You call this magic?

Did he know about an ultimate dungeon that might be larger than any other dungeon in this world?

Vanir was very interested in this, but Ethan immediately avoided the topic. After all, it was not a place that Vanir could go and see just because he wanted to.

Banier was not annoyed. Although she said that she could not see through Ethan, that was only on a psychological level. When Ethan was not acting deliberately, his micro-expressions could tell a lot.

The ultimate dungeon does exist.

She remembered this for the moment.

"Okay, once you've eaten, let's get ready to go on the mission."

"Okay."×4

The four of them spoke together, like kindergarten children responding to their teacher.

"But, what specific mission are we going to do today?" Kazuma looked at Ethan, "It's time for a mission that allows me to demonstrate my abilities!"

In previous missions, the four of them often relied on explosion magic to complete the missions, and the other people's job was basically to gather the monsters together in all kinds of ridiculous ways. If necessary, they would even let Darkness act as the tank to withstand the complete explosion magic.

In response to this, Darkness said: Great!

"Unfortunately, today's commission is to go to the dungeon and expel the undead creatures and evil spirits inside." Ethan said, "So Aqua will be the main force."

"What? Is it my turn now?" Aqua's eyes lit up and she puffed out her chest. "Leave everything to me!"

“I don’t want to go.” Huihui immediately raised her hands, looking sad. “I can’t use explosion magic in a place like a dungeon!”

Yes, there is still hope. At least you have self-awareness. Anyone who casts explosive magic in a dungeon knows the consequences.

"This time you just need to stay near the entrance. The three of you will enter the dungeon."

Ethan pointed at Aqua, Kazuma, and Darkness.

"Wait, Boss, aren't you going?"

Kazuma's face suddenly turned pale.

"It's a novice-level dungeon, is there any reason why I must go there?" Ethan looked at Kazuma strangely.

Kazuma had to accept the dilemma of having to rely on himself for C.

Ethan had a reason for not going. He wanted to look for a house.

Because his bonus came down.

The ancient Kingdom of Belzer highly praised the adventurer Ethan for defeating the Headless Horseman, and directly entrusted the guild to send him 300 million Eris as a reward.

Let me count how many zeros there are...

With this money, Ethan can buy the big house. It won't be a big deal to stay in a hotel all the time, mainly because it's too inconvenient.

……

"Ethan..." The black cat Yubel lay on Alice's desk, staring at the name on the report.

"I found you~"

Volume 4: Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Chapter 24: Isn't it a coincidence that you can be a maid?

"Speaking of this house, it was once owned by a noble, but after some unforeseen circumstances, it's now nationalized. Because of this, we regularly send people to clean and maintain the mansion's facilities. Once you sign the contract, you can move in immediately. We'll also provide you with necessary daily necessities. If you're not satisfied, we'll also provide a way to purchase more, and we're offering a 30% discount right now."

At this moment, Ethan was standing at the door of the mansion, and the person chattering beside him was the real estate agent who was responsible for selling the mansion.

Just as the agent said, the courtyard and the house itself were well maintained. If you didn't tell, no one would even be able to tell that the house had been uninhabited for a long time.

That’s right, this luxurious mansion in front of us is the house in the original work where Kazuma and his group were allowed to live for free.

However, because Ethan had dealt with the ghost problem in the public cemetery in advance, Aqua did not have the opportunity to carry out the cruel task of driving all the wandering souls into the city of Axel, so this mansion had no other problems except that it had been vacant for too long.

This is the price that surprised Ethan.

Taking into account all the property rights of the house, including the transfer fees, maintenance costs for the next ten years, etc., it only costs 80 million Eris.

Please forgive Ethan for using the word "only", but for a house like this, the price is indeed very affordable.

"Uh, what is that."

Facing Ethan's gaze, the agent looked away: "Actually, the nobleman who originally owned this house imprisoned his illegitimate child here and died not long after. But, I can guarantee that no evil spirits have ever occurred in this house."

I don’t know if it was to show determination, but the agent’s tone was very serious.

"If you are harassed by an 'evil spirit' in the future, I will ask Miss Weisz to come and deal with it. At that time, we will also compensate you for all losses in the process."

"I see." Ethan looked at the house and didn't see any ghosts at first glance, which meant there was no threat.

