The place the receptionist guided us to was a single-story house quietly standing at the edge of town.
At first glance, it had an ordinary appearance found anywhere.
“Shall we take a look inside right away?”
As urged, we stepped inside.
In the living room beyond the entrance were a familiar kitchen and a laundry area.
Up to this point, it was normal.
However, the moment I pushed open the door further inside, I was left speechless.
“This is…”
“It’s amazing…”
“Ahaha, you’re surprised, aren’t you? This is the reason why this property is traded at a bargain price.”
Spread out before our eyes was a luxurious room specialized for adult activities.
A huge circular bed sat right in the center of the room.
Large mirrors were arranged on the ceiling and walls.
In the bathroom visible through the glass was a huge bathtub dyed wine red and a washing area boasting a space larger than the bed.
Even the toilet, which was barely hidden, was unified in the same wine red.
–No matter how you look at it, it is literally a “love hotel.”
“Misako, no matter how you look at this, it looks just like that kind of place…”
“Y-Yeah, right…”
Misako’s cheeks dyed a faint crimson.
My heartbeat began to speed up as well.
“The previous owner was an executive of a dark organization. It seems he was a devoted husband—no, a lecherous man. For defense, it seems indestructible magic is cast on this room. It cannot be broken or remodeled, and the owner has been scratching their head over how to dispose of it… Moreover, it even has a gimmick like this.”
The moment the receptionist pressed the switch on the wall, the room lights went out.
What lit up instead was a seductive, dim red-pink lighting.
With the staging of that lighting seductively highlighting the center of the bed, I swallowed hard on my saliva.
It’s just like a strip club…
“Does the fact that you are troubled with its disposal mean that you are also prepared to sell it?”
At Misako’s question, the receptionist nodded deeply.
“Yes, it can be purchased for 6 gold coins—ten times the rent amount. Including the guild’s commission, it can be purchased for 6 gold coins and 3 silver coins.”
Misako directed a mischievous gaze at me and opened her mouth.
“Ren, this property… shouldn’t we buy it?”
“Yeah. The cheapness is definitely attractive, and it might be good.”
In my mind, the image of Misako smiling in a panther-like pose under the red-pink lighting vividly floated up.
“Honestly. Stretching your nose out, you’re so lewd.”
Contrary to her exasperated tone, Misako peered into my face happily.
“Um… The passion is fine, but if you’re going to buy it, you should look around the room a bit more…”
Following the receptionist’s advice mixed with a wry smile, we looked around the interior once again.
To put it simply, it was an incredible bargain.
Beside the bed was a luxurious velvet sofa.
On the wall was a mysterious monitor.
There shouldn’t be televisions in this world, so could it be a type of magical tool?
At the back of the bathroom were a gold chair carved into a strange shape and something leaning against the wall that looked like a beach mat.
It was clear that the “dark organization member who was a devoted husband” was quite the lecherous man.
There were only suspicious items, but all of them were clearly things you could never buy normally.
Returning to the living room, a fine cupboard, table, and chairs were left just as they were.
With this, all we need to buy additionally are the bare minimum daily necessities.
“Is it correct that all these furniture pieces are included as a set?”
Misako confirmed with a look where she couldn’t hide her excitement.
“Yes, everything will be handed over as is.”
We exchanged glances and gave small nods.
“”We’ll buy it.””
Our overlapping voices echoed briskly through the single-story living room.
