Chapter 160
The real estate agency staff ultimately failed to dissuade Aqua from buying the haunted house.
That house originally belonged to a Noble, but the Noble fell gravely ill and sold the house to pay for treatment.
However, not long after selling it, the Noble died anyway.
And shortly after the Noble's death, this Annex-like Large House began to be haunted.
And no matter how the Ghosts gathering here were dispersed, new Ghosts would quickly gather again.
This was exclusive information provided by Wiz, the Lich lady who is an expert in handling Ghost incidents; she had also been invited to deal with this Annex Large House's haunting before, but never found any good solution.
"A Grudge-heavy Evil Spirit lurks here, but every time I come, I cannot see its existence; it's a vigilant little guy wary of Outsiders."
"Give it a rest, that's purely because your personal exorcism skills are insufficient."
After arriving here, Aqua began investigating; she seems to have the ability to obtain the living information of Dead Souls from places where the dead linger.
"Mhm, the Spirit occupying this Annex House is named Anna Filant Esterno, the illegitimate daughter born to the Noble who once owned this Large Annex and a Maid with a playful mindset, but she was not liked by the Noble, her mother also suddenly disappeared one day, and afterwards she was confined by her own father……"
Aqua murmured, explaining the situation of the Spirit that had occupied the Annex for many years in great detail.
Rather than calling it an Evil Spirit, it would be better to say it is the Soul of a Small Girl who was originally abused by her family and died of a hereditary illness, occupying this place and merely rejecting Outsiders entering her Territory.
"That child likes dolls; go buy some dolls outside to bribe her, and she should accept us living in this mansion."
Aqua finally reached a Conclusion.
"Eh, I thought you'd indiscriminately say you'd directly purify her?"
Darkness looked at Aqua with some surprise, yet spoke this line.
"What do you mean, do I look like that kind of ruthlessly evil person?"
Aqua immediately complained with dissatisfaction.
Wiz: "……"
However, Aqua is still comparatively sentimental; if she encounters a Dead Soul worthy of sympathy, she will also display the posture a Goddess should have.
Of course, Wiz is an exception; after all, Liches are all Undead Kings, what sympathy do they need, they need purification.
After going Outside to Purchase some cloth dolls and returning, Broly and the others, led by Aqua, offered this somewhat Cute tribute to the original Spirit in the Annex that had never killed anyone, merely scaring Intruders who entered.
Then, the group began cleaning up the New Home, moving the newly bought beds in, but when night came, it was still haunted as expected.
Some cloth dolls inexplicably appeared in the Room, some eerily staying in the Corner, watching the people sleeping on the beds.
Any Normal Person stared at for a Long Time would probably be Scared by this Scene, unfortunately, the ones stationed here are not Normal People at all.
Broly merely glanced, yawned, and continued sleeping; Darkness had her limbs grabbed by dolls covering her, feeling more happiness than fright on her face.
As for Wiz, perhaps because they are old Acquaintances, knowing she couldn't be dealt with, the Spirit in this Annex didn't go looking for Trouble with her.
And Aqua, since a Spirit refused a toast only to drink a forfeit, she wouldn't be polite and used Purification to teach the disobedient bad child a Lesson.
A group of cloth dolls were actually chased in reverse by Aqua, the Annex was noisy all night, and by morning Aqua clapped her hands indicating she had already taught the natives here a Lesson.
"That guy was taught obedience by me, has now accepted our tribute, and shouldn't disturb us anymore."
Aqua pointed at a Burial Mound under a Big Tree in the Corner of the Courtyard and said this; beside the Burial Mound were also placed the cloth dolls they bought yesterday to bribe the Evil Spirit.
"Although not human, being watched by a Ghost works too."
Darkness seemed quite Satisfied with this Place.
"……"
Broly glanced at the Burial Mound, and when going to Buy breakfast, bought an extra share and placed it at the Burial Mound.
Last night, he slept quite Comfortably; a pile of soft cloth dolls surrounded him, didn't fight for his Quilt, but instead acted as air conditioning for him.