He and Wiz had already learned how to exorcise the dead, so if there were any evil spirits here, he could easily deal with them.

"Okay, so be it."

In the face of the agent's somewhat strange expression, Ethan happily signed the contract and paid the full amount in one lump sum.

The real estate agent was also professional. By the afternoon, he had completed all the procedures. At this point, the house was legally owned by Ethan.

After that, everyone in the team can move in, which can be regarded as a benefit that Ethan gives to the team members.

In the evening, Kazuma and the others had not returned yet, but Ethan was waiting for two unexpected visitors.

"What are you two doing here?"

At the door of the mansion, Ethan saw Wiz and Vanir. To Ethan's surprise, Vanir was wearing a slightly cool maid outfit.

"Wiz, when did you hire this girl as your maid?"

"T-Things about this..."

"Brother Ethan, I can't pretend I didn't hear you." Vanir's smile beneath his mask was a bit arrogant. "Do you think this stupid boss has the money to let me wear a maid outfit?"

"Right."

"What do you mean by 'right'? Mr. Ethan, Mr. Vanir... Miss!"

Wiz was completely unable to adapt to Vanir's changes. After all, from the first day she met Vanir, he had always communicated with her as a man, but now he had seamlessly transformed from a shameless man into a shameless woman.

Fortunately, her personality didn't change much, only her behavior changed drastically, otherwise Wiz might mistake her for another person.

"I, I still have some savings... probably."

"Your pitiful savings aren't even a fraction of the bounty you'll receive after revealing your identity."

"Of course it's not comparable, Miss Vanir is going too far!"

"You see, brother Ethan, Wiz appears humble and polite, but underneath she's an extremely arrogant person! Look how confident she is about the potential bounty."

"Please stop talking!" Wiz had a sad face. He was obviously the other party's boss, but he was bullied like this by his employees. It was really sad.

"That's enough. What are you guys here for?" Ethan admitted that he was indeed amused by Vanir. This guy was really making trouble all the time.

"Hmph, it's all because of this useless boss. I heard that you bought this mansion, and I've been itching to sit here. I walked around in circles thirty times this afternoon alone."

“Wa ...

Now she really cried.

After Ethan patted her on the head, Wiz sobbed and explained her purpose.

She knew the earthbound spirit in this mansion and they even had a good relationship, so she wanted to ask Ethan to treat the earthbound spirit well... It was said that she was a younger sister, and her real identity was the illegitimate daughter of the nobleman mentioned by the intermediary.

"There's nothing wrong with being kind to her, but you can't always leave this kind of thing to others, right?" Ethan said, "Since you have a good relationship with her, you should be the one who plays with her more often."

"Ah, but, but..."

Wiz was a little embarrassed. She hadn't really thought about this problem at first. After all, wanting to enter the mansion before was considered trespassing into a state-owned residence. But now, if Ethan allowed it, she could indeed enter and leave the mansion at will.

"I'll leave a room for you in the house. If you miss her, you can stay here for two days." Ethan finally revealed his evil ambitions.

Wiz didn't see any conspiracy at all and felt a little embarrassed: "Well, um, is this too much trouble for you?"

"No, no, no, it's not a problem at all. After all, it was you who took me in when I was desperate. That's how I was able to survive in Axel. Now it's time for me to repay you!" Ethan said righteously. "Besides, this house is too big. If only my team lives in it, it's still too lonely. Having you here will make the house more lively."

Even Wiz was moved by what she heard, and only Vanir was trying to hold back his laughter.

Of course she saw everything, but she didn't care because it would be more fun.

"Well, thank you for your help!" Weiss bowed deeply to Ethan, "I will pay the rent!"

"No problem." Ethan knew that Wiz would not give in anymore, but Ethan also had a way to deal with it.

"Well, boss, brother Ethan, have you forgotten our existence?" Vanir puffed out his chest, a confident smile on his face beneath his mask. "Now that the boss has checked in, we naturally need to find a place to stay!"

"That's right." Ethan looked up and down at Vanir's outfit. "Isn't it a coincidence that you can be a maid? I haven't had time to hire a servant yet."

"Nani, are we the only ones who are servants?!"

"So you haven't told me why you wear a maid outfit."

