Me, a priest? How could that be!

Chapter 61 You may make a lot of money, but I will never lose.

I ran quickly to the toilet at the corner on the second floor.

He shoved Huihui inside.

Then close the door and wait at the doorway.

Perhaps afraid that Charlotte would run off somewhere else, Huihui started talking to him non-stop after entering the restroom.

"Charlotte, Charlotte?"

"I am here."

He was like an AI installed in an app, responding accurately every time, but gradually he became a little impatient.

"Charlotte..."

"What's wrong now? Are you too nervous to take your pants off? Do you want me to come in and help you?... Huihui, why aren't you saying anything?"

"A blacker than black, a darkness deeper than darkness itself, where I entrust my crimson golden light!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Don't unleash explosive magic so easily!"

She has a really bad temper.

Charlotte knew that Huihui was scared, and that she might be trying to cover up her shyness by making conversation. But rather than sitting there in the bathroom, he thought it would be better to make peace with himself and resolve the issue decisively so that he could relax a bit.

Snap... Snap... Snap...

Just then, a crisp, rhythmic sound came to my ears, like the footsteps of someone wearing high heels on a wooden floor. It grew more rapid and complex as it approached, almost becoming a cacophony of noise.

In the toilet.

Huihui was still a little scared and called out to the outside, "Charlotte, could you please sing a song?...Charlotte, are you still there?!"

The lack of response made her tremble with fear.

The sound of dripping water came from beneath me.

However, soon a knocking sound came from outside the door. Although I didn't know what tune it was, it was surprisingly rhythmic, which soothed my nerves and made me feel inexplicably relaxed.

Huihui was also completely released under this rhythm.

A few minutes later.

The toilet door was pushed open.

"Thank you, Charlotte. I've already... um?"

Just as Huihui was about to express her gratitude, she saw that Charlotte was surrounded by broken dolls in the corridor. They were scattered all over the floor, and their empty, lifeless eyes looked particularly eerie. She felt the urge to go to the toilet again.

"Huihui, you're out?"

Seeing that Charlotte was unharmed and even greeted her with a smile, her tense nerves gradually relaxed. She took small steps through the dolls scattered on the ground, ran over, grabbed Charlotte's clothes tightly, and pressed herself against him, trembling.

"Don't be afraid, evil spirits of this level can't harm us."

"……Um."

Charlotte stroked her head.

He originally intended to take her back to her room, but Huihui, who was frightened, clung tightly to his clothes and refused to let go, so he had no choice but to take her with him on the patrol.

Darkness on the first floor was still waving the white banner in her hand. She was trying so hard, but no evil spirits were targeting her. I guess even the evil spirits couldn't stand the female knight's perversion.

Through the first-floor window, I saw Aqua chasing a faint white shadow outside the courtyard, looking fierce and menacing. I wondered who the evil spirit really was.

By the way.

After dispelling a large number of evil spirits, Charlotte leveled up and could now see them... although only vague shadows.

After that, he and Aqua worked together to purify the evil spirits from the inside out, and finally, as dawn broke, they drove away all the evil spirits in the mansion.

"Phew, is that alright?"

Aqua wiped the sweat from her forehead.

All of this was the result of her chasing after evil spirits; even Charlotte was ashamed of her level of exercise that night.

Meanwhile, Darkness, who was also drenched in sweat, had been summoning spirits all night, but unfortunately, she hadn't encountered a single one, which she deeply regretted.

When it comes to being a pervert, she's the one.

Huihui, who was always by Charlotte's side, also didn't sleep all night until all the evil spirits were eliminated, and only then did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Only Kazuma Sato.

This guy appeared before everyone full of energy, stretched and yawned, truly oblivious to everything else, only wanting to sleep soundly.

Why wasn't he attacked?

...No, thinking about it carefully, it seems that only Charlotte and Aqua were harassed by the evil spirit that night, and even Megumin, who was with him, did not encounter any danger.

So what do these two people have in common?

Are they Axis believers?

Charlotte knew that Aqua had a passive ability to attract evil spirits and corpses, but she had never heard of anyone who became her follower having the same trait.

not good.

I suddenly want to leave the church.

After completing the mission, Kazuma Sato and the others went to the guild to deliver the reward and collect some money. Charlotte went with them.

On the way, Aqua begins to tell the backstory of the mansion: a tragic life of an unloved little girl who ultimately died alone in the mansion.

Although Charlotte felt that since the dungeon had already been cleared, searching for the background story at this point was a waste of time, Aqua didn't think so, because she believed that the expensive bottle of sparkling wine was drunk by the little girl.

Kazuma Sato scoffed.

He believed that Aqua had drunk it without realizing it and was just trying to frame someone else. He knew this from the moment Aqua started insisting on claiming the bubble wine as a necessary expense.

Arrived at the union.

Charlotte and Aqua handed in their adventurer cards, and the saleswoman at the counter nodded after confirming them, giving them a generous reward.

The reason for the sudden surge in evil spirits was that someone had set up a huge, sacred barrier in the town's cemetery as a prank or by someone with ulterior motives. As a result, the evil spirits in the cemetery had nowhere to go but to sneak into empty, uninhabited houses...

"Wait a mininute."

"We have something we want to confirm."

Charlotte and Kazuma Sato each grabbed Aqua's shoulders, one on each side, as she tried to sneak away, and dragged her to a corner of the guild.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Hey, you've done this before, haven't you? Didn't I tell you to wipe away the barrier that time? Don't you ever learn your lesson!"

Charlotte thought it was caused by some other reason, but she didn't expect it was Aqua who did it.

Aqua said, sounding aggrieved, "W-because going to the cemetery all the time is such a hassle, I thought I'd weaken the original barrier, but I didn't expect they couldn't even get through this... I'm really amazing!"

"What are you so proud of?!"

"It hurts!"

Charlotte couldn't resist pinching her.

Kazuma Sato decided to forgo the union's compensation and told the mansion owner everything. The owner was surprisingly principled in this regard, which made the man think more highly of him.

The owner of the mansion said it didn't matter, since he had already decided to settle in the capital, and would stay there until all the negative effects disappeared, as previously agreed.

I must say, he was incredibly generous.

However, when the owner of the mansion said that the mansion, which had once housed Charlotte, who had fought against the Demon King's army, might increase in value in the future, people immediately admired how shrewd the owner was.

Charlotte didn't care.

He also needs a place to live.

You may make a lot of money, but I will never lose money.

A few days later, Axel was hit by heavy snow, which made him realize just how wise his decision had been.
