Became a Munchkin Skill Thief

Episode 57 Receiving Moonlight Delay

“Lirina, Lirina.”

After cleaning Aslan’s room as usual, Lirina turned her head at the voice calling her.

There was a maid with a slightly sullen laugh.

“Who was looking for it outside?”

Lirina blinked her half-closed eyes.

She wondered if there was anyone who could come find her.

“He was a cute boy. When did she bewitch a boy like that again?”

But after hearing her words, she widened her eyes.

It was because she recognized who the lady-in-waiting was pointing at.

‘Krashu?’

Until now, he had never visited him personally.

Then he came because he asked for something.

‘I heard that you found it in just a few days… ….’

Maybe he really used the power of the Valheim family.

There was no other way to explain that she had found someone she hadn’t been able to find even though she had lived in Hallgram for a long time, even Lirina.

‘But Krashu-nim must be rejected by the family to such an extent that he can’t even eat all his meals.’

For him to use the power of his family, it must have never been easy.

But she gladly accepted the request for herself.

Lirina wiggled her fingers.

My thoughts inadvertently jumped to another place.

Hmmm, she coughed.

‘It’s an ax bottle. Ax bottle.’

As if telling herself to come to her senses, Lirina tapped her cheek a couple of times and asked her maid.

“Where have you been?”

“You know the back roads that ladies-in-waiting often go through, right? It seems to be standing there waiting.”

“Thank you.”

She tried to ignore her lady-in-waiting’s sinister laugh and headed for her back road.

Arriving on the back road through the garden she arrived at, she peeked open the door to her back road.

But for some reason, the front of the entrance was empty.

For some reason, her face was filled with regret as she inadvertently expected it.

“Something is wrong.”

She thought that the lady-in-waiting had given her the wrong information.

“Lilina-san.”

She turned her head at the sound of her voice calling her.

Then a boy with dark blue hair was standing there.

For a moment, Lirina’s happy heart burst out.

“If you are alone on a street frequented by ladies-in-waiting, the ladies-in-waiting might joke about who your boyfriend is.”

However, the words that came out somehow contained playful emotions that tickled slightly.

She herself doesn’t know why she keeps making comments like this.

“The only person who jokes like that is Lirina-san.”

He received it very skillfully despite Lirina’s naughtiness.

Lilina was often amazed whenever she saw him like that.

Because when she talked to him, she was always unstoppable.

Maybe that’s why she met and talked with Krashu at the park every time.

She enjoyed talking to him quite a bit.

“Then why did you seek me out yourself? If there is a different meaning, I might be slightly apologetic.”

“There is an important meaning that I found myself. Regarding what Lirina-san asked for.”

Lirina’s eyes widened slightly.

It was clear that Krashu had obtained the information of Aslan’s friend Dorothy.

“It’s so fast.”

“You have to pay for the food you eat, right?”

“Really. I meant this as a joke, but I didn’t expect you to find out so soon.”

Lirina looked around.

Not a good place to talk.

So she opened the back door slightly.

“Let’s go to the inner garden. I have a nice place to talk.”

There is a high probability of being scolded by the maid, but it’s just a matter of keeping her acquaintances in for a while.

So, Lirina took Krashu to the inner garden before she could stand out.

Because it is springtime, the garden is in full bloom with flowers and plants.

A little chilly wind passed by, probably because it was starting to fall.

Lirina followed the wind and stopped her steps just in time.

Looking back at Krashu, her eyes contained the meaning that it was okay to say it now.

Krashu also noticed the meaning, and she decided to get to the point right away.

“This is Miss Dorothy’s case. First of all, Miss Dorothy was not human.”

“Yes?”

At that moment, Lirina hardened.

Because a completely unexpected remark came out.

“What is that?”

It was a completely incomprehensible remark, so when she asked back, Krashu glanced around her.

It made sure that no one was around her.

“Do you know about spirits?”

Then Krache asked her a question.

Halgram’s city is not too far from the spirit king’s forest.

However, ordinary people did not know that much about spirits.

And it was the same for Lirina.

“When you say spirits, you mean eroding species, right?”

“Yes, I am.”

Lilina’s eyes shook.

It’s because Krashu realized why he was talking about spirits.

“Couldn’t Miss Dorothy… ….”

From noble mtl dot com

“It is a spirit.”

“It can’t be.”

Lilina couldn’t accept Krashu’s words.

Because the Dorothy that Lirina saw was human.

No matter where you look, you can’t believe it’s an erosive species.

“Did you know that erosive species continue to evolve?”

“Evolution of eroding species?”

Lilina is just a maid under her direct control. She

She is more rare than ever to see an erosion species in her life.

Of course she didn’t know that.

“Erosive species evolve steadily. Exactly, world erosion. They learn, they experience, and they build it up and bury it in the erosion of the world.”

