Chapter 5: The Ghost’s True Identity

When we stepped inside, I immediately noticed the sledgehammers and saws on the floor of the entrance. These had most likely been abandoned by the commerce guild’s original contractors. The tools weren’t looking so good, though; unlike the mansion, they hadn’t had any sort of preservation enchantment or spell cast on them, and you could tell that they had been in there for a while. The same went for the furniture and clothes that had been left behind by their previous owners.

“Let’s incinerate the furniture and clothes. They’re not going to be of any use to us. As for all the rusty metal stuff, I suppose we can melt it down,” I said as I shoved everything that was lying in the entrance into my magic bag. Then I used Wind Magic to air out the room.

“Lady Witch, there are plates scattered all around this room,” Teto said, returning from a room connected to the entry hall with a metal plate in her hands.

“Is that silverware? We might actually find something good in here.”

Most of the things inside the mansion must’ve been left virtually untouched for over three hundred years.

It’s surprising that no one has ever attempted to plunder this place, I thought. All of a sudden I felt mana filling the room.

“Well, that’s quite the rough welcome!”

Clatter clatter.

The furniture, candlestands, dinnerware, and tools scattered around the mansion started levitating all at once.

“Look, Lady Witch, everything’s floating!”

“So we’re dealing with a poltergeist, huh? That’s a bit cliché, isn’t it?”

The furniture and tools were clattering and colliding against each other loudly, most likely in an attempt to startle us and drive us away. But Teto and I knew that we weren’t really in any meaningful danger, so we didn’t budge. Seeing as we weren’t leaving, the poltergeist seemed to grow more agitated, banging the furniture together even louder.

“Leave. Leave this place at once!”

“Oh, look, it’s trying to talk us out of it now,” I said, turning to Teto. “So, have you noticed what I noticed yet?”

“Yup! The ghost is hiding in this room!”

Teto and I had managed to locate the poltergeist based on the direction its mana was coming from.

“Let’s capture it and hear what it has to say. Psychokinesis!”

Releasing my mana into the air, I overpowered our opponent and seized control of the levitating furniture and tools. I quickly maneuvered them to the sides to clear a path, allowing Teto to dash directly toward the hidden poltergeist.

“I got it! Ah...”

Teto had managed to grab our invisible opponent, but it slipped from her grasp and ran away.

“Lady Witch, it escaped!”

“It’s okay. All we have to do is follow its mana signature.”

Gathering mana into my eyes, I followed the trail of mana left behind by the ghost.

“Go home, go home!” it taunted. I could detect a note of panic in its voice. In another attempt to scare us away, one of the rusty candlestands in the hallway lit up, making it look as if it had a life of its own.
