◆ Dark Knight Croki
"Ugh... It's not going to work. Professor Kuroki....."
Pollen crawled on the ground and mourned.
Apparently Pollen is as clumsy as herself.
"Your Highness, please don't be depressed. You just have to get the tools back."
Petuna finally recovers from Pollen's farewell and comforts Pollen.
"Uh-huh. Pu-chan..."
Pollen destroyed all the training tools she had.
I can't train my sword with this.
But still, it's a great power.
Every time Pollen waves a wooden sword, a hole opens in the ground.
The sword's talent is probably the most powerful class in the world.
However, every time the wooden sword shakes for this reason, it disappears.
Pollen is depressed about it.
"Your Highness, don't be depressed! No one can do it right from the start!!
I'll tell a lie.
According to the story, Reggie was the one who could do anything from the beginning.
That's why some people can do it right from the beginning, bitch. and tears in your heart.
"Really...?
Encourage Pollen to look at herself with tears.
"Yes, I didn't succeed at first either. And as we practiced over and over again, we were able to do it well."
This is true.
I wasn't the type to do anything from the start.
For a moment, I sometimes wondered if it was pointless for me to work hard.
But nothing changes when you're depressed.
Humans are not equal.
All I have to do is compete with the cards I have. Even if it's a pig.
"So, Your Highness will certainly be able to do well."
That's how I took Pollen's hand and caused it.
Pretty heavy.
Pollen is considerably smaller than herself.
However, I feel like I have many times more weight than myself.
"Yes! I'll do my best!!
Pollen holds her hand and says forcefully.
Oh no... My hands are about to collapse.
"Yes, let's do our best"
But answer as if it was nothing.
Isn't that an interesting combination?
I can speak up.
Me and Pollen see the Lord of Voices.
Now Pollen, the Son of the Demon King, is using the Training Ground. No one should get anywhere near here.
"Ugh! Grandma!!
"Hey, hellkat!!
Pollen and Petuna panicked as they watched her voice.
"This is Hercules. It's been a long time."
He thanketh him who cried out.
The Lord of Voices is a helmet called the Great Witch of the Marsh.
She looks like an upright frog with three heads.
Like Lugas, she is a tribe of gods subordinate to Demon King Modes.
From the standpoint, it is second only to the demon king, and it is a personality.
By the way, I'm Modes' foster care clerk, and Modes can't even get her head up.
Many people are afraid of her because even the Demon King cannot raise his head.
"Um... Grandma. Why are you here? It's supposed to be in the eastern marshes...."
I sweat cold from Pollen's face.
She was Modes' foster care clerk and Pollen's foster care clerk. Just like Modes, Pollen doesn't seem to have a head in her helmet.
Helkart usually lives in a poisonous swamp far east of Demon King Castle and rarely comes out.
I've met him once in the past.
That's why it's so unusual for her to be here.
"It's been a long time since the drawer cage came out, and I heard from the female beetles (Empusa) and came to see how they were doing. Geogero geogero"
Helkart laughs like a frog.
"Uh-huh. Do something extra."
The females are members of Helkart's family. Through them, Helkart will be able to learn about Demon King Castle.
"Hercules. Kuna took care of me this time."
I thank myself.
Hell carts can only take disciples from women.
I learned something from the Hell Cart to make Kuna stronger.
She is proficient in medicine and herbalism. Lugas, the god of knowledge, is no match in this field.
Ellios' physician and herbal goddess, Fanacare, also learned her powers.
I hear, however, that she had a bad relationship with the goddess of marriage and childbirth, Feria, the mother of Fanacare.
And after Modes left Ellios, there was no interaction.
"Oh, I don't mind. It was a black storm, and she was a very difficult girl to teach."
Helkart says not to wave his hand.
"Well, that's good."
Actually, I was worried about sending Kuna back to Helkart for training.
I wanted to go with you, but Helkart only apprentices basic women. That's why I couldn't go with you.
That's why I'm relieved to hear that.
"But when I look away, I don't know what to do. You're in trouble, too. That's right, we're here at the corner. Let's go see him too. Do you mind?
"Yes, I don't mind."
"Um, what are you talking about?
Pollen, who doesn't know about Kuna, leans her neck.
"Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Rather than that, it's noon. Let's eat together for the first time in a long time."
◆ Pollen, Princess of the Demonic Realm
In the Nebula is the cafeteria of Demon King Castle.
However, unlike among the dark holes where your father, the demon king, eats, it is the dark knights under his command who eat.
But now it's just us.
The reason is that I was reluctant.
The black marble ceiling contains jewels with various stars and represents a nebula.
The jewelry shines by itself, and this room is always bright.
The large dining table is lined with grandmother's favorite bug dishes.
Insects are fresh from the dark forest south of Nargor.
I put my favorite giant locust fried into my mouth.
The aromatic flavor is tangled with the finest oil and is very delicious.
I looked at Dr. Kuroki.
Diet hasn't progressed.
I feel like I haven't eaten a twentieth of mine.
I don't eat more than my grandmother, who loves stewed rotting flies, or Pu, who has a nest full of bees on her cheeks.
"What's wrong? Doctor, you don't seem to be eating very well.
"No, Your Highness Pollen. Don't worry about it. I usually don't eat much."
The teacher eats all the vegetables that are served for cooking.
"In other words, you prefer vegetables and fruits to meat. And it's an amazing snack."
Pu-chan explains.
"It's a waste. It's so delicious."
That's how I fill my mouth with the sweet and spicy stew of a small worm.
"Pollen. You ate a little too much. Because the meat is stuck together. The sword doesn't work."
"Ugh!!
My aunt embarrasses me.
Actually, I thought so myself.
