Chapter 23: Day Break (3)
~Silva POV~
Since I accepted the job, I decided to wait till it was nighttime to go ahead and begin my attempt at infiltrating the Mansion instead of going during the day as I took a closer look at his mansion.
Everlue Mansion is a large residence owned by Everlue. Everlue Mansion is located in Shirotsume Town, seemingly residing a bit out of the small city's built-up area.
Surrounding the palace is a series of slender trees sitting casually on the grass, while behind it a small lake and a massive rocky formation are visible.
The only time I took any action during the day I began to maneuver around his mansion looking around carefully finding any Surveillance Lacrima using my
I did it all in the guise of doing my exercise of daily quest getting another bonus +3 Stats carefully examining the manor down to the littlest details with Mavis investigating inside because of her unique nature.
It's times like these it's great to have an undetectable ghost like Mavis helping me out of her own concern for me.
Maybe my LUCK stats are helping me out just by meeting her first at times or unlucky I got caught…
Whatever the case maybe I took careful notes of the exterior of the building as I examines them carefully finding any Surveillance Lacrimas for me to spot.
Everlue Mansion is a large and compact building constructed under a rigorous symmetry: it seems to consist of a central section, counting at least three floors, topped by a pitched tiled roof, with three protruding structures, possessing similar roofs, sprouting from both its sides on the top balcony, delimited by railings, which is formed on top of the two identical wings flanking the main structure.
The two sections of such a large balcony are connected by a linking bridge sitting on the back of the main section's roof, and each sports a pair of towers with pointed tiled roofs, placed in correspondence to its outer edges, for a total of four towers.
The building's walls are all crowded with elongated windows, which are rectangular on the wings and on the towers, but sport arched tops in the central part; the wings also sport smaller, square windows on the ground floor's walls. The entrance is located on the facade, in the central part, under eight windows split over two floors, which are topped by the pyramid-shaped section created by the pitched roof, intricately decorated.
The whole building is surrounded by a square fence, composed of cement topped by a metal railing, and is given access to by an imposing, square gate located on the front, connected to the fence at its sides by stone hinges topped by ornamental spheres, which is intricately decorated, sporting reinforced bolted sections which, when the gate is closed, form an 'X', and a curious pattern reminiscent of snakeskin.
The fence encloses a small lawn, and outside it is surrounded by a square stone road, connected on the front to the large pathway leading to the main entrance, and with its edges adorned by tidy round bushes.
Using Mastema I fly around to the ceiling during the night as I began to check my Status and place my stat points into what I would need them to be.
Placing them to where I would need them the most in the incoming mission ahead, I would need some STR for this along with AGI, but a hint of LUCK is needed for this to work. Maybe other stats would be an important investment too.
After debating which ones I would need I decided to go with this route for my stats. Oh, right I should change my title for my other one while I'm at it.
Status.

Adding them the reason I placed some stats on those 4 is mostly because I should have better odds in a prolonged fight and if the need arises then I have my Status Recovery at the ready to instantly recover.
Having time, I made sure to be prepared for any possibilities since I'm against some serious foes this time that could provide me the right means to get stronger with difficulty.

"Hoot!"
"Hooo…!"
Landing on top of the roof I saw Mavis come out as I landed as she gives me a report, "Mavis the spy reporting to duty!"
Rolling my eyes I couldn't help but smirk as I talked to Mavis about her report during the day, she searched the interior of the mansion, "Alright then spy Vermillion what can I expect inside the Mansion?"
She began to explain to me through the window that there are plenty of Surveillance Lacrima inside thanking her for looking, "Thanks for helping me out Mavis. You know you didn't have to help me you know?"
She merely puffs her cheeks as she has a pouting expression on her face at me seemingly offending her, "I know! But at the very least you could be a bit more appreciative for the help you know."
Nodding at this I thanked her for the help as I get close to the window door entrance, "Your right. You have my thanks for helping me out. Thank you."
