Right now, we were waiting for Lina to complete the transaction to purchase this building. Since we now have managed to… subdue Sonia, we won't get attacked by the ghosts anymore. The other four ghosts are all disappear with my Godly Ghost Killing Skills.

Sonia right now is trying to undo the magic she casted on this land back when she was on her deathbed. It was really strong since the magic hasn't been weakened even after thousands of years.

Victoria is telling Sonia while she's working that she came from another world, and the words that she taught Sonia like riaju are coming from that world. Let's ignore the fact that Victoria is trying to bring Sonia to becoming fujoshi like her.

Sonia also seem to have a lot to tell about the last thousands of years she stuck in this place. Although she said they were rivals, they seen to be getting along just like sisters. A

"By the way, why was I not affected by your charm magic like the others in the past? I know I ended up getting obsessed by this place, but when it happened to other people, they got it worse, right? And I somehow realized I was charmed and try to fight it."

I asked Sonia why I'm not affected as much as other people when I heard that many people has bought this building because of her charm.

"Yeah. Usually those who are affected won't throw a punch at me right away. They ended up getting scared and try to negotiate with me. Then as I absorbed their life force little by little, when their condition got worse, they will sold this place again."

"Wait! Why are you absorbing life force when you're already dead?"

"It helped me maintain the ghosts of my four lovers. Actually I had more before, but since they needed life force to stay in this world, one by one they disappear until there are only four left. Those four are the ones who got seduced by me the most."

"And now they have gone you don't think much about them anymore. And won't it be terrible if you stay and suck my life force? I think it's better if you just disappear."

"No! Please, no! I don't need to suck life force anymore since I don't have anyone left! All the ghosts with me are already dead. I'm here because of the magic I casted in this land! Please don't exorcise me!"

Sonia's begging me to not exorcise her. But I can't trust her yet.

"Victoria. Can I trust her words?"

"I think you can. Although she's annoying, she's actually pretty reliable. If she says she won't do it, then she won't."

"I don't know. I mean you only know her from back when she was still alive thousands years ago. Who knows how she is right now after a long time?"

"Then believe in me who believes in her!"

What the heck is this slime saying?

"You lied to me about the meaning of riaju and fujoshi."

"Ugh! Just let her stay for her usefulness, please! Then I will add more time in hunting more monsters!"

Victoria begged me to let Sonia stays.

"Why are you like this?"

"Why won't I be like this? She's the only one left who know about me when I was still alive! Don't you have anyone like that? You were time traveled to the past so you should at least have someone that you can depend on, right?"

"I had one. But at the moment she hasn't been born yet. And who knows if she can still be born again after I changed the future?"

"…LOLICON! This guy is a lolicon!"

"Again… another word I don't know appear from her mouth."

"It means someone who loves minor!"

"No! I'm not a pedophile! She was twenty when I met her when I was forty! Which means she will be born in five years unless I changed the future too much that she won't be born in the future. And I know her through her husband who was my patient. They built an orphanage together and I often go there for checkup on the kids."

"I see. But you're still an adult from the future who makes someone in her fifteen as his lover!"

"And you're a thousand years old granny who just confessed to that guy who is not even a tenth of your age!"

"… let's stop this conversation before it gets any worse."

"You started it! Anyway, fifteen years old are already considered as adult so it's fine."

I just asked why I'm not affected too much by charm magic, then it turned into exorcising Sonia again, then it got into this?! We have strayed too much from the topic.

"I'll ask again. Why am I not affected too much by the charm magic?"

"Maybe because you were travelled back to the past? Mean your mentality is too strong. My charm magic doesn't work well on those with strong mental defense. Most aura user have strong mental defense, but you're stronger than that. I can still charmed those aura user in the past, but it doesn't affect you that much."

"I understand. I mean he even has Shameless Survival Arts. Those who proudly say he's shameless have strong mental defense."

Hearing Victoria's explanation about my shamelessness, I also agree with her.

"It's good that I'm shameless then."

"Why are you so happy about it?"

Before I answer Sonia, the door to the building is opened. I saw Lina looks like she has already finished the transaction and she also bring the others.

