[EP.57] Receiving Tue-Wol-Eum-delay
“Lirina, Lilina.”
Lilina, who came out after cleaning Aslan’s room as usual, turned her head when she heard a voice calling her.
There was a maid there with a slightly gloomy smile.
“Who was looking for you outside?”
Lilina blinked her half-closed eyes.
He was wondering if there was anyone who could come to him.
“He was a cute boy. “When did you possess a girl like that again?”
But upon hearing what followed, her eyes widened.
This was because she recognized who the maid was pointing to.
‘Mr. Crashu?’
He has never visited me in person before.
So, the reason he came was because he asked me to do something.
‘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 why Lilina, who had lived in Hallgram for a long time, had found someone she had not been able to find through searching.
‘But Mr. Crashu will be ostracized by the family to the point where he won’t even be able to eat all his meals.’
It would not have been easy for him to use his family’s power.
However, he willingly accepted the favor for himself.
Lilina wiggled her fingers.
For no reason, my thoughts wandered somewhere else.
Hmm, she cleared her throat.
‘It’s ax disease. Ax bottle.’
Lilina tapped her cheek twice as if to remind herself to come to her senses and then asked the maid.
“Where were you?”
“You know the back road that the maids often go to? “It looks like he’s standing there waiting.”
“thank you.”
She headed down the back road, trying to ignore the maid’s sinister smile.
She arrived at the back road after passing the garden and opened the back road door.
But for some reason, the front entrance was empty.
For some reason, her face, which I had unconsciously looked forward to, showed disappointment.
“Have I misunderstood something?”
It was just when I thought the maid had given me the wrong information.
“Mr. Ririna.”
She turned her head when she heard a voice calling her.
Then a boy with dark blue hair was standing there.
Lilina suddenly felt happy.
“If you are alone on the road that the maids often take, the maids might joke around and ask who your boyfriend is.”
But for some reason, the words that came out were filled with a slightly playful feeling.
I myself don’t know why I keep making comments like this.
“The only person who makes jokes like that is Ririna.”
He was very skillful in dealing with Lilina’s mischievousness.
Lilina was often amazed every time she saw him like that.
Because there was always no interruption when talking to him.
Maybe that’s why I met and talked to Krasch at the park every time.
It was quite fun talking to him.
“Then why did you come looking for me directly? “If it has a different meaning, I might feel a little sorry.”
“There is an important meaning that I discovered firsthand. “I’m talking about what Ririna asked me to do.”
Lilina’s eyes widened slightly.
As expected, it was clear that Krasch had obtained information from Dorothy, who was Aslan’s friend.
“It’s so fast.”
“You have to pay for the food you earned, right?”
“Really. “I only meant it as a joke, but I didn’t expect you to find out so quickly.”
Lilina looked around.
It’s not the right place to talk.
Therefore, she slightly opened the back door.
“Let’s go to the inner garden. “There is a good place to talk.”
There is a high probability that you will be scolded by the head maid, but everyone takes it easy to bring in an acquaintance for a while.
So, Lilina took Krashu to the inner garden before she was seen by others.
Because it is spring, the garden is in full bloom with flowers and plants.
Perhaps because night was slowly falling, a slightly chilly wind passed by.
Lilina followed the wind and stopped just in time.
When she looked back at Krasch, her eyes showed that it was okay to talk now.
Krasch also realized the meaning and decided to get straight to the point.
“It is Miss Dorothy’s matter. First of all, let me tell you that Miss Dorothy was not human.”
“yes?”
At that moment, Ririna stiffened.
This is because a completely unexpected remark came out.

“What is that?”
It was a completely incomprehensible statement, so when she asked, Crasch glanced around.
It was confirmed that there was no one around.
“Do you know about spirits?”
Then Krasch asked her a question.
Hallgram’s city is not far from the Spirit King’s Forest.
However, spirits were not something that the general public knew about in such detail.
And it was the same for Lilina.
“If you say spirits, do you mean erosion species?”
“Yes that’s right.”
Lilina’s eyes wavered.
This is because I realized why Krasch was talking about spirits just now.
“No way Miss Dorothy… … .”
“It’s a spirit.”
“No way.”
Lilina couldn’t accept Krashu’s words.
Because the Dorothy that Lilina saw was clearly human.
No matter where you look, it doesn’t look like it’s an erosion species.
“Did you know that erosive species continue to evolve?”
“Evolution of erosive species?”
Lilina is just a direct maid.
It is rare for her to see erosive species in her life.
Of course, I didn’t know that fact.
“Erosive species are constantly evolving. That’s precisely what global erosion is. “They learn, they experience, and they accumulate those things and bury them in the erosion of the world.”
So global erosion must be eliminated as soon as it occurs.
If you leave it as is, it will grow out of control.
