Became a Munchkin Skill Thief

Episode 42 Flower of Hardenhardt

At the time Bianca and Krache were eating.

At the meeting held in Hardenhardt, talk was coming and going.

“What is the condition of Krasch Valheim?”

Meeting room in Hardenhardt.

Asked the first Meliokan Hadenhartz, acting head of the household on behalf of her father, who was away for a while with the vassals gathered there.

“All right. The loss of the arm is the fault, but restoring the arm is something I wonder if it can be resolved somehow by inviting a priest from the Holy Kingdom.”

That part was a fortunate story.

This incident happened in their own territory.

If Valheim were to ask for responsibility, there would be nothing more difficult than that.

“Have you contacted the Holy Kingdom?”

“Yes, I have requested the High Priest class.”

“The money will be quite broken.”

Melliokan let out a sigh.

Spending is painful, but there is nothing good about colliding with Valheim.

“It is urgent, so please come quickly.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Then, let’s talk next. What do you guys think about Krashu Valheim’s defeat of the slaughter dog this time?”

I had to somehow solve the problem of Krashu’s condition and arm.

Although restoring an arm through a fuse would not be without a recovery period and cost, but it could be solved.

The real reason for their meeting today was none other than Krashu’s inaction in defeating the slaughter dog.

As a result of the investigation, the slaughter dog, Bergman, was originally an advanced expert.

In addition, it was concluded that his current weapon, which had grown even more as a servant of the world eroder, was an expert superlative.

Krasch was only 14 years old when he faced Bergman.

He was originally a half-penny in Balheim that even the gods did not pay attention to.

How did he defeat Bergman?

“Isn’t there a rumor recently?”

At that moment, one of the retainers mentioned a rumor that had recently spread.

Rumors about Krashu’s inaction that he showed against Anix in the Holy Land of Stars.

“As with this case, wouldn’t the power of Valheim’s blood belatedly manifest?”

“Do you guys think so too?”

When Meliokan asked a question, the vassals all responded in agreement.

“Good news for Hardenhartz.”

From noble mtl dot com

“That’s right. Isn’t it exactly the same blood as the famous swordsman, Charlotte Balheim? If that bloodline is expressed even now, it is certain that he will grow into a bigger person in the future.”

This was great news for Hardenhartz.

Krasu is engaged to Bianca.

If Krashu settles down in Valheim, the engagement relationship, Hardenhartz, will benefit as well.

“But Meliokan, Lady Bianca…….”

There’s just one thing on my mind here, Bianca.

Bianca is a cursed and rejected child.

Originally, Krashu was also a discard card in Valheim, so the engagement could be concluded.

But if he stopped being half-penny, there could be problems with the engagement.

“Mellokan, would you rather change your engagement target right now?”

“Change the target?”

“Yes, isn’t there Miss Jenica?”

Although she is two years older than Krashu, Jenika is also a woman with outstanding beauty.

Besides, when it comes to Bianca, her eyes go round and cause accidents, but other than that, it’s not very angular.

“Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for us to suddenly change our engagement partner?”

“Isn’t it a bigger problem if the engagement is broken like this? Valheim would rather welcome Lady Jenica than Lady Bianca.”

Because normal teeth are much better than cursed children.

“Will Jenica accept it?”

“I have to convince you.”

This is for Hardenhartz.

I had no choice but to say that I didn’t like Zenica.

“Not like that. Call Jennica. She needs to tell Bianca to come back too, so she calls.”

“Yes, I understand.”

In this way, the meeting in Hardenhartz ended without the two knowing.

＊ ＊ ＊

At that time, Krache was walking down the hallway with Bianca.

“Can you open your eyes now?”

“Yes, it looks good.”

Krashu glanced and it was clear that Bianca’s big natural eyes were finally starting to see properly.

It’s still swollen, but it will probably subside by evening.

“How about getting your emotions back?”

Krache asked subtly, wondering if Bianca would become like the White Ghost again.

“I don’t know. She felt it the first time she cried yesterday, but now she just does.”

Then Bianca showed an ambiguous reaction.

Her expression was expressionless, unlike her crying profusely yesterday.

Looking at this, people won’t be able to tell whether she has regained her feelings or not.

But this was a story that couldn’t be helped.

Having never used a muscle in her face in her life, she didn’t know how to make her expression.

“Then think about something that makes you angry.”

“What makes you angry?”

“Only you know that. Isn’t it common to get angry when someone takes something from you or when you feel resentful because you are worse than others?”

Hearing Krache’s words, Bianca pondered.

Then she pouted and her eyebrows moved slightly.

It was a slight change from his expressionless expression, but it was a great development.

“What were you thinking?”

When Bianca asked what was upsetting her, she turned to Krache.

“Krashu, who used to be friends with Darling-nim.”

“Why is that angry?”

“I don’t know.”

Strange guy.

“Then what makes you happy?”

It’s sad, because I went through it yesterday to my heart’s content.

