065 – It’s hard to buy my own house! #5

065 – It’s difficult to buy my own house! #5

After sending Naru to school, I usually played at home.

It was my daily routine to hang around all morning and go to the school gate in time for Naru to leave school, hold Naru’s hand and leave school.

But today was different.

“Sifno, please bring Naru in time for dismissal. You can play with the kids until dinner time.”

“Muhh, I only believe in this Sifnoi… !”

After hiring a new babysitter, Sifnoy, my schedule has loosened up a bit.

The morning when everyone went to work and went to school.

I now headed for number 5 street.

It was in a mansion I had bought, but it was full of all sorts of odds and ends, so it wasn’t a place for people to live yet.

I’m going to have to clean hard today too.

Coincidentally, there was also a service today.

“I promised to buy you dinner if you help me with the work, so you must keep it, Judas.”

“Damn it, tight guy. People are extremely suspicious. Have no doubts about your religious dogmas—isn’t there such a thing?”

“There is a doctrine to doubt everything.”

It was Enkidus, a monk who calmly put his palms together.

Anyway, with this feeling, Enkidus and I arrived at the mansion at number 5.

He entered the garden, where all sorts of objects were thrown away at random, and was greatly impressed.

“What a disorderly mansion. In a sense, Judas, it is a place that fits you.”

“What man?”

“But it would be difficult to raise children in a place like this. Let’s quickly tidy up the surroundings. Tidying up your surroundings and emptying your mind is also a form of discipline.”

The bald guy put the things piled up around him into the prepared sack one by one while talking about old-fashioned things.

The bald guy and I have quick hands, so the work progresses smoothly.

It was natural.

Even if it’s me, the bald monk is also a strong manpower that has broken through the platinum level.

Enticing a guy who would do well in subjugating bandits by himself for dinner and having him clean the trash.

I thought it was a truly extravagant and luxurious service helper.

This is why relationships are so important to people.

Living in a group was more beneficial to survival than living alone.

With that feeling, it’s lunch time.

Enkidus and I were able to clean up all the garbage in the garden.

All that remains is the interior.

“It is said that it has been abandoned for quite a long time, but after organizing it like this, it is quite a tasteful place. It seems that the mind of the small monk is becoming quite peaceful.”

“Is that so?”

I was just bothered

People’s attitudes are different even if they do the same thing.

I looked at the garden through the eyes of a monk who, no matter how I looked at it, seemed not to be the same age as me.

A tree on which a swing is hung.

A very small pond that was revealed when the garbage was removed.

Even the flower beds and small fountains where flowers are likely to have been planted, it was truly tasteful.

There was no water in the pond and fountain, but it was clear that if a tap was drawn in, it would be a cool stream in the summer or a pond full of carp.

-Oh, heck… ! There’s a lot of carp!

ㅡIt seems to be a garden suitable for aristocrats. That Cecily must be worth taking a walk.

As I was imagining children like Naru and Cecily splashing around in the water, Enkidus hinted at me.

“To be honest.”

“To be honest?”

“Honestly, Judas, I never thought you would be buying a house. A house is the subject of stay. You are a person like the wind, so you cannot stay in one place for long.”

“That’s right.”

I toured under countless inns and tunnels on this continent of Pangea.

that was comfortable

I had never stayed in one city for a long time, so I didn’t need a house.

Even in the Kingdom of Ordor, where I was active as my base for a long time, I lived in a small rented room.

However, I have made my home in this Phrygian principality.

It meant that he had to live for a long, long time using this principality as his base.

Maybe for the rest of my life until I die of old age.

is not it.

Since Naru said something big will happen in 6 years, I might not be able to live until I die of old age.

As I thought about it, a small anxiety came over me.

“Enkidus, are you doing well in tracking down Mara?”

Nocturne’s cult Mara, a monk from Tenebris.

Enkidus came to the Principality of Phrygia in order to chase after Mara, the apostate monk who had escaped by killing the monks of the Ascension of Illumination and stealing his secret wages.

If it was originally the same, I would have passed it off as if it just happened like that.

