The group took out their smartphones, turning on their flash torches before making their way into the manor.
With each step they took the manors floors would creek eerily, there sounds where a clear indication of the passage of time these old wooden boards had been through.
" What a dump, it looks like the whole place has been left for so long" Hayami flashed her phones torch around, the once magnificent furniture and decor within there sights were now littered with cobwebs and thick layers of dust.
" Well it is to be expected, the rumors did say it was a century old manor at least" Micheal chimed in.
" Yeah I know but has anyone ever wondered why there isn't anyone turning up to lay claim to it?, I mean this whole estate has still got to cost a few million credits at least right?" Hayami was referring to the world's current form of money, after several years humanity had moved on to using digital credits instead of paper money.
" Who knows, maybe it's because it's located on the outskirts of the city that people are unwilling to come here much less sell it" said Su Jiang.
" Am with Su Jiang on this one, even if I had the credits, there's no way I'd buy a mansion so far out, I mean wouldn't rich people be planning on living in a safer environment, who'd wanna live so close to the wilderness?" Jessie passed behind Su Jiang, even she herself was skeptical towards the manor.
After a short while there curiosity soon got the better of them, everyone started checking around the spacious hall.
Yūrei crouched down before the stair case leading upwards to the next floor, his eyes squinted slightly, flashing his torch Infront of him.
" What's this?" He mumbled to himself, his hand reached outwards towards the stair board, rubbing against a dark spot on the wooden stair.
" Why are you crouching all of a sudden?, did you happen to find something?" Megami who was naturally by his side raised a brow wondering just what he was doing.
Yūrei scraped against the stair before smuging his fingers together. " I don't know, it feels weird, though covered in dust and dirt it kinda has a sticky sensation to it"
" Sticky sensation?, how's that even possible, this Manor's been abandoned for who knows how long, any fluids here would've long since dried up, are you sure it's sticky?" Megami leaned in closer to get a closer look at what he'd chanced upon, her body squatting right next to his as he held her hand.
her alluring scent easily noticable from such a close distance yet Yūrei didn't seem to mind, instead both of them stared closely towards the unknown find.
She leaned closer towards the substance on his hand, her head now only centimeters away from Yūrei's, from an outsiders point of view the both of them looked no different than as if they were touching.
" it kinda looks a little like-" A hand hooked around Yūrei's neck pulling Yūrei to the side and his hand out of her view before she could say what she wanted to say.
" Hey what are you guys up to?" Hayami smiled lightly towards the duo, Megami was obviously annoyed, her frown was proof enough already.
" Geeze Hayami, you almost gave me a heart attack^^, I was wondering just what suddenly grabbed me all of a sudden" Yūrei chuckled helplessly.
" Come on it's not my fault, I was just curious as to what you two found, you seemed awfully close so I got even more curious" Hayami pouted towards him.
" Is that so?, then I guess I'll have to be far more careful Incase I make my little Hayami upset now won't i"Yūrei patted her head cheerfully her puffed up cheeks looked absolutely adorable in his eyes.
Hayami smiled happily, seeing his affectionate side made her feel better, Megami on the other hand just stood their silently looking at the two of them interacting so closely, no one knew what was currently going through her mind at the moment.
" Ahem..., if you two are done now, can I finally get a closer look at it" Megami suddenly intruded.
" Oh my bad, I actually forgot"
" Here have a closer look, I have a reckon of what it might be but am not to sure" Yūrei showed her the unknown find so as to get a closer look.
" And what is that if I may ask?"
" Yeah what is it exactly Yūrei-San" The two girls asked feeling puzzled.
" Blood...." that single word he said caused the two girls to stiffen abruptly, their eyes slowly enlarging as they stared at him with stunned gazes.
