Lord Vine felt something amiss about the mansion.
"……It’s strange." "Did you notice something, Lord Vine?" "The layout is unnatural. It looks ordinary at first glance, but structurally, there are windows and chimneys where they shouldn't be. And then there’s that, too..." "Ah, indeed! That door on the second floor... there’s no external staircase leading to it." "As you suspect, an unusual, supernatural aura emanates from this mansion. However, I haven't yet been able to pinpoint exactly what it is." "For that matter, there is no record of this mansion in the archives of the Bureau of Architecture or Public Works. It can only be attributed to some kind of supernatural anomaly." "It might be a structure built for magical purposes—much like the 'mansion of a certain weapons manufacturer' in the human realm that my younger brother once told me about. However, I sense no malice in the ambient spiritual energy here, so I cannot definitively label it an evil entity." "In any case, we won't know until we go inside. I am going in now. Lord Vine, please stay here." "No, I shall accompany you. We would likely end up commissioning the Mages' Guild or the Adventurers' Guild for this anyway, so let us resolve it right here." "It is reassuring to have an A-Ranker like Lord Vine with me. Shall we proceed, then...!"
