◆ Shizufe

"With the black storm comes the army of the devil.

The dark knight leads the evil.

The Light Warrior is challenged.

Defeat the Dark Knight

But the Goddess of Light is coming.

Before the glory of the Goddess of Light, the Dark Knight flees.

The city of men is saved. "

A bard sings in front of the temple of the goddess of wisdom and victory, Reina.

People are listening to it.

Three days after the Black Storm, many people came to worship to thank Lena.

I come every day after the case is over.

I also offered my prayers earlier.

However, the waiting time was long.

"Shizufe ~"

"Kaina sister."

Kaina's sister is coming from across the street.

"Are you here again?

Kaina says with a stunned face.

"Of course, Kaina sister. I can't thank Lana enough."

Kaina stopped coming after visiting with me once.

I think you should be a little more grateful to Lena.

I remember the Black Storm incident.

An army of demons that came with a black storm.

The army was led by an evil dark knight on a giant dragon.

The Knight of Darkness was an incredible strength.

It was easy to defeat the Light Warrior Reiji, who beat the mightiest Damon King (Lord).

Many people would have seen the sight in the magical footage.

I look at the walls.

There is a huge hole in it.

The Dark Knight easily destroyed the Dwarf's sturdy walls. Once again, I feel the fear of the Dark Knight.

The dark knight pushed Reiji with the momentum to break through the walls.

The cobblestone in the square in front of the temple is still very broken.

And I was about to stab Raj, who fell down.

The victorious demons cover the sky of the Republic of Ariadia.

The pride of the devils struck the people of Ariadia in despair.

I don't think I can do it anymore, and I feel like I'm going to cry on my knees.

It was then. The goddess Reina came down with the angels.

The sudden appearance of a beautiful shining goddess took us away.

And when the goddess Reina appeared, the dark knight suffered as a result of her prestige.

I saw it in magical footage, but it was a very moving sight.

The Dark Knight had no choice but to retreat in agony in a state of frontwardness, and thus we were saved.

The impressive sight seemed to be shared by others, and it was decided to turn it into a mural and leave it to future generations.

The mural depicts the dark knight who bowed in front of Reina and will be passed down to the people of the Republic of Ariadia forever.

Also, the people who saw the mural will know the greatness of Reina.

"Well, that's true... But when you look at this crowd, you can't pray many times.

Let's go.... "

Kaina's sister looks at the crowd and says nervously.

Very many people. It's like a festival.

Reina's temple, despite its size, could not get inside, and the square before it was overrun by people.

It took me too long to worship.

Reilia, Reina's priest, seems to be busy dealing with worshippers.

Well, at least I'll thank you from here, Kaina.

In fact, I think that Kaina's sister should go inside and pray for Reina's statue. However, it seems painful to line up with Kaina's sister, who is not good at enduring it for hours.

"Well, then...."

Say so, Kaina. Sister prays.

I pray the same.

Thank you, Lady Lana, for saving us.

◆ Chiyuki

Many people gather in the makeshift theater built outside the castle wall.

The play is dedicated to the goddess Lena.

A loud voice praises the goddess Lena, who has driven away the demons known as the "Black Storm" that struck this country.

Shenna, dressed up, plays on stage.

The star returned and Roba's ears decided to give a lecture.

The stage is "Alferia" as planned.

By the way, the goddess Lena is supposed to appear in this play.

At the end of the story, when Princess Alferia was about to lose to a witch, Lena appeared to save her.

Apart from this "Alferia", there are many of Lena's last plays.

Of course, they're all Deus Ex Makina who solves a messy situation and converges the story.

The "Black Storm" that struck the Republic of Ariadia was also finally solved by Lena.

Exactly like this story.

It's beautiful, Chiyuki.

Nao, who is watching next door, tells me as she looks at Shenna.

Shenna, who was dancing in the middle of the stage, was very beautiful.

Shenna was at Rijena's house while she was missing, along with Shirone's childhood friend.

They weren't treated badly either. Rather, she was kind to her.

If you helped me and didn't kill Reggie again, you wouldn't be a bad person.

Then why is he following the Devil?

That's probably because of the silver witch Kuna we were with.

Anything seems to be the daughter of that demon king.

I'm surprised that that ugly demon king had such a beautiful daughter.

According to Rijena, she came to visit Ariadia with the Dark Knight.

But you can't catch it like you said.

She is undoubtedly involved with ghouls and groundwater monsters.

She was the one who told us to come to the underground waterway.

