Chapter 53 The cheater

[ You’re shameless. ]

Krashu with an innocent face.

Seeing that, Crimson Garden briefly evaluated it.

I’m sorry, but I felt like I couldn’t get used to it either.

A long time ago, when we met, we had to pretend to be strangers when we joked with each other.

It was frustrating.

But I couldn’t help it.

Because they don’t know themselves at all.

Krashu knows very well that the memories of him in his head no longer exist in reality.

So while he felt uncertain, he also felt relieved at times.

At least considering the relationship with Lirina in front of me, Krashu was better this way.

‘The face is the same then and now.’

It was fine when I saw it in the store.

He was the one who made her feel uneasy for no reason after leaving her in front of her eyes.

I couldn’t help it.

She had a lot of things to do with her.

Receiving her question, Lirina’s eyes closed and then opened.

Then, rather belatedly, she realized that she had suddenly appeared.

Her eyes, which were half-closed as usual, showed a slight embarrassment belatedly.

“Oh, sorry. I’m Lirina, the lady-in-waiting of the Ygritte family. She gave Kami some food recently.”

At the word Kami, Krashu looked back at the Crimson Garden.

Her eyes are like, ‘Kkami? It suits you well.”

“I see. Cream always goes everywhere. I didn’t know that she was getting food and eating it. She seemed to take good care of the food, but did she grow up?”

“I gave it to you on my own, so please don’t scold me.”

“Because he is a smart guy. If she thinks she ate too much, that’s okay because she would have cut herself. Rather, thank you for taking care of me.”

Grumbling-

At that moment, a sound echoed from Krashu’s stomach.

Hearing the sound from the front, Lirina covered her mouth slightly.

She tried to hide her inadvertently leaking laughter.

When Krashu showed a puzzled reaction, Lirina quietly raised the basket.

“I didn’t touch the dessert at all. How is it? Would you like to eat it?”

Foods that would be thrown away anyway.

Today Aslan didn’t touch the dessert side at all, so it was left in the basket.

Seeing Lirina like that, Krashu smiled bitterly at her.

“I don’t think it’s rude to get me to eat after the cream.”

“Throwing away food is an example to nature. Rather, it is good and good. Kamido, ah, said cream. It’s a good thing for both Cream and its owner.”

Even now, what I am talking about is the flow of liquidation.

Even so, Krashu smiled apologetically.

“Then may I ask you a favor?”

If those who knew Krashu would have been shocked to see him now.

[ Huh, you really hit the iron plate in the face. Seeing that he deliberately starved himself in the morning, I wondered if he was going to die of starvation before taking my Buddha. Were you thinking of flirting with a woman? ]

And sure enough, the mockery of Crimson Garden stuck in my head.

She already knows everything about her circumstances, so why is she frantic about not being able to eat herself?

Krashu thought deeply, but soon realized.

It’s probably because I’ve been playing the role of an errand boy with a crow for the past few days.

But what can I do?

The reality is that in order for Krashu to become stronger, Crimson Garden has no choice but to help.

“I’ll sit next to you.”

And brazenness was Lirina’s monopoly over Krashu’s.

She didn’t pay much attention to Lirina when she first met him, and she sat down next to him.

Her feelings were refreshed through her encounter with her Crimson Garden in the past few days.

So naturally, she had a crush on Krashu, the owner of Crimson Garden, as a person.

Isn’t there a bad person among people who follow animals well?

Lirina opened her basket and took out the remaining cheesecake and black tea for her dessert.

“Alina’s food.”

And Krashu said as if he knew the food as soon as he saw it.

“Did you know this store?”

“Yes, it’s a shop I visit often.”

When Krashu added that it was a shabby shop, but the food was good, Lilina nodded her head as well.

“That’s why it’s a store frequented by magic academy students. It’s better because it’s open until late.”

Having said that, Lirina’s face was filled with bitterness.

She recalled someone as if she was reminiscing, and then came to her senses and handed her the cake on a plate.

“If you know the taste, fortunately you will enjoy it. Here you go.”

“Thank you. I will eat without hesitation.”

Krashu cut and ate her cheesecake with the fork he got from Lirina.

Lirina looked at it blankly and was lost in her thoughts.

He is a young-looking boy in his mid-teens.

Seeing as he knows about Alina’s shop, which only those in the know know, is he also a student at the Magic Academy?

The appearance of eating cheesecake was dignified.

