a/n: idek why I had two unfinished part fours written but since no one reads this anyway, it doesn't need to be orderly so I'll just publish this and figure it out later.

"No, the real question is, how the hell did you exorcise one million daemons in a matter of minutes? One million!"
"I know right? Didn't I always tell you that I am absolutely, phenomenally awesome?"
"You're not answering the question! And besides, where are we even going?"
We had been walking along a deserted lane for a while now with Skyler on my tail about the same thing the whole time.
"Again, the mansion I already told you tons of times that I owned," I answered impatiently for the umpteenth time.
"There is no way you own that thing," Skyler said doubtfully.
"See, I have the keys," I said again, jiggling the ring of shiny silver, gold and jet black keys.
"That doesn't prove anything. I mean how do you have hundreds of acres of land with horses, a pond, a waterfall, and a humongous mansion surrounded by really elegant lush green forests?" That was him repeating my descriptions.
"Well the horses are probably gone now and the mansion, well, for the umpteenth time, I only left it because I couldn't afford to pay for the bills anymore. Electricity and water are surprisingly expensive but the interior should be pretty well taken care of... I left a golem in charge."
"A golem huh?" Skyler asked incredulously.
"Yeah. They don't need to eat or sleep; programmed and designed to work nonstop. This one is particularly attached to be so he doesn't need to be paid either."
"So in other words, you're basically exploiting labour."
"Kinda?"
"Senpai, you're a horrible person."
"If you say so.. Ah I think we're here."
We stopped in front of a gate covered all over in ivy. A tall mossy wall made of large rocks fitted carefully together stretched towards either side of it as far as the eye could see.
"How are we gonna open the gate?" Skyler asked.
"Oh, the ivy are conscious. They'll open for us," I said just as the ivy seemed to slither away and parted. The gate opened slowly in a grand looking way.
Welcome back, Master.
I smiled, "glad to be back."
Here are your bills. We totaled it for you.
A very large figure illuminated on the left gate and a small scanner somehow appeared on which I gently placed my small dagger.
Congratulations! You've finally paid for it.
"What's this? Sarcasm?"
We wouldn't dare master. Anyway, come on in:)
"The smiley face looks suspicious," Skyler commented.
"I agree," I chuckled as I skipped in through the gates.
Skyler looked unsure of whether to follow or not so I just let him be, confident that he'd make up his mind eventually.
