In a Different World with a Smartphone
# 101 Abandoned castle, and ghost.
The castle fort, he said, was once inhabited by a lord. Apparently, His Majesty the Emperor's trustworthy lord at the time was a serious figure who was admired by the inhabitants and famous for his generous policies and good governance.
But when there is, this lord changes his character with galleries. My beloved wife died. Then the lord became trapped in the castle, and eventually a case began to occur in that territory. One missing person after another came out to the people. And one of the residents sees the scene where the village daughter is abducted by the lord. To check things out, the inhabitants all headed to the castle.
But there's no gatekeeper who's supposed to guard the castle gate. On the contrary, there was no one in the castle left alone until he reached servants, knights and graduates. What the inhabitants began to wonder about saw in the dungeons were piles, mountains and mountains of abandoned corpses. What the lord was doing was researching "resurrection of the dead" a secret law that revives his beloved wife. Those who were in the castle were sacrificed on that experimental platform, and when it ran out, they took the proper inhabitants and continued their research.
The inhabitants who had fled with their lives appealed to the Empire. The emperor at the time turned to the soldiers, and the lord was caught lightly. And he was executed on the spot.
But that's not the end of this story. Eventually a new lord went to this castle, but the first dies of illness, the second dies of horsemanship when he takes a long ride, and the third is stabbed by his own wife, one after the other. Rumors began to rise that it was the curse of the former lord out of no-one. Because the fourth new lord was reluctant to dwell in the castle, in the end the castle became abandoned and abandoned.
Naturally, the villages around us were lonely and people stopped leaning on them. And this castle will be the home of bandits and bandits. But as no one could continue to live in this castle. And all the bandits that were caught said unto them:
"There are ghosts living in that castle," he said.
"Is that the castle?"
"About 100 years ago."
Curse Castle Hey...... It's a common story, and I might have been scared if I'd been here at midnight, but I'm just not scared in the daytime. The sky is clear and the sky is blue with no clouds. Clear.
What came was amber and coral on the usual guild members and newly added Lou, the Obsidian Summoner Trio. Seeing an old castle that creeps in front of us, I arm myself unexpectedly. There's definitely something going on here.
"You have permission from His Majesty the Emperor, right?
"Yes, if you break it, rebuild it, and let it go."
All right. Then don't hesitate to ask for every castle. It's a little bigger than the castle designed by the workshop, so I don't think there's enough material. Well, if it's not enough, then I'll decide to buy the shortfall.
"Then expand the gates and transfer to Brunhild from castle to castle."
"... wait. Before we do that, we should check the castle. It's possible that bandits, beasts, undead, etc. are nesting."
"And ghosts too."
Mix Linze's advice back with Else laughing. Apparently she doesn't believe in the story of ghosts coming out. My face looks like it's caught on.
It's certainly a hassle to have extra guys inside. Maybe we should explore the castle just to make sure.
Through the castle gate you enter the castle and reach the entrance hall. I could see spider nests and dusty conditioning in the dim.
"Then let's split up into three pairs and look around. If anything happens, you can contact me through Amber and the corals. Yumina and Lou, Amber, Lindsay and Octopus, Coral and Obsidian, Else will go around with me."
"What, oh, that's good. Then we'll go around from there!
Else walks in the back with Stasta in a bummer. But I immediately stopped pitterly and turned this way.
"Look, look! I'm coming, winter night!
Linze laughs when she looks at it and tickles. Apparently, all twin sisters are prospects. Run a small run to Else and walk out about the side. Everyone scattered into the castle.
Looking out the window, it looks like a cloud came out. I wish it had been sunny earlier.
"So, does Mr. Else not like ghosts?
"Become!? What are you talking about? Yikes, ghosts, ghosts...!
"Ah, there's a white shadow behind..."
"Ahhhhhhhh!?
Else hugs me with a scream. Ouch, that hurts! It hurts more than it feels good! Isn't he a bearhug? This!?
"Me... it was a curtain... so let go...!
"... Curtains?
Before Else, who turned around, a worn yellow curtain swayed in a gap. Look at that. Else lets go of her arm and releases me.
Whoa... I thought my spine would break...
"Ka, curtains..."
Else strokes down her ho chest and gives a relieved look.
"I knew you didn't like it."
"Ugh..."
Turn this one around while turning your face bright red. He's apparently searching for an excuse as he puffs his mouth.
"... one or two of the things I'm afraid of. It's for everyone, isn't it?
"Yes, I am. Surprised."
"I don't like people I can't hit..."
Else turns to him with a soothing face. My face is still red. What a reason she doesn't like it.
Hold Else's hand like that.
"Hih......!?
"Ma, it's not that much to hide. If you're scared, I'll hold your hand like this."
"... yeah..."
Else nods small. Keeping his hands together, he peeks into one room to see if anyone is around. I knew it was pretty big, this castle. Though it's full of dusty spider nests. I don't suppose anyone has anything to say about having a nest of dust and spiders so far. Something rattled around the corner of the room when I started thinking about it.