With that alone, Lirina noticed that he was a child of his own family.

Working as her maid in her noble family, there was no way she would miss that.

“Come to think of it, I forgot to introduce myself.”

In the meantime, Krasch, who took a bite of the cheesecake, opened his mouth belatedly.

Certainly, Lirina introduced herself, but he did not.

“My name is Krashu Valheim, a member of the Blue Sea Knights.”

But the moment she heard the next words, her body stiffened.

Valheim, because the name was a family that even she knew, living in the magical city of Hallgram, far away from Staron.

That was the moment when the strange first meeting with the boy began.

* * *

After that, one of Lirina’s routines included going to her park and meeting Krashu.

Actually, it didn’t matter if I didn’t go.

For some reason, Lirina kept heading to the park.

‘Why do I always go to the park?’

As Lirina headed to the park today, she pondered seriously.

First of all, it must have become a routine to feed her crow, which she nicknamed her.

The crow called Cream was smart and charming enough for her to feel affection for him.

So, she wanted to meet Cream again, so she inadvertently set footsteps.

The second reason was because I thought what to do with leftover food anyway.

Even though Krashu clearly said it was Valheim, when she brought her food, she ate well.

She wondered if Valheim was more generous than she thought, but after hearing from Krashu, she said it was because the Qinghai Knights’ training was difficult and they were often hungry.

However, there was a strange reluctance when talking about Valheim.

So, Lirina secretly asked her ladies-in-waiting about Krashu, who always came to ask her story from somewhere.

The story of Valheim was quite famous even in Hallgram.

As a result, Lirina learned one thing.

The fact that the youngest member of Balheim is half a penny.

With no talent whatsoever, he was ostracized in Balheim.

As soon as Lirina heard the news, she realized through some of Krashu’s actions.

I wondered why a man the size of Balheim had come all the way to Hargram, but he was exiled to the Blue Sea Knights.

The reason he always seemed hungry was probably because Valheim stopped supporting him.

This must be why he always reacted reluctantly to talking about Valheim.

There is quite a distance between Halgram and Staron.

Halgram is an independent city that is not within Staron’s fence.

So that’s why the recent changes to Krashu weren’t information that a handmaid could come across yet.

Because of that, Lirina fell into a misunderstanding due to her lack of information.

Lilina felt sorry for him.

She is a boy who has not reached adulthood yet.

She

The fact that she was abandoned by her family must have hurt her heart.

Perhaps it was because of Aslan, she had a particularly weak side to the wounded boy.

In fact, she didn’t even know what she was doing now was close to her escapist behavior.

Since she has no way to heal Aslan, in a way she comforts herself by helping Krashu, who is in a similar situation to him.

‘It’s pitiful. Me.’

But seeing Krashu eat well, he was proud.

Even though the food was bought from a long distance before dinner, Aslan only ate one bite.

I was grateful in my own way to Krashu, who ate food that Aslan hadn’t touched even though he threw away the food she had touched.

“I ate well.”

“It’s nice to see you eating well. I think Krashu-nim will grow taller later on.”

Recently, Lirina, who brings only food that Aslan hasn’t touched at all, has a unique smile.

Seeing her like that, Krashu touched the back of her hair for a while.

She looked at him, who seemed to have something to say, and Lirina tilted her head.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Well, it’s hard to say from the point of view of getting food every time, but I think there are some circumstances with the food that Ririna-san brings.”

From noble mtl dot com

Certainly, this was a situation that anyone would immediately find strange.

The food Krashu ate was from the same restaurant every time.

If you think about it, leftovers.

Lirina is she works for the Ygritte family.

It was obviously abnormal for her to leave food from the same restaurant every time.

She looked at Krashu, who noticed that, and Lirina rolled her eyes for a moment.

To be honest, it’s not something I would tell others.

However, she also felt the suffocation in her heart.

She said that the owner she served was trying to commit suicide every time, but it wasn’t difficult just because she was next to her.

So she munched her lips for a moment.

‘If I talk like this, I’m no different from the maids.’

As she thought about the maids she had scolded, Krashu opened her mouth first.

“I asked too much in a situation where I was being robbed. I just asked because Lirina-san always seems to have a caring face, so she said if it’s okay with Lirina-san, it’s okay not to answer.”

Hearing her continued words, Lirina covered her face.

“…… That expression on her face isn’t that strong, so it probably wouldn’t have been too obvious, right?”