She seemed to smile with a nod accepting my apology. Before doing anything, I took a peek through the window using
Where is it?
Looking more intently my eyes landed on the Surveillance Lacrima crystal adorned by what looks like a small wolf's pelt causing me to smirk, "Perfect. Now to move it slightly…"
*Woosh*
*Shiii*
I stealthily hid myself with the wolf's cloth to cover myself up as Mavis smiles at my approach at this, "At least you seem to be cautious good. There are more lying inside but not enough to dissuade you from taking the Day Break book."
I gave a curt nod agreeing as I use one of my Mastema feathers to cut the lift of the latch entering inside the window door to what looks like a storage room present right below the main structure's roof, possessing a coffered ceiling, and packed full of crates, barrels, and sacks, with two shelves sitting against two opposite walls.
With the Surveillance Lacrima covered using a nearby cloth I began to look around the room carefully seeing all assortments lying around wondering what a creep like Everlue would want with these items like the cartoon skull.
Taking out my Video Lacrima I began to play the recording button using my Magic and tying it around my neck as Mavis looks at me curiously as I didn't explain to her my goal to expose Everlue while I read the info of my target using
But it's also to give me cause to defend as I recall he did kill a wizard from a different guild in the main canon adding the fact I report this to the Guild or Rune Knights he won't have much to run after this.
Although I explained to Mavis my
He confirmed that much in the canon story.
Moving along I soon find myself exiting the room I was into the main hall sports a mezzanine which give several doors, sporting railings on its edges and supporting square pillars which intersect them and reach up to the ceiling.
The walls, on the lower part, sport intricate decorations, and the floor, partially covered by a large, furry carpet, consists of massive square tiles – wait what's that sound?
Pausing a bit I listened more carefully as did Mavis we both paused listening to the sounds of foot steps...
Oh god!!
It's the ugly bitches!!!
*Gm*
*Gm*
*Gm*
*Gm*
*Gluk*
*Kabong*
Stepping back quickly I soon see four ugly maids along with the current appearance of Virgo as she wears a typical maid outfit, consisting of a black undercoat and a white, frilled-trim apron, and white knee-length socks with black Mary Jane shoes. Whilst she was with Everlue, she was of extremely tall stature and overweight with a brutish face and two ponytails.
Oh god...
I...
I think I'm going to be sick...
In the anime or manga, it was dumb but realistically with others just why...
Mavis recollided trying to gouge out her eyes seeing the horror first hand, "The horror! The horror!! Can't gouge them out fast enough!!"
What in God, name did their parents fucked to get such grotesque-looking girls like them.
I mean in the anime and manga they all had ugly expressions but in reality…
Why God?
Just why do you create the things you do?!!!
Why do they exist to plague my eyes?!!
Virgo soon took command as I already activated my Skill to deal with this issue taking a moment of
Immediately on instinct, I used my
*WOOOSH*
"AYEEEEEEE!!!!"
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF MASTERRRRR!!!!!"
Sending them up flying all of them away using the shockwave force of my
Mavis soon recovers as she slowly replies pointing the direction to where the library is located as she follows closely to me, "I… okay to be honest with you I would've done the same exact thing you did with those girls. They'll be fine… probably. But let's worry about that and get the book to leave."
Right.
I think I just may have overdone it a bit as I couldn't help but question their safety thinking of going overboard there, "Do you think they are fine? I mean I did overreact a bit much with I just did…"
At this Mavis waves off my concerns saying they would be fine because of the Magic they used giving me reassurance, "Nah. They're fine considering they use Diver Magic. Once they land on the ground it's like swimming just… it's going to be a very deep dive."
Oh, okay…
Now I feel at least a bit better about my actions hopefully…
Regardless though after all the effort I did to play this smart, I got my attention regardless because of what I saw in front of me overreacting.
Note to self-train on my emotions better is a requirement.
Don't need to repeat that mess again but returning to the matter at hand it seems like I'll have to play this carefully now.
