Ch. 115 Munchkin – Chapter 115
by AfuhfuihgsChapter 115
In front of the Bloodbell Castle gate.
Lucy stood there.
Camilla and Ellie stood on either side, arms crossed.
“So, this is the Bloodbell family’s castle.”
At Ellie’s words, Lucy nodded slightly.
“There’s a very cute kid living in this castle.”
“R-Really? Cuter than Lucy?”
“No. I’m the cutest.”
Just then.
The castle gate creaked open.
“Lucy!”
Charlotte, holding Acrones in her arms, hopped out.
Charlotte tried to rush to Lucy and hug her, but quickly stopped when she saw the other kids beside her.
“U-Um. You’ve come, Messenger of Darkness and Truth…”
Charlotte put on an awkwardly grim expression.
“…”
Camilla and Ellie stared at Charlotte without a word.
Lucy opened her mouth.
“It’s me.”
“Ah, I know!! N-No. I have to be careful. There might still be watchful eyes here…!”
Charlotte suddenly darted her eyes around, looking for something.
Of course, there was no one around.
“Come in quickly. Before ‘they’ see you…”
As they entered the castle, Ramone greeted Lucy.
“You’ve arrived, benefactor.”
Ramone bowed politely.
Behind him, expressionless Death Knights stood crookedly.
Ramone straightened them with a gesture and said.
“The Death Knights listen really well. They seem much better than soldiers or knights. And they don’t cost anything…”
That’s when it happened.
“Charlotte~~ Where are you~~”
From far away.
A voice filled with a strange excitement could be heard.
Darcan, making a clunky sound in his armor, came running quickly.
But as soon as he saw Lucy, his eyes widened.
“A-Ah, Master…!”
Darcan hurriedly bent over.
And belatedly realizing he was holding a stethoscope, he hastily hid it behind his back.
Lucy tilted her head.
“What’s that?”
Darcan sweated and smiled awkwardly.
“Ah, it’s nothing! Just a decorative prop! It’s nothing!”
Lucy quietly looked at Charlotte.
“Charlotte.”
“Yes?”
“Did you do something with Darcan?”
Charlotte smiled brightly, as if it were nothing.
“We played hospital! Darcan was the doctor!”
Lucy’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
Charlotte excitedly continued.
“He took my temperature in the room, and he pressed on my chest, stomach, and back to examine me! And he said, ‘This is the problem!’, while touching my thighs!”
Lucy’s expression turned coldly.
Darcan, sweating profusely, stepped back.
Then, he shouted at the Death Knights standing crookedly, approaching them.
“Hey, you! Can’t you stand up straight?!”
It was obvious that he was trying to vent his anger on the innocent Death Knights.
Lucy stared intently at Darcan without saying a word.
[Be careful. This is a warning.]
A cold will pierced Darcan’s mind.
Darcan trembled all over and nodded.
[I’m sorry. I’ll be careful from now on.]
Tsk.
Lucy clicked her tongue softly.
Whether it’s undead or demons, they don’t seem to listen.
‘Lilith was like that before, too…’
Looking to the side, Charlotte was smiling brightly, holding Lucy’s hand tightly, without knowing anything.
“Lucy, I found a treasure trove of darkness and truth. Do you want to go with me?”
Lucy gently stroked Charlotte’s head.
“Okay. Let’s go together.”
◈
Abandoned area.
The warehouse ruins of Bloodbell Castle.
The bricks were broken in places, and the light pouring through the gaps in the ceiling scattered the air like powder.
“Here it is, Lucy! The treasure trove of darkness and truth!”
Charlotte shouted, raising her arms high.
Camilla grabbed Lucy’s sleeve and stepped back.
Ellie twitched her eyebrows and said in a small voice.
“…Treasure? It’s just a haunted house.”
Camilla and Ellie thought Charlotte was a strange kid, but they tried not to show it on the outside.
Before coming to the castle, Lucy had asked them to “be nice to her because she’s pitiful.”
Charlotte, unaware of this, was triumphant.
Picking up a rusty sword lying on the floor, she said.
“This is the Sword of Darkness! The legendary sword that slew the Demon King a thousand years ago!”
“…”
Camilla and Ellie forced a smile.
“Ooh, that’s amazing.”
“It’s a holy sword. Cool.”
Of course, they were thinking, ‘It’s just a rusty iron bar…’
Not knowing that, Charlotte excitedly went to find the next item.
Charlotte found a small black crystal in a crack in the collapsed wall.
“Ta-da! This is the Crystal of Darkness! The source of the legendary cursed magic!”
Charlotte raised it up, her eyes sparkling.
Moments later,
Wooong—
The black crystal began to vibrate lowly.
Black mist began to rise from within.
A feeling as if even the air was being pressed down heavily.
Even so, Charlotte smiled brightly.
“Oh, look at this. Isn’t it cool? It really must be cursed!”
“Charlotte.”
Lucy called out softly.
