Chapter 69 Home Sweet Home I
From the other side of the street Constantine managed to see the moment Andre together with Sophia, Anya and Malik were coming back from the North of the city.
"Andre!" He yelled to gain their attention and naturally, the big man yelled back with equal enthusiasm, no, he overpowered Constantine in this aspect!
"BOSS!"
"..." Constantine sighed, yet another way of addressing him. Sir, Mr, Boss, Master...
"We found a place that resembles what you're looking for, but the price oh... this girl." Andre began explaining the situation and it was only then that he and his wife noticed that there was someone else with him that they didn't know.
Raki.
Anya saw that Malik was glaring at Raki slightly, she pouted and elbowed the boy harshly on his ribs!
"HAAA!!"
"What's wrong, Malik?" They all asked him with Anya and Sophia both giggling.
"N-Nothing!"
...
"Hmmm anyway, She's Raki, a disciple of mine, she's going to be training with us." Constantine patted Raki's shoulder; concealing the worry he had for Malik's livelihood with this family.
"But she..." Andre saw Raki's appearance, she didn't look like mercenary material, those cars and eyepatch made her look tough but that's about it, if he were to join his thumb and index finger together, the circle in between would still be wider than Raki's muscles... and she's a fifteen years old girl.
He didn't count on the fact his hand is bigger than normal people's.
"You should never judge a book by its cover, the girl is tough even if she looks feeble, tell me what you found." The entire party entered Andre's house for their meeting.
"Would you like to have lunch?~" Sophia leaned forward in a rather bubbly mood and asked them.
"Don't worry, me and Zamira had breakfast already and we're still full, but you can prepare some for Raki, thank you, Sophia." Constantine waved his hand in dismissal while on the other side of the table they saw how Zamira's complexion gained a subtle blush.
"Ara... why are you blushing, Zamira?" Sophia wondered with a finger on her cheek, resisting the urge to giggle, those two disappear together and don't come until the next day, she'd be stupid not to know as she also happened to have some quality time with her husband.
Yes, things are going splendidly!
"It is a little hot in here that's all!" Zamira pouted and prepared to have lunch, contrary to Constantine who was full she felt 'sapped'!
'I'm sucking Master's milk next! I'll have him know how it feels!'
Alas, the idea she had of 'sucking milk' was not the same one he had...

"There is a property for sale that fits your descriptions, boss... there are many but they're all quite expensive in the middle of the town, this one, however, is the biggest yet also the cheapest." After everyone had their breakfast and some mild conversation, Andre decided to touch upon the main topic.
"And what's the catch?" The conqueror asked lazily, lengthy area, big property, cheap price... it wasn't his first rodeo.
"It is outside the town's murals... the area is extensive but it is not protected by the town's boundaries it is like a farm but with a small mansion in it, it is being sold since several profane cults had used it before to perform their activities having the owners, some nobles, move away to the capital as a result... it is selling for two thousand gold coins."
Andre explained and he didn't sound quite convinced while his wife and the rest of his family simply awaited Constantine's decision, by now they considered themselves his vassals, they'd go with him and support him however they could while praying to the goddess.
That was their new path.
"I see... we're getting it."
"Are you sure boss!? that's going to be dangerous, the property is out of the town's boundaries which means the scarred cult, bandits... we could be invaded by anyone before the town guards even reach us." He explained the detriment, if the other properties were not so expensive, he wouldn't even have considered proposing this to him.
"Watch me face danger, Andre... since when do we need guards? let's go, I want to settle this quickly we're going on an expedition afterwards." Constantine wasn't at all bothered by the property's conditions.
"Should we go!?" Sophia and Anya wanted to go and look at it as well, but Constantine and even Zamira shook their heads in refusal.
"I'm going..." Malik said, standing up front while the champion simply nodded with a smirk, if the boy wants to be brave, let him be.
"You can come, boy, you two stay since it is not secure." Standing up he led the entire entourage of himself, Zamira, Andre, Malik and Raki away. Only Sophia and Anya remained in dejection, Anya didn't think it was fair for Raki to go and not her, but their master's words were absolute.
"Understood, please be careful." The two bowed down in acceptance as the party departed with the destination bean this 'town's state agency' the establishment that regulated the ownership of properties in the town.

"So this is it, it is quite big indeed." Constantine judged, that the mansion was four stories big, more than what he had previously said, it looked wonderful in design but it was dirty and needed maintenance.
Overall, the structure looked better than most mansions and palaces he had seen in his previous world, mostly due to this one's advanced technology and perhaps even magic.
'Fitting of myself.'
[Just throw some more garbage and then it will be fitting for you]
'Oh shut up... we could throw some straw and horse shit, then it would be fitting for you.'
[Wanna fight?]
'Show me your human body if you have the balls.'
[I'm a female horse, I have no balls... but if I had, I'm sure they'd be way bigger than yours]
'Of course, you're a damn mountain-sized horse, if we think about proportions, I'm sure those balls would be bigger than your brain~'
[Bastard!]
'Not like you can calculate anything with your math skills~'
[I will kill you!]
'I beat a female in an argument? boy, I feel lucky today!'
