Versatile: Alternate World Chapter 120
Advertisement
A car stops in front of Manato's house. This isn't Manato's car and this is not the property from someone who knew Manato too. They don't even know Manato; in fact, they are not even an acquaintance of him or even a slight connection with them are nonexistent so who are they, and why are they stopping in front of Manato's house?
Inside the car is a guy wearing formal clothes like a business-oriented man though he looks kind of more like a geek. Beside him is a girl who is holding a marker and a sketchbook. Although she is not wearing glasses like the geeky guy, anyone can see the similarities in their faces which is normal since the two of them are siblings.
"Sis, are you okay right now? Does your body no longer ache like usual?"
The girl beside smile and took her sketchbook, flipping through the pages before showing the "I am Okay" words to him.
"Well, that is good. We just needed to persuade the owner of this house to relinquish the ownership of the house in exchange of paying double the amount he or she paid it for. We can't afford to delay your recovery and this house is the ideal spot for your rapid recovery."
The girl looked worried and she started started scribbling on her sketchbook.
[What if the owner refuse?]
The geeky guy shook his head and smiled as he pat her head.
"I will keep doing an offer to make sure he do so. I will do everything to cure you on your illness and even if I lose a lot of money, as long as you recover, I am happy."
She smiled lightly though she still looks worried.
After their conversation, the geeky guy went outside of the car and took out the wheelchair from the back compartment of the car and helped the girl went outside the car. After that, he fix the way his suit looks before hitting the doorbell of the mansion...

...
I was about to go out of the mansion to test out the effects of the passives when the doorbell rang. I am not expecting any kind of visitors and no one from my acquaintances know this place yet so its also impossible.
Opening the front door, a geeky man is currently standing outside the door and behind him is someone who is sitting in a wheelchair. I am not sure who they are and this is the first time I have seen them too as they are not someone I know or meet in the past timeline.
"Hello, young man. Are you the resident of this mansion? Can you fetch me the owner of this place?"
Although I am confused, I answered him. " I am the owner of this mansion. What can I do for you?"
"Oh? You are the owner of this place?"
"Yeah, I bought it."
"Well, in that case, this will be much easier. I am Tachibana Suhei and the one in the wheelchair is my sister Pandora. I wanted to buy this mansion from you, I will double the amount you used to buy this place, how about that? My offer is good enough and you won't even suffer losses. In fact, I will also pay all of the expenses you spent for this mansion too."
Relinquish the mansion's ownership? Although his offer is very tempting, I am not in dire need of money and I still have too much money I still haven't spent and converted into japanese yen.
"No. I bought this place and I refuse to move. I like this place and I refuse to vacate this place."
This place is a good place for me and I am sure the siblings would also refuse to also move. The position of the house is also a potential post for mana gathering once I can stabilize my mana flow. Aside from that, it is surrounded in nature, allowing me to easily synchronize with nature stabilization in thr future. Relinquishing this place in exchange for money is a big loss for me and I would be fool to let this place go.

"Huh? Is there something wrong with my offer? I will add more if you want."
"Money is not an issue actually. I have more money than I can spend so I don't think I am in need of too much money. I just refuse to vacate this place."
"Can you please reconsider? I desperately need to do so."
I frowned when I heard this. This place is indeed bought before in the past but I don't remember anyone coveting this place that much like this guy.
"Is there any reason I need to know why you wanted this place so badly? I might reconsider if I hear your reason."
"Alright. My sister is in the middle of recuperating from her disease that just cured her body from it. The problem is that she is not able to recuperate properly on places in the city. Her illness might return if nothing is done to it. The doctor recommended this place as one of the possible locations I can cure my sister and because the other places are too far for us, we have no choice but to make sure that we can get this place for us to use as her house as she was recuperating."
I look into the girl in the wheelchair named Pandora. I can tell the similarities of the two but Pandora has a very bright white hair color while Suhei has a darkish grey. She is quite pretty but her skin is so pale that I can immediately tell it is not her natural color. She looks like she has an albinism but she seems to be different from that condition.
"She can't walk?"
"Yes. Before she was even diagnosed from her illness, she cannot walk and she spent most of her time in her wheelchair. Also, she is a mute. She can understand what we are saying and can hear us clearly but she can't speak."
I tried probing her mana circuits in her body and noticed that most of it is currently not in a good shape. And seeing that her brother is currently desperately trying to find her sister a good house fo her to recuperate, he is even willing to pay lots of money to buy this mansion from me. Although I pity her, I am not that soft. Which is why, I decided to come up a small decision.
"I have an offer for you and maybe we might both agree with this. What do you say, want to hear me out?"