As long as I found out that the purpose of Tenebris was the “Resurrection of the Demon King,” I couldn’t stay still.

There was also the fact that Naru overreacted to the name ‘Mara’.

“If it is the pursuit of the death penalty, it is still like walking in a fog. Mara was a man who seldom revealed his insides even when they practiced together. Judas, it must be like you.”

“Then it won’t be easy to catch. Let me know if you need my help.”

“It is. However, this is something our church has to deal with on its own. Judas, I don’t think I will ever borrow your hand.”

“It’s me, so it’s nice that it doesn’t bother me.”

Mara-.

I heard from Enkidus that he was a strong guy.

If you fight such a guy, your experience will go up significantly.

Then it’s difficult in many ways.

Shuk-.

Soon, Enkidus picked up a stone that had fallen on the floor.

When I squeezed it, the stone crumbled like a piece of hard bread.

“But it’s not good that you’re struggling to track it down. Judas, I would rather get help from someone you know than help from you.”

“Are you talking about Garot?”

Garrot was a great master at tracking and chasing.

It could also help with tracking down Mara.

However, there was a slight problem.

“These days, I don’t even know what that guy is doing. It sounds like you and Cecily are doing something together. It’s hard to see both of them. Well, that’s because the problem isn’t ordinary either.”

“Those who have a lot of things on their back are busy. The demon hunter also seemed to have a secret yet to be revealed. The pupils of those who are simply wandering and those who are determined are different.”

“yes?”

Was there anything else Garot was hiding from us?

I guess that’s just the case–When I thought about it, Enkidus’s golden eyes turned toward the entrance of the garden.

I also rolled my eyes following his gaze.

“… … .”

“… … .”

There was a woman standing at the entrance of the garden.

He was wearing a black ladies’ suit and holding a parasol in his leather gloved hand.

If there’s something unusual, it’s that she’s wearing pants, not a suit skirt.

His kidneys looked elongated even at a glance.

Isn’t that about the same height as me?

It was only because he was extraordinarily slender that he looked lanky.

Whether it’s because of the shade created by the parasol or because of the black suit, many things are dark, so much so that it feels like there’s a black dot floating in broad daylight.

The garden looked distorted just by standing there.

I asked a small question towards Enkidus.

“Hey, can you see it with your own eyes?”

“I see. That means you can see it with your eyes. I thought it was a ghost.”

That’s right.

Enkidus must have had the same impression as me.

I got up from my seat.

and shouted outside.

“Are you from real estate? It’s private property here. You must leave.”

“… … .”

The woman did not respond to my words.

It was quite strange to see him not even moving.

“Didn’t you hear? This is private property, so get out of here.”

That’s when I shouted again.

Squeak-.

The parasol in the woman’s hand was tilted back a little.

The exposed face was white.

The hair tied back is also white.

Unlike gray hair, which is a symbol of old age, it seemed to be innate.

He was wearing an eyepatch on one eye, and the eyepatch was made of rather luxurious leather and had a butterfly pattern embroidered on it.

butterfly pattern.

When I was feeling a strange sense of deja vu, a woman approached me.

“I am Friede, the Wizard of Dawn. Judas, I came to see you.”

“Are you my fan? But you can’t come in like this on your own.”

I said with caution.

One hand went to her waist so she could pull out the dagger at any time.

A woman who identified herself as Friede soon added.

“I have a ‘quest’ for you.”

“Request… .”

request.

The request to the thief was limited.

Rob the secret safe of the nobles next door.

Please take the secret – it’s the same thing.

At this point, I have no choice but to ask.

“Who? Dawning what?”

“I am Friede, the Wizard of Dawn. Another name is Friede von Walpurgis, a wizard who was awarded ‘white’ by the Mage Tower. She is the sister of your colleague, Brigitte.”

* * *

Does Brigitte have a sister?

I didn’t even notice it at all until I introduced myself.

Because she doesn’t look like Brigitte at all.

Aside from being a beauty, they had nothing in common with their facial features.

hair color.

eye color.

