Synopsis
Not everyone can afford a new house, made just for them. Some have to settle for pre-owned homes, and those usually have problems the formers owners have learned to live with but can come as a surprise. Bad smells, leaking pipes, haunting forces roaming its rooms…In the olden days, burning the house down handily solved all these problems, as the land was usually worth far more than the house. However, in the modern age, those that live in closely built bedroom communities, townhouses, dorms, condos, and apartments do not have that option! These stigmatized properties are either sold or rented for cheap—but with punishing early cancellation clauses—to ignorant schmucks, or have their property values drop like a rock as they become difficult to unload.That's what happened to our boy Loren, a Flame mage who just wants to be accepted into an internship so he can get the credits he needs to test for his Alchemical-Pharmacist license. Instead, he has to deal with the ghost haunting his new lease.Enter Happy Homes, a haunted house investment company! Buy cheap, exorcise, rent or sell at a profit! At least, that's the plan. They don't normally do this sort of thing 'Saturday night comedians opening an extermination business' kind of thing since it sort of keeps them from making that sweet, sweet profit, but his totally platonic childhood friend Harmony, a Magical Girl working for the company, has an idea...
