Chapter 156
"Shichen, congratulations on defeating the Demon King's army's leader—the Headless Knight Beldia. This is the guild's reward, a total of 300 million Eris." Luna looked at Shichen with a bright smile, her tone tinged with pride.
The day after they dealt with the headless rider, Shichen and Huihui came to the guild to collect their reward.
"hiss--"
"How much? Did I hear that right?"
"I've won! I've won!"
"Now we can really buy a new house!"
When Huihui and the others heard this astonishing number, they were all incredibly excited, looking like they were about to jump up.
"Thank you." Shi Chen smiled and accepted the three bags of payment.
"No, we should be thanking you, Shichen. If it weren't for you, many adventurers would be without work and would have to suffer from hunger."
"It's not that exaggerated... but isn't the compensation a bit too much?"
"This is a special reward from the guild for you, Shichen, because you dealt with the Demon King's army's officers in time, which resolved a lot of trouble."
"Really? Then I'll accept it without any guilt."
"hero!"

"Shichen, you are the pride of Axel!"
"That's right! Even more powerful than that hero, Mitsurugi Hibiki!"
"You've made so much money, aren't you going to treat us?"
The adventurers who had been in the guild since early morning started making merry together.
Shi Chen, naturally, wouldn't be stingy and said loudly, "Alright, then I'll pay for today's expenses."
"Excellent! Truly a hero, so magnanimous!"
"As expected of a lolicon, he's good at nothing else except loving lolis."
"Lolis are great, aren't they? Aren't they adorable?"
"You wouldn't... too?"
"Hey~"
Shi Chen's face darkened: "...The one who said I'm a lolicon, you'd better pay for this yourself today."
"Huh? How could this be?"
"Hahaha!"
The guild was bustling with activity early in the morning, and Shichen and the others joined in as well.
Good year has dealt with a demon king's army officer, it would be a real shame not to celebrate.
The festivities and laughter continued all day long.
The next day, Shichen and Huihui didn't get up until almost noon. After having breakfast and lunch, they went to see the house that Luna had recommended.
Now the budget is really sufficient; with this much money, you can buy a house anywhere in Axel.
Of course, you can't buy it from the lord's house or the Darkness's house.
The residence that Luna introduced was, coincidentally, the villa that Shichen valued most, which was also the mansion that Aqua and the others were originally going to live in.
The mansion is located in the suburbs and looks very impressive from the outside. It is several times larger than a modern detached villa. According to Luna, it was originally a nobleman's villa, and that nobleman was going to sell it not long ago.
Fortunately, this villa happened to be the site of an evil spirit harassment incident.
This might not sound like good luck, but Luna wouldn't introduce them to such a problematic mansion for no reason; it was only because Aqua was there.
As the high priestess, Aqua is no match for evil spirits; she can easily destroy them.
Now, with the harassment of evil spirits, house prices have plummeted, and the celebrity effect of the so-called "heroes" of the time has given them a discount. With just a small goal, Eris can buy this mansion completely.
This is why Luna introduced this mansion.
"This mansion is amazing! I love it! It's perfect for me to live here!" At the mansion's gate...
Aqua looked around the mansion and couldn't help but shout excitedly.
"Yes, I think it's great too." Huihui was equally tempted.
"Brother Shi, let's take this place, okay?" Sato Kazuma couldn't wait to move in.
"Don't rush..." Shi Chen smiled and asked Youyou, who had been silent, "Youyou, what do you think?"
"I...I think it's great too..." Youyou replied shyly, her face slightly flushed.
"Alright, then this is the place! Aqua, the exorcism tonight is up to you."
"Leave it to me!"
"But do we really have a way to exorcise the spirit?" Darkness asked worriedly. "I've heard that lately, no matter how we try to exorcise it, a new evil spirit will immediately appear in this town."
What causes evil spirits to appear?
"I don't know, otherwise the guild would have issued a raid quest already."
"That's true, but it's alright. With Aqua here, no evil spirits can do anything. I can also set up a barrier around our house to keep evil spirits out."
"A barrier? Brother Shi, are you that powerful?"
"Otherwise, how can I be your older brother?"
"As expected of Brother Shi!"
"Flattering me won't do you any good, Aqua. Go inside and exorcise the spirits. We'll wait for you outside."