It seems that she was almost in Nargor, but even if she wasn't there, she wouldn't have a problem if she used the dispenser.

However, I have heard that the silver witch helped Shenna help her brother Dekius.

I am concerned about this two-sided nature.

However, there was no doubt that the Demon King was trying to bring disaster to the country beyond the Ulbald of Damon King (Lord) in the back of the underground waterway.

"I really do. Look at Mr. Shirone too. It's so beautiful."

"That's right... Chiyuki."

I have not seen the play at all, contrary to the reply. It feels like my heart is not here.

It seems impossible to forgive a childhood friend for covering up a silver witch.

Already Shirone. He's being manipulated by a silver witch, so we can't help it. Isn't that right, Mr. Lino?

I seek consent from Reno, who is watching the play together.

"Yeah, I think so. It seems to have been influenced by Lena's psychic magic. Probably was enchanted by a powerful charm."

Reno said that Lena used magic to solve spiritual magic.

Incidentally, spiritual magic has charm and forgetfulness, but Reno doesn't even know what magic was cast on him.

But I must have thought about it normally and cast a magic spell.

Magic of charm is more effective the more attractive the magician is to the subject.

The silver witch was as beautiful as Lena.

If such a beautiful woman were to use enchanting magic, she would be a fighter.

"That's what I'm talking about, Mr. Shirone. But there's hope. It seems that if I'm completely enchanted, I can't solve it, but the fact that Lena's magic worked doesn't mean that it's completely magical. We have a chance to get him back."

That's how I brave Shirone.

"Yes, I know, Mr. Chiyuki."

Shirone replies without strength.

"By the way, I was wondering, isn't it true that I'm not enchanted, and I'm only deluded by the silver witch's fragrance?

It is possible that Nao will do the same.

In the first place, this is what Kaya said.

Kaya is returning to the Republic of St. Lenaria with Kyoka.

There seems to be work left to do.

"Hmm. Because I certainly can't get Croki from a girl. I think there is a good chance that such a beautiful girl will trick you. If Kuroki wasn't enchanted, and he was just being careless, I'd have to punish him with an iron fist."

Shirone makes a grip and laughs "Fufufu."

"Well... Soften your hands."

I stopped the sirone small.

I was a little scared of Shirone's face.

"That's it, Mr. Shirone. His childhood friend doesn't have a bad face, he seems kind, and why can't he get it from a girl?

Lino says strangely.

Sure, that bothered me too. He looks normal, even if she is around.

"Ah, when you see a cute little Croki, you look really lewd. I think that's what people will see."

"That's right...."

Lino's face is a little stronger.

"I'm telling you not to look at it with those eyes, but it seems you can only look at it with those eyes. It seems that I don't want to see it because I have a sense of being hated... And he doesn't want me to feel bad, so he's trying to stay away from me."

Shirone said while holding her forehead down.

"So you're seeing Shirone, too?

Lino listened while pulling a little.

"Yeah, I feel really sick when I go to Croki's room wearing a miniskirt or something. But I wouldn't have the courage to attack, and I'm used to it because I've been dating for a long time."

"That's right...."

I don't know what to say.

"Hmm, I'm sure Lino's fine, but some kids don't like it."

That's true.

The two of them face each other.

"But in that case, even if we get him back, we can't act together....."

That's right, there's resistance to being exposed to sexual sight all the time.

I'll have to ask him to leave a message.

After that, we avoid his topic and watch the play.

On the stage, the princess playing Shenna defeats the witch.

The witch actress was supposed to play Ainoe.

However, Ainoe was taken away by Lesser Damon.

Instead, a masked proxy acts as a witch. Instead of acting as a proxy, it's a famous act.

Eventually the play is over and the actors go back behind the scenes.

"Lord Chiyuki. I heard you were here."

When the stage is over and you try to go home, you can speak up.

"Lord Decius. What's wrong with you?

It was Dekius who came. He should have been chased after the Black Storm. I wonder what happened.

"It's up to me to report the incident because I've finished one paragraph. Speaking of which, I don't think Lord Reggie and Lord Kyoka are here. I'd like to thank you for the reconstruction funding....."

Dekius looks around and says.

Reiji bore half of the requested funds for the reconstruction of the Ariadian Republic.

Well, it's actually Kyoka and Kaya's money. It is in the name of Reiji.

However, I am a little concerned that Rijena also raised funds separately from Kyoka. I am a little concerned about the source of the funds.

"Reiji is in therapy with Sahoko. The wound is fine, but I think I almost lost my magic. That's why I'm resting now."

