120,
Although it has always been relaxing, work still needs to be done.
If I finish early, I can give myself a more powerful reason to continue relaxing.
The sun is just one line away from disappearing on the horizon.
Eileen, who didn't dare to get close to Little Dragon, and Little Dragon holding the Grecius lamp, along with Mr. Summer Miss Autumn, who was brought along.
Mr. Cyclone stood in front of the main door of the mansion, crossing his hands, and smiled lightly.
"Alright, this operation is very simple."
He pointed with his right hand and two of the youngest children were singled out.
"Both of you, go and lure the ghosts for me."
"......"
Perhaps it was too sudden, Mr. Summer Miss Autumn couldn't react for a while.
"Don't worry, don't worry, Little Dragon will follow behind you. If there's any danger, even if it means tearing down the entire mansion, Little Dragon will save you."
"Lure...lure the ghosts?"
Shia thought she misheard and repeated the words.
"Oh~ it means help me check if there are ghosts there, and also practice your courage."
"Hus...husband, this..."
"Eileen, I've thought about it. Since ghosts refer to the magical sources that still exist in this world, even if we don't have this lamp, as long as we can sense the magical sources, it should be enough, right?"
Because Little Dragon was holding the lamp, Eileen, who was afraid of ghosts, hid behind Mr. Cyclone.
"Well...even though you say so...it's better if we don't separate..."
"Do you want to waste our precious time?"
Eileen poked her head out from beside Mr. Cyclone's waist, and he patted her head to comfort her.
"I don't want to waste time. I want them to explore the paths, not go see ghosts, but walk through every place to find out where the magic sources are."
He turned on the lamp, and while the green light emitted, Mr. Cyclone continued to explain.
"When you find those magic sources, I will go and check those ghost shadows illuminated by the green light. Meanwhile, you continue to search for other magic sources. While I stop to analyze the fragments left by the deceased, you keep searching."
"Although it sounds very efficient...but, husband?! Wait, wait!!"
As Eileen bent down and hid next to Mr. Cyclone's waist, he lifted her small waist with one hand.
"You're coming with me."
"What!?"
"Little Dragon, accompany them."
"Yes."
Usually, Eileen would also agree directly like Little Dragon when given orders, but now it seemed that she was at a loss for what to do out of fear.
"W-what, Eileen is going too?"
"Do I have a choice? Little Dragon will watch over them."
"Mingming...husband is bullying Eileen..."
Mr. Cyclone waved his hand, motioning for Mr. Summer Miss Autumn to leave first, and Little Dragon followed.
"Are you really going? Eileen will try her best in the evening! Husband, Eileen really doesn't want to go in..."
"Then do you want your husband to go alone?"
"N-no..."
"It's alright~ with your husband here, just obediently hold onto my hand."
Mr. Cyclone smiled gently, calming Eileen's nervousness a bit.
When Shia's shout came from the dilapidated mansion, they had found the first location with a magical source.
Eileen tightly held Mr. Cyclone's hand and entered the mansion together.
After arriving at Shia's location, they set off to find the next one because they were just searching, and there was no need to stop.
By the time Mr. Cyclone finished watching the first ghost film, they had already searched all the locations on the ground floor.
Eileen gave them some Magicite Crystals that emitted light to mark the positions."Oh!"
On the first level, the second level, and the third level, while Mr. Cyclone was still watching horror movies on the second level, the magical source on all the floors of the large house had already been found.
"Oh!!"
Finally, there was also a basement. With Little Dragon's violent method of clearing the way, the basement was also explored.
"Oh!!!"
A loud shout came from the distant basement, indicating that there was no magical source in the basement.
"I can't believe there's sound coming from the hole..."
"Of course, Shia has to shout loud enough."
Watching the last segment of the horror movie on the third level, Mr. Cyclone laughed.
"Great! I already know the truth, mission accomplished~"
"So fast!!"
Under Mr. Cyclone's efficient work, the exploration was completed in less than an hour.
"Phew~ I can go home now~"
After relaxing, Eileen took a step back.
"Be careful!!"
In an instant, something happened and Eileen accidentally stepped on the broken floor.
Fortunately, Mr. Cyclone quickly supported Eileen's waist, otherwise she would have fallen from the third floor to the ground.
The mission was already completed, but they still had to be careful.
However, while supporting Eileen, Mr. Cyclone suddenly thought of something fun.
"Wife, the mission is all done~ How about a little fight now?"
"What? What?"
While supporting Eileen, Mr. Cyclone also used a hugging motion to bring Eileen closer.
Facing each other at close proximity, they looked into each other's eyes, seeing the slight hint of tears in Eileen's eyes from fear.
"You've been resisting since earlier~ are you still going to resist your husband now?"
"..."
With a flushed face, Eileen raised a finger and placed it on her lips.
"Really... once is enough. It's been too long, Eileen is really scared..."
