Orc Harem Vol 3 Chapter 2

Chapter 2: The Gap Between Orc and Priest Could be Closed if There Was Pervert in Between

.

Orc Car had become wind.

The distance that a horse carriage would need three whole days to travel was passed through in less than half a day.

There were a lot of people using this main road. There was also the local nature of the commercial city, so many of them were merchants with sharp eyes and loved to gossip.

Surely the matter of Orc Car would spread far and wide as gossip in the blink of eye.

If that happened, it would also be good to turn this vehicle into business product.

Even for those without magic power as overwhelming as mine, if they were first class magician than they would be able to endure powering Orc Car for around three hours with speed of 30 until 40 km/hour.

I estimated that there would be a lot of people who wanted to obtain this.

You could buy time with money. It was impossible for someone to become first class merchant unless they understood that value.

「Uu, I’ll vomit.」

「The world, it’is turning round and round」

Tita and Kururu had pale faces while they crawled out of Orc Car.

The shaking from the car running became stronger when the caterpillar tracks were taken off.

The tire was made from special material compared to the normal horse carriage, so the shaking was weaker, but I drove really fast and caused the shaking to become more intense.

Especially Kururu. As  fox eared beautiful girl, she was from a race with sensitive senses. That was why she received greater damage. The fur of her tail was shrinking down.

「This thing is still a prototype, that’s why its construction is coarse. Next time I’ll improve it more by installing a suspension in it so that it will be more pleasant to ride.」

After all it was just a prototype that I made in three days based on mere idea without any blueprint.

I was able to obtain a mountain of data from the driving this time. I’d use that data to improve it.

Kururu walked toward me unsteadily and grabbed my shoulders.

Her eyes were a bit scary.

「I beg you to drive safely. If not I won’t get in it anymore.」

「Yeah, I’ll be careful next time.」

She got traumatized from the speed limit test that I did near the city.

I drove really recklessly.

The car easily went passed 100 km/hour when I poured my magic power in full power.

I should stop there, but my curiosity welled up and I aimed to go even further than that.

More specifically, I asked wind spirits to create a wind tunnel in front of the car to erase the wind resistance. Then I combined the power of wind spirits and fire spirits behind the car to perform rocket propulsion.

The car instantly accelerated greatly until 400 km/hour.

The shaft and wheels went nut in an instant. The car flew and crashed and the ground to turn into pieces……before such thing happened, I cushioned it with wind so that it hovered without accident.

And then I got even more carried away after that and even do a lot of acrobatics maneuver.

……Even someone else other than Kururu would get traumatized from that.

「I was scared to death, but that thing is convenient. If it can run safely, I think it will be really pleasant to ride.」

「I agree with that. It was the best when I got used to the speed and it ran in constant speed. But only when it ran normally! What was that thing, Sure Kill, Orc Tornado or whatever! Was there any point to make the car roll around like that!?」

「My bad, honestly I’m reflecting on it. I’ll seal off that movement.」

Ma○num Tornado. I believed that anybody would admire something like that. When the car was hovering, I thoughtlessly frolicked around and made the car roll around like a bullet. That rotation had no meaning at all. If I was forced to say, it was because of romance!

But, after going that far I also wanted to try Ma○num Dynamite, but let’s do it when I was alone. I wouldn’t have any excuse at all the next time I messed up like this again.

I was an orc who could read the mood.

Kururu covered her mouth with a pale face.

「Um, sorry, I have a good medicine for vehicle sickness.」

「I’ll take it. My head is pounding.」

I’d properly make up for this to them later.

This time it was totally my fault.

◇

We headed to the mansion after Kururu felt better.

「So this is Ork-san’s mansion. It’s really big and beautiful and splendid.」

「Yeah, I’m making a harem. So of course I’ll need a big mansion. You can use any room you like, and after that I’ll show you my workshop.」

In order to allow a lot of wives and children to live comfortably, I needed a splendid mansion even if the rent was high.

「I’m really curious with Ork-san’s workshop. If there is already a workshop here then perhaps I won’t need another one for myself.」

「No, my workshop’s purpose is too focused on magic research. It will be difficult for Kururu to use it.」

I was also training as a blacksmith, but I was only studying it as an extension of alchemy in the end. My workshop was optimized for use of magician.

It wouldn’t suit Kururu whose main occupation was blacksmith.

「Magic is it……I also want to adopt that too into my skill in consideration of the future. If I can properly learn magic, it feels like I’ll be able to make use of it a lot in blacksmithing. I arrived to that conclusion after watching Ork-san.」

「It’s good that you’re passionate with studying. But, even if I teach you magic, as expected my workshop is just too specialized. Besides I also want to properly design Kururu’s workshop. It won’t be a workshop that is specialized for blacksmithing, but a blacksmith workshop that is also using magic. Let’s design it with the two of us.」

「Yes, I’m really looking forward to that! Err, I have already good ideas for that.」

「……Hou, that’s interesting. But, if you do it like this」

「Ah, that’s nice.」

Her bad mood from Orc Tornado was blown away during the discussion about the workshop.

(Hehehe, this fox puppy is too easy.)

Forget about giving her compensation and buttering her up, it was also possible enough that things would get heated up during our planning the workshop together and it would develop into love making.

「Hey, Ork, you are making a wicked face for some reason.」

「I-I don’t know what you mean.」

As expected from Tita. She was sharp.

I faked a smile while stepping into our mansion after so long.

◇

Thanks to the servants working hard even while we were away, the cleanliness was maintained.

