Chapter.24 The Changing World #After the Battle and the Confession

I meditated for about 5 minutes to recover a bit of my Stamina and Manaku. Then I went back across the moat using the bridge made by the Goblin Wizards and made a ladder leading up to the castle wall. But that doesn't mean I want to go up the wall.

'Fitri, can you come down!'

I called Fitri using telepathy.

(Why should I go down? Isn't the battle over?)

'We still have jobs after the war'

(What do you mean?)

'I'll explain when you're down'

It seemed like he did not know about Mana Stone. When she told him about her story while she was with her group, it was more precisely her former friends. I didn't hear him talk about the Mana Stone, even though they buried the bodies of the Goblins.

And most likely the one who buried the corpses of the Goblins was Fitri, since I had previously seen his Earth Magic already Lv.3.

Maybe I should take the Mana Stone from the Goblins' bodies they buried and maybe there are also the Goblins killed by the group in block C. Although it seems a little troublesome.

"So what are we gonna do again?" Fitri asked me when she got to the bottom while I was thinking about the above.

"Hm.... Uh! You know the monsters have a Mana Stone in their bodies, and I want it so I need your help to retrieve the Mana Stone from all these Goblin corpses"

"Do I have to dissect their bodies?" Fitri asked with a reluctant looking face.

"Well, if you really don't want to do it then I won't force you"

Well, although it would take a long time to retrieve the Mana Stone from nearly 200 Goblin corpses if done alone. And I don't want to force him if he really doesn't want to.

"Uh... No. gabe. Let me help you" He said that even though he still seemed reluctant to dissect the Goblin's corpse.

"You really don't have to force yourself!"

"Not so, I just want to help you"

"Alright, then I show you how to dissect it and where the Stone Mana is"

Since I have a Dismantling Skill, I can better figure out how to dismantle the corpse.

I walked towards one of the Goblin corpses that was under the wall with Fitri behind me, then I started to show him how to dissect it with Fitri.

"And here beside the heart is where the Stone is" I told him, pointing with the knife I used.

"And here's the Mana Stone I mentioned earlier" I showed her a small, dull blue stone that I took from the Goblin corpse that I dissected onto her.

"He... So this is what Mana Stone is called, but it's not that small"

"Well, since this is the Mana Stone of a low-level and weak monster, not to mention that the one I dissected was just an ordinary Goblin"

"Well, now you try it" I handed him the knife I used and the new plastic gloves.

"O-okay...." He stretched out his hand with some hesitation, but still took it. Then he began to dissect the Goblin corpse that was nearby.

"It's quite difficult, moreover it's stinky and disgusting" Even though he said it he continued.

"For the smell problem, you can use a mask. But you have to hold him back on that disgusting visualization" Hearing me, he extended his left hand to me.

"...."

"..?.."

"Mask?"

"ah! The mask! I didn't bring it. But it looks like there are some disposable masks in my house. I'll go get it"

"No, let me take it" said he stood up and started walking up the stairs.

"Do you know where it is?" He stopped and turned his head towards me with a facial expression that said, "let's say it!" It seems like he really won't let me take it for him.

"In the desk drawer under the tv!" Hearing him, he started walking back.

Seeing him walking up the stairs, I thought of immediately going to take the Mana Stone from the Goblin General, but Fitri had not finished dissecting this Goblin corpse.

Hm.... Yeah! He can definitely finish it by himself when he comes back, and I can talk to him later by telepathy.

After thinking like that, I immediately walked towards the corpse the Goblin General was in.

"The body is really big, and even though the Armor looks still good but it's impossible to use because of its size"

But maybe I can still sell later, I should just keep it in my Inventory first.

I approached him and imagined to keep his Armor and what happened was that only his Armor was stored and left a corpse without armor.

From there I got an idea to take Mana Stone without having to dissect it. But it didn't work.

According to Megumin's explanation, it was because the Mana Stone was still part of an item that was a Corpse, but when it was separated the Mana Stone turned into the item itself.

At first I thought this was because my Inventory level was still Lv.1, but after I thought back to it it was only natural like that. If my Inventory Skill can store the Mana Stone directly it means that I can also directly store the heart of my enemy while fighting. That would be a very fraudulent ability.

