DIAW: The Girlfriend System in the World
Chapter 28 - Silver Adventurer

So, that's how it all started. Elina said my first task was to exterminate monsters inside a building.

I don't know why the moment she explained the details of Elina's mission suddenly whispered something like, "There might be a bit creepy." And, this was where the conversation started to sound a bit tense as he added another sentence, "Be careful, there's a ghost!"

"Master?" Whoaah? Just startling, I turned around and found Liya beside me while pointing in one direction, "It looks like this is the location in question ..."

"Yes ... You're right ..." We finally got to a building, but I didn't think so, "Isn't this an old castle or an ..."

"No, it's just an abandoned castle ..." Oh, so you know that? Liya shook her head when I asked that, then, out of curiosity I was a little curious about, "Miss Elina told me. He said the castle is inhabited by some monsters ..."

"Some monsters?" It's becoming more and more interesting, "Then ... Next up?"

Liya explained in more detail, and it was at that moment that I was absolutely certain this old building was some sort of unfinished castle.

Well, that's how it is. They failed to stand up because of the few workers. I mean, or rather call them disappearing one by one.

"Somebody said the builder was eaten by wolves and had an accident at work." And, by the time the work reaches nearly 80 percent complete, it's already completely shut down for the reason, "Lack of people."

Yes, like that ... You know, the kingdom here isn't just building one castle. In the capital they were busy building houses, then on the border about repairing the fortifications and ... Ah, there's more.

"By the way Liya ... If this was an old abandoned castle, there might be bandits who made it their headquarters?" Yeah, that's not a bad idea. This old castle though looks a bit chaotic, but I'm sure he can still be used just for the night, or if someone is willing to fix it ...

"Right, I think we should destroy it before they turn it into a base." Okay, it's decided. So it's about just destroying it, huh?

Staring ...

And suddenly I felt someone looking at me with eyes full of hope. Well, it was the same gaze when he begged for something.

"You can do that after we've been around for a while." I didn't really expect to find some kind of gold there, but there's no harm, right? Take a short walk inside.

"Do you mean our Master will hunt?" Yeah, possibly. You can call it that.

"I suspect this could be some kind of labyrinth." And when I carelessly guess.

[New Mission!]

Eh? What was? Suddenly the system made a rather noisy sound.

[Mission: Beat 50 monsters.]

[Gift: 10,000 copper]

"System ... What mission is this?"

"Just like you said earlier. No one knew it was a castle with a labyrinth." I still don't understand, labyrinth you say? "From your story, they left the castle because of the lack of people, right?"

"About they were kidnapped it ... Maybe because of ghosts ..." Wow, wow ... I was silent for a long time, before.

"You're saying there's a ghost?!" I-it would be pretty creepy if the system also said, "The spirits of the dead inhabit the castle." But really, if that's what's coming out of the system's mouth.

"I can't believe ..."

"Relax, they're just monsters. Which is controlled by magic." Oh, so there's something like that? "Yes, they were bewitched by someone who hated the construction of the castle."

The system's intent was, long before the castle was built there was a witch who lived in this region, and. Since the witch's house was on the project site, the soldiers forcibly evicted her.

"He was angry and took revenge by sending his contract monsters to scare someone who came to the castle, including kidnapping people." So, that's how all these ghost stories started. So they were just monsters whose contracts were assigned to disrupt the construction, but why had they not left after finishing doing so?

"Because the witch wanted this castle. Not to be destroyed, but ..." Ah, I know now. So, the reason there are monsters there, plus the circulation of ghost stories only to drive away people who have the intention of entering the house without permission, including adventurers?

I had even expected this to be what I would hear. So now isn't there anything to worry about?

"Add, I advise you not to kill the perpetrator." Wait, isn't that necessary? "No, he's not what you think."

I still don't understand, but. Yes already. The system of saying there's no need to do it means one thing for this, "You're definitely hiding something aren't you?"

"Exact ..." Uh, he didn't even try to hide it, "You'll find out after getting inside."

Okay, then, "Liya ... We're going."

"Shall I light a torch, sir?" Yeah, maybe it'll feel a little dark in there. I then made Liya light a small fire at the end of her wand.

"It's a lot like a torch to me." I know I didn't guess wrong, I think anyone who saw it would think so.

***

Entering the castle, we found a spacious room not far from the entrance. We guessed it as, the living room.

"It's big enough for a castle." Wondering if everything was built 100 percent successfully. "With all this grandeur, can we put it in the category of large castles?"

"It's possible, they're designed to match the size of a large castle." Oh, what a pity to leave him. Turns out it's not as bad as I thought, they still look new and well-groomed.

"Wait, it looks like someone's watching!" I looked around, and found. A chair, table, flower vase, wall, window, moving armour, sofa ... Eh?

"They're alive?!"

What're those?! I instantly drew the sword when something suddenly sounded. There are two, emmm ... I mean, three, or ... Ten possible armors that surround us?
