Chapter 39 {New House, New Reveals}

Start from the beginning
                                    

Amber...right, that was her name. Noted. Anyway, we all were looking around and right near the entrance, there was a grand staircase. Damn, if this place doesn't remind me of home, I don't know what does...and by the looks of everyone else, I could tell they feel the same way.

"Hmm? But doesn't this house fulfil all your requests?" Amber tilted her head. "This mansion is well-affordable and right underneath your budget," she glanced at her clipboard. "Not to mention as an adventurer, the large garden and maze would be the perfect place for outdoor training"

"True." Kathryn sighed. "But fifteen bedrooms and bathrooms? With five kitchens and three living rooms?" She furrowed her brows. "Aren't that exceeding our request of ten bedrooms and five bathrooms with the one kitchen?"

"Why yes but there's no harm having extra rooms." Amber smiled. Like it isn't a problem...

"Yes Miss Amber but maintaining them would be quite difficult," Erina sighed, leaning against her palm. I think she would know best, being a maid and all. "And as you just mention, we are adventurers meaning we'll have less time to maintain such a large mansion"

Amber slumped a bit, "oh...I see." While Erina only gave the female agent an apologetic smile. "Yes, I hope you understand"

Avelyn nodded to her statement, "plus while a large garden is great but it'll need a lot of maintenance much less a whole maze..." The brunette sweatdropped.

"....we could get lost easily..." I heard Lily mumbled. I also agreed with her, knowing my terrible sense of direction.

Amber, the selling agent, could see we were dissatisfied with the first she had shown us. "Oh...but we still have two more houses," she tried to keep a bright smile. "I'm sure one of them would catch your eye"

I hope so...

"Is that a pool?!" Roselyn had gasped once we entered the second house

"Is that a pool?!" Roselyn had gasped once we entered the second house. I was also gawking at the sight of the large pool. Dang, this place really looks kinda modern.

"This is one of the few designed houses we got around here," Amber explained. "It got ten bedrooms as you requested but there are six bathrooms instead. Although, this house has a pretty large living space including a patio, a swimming pool and a large kitchen." She showed us the nearby kitchen.

"This is closer to our requests," Kathryn hummed, looking around.

"And the garden?" Avelyn frowned, noticing that most of the yard was sealed with concrete tiles. There wasn't much green grass nor trees like she wanted. Shame.

Amber also had noticed and looked at her apologetic, "unfortunately due to having a pool, most of the yard had been covered in concrete tiles so there isn't much of a garden."

I sighed at the look of disappointment on her face. She was really hoping for a garden. "This house is beautiful....but..." I trailed off. How do I say it?