“There are people around me who have more facial expressions. I am confident in reading facial expressions.”

Actually, it’s because she’s known enough to read Lirina’s expression rather than that.

Krashu smiled and evaded it like that.

“You are always lost in your thoughts. I have no choice but to show off.”

Lirina removed her hand from touching her face.

“I thought you could read Cream’s mind, but it looks like you can read mine too.”

Sometimes Krashu was seen acting as if he was having a real conversation with his crow, so Lirina smiled lightly.

And at the same time, she wondered how harshly he grew up in the family, how quickly she grew up.

“…… I see. Be worried Krashu-nim is an outsider, so don’t you want to be scolded by the lady-in-waiting even if you complain a little?”

She said that and looked up at the sky with her pensive expression.

“Lilina-san.”

Then Krashu called her.

“It’s difficult to explain my situation in detail, but I don’t have anyone to talk about anywhere.”

He is called the half-penny of Balheim.

Lilina also agreed to that part, although it was regrettable.

“People say that if you put a story in your heart, one day it will be too heavy to move. Don’t you need less sometimes?”

“…… You are more eloquent than I thought.”

Lirina touched her hair beside her for a moment.

It was a gesture she made when she was in trouble.

After a while, she looked back at Krashu.

“I see. I think Krashu-nim has probably heard of it at least once recently.”

“…… Are you saying that a direct descendant of the Ygritte family is attempting suicide?”

Lirina nodded her head up and down her.

It was a story that could not be known when living in her halgram.

“I am Aslan’s maid. The food I brought to Krashu was food that Aslan hadn’t touched. Still, the food at this restaurant is as good as it gets. You have memories.”

Lirina touched her basket slowly.

She missed Aslam, who always enjoyed eating here with someone.

“I guess so.”

“I’m sorry. You told me a somber story.”

“No. But I heard that Aslan wasn’t like that originally.”

At that moment, Krashu, who almost had thorns sprouting from Aslan’s mouth as he tried to seed him, managed to spit out the words.

“Yes, that’s right. You were originally a bright person. He was the kind of person who persevered through difficult times.”

Lirina couldn’t control her lips once the story started.

Anyway, it seemed that the story I had kept in my heart, as Krache said, became too heavy than I thought.

“…… But after one of Aslan-sama’s friends stopped coming, Aslan-sama was ruined and drank.”

She tells Aslan after the disappearance of what may have been her only friend.

She said, “That she stopped coming.”

“…… She’s missing I also looked for this and that, and I told the vice-lord, but rather, he told me not to think about looking for it. So… ….”

As she poured out her words, she belatedly came to her senses and raised her head.

I inadvertently spat out all the words that the bundle was bursting and the words that were not there.

“Please pretend you didn’t hear what I just said.”

This is not a story to tell outsiders.

So when she said that, Krashu shrugged her shoulders.

“I have nowhere else to go.”

Seeing Krashu’s nonchalant reaction, Lirina smiled bitterly at her.

“Strangely, when I’m with Krashu, I talk a lot. I am by nature a quiet person.”

“Is that so? I didn’t think that Lirina-san had a reticent personality.”

Actually, Lirina in Krashu’s memories was always talkative.

‘Well, although I did this on purpose.’

Krashu has his own way of speaking, but Ririna is someone Krashu knows.

So, whenever she met Lirina, she talked about this and that so that she could quickly get acquainted with herself.

Because of that, she must have inadvertently become comfortable with herself.

Now we have come.

Krasu lightly raised himself from the chair.

“Then let’s solve the problem.”

“Yes?”

When Lirina looked at Krashu with her puzzled expression, Krashu smiled.

“In the end, if you find Aslan-san’s friend, then Lirina-san’s troubles will be solved, right?”

“…… But I’ve been asking quite a bit.”

“This is Valheim.”

And when Krashu declared, Lirina flinched.

As he said, he was reputed to be half a penny, but he was Balheim.

She might be able to know much more information than Ygritte’s handmaid, Lilina.

“…… I don’t believe that Balheim is the person who gets food every day because I’m hungry.”

“That’s a big deal. How do I build trust?”

“It’s a joke. Believe.”

Anyway, it’s worth living in the yard that has already been spit out inadvertently.

For some reason, feeling a bit relieved, Lirina smiled.

“Then, please. Mr. Krashu.”

So she politely put her hands together and asked Krashu.

“Please pay for the meal.”

And, like her, with a little prank.
