City of Backstreet Nymphs - Chapter 15



15 – 015 – Nymph Oinoi # 15

015 – Nymph Oinoi # 15

Weapons were important to the Awoken who ran through the field.

Good weapons lead to good results.

It is also useful for protecting one’s own life, so there is no shortage of emphasis on “A good weapon”.

Of course, Awoken equipment was expensive, and weapons were more expensive.

A high-temperature superconductor blade that can be used from S-class.

I heard how much this cost….

Anyway.

I was also saving up money to customize a nice weapon in case I hit C-rank one day.

Ten million won.

It may be money that can be called “Barely?” To someone, but to me it was a lot of money.

However, when I thought about using this money to buy a house, I remembered the time I had been saving and saving until now, and it felt very wasteful.

“Mheuh, Oinoi means moving to a house with a pond… ! I remember earlier moving caves with my sisters in the forest depending on the season…. It is to be expected… !”

– Zujiz.

!

However, everyone seemed to be expecting this ‘new house’.

Yes, it’s all about eating and living.

Aren’t you trying to get a good weapon to live in a nice house and eat good food?

If I had to prioritize things, I’d put the house first before the weapon.

“But can I buy a house with 10 million won?”

I didn’t know much about the real estate market.

To find a house in the metropolitan area, you have to have a basic amount of several hundred million – just common sense knowledge.

Shall we visit the relay office first?

The next day after time has passed with that feeling.

I took Oinoi to visit the brokerage office with the highest rating in the area.

“This Oinoi, I am curious about what they are doing here… !”

Ohinoi seemed to be curious about what the licensed brokerage office was doing. Soon, a middle-aged woman who appeared to be the office manager poured out a glass of juice and handed it to Oinoi.

“So, you are looking for a house in this area?”

“Ah… ! That this orange juice…. It is very delicious… ! Indeed, this was a nymph-friendly place that served juice… !”

To Oinoi, the authorized brokerage office seems to have become a vending machine with orange juice. I lightly explained to Oinoi.

“This is a place where land is bought and sold.”

“I wonder what it means to buy and sell land… ! Buying and selling land…. The owner of the land is only one great mother of the earth… !”

I asked the head of the office with the chattering Oinoi next to me.

“Could I get a house with a yard? It would be nice to have a house with a pond nearby and a wide open space. It’s okay if it’s not necessarily downtown, but slightly outskirts.”

“I know of a few such properties. How much money have you been looking for?”

To the owner’s kind question, I replied earnestly, “It’s 10 million won.” Then, a little embarrassment came over the president’s expression, which had been calm until just now.

“Looking for a house with a vacant lot by the pond for 10 million won? Hmm….”

The atmosphere becomes subtle in many ways.

Then Oi Noi rummaged through her pockets.

Then he held out a 500 won coin that he probably picked up somewhere under the bed or on the floor of my room.

“This oi-noi also has money… ! He wonders how much land can be bought with this big shiny coin… !”

Is there any land that can be obtained for 500 won?

When I thought about that, Oinoi laughed.

“If you buy this Oinoi, that land…. He would gather a bunch of nymph sisters, build a very nymph-friendly tent, and sing… !”

Anyway.

When Oinoi was chattering about various things, the boss who looked like a generous lady looked at Oinoi and asked.

“Who is this friend? Younger sister?”

“This is Oinoi. It’s a nymph. Do you know the elf? It’s a similar family….”

“The Oinoi are a much more fundamental, ancient, and authentic race than the long-eared fairies like elves… ! It’s different from exotic species like elves… !”

I quickly explained everything from how Oinoi and I met to finding a new home. Hearing the story, the boss seemed very moved.

“Oh my God, there are so many sincere young people. I hope my sons learn something. Bachelor, did you say Mr. Ildo? Did you get the support for the castaways?”

“What is that?”

“This is a subsidy that can be applied for by the family that takes care of the drifters…. In the case of housing, you can receive support of about 10 million won. You can also get a loan. Bachelor, if you don’t find the benefits yourself, you lose money.”

Was there such a thing?

I didn’t know because the laws change so quickly these days.

Soon the lady added her words.

