(EP-61.1) Mansion #1
061 – Haunted Mansion #1
According to the rules, Ark cadets were not allowed to wilfully leave the campus.
However, if there was a time when access to the outside city of Gracia was free, it would be the weekend.
On days such as Saturdays and Sundays, students could go out to the city and buy necessary items, take a break or work short-term part-time jobs.
At times, some might even take up a quest or two.
Because of this, the church’s city of Gracia would be bustling with Ark cadets every weekend.
I was also thinking of leaving school grounds for the first time today.
Not to mention, I also had an appointment with the older sister of the Draco Family Twins, Mirna Draco.
As I was preparing to go out, someone knocked on the door.
Knock, knock.
Without waiting for a reply, the dormitory door had already been opened. A woman with blue eyes, whose look resembled that of a superstar with voluminous blonde ponytail, soon appeared.
“Hey, I was bored, so I came to play.”
Elga Von Lioness, who was wearing sweatpants, entered the dormitory. Upon seeing the bandages and cast wrapped around my arm, she frowned.
“What did you do to get this hurt?”
“Ah, this is….”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen I tried to explain, Elga clicked her tongue.
“Is your opponent’s injuries more serious?”
“I think so…”
Condes’ ribs were probably fractured.
He vomited a lot of blood so his internal organs must have been grievously wounded. It didn’t look like that punk was dead, but he should suffer for a few days up to a month.
Elga said as she sat down on my bed.
“I’ve heard about it. You were up against the SILVERS or something? I thought you’d lose badly, but you seem to be faring better than expected.”
“… Right. So, what brings you to my humble abode?”
“… Oh, it’s nothing. It’s the weekend, so I wanted us to visit the town together. I have to buy some things I need.”
‘I see.’
It looked like Elga wanted to spend the weekend with me.
Well, I hadn’t paid much attention to how Elga was doing lately… And unfortunately, I also had a meeting with Mirna Draco today.
“I’m sorry, but I’m busy today.”
“… What? Are you rejecting my offer now!?”
Elga roared like an angry lioness. My roommates, who were sitting quietly in the dormitory, trembled at the sight.
“Fine, I don’t need you anyways!”
Whack.
With that said, Elga turned her head and walked out of the room.
That girl was clearly sulking. This made me quite nervous, since the possibility of an impending accident committed by Elga worried me.
Benjamin, who was holding his breath, finally said.
“Was that Lady Lioness? Oh my gosh, I’ve only heard of her, but I’ve never actually seen her in the flesh! She’s truly ‘amazing’ in many ways!”
*Translation: her chest was huge.
Then Hans spoke to me with a serious face.
“My friend, how can you refuse to escort such a noble lady? I can’t quite understand it.”
They seemed regretful that I turned down Elga’s offer. But then again, Elga was a figure admired by many so it was understandable.
Alas, it couldn’t be helped.
Suddenly…
The door opened, revealing Elga’s face. She then stretched her hand into the room and pointed.
“Hey, you two, follow me. Fatty and stick, I have something for you to do.”
Benjamin’s face brightened at her call.
“Lady Lioness, it is an honor to meet you-.”
“Right, you have to carry my luggage today, so be prepared.”
“Luggage…?”
Today, instead of me, these guys would bear Elga’s torment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI secretly paid them my condolences in my heart.

“There has been a large number of undead on the outskirts of the city recently. You have to be careful.”
I listened to the warnings of the Ark staff, got a travel pass, and went out into the city.
I didn’t know how long it’d been since I got to travel alone like this. It felt a little liberating…
The time was currently around 10 o’clock in the morning.
First of all, I walked along the road leading to the jewelry store.
“A Blue Eagle feather? Where did you get such quality material? Blue Eagles are rare to see.”
When I got asked by the young hostess at the store, my answer was simply, “I picked it up by accident.”
Not asking any further, she proceeded with the requested order.
After taking care of that, I headed to the address that Mirna gave. It was said that the Draco Family’s villa was located somewhere in Gracia.
“Is it here?”
On the outskirts of the city, I found a cemetery full of old tombstones and gloomy dried up trees. In the middle of it, there was a mansion full of crows.
It was still early in the morning, when lunchtime would be faraway, yet the area I saw was covered in darkness. That place looked like a haunted house on a midwinter night, giving off an eerie feeling.
It seemed like a ghost infested abandoned building…
… Was this really the right place?
I felt a little terrified of entering the Draco Family villa. After all, they were the main culprit behind the Angmar Family’s downfall.
Wouldn’t entering the mansion be similar to walking into the lion’s den?
… But, I mustn’t be scared away.
Steeling my resolve, I stood in front of the huge iron gate leading to the garden and knocked.
“…….”
