Chapter 16 Haunted Housing Complex

On the outskirts of Tokyo where there is a road for public transportation to enter the forest. If you follow that road you will be taken to the Lucifad Housing Complex.

There is a white wall with a luxurious gate covered in gold and the symbol of the Lucifuge family on it. People going through the gate will naturally see the Lucifuge family symbol which means that after entering the gate you will be in the Lucifuge family's territory.

Even though the luxury housing complex is made for rich people who want to live there, people should know and not forget that the land there belongs to the Lucifuge family. Aside from living there peacefully, you can't do anything stupid like doing anything illegal or making a big noise that disturbs people. If you do, it's tantamount to creating chaos in Lucifuge's territory and provoking Lucifuge.

You will be the target of retaliation from the Lucifuge family. Smart people know that the seven great families in Japan cannot be provoked carelessly. So if you want to live in the Lucifad Housing Complex, you must live honestly and must not break the rules there.

Be a good person to keep the peace in Lucifad.

Those words are emphasized to everyone who lives in the housing complex.

And it was effective at least until a week ago when the people living there couldn't resist making a scene.

Those people were freaking out because they were often bothered by ghosts, they didn't care about Lucifuge's rules or anything. After getting sick of being bothered by ghosts, they demanded Lucifuge to return their money. Many of them moved to other places, they didn't want to stay in the Lucifad Housing Complex any longer and waited for the compensation that the Lucifuge family provided elsewhere.

"So that's why this housing complex looks so deserted?" Riser asked as he looked at the streets of the housing complex that were luxurious, but deserted as far as the eye could see.

Riser didn't even see anyone but him and Grayfia here.

Grayfia smiled bitterly and replied. "Yes, many of them chose to move to hotels or to other houses they own besides here."

Riser nodded in understanding and continued walking slowly with Grayfia beside him.

This housing complex was very beautiful, many of the houses were made in the European style. The designs were also different and seemed to have been customized according to the request of each homeowner.

Many trees lined up neatly by the roadside, there were trees with green leaves and some had yellow leaves. This contrast creates a beautiful scenery and actually the quiet atmosphere at this time of the year makes this place even more beautiful.

The air here is also very fresh, I guess it's because this place is quite far in the forest and quite far from the city.

"What do you think about this housing complex?"

"It's a nice place."

Riser answered Grayfia's question honestly.

Grayfia smiled, still happy that someone complimented work her people, especially if it was Riser.

"Just that?"

"I'm not an architectural expert, my vocabulary to praise the beauty of this housing complex is limited. Unless..."

Riser looked at Grayfia who was currently wearing a white shirt covered by a cream blazer suit, cream trousers, and cream loafers. With a slim and sexy figure, Grayfia's outfit looked perfect and enhanced her image as the female CEO of a giant corporation.

Her long silver hair was braided back with a blue ribbon, making it sway left and right with her hips as she walked.

It looked pleasing to the eye.

Grayfia's facial features were also very beautiful, plus her milky-white skin, under the sunlight she looked like a goddess basking in the sun.

"Except what?"

Grayfia looked at Riser who walked beside her with narrowed eyes and a faint smile on her beautiful face.

She felt the gaze of Riser who was observing her appearance seriously without any dirt in his eyes.

Making her heart beat faster than usual.

"Except for woman walking beside me. I have a longer description to describe her beauty, want to hear it?"

Riser smirked as he stared at Grayfia's cold face, but he could see a slight blush in her ears.

"Bah! No thanks. That kind of thing just tell your fiancé."

Grayfia lightly punched Riser's shoulder to cover her embarrassment at being teased, the atmosphere of the place they were in didn't help either, but somehow this seemed like a date.

It made her heart feel sweet and fluttering, but she remembered that the man walking beside her already had a fiancé.

Grayfia felt complicated in her heart, but thinking about last night she had invited the fiancé of another woman to have dinner with her.

Isn't it too late to think about Riser's fiancee?

She didn't even apologize to Rias Gremory after doing all that with her fiancé.

Grayfia felt a little evil.

Hearing the word "fiancé" mentioned by Grayfia, Riser almost forgot that he already had a fiancé.

This was quite disturbing, although he originally wanted to cancel the engagement with Rias, but he changed his mind and chose to give Rias a chance first.

Now he just needed to wait and see if Rias was willing to change for him. If the result is not satisfactory, he will completely cancel the engagement with her.

Although Rias was heroine, as long as she wasn't with Issei and gave Issei a chance to rise. Riser felt it was fine if Rias didn't want to be with him.

