Walking through the house, we headed toward the last door on the second floor. When Edna opened the door, there was the game room/movie theatre. Even though it is called a game room, it only has an arcade machine in the corner of the room.

Beyond that, it had nothing but two large sofas, a large screen a projector. As Rias entered the room and looked around, she sighed and approached the arcade machine.

It was an old Street Fighter machine. It was something I hadn't seen in a long time.

Rias looked at the machine and then clicked the button that turned it on. A famous song started playing. Rias could play alone or with someone else.

She chose the option to play alone and started playing. I looked at Edna and smiled bitterly.

"Do you like that, Rias?"

"I don't like it much, but it's fun," Rias replied.

"Okay, you can play later, all right?" I held Rias' shoulders and pulled him away from the machine. "What did you think of this room?" I asked. Rias looked again at the big screen and sat on one of the couches.

"It's nice. We can watch a lot of movies here. The couch is also comfortable." Hearing this, I sat down next to her, and Edna followed suit, sitting down as well. We stood there staring at the white screen.

After standing there for three long minutes, I stood up.

"It's okay; I like this house. What about you, Rias?"

"I complained about some things, but it's a good house. I can live quietly in a place like this."

"I see. Then I guess we'll take this house."

"Are you going to decide that easily? Don't you want to look at some other houses? Don't you like swimming pools? I have some similar ones that have a pool."

"I don't make a point of having one at home. People who have pools at home always say they don't use them, and the maintenance is too expensive."

"Well..." Edna smiled. She had no way to argue against that. I then sighed and walked out of the room. We walked down the stairs and arrived downstairs, and I took one last look around.

It's a nice house. We need to decorate it in the best way possible. Rias will help me with that.

"Okay, is it settled then? If so, you can go to the realtor tomorrow to sign the papers."

"Okay, I'll go there tomorrow." After that, we left the house and walked together for a while. Edna then got into her car and said goodbye to us. I looked at Rias and asked again if she had liked the house.

She again talked about the lack of a downstairs bathroom and the distance between the kitchen and the dining room.

I agree with her about the bathroom, although I said it is not a problem. I don't think it is a problem about the dining room being far from the kitchen.

She complained about it, but she liked the house.

But I told her we wouldn't live in this house forever. We'll probably move in at some point. And when we do, it will be in a house a thousand times bigger than this one.

"I just need to build a fortune..."

"Hm?"

"It's nothing. I was thinking out loud."

Building a fortune will be pretty complicated, won't it?

####

Arriving the next day, I felt pretty excited to sign the papers and move in. I was finally going to live in a decent house again after so long.

That house is even better than the house I lived in with my mother.

"Are you already going to the realtor?"

"Yes. But I will need to do something else besides that."

"Something?"

"Yes, I need to go to a Cybercafe to make an online purchase."

"A purchase?"

"Yes, I need to buy some manga or novel."

"Hm? But why? Do you like that kind of thing? I don't remember seeing anything like that around here before."

"I can't talk to you about that at the moment."

"I understand... But hurry back; I don't like being alone in this place."

"Okay, okay," I left the house, getting on my bike to pedal toward the city center. I was going to the same cyber cafe since it was the only one I knew and one of the most famous in the area.

You may be wondering why I am going there to buy a new manga or novel, but the answer is simple: The system asked me to do this again. I received a new mission. I must buy a new manga/novel to add to my storage.

This is the only mission I received today; I had not received any main mission.

And speaking of the previous main mission, I had not completed it since I had not moved. Maybe a new mission will appear when I move.

"Okay, I'll leave my bike here and go inside." I left my bike near the entrance and entered the Cybercafe. I sat at one of the computers and ordered something to eat while surfing the internet.

I logged on to the same site I had used last time. I would pay when the products arrived, just as I had when I first purchased them.

"Speaking of which, I could get a new credit card now that I have paid off my debt." I browsed the site for a while and searched for some mangas or novels.

And after looking a bit more, I found a work called "Fate."

It was a manga adapted from a game, a visual novel. I saw some images of the work and found it very interesting, but it didn't seem to have any characters or items that would help me.

"Maybe one of those people with powers... "Servants" will help me with something, but..." I have to think about this a little more.