“Then, if we set a budget of around 20 million won, the number of houses we can show will increase. Also, let’s assume that we are getting a loan and look at the top of that.”

The lady opened the tablet PC and showed me a picture.

“Still, even if you use a bachelor or loan, you will have to give up some of the options you want. First of all, they are for sale here, from nearby rural areas.”

Most of the houses shown in the photos were old and abandoned.

Rural areas deteriorated due to low birth rate and urbanization centered on the metropolitan area.

It seemed that most of them were not sold after the owner, who was living there, died of old age, and the price continued to go down.

All of them were very old houses and did not look suitable for living.

“Would you like to go there yourself? I can give you a ride. It would be much better to go and see it in person than to see it in pictures, right?”

What a kind boss.

There was a reason why the office’s star rating was high and Oinoi wasn’t vigilant.

With that feeling, I drove around the remote countryside in the boss’s car all morning and afternoon. And the conclusion I felt was that the money I worked hard to collect was very small.

It was a lot of hard-earned money, but you can’t even buy a house with this money!

“This oinoi… ! Actually, there is no need for a pond… ! It’s okay if only cold water comes out of the bathroom faucet… !”

Even Oinoi, who doesn’t have much of a concept of money, seemed to have vaguely noticed that I had very little money.

“Ah… ! In fact, it’s okay to have a house where cold water doesn’t come out of the bathroom faucet… ! Even if warm water comes out, this oinoi is better than digging through trash cans in the alley… !”

Well, compared to life on the street, something is lacking….

Anyway, it seemed appropriate to end the search for a house with this.

Wouldn’t it be right to try again after spending a few more months in a cramped studio and earning money by clearing C-class cracks?

However, it was clear that raising two animals in a cramped place and taking care of Ohinoi was also wrong in the eyes of others.

– To put a new race of nymphs in such a narrow and cramped place! Nymphs are disgusting! Seize consignor qualifications!

People may criticize and take Oinoi to a spacious and luxurious house like Seo Ye-rim’s house. Of course, that might be better for Oinoi, but….

Anyway, it was a time when I was deeply troubled in many ways.

“Bachelor, I thought the last house left one. Would you like to check it out? But it’s not a house I’d recommend…. There is no pond, but there is a well in the yard of the house….”

The boss, who patiently guided us, said something in a quiet yet slightly embarrassed voice.

The last house left.

# # #

It was a Western-style house, despite what the lady said in an embarrassing voice.

The yard was spacious and it wasn’t too far from the city center.

It was creepy that there was an abandoned well in the yard, but Oinoi liked it.

“The well… ! It’s a nymph-friendly place… ! This Oinoi, I’ve seen many places, but this place is the best among the places I’ve seen today… !”

The well seemed dry, but Oinoi jumped up and down excitedly in many ways.

I left the cucumber and looked at the bushes in the yard.

It was in good condition, but it must have been abandoned for a long time, with spider webs hanging here and there and weeds growing randomly.

The interior of the two rooms with bathrooms needs to be renovated in many ways.

However, it was the best thing I saw today.

“Here, it used to be 120 million. It hasn’t been sold for 10 years already, so the price keeps going down. Even if it sells, people come back soon. A ghost appears. Everyone goes through bad things….”

A ghost?

Is there such a thing in the world?

Well, in a world where there are nymphs and elves, I wondered if there was a law saying that ghosts shouldn’t appear….

I was very scared.

What a haunted house!

“Bachelor, honestly, I didn’t want to introduce you to this house. Several people have already been injured…. The good shaman fainted…. After all, I’m not buying this house….”

I could feel the sincerity of the realtor.

In many ways, this lady is a pro at home and land.

If she says she’s not an aunt, it’s probably not true.

However, Oinoi was very happy.

“I want to show this house to Kengkengi and Angangi… ! There is a lot of soil, a lot of trees, and a bar where the bushes are growing well…. It is a friendly place for squirrels and emperor ants… !”

Is it the intuition of a licensed real estate agent?

Is it the sense of Oinoi?

Which of the two should I believe?

Of course, the worries were not long.

“That boss, if you don’t mind rudeness, can I stay here for the day?”

I decided to trust my experience.

Spending the night in this haunted house!