However, sometimes there is a world erosion that has already become too large to be touched.
World erosion that existed before humans took over the world.
Geumyeok was like that.
Therefore, humans differentiated between places where people live and places where people live.
The only way to give useless learning ability is to completely block it at the source and manage it consistently.
“Miss Dorothy is a new spirit created by the Spirit King’s Forest. “It is the closest spirit to a humanoid.”
A spirit born by absorbing information from the chaos spirit that lived with humans.
That was Dorothy.
Lilina looked even more embarrassed.
It was a natural reaction to hear that Aslan’s friend was a spirit.
“And you still want to find Miss Dorothy?”
The current situation is absolutely not normal.
Moreover, the fact that Aslan, a direct descendant of the Igrit family, is possessed by a spirit will give rise to many rumors.
In that case, it might have been better for Aslan not to look for Dorothy.
Lilina is Aslan’s direct maid.
It is his role to help in the best way possible.
“yes.”
But she answered without hesitation.
“Even if everyone around me points their fingers at me, I am a maid who follows Aslan. “Now Aslan needs Miss Dorothy.”
Even if I end up regretting this someday.
Aslan needed Dorothy.
After hearing her words, Krashu slowly nodded.
“Then there is one thing I need you to do.”
“I will do anything. “Just tell me.”
“Please introduce Mr. Aslan.”
This again was unexpected.
But she realized that Krasch had something to say directly to Aslan.
“I guess my role ends there.”
“Rather, you have made it this far.”
Lilina held the hem of her skirt tightly and bowed her head to Crashu.
“Crash, I will continue to provide you with meals without worrying about your future. So please take care of Aslan.”
Indeed, it was a request worthy of her.
＊ ＊ ＊
Aslan Igrit.
He turned 15 this year and became an adult, and this day he only opened his eyes around evening.
He had long red hair, white skin and deep dark circles that stood out because he was active only at night, and glanced at the blackout curtain.
The curtain was closed and didn’t seem to want to be opened.
In the past, the curtain would have been opened by a guest who came in secret.
“Aslan, are you oversleeping again? I came right after finishing the academy. “You have to wait for me.”
Her voice still comes to mind clearly today.
‘Dorothy.’
Every time Aslan realized that fact, his face darkened.
Because she, who was his only salvation, is no longer in this world.
He could only picture Dorothy’s last smile in his mind.
Her laugh in the midst of the fire.
It was that moment.
smart-
Suddenly, the sound of someone knocking echoed beyond the window.
Aslan’s startled eyes turned to the window.
There was confusion in his eyes.
At the same time, my heart started pounding.
“Ugh.”
Aslan quickly stood up and swallowed from the pain coming from his neck.
This is because the pain that occurred when he hung himself still remained.
He walked unsteadily, holding his neck with difficulty.
Then, as soon as Aslan opened the blackout curtain, he saw a boy with a face he had never seen before.
A unique figure with black hair and a hoodie on his shoulder.
Is he younger than you?
The boy knocked on the window once more.
It was as if he was asking me to open the window.
Although Aslan felt doubtful, he opened the window as if he were fascinated.
Because I remembered Dorothy often knocking on the window like this.
“you… … .”
“Aslan.”
Under the moonlight of the night sky.
The boy called out as if he knew his name.
The uniqueness of his blue eyes had the power to strangely draw attention to him.
“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.
Even though the boy knew Dorothy’s name, he spoke as if he knew Dorothy’s current situation.
“… … “I want to revive it.”
Perhaps that was why Aslan also answered as if he were possessed.
I want to revive it.
Because that feeling has not changed.
At that moment, the crow above the boy’s shoulder spread its wings and flew up.
With black feathers fluttering, the boy drew a deep smile underneath them.
“good. Then let’s make a deal.”
A deal to revive Dorothy that started with the strange boy.
Hearing the word “deal,” Aslan asked blankly.
“Are you a devil…?” … .”
A devil who seduces people and makes deals with them.
It was said that there must be such a monster among the encroaching species.
So, when I blurted out those words without thinking, the boy made a bewildered expression.
“The devil is a piece of shit, the devil doesn’t do deals like this. “These are the people who cut off all your limbs and ask you to pay for them in exchange for the limbs being reattached.”
Are you comparing it to people like devils?
As the boy frowned, thinking that an unpleasant memory had come to mind, Aslan also looked depressed.
Then he closed his eyes for a moment and then slowly opened them.
The blurry look in his eyes until just now had disappeared.
Instead, Aslan’s intelligent eyes, which Krasch knew so well, were back in their place.
“I’d like to hear the story in more detail.”
Only then did Krasch smile.
Fortunately, he was the Aslan he knew.
＊ ＊ ＊
For Krasch, it was the past, a memory before returning.