“Put it down.”
“Huh…?”
At that moment.
Her eyes changed.
Her eyes turned red, and a black aura began to emanate from her surroundings.
“Hehehe…”
Charlotte let out a low, strange laugh and clutched the crystal.
“Finally, I have obtained a vessel…”
A strange voice, as if a completely different entity was speaking.
Camilla and Ellie frowned.
‘Isn’t that a bit too much…?’
‘She’s really weird…’
That’s what they thought, but Lucy’s expression was serious.
Wooong—
The black crystal vibrated.
Dark red blood vessels spread from Charlotte’s fingertips.
“…Charlotte.”
Lucy called out softly.
But it was too late.
Charlotte’s eyes glowed red.
The face that had been so bright until just now was slowly being stained with darkness.
Her nails grew long, drawing sharp curves, and a strange smile hung on her small lips.
“Hehehe…”
Charlotte slowly raised her head.
“My name is…”
She spread her arms wide and shouted.
“The one who devours the chaos of heaven and earth! The incarnation of darkness and truth! The guardian who protects the 777th gate of hell!!”
“…”
Camilla and Ellie blinked.
The two paused for a moment, then awkwardly clapped.
“Wow… Amazing…”
“The 777th gate… That’s incredible…”
Lucy quietly looked at Charlotte.
With a coldly frozen expression.
Charlotte continued in an even more sinister voice.
“Hehe. Young and cute little ones… You look so delicious…”
Charlotte slowly approached.
From her long, outstretched nails, a black mist containing the aura of a demon flickered eerily.
“Hehe, fear me! All who hear my name will kneel…!”
Charlotte declared, her eyes flashing.
“I will devour your souls!”
Charlotte spat out black mist and charged.
At that moment, Lucy raised her hand.
Moment.
Swish—
A black shadow rose from the floor.
It wrapped around Charlotte’s wrists, ankles, and waist like a snake.
“Hng?!”
A small scream.
Charlotte stopped abruptly in mid-air.
Her whole body was writhing, wrapped in black bands.
Lucy walked slowly.
Thud, thud.
Kicking up dust with her toes.
‘If it’s now, Charlotte won’t remember anything I do…’
Currently, a demon was possessing Charlotte’s body.
‘Even if I tickle her armpits… She won’t know.’
A lewd smile appeared on her lips.
On the other hand, Charlotte, or rather, the demon possessing Charlotte’s body, let out a triumphant laugh even while bound by the shadows.
“Hehehe…! How dare you bind the body of this great being! I am the one who dominates the infinite abyss of darkness! The lord of cursed souls! An entity whose name cannot even be spoken!”
“I see.”
Lucy’s eyes narrowed.
[Devil Vision]
Letters appeared clearly in Lucy’s vision.
Name: Barus
Rank: Lower demon
Tendencies: Blusterous, Cowardly, Weak
“Pfft.”
Lucy burst into laughter.
“It’s a lower demon. I don’t deal with anything below mid-level.”
For reference, Lilith was the highest level, Agrevan and Amon were high-level.
The guy in front of her now, named Barus, was the same rank as the shadow demon Lucy had picked up before.
Almost harmless.
“Wh-What are you saying! I will devour your souls! Wail in agony!”
Lucy slowly approached Charlotte.
“You’ve taken possession of a fitting body.”
His bluffing was similar to Charlotte’s.
“Return to the crystal when I say it nicely. Or else.”
At that moment, Lucy released the dark magic flowing through her body.
“I’ll annihilate you.”
“…!”
‘Charlotte’s’ eyes widened.
An overwhelming aura that could not be resisted.
She instinctively realized it.
That Lucy in front of her was an existence she could never overcome.
That a lower demon like herself could be easily annihilated with a single gesture.
“U-Uuh…”
‘Charlotte’s’ red eyes trembled.
And then.
“…Hiccup.”
Chiiiik…
A thin stream of water flowed down between Charlotte’s legs.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Lucy frowned slightly, and Camilla and Ellie’s expressions hardened.
What was falling on the floor was definitely urine.
The demon possessed by Charlotte’s body had become frightened of Lucy and peed himself.
‘Charlotte’ (the demon) trembled and muttered softly.
“Th-This body… is choosing a strategic retreat…! I will never let you get away with this next time…!”
Even though he had peed in someone else’s body, he continued to bluff until the end.
“You better be prepared…!”
The demon fled into the crystal, and Charlotte’s red eyes returned to normal.
Lucy quickly released the shadow restraints.
“…Uh?”
Charlotte blinked and tilted her head.
“Just now, I felt like I had a dream…”
Charlotte’s expression hardened as she spoke.
Charlotte fumbled and brought her hand between her legs.
“…Hng!”
Charlotte’s eyes widened and shook violently.
Wet underwear.
Warm liquid flowing down her thighs.
‘T-This is definitely… No way…!!’
Charlotte’s face flushed bright red.