Reggie is in therapy. And Sahoko is with us.

Life has nothing to do with it, but it seems to have consumed most of his magic in battle with him.

Rage, with his enormous magic powers, could not win after exhausting his magic powers. Once again, I was reminded of the strength of the Dark Knight.

And when magic is depleted, regeneration ability and immunity decrease, making injuries harder to heal and more likely to become ill.

Also, since my body is not injured, I can't recover with healing magic.

There are medicines to restore magic, but there is not enough in this country to restore Reiji's enormous magic. Ellios seems to have it, but it seems Ellios is rare enough to heal Reggie.

If you rest on it, it will heal, so you don't have to go out of your way to use rarities.

As a result, Reggie is now in a special sleep to recover her magic. Well, you'll wake up soon.

Really? I can't help it if I'm not here. Now, to report, the fleeing demons have gone to the Labyrinth and taken possession of the land. "

"Really, the labyrinth....."

The Labyrinth was once ruled by the devil Lavulus.

According to De Kius' report, he has now replaced the land ruled by the Demon King.

But I didn't feel like attacking again.

"And then, the damage. I don't know if I should say I'm lucky, but no one seems to have died among the general public. But some of the freedom fighters who entered the underground waterway didn't come back."

Dekius said with a painful look.

There were a lot of rat men in the groundwaters, a lot of damage from the Freedom Fighters.

If Shenna hadn't whistled, more freedom fighters would have been hurt.

The man who turned into Ratman returned to man with the magic of Sahoko. I'm supposed to be in therapy by now.

However, they don't know if they can undo all the rat mans.

If anyone has a bad ear or a bad foot, they cannot be led to the earth.

Another whistle, but Shenna returned the whistle to the Dark Knight with her sword. That's why there's no whistle in this country right now.

"And Lord Ainoe, they don't know where he is at all. The witch hunters wanted to regret it."

Witch hunters are people who are humans and hunt people who have contracts with Damon and evil gods.

The Ordis, the Feria, and the Leonard Church aspired to create people called witch hunters in danger of witches.

I hear the founder is an Audis priest and a university professor.

They are not officially recognized by the Orthodox Church, etc., but they operate with dignity.

The pursuit is harsh, and it seems to torture.

In addition, if you want to hunt witches, you don't hesitate to accompany people around you who are irrelevant, so you are very scared.

If Einoe is found, she will be severely tortured.

"Ah, enough of her whereabouts. He didn't seem to know anything important... If you find it, you won't be willing to hand it over to the Witch Hunter."

No one cares about her.

Also, if I find it, I won't be willing to hand it over to the Witch Hunter. That's right. You can't torture me.

"That's true. The witch hunter is a little overdone. They even suspected my sister, Shenna."

Dekius said with a slightly angry expression.

My sister must have been suspicious of being a witch.

Shenna didn't have a contract with Damon. The interrogation revealed it, but the witch hunter seemed unconvinced.

That's why I assured Shenna that she wasn't a witch.

The witch hunter also withdrew because I assured her that he was one of the brave men. Otherwise, she might have tortured Shenna.

"Well, anyway, I need to think more. I don't have time to think about Ainoe right now."

I shake my head and answer.

We'll have to find out about the silver witch in the meantime.

I was thinking of a girl with silver hair.

◆ Shenna

"Shenna, what are you doing? I could have done better!!

She went down to the behind the scenes tent and when she was alone, Eira took off her mask and complained.

It seems that my personality will not change even if my face changes at all.

Eira's face is not real. She's changing her face with magic.

So you don't have to wear a mask.

However, if someone with high magic sees it, they will realize that it is magically changing their face.

If she finds out who she is, the witch hunter will come.

I want to avoid that.

That's why they're putting on a mask and doing theatre.

I remember when I was interrogated by a witch hunter.

I was suspected that I had a contract with Damon with the sword he left me.

Of course not.

I mean, they're not Damon, they're more superior.

That's why I don't have a contract with Damon.

But a witch hunter who can't detect lies doesn't know that.

Without my brother and brave man, I might have been tortured.

It was a dangerous place.

Then, the sword and whistle were returned to him through Rijena. It was good before the Witch Hunter interrogated me.

They would have confiscated it if they found it.

"Yes, thank you for your guidance. Aino.... Eira"

I feel like calling her by her real name.

There is no woman named Ainoe anymore. Instead, a woman named Ella was born.

Why she's here is because I asked her to.

If you think about it, this troupe has no one to replace her.