Shouldn’t we also look into joy this time?

Bianca’s reaction was that unlike when she was worried about when she was angry, she surprisingly already knew her joy.

Then she took Krashu’s left hand and put it on top of her head.

She then raised the corners of her mouth, still looking awkward.

“I’m glad you like this.”

After looking at Bianca for a while, Krache casually stroked her hair.

Bianca’s still small head swayed from side to side following Krache’s hand.

Somehow, it was Krache who let out a laugh because he was tired.

Krache removed her hand from Bianca’s head and wrapped it around her cheek.

“If you are going to laugh, you have to laugh properly. Are you smiling if you just raise the corner of her mouth?”

“I am smiling.”

“Puck. The corners of her mouth should be raised this much, and her eyes should be like this.”

Krache ran her left hand around Bianca’s face.

The soft steamed bun-like texture was more addictive than I thought.

“Like this?”

However, the results that came out were ambiguous.

The corners of his mouth went up and his eyes closed, but he was still far from laughing.

“I need to practice facial expressions starting today.”

But if you do it someday, the day will come when you smile naturally.

As long as Bianca doesn’t end up with a hundred ghosts, she’s fine.

“Bianca.”

At that moment, a person appeared at the end of the hallway.

Pure white hair and a face similar to Bianca.

She was none other than Jenica.

And she was the culprit who terribly tormented Bianca.

At that moment, Bianca sneaked behind Krache’s back.

It was something Bianca wouldn’t do.

Because she didn’t have her feelings, her feelings of fear didn’t exist either.

But now that she has regained her feelings, it’s hard for Bianca to face Jenica.

Feeling that, Krache stood covering Bianca and looked at Jennica.

“Any business?”

Krashu asked a question, and Jenika looked in Krashu’s direction.

She looked at Krashu’s arm, flinched, and averted her gaze from there.

It was because the death of a knight who became a corpse not too long ago was left with trauma.

“…… Her brother asked her to come with Bianca.”

And then she glanced at Bianca, who was hiding behind Krache’s back.

When Bianca threw herself with the slaughter dog in place of Jenica that day, she was helpless.

I just stare blankly at Bianca as she falls.

After being like that for a long time, she belatedly regained her senses and came up the cliff.

In the process, her hands were sore, but her head was more confused than her pain.

Bianca saved herself.

Why?

She is the one who bullied her every day.

Why did she save herself like that?

Jenica’s lips were bitten.

The little kid saved himself.

That is also her older sister herself.

She herself couldn’t do anything in that situation, but Bianca acted more courageously than anyone else.

That fact made her feel deeply disgusted with herself.

Her lethargy strongly oppressed her, but it was her disgust that brought her back to her feet.

Bianca felt that if she died like this, she would not be able to accept herself.

So she then returned to Hardenharz to tell this, and she searched Mount Lokal with her knights.

Although Krache found and rescued her first, she spent the night crying in search of Bianca even in the middle of her snow.

But that is not an indulgence.

So neither Jenica nor she knew what to do with Bianca now.

Now she hated herself even more.

Even with her apology, she didn’t know if it was for Bianca or an exoneration for herself.

“…… My brother called me And Bianca, you too.”

Janika said that and turned around and walked away.

Bianca came out from behind Krashu only after she left her place as if she was running away.

Krashu looked at Zenica’s back.

In Bianca’s story before her return, Jennica apparently asked for forgiveness, not forgiveness.

And she just looked at her attitude, and it seemed that Jenika was starting to change, even in Krashu’s eyes.

“Bianca.”

Krasche said while watching Bianca sticking her head out in response to her call.

“Even if Jenika changes her attitude towards you, you don’t have to forgive her.”

Jenica can ask for her forgiveness, but it is Bianca’s job to forgive her.

Just because she asks for forgiveness doesn’t erase all the wrongs she’s done in the past.

Aware of that fact, Krache said to Bianca.

“So if you don’t like it, just ignore it and leave. I will take you home.”

If Bianca doesn’t like being in her Hardenhartz, she’ll take her, then go back to her Cheongsong Pavilion and that’s it.

Because Cheongsong Hall is also her home now.

Hearing Krache’s words, Bianca looked at him for a while.

She then raised the corners of her mouth with her two index fingers.

“What I feel right now is joy.”

After she said that, she moved on.

“I’ll be back.”

Krashu laughed as he watched her go hard with her short legs from behind her.

“You laugh better than you think.”

She didn’t seem to know that she was laughing even before she raised the corners of her mouth with her own hand.

“Ebel Ask, it is nearby.”

Bianca disappeared, and Krache called Ebel Ask.

Then a rat came up from her window.

The mouse without one eye was already dead a long time ago.

“Let’s borrow some ears.”

As Krache asked, the mouse immediately ran across the hallway.

Just talk nonsense.

Because I’ll show you what it’s like to be a half-hearted Valheim half-punch.