Volume 4: Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Chapter 25: Vanir's Evil Game

"About this..." Vanir's lips curled up into a mysterious smile. After seeing this smile, Wiz's little face gradually turned pale. Obviously, once Vanir started to laugh, it meant that she wanted to make trouble again.

"Well, um, I'll go back and pack my luggage first!" Wiz turned and ran. Since Ethan knew her, he had never seen her run away as if she was scared. It was really hard to believe.

"What is she doing?" Ethan looked at Wiz's back in confusion as she disappeared into the darkness. He turned around to look at Vanir, only to see Vanir's smile gradually widening.

"It's just right, Brother Ethan. The troublesome boss is not here, so why don't you come with us first? It's a good place, isn't it?" Vanir's tone was full of temptation, and one could even hear a hint of charm.

"Let's go, where are we going?" If Vanir looked like this when he first met her, Ethan might have been attracted to her, but now... if he couldn't be attracted to her at all, it would only make him feel uneasy.

"Don't worry, the place we're going to take you to is a paradise for Axel men."

At this moment, Ethan immediately understood what place Vanir was talking about.

Nightmare Bar.

In a nutshell, it is a store where you can pay to customize erotic dreams, and the price is very low.

"You're not working in there, are you?" Ethan looked at Vanir with vague eyes.

If it was still the previous Vanir, Ethan would certainly not believe it, but now, he couldn't explain it clearly. After all, she didn't have the sense of shame of a human.

Moreover, the nightmare only assists in customizing dreams. The objects that appear in dreams are imagined by the brain with the assistance of the nightmare, not by the nightmare itself. In essence, it is no different from a program.

As a price, the nightmares will absorb a small amount of essence as a necessity for survival.

"Oh? Looks like there's no need to explain." Perhaps because he was so into the role, Vanir's tone became more coquettish. Ethan could only pretend not to hear. "I didn't know you were a regular customer of our store."

"No, I haven't been there."

"I understand. You're impotent."

"You're the one who's wilting. I just... have someone to wait for."

Philen and Yubel, he will not let them down.

Barnil's eyes were odd, but he didn't press the issue. "Your guess is correct. I am indeed working there part-time starting today."

"Uh, aren't you disgusted at all?" Ethan was truly impressed and gained a new understanding of the demon race.

"You know the funny little things we used to do?" Vanir chuckled, shaking his finger. "Once, I transformed myself into an image that perfectly matched their XP to lure adventurers. After they fell in love with me, I told them the truth. Their cries back then were simply exquisitely delicious."

"I think it would be good for the world if I killed you right now."

Ethan personally witnessed this guy doing the exact same thing to Kazuma, which shows how bad his character is.

"But you would actually stoop to doing the work of a nightmare."

This did surprise Ethan. Although Vanir was willing to transform into a woman, firstly because he lost the bet and secondly because she really didn't care about gender restrictions, she was still the real Duke of Hell, and her status was far superior to that of low-level beings like the Nightmare. She could naturally do what the Nightmare could do, but she also had her own pride.

The law of the jungle is the most basic rule, and the demons of hell naturally act according to this rule, fighting with their own kind again and again, and finally getting their current status. A race like nightmares that avoid fighting and survive in Axel by relying on human energy should not be taken seriously by Vanir.

"Oh, it seems you don't understand at all. Of course, this is because I have discovered a more interesting way to eat." She smiled brightly, but Ethan looked at it as a bad idea. "If you are interested, I will show you a little later."

After arriving at the store, no one knew what Vanir did, but the nightmare in the store acted as if it didn't see them. It wasn't pretending, it really couldn't see them.

It is night time now, and most of the people who customized their dreams have gone home to sleep, so there are not many customers coming, and most of them are nightmares preparing to go out.

No one knew how she got the permission, but she took Ethan directly into a private room. In this room, besides a circular sofa, there was a crystal ball on the coffee table in the middle.

"This crystal ball can project the dreams that were influenced by those little guys tonight." Without saying anything, Vanir snapped his fingers, and then a thrilling scene of a pony driving a cart appeared on the screen.

The pony should be the customized main perspective, and the cart is a dream object created by the nightmare.

Ethan remained calm and looked at Vanir: "What the hell are you planning to do?"

"Hehe, don't worry, I've already done some tricks on these nightmares, and the surprise will appear soon~"