I told them about the fact that Sonia was a fellow disciple of Victoria. Then Victoria introduce her to everyone.

"Since we have bought this building, you can choose which room you want. By the way mine is the biggest room in the third floor."

"You already picked yours?"

"Since I'm the leader, of course I picked the biggest room. My harem might increase as well. I mean Victoria just confessed today."

"Really?! I knew you will join soon!"

"Let's get along, Victoria."

Said Sophie and Kayla respectively.

"Yeah. Thanks you two. But I refuse to hear his answer yet until I can fully take control of this slime. Although the answer is obvious, I won't do anything a lover do yet. I might regret it a lot during the time I'm not in control if we do things like lovers. Although I'm not in control, my mind still works."

"Then it just need time, right? I'll be going to the capital tomorrow. You can stay here, catching up with your old friend, and hunt some monster if you have the time. I'll just summon you once I get there."

"Okay!"

Victoria now used her humanoid form that she usually takes instead of taking her real form back when she was still alive. It makes Sonia mad knowing the one she called as her rival can change her shape however she wanted.

The others, although they haven't gotten used to talking to a ghost, knowing that the ghost is an old friend of Victoria, they slowly accepted her.

Well, Kayla and Sophie are both doing fine talking to her normally. Sam pretend to not see Sonia. Lina is holding my arm as she sits next to me, while Angela… she's talking from the kitchen while we were talking in the living room.

"Angela! Sonia doesn't bite!"

"She might not bite! But she can curse! She just casted a curse on your beloved before, Kayla!"

"Angela, we talked to a slime on daily basis. So why can't you talk to a ghost?"

"A ghost and a slime are different!"

Kayla failed to persuade Angela out of the kitchen.

"It will take time until she can get used to Sonia. More importantly, I thought you girls are trying to teach Ellen's party how to improve their magic control?"

"They refused. Even with Ellen's approval, they think it's embarrassing to be taught by a beginner level mage and a C-rank hunters. They choose to enter the dungeon right away this morning. I think I'll just stay here and cultivate my magic. We got a lot of high quality magic stones after all."

"Can they climb the slippery holes?"

"Someone among them can fly. And she's quite slim so it won't be too hard for them. She will bring a rope with her. That's what Ellen told me. I just let Angela taught Ellen the basic of magic control in case something unexpected happened."

"Okay. They are really narrow-minded despite having an S-ranker with them. Or maybe because they have one, they don't want to listen to anyone else?"

But this way, I can hope for their growth after I got back from the capital. I'll go alone by foot since it will be faster. But it might still take three days at most to get there.

"Oh, Sam! What about the unknown magic stones? Have you find an appraiser?" I asked Sam.

"Not yet. And even if I found one, they need to be someone we can trust."

"Sigh… I wish these eyes can appraise things."

"You might be able to."

"What?!"

I was surprised to hear a response from Sonia. I forgot that she's also an aura user just like Victoria in the past.

"If you defeat more monsters that have special ability in their visions, you might be able to evolve your own special ability."

"Really! I never know that! Our master never told us that part. Have you experienced it yourself?"

"Not me, idiot. You. Back when your special ability manifested, your wings is really small. Barely enough to lift your own weight. Then after you defeat more flying monsters, your wings grow bigger and last time I seen it, there were 3 pairs of wings behind your back."

"Really?! I thought that was because I'm getting better in using aura!

Victoria surprised to hear how her wings grows in the past

"That might helped, but I've seen it firsthand that it grows the more flying monsters you defeat. If you never know about it, there's a chance that your desire to get that special ability is not shown anymore, so you won't feel anything if you find the right monsters."

"Does that mean I have to defeat it without anyone's help and only through my own strength like before? That's hard…"

Just defeating an All-seeing Eye took me a lot of preparation. Who knows what kind of enemy will have a vision special ability?

"Master. I'll help you looking for monsters with special ability related to vision in the library. Maybe I'll find one in some old monster encyclopedia."

"Thanks, Lina! I know I can count on you!"

"If you want better eyesight, then eat carrots!"

I heard a voice coming from the kitchen. It was Angela who advised me to eat carrots to help my eyesight.

I don't know if it will work or not, but it's worth a try.