That's why she came back.

Only Commander Midas and I know this.

Commander Midas doesn't care if he's a witch if he can keep playing.

She agreed, of course, to return.

She can't abandon the theater in the first place.

You could have thrived in a much easier way with Lesser Damon.

But she didn't.

Ainoe... now she's Eira, but she must have loved the theater.

That's why I jumped to my suggestion.

In this way, she stands on the stage again.

But, of course, I'm not giving up the lead.

I also decided it was unlikely that she would want my life for one reason or another.

"Are you fighting again?

Someone is coming into our waiting room.

"Mr. Regina!!

"Dear Regina!!

Me and Ella stop arguing.

Rijena is supposed to be our patron. That's why it's not strange to come to us.

"Please stop fighting. My husband asked me to help you."

Rijena looks in trouble.

"I don't like it, Bishop. Nothing to fight about....."

Ella laughs in love.

Eira-san. Shenna is sponsored by her husband. If you want to do harm, be prepared for it. "

Rijena is laughing, but her eyes aren't laughing.

Eira's face was stained with fear. That would be scary. Rijena is an apostle of the Dark Knight who has terrorized Ariadia. Only a few, but you can use the same force. If you care, you can win against dozens of good human fighters.

And for Rijena, his will is absolute. If Eira tries to harm me, she won't be able to keep playing.

That's why you won't imitate my life.

Thanks to the patronage of Regina, who is also connected to the brave of light, the Witch Hunter is unable to investigate us.

Thank you for saving me.

"Um, Regina. If possible, that's it."

Someone suddenly came out of behind Rijena.

Zeal of Lesser Damon with black goat head. Probably hidden.

You too, Mr. Zeal. Thanks to your husband, you were allowed to return to Nargor. Don't do anything against your husband's will. "

"Yes, I know. I can't thank you enough."

Regina says Zeal lowers his head.

This Zeal Lesser Damon is unexpectedly weak. I thought the devil was more terrifying, but he didn't.

Zeal is currently working in the Labyrinth. I must be here to see Ainoe.

I heard about the beginning of Zeal and Ainoe a while ago.

Zeal, who had betrayed the Demon King with all his heart, could not return to Nargor and had been turned into a human and drunk.

At that time, he met Ainoe, who was dancing with the same depression in the tavern.

Zeal seemed to have felt something when she saw the Ainoe and offered her help.

Nevertheless, this has changed the way we view the devil.

The people of this country are afraid of the Dark Knight.

But when I look at the skeleton face when I'm performing the dance, I don't think it's that scary.

I don't think she noticed, but she knows.

Of course, I can't tell my brother about this. Because, in a way, I can call myself a witch.

Unlike Audis and Feria, gods of law, the doctrine of Ishtia, god of love, says to love freely without being tied to anything.

So even a dark knight can love you.

The Dark Knight has returned to the demon king of Nargor.

What are you doing right now?

◆ Wolverd;

I lay down in the midst of the view of the demon king castle.

"Lord Wolverd. I will make the Lord the keeper of the labyrinth."

Your Majesty's orders are given.

The Labyrinth is a place ruled by evil spirits, far from the castle of the demon king.

The same thing happened to me, who was close to His Majesty the Glorious Demon King.

But I have to take it.

"Yes, thank you very much."

I lay face down even more.

I can see Mulenus and Givrus here looking at each other with cold eyes.

I regret it, but I have to endure it.

This is still quite a warm measure. I hear you told me to make everything less guilty.

That's why we have to go to the labyrinth far from Demon King Castle.

Nevertheless, I didn't think you were that strong.

I see Mona next to His Majesty the Demon King.

Morna-sama has a cool face.

He was secretly ordered to make you a deceased man, but it would no longer be possible to carry out his orders.

Your Excellency is too strong. We should not turn to the enemy.

You should give up, too, Morna-sama.

The prudent Ranfeld told you that he was no match for you.

It seems that the lord will get the territory and slow down there.

Your Excellency seems satisfied with that.

I thought once again that I shouldn't anger a big dragon.

◆ Croki

"Thank you, Kuroki. Lord Runfeld saved my life."

Modes returns to thank himself.

Ranfeld is cautious of doing what he wants.

It may be a sweet punishment, but there is no substitute for Ranfeld.

There will be no further punishment.

"No, I don't mind, Modes. Lord Ranfeld is a necessary presence for Nargor. I can't just let myself go. I'm more concerned about the gods....."

Right now, only myself and Modes are in this room of Demon King Castle.