The atmosphere around Riser and Grayfia became awkward for a few minutes after that.

Riser had seen a small part of this housing complex, and it would be troublesome if he had to see everything.

Because it was too vast! So Riser immediately asked Grayfia an important question.

"So where is the house most plagued by ghosts? Did you investigate, Grayfia?"

Hearing Riser ask seriously, Grayfia was also serious and thought for a while before answering.

The two stopped walking and stared at each other on the deserted road.

The wind was blowing...

The leaves on the road are flying...

The sky above also looked a little cloudy.

"If I'm not mistaken. According to the reports I've received, almost all the residents of the houses in this complex are plagued by ghosts when they're inside their homes. Things break, things move on their own, strange noises are heard, and worst of all, ghostly apparitions are clearly visible, even the CCTV cameras capture the ghostly apparitions."

"All the residents of the house have experienced ghostly disturbances in their respective houses, but the most frequent are the houses inhabited by people from the Bael family. Two people from the Bael family live there to be exact. They are both a mother and son."

Hearing Grayfia's explanation, Riser pondered for a moment and recalled the plot.

[In the original work, the reason why the Lucifuge Housing Complex became haunted, was because Hades opened a portal connecting the underworld and the human world.]

[This caused ghosts from the underworld to come to the human world and caused them to roam freely around the portal. Why only around the portal? It's because ghosts also have restrictions to affect things in the human world.]

[The portal created by Hades has another additional function. Apart from allowing ghosts in the underworld to go to the human world, the portal also serves as a spiritual support for ghosts to give them a bit of power to influence things in the human world over a wide range. Wide enough to reach the entire land that became the Lucifad Housing Complex.]

[In addition to affecting objects such as moving objects, the ghosts can also appear in front of people and affect people slowly.]

[The fact is that this world is not as simple as people see it, other than the existence of cultivator objections. In this world there are still many supernatural things hidden in the dark parts of society.]

[Of course, all of this was created by dog author who created this novel, so even though it seems absurd, it's all real.]

[And the key point in the plot of this Lucifad Housing Complex problem is the house occupied by two people from the Bael family. The mother and son did not know that the object buried under their house was something Hades wanted.]

[Hades being the king of ghosts in the underworld, he also has his own limitations for interfering with things in the human world. He couldn't go straight to retrieve the object buried under the house. So he used a plan that took time so that he could get the object he wanted.]

[The basic plan was to turn the Lucifad Housing Complex into a Haunted City filled with negative energy so that he or his own subordinates could do many things like humans. And retrieving objects buried under houses also became easy after the plan was successfully carried out.]

The heroines were surprised to hear this.

Did they just hear the other side of the world?

Hades?

The underworld?

Those ghosts coming out of the portal?

Such things do exist!

Sona, who was sitting in the living room with her family, suddenly shuddered knowing the other side of the world she lived in.

As a young lady from one of the seven great families in Japan.

Sona had of course learned many things about this world, at least the things recorded in books or the internet she knew.

But about the existence of the underworld, the ghost king Hades, and portals that could bring out ghosts.

Things like that, she just knew!

If she couldn't hear Riser's inner voice, she might never have known this information in her life.

"Sona, what's wrong with you? Your body is suddenly shaking, are you sick?" Sona's mother who was watching a drama on TV asked worriedly to her daughter.

"I'm fine mom."

"Really? But you..."

Sona smiled at her mother. "I'm really fine mom... and don't tell big sister about little things like this. I just remembered something scary from the horror movie I watched last night."

Sona's mother, who was about to call Sona's older sister, stopped and put her cell phone on the table.

She sighed and said, "Oh, thank goodness. I thought our Sona was sick..."

"...."

Mom...

If I was sick, instead of calling the doctor, why would you call my sister?

Sona's lips twitched.

The other heroines were also quite surprised after hearing what Riser said.

But that was it, as it had nothing to do with them.

They continued with their own business.

After all, the plot this time was the problem that the heroine Grayfia Lucifuge had in her family's housing complex.

...

Back again to Riser's side.

Riser was led by Grayfia to a large house on the north side of the housing complex. They both had to use a car to get there because it was quite far.

On the other side, after hearing Riser's inner voice earlier, Grayfia finally knew the reason why her housing complex became haunted.

It turned out to be Hades!

The bastard opened a portal from the underworld to make ghosts roam and make trouble in her housing complex.

