SCIAW: Chapter 504/505

Chapter 504: Transfer of Ownership and Moving

At 10:00 AM sharp, the Miyano sisters arrived at the agreed-upon villa entrance.

They saw a man in a suit already standing there.

One could see that his suit had not been tidied in a few days, and his hair was much messier, as if it had not been combed. He had deep eye bags and some dark circles, and upon closer inspection, the bloodshot in his eyes looked like he had pink eye. He appeared to be in a very bad state.

Akemi, who had met the landlord once, also looked at him strangely.

"Sawamura, what happened to you…?"

Sawamura struggled to open his eyes. At this moment, he truly felt what it meant to be mentally and physically exhausted.

…Recently, I have had a lot going on.

Thinking of his experiences recently, Sawamura was already on the verge of collapsing.

It was like the divination he had sought from a powerful diviner, who told him that the villa he had bought was the reason for his continuous downfall.

That diviner's advice to him was to cut his losses.

Abandon the villa he had bought cheaply and spent a lot of money renovating. As long as someone accepted it, his luck, which had hit rock bottom, would return, and the bad luck would transfer to someone else.

And there was the problem with the villa itself.

Thinking of the unlucky things he had encountered recently, Sawamura now only wanted to transfer this villa.

Selling the villa and keeping a sum of money, he might even be able to make a comeback.

Of course, he was much better than the person who had sold the villa to him. At least he told the buyer about the villa's situation when they were willing to buy it.

As for the transfer of bad luck, he really did not dare to mention it. If he did, this buyer would definitely run away.

Sawamura tried his best to adjust his state.

"Miss Haibara, the purchase contract has been brought over. Can we sign this time?"

The Miyano sisters exchanged glances.

Something was fishy.

Both of them noticed the problem, but neither said anything about it.

Akemi had already thoroughly investigated the interior of this villa. As a Secrets Suppliant, her intuition was not something ordinary people could compare with. That intuition also allowed her to see some wandering souls.

As for other strange places, she had not found them yet, and she did not know if she had missed anything.

Akemi smiled slightly.

"Naturally, we can."

"If Sawamura is in a hurry, we can sign the purchase agreement now and quickly handle the transfer of ownership."

Hearing this, Sawamura breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to sell off this villa as soon as possible was his urgent matter now. In his opinion, this thing was simply like the worst curse.

"That, of course, would be best."

The signing was completed, and the transfer of ownership was quickly finalized at the notary's office. At the same time, 50 million yen was also transferred.

After completing all the transfer procedures and receiving the 50 million yen for the house, Sawamura finally felt completely relieved.

This way, he had managed to get rid of that big trouble.

The overly excited emotion almost made Sawamura unable to control his laughter.

He turned around and, with excited emotions, thanked Miss Haibara:

"Miss Haibara, thank you very much for taking on this trouble."

"Not at all, in fact, our sisters also got a great bargain."

Hearing Akemi say this, Sawamura felt a little uneasy. After all, he really did not want these two young ladies to come back and trouble him after something happened.

He was not very worried about the realistic implications, he was just afraid of the non-realistic implications.

Fortunately, the transfer of ownership had been completed, and he could emphasize some things now.

"Miss Haibara, if you need to live there, I think you should be careful. You should also know that the villa is not clean."

Akemi naturally knew this.

"Our sisters know this, otherwise, such a large villa would not have been sold by Sawamura for 50 million."

Hearing Miss Haibara say that, Sawamura had nothing else to say.

He had said everything he could. If something happened later, it would not be his problem.

"It is good that Miss Haibara knows the situation."

So, if Miss Haibara encounters any problems later, can you not come to me?

Akemi understood even more that this Sawamura had encountered some abnormal things, and it had been confirmed that the villa was the cause…

She just smiled slightly.

"Naturally, since that villa was bought by our sisters, no matter what problems arise in the future, we will not trouble Sawamura."

Hearing this, Sawamura patted his chest in relief.

"That is good, that is good."

"In that case, Miss Haibara, I will see you again if there is a chance. I will take my leave first."

With that, Sawamura left without looking back.

Shiho, who had been standing beside Akemi, leaned closer.

"Sister, it seems the problems within that villa are quite significant."

"If they were not significant, could we buy it for 50 million?"

Akemi shook her head slightly.

The problems within that villa must be significant, but generally, they are issues of spiritual fields and earth-bound spirits.

These issues are problems for ordinary people, but for them, they are not too big of a deal.

Afterward, Akemi first took out her phone and directly sent the villa's address to Ren.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

A reply came quickly.

"Got it. I will come over to take a look today."

After receiving the reply, Akemi finally put her mind at ease.

"Do not worry, he said he would come to take a look today."

Upon receiving this information, Shiho also relaxed.

"Then there is really no problem."

It is debatable whether there would be problems if others came, but as long as Ren came, that villa would not have any other problems.

"But before that, we also need to move the things we prepared earlier into the villa."

Shiho bought a lot of seeds in Izu, and these seeds were stored in other places. Now that the villa has been secured, those seeds can be moved into the villa.

Next, she would play the role of a Planter, and then set up a consultation room within the villa that could be used for treatment.

"Indeed, moving all your seeds into the villa is also a troublesome task."

