old building.
If I had been an expert in world architecture, I could have known the year of the building, but unfortunately I have no such specialty. Nothing comes to mind except that it would have been a damn good house at the time it was built.
"Gww, this is a very large mansion... Perhaps the lord really lived."
Copson touched his jaw and attempted a cold analysis.
"... such a large mansion has never been found? Isn't that weird?"
"It's fucking weird. Fuckin 'Mursey, what's this?"
Meria noticed the need to be vigilant.
As she said, if it's such a big building, there's no reason to come and talk now. A small building may not be uncovered, but it is uncommon to grow up like this.
"... has it suddenly risen?"
It seems suspicious to receive traces of years after the sudden rise.
Did something magical happen?
"Anyway, let's investigate. That's a lot more than I expected. And it looks pretty good... It smells like money. I think there's a good chance of antiques."
Copson stepped out after pulling the knife.
"Hey, hey."
I think I'll see some blood if I go in here.
"Wait."
It's a big house.
Adventurers who came first are also more likely to make discoveries. There may be a trap inside, or there may be a crowd waiting to take their place first.
Is there something inside the mansion?
"Let's search the perimeter and get in before we go in. I hope so."
"Hmm, right judgment. Let's do that."
"Lina, stay behind me. It could be something. Don't mind."
"Yes, I'll keep that in mind."
We decided to look around the mansion first.
It was such a big building that I felt like coming to some tourist attraction. Old mansions, but still hidden luxuries.
Is this where the nobles used to live?
Either decades ago, or hundreds of years ago, when there was a city here, it was a house built by nobles or lords.
Of course, it was the house that such a person lived in, so he would have used good building materials as well. So there is also a chance that the building is still not collapsing. But, fuck, that doesn't make any sense. There's fucking trees around here.
If the mansion is abandoned and the tree does not grow in an instant, this hypothesis is abandoned. And that's why it's suspicious to have this... cursed mansion, isn't it?
- Krrrr.
I feel like I can hear the moaning of monsters around me.
"Copson, do you see any sign of anyone?"
"Well... I don't know. I don't see any significant signs. Are we the first to discover it?"
It took me a long time to spin once. It is such a large building. Even being built in the mountains made it difficult to look.
There may be a chance that the bandits are hiding inside, but if they were inside, they would have already noticed who we are.
We looked around while chewing toast and jerky.
There was nothing suspicious besides the mansion.
"... then do you go in? Are you going? Are you really going in?"
"It's a little scary... Ugh, let's just go in!"
"Once you have something, you run away. Keep in mind! But when you run, you have to protect each other as much as you can. So there's a better chance of survival."
I stepped on the courtyard of the mansion reminding us of our plans once again.
A fountain where only debris remains on the ground where weeds are abundant.
And a sculpture destroyed without knowing what it was.
"Oh, brother. I'm so scared..."
"I was more scared of what we've been through."
Though I was afraid, I was the most scared when I met the pagan giants in the basement of the Eternal Life building.
No. Was Alane more scared?
Anyway, I thought I was going to die of ginger.
"Even so... brother. But if anything happens, you're gonna protect me, right?"
"That may vary, but I brought you here, so you're responsible. But if you ask me to save you, I won't be able to stay."
I offered to come first, so whatever happens, Lina's life will be held responsible.
"Of course I didn't mean to."
"Yes, anything should move on its own feet. I'm counting on someone else's help and I'm going to the goal."
"I mean, you don't keep that word...?"
"Damn it. I'll protect you. Rest assured."
"Yes!"
Lina clings to me.
- Jaw.
So we sat in front of the big door of the mansion. The front gate was also quite large, as was the massive mansion.
"Any sign of the opening?"
Meria grabbed the shield and said,
"I don't know."
"I don't know."
"Well... open the door first. If you open the door, I'll put the shield in front of you."
While Meria was guarding the perimeter, me and Copson pushed the front door. - Kugu-ku. The big gate is open without crowds. It's not locked.
- Bugs and bumps.
As soon as the door opens, Meria, who stands in front of the shield, carefully enters the inside. We went in after her, too.
"... I don't think there's anything special."
Meria, who was giving so much power, said:
Inside, it was just a hallway.
Me and Copson, who were so vigilant, looked left and right, but didn't see any peculiarities. This is not the state the bandits occupied. However, there is a high chance that monsters will be hiding.
"Then the Barbarians. In this case, once to the right..."
"Wait. Let's see if there's any traps on the floor or on the ceiling."
The final specification is to fall into a trap and be sucked into a murder hole.
I have a duty to return to my wives with just the right amount of money. Oh, Claudie, I think I'm going to have an erection.
It's because I can't.
Last night Claudie came out in a dream and almost had a dream.
"Yeah, I was worried about that too. Let's make sure we don't have a trap."