For the time being I can use Inventory to retrieve an item that someone has, if that person is dead. If my Inventory Level has gone up, it is possible to take out items that a person has while he is still alive and maybe even during a fight, but his success still depends on my Inventory skill level and Level/Rank of the item.

And there may also be items that have possession magic. Whatever it is, my Inventory skill is already a cheating skill, so I'm not too disappointed.

I almost finished dissecting the Goblin General's corpse at the thought of it, then I was able to find Mana Stone, no! I found 2 Mana Stones! But one of them is rainbow colored and looks transparent.

"Hm... Megumin did Analyst on this stone"

{Good Master!}

[Crystal Skill: Brute Force Lv.1]

[Absorb this Crystal to obtain his Skill]

Oho! This is a Crystal Skill. Although I can also produce it using my Gift Skill Creation (Creation Skill).

"And how do I absorb it?"

{Master can absorb it like when absorbing Mana from nature while meditating}

I see!

Well, for now I'll just keep it.

Saving the two, I proceeded to retrieve the Mana Stone from the other Goblin corpses. And I saw that Fitri had also returned and was dissecting the Goblin corpse that was around the wall.

Since he didn't say anything, then I didn't need to bother him either.

We continued to do Mana Stone retrieval for about 20 minutes.

After I finished I walked towards Fitri's place which seemed to be still dealing with the Goblin's corpse which was around the wall.

When I was a few meters away from him, he stood up and turned towards me.

It seems like he's done too!

"Where's Fit? Done yet?"

"Yes, this is the last one. What about that one over there?"

"I've retrieved Mana Stones from all the Goblin corpses that were there, this is faster than I thought. Maybe because my Dismantling skill level went up"

"ah! I also got the Skill and now it's Lv.2"

"So, fine since it's done let's go back inside the house.... But it looks like you're out of Mana"

"Yep, so I leave it to you to bury the remaining bodies"

"alright... Help me collect it in one place"

There were 7 unburied Goblin corpses around the wall. Fitri and I each dragged one Goblin's corpse into one place and piled it up.

Putting the last corpse in the pile, I then used Earth Magic to make a hole under the pile and close it.

After I finished dealing with the corpses, I then removed the bridge in the moat and we walked towards the house. Of course I did not forget to remove the stairs on the outside of the wall.

"Haa.... Fresh"

We sat on the couch in the living room drinking the cold water I took from the fridge.

"Oh yeah! Here's your catapult and here's where the Stone is" Saying that, Fitri handed over the catapult and the pouch *****.

"You don't have to apologize, I'm even grateful that you helped me" I told her that, but she just smiled wryly.

"Well, this is nothing. Because I just wanted to thank you for saving me before"

"Well, at that time I was just heading to the Dungeon and saw a Goblin being chased. So I was thinking of saving to get information from him"

"And I didn't think that person was you, Fit"

"Even so, the fact that you saved my life hasn't changed, so I'll tell you everything I know... Nah! I'll give it all to you" After saying that he looks ashamed of something.

'Hm... Why does he look embarrassed?'

Nah! I'll give it all to you

Oho! So so! But is it really what I meant? I have to make sure first.

"Yes.... You said you were going to give it all to me.... This doesn't mean information, right?"

"Y-yeah..."

"You mean, you gave up everything about yourself to me?" Hearing this he grew embarrassed, then nodded his head.

Ughhhh! Her shy face is so sweet.

"That means not only your body but also your heart?" I said that to tease him further. And he turned his face away in shame.

"Un..." He nodded his head without looking at me, but I could see his ears were red.

Ughhhh! She's really cute. Makes me want to pounce on him immediately. But I have to be patient, because I want to know how she feels about me.

"You don't have to go that far, because you don't like me" After hearing me say that, he turned his head towards me with a confused face.

"What do you mean? I don't remember ever saying that I don't like you. Aren't you the one who stayed away from me because you're tired of being with me?"

Huh huh? What'd he say?

"ah! Um... How should I say it..... I really don't want to say this, because it makes me feel so bad.... " Saying that I paused for a moment to prepare myself.