The Evil Spirit's chilly Breath was inferior to when Wiz reveals her Lich Breath, but there was a large quantity, so last night it provided Broly with a Not Bad sleeping Environment.
Although Broly is immune to cold and heat, it doesn't mean he cannot feel cold and heat; normally, a temperature that lets him feel Comfortable while sleeping is somewhat lower than for a Normal Person.
"Broly, what are you looking at me for?" Wiz, who was pouring tea for Aqua, sensed the boy's Gaze and involuntarily Turned Head to look and asked.
"Nothing."
Broly Shook Head; he just suddenly had the idea of sleeping while holding Wiz in the future, after all, Wiz's body Temperature is very low.
However, considering that having another person beside him while sleeping might cause inability to sleep deeply, Broly rejected it.
Compared To sleeping together, he prefers having the Quilt to himself alone; that way he doesn't need to worry about unspeakable things that might happen in dreams, and he can also sleep well.
Having moved into the New Home, Vitality Potions still had to be made, and this matter of rushing to make Potions every day and helping sell Potions gradually made Broly feel irritable.
The busy situation caused by excessive profitability caused Wiz's Happiness Value to seem to have fallen into a state of stagnant increase. "Eh, you don't plan to continue making Vitality Potions?"
"I discovered that being too busy seems to no longer bring you happiness, Teacher Wiz."
After Vitality Potions sold explosively for a period, Broly found Wiz and spoke his mind.
Wiz rested her Chin and thought, discovering it was indeed so; before when the Magic Tool Shop wasn't profitable, she only needed to consider how to make the Magic Tool Shop profitable, but now making huge profits, she felt somewhat numb from earning.
The Lich lady felt recent days were not very happy; at least, the busy situation made her Rarely do other things anymore.
For Example, going Outside to Purchase various strange Magic Tools, and time to Teleport to Dungeons to fight monsters and collect materials also decreased.
"Then what do you plan to do, directly stop Vitality Potion production?"
Wiz asked.
"I haven't decided on this yet, wanted to ask Teacher your thoughts first."
Although the Lich lady's Happiness Value isn't rising much now, at least it hasn't Decreased; Broly worried that stopping Vitality Potions might cause the other party's Happiness Value to Decrease, so planned to Communicate with her first.
"Making money selling Potions, I still plan to continue, but being too busy is indeed Not good."
Wiz Pondered a moment, suddenly Thought Of something, and Clapped her hands.
"Right, a while ago a Succubus lady came to the shop, saying she was Willing to help act as agent selling Vitality Potions; we could perhaps hand over the selling of Vitality Potions to her."
That day being troubled by the Noble's people made Wiz almost forget this matter.
"Of Course, if you're tired from making Potions, directly stopping Vitality Potion production is also fine."
The Lich added another sentence; she was worried the boy might be tired.
However, Broly wasn't tired; he had merely made an effort to raise the Lich's Happiness Value, only to discover he couldn't do it, and that fact alone left him feeling slightly annoyed.
"I'm not tired."
Broly shook his head.
"As long as I relax a little, can I make Teacher Wiz happy?"
Broly didn't know what a Succubus was; he just wanted to know if doing this could raise the Lich's Happiness Value.
"Of course; if I can relax a little and have some free time, I would naturally be happy."
Wiz thought for a moment and nodded; right now she sells potions in the daytime morning, goes out with others to bottle potions in the afternoon, and still has to go to the Cemetery at night to soothe spirits.
This isn't 996 anymore; it's infinitely close to 007. Anything that could reduce her burden, Wiz felt she would definitely be happy about.
The sudden rise in her Happiness Value also gave Broly an exact answer: raising Happiness Value seemingly can't be forced head-on; it still requires appropriate tugging behavior.
After a slight tallying, Wiz took Broly to the Succubus Shop.
The Succubus Shopkeeper was also somewhat surprised by Wiz's sudden arrival.
It had been this long with no word; she had thought her Succubus Shop's agency request had been refused.
Unexpectedly, the Magic Tool Shopkeeper who was selling Vitality Potions explosively and collecting money until her hands went soft would suddenly seek her out.
