"So this is the mansion."
It was a mansion in the suburbs. According to that man, the number of rooms were few for a mansion, the fact was contrary to this. It was several times the size of a single mansion in Japan, and used to be the villa of a noble clan.
And we got all this for the low, low price of one hundred and fifty million Eris.
I turned towards my party members. They all looked at the mansion with stars in their eyes. For the first time in a very long time, I finally get myself a proper housing. The Fantastic Dreamers now have an official headquarters instead of a table in the corner of the guild.
"It's big, so big!" Megumin exclaimed in childlike enthusiasm. "Kazuma, are you sure? We can live here with you?"
"Sure, sure,"
I turned to Aqua and saw her making weird gestures with her hands.
"Leave it to me! … Fufu, I can see it, I can see it! With my spiritual eyes, I see the noble, who was fooling around with a maid, and the child that the maid bore, who was kept here as the illegitimate child of the noble clan! The noble died from illness, and the maid went missing. The young girl left here contracted the same disease as her father, and died without ever seeing the faces of her parents! Her name was Anna Filante Asteroid. The things she liked were her dolls and the stories of adventurers! But please don't worry, this spirit won't pull pranks on us. She will not harm us! Ara, she might be a child, but she liked mature things like drinking fine wine. So, prepare some wine as an offering!"
The problem with having high intelligent is that you just physically cannot tune out any information, no matter how stupid it may be. "So uhh, does Anna mind if we stay in this mansion?" I asked her.
"Fufufu… The child bore no ill will to the resident of this mansion, in fact, she was quite content with living alone inside a room in the top most floor at the end of the second hallway just before the room before the bathroom."
"How does she look like?"
"Her illness struck her at a very young age… Though she has lived here for hundreds of years, she hasn't aged one bit since that day…"
"Oh, you mean like Megum-Oof!" the said girl elbowed me hard right in solar plexus. Usually a punch or a kick from her wouldn't bother me, but that was weeks ago, before I trained her in melee combat. Now, a playful smack with her staff can kill a grown man.
"Let's go, Darkness, Kazuma," Megumin said while forcing me on to my feet and dragging me into the mansion.
After casting heal to myself, I could finally keep up with Megumin and entered the mansion. The first thing we see once we opened the door is a large room with a sofa facing a large fire place, a dining table, and some other miscellaneous furniture such as a grandfather clock.
"Whoa… How much did you pay for this mansion Kazuma?" Megumin asked while looking around the large living room.
"One hundred and fifty million," I told her. "To be fair, I didn't try to negotiate since I just have too much money to spare and the owner oji san looked so miserable trying to sell this place," I sat down on the sofa facing a fireplace.
Megumin sat next to me and leaned her head on to my shoulder. "Hee, is it really that hard to sell this property?"
"Well, probably because it's haunted?"
Megumin's nice and steady breathing stopped. She slowly turned towards me, her face slightly pale. "Wh-what do you mean it's haunted?"
"Well, you heard Aqua, she wasn't joking around, this place is haunted," I told her.
The girl hugged my arm. "Your girlfriend demands that you accompany her to sleep tonight," she muttered.
"So we're sharing a room then?"
"Well… We're already used to sleeping together and…" she bit her lip and looked at me in slight annoyance. "Can you stop treating me like a kid? Crimson Demons age differently than other humans you know?"
"Really?"
"No, but I'd appreciate it if, hya!" I grabbed her by the waist and forced her to sit on my lap. "Kazuma, wh-what are you doing?" my hands snaked around her body and I slowly pulled her close to my chest. "Ka-Kazuma?"
I just smirked a little. "If this is enough to get you flustered, then you can't really blame me for treating you like a kid,"
Megumin stopped struggling and let herself fall into my embrace. "You're cheating Kazuma…" she muttered in defeat. "But if you're going to keep treating me like a kid, that makes you a lolicon pervert instead of a regular pervert."
Wait… Hold on, that actually makes sense. Oh no, that actually makes sense! Wait, wait, sixteen divided by two plus seven makes fifteen. DAMMIT! Okay, calm down, you're not a lolicon Kazuma, Megumin's not… Megumin's not a kid.
Goddammit she outsmarted me.
"Fine, fine, I'll treat you like an adult from now on. Heck, I'll teach you how to be an adult," I honestly have no idea how to be an adult, in this world, there is no such feeble thing as age limit. I dare say Megumin's been an adult far longer than I am.
"Teach me how to be an adult? Wh-what are talking about… pervert…" Megumin muttered.
"Do you know how sex works or do you just have the basic idea?"
"Of course I know, it's…" she shook her head furiously and although she's facing away from me, I can tell she's extremely flustered right now. "I-I can't just explain it! It's not that something you can just explain."
"So you'll just show it then?" I joked.
There was a moment of silence before I suddenly hear her speak. "There's no helping it I guess… I just have to show you, right? Sex… So you'll treat me like an adult?"
…
Yeah, it's time for tactical retreat…
"Let's not be hasty now shall… we!?"
Megumin suddenly turned around and faced towards me, her crotch now straddling on my lap. "What? You asked me to show it to you right?" she gave me a sultry smile and literally start grinding on me. "Here, this is called a foreplay…"
"Wait, hold on!"
"What? I thought you're here to teach me how to be an adult, ne, Kazuma?"
Ah, fuck it, she asked for it.
I straightened my posture and grabbed one of her hand. Then I used another hand to pull her face to mine. Our lips met and we sunk deeper into a deep kiss. A sweet moan came from her mouth and she moved her waist faster.
"Ahem, excuse me…"
We looked to the left. Darkness stood a distance away from us, her expression flat but slightly embarrassed.
"I just wanted to remind you that this is the living room. Of course, I do not mind if you were to continue this in any other room of your choosing in this mansion. You both are in a relationship after all, however, do use contraceptive as having a child before the Demon King is killed is less than ideal for our purpose."
I looked at Megumin whose face is as red as her eyes.
"How about we take it slower?" I suggested.
"Y-yeah… Let's do that… Let's take it slower…"
And start slower we did. Because starting tonight, there will be a no teasing pact, in which Megumin and I will not tease each other in a sexual fashion. This pact last until we've subjugated the demon king or until five years into the future.