That's why we call each other abandoned.

It's a sight the junkies can't see.

"I know. It must be about Diadonna and the others."

Nod to the words of Modeth.

Snake queen Diadona is the third force against the gods of Modes and Ellios.

And it looks like he's trying to do something in the shadows.

"That's right. I wonder what she's up to."

Remove the whistle from Shenna's hips.

It seems that this whistle can manipulate certain monsters.

Modes says Marman in the Saird Inland Sea has a similar whistle.

Maybe it has something to do with it.

"We're investigating that. I can't let the Lord work all the time. Leave the investigation to others."

Diadona is building forces on the western continent, opposite Nargor.

Modes seems to be sending his men there.

"Thank you, but call me as soon as you can. I'm always ready to move."

That's how I try to get out of the room.

"By the way, it's Croki."

I can be stopped by Modes.

"What is it, Modes?

"What happened with Lena?

"Ugh!!

The moment I heard Lena's name, I froze.

What are you doing!!

I remember what happened in Rox Kingdom!!

At that time Lena used the magic of time. We only postponed time around ourselves.

We'll have spent about two weeks together. And finally, I remember falling apart from each other.

Why did you really forget all that stuff?

Now it burns completely into my brain and doesn't disappear.

I managed to push it into the back of my memory so I wouldn't remember. It reminds me of Lena's Nice Buddy.

Then it won't fit inside.

"What's the matter, what's going on?

"No, I'm fine. There's nothing in particular about Lena."

Actually, something happened, but Lena is the enemy of Modes.

I can't say this.

"Are you sure you're okay, Croki? It looks kind of spicy."

Modes is worried when he sees his condition.

"No, it's nothing. There is no problem. Now then...."

I left the room in pathetic dress.

◆ Kuna

Sit on the throne of the sweet castle that became the castle of Kuna.

The candy throne is smaller to match Kuna's body.

There is a cushion packed with cotton candy so it is not uncomfortable to sit down.

There is no Croki in this castle now. Because it's called the Demon King's Castle.

"How's your new body, Zand?

Ask the clown in front of you.

"Thank you, Kuna. As a puppet, I like the body of a puppet."

Zand dances. It's a funny dance compared to Shenna's.

Well, he deserves it.

I gave Zand a puppet body so he could act. There aren't many Koona tokens.

Let's get him to help us.

I don't have to look at my disgusting face because I'm wearing a clown mask.

"They'll also be useful for Croki and Kuna. Destroy Croki's enemies."

Yes, Master Kuna.

Croki is a little too gentle.

I forgive those who aim for my own life.

That's why Kuna became cruel.

Touch the ring in Kuna's hand.

This ring is a bond with Croki and ties Kuna at the same time.

That's why we need someone who moves instead.

"For the time being, keep an eye on the brave. Don't get noticed, Zand. You got it."

Yes ~

That's how Zand disappears. Zand, who can get in and out without noticing the border, should be useful for intelligence.

Well, it's time for Croki to come back. I'll have to pick you up.

Bring your feet to the clothing room.

"Now, what shall we wear today?"

I learned a lot from Shenna. I'm sure Kuroki will be pleased.

With that in mind, the lower abdomen becomes hot.

Croki belongs to Kuna. Don't give it to anyone.

And, of course, to Lena, the goddess of wisdom and victory who showed up at that time.

"But who is that goddess? Why is it the same as Kuna?

◆ Lana;

"Dear Lena, I'd rather not be so reckless...."

Nia is worried about me.

Nia knows I'm pregnant. I don't even know who the father is.

You must rest because you are pregnant.

But I had to move.

"I know, Nia. Now it's time to rest."

As soon as I retreated Croki and the others, I returned to Ellios. Now it's time to rest.

"Absolutely, Reina. Now, if anything happens, I want you to call someone on my side."

Nia leaves the room.

"Well, now we have to rest. And I have to make excuses not to leave the room."

I touch my stomach.

It's a secret that you're pregnant. Only those with a narrow mouth know.

If they find out, there will be noise around Thors. I want to avoid that.

From now on, my stomach will get bigger and it will be impossible to get out of the room.

If she sees a grown stomach, she'll know she's pregnant.

Therefore, it is necessary to consider the reason for not leaving the room.

In the meantime, let's say that Rage, who is mistaken for my favorite, is trapped in the room with a heartbreaking sense of defeat.

"I wonder why I have to do such a troublesome thing. I'll make it up to you, Croki...."

I laughed when I remembered how Croki looked back then.
