Too Poor to Move Out of the Haunted House

The main story is complete! Bonus chapters are being updated~ I'll write a special bonus chapter after the Spring Festival.

Hands have sprouted beneath Maria's bed, a child lives in Maria's closet, and sometimes Maria's microwave adds an eyeball to the milk it heats.

But it's a good house.

--Because the rent is only one-fifth of the market rate.

Maria grabs the "long-neck" from the closet and shoves it into her suitcase. "Do you think I live in a haunted house because I like it? I live here because I'm broke, so stop trying to exorcise it!"

"It's only a Grade Three! Apart from lowering the rent, it hasn't done anything bad!" Maria tries to break through the sorcerer's blockade and rescue the "hand" from under the bed.

This is the story of a poor, unfortunate woman who's constantly forced to move because of jujutsu sorcerers and psychics, and is determined to buy a half-price mansion that won't get exorcised someday.

"If you're going to exorcise something, exorcise me, the broke one!" While the sorcerer is still cleaning up, Maria is already weeping as she packs her bags and calculates how much rent her part-time wages can cover.

Ghosts? Where are the ghosts?

They're all just (low-end) smart appliances. Calling them cursed spirits is going too far!

...The glaring poverty in this house is the scariest thing of all!

Seeing how easily Maria takes it, the others enter the apartment building, half believing her.

...The record was only two seconds.

"I'm done! My closet moved!"

"Aaaaaah! Wait, where is this elevator taking me?!"

"Gurgle, gurgle..." (passes out)

Watching them flee in panic, Maria plants her hands on her hips. "Honestly, I told you it wasn't that dangerous--"

She doesn't get to finish.

The narrow-eyed man with the weird bangs beside her claps his hands together and turns the "smart appliances" Maria collected into a ball, then stuffs it in his pocket.

--Hey, did you come here to stock up!? You weird-banged squinty-eyed guy!

A crossover of supernatural mysteries and jujutsu: a slow-burn collection of horror-comedy tales.

Simply put, it's a lighthearted adventure about a woman with no fear and no self-awareness, a human wish-granting machine who keeps taking bizarre part-time jobs, living in haunted houses, and getting into trouble as a result.

This story will go premium on Thursday, and some chapters may be locked.

A 10,000-word chapter will be posted that day~ Thanks so much for your support... (slowly kneels)
