Chapter 173 – Demolition
“Ooh, Mr. Unho!”
Among the two men and women, the younger man saw me and made a very happy face.
“Hmm? Alberton? Eileen is here too.”
“Hey, it’s Albert. Mr. Unho.”
“It was a joke.”
I really didn’t know what to say, but I evaded it in a sensible way.
“Ah…Yes…”
“Go in and wait. What are you doing here?”
“That, that…”
Looking at their confused expressions, I knew it.
Still, Eileen, who pretended to be a wizard, was at least a little better, but Albert looked like a dirty mercenary to anyone.
I didn’t think the hotel guard would let me in.
‘Did I just wait without any countermeasures?’
Whatever the reason, I wasn’t particularly curious, so I decided not to ask them for details.
“The fact that you guys came to me. Did Aileen decide to become my disciple?”
“Yes! Unho! I hope you will guide Eileen well.”
Albert bowed his head and asked.
“Do not worry. I have no disciples now. Eileen will be the only disciple. I plan to train intensively.”
“That, is it? Thank you Mr. Unho.”
Well, I was offered a disciple of a great wizard like me, but kicking it is like tearing up the winning lottery.
“Hey, there…”
Eileen spoke carefully to her.
“Huh? What?”
“Even if I become Unho’s disciple, I don’t want to be separated from Albert.”
“Hmm…”
After becoming my disciple, trying to stay close to an extramarital man… I felt like I would need some education later.
“Eileen. This isn’t the time to be fooling around like that. This is an important time for you, a wizard.”
“That, that…”
Albert was right, but Eileen was crying.
Of course, she knows why, except for Albert.
I want to drop it right now, but…
“Do not worry. I’m also planning to stay in the slubber for a while, so it’s not like we’re breaking up very much. We will be able to meet often.”
Now was the time to reassure Eileen, who would become his disciple.
“I have something to tell you, so let’s sit down and talk.”
“Oh, you mean sitting down?”
Albert looked around as if he could find a place to sit.
There was a good place nearby.
I escorted them to the carriage.
Entering the carriage, the two opened their eyes wide and were surprised.
How many people would not be surprised to see the inside of a comfortable carriage that looks even bigger than its exterior?
“Uh, Unho-sama… This, this…”
“It’s magic.”
“Wow, that’s great.”
Albert said, looking around curiously.
“Nothing.”
I didn’t do it, but…
I didn’t see any reason to reveal the truth.
“Okay, where are you staying?”
“I am staying at an inn called Warm Supra.”
“Not you, Eileen.”
The kid seems to be fine, but he didn’t notice…
“Ah…Yes…Eileen is also staying at the same inn.”
Albert said, scratching his head in embarrassment.
“Do you have anything else to do?”
“Yes?”
“I’m asking if there’s anything else to do besides entering the labyrinth.”
“Oh, no.”
It is a story about white water.
In the labyrinth, one of the party members died and the other became incapacitated, so it was expected.
“I have something I want to entrust you with. Is that okay? The pay is decent.”
“Remuneration? No! How can I get money from my benefactor Unho? Please just speak. I will do anything.”
What is this hogu…
It was to the point where Aileen’s face showed a frustrated expression when she saw Albert, who said she would work for no pay.
Judging by the expression on Eileen’s face, she said, there was a high possibility that Eileen was always acting like a coward.
How great is the power of love…
“Uh huh. What do you see me as I am not a human being who pampers people for free.”
Aileen … I needed to take care of her image because I have a child who will become my student.
There was nothing special about me entrusting Albert with the work.
The real estate agent told me all the downsides of when I tried to purchase the mansion.
Rather than being conscientious, should I say that he was desperate to avoid being caught in the pod, even later?
One of the downsides is that rumors have already spread that it is a haunted mansion, so even if you try to do repairs or cleaning work, it will be difficult to find someone.
Even so, he looked at me worriedly as he said he was going to buy it.
Even if I say that ghosts don’t appear anymore, there’s no way people will believe it right now…
So what I thought was Albert.
What I wanted to entrust to him was the cleaning and maintenance of the mansion.