So world erosion must be eliminated as soon as it occurs.

If you leave it as it is, it will grow out of control.

Sometimes, however, there is world erosion that has grown so much that it cannot be touched.

The erosion of the world that existed before man took possession of the world.

Geumyeok was just like that.

So, human beings distinguished between the geumyeok and the place where people live.

In order to give useless learning ability, it is to block it at all and manage it steadily.

“Miss Dorothy is a new spirit created by the Forest of the Spirit King. It’s like a spirit closest to a humanoid.”

A spirit born by absorbing information from a spirit of chaos that lived alongside humans.

That was Dorothy.

Lirina made an even more puzzled expression.

Aslan’s friend was a spirit, so it was a natural reaction.

“Do you still want to find Miss Dorothy?”

The current situation is absolutely not normal.

However, the fact that Aslan, a direct descendant of the Ygritte family, is possessed by a spirit will stir up many rumors.

Then it might be better for Aslan not to find Dorothy.

Lilina is Aslan’s direct maid.

It is a role that he has to help in the best way.

“Yes.”

But she answered without hesitation.

“Even if everyone around me points fingers, I am a maid who follows Aslan. Aslan now needs Miss Dorothy.”

Even if I will regret this one day.

Dorothy was necessary to Aslan.

Hearing her words, Krashu nodded slowly.

“Then there is one thing I need you to do.”

“I’ll do anything. Just say something.”

“Please introduce Mr. Aslan.”

This time, too, it was unexpected.

But she noticed that Krashu had something to say to Aslan himself.

“My role ends there.”

“On the contrary, they made it this far.”

Lirina gripped the hem of her skirt and bowed her head to Krashu.

“Krashu-nim, I will continue to take care of you without worrying about meals. So take good care of Aslan.”

Oh, it was a request like hers.

＊ ＊ ＊

Aslan Ygritte.

He turned 15 this year and became an adult, but he only woke up at the end of the evening today.

With long red hair, white skin and deep dark circles that are only active at night, he glanced toward the blackout curtain.

The curtain seemed closed and unwilling to open.

In the past, a curtain that would have been opened by a guest who would have come secretly.

「Aslan, are you oversleeping again? I came right after finishing the academy. I have to wait.”

Her voice still came out clearly.

‘Dorothy.’

Whenever Aslan realized that fact, her face darkened.

Because she was his only salvation, she is no longer in this world.

Only, Dorothy’s last laugh was pictured in his mind.

Her laugh in the fire.

That was the moment.

Smart-

Suddenly, someone knocking echoed through the window.

Aslan’s startled eyes turned to the window.

A look of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, his chest started pounding.

“Ugh.”

Aslan hurriedly stood up and swallowed the saliva from the pain in her throat.

Because he still had the pain from hanging himself.

He struggled to hold his neck and moved his steps.

Then, the moment Aslan opened the blackout curtains, he saw a boy with a face he hadn’t seen before.

A unique figure with black hair and a hoodie on his shoulder.

Are you younger than yourself?

The boy knocked on the window once more.

It was like asking to open a window.

Although Aslan felt doubtful, he opened the window as if possessed.

Because I remembered Dorothy knocking on the window so often.

“You… ….”

“Aslan.”

Under the moonlight in the night sky.

The boy called his name as if he knew it.

The distinctiveness of his blue eyes had the power to draw attention to him in a strange way.

“Do you want to bring Dorothy back to life?”

At that moment, the boy suddenly asked a question.

Aslan’s eyes widened at the completely unexpected question.

The boy knew Dorothy’s name because he spoke as if he knew Dorothy’s current situation.

“…… I want to bring it back.”

Maybe that’s why Aslan answered as if possessed.

I want to revive it.

Because that heart hasn’t changed.

At that moment, a crow spread its wings on the boy’s shoulder and flew up.

With fluttering black feathers, the boy drew a deep smile underneath.

“Okay. Then let’s make a deal.”

The deal that will bring Dorothy back started with the strange boy.

Hearing the word deal, Aslan asked blankly.

“Are you the devil… ….”

A demon that seduces people to trade.

It is said that there is such a monster among erosive species.

That’s why the boy made a puzzled expression when he said it casually.

“The devil is an asshole, and the devil doesn’t do this. Those who cut off all their limbs and ask you to pay the price in exchange for attaching them.”

Do you use it compared to demonic people?

As the boy frowned, saying that he had recalled unpleasant memories for no reason, Aslan also put on a dejected expression.

Then he touched his eyes for a moment and then slowly opened them.

The blurry eyes that had just been gone were gone.

Instead, Aslan’s intelligent eyes, which Krashu knew very well, were back there.

“I’d like to hear more about it.”

Krache finally smiled.

Fortunately, he was the Aslan he knew.

