[EP.20] Hwa Darling’s Plan
“Hello, hello! “Honey, were you waiting for me?”
“Since when did I become your baby?”
As soon as he arrived, Krasch looked slightly fed up when he saw Darling shaking his head.
I was so exhausted from my experience with Balrog earlier that I didn’t have the energy to take Darling’s jokes.
“You look kind of listless. “What happened?”
Darling also noticed Krasch’s condition and asked about it.
Krasch also sighed because it wasn’t something he had to hide.
“The head of the family has gone.”
“Matriarch, matriarch? Could it be that it’s Muhwang, Balrog Valheim?”
It’s okay to call someone else’s father’s name.
“Yes, it’s my father.”
“Wow, that’s awesome! I actually wanted to see you. “It should have come sooner!”
She bounced around in place and looked a little disappointed.
Every time, her hair and earrings shook and caught his attention, but Crasch only shook his head.
“It’s better if we don’t meet.”
Because it just hurts inside.
And honestly, even Darling would have a hard time showing this attitude in front of Balrog.
There are two Celestial Sagans in the Empire, but there is only one Celestial Sagan in Staron.
In Staron, Balrog was everyone’s idol and a position that no one could touch.
Charlotte is the only new star, and it is expected that she will one day rise to the position of Balrog.
“So, kid, the reason I came to meet you was to make you the future head of Valheim?”
“Wow. “You know my sister well, right?”
Because she is Charlotte.
“I know. But I don’t think you, little one, are lacking.”
At the same time, Darling’s eyes widened.
“I’m really curious to see how this self-indulgent kid will stand up to Charlotte.”
Darling’s bad habits began to emerge.
As her curious eyes sparkled, Crasch poked her side with his finger.
“Ugh!”
Krasch said as he looked at Darling, who was twisting his body harder than expected.
“Stop talking nonsense. “I have no intention of becoming the head of the family in the first place.”
If the whole world is destroyed, they’ll go away, but it has no meaning.
When Krasch said that, Darling spoke in a hunched position, covering her side.
“I didn’t know you would come out weak in that way. By the way, kid, I’m not just stabbing you in the side. “How many people are sensitive?”
“Would you like to know?”
When Krasch snorted, Darling straightened her posture with an expression on her face that had barely caught her breath.
“So that’s what I asked for.”
As Krasch spoke, Darling smiled.
She opened the bag she was carrying next to her and took out a small bottle from it.
Inside the bottle was a pill shaped like a dumpling, smaller than your little fingernail.
“It’s finished. how is it? “Do you think I’m a bit of a genius?”
“You were always a genius.”
When Darling said it as if he was joking, Krasch responded by saying it was natural.
Seeing the unexpected reaction, Darling hesitated and Krasch took the medicine from her hand.
Meanwhile, Darling clenched and unclenched her hands and looked slightly embarrassed.
“… … Hmm, I didn’t know you would call me a genius so openly.”
“It’s right to call a genius a genius. “Because it suits me best.”
Geniuses are the ones who show the most outstanding results in their respective fields and are the most well-known, so their names are familiar, so we mistakenly think there are many of them.
The number was always so small that it was insufficient.
And Krasch lived in a generation full of such geniuses.
If you do not acknowledge genius, you will only become more insignificant.
So Krasch recognizes genius.
Although we are now in a position where we have to trample on those geniuses.
“Unexpectedly, a strange side appears in corners like this. Kid, the more you know, the more attractive you become, right?”
“Don’t flirt with children.”
“Children don’t understand these things.”
Leaving Darling giggling, Crashu tried to go to Aliod.
But the next words stopped Krasch in his tracks.
“There is news that Anix has changed recently.”
Krasch’s head turned back.
Annix reduced the intensity of her training after breaking up with Charlotte.
To be precise, the meaning of training has been lost.
Because he decided that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t reach Charlotte.
However, after seeing Krashu, who had been suppressed by Charlotte, spread his wings in the Star Shrine, something in Anyx’s heart changed.
No one knows what has changed.
However, the latest news is that he has increased the intensity of his training again.
“You are doing something useless.”

Krasch responded that he was displeased with Anix.
It was a natural reaction.
Because Anix is nothing but a traitor to Krashu.
On the contrary, it was absolutely disgusting.
‘I don’t know what influence he had on me.’
Krasch was not happy about that fact.
“okay. “Go now.”
“It’s too much. “You came this far and you want to go right away?”
“There isn’t really anything you can do here.”
“I don’t think that’s true.”
Krasch frowned when he saw Darling smiling.
If I left it like this, it seemed like her pranks would get worse as the days passed.