I don’t know if the repair will be a professional area or not, but even if it’s difficult up to that point, I’m going to try cleaning it.
I don’t know how far Albert can go.
If the mansion was not in a satisfactory condition, he had no intention of entering and living there.
In the meantime, I was just thinking of staying at a slumber hotel.
“Eileen wants to stay close to her for her education. How about she move to a hotel?”
“Yes? That, that…”
“Ah, don’t worry about lodging costs. As a teacher, you have to take responsibility for that.”
“That’s not it…”
“Thank you very much, Eileen.”
Albert spoke to Eileen solemnly, like his brother.
“…Go, thank you.”
Eileen smiled and thanked me.
“Eileen packs her things and Albert and I come back tomorrow. Then let Albert tell you what to do.”
“Yes, Mr. Unho! Thank you!”
Albert answered bravely.
I don’t know what I’m thankful for… But he was a polite guy.

“You bought a house?”
While we were all gathering in the hotel restaurant to have dinner together, Liliana asked me.
Did you hear from Ayla?
“Well… That’s right.”
At that time, she had nothing to say to Ayla, so she gave a vague answer, but the mansion was in no condition to live in now.
She was thinking of getting Albert to do some cleaning, but since her mansion is so big, she didn’t know how long it would take.
“That’s a really big hand. Did you go out alone today and buy a mansion?”
“Okay. However, the house is a mess, so it will be difficult to move in and live. It was rumored to be a haunted mansion.”
“A haunted mansion? Why did you buy such a mansion?”
Ayla asked, frowning as if she didn’t understand.
“I liked the big tree in that house.”
The reasons were strange, but they were also true.
“You’re emotional in a strange place.”
Liliana said she didn’t say much about it, although she gave me a quizzical look at her questioning the reason for my purchase.
“Didn’t you say that it’s so messy that it’s rumored to be a haunted mansion, so it’s hard to live in right now?”
“Okay.”
“I don’t know how I can do that. Everyone pack up. I will sleep in my new house tomorrow.”
“How?”
“Whoops. Let’s leave that for tomorrow’s fun.”
Liliana gave a relaxed smile and said confidently.

Next day.
Albert diligently came early in the morning, but when he left, he ate brunch slowly and left the hotel in the afternoon.
“You need to seriously think about whether or not you have an illness.”
“Who? Me?”
“Okay. Your guy’s heat is not normal.”
Liliana didn’t seem to like the fact that I and Ayla’s morning greetings were a little late.
Of course, we won’t be skipping morning greetings because of her complaints.
Even in the midst of idle chatter,
Diligent Marie drove a carriage and arrived at the mansion I bought yesterday.
“Is this the mansion you lived in?”
“What’s this. It’s a mess… It’s more serious than I thought?”
Liliana and Ayla gave me a ridiculous look at me for buying such a mansion.
“Uh, Unho-sama… This, this…”
Albert asked me with a puzzled expression.
“Okay, I’m going to ask you to clean this house.”
At those words that confirmed his prediction, Albert made a disgusted face.
“Of course, I am not talking about doing it alone. It’s okay to use people.”
It will be hard to find, but…
“Did you say Albert? You don’t have to worry. You won’t have to clean up.”
Liliana said.
“What do you mean by that?”
“We will demolish that mansion.”
“Demolition…Suddenly? I admit that it’s a messy mansion that makes me feel that way, but…”
“Destroy the mansion to secure a site and put this on top of it.”
Liliana pulled out an item from subspace.
It was a model of a familiar mansion.
Eileen, Albert, and Marie, who hadn’t seen Liliana’s magic, looked bewildered.
My elf friends and I knew.
That this is not a simple mansion model.
It is a mansion where she has reduced the house she used to live in with her magic.
“How is it? Wouldn’t this mansion be better than that shabby one?”
“Surely…”
The pattern engraved on Liliana’s parasol emitted a subtle light.
And as she waved her parasol, her magic spread around her.
“I put a barrier so that the commotion in this place doesn’t leak out. Now all we have to do is demolish it.”
Liliana then looked at me.
“Me?”
“Yeah, Unho I’m talking about you. Who else but you?”
