Kujibiki Tokushou: Musou Harem-ken Volume 1 Chapter 18

I left the Salamus Trading Company, telling them to deliver everything I bought to the mansion, and thought about it as I wandered around at random.

 I guess I can get one lottery ticket for every three hundred silver.

I didn’t get all the details of my purchases.

I was given one when I paid for the Miu and three hundred silver spent for the painting.

When I bought a batch of bracelets for 1,600 silver, I got five.

If that’s the case, I think it makes more sense to think of one lottery ticket for every 300 silver.

That being the case, there is one thing that bothers me.

It reminded me of a list of prizes at the lottery.

The fourth prize was a fifty percent discount shopping coupon.

I’m wondering if I get one for every three hundred or one for every one hundred and fifty when I shop with a fifty percent discount.

I want to draw the lottery.

I have a total of seven lottery tickets right now, and cow I’ve come this far, I’d better save up three more tickets and draw eleven in a row.

That’s nine hundred silver coins, and I don’t think I’ll be able to accumulate that quickly.

I thought about it for a moment and moved on, using my warp feather.

To the wilderness between the cities of Roizen and Reiuse. I just rode through it on horseback.

So I say to Eleanor.

「I need you to send out the zombie soldiers.」

(Army of the Dead? What’s going on?)

「Just do it, please.」

Eleanor was able to access that lottery room, but I’m pretty sure she couldn’t see the lottery ticket over here.

I couldn’t be bothered to explain, so I asked anyway.

(You’re pushing me around. That’s not very nice.)

Eleanor said, but right after that, something gradually took shape in front of my eyes.

She complains about it, but she didn’t say she wouldn’t do it.

I regripped Eleanor.

I want to hunt skeletons and zombies and get lottery tickets.

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

「Eh?」

(Eh?)

I heard my voice and Eleanor’s.

Eleanor had summoned the skeletons, but they hadn’t appeared.

Instead, a girl appeared.

A young girl in a maid’s outfit, I remember seeing her somewhere before.

「……The ghost in the mansion?」

I became convinced as I mumbled.

Yes, it looks like the ghost I defeated at the mansion.

However, she doesn’t have the evil spirit-like feeling that I experienced at that time. She looks transparent, but other than that, she’s just a normal girl.

(Where am I?)

「……It’s between Roizen and Reiuse.」

(I know where Roizen is, but Reiuse?)

She seemed to be able to carry on a normal conversation.

「Eleanor, what’s this all about?」

(I’d like to know too!)

「Where are the zombie soldiers?」

(I’ve been trying to summon them for a while now, but they’re not responding. What the hell? This has never happened to me before.)

Apparently, it’s not a lie. Eleanor’s voice echoed in my head because it sounded like she was in distress.

「Try moving this ghost in and out as if you were moving a zombie soldier in and out.」

(Okay)

The ghost maid disappeared and then reappeared.

Once she disappeared, she reappeared.

「Looks like you can do it.」

(Why?)

「How would I know?」

All I know is that Eleanor’s summoning went from zombie soldiers to this girl ghost.

That and the fact that there’s no easy way to get lottery tickets anymore.

(My name is Tania, Tania Chitiakis.)

「I’m Yuuki Yuuki Kakeru. Do you know who I am?」

Tania stared at my face.

(Ah, the person who came into the mansion!)

「Ah, you remember.」

((I remember now. ── I’m so far away from the mansion?!)

「You couldn’t leave before?」

(Un, I was trapped there for a long time. It was boring, and people on the outside seemed to be having fun, which made me angry, and I began to envy them.)

「I guess that means you’re a location bound ghost.」

I could almost see the main points of story.

 I don’t know why, but it means that I was able to get the earthbound ghost out of the mansion through Eleanor.

(Could it be that Kakeru took me out of the mansion?)

「I can’t be sure, but I’m thinking it might be.」

(Really?! Thank you!)

Tania hugged me. You’re a ghost and you can’t hug me.

(Thanks, Kakeru!)

When I saw Tania’s bright smile, I thought this was much better than skeletons and zombies.

When I returned to the villa, I found Andreu of Andreu Trading Company had arrived.

I’ve always sold mountain oxen to him, but this is the first time I’ve seen him at the mansion.

We sat across from each other in the parlour.

「Can I help you?」

「I have a favour to ask.」

「You mean the mountain ox?」

「No, that’s not a problem at all ……, but if you could continue with mountain ox and help me with I’m about to ask you to do, that would be great.」

「What’s happening?」

「You know about Alexis, don’t you?」

「Alexis…… Oh, those four.」

Andreu nodded.

Alexis is the name of the leader of the quartet that first led him to join Andreu Trading Company.

I went to the trading company to deliver mountain oxen almost every day after that, so I saw him a few times and even talked to him a little.

He was an ace in the Andreu Trading Company, but he was also the guy who was surpassed by me.

「What’s wrong with Alexis?」

「He’s been seriously injured.」

「Hm?」

I furrowed my brow.

「In fact, a few days ago, monsters started appearing in certain places in large numbers. Originally, it was an empty area, but because of its sudden appearance, the adventurer’s guild in Roizen received a request to take it down. By the way, I’m also involved in the management of the Adventurers Guild.」

Adventurer’s Guild, I didn’t know there was such a thing.

「The monsters are not that strong. However, the speed at which they were multiplying was unbelievable. The Adventurer’s Guild investigated and sent in almost all of their adventurers. That’s where the battle became fifty-fifty.」

「I’m starting to get the picture. Alexis was injured badly when he was sent out there.」

「Yes, and to make matters worse, Alexis’ entire party was seriously injured. So much so that they won’t be able to move for a month. With Alexis and the other three out of the picture, the battle situation went from bad to worse.」

「So you mean you want me to do something about it.」

「That’s what I mean. Of course, you will be rewarded Honestly, I’m in the biggest pinch since the founding of the Adventurers Guild, and I’m willing to pay whatever it takes.」

「Got it.」

I responded immediately.

Defeat monsters and get rewards.

I might even get a lottery tickets while defeating them.

It was a request that I had no reason to refuse.

In order to defeat them, I was registered as an adventurer with the Adventurer’s Guild.

They want to make it look like they were defeated by someone who belonging to the guild.

That’s fine, but I didn’t like the fact that …… I had just been registered and was ranked D.

I know that’s where I’m supposed to start at first, but I asked her and she said Alexis was an A. I decided to move up in rank when this was all over.

The people from the adventurer’s guild led me to a place where they said there were a lot of monsters.

「Hey, something looks familiar around here.」

(……)

Eleanor didn’t respond.

「And that monster thing looks familiar.」

(──♪)

Eleanor whistled in my head.

It’s a bit too deliberate.

We were led to the forest where we saved Mari a few days ago.

Fighting the adventurers in the distance are skeletons, zombies, and other familiar monsters.

「I’ll be lecturing you later.」

(It’s not my fault!)

I pulled out Eleanor, who was emitting a black aura, and headed towards the monsters.

When the monsters noticed us, it looked at me and Eleanor and backed away, clearly spooked.

I’m sorry, but unlike the …… soldiers, I’m not letting you guys go.