Below the burned-out Red Magic Tower.
Aslan put a cigarette in his mouth with a look of despair on his face.
Today he finished the funeral of his grandfather, King Yan.
This was because the Red Magic Tower burned down due to the war with the World Encroachers, and his grandfather died.
But the emotion on Aslan’s face was not sadness.
Because he always had a grudge against his grandfather, King Yeom.
The problem is that there is no place to resolve that resentment.
“Crash.”
Aslan slowly exhaled smoke from a lit cigarette.
“Why do you want to protect the world?”
Although he had always been a symbol of calm, Aslan closed his eyes as if he could not maintain that calm that day.
“I don’t know anymore.”
There were only 32 days left until his death.
‘I don’t know.’
Krasch was walking in the garden with a fleeting memory.
A skinny body, red hair, and transparent white skin and eye shadows, like the symbol of Woleumjiche.
Krasch saw Aslan’s real face for the first time today.
That’s because the Aslan in Crasch’s memories was covered in burn scars and covered in bandages, dying.
But Aslan remained the same from then to now.
[Break Aslan’s ‘stubbornness’]
The contents of the dial that appear when using the black hood.
When the Black Hood was used to target Aslan’s Lunar New Year, the content that came out was the same as before and now.
‘Anyway, you’re so stubborn.’
Aslan will definitely want to abandon the lunar diaphragm a long time ago.
But it wasn’t someone else’s power.
The guy was thinking that he wanted to overcome Woleumjiche with his own strength and throw it away.
Well, he was and still is a stubborn guy.
But that’s why Krasch acknowledged Aslan.
Because Aslan is the one who burned himself to the ground and rose to the level of a flame emperor with just his stubbornness.
‘But this time will be different.’
Because the self that wasn’t there then is here now.
Because he’s going to save the only one who can break his stubbornness.
After King Yeom died, Aslan at the time said he did not know why he had to protect the world.
In that case, this time, I planned to give him a reason to live, even if it was by force.
‘Because you have to have my back.’
Krasch decided that he would let her go until she cried later.
I was going to be rewarded for all my hard work.
“Mr. Crashu.”
At that moment, Lilina, who was waiting at the end of the garden, called to him.
Her half-closed eyes were filled with many thoughts.
The day Aslan died, she cried very sadly.
Krasch still well remembers the tears he cried.
That’s why he embraced her like that.
“Did you solve the problem well?”
As Lilina questioned Krashu, Krashu glanced at Aslan’s mansion.
“Yes, I am finished talking with Aslan. Aslan was also convinced about the way to bring Dorothy back to life.”
Krasch clearly told him how to bring Dorothy back to life.
And when Aslan heard that information, he showed astonishment.
“How do you do that…” … .」
Aslan found some useful information about the spirits.
I was wondering if I might be able to catch a glimmer of hope.
However, it was information that not even the Igrit family, which manages the Spirit King’s Forest, could find.
Of course, Aslan couldn’t believe that Krasch knew such information.
“It doesn’t really matter how you found out, does it?”
I had no intention of telling you the whole story just because it was Krasch.
Aslan also did not delve deeply into Krashu.
Aslan and Krasch have a business relationship.
The two had no hesitation in using any method as long as they could close the deal.
In that respect, the two were similar.
The common point is that they do not discriminate between means and methods.
“I’ll make a deal. “Tell me what conditions you want.”
Afterwards, Aslan expressed his astonishment at Crashu’s request for lunar delay, but he definitely agreed to the deal.
Because he also knew that this was the only way to save Dorothy.
But in order to complete such a deal, there was just one thing that was needed in advance.
And that wasn’t something Krasch could do alone.
“So, there is something I would like to ask of you, Ririna.”
“yes? “You mean to me?”
Lilina slightly raised her eyes and immediately straightened her posture.
Krasch is the only person who can save Aslan’s dear friend Dorothy.
He intended to do whatever he could.
“Please just order me anything. Can she at least be Crashu’s girlfriend? “The love between a maid and a nobleman is romantic, isn’t it?”
Ririna playfully lifted her skirt and lowered her head, acting like a maid taking orders.
“… … .”
As Crashu looked at her in silence, Lilina cleared her throat.
“It’s such a serious atmosphere. I was just joking for a moment. “Please don’t look at me that way.”
Lilina fanned her hand, saying that she had become more embarrassed for no reason.
However, the reason Crasch could not answer right away was due to another reason.
‘… … Arthur, it’s annoying, but I guess I can’t help but sympathize with you a little now.’
Crashu smoothed his eyebrows for a moment while listening to the same lines as in the past.
I thought about the past and felt a little upset.
I tried my best to ignore you, Nawon.
‘I too am a fool.’
They say a man can’t forget his first love.
That was exactly right.
fantasy, munchkin,