「There are a lot of rooms. There is also a living room, a large kitchen, dance hall, and the individual room numbered more than ten. All of the rooms are spacious too. Isn’t this mansion absurdly expensive to rent?」

「That’s not true. The rent is about this much.」

「……Isn’t that too cheap? Because, this mansion is near the market, the building is this splendid, and the size is so big.」

「Kururu, is that strange?」

「If it’s in my city, it won’t be strange for the rent to be ten times that amount.」

Unlike Tita who was ignorant of the way the world worked, Kururu had a proper sense of money.

That was why she noticed the abnormal cheapness of this mansion.

「That’s because this is a problematic property.」

「Is it alright if I ask what’s so problematic about this mansion?」

Kururu looked at me with suspicion. It couldn’t be helped that she was concerned about a reason that could make this mansion’s price to be a tenth of the market value.

Should I hide the reason, or should I tell them……let’s tell them. It would be better the less secrets there were between husband and wife.

「The former owner of this mansion was a noble. That guy had a bit, no, a serious case of bad hobby. He did a lot of messed up things. He killed dozens of people in this mansion.」

「Is this mansion cheap because there were people who died here? So humans are bothered by that kind of thing.」(Tita)

In my previous life this mansion would be considered as a cursed mansion. There building that had people died in it was disliked.

But…….

「No, nobody would be bothered if it was just that.」

The value of life in this world was relatively light.

There were monsters running rampant everywhere. It wouldn’t be strange for someone to die anytime if they left the city. And because the medical care standard was low, humans could easily depart from things like epidemic and the like. Sometimes there would also be famine that caused thousands of people to die from hunger. Even the public order wasn’t good.

Because death was always so close, nobody would be bothered just from some property that had somebody died in it.

「What do you mean that there wasn’t just death here?」

「The former owner was someone with the hobby of torturing young boys and girls while raping them. He did that to dozens of people……if you do something like that, some of them would inevitably turn into vengeful ghost. Individually that kind of ghost is weak. But, the target of their resentment was focused to just one person and the quality was also dreadful so they fused and turned big, furthermore, this mansion was built on top of a leyline, a path of mana. The vengeful ghost absorbed the mana and became strong. It cursed the former owner to death. Since then the vengeful ghost would curse anybody who come here. There were five people before me who rented this mansion. Apparently all of them got cursed to death, so nobody would rent this mansion anymore.」

Something like ego would be blown away to kingdom come just from multiple souls mixing into one.

Then when power was poured into that mix, with sadness, anger, resentment, suffering, and such things painting over it completely, it would be reduced into an existence that simply cursed to death everything that entered its sight.

Such pitiful and powerful vengeful ghost was living in this mansion. It made nobody was able to live here.

「There is no way anyone will want to rent such mansion!」

「That’s why I can rent it for cheap.」

「Err, then why is Ork-san and Tita-san who are living in this kind of place are still safe?」

「Because I had exorcised it. It was so that I could live pleasantly here, and I also couldn’t bear to see them who continued to curse other people while already forgetting even their own identity. Right now there is already nobody else here other than us.」

「If the ghost could be exorcised then the current owner should just do it himself. The owner would be able to rent this mansion with higher price if he paid a pro to exorcise the ghost.」

The result of studying to be merchant was already showing from Tita. If not then she wouldn’t be able to think up this kind of idea.

「No, I heard that he already tried that. It seemed that he requested famous priest to exorcise the ghost.」

「But, the ghost was still here when Ork-san moved in wasn’t it?」

「Yeah. The ghost was too powerful that the priest got cursed to death instead. The owners tried three times before he gave up.」

「Why was Ork-san able to exorcise such ghost when even people whose job was doing such thing got cursed to death!?」

「Because, it’s Ork after all.」

My countermeasure against vengeful spirit was also perfect. It was one of the necessary skill for making harem.

「Well, that’s the circumstance. But, even though the danger has gone, if Tita and Kururu still dislike living in a place where such incidents once occurred, I’ll quickly search for another place to move in.」

My only choice would be to search for a place where my harem could live while I didn’t have too much money.

Also because the vengeful ghost had rampaged too much, the renting contract didn’t include the requirement to keep the mansion in its original state. I could remodel this place as I pleased which was convenient.

But, if the two of them disliked this place, I had no problem with moving. Fortunately right now I had some money that could enable me to do that.

「I don’t really have a problem with it. Such thing doesn’t bother me.」

「Ork-san has even created your workshop here. What’s more this is a good mansion. I also don’t mind.」

「Thank you. Thanks to that I won’t need to reduce my budget for building our new home.」

「Eh, we aren’t going to live here forever?」(Tita)

「The contract is for three years. I’m not telling the landlord that I have exorcised the ghost. But it looks like he is suspecting that the ghost is exorcised seeing that I’m still alive and healthy like this. It’s obvious that he will offer the normal price when it’s time to renew the contract……it won’t be a problem to continue renting this mansion with that price, but if given the choice, I’d rather pile up a lot of money before that and build the ideal house for me and my beloved people to live in.」

Three years. If I had that much time, surely my harem would have been completed.

And then I would listen to the opinions of my beloved people and created the ideal home by my own hand.

「That seems like it will be really fun.」

「I’ll also help out! I’m a blacksmith, so construction isn’t my field, but Ork-san can do so many things like this. Even I have to widen my field of expertise too for a bit.」

I smiled.

Imagining the future of being surrounded by my beloved people while clamorously having discussion about what kind of house we wanted in excitement was really fun. The smile naturally formed on my face.

In order to create such future, I needed enough money and the best harem.

I had to work hard still to realize that.

After Kururu’s workshop was completed for the time being, I’d drastically advance the preparation of that thing for the business discussion I had at the caravan.

If it went well, outrageous sum of money would enter my pocket.