"Wait a minute, let me use my spiritual vision to check the situation of this mansion first." Aqua raised her hand to shield her eyes as she examined the mansion.
"Can a psychic do something like this?" Huihui asked in surprise.
"I don't know, but Aqua is a goddess, so this should be easy for her, right?" Yuu replied.

I still can't believe Aqua is a goddess.
"Me too.....
"Oh—I saw it!" Aqua suddenly shouted.
"According to my spiritual vision, this mansion was previously used to imprison a nobleman's illegitimate child!"
"Really?"
"It's true! That nobleman assaulted the maid on a whim, and the illegitimate child is hers!"
"Is it that amazing?"
Aqua spoke with such conviction that everyone couldn't help but believe her.
"Oh—!" Aqua exclaimed in surprise, "That nobleman was very weak and died not long after. The maid who gave birth to his illegitimate child also disappeared. The girl left alone in this mansion eventually died young because she had the same illness as her father. She died alone without ever seeing her parents! Her name was Anna Ferranti Estro, and she loved dolls and plush toys."
And there are also adventure stories from the adventurers!
"Is this the true face of evil spirits?"
"Should we get rid of her?"
"Don't worry, this spirit isn't bad. She shouldn't harm us... Wait, although she's still a child, she likes to act like an adult and enjoys drinking sweet wine. Let's prepare some wine to offer to her!"
"Was the last one something you made up?" Shi Chen stared at her suspiciously.
"How could that be!" Aqua denied it decisively.
"Really? Then I'll reluctantly believe you."
"Toki, you don't believe me anymore? I'm so sad." Aqua pouted unhappily.
"How about I buy you two bottles of sparkling wine later?"
"Hehe~ That's more like it."
"Then it's decided. I'll go find the person in charge to pay. You guys go back to the hotel and pack your things."
"Let's go together, since you have the space teleportation ability at any time," Huihui said.
"I...I think so too." Youyou nodded in agreement.
"Alright, let's do it together."
Shi Chen led Hui Hui and the others to the person in charge to buy the luxury house. Although 100 million was a lot of money, it was small change for them. Moreover, when they got the property certificate in this world, it was all worth it.
At this moment, they finally had their own home.
After returning to the hotel and packing their luggage, Shichen and his family checked directly into the mansion.
The mansion hadn't been cleaned in a long time due to harassment from evil spirits, but Shichen learned cleaning magic from Frilian, and a few spells were enough to clean the entire mansion spotless.
It was purely conceptual magic; he didn't even need to determine what was trash or what was still useful. The cleaning was done exactly to his liking.
The person who created this magic probably had a very clear idea of what constitutes trash in the room; they were likely someone who disliked cleaning.
With the mansion cleaned, the next step was choosing a room. Needless to say, the largest room was selected.
That is, the master bedroom.
Perfectly, the master bedroom is located in the middle of the second floor, with two rooms on one side, the staircase on the other side, and more rooms beyond that.
Kazuma Sato slept in one of the two rooms, while Aqua and the others slept in the room on the other side of the stairs, which naturally became the girls' area.
After everyone had tidied up their rooms, it soon became evening, and Shichen took Huihui and the others out for a celebratory feast.
By the time I returned, it was completely dark.
They didn't know when the evil spirits would come to bother them that night, but they left it to Aqua and didn't care anymore, so they went straight back to their rooms to sleep.
The big bed with its soft blankets—it had been so long since I'd slept like this. Shichen lay on the soft bed and fell asleep in no time.
However, he did not sleep through the night; he was woken up in the middle of the night by someone pressing on him.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Huihui's delicate little face, looking like she was about to cry.