Maybe I should say something in advance.
[What a fun kid. ]
At that moment, Krasch stopped at the sound of a voice ringing directly in his head.
This sense of inadequacy was a phenomenon that occurred when Crimson Garden spoke to my mind.
As Krasch looked around, Crimson Garden was suddenly sitting by the window.
When my father appeared earlier, he immediately ran away and then reappeared.
[I was born with an alchemy star. Staron didn’t seem to have much going on other than Valheim, but it turns out there were quite a few useful talents. ]
Krasch saw Crimson Garden’s crow’s eyes shining red.
It seemed like he could see through Darling’s talent.
[It just worked out well. ]
At that moment, Crimson Garden showed a satisfied expression.
[Ask that child to make an elixir. ]
An elixir is a special medicine that can increase physical abilities and aura when consumed.
Of course, it is a valuable item, and the secret art of making elixirs has been passed down from generation to generation in the family.
Please make something like that right away.
Even darling, the elixir is not something that can create a tailwind.
[Don’t worry, I know everything about the combination formula. All you need is a skilled alchemist. ]
If that’s the case.
Crasch also had no reason to object.
In life, elixirs were things that had nothing to do with Krasch.
Even if I fed the elixir to Banpoon, it wasn’t effective because the eggs ate it all and there was nothing left.
[Child, your body is in such a mess, shouldn’t you at least pour some elixir on it? ]
Krasch did not deny that statement.
The first day I returned with Crimson Garden.
Krasch received his first training from Crimson Garden.
And what Krasch heard during that training was very simple.
“There is nothing innate about it. The path to swordsmanship is short, the talent of an auror is weak, and the body is slow.”
Crimson Garden was dumbfounded, saying it was a miracle that he didn’t have this level of talent.
“He said that he would try to make up for the talent he was missing in such a topic, and filled it up with a lot of experience and secret techniques. Even so, after about 5 years, when geniuses have gained experience, they won’t be able to keep up. “Even if there was nothing for this guy called a returner, it wouldn’t be possible for him to be like this.”
Krasch was not a regressor, but the rest of what he said was true.
Even Anix, whom Krashu easily defeated in the Holy Land of the Stars, will not be able to keep up with her when she is over 20 years old.
“But that is.”
As far as possible.
“It’s probably a story about your pure talent.”
If Crimson Garden only saw Krasch’s talent, they wouldn’t have made him their disciple.
“If I were there, such talents would have no meaning. “If you have greedy skills, just take away your talents.”
Crimson Garden slowly flew up into the sky.
The crow flapping its wings seemed to fly endlessly into the sky.
“I will make you fly after crawling on the ground all your life. You just flap your wings vigorously. And place under you all that flies in the sky. At the end.”
Crimson Garden spread its wings wide as if covering up even the moon in the sky.
“Swallow even my immortality.”
That’s what Crimson Garden said on the first day.
Krasch realized that it was something like the Crimson Garden’s oath.
A pledge to accept oneself as a disciple.
This is the elixir that Crimson Garden made.
Of course it will be of great help.
From Krasch’s perspective, there was no reason to hide it.
“Darling, then let’s ask for something else.”
“I have a lot to ask you. I am an expensive woman. “We don’t serve just anyone.”
“I want you to make an elixir.”
Krasch said without even blinking at Darling’s joke.
Upon hearing the word elixir, Darling tilted his head and then smiled slightly.
“To take an elixir and become stronger? “Did you feel inspired when Anix said you were training?”
“I don’t mind Anix. “Because I have too many things to worry about to worry about him.”
What Krasch sees is a much further future than that.
“At least that’s all you need to get a starting point.”
Darling looked at Krasch for a moment.
She doesn’t know much about Krasch.
He suddenly appeared and offered to help with his research and asked for a cure for an incurable disease.
The news that he was a genius in alchemy had already spread early in the evening, so I could understand such a request.
That genius can only be heard because he is still in his teens.
As time passes, there may come a time when she too becomes far from being called a genius.
And in fact, most people think so.
I have expectations from her, but I don’t trust her.
Throughout our lives, we have all seen many geniuses end up becoming criminals.
But Krasch never once doubted her genius.
As if her genius was natural.
How can you be so sure?
This is a little boy who will soon be 14 years old.
‘Every time I see you, it’s like I’ve bought the whole world.’
And this aroused a strange interest in Darling.
At first, my interest was limited to Valheim’s poisonous species, which was the complete opposite of Charlotte.
More fundamentally, she began to become curious about the person named Crashu.
“The price of making elixirs skyrockets depending on the ingredients. Kid, are you confident you can handle that?”
“What do you think of Valheim?”