Akemi had already thought of her younger sister's mountain-high pile of seeds.

"There is enough time right now, so we can move these things over before school ends."

(To be continued.)

Chapter 505: The Source of Misfortune

5:23 PM, inside the Haibara family's villa.

Shiho and Akemi finally had a chance to catch their breath.

"Phew. Moving these seeds, waste materials, and soil was much more troublesome than I imagined."

Shiho even felt like her body was about to give out.

As a Planter, she had strong confidence in her stamina and strength, but even so, she was exhausted by the work of moving these things.

"You're one to talk."

Akemi rolled her eyes at her sister.

"If I hadn't stopped you a bit, you would have bought even more things."

"Also, next time you buy these things, I'm not against it, but please have them delivered to your door."

She was a Secrets Suppliant, not her sister's Planter, and her stamina and strength had not significantly improved, so she could not squander her energy as freely as her sister.

She was more skilled in certain sacrificial and ritual magic, and these spells were not suitable for moving things.

Seeing her sister's resentful expression, Shiho also felt a little embarrassed.

"I'll be more careful next time, Sister."

She also knew that she had bought a bit too much this time.

After catching her breath, Shiho slowly walked to the window of the room, leaning her hands on the window frame and looking out at the villa.

Not far outside, one could see the side house, and next to the side house was a large sunroom, which was currently empty, but in the future, many plants could be cultivated there.

"This villa is really nice. It has all the necessary amenities."

"It's clear that Sawamura must have done a good job with the renovations, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths. It's just a pity that a past spirit turned into an earth-bound spirit here and evolved into a spiritual field."

Shiho could not help but laugh, seemingly mocking the painstaking Sawamura.

"However, Sawamura must have encountered something big, otherwise he wouldn't have sold it to us so easily."

"Sister, what do you think he encountered that made him say such things?"

Akemi pondered for a moment, then began to analyze:

"Sawamura's problem shouldn't just stem from his physical condition. His living environment must have also deteriorated."

"His unkempt suit today, his unkempt appearance, all indicate that he hasn't been in the mood to deal with his image lately, most likely due to increased stress in his life."

"Most likely, it's directly related to his company's capital chain breaking."

"Judging by his eagerness to offload the villa, he must have confirmed that the villa is directly related to his capital chain breaking."

If not for that, Akemi believed that Sawamura wouldn't be so eager to quickly sell the villa in his hands.

Shiho also thought so.

"How did he confirm such a connection?"

Akemi shook her head slightly. How could she know such a thing?

Of course, she wasn't interested in how Sawamura confirmed the connection between the villa and his capital chain breaking.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know."

"Ding-dong!"

The doorbell outside the villa rang, and Akemi and Shiho quickly got up and immediately went to the villa's entrance.

The two sisters quickly arrived at the entrance and saw only Ren outside the door.

Both of them unconsciously straightened up.

"Good afternoon."

Ren nodded slightly, his gaze passing through the two sisters and looking at the large area of the villa behind them.

"It's indeed a very nice place. Akemi chose a good location."

Akemi smiled slightly, but the next moment, she couldn't smile anymore.

"However, your judgment on the safety of this villa was a bit off. Hmm, it seems this soul is very well hidden. It clearly has no self-awareness, yet it's already skilled at hiding itself."

"There's an evil spirit hidden in this spiritual field."

Akemi's eyes widened.

"Th-there's an evil spirit!?"

Shiho's brows furrowed. She finally understood why the previous landlord said what he did. As expected, this cheaply priced villa had problems.

Actually, Ren didn't find anything strange about an evil spirit being hidden in such a villa.

Just by looking at it, even from his perspective, that evil spirit was well hidden, even disguising itself as one of the earth-bound spirits, and it didn't reveal its evil spirit nature. It even had great control when attacking people.

Ren just smiled and shook his head at this.

"No need to be especially surprised, Akemi."

"Of course, this isn't a problem with your abilities. It's just that as a Secrets Suppliant, your spiritual perception is quite strong, and some souls can be easily captured under your perception. It's just that this evil spirit is good at hiding, and it hides as an earth-bound spirit, so it's no wonder you didn't notice."

"And then, the evil spirit's threat is too small. Its role is in luck, sucking away your good luck, keeping your luck below standard. It won't cause you to be accidentally killed, but it will make you feel like death is better than life."

"I think the previous owner must have noticed this problem, which is why he quickly and cheaply sold this villa, just to transfer this misfortune to the next unlucky person."

So that was how it was.

Akemi and Shiho finally understood why the previous landlord was so happy. It was to transfer the misfortune to them.

Seeing the two sisters looking a bit angry, Ren instead comforted them:

"It's nothing, just an accidental misjudgment. And you didn't really misjudge. Isn't this villa quite good? This spacious villa, with decent renovation, probably costs 800 or 900 million."

"Besides, isn't it just an evil spirit? I don't treat evil spirits as air conditioning or a condition for lowering rent, do I? And no water or electricity bills, how practical."

The sisters both understood that this was Ren comforting them, otherwise who would bring up such a thing?

Their moods improved a lot.

"Let's go. Let's deal with the spiritual field, earth-bound spirits, and evil spirits first, otherwise these guys will affect the atmosphere of this villa."