"Well.... You know when we were in 6th grade I realized how I felt about you, but then I listened to your conversation with your friends in class..."

"I'll be in class soon, but then one of your friends asks how you feel about me, so I hide behind a wall outside the classroom because I want to know too. And you say that you don't have feelings for me...."

"Then I started to keep my distance from you to draw your attention, but your attitude didn't seem to care much about it..."

"That's how our relationship continues. Well, I omitted some unimportant details, but the point is I ran away from you by not saying anything to you"

After I finished speaking, he made a bitter expression on his face.

"Ah... U-umm.... Sorry..." He apologized and began to tell from his point of view.

In short, she was just too embarrassed to tell her true feelings to her friends, and her seemingly uncaring attitude from my point of view was because she did not dare to ask me and just went with the flow.

"I'm sorry, because I'm a coward..." He said that at the end of his story.

"Ughh! You don't have to apologize. Well, wasn't I a coward too.... Uh! Maybe I'm more embarrassed to act like a little kid who's been sulking, even though I was actually a kid in 6th grade Elementary at the time"

"Gpfft!..."

"Gpfft!..."

Haha....

We laughed together for a while.

....

After I stopped laughing, I took a breath to prepare myself.

This time I will not run away again and face it properly, I will accept whatever the outcome.

"So, Fitri. I have something to tell you...." I paused for a moment.

"Un...?"

"I-i... Love you long ago, and now I still love you, and I still want to love you in the future" Ah!... I really said it.

After that Fitri looks very embarrassed with his face that looks reddened.

"Ah!.... Um.... Me either....." He said something in a very slow voice. Even though I can hear him, I want him to say it more clearly.

"I can't hear you...

So how do you feel about me?"

"Law.... I-I love you too!" Hearing that, I immediately hugged her, she was surprised but did not refuse and hugged me back.

I want to eat it right now. But I have to wait because our bodies smell so much Goblin blood. I broke away from us and he looks a bit reluctant.

"We'd better take a shower first"

"Un..."

"Are we going to take a shower?" I said that with not too much hope. I really want a shower together. But unfortunately my bathroom doesn't have a bathtub to soak in, and just a place to hold water from the tap.

While I was thinking about that. Fitri became increasingly embarrassed by her increasingly reddened face.

"Ah... Um... You better go first"

"Alright, I'll go take a shower first"

Well, it looks like there will be no showers this time. But I will definitely make it happen in the future.

***

I sat on the sofa in the living room after finishing the shower and was waiting for Fitri to finish the bath.

I feel so impatient to wait. But I have to be patient, because I can't mess it up. Because this will be my graduation from bachelor status.

After a few minutes of waiting that felt like a long time. Finally, Fitri finished the shower. He was wearing a white towel that covered his body. And he cut his hair into a boat.

My heart beat faster, but I was patient. I patted the sofa with my right hand to ask her to sit on my right. He walked in shame and sat a little far away from me. I patted the place next to me to ask him to come closer.

She approached slowly, and I pulled her into my arms. She didn't fight back and hugged me back, put her face on my chest, and I enjoyed stroking her head for a while.

Then I separated her head from my chest, she looked at me for a moment and closed her eyes.

Does this mean you can kiss her? Or maybe he asked for a kiss?

Whatever it is, they are both the same.

I put my face closer to hers, and put my lips together with hers.

Her lips felt soft, so I made our kiss even bolder.

My first kiss felt like mint, most likely she felt the same way too, because we used the same toothpaste.

After the kiss I couldn't be patient anymore, so I took her to my room with the princess's sling. The next thing that happened was that I ate it unilaterally even though this was my first time.

Hiya, hiya,

No Face here.

Although I originally intended to write this work with a focus on Action Adventure Fantasy with a little Romance seasoning, but it seems Romance is no longer a spice anymore.

And whether this chapter falls into the adult category or is still fairly safe, and I've been trying to make it as safe as possible.

So what do you think. There may be a veteran author reading this work, if you can write your comments on this issue because I'm not sure if I should mark this chapter for only age 21 and above.

That's all for this chapter.

Thank you for reading this chapter too. Like and comment, also add to your favorites or maybe you can give your Weekly Vote, even you can share if you have free time.

My greetings.