“Valheim is great, but I’ve heard of the kid’s position well.”
It was questionable whether Valheim would provide such a large sum of money to Krashu, who was called Valheim’s half-pawn.
“do not worry. “Because they have ideas.”
Extorting money is not a difficult task.
Even if I turned a deaf ear to the rumors coming from outside, I had no choice but to listen to the rumors spreading inside.
Krasch is well aware of several major events that occurred within Valheim.
And that those events will bring in a lot of money.
“I’ll trust you because you’re so confident. So, what elixir do you want to make?”
“that.”
When Krashu glanced toward the window, Crimson Garden opened his mouth.
[If I say it, just say it. ]
And Krasch told Darling everything Crimson Garden had said.
Darling, who was quietly listening to the story, slowly began to harden.
Because the formula for combining the elixir that Krasch had mentioned was something she had never even thought of.
“Uh, is it okay to do it like this?”
She pondered the combination in her head with a blank expression.
Seeing her with a broken expression, Krasch, who was unfamiliar with alchemy, looked back at Crimson Garden to ask what she had told him, but she just shrugged her wings.
“Wow, kid, how do you know this?”
“… … “It’s a combination recipe from Valheim.”
Krasch looked around roughly.
“Valheim really has a lot to offer.”
I believe this.
Luckily, Darling was convinced and Crashu looked at her to see if she could try it.
Then her eyes sparkled.
“good. I also have a desire for a challenge. I want to try making it. But I can’t even get some of these. “In particular, I can’t get White Snow-fever and Geumryong-cho.”
“Did the Baekseol falciparum grow in the Hadenharz area?”
“Yes, the mountains there are very rugged and there is a lot of world erosion, so distribution is not good, so there are few herbalists.”
“It’s possible for me to get that.”
After hearing those words, Darling belatedly thought of his fiancé.
“Oh, I see. “It’s definitely possible.”
But she soon responded that other parts were more difficult.
“But you know about Geumryongcho.”
“Because it’s an imperial item.”
“Yes, because the empire manages it directly. There is nothing for sale domestically. “You may be able to find it by searching through backroom dealers, but it will be a hassle if the Empire catches you.”
“But that doesn’t mean there’s any other way.”
Darling raised his finger and poked Crasch on the cheek as he was thinking of searching through the backroom.
When I turned to ask what darling was doing, she smiled.
“I’ll teach that kid how to easily obtain a golden dragon plant.”
“Is there a way to do that?”
“Two martial arts competitions will soon be held in the empire. One is a martial arts competition for adults and the other is a martial arts competition for boys under the age of 15. And the real purpose of the empire is the second martial arts competition. “The reward is better that way.”
Krasch understood that immediately.
“… … Are you saying we should go and fight?”
“You can receive the Golden Dragon Cho just by finishing in third place. What do you think, is it worth doing?”
It’s not worth doing.
Krasch knew very well why the empire was holding the competition this time.
The reason was simple.
Using this competition, the Empire is trying to increase the pool of talent to enter Laheln Academy.
‘Laheln Academy is formally a place of harmony between kingdoms and empires.’
In reality, the struggle for political power ultimately comes first.
The more people from their own backgrounds are added to Raheln Academy, the bigger its power becomes.
So, the intention is probably to secure influence at Raheln Academy by becoming the backbone of dreamers through the competition.
‘I’m sure the kingdom is preparing something similar.’
An empire is not an empire for nothing.
The prom is being promoted so massively that rumors spread throughout the neighboring countries.
“… … Did you forget? I’m from Valheim. “If I participate in the Imperial Martial Arts Tournament, I will be ruined.”
“I remember that well. But in the empire, the conditions for participation are that anyone can participate.”
“You idiot. “That’s just a formality.”
“Hmph. “I just said you were a genius.”
Crasch covered his head and let out a long sigh.
If you think about it, Krasch himself needed the elixir in the first place, so Darling told him how to collect the ingredients.
Krasch looked at Darling, knowing it was wrong to be angry at her.
“The fact that you made this suggestion means that there is a way.”
Then Darling’s eyes immediately sparkled.
“Hehehe, as expected of a kid, I like that he’s quick-witted.”
Seeing Darling smiling unpleasantly, Crasch felt uncomfortable.
However, there was no other way to obtain Golden Dragon Herb, so upon seeing her, Darling quickly took out a medicine from his pocket.
“Becoming a woman… … !”
Clink!
Krasch immediately swung his fist and broke the medicine.
I had no intention of catering to her tastes.
“So what’s next?”
As Crasch smiled darkly, Darling gently wiped the broken medicine with a handkerchief.