＊ ＊ ＊

For Krashu, the memories of the past before returning.

Under the burnt red magic tower.

Aslan placed a cigarette in his mouth with a dejected expression on his face.

Today he finished the funeral of his grandfather, King Yeom.

Due to the war with the world eroders, the red mage tower was burned down, and his grandfather died.

However, the emotion in Aslan’s expression was not sadness.

He had a grudge against his grandfather, King Yeom.

The problem is that there is no place to resolve that resentment.

「Crush.」

Aslan slowly exhaled smoke from the lit cigarette.

「Why do you want to protect the world?」

He was always a symbol of calm, but Aslan closed his eyes as if he couldn’t maintain that calm that day.

「I don’t know anymore.」

There were only 32 days left until his death.

‘I don’t know.’

Krashu was walking in the garden with memories of him briefly passing by.

A skinny body, red hair, and transparent white skin and eye shadows, like the symbol of lunar eclipse.

Krashu saw Aslan’s true face for the first time today.

That’s also true, because Aslan in Krashu’s memory was covered in burn scars and was dying with bandages all over his body.

However, Aslan has not changed since then.

[ Defeat Aslan’s ‘stubbornness’]

The contents of the dial that appears when using the black hood.

When Black Hood was used against Aslan’s lunar eclipse, the content that came out was the same as it was then and now.

‘Anyway, sticking to sh*t.’

Aslan would definitely want to get rid of the lunar eclipse from a long time ago.

But that wasn’t the power of others.

He was thinking that he wanted to overcome the lunar eclipse on his own.

Oh, he’s stubborn as ever.

But that’s why Krashu acknowledged Aslan.

Because Aslan was the one who burnt the moonlight body with his stubbornness and became the flame emperor.

‘But this time it will be different.’

He wasn’t there then, he’s here now.

Because he’s going to spare the only guy who can break his stubbornness.

After the death of the King of Flames, Aslan at the time said he did not know what the reason was to protect the world.

Well, this time I was going to give him a reason to live, even if it was by force.

‘Because I have to be my backbone.’

Krache decided that he would roll it until he cried later.

I was determined to pay the price for this hard work.

“Mr Krashu.”

At that moment, Lilina, who was waiting at the end of her garden, called herself.

There were many thoughts in her half-closed eyes.

The day Aslan died, she wept very sadly.

Krashu still remembers the tears he cried out.

She also said that he embraced her like that.

“Did you manage your work well?”

When Lirina asked Krashu, Krashu glanced at Aslan’s mansion.

“Yes, I have finished talking with Aslan. Aslan was also convinced about how to bring Dorothy back to life.”

Krasche clearly told him how to revive Dorothy.

After hearing that information, Aslan was shocked.

「How can you do that… ….”

Aslan was looking for information about spirits like this.

He thought that he might be able to catch a ray of hope.

However, even the Ygritte family, which manages the Forest of the Spirit King, could not find the information.

Of course, Aslan couldn’t believe that Krashu knew such information.

「I don’t think it really matters how you figured out the method, right?」

I didn’t intend to tell the whole story just because it was Krache.

Aslan also didn’t dig deep into Krashu.

Aslan and Krashu have a trading relationship.

As long as they could make a deal, the two of them had nothing to shy away from.

In that respect, the two were similar.

The common point is that they do not choose any means or methods.

「Let’s make a deal. Tell me what conditions you want.”

Afterwards, Aslan expressed embarrassment at Krashu’s wish to delay the lunar eclipse, but he agreed to the deal.

Because he also knew that this was the only way to save Dorothy.

But there was just one thing that was needed in advance to make such a deal happen.

And that wasn’t something Krashu could do alone.

“So there is something I want to ask you, Lirina-sama.”

“Yes? Are you talking to me?”

From noble mtl dot com

Lirina raised her eyes slightly, then straightened her posture.

Krashu is the only person who can save Aslan’s precious friend Dorothy.

He was determined to do whatever he could.

“Please do anything. Could she be Krashu-sama’s girlfriend? Isn’t the love between a maid and an aristocrat romantic?”

Lirina playfully lifted her skirt and bowed her head, acting like a maid taking orders.

“… ….”

Lirina coughed as her Krashu looked at her in silence.

“The atmosphere is so serious. I’ve been joking for a while. Please don’t look at me that way.”

She fanned her hand, saying that she was more embarrassed for no reason.

But the reason Krashu couldn’t answer right away was because of another reason.

‘…… Arthur, it sucks, but I guess I can’t help but sympathize with you a little now.’

While listening to the lines that overlapped just like in the past, Krashu moved his eyebrows for a while.

I was feeling a bit lost because I thought about the old days.

I tried hard to ignore it, but Nawon.

‘I’m a idiot too.’

They say a man can’t forget his first love.

That was just right.
