Chapter 122: Moonlight's Inheritance
Chapter 122: Moonlight's Inheritance
Anya and Maple stopped playing when they heard me scream. But as soon as they saw me, they immediately abandoned their game and approached me.
"Finally you are awake after a full week of your coma! Who would have thought you would rest that long after the battle!" Maple said.
"The dragon power that father has given you stepfather allowed you to remain safe and healthy even though you are still unconscious. The other magicians also helped with your recovery," Anya said to me.
I scratch my head in confusion. So I have missed a week of my life after I fell to a short coma?
"Can someone explain what happened to my house?! This is not something I have heard of!"
Before Anya and Maple can say anything, Rena opened the door carrying a tray of food. She was surprised when she saw me standing already but she quickly calmed down.
"Looks like you have regained back the energy to move around Kazuma. How are your wounds?" Rena asked.
"My body still felt sore but it was not that bad compared when I am still fighting. Anyway, can I ask who changed my house to some sort of building? No one informed me!"
Rena smiled and pointed on Yaya who was licking some ice cream while hugging her teddy bear. She was not aware at first but Rena pointed at her, Yaya finally saw me. She suddenly looked fearful when she saw me with the others. I know why she is afraid because she renovated my house without any kind of permission from me. Rena noticed Yaya's behavior and looked at the direction that Yaya is looking at. As soon as she saw us, she nodded as she understood.
"No wonder you are so afraid, the owner of the house you renovated already awakened. Alright, alright, stop hiding behind me, just let me do the talking alright. You helpless woman... I don't know what to do with you, " Rena said as she shook her head in dismay.
Yaya is still hiding on Rena's back when we approached them. She is very guilty. I put my hands on my waist and glare at her to give me some explanation. But the one who started talking is Rena who pushed her glasses up to the bridge of her nose.
"Yes, that is right. This woman did not even ask me to renovate my house! I demand some explanation! I was just asleep for how long it was and when I wake up, everything already changed!"
"Alright, Kazuma. Don't get too angry at Yaya, it's also my fault too for not informing you and besides, I can't say anything to you at all because you are still in a coma."

"Seriously?! Don't I have anything to say about this? I just wanted to at least have a relaxing normal house to live my life without dragging the matters of magic back with me. And now my whole house is converted to this?!"
"Ah, don't worry about it too much. This place is just existing in another dimension and the other dimension version of your house is the one demolished and rebuilt into this ground. The real version of your house is still intact and good. You don't have to worry about it," Rena explained.
"What? Damn, why you didn't say so earlier? I wouldn't have gotten angry if this was explained first!" I facepalmed myself.
"Well, you just started to lash out and did not listen to any explanation so how can I say it?" Yaya said as she still hides behind Rena.
While we are still talking, Moonlight and Titan arrived and looked confused when they saw the spectacle in our situation.
"Is something happening guys? Why are you all here?"
"Moonlight? Godou? Why the sudden visit?" Rena asked.
"We heard that Kazuma is now awake and already recovered from his wounds so we decided to visit. And just as usual, he is back to his feet and already stirring up trouble!" Godou said.
"Ugh, you guys are not helping," I sighed.
"Oh hey, I also remembered one thing too. It involved Moonlight's father which made us convert this place to this."
Moonlight frowned when she heard this. " My father? What does that mean? How come I didn't know this? Not even informing me?"
"We didn't do that because it's a personal reason for your father and you are still under recovery status after the battle in the Phantasmal World. Your father didn't want to stress you out while you are still recovering from your wounds," Yaya explained.
Moonlight's eyebrows raised as she heard this. "What is this all about? Why can't you say it to me?"
"Ugh, this is a pain, but I had to say it. I am sorry Moonlight, your father passed away last month while you are still on the ruins. According to the doctors, he succumbed to his illness after fighting it for how many years. Even healing magic no longer can hold on for his life. He just gave the will to the people visiting him that time and it was a coincidence that it was us."
Moonlight stopped as she heard about this. Yaya pulled me away and whispered some info to my ear.
"You see Kazuma, according to the will of Moonlight's father, he just discovered a place where mana and magical energy were abundant. He said that he doesn't want this place to go to waste so he decided to use the other dimension of this place to avoid trouble with the owner. He gave us the coordinates and found out that it was your place. Due to that decision, the alternate version of your house right now should be converted into a Magician Society building as part of his last will. We can't just disobey what her father said in his will so we have no choice but to convert it to a building that you are seeing now. Also, he stated that Moonlight should be the one who will inherit all of his riches and properties including this place," Rena explained further.
Yaya and Godou pulled me to the side and started so that Rena and Moonlight can discuss what was happening.
"Moonlight must have been shocked by what the revelation was about. I mean, even I was surprised to hear that her father already passed away.
"Is she very close to her father for her father is giving out his all to just give Moonlight something extravagant like this."
"He is very close to Moonlight. Since Moonlight's mother did not care for her at all, most of the parental care that Moonlight receives came from her father. Even Moonlight's magic skill that changes the bamboo sword into a real sword is a magic skill that her father passed down to her. You could say that Moonlight is a papa's girl."
I have seen Moonlight's magic before and it was indeed involving with the bamboo sword she was carrying around on her back. I also heard about Moonlight circumstances before. Her mother is someone who only views her daughter as trash after seeing that she can't easily achieve what her brother is capable of doing so easily. Her family's circumstances were quite complicated that I never knew the real story behind it.
"So you are not the one who caused this house of mine to turn into an extravagant skyscraper then?"
"No way! I don't have the money to burn just so I can renovate a place into something like this! And besides, I am already comfy with a house that I made last time. Why would I change the nice layout of my house into something like this then?"
She has a point. Only rich families can do whatever they wanted to fulfill whatever they want. And from what I can see, Yaya is not one of those people with money to burn. I took a glance at Moonlight and Rena talking and saw her crying while Rena seems to be consoling her loss. Looks like everything is legit news and not some alibi that Yaya got to cover her troublesome act.
Anya and Maple approached me as they were left out of the events. "Umm, just what is going on?"
"Moonlight's father passed away last month," Yaya said.
The two were taken aback hearing this so they decided to just back off at the moment because it's not something that they can even help with. They can only console Moonlight for her loss.
"Anyway, can someone tell me where are my items located right now? With this house-I mean, building, it is hard to know which place they put all my precious stash."
"Your things are intact on the fifth floor. You don't have to worry about it too much. We didn't disturb and sell a few of your things. Nothing is missing at all. On the other hand, all your other things are still available in the real world like furniture and appliances. You don't have to worry about it too much." Yaya said.
"Can anyone tell me what is going on? I know that Moonlight's father converted my house into a Magician Society building but what is the purpose of this society thingie?"
Rena answered this. "The Magician Society is an organization of magicians in Tokyo. The chairman of the Magician Society was the father of Moonlight but after he died, Moonlight is the one who will be succeeding in his position. The Magicians Society acts as the main place where magicians can come and go as they please and ask for information and job requests. In short, it was like a guild in games. A place where you can buy, sell and find artifacts, magic, information, and anything related to magic. It would be wise to say that this place is now the second place most visited by magicians though it still can't beat Oracle's place and the Council of Magicians."
