The Villainess is my Boss

Chapter 81: Haunted House 2

„Why do you ask that?"

„To be honest, everyone, who stayed here overnight, ran away the next morning and they never returned back.", replied the woman slowly.

(When I see that Karex again...)

„Ehehe."

Arisa gave them a smile and looked at me.

„I am not afraid of any undead beings. So if they come, I will protect us both."

„We will see. Come, Ara-chan.", said the woman and they were about to leave.

„Or we can still return to our old house for this night."

„And where is that house of yours?"

„In Tokyo."

„I never heard of such a place."

(Why? It is not more than 1 hour away from here.)

(And the capital city of Japan!)

The woman and the little boy slowly walked away.

„Arisa, let's look around."

„Mmm."

We checked the surroundings and found one small lake on the other side.

„Now this place doesn't look that bad."

„If there aren't any dangerous creatures."

„True."

I said that to comfort her, but that place looked terrible... in comparison with our now old home.

(At least it is ours.)

(Our own haunted house.)

„Let's unpack first and check whatever we miss. Then we can return to our old house or buy something in any nearby city."

Arisa agreed and we returned to the house.

„Arisa, go ahead. I need to make a phone call."

„Sure."

Arisa left and I called Karex, but his number was unavailable.

(Great!)

(Is this place even connected to electricity?)

I tried to switch lights on, but nothing happened.

(Maybe circuit breakers are just tripped.)

After a while I found the box and my assumption was correct. I set everything on and tried it again.

(One problem solved.)

Then I returned to Arisa and helped her unpack everything. We found the main problem really fast... a lack of usable furniture. Everything in the house was too old. All we had were our personal items, blankets and pillows.

„Let's return to the old house and then we could also buy something."

Arisa looked dejected.

„Arisa, it will be all right. We will cope with it somehow.", I said that and hugged her.

„Mmm. At least it is our house."

„Yeah. It is our place and no one can kick us out from it. Not even ghosts."

Arisa suddenly kissed me.

„Even if ghosts live here, I am sure you will protect me, right?"
