Chapter 4—Bandit Slaying

“I apologize for making you all wait for a long time, especially since this must have caused a lot of trouble for Touya-san,” said Diola.

“Nah, this is actually faster than we had expected it to take for the investigation to finish,” I said.

Touya himself had commented about how he felt like someone was at his side the entire time, but there weren’t any real problems aside from that. As for Edith, she had told Touya that she would avoid looking when Touya had control of his own body and implied that he was free to beat his meat if he wanted to, but it seemed like even Touya wasn’t bold enough to do so. In any case, ten days was actually quite fast considering the fact that the speed of travel and information was much slower in this different world compared to things back on Earth.

“Well, I whipped everyone that was involved for maximum speed, so that’s why,” said Diola.

Diola-san moved around her hands as she said the word “whipped,” but those movements didn’t look like a slapping gesture. You didn’t actually whip them physically, right, Diola-san...?

“First up, in regard to the haunted mansion, there is no need to exorcise it anymore since it’s been confirmed that Edith-san has left the mansion,” said Diola. “As a result, your party will be paid in full for the successful completion of the quest, and you can keep the amulet too, as I promised. Oh, there were some dead bodies found in the basement, but it seems like those bodies belong to thieves for sure, so that’s not an issue.”

It seemed like Diola-san was used to dealing with dead bodies from her time at the Adventurers’ Guild since she sounded quite nonchalant as she brought up the topic, and the way that those thieves were treated sounded quite normal for criminals in this different world.

“Does this actually count for the completion of the quest?” I asked. “I thought it wouldn’t fly since we haven’t actually exorcised Edith, but...”

“That doesn’t change the fact that the mansion isn’t haunted anymore,” said Diola. “The method used to achieve the result doesn’t matter, after all.”

Our expectations had been quite low for this, but it seemed like this meant that we had managed to obtain the absolute minimum profit for ourselves. All that was left was to decide on what to do about Edith, but that would depend on what else Diola-san had to tell us.

“As for the mansion itself, Kevin Beckman had the rights of ownership to it when he was still alive, and his younger brother Wales had inherited the mansion from him upon his death, but there were some suspicious things about the sequence of events that led to this, so the inheritance has been invalidated,” said Diola.

“Huh? If I recall correctly, Wales is the person who funded the reward for this exorcism quest, right?” Natsuki asked. “Is that really okay?”

“The invalidation happened after the quest was completed.” Diola-san paused for a moment and smiled at us before she continued with her words.