Although Hades' title of ghost king seemed quite domineering, but instead of being scared, Grayfia felt like hitting Hades on the head.

Just because you want to take things, you want to make my housing complex into a haunted city.

Can't you just ask a human to pick up your items and have a courier deliver them to the underworld?

Is it hard to think of a simpler way with less trouble?

Don't make this much trouble just because you want to pick up stuff!

Grayfia's face was very cold as she stared at the house in front of her, she was in a bad mood because someone was planning to mess up her place of business.

Riser who was standing beside Grayfia wondered if Grayfia had a grudge against the residents of the house in front of her?

"After being plagued by ghosts so often, have the people living in this house moved out yet?" Riser asked when he saw the large European-style house in front of him.

He and Grayfia were currently standing in front of the gate of the house.

"Unlike the residents of other houses, the residents of this house somehow chose to stay despite being frequently plagued by ghosts."

Riser sighed and smiled wryly.

[It's the same as in the plot. These people insist on staying in the haunted place, even though they can move to another place without any problems. The plot seems to have affected their IQ so they've become stupid.]

Grayfia who was standing beside him suddenly laughed.

"What's wrong Grayfia? Why are you suddenly laughing?"

"Pfft! No, it's nothing. I just remembered something funny."

Riser: ???

Riser gave Grayfia a strange look, but he shook his head and pressed the bell of the house in front of him.

Grayfia on the other hand wiped away a few tears at the corner of her eyes, she laughed to the point of tears.

It took a while before she returned to the image of her iceberg president.

"Yes, hello? Oh, there's a guest! Please come in." A male voice came from the intercom beside the gate.

The gate of the house then opened automatically.

Riser and Grayfia looked at each other before walking into the yard.

At the front door of the house, they saw a teenage boy in a black sports jersey with red stripes and black pants. He seemed to have been exercising at his house a moment ago.

The teenage boy saw them coming and smiled kindly.

"Welcome, I'm Sairarorg Bael! I live here. Before coming in, may I know why you two came here?"

...

Meanwhile, at Tokyo airport a plane descended and a man dressed like a Hawaiian tourist got out of the plane.

Who else if not protagonist Issei?

Issei seemed to be in a hurry as he exited the plane, making the other passengers who had just gotten off the plane frown.

"Who is this bumpkin?"

"It's really rude to push people to exit first."

"Why is he dressed like a hawaiian tourist? Even if you want to go to the beach, there's no need to wear clothes like that on a plane."

Issei sneered and ignored the people who didn't know the Dragon King Style.

The Dragon King always distinguished himself from others, so clothes should also have a distinctive feature in order to be the center of attention.

Look at the eyes people automatically look at him when he just got off the plane.

This is the Dragon King's style!

Issei likes this feeling and can't help but walk arrogantly.

I feel so handsome.

The women who look at me for more than three seconds must fall in love with me.

This is Issei's current psychology.

But only briefly, before he gets serious and calls one of his eyes and ears in Tokyo.

"Hello, have you found out where Grayfia went?"

"What, the Lucifad Housing Complex? Okay, that's it."

Issei hung up without thanking the other party. This was how the Dragon King usually was, and his people shouldn't complain either.

[Grayfia, here I come! I've arrived in Tokyo and will pick you up soon hehe.]

[That man you brought with you. I'll definitely make him disappear from this world and you won't have to worry about being threatened by him anymore!]

[I will definitely save you Grayfia! And I can also help solve the problem in your housing complex. Hehe you'll definitely be happy after that and beg me to be my wife].

[Although I am reluctant to accept a woman who is no longer pure, instead of a wife, you become my concubine, Grayfia!]

After saying such a nonsensical thing in his mind, Issei ran and got into a taxi.

His destination was clear, he was going to meet Grayfia at the Lucifad Housing Complex!

The heroines and Riser were confused by what Issei had said.

It seems that this protagonist really has brain problems.

...

Author note

I had a mental attack after seeing a certain villain novel with an MC who was unburdened by the fact that his fiancé had her virginity taken by another man. The other man was the bodyguard of the MC's fiancé, and the MC's fiancé foolishly let the other man's cock penetrate her hole just to test whether a big cock would fit in her hole? MC's fiancé loves MC very much, but she let her personal bodyguard put a cock in her hole just for testing. Crazy! MC's fiancée did that because she knew that MC's cock was big, so she was worried that MC's cock wouldn't fit in her hole and she got the stupid idea of trying her personal bodyguard's cock first. Crazy, this level of stupidity exceeds all the brainless characters in my book.