"Then, Lina, stick to the door."
"Got it."
I took care of Meria with the shield as a must. It didn't seem like a problem. The corridor has been neglected for a long time.
I saw Cook stab the floor and wall with a knife, too.
"Well... I don't see it now. Let's move slowly."
Time was still daylight.
There will be plenty of time until sundown to investigate. If you want to run out a little, you can do it tomorrow.
- Gently.
The inside of the mansion was very quiet.
Once we agreed to go around the first floor and search the second floor, we moved to the right corridor.
"I remember going to the dungeon a long time ago because I was doing this. It was underground back then, but this is the ground. I think it's better."
Meria said.
If you only put Elise here, it's Dungeon Party completion.
"That's it. It's better to look at the open side than to go underground."
"You're right, Barbarian. You don't have to use a lamp."
In fact, it is better to look at buildings on the ground than to go underground while dealing with the Undead.
The corridor was quite long.
Mutuga Guild buildings were also quite large, but the corridors there are not even comparable.
"Uh, brother. Over there..."
"Portrait?"
I walked all the time, and I saw portraits. I carefully approached and looked at the idea that it might be expensive.
"Beauty! Beauty, Barbarian Shack!"
"Wake up, man."
The portrait was quite large and it seemed difficult to carry it. What was drawn was a woman. I don't know if she's pretty because she's so old.
Was he the owner or mistress of this mansion?
"I can't believe it's still intact... Maybe we're really the first ones in here."
That's what Meria said while watching the portrait.
Not one or two things are suspicious.
"Let's move on."
"I see."
I abandoned the portrait and allowed it to move again. A rough quote comes from a big tour of the surrounding villa. Let's check it out from the first floor.
We turned the corner and looked only at the first floor, ignoring the stairs going up to the second floor. Wide enough, the inside was quite complex.
I thought I would get lost if I was careless, even though the sunlight was coming.
Eventually, I made a simple map with Copson.
"The person who used to live here must be a memory saver."
"Do you want to go around the corner? I'll just go where I used to go."
"Hmm, I guess. But this is why I don't think I'll be able to look at all the first floor for a day. If something special doesn't happen, I think we should continue our search tomorrow."
If I go late, my wives will get angry, but I can't help it.
Mary said she was writing a map with Copson for a while.
"It's certainly too complex a structure. Maybe the others who found the mansion... didn't go missing, but lost their way in the mansion? I'm still wandering around looking for an exit!"
"Meh, Miss Meria! Why do you keep saying that?"
"Yes! That makes sense!"
"Joke. What are you afraid of?"
I started to move again after completing the map.
The villa is complex and spacious. There is a lot to explore. Steps up to the second floor are visible everywhere, and there are rare passages down to the basement.
After all, I looked at the first floor until late afternoon, but I couldn't see everything, and I didn't take any antiques.
I could only find furniture sitting in the middle of the room with lots of dust and cobwebs.
"No monsters, no bodies, no antiques. If you can't help it, you're going to take a step in vain."
Copson looked under the bed and said,
This room also had nothing.
"Then why did people disappear?"
"Umm... if there was nothing in the mansion, wasn't it because of the problem outside the mansion? There was a powerful monster nearby, and it happened to overlap with the people who were looking for the mansion."
Meria's reasoning was reasonable.
"Miss Meria. Didn't you have any rumors about missing persons in nearby villages?"
"The missing person always comes out. Maybe it's connected to the phenomenon now and the rumors are spreading."
"Oh, I think so. The rumors of the adventurer bastards are unbelievable."
Well, in the end, it was questionable.
Even if they're right, they won't be the answer to this mansion.
"Hey, let's get out of here today."
It will be okay to conduct a search starting at dawn today. There was nothing unusual about the mansion itself. I didn't see any monsters.
"What do you mean, withdraw? Shouldn't we sleep over here?"
"This son of a bitch is so frightened, he's gone out loud and fell asleep."
"Clickle, even if the mansion is suspicious, it's not more frightening than midnight.
It was pretty cold yesterday when I slept.
"Was there nothing? I think it's okay."
"I don't think that's a good idea... Lina. Can you sleep in a place like this?"
"Ugh, um... I think I'd rather be outside."
Lina also notices a reluctance.
"I too am in favour. But first, I think we should build a hideout a little further away from the mansion. In case you don't know, the bandits might come back at night."
In the end, it was decided to go out and sleep as Meria had said. I don't want to sleep here either. The mountain range is more familiar to the original adventurer than this waste price.
By sunset, we had returned to the front door where we had originally come.
I was just trying to break the window in the middle, but looking back, there wasn't a single window outside the mansion. It's a strange structure.
"Then let's get out."
I immediately pushed the door with Copson.
- Jaw.
"Hmm?"
But the door doesn't open.
"Well, why don't you open this?"
- Jaw.