And this one had pretty big breasts.

I’m holding it tight in my neat suit, but I can easily recognize the treasure in the back of the safe.

However, judging from the fact that my heart was not greatly affected, he was probably older than me.

At least 5 years old, at least 30 years old.

Seeing the ring on the ring finger of her left hand, she must have already been married.

I asked, biting off several thoughts.

“What about the contents of the request? I will listen and decide.”

“I want someone to steal a book I have. It was handcrafted about two centuries ago, and there is only one left in the world.”

Is it theft of books?

Books were a luxury in this world.

Once upon a time, there were thieves who specialized in stealing books in the mountains of Kowloon.

Was the name Text Bonn?

To be honest, I don’t like reading books, but I did like stealing.

“What is the title of the book?”

“Platan’s ‘God’. El Cladeco, the golden wizard of the Principality of Phrygia, has it. A book that has only one left in the world.”

El Cladecora.

Even if we didn’t, we were also keeping a close eye on it, but the timing is amazing.

I pretended to hide my feelings and said it in a calm manner.

“How far have you been looking for compensation? I’m a bit expensive.”

After all, I’m the world’s greatest thief.

It is natural to receive the highest pay.

Then the woman said.

“We, the Walpurgis family, can curse you. A curse that eats away at your soul. Do you ever hear hallucinations? Have you ever had nightmares?”

“Not at all.”

It was when I shook my head.

Someone came running from the garden with a pababat.

“Ow, shack… ! The garden has already been cleaned… !”

It was Naru.

Has it already been dismissal time?

Naru ran vigorously and hugged my leg.

Soon after, I saw a woman standing in front of me and quietly hid behind me.

“… Naru is an aunt… ! No, I think we met somewhere… !”

“Aru… . It’s Aru… ?”

The woman who identified herself as Brigitte’s older sister made a fine wrinkle between her brows, as if there was something bothering her.

Then he murmured in a very small voice that even I couldn’t hear.

“… Coolus… ? no… .”

“Oh clothes! Santa Clause? Naruto likes Santa Claus too! Go through the chimney of someone else’s house and break into the house! Daddy said Santa Claus is a legendary thief!”

Warak – It was Naru who raised both hands.

Santa Claus is a legendary thief.

They don’t even steal things, they give them away.

It was a thief at a level that even I could not dare to achieve.

Soon, Brigitte’s older sister, Friede, handed me a small note.

“Tomorrow there will be Walpurgis Night at number 1. I hope you will also participate. I will tell you more about the request and the reward at that time.”

Woo woo woo-.

Soon, a woman holding a parasol rose high into the air.

Seeing this, Naru seemed to be greatly shocked.

“Dad, a person is flying in the sky! Magic!? It’s awesome! People fly through the sky! kill me! You’re flying around like a princess ant!”

Was it the first time I saw the magic of flying?

This is the second time I’ve actually seen it.

Valdez, the wizard of devastation, was flying in the sky.

They say it requires a high degree of mana control.

They said even Brigitte couldn’t fly.

Indeed, Brigitte’s older sister.

Am I a wizard enough to be awarded the ‘white’?

However, his personality was self-righteous and arbitrary.

“I never said that I would accept the request. It’s embarrassing to give out invitations at will. What is “Walpurgis Night” again?”

Seeing the scruff of the nape of my neck made me feel bad.

should be ignored

As soon as she thought that, Naru shouted.

“Walpurgis night! The Grand Festival of Wizards and Witches! I’ve heard of Naru! I went with my dad and mom! Cecily was there too! Oh wow… ! Memories overflow… !”

Naru made a fuss.

Is there something to point out?

can’t you do it

I’ll have to talk to Brigitte later – Enkidus murmured softly when he thought about it.

“A homunculus… .”

“what is that? What magic spell is it?”

I asked.

Come to think of it, it felt like the woman was muttering ‘Homunculus’.

Then Enkidus shook his head.

“The small monk cannot lie according to doctrine, so I will remain silent.”

“Weird guy.”
