章 81: Chapter 81: House Warming

On the ground lay a long eared being. Covered in what seemed to have been a long cloak, the girl with platinum blonde hair lay still, her sleep tranquil as a flower.

"Ghost!" Elric said again.

Footsteps rang behind as Erika and Gustavo climbed up too.

Claude stepped ahead and kicked the head of the girl.

"HEY!"

"EH!?"

"STOP YOU!"

Three voices screamed in his ears as the ghost rolled away.

"What?" Claude snapped and asked, his voice threatening all the ones that spoke to him. "I was just checking if it was a ghost."

"I am scared of ghosts," muttered the Lord of Shadows. "And even I could obviously tell that she isn't. We should go and tell the mayor"

"Ah, um… that person doesn't seem like a ghost." Gustavo said too, slightly spooked by Claude's nonchalance in kicking away a downed person.

"Oh, do you sell people with your houses now?" Elric asked. "We definitely should go to the mayor. To get you cuffed that is."