"Hih!?
Else hugs me in the arm. [M] Two soft things pressed against my arm. [M] Good job!
The rat that created such a momentary happiness disappeared from the chorochoro and the room to somewhere.
"Rat..."
"You're okay with rats."
Normally, I thought girls would be scared of rats and cockroaches, but all the girls in this world are tough. Maybe that's not how it works.
"Let's go upstairs."
Climbing the stairs there was a large portrait of a young woman in a thin green dress in her 20s sitting in a chair and smiling. Hey, is this the wife of a murdering lord? He said he tried to bring it back to life even after committing mass murder... Well, I guess it's definitely beautiful....... it's big.
"What are you looking at?
"Huh? No, nothing!?
Else stares at me with a jit eye and turns away. I haven't lost to Yumina or Lou on boulders, but do you care that they are slightly smaller than my sister? Even though I don't care. From what I just felt, I can assure you it's enough, right?
Pull Else's hand so he can escape and head upstairs. Looking out from the hallway upstairs, the sky was increasingly cloudy. I wish it had been sunny earlier.
Amber, Coral, Obsidian. How's that? Has anything changed?
"No, Lord. This is nothing."
There's nothing here.
"There are only a few rats out there. Boring."
Apparently, there's no progress over there either. Six people are going around the room like this, and if there's a bandit or something, they're going to run, and they're going to come after us. Besides, from what I've seen around the room, it doesn't seem like anyone's been in and out for a long time, no matter what you think. It's dusty all the way down the hall. We still have our footprints. I know it's an animal, but if anything happens, it should leave a trail.
"Was it Dema after all?
"Right, Yu, there's no such thing as ghosts, is there?
"No? Yesterday Linze said that Reis, who is said to be a living spirit, Phantom, who is said to be a phantom spirit, and Specter, who is said to be an evil spirit, are probably the things commonly said to be ghosts..."
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I'll block your ears and keep you from listening to me, Else. A child?
Hi. It seems that the spiritual monsters that I said Leis and Phantom in this world, even though they are recognized, have not been demonstrated until it is something created from a dead human being. Zombies, gools, whatever. The undead system has been proven. Hmm?
Wow, you finally got off. Looking outside, it was falling apart and raining. It won't leak rain, here. No, it's been 100 years, so I probably will.
Proceeding through the dimmed castle like no other when I entered the castle, with Else clinging more perfectly to my arm than just now.
Eventually, at the end of the line, a large door with both openings appeared. Is that the lord's room?
Turn the dusty knob and open the door with a giggling noise.
Quite a large room with high ceilings. Perhaps there used to be a luxurious chandelier hanging, but now it's falling, shattered and scattered on the floor. I wonder if the hardware rusted. There was something like a chest box next to a broken fireplace, with a line of old vases on top of it. There is rusty armor in the corner of the room, creating what a difficult atmosphere to say.
"What a nasty vibe..."
Else hugs me as I freak out. Even though it's scary, it's something bold......
The walls of the room were decorated with portraits again. Now he's a gritty man with a mustache, and he's wearing clothes like military uniforms. And beside it, a woman with a plain feel was following her secretly in a plain dress. Is this an example murder lord? No, you're not. This castle has changed three times since then. Maybe this is the last third lord.
Second, I felt uncomfortable.
... Is that it? Isn't that strange? Suppose this wife is the wife of a third lord...... not big.
"... what's wrong?
"No, the portrait guy on the dance floor earlier, he's not this guy, is he?
"Speaking of which..."
When I turned my gaze to see the portrait again often, the door that should have been open, bam! and closed momentum well.
"Hiuuuuuuu!?
Else finally clings to me and hugs me. Ouch, ouch, ouch! You're not using "boost"!?
"Did it close with the wind...?
"Or the wind?
This is all I'm wearing out, there's a gap breeze, and it's not weird to have a wall with holes somewhere. Hmm?
When I clear my ears, I can hear something clattering and clattering. You rats again?
No, this sound... is that a vase? The vase is shaking in small pieces. It's not an earthquake or anything, the vase is trembling on its own.
Eventually, the vase popped up and came towards us.
"Come on!"
Avoiding it while holding Else, the vase smashed and scattered against the wall as it was. Is that it!? The classic ghost thing, the poltergeist!?
In the same way the vase flies again. Now I shot him down at Brunhild. Then now the pens, scissors and books that had been on my desk, which had fit on my bookshelf, flew toward me one after another. I will shoot them all down and slash them away. Unfortunately, Else is useless in this situation. Eventually when I wondered if the poltergeist phenomenon had subsided, the rust-laden armor in the corner of the room pulled out the sword and moved out.
"Ouioi......"
Mixed with heavy rain falling out the window for as long as possible, the lightning blinked and a loud thunderbolt sounded.