When I shake the sword, the flesh of my joints gets in the way and I can't shake it well. Maybe you should lose weight.
But I don't want to put up with my favorite sweets.
It is blissful to fall asleep and eat your favorite thinly sliced dark garlic.
There's no way to stop that.
So I'm going to change the subject.
"Speaking of which, I didn't eat with your father... Bhihihi"
I try to change the subject by laughing and deceiving myself.
"You haven't changed since you were a kid. As soon as it gets worse, I turn my back on the subject."
Grandma exhales.
But it seemed like a sight for the grandmother.
"Your Highness, why don't you eat with me, Mode?
The teacher sounds worried.
That's a very serious look.
I'm thrilled to see it with such eyes.
"Er... that's... I don't know what to say after a fight... it's hard to face each other..."
I feel my heart beating faster as I say it.
"I see... Yes, Your Highness. What is your favorite?
After the teacher thought a little, he suddenly listens to your father's favorite.
I think I've come up with something.
What is it? I don't know, but I'll tell you what.
"Er, your father certainly liked Kraken cuisine...."
Remember the old days and say it.
I feel like I was drinking a lot of alcohol while eating Kraken cooking.
Really? Good evening, Your Highness. Would you like to go get Kraken?
"Let me, teacher?! What happened suddenly?!!
I'm in a hurry.
Kraken is a great sea beast living in the North Sea.
I hear it's quite a hassle to go for it. The difficulty is too high for me in the drawer.
"We will give Kraken to His Majesty and have dinner with him. What about making up for it?
The teacher nodded well and said with a full smile.
It was very refreshing.
◆ Silver Witch Coona
Kuna and the others are in Kroki's mansion in Nargor.
There are Knight Guno and other women in this Mansion, so it is not suitable for private conversation.
However, as long as there is no sweet castle, we have to get a report here.
I'm telling Guno and the others to stay away from the room.
So it will be okay for a while.
"The brave men are moving slowly. What do you mean, Zand?
"Hmm. I don't know, Kuna, but I'm sure we're on our way."
The clowny Xando waltzes himself.
I'm even more frustrated by how it looks.
It seems certain that the brave men are heading for the confectionery castle, but the movement is too slow.
Kuna doesn't like being kept waiting except for Croki.
What are you doing, brave man?
As a matter of fact, I think it's a sight to see how stupid Datier confronts the brave.
"Zand, Kuna hates to be kept waiting. Go check it out. Hurry up the braves, if you can."
"Ha ha. Dear Kuna ~"
That's how the clowning disappears.
"What are you doing?"
Kuna leaves the room.
Well, I have time for Croki to come back. How do we squander time?
"Dear Kuna! Master Kuna!!
After a while, the Tibbell of the Dark Fairy flew in a hurry.
"What's the matter, Tibel? What's all this noise?
May flies, but this haste is unusual.
"Dear Kuna! Oh, my God! A big frog has arrived!!"
"What?!!
Kuna panicked at the words.
There is only one person Tiber calls the Great Frog, the Great Witch Hellcart of the Marsh.
Tiberias, females (empusa) and Todmans under the helmet are natural enemies to Fairy. You probably don't want me to come.
If you listen carefully, you can see that the fairies who live in this mansion on their own are in a hurry.
"Noisy, Tibel. If you don't want to see me, stay back."
That said, Kuna goes to the reception room.
I'm going to meet Hellcart here.
"Excuse me. Even so, it's kind of a noisy house."
The Hell Cart comes in after being guided by Damon's Guno.
The Great Witch of the Marsh Hell Kurt is even the Devil at a glance. You can't push him back like Guno.
That's why I'll show you inside the Mansion.
"Hell cart... What are you doing here?
Kuna sits on the chair in the reception room and responds.
My husband, Kuroki, is supposed to sit down. But Croki isn't here right now.
So Kuna, the mistress, sits in this seat.
"Call me Master. Silver. Definitely Morna. I wonder if all the goddesses who were created are distorted. After all, you shouldn't use that secret. Let me warn you, Modesty boy."
Hellcart shook his head and sat face to face.
Kuna had been an apprentice in the Hell Cart before.
I don't like this woman, but her knowledge is comparable to that of Lugas. It will be exceeded in some fields.
I'm sure this witch has improved my ability as a bug. I'll treat you with a little courtesy.
Well then, Master. What are you doing here?
Turn your eyes sharply and coldly with all your might.
But this witch is flat.
"That's right, be vigilant. Silver. I simply came to see how things were going. I understand the Dark Knight of the Black Storm."
Helkart's black storm is Croki.
I'm sorry to Kuroki, but I wanted him to say no if he could.
"Well, if you've seen how it goes, that's good enough. Why don't you go home? Master"
"That's not going to work. What are you doing hiding?
Hellcart's sixth eye catches Kuna. I know my mouth is laughing, but my eyes aren't laughing.
"I have nothing to hide."
Kuna glances back at the helmet from the front.
"I'm not hiding it. Are you going to tell me that you didn't say anything?"
"What are you talking about?
"It's about the pale forest. Looks like the braves are on their way. Shouldn't I report it to the Black Storm?
Honestly, I'm surprised.
This witch is not at all alarmed.
Currently, Kuroki is supposed to handle all the heroes, including gathering information.
However, since Kuroki does not have the ability to gather information, Kuna does everything.
That's why we have to let Kuroki know that the brave are approaching.
How does Helkart know the information he didn't share with Kuroki?
"Well, now you know. Fairy is a chatter. It's easier if you listen with a little magic and eavesdrop. Geogero"
Helkart laughs when he says so.
"Hmm. I don't need to report it to Kuroki. Datie deserves it."
Datier deserved to trick Croki.
But Gentle Croki will forgive such a datier.
That's why I don't want to tell Kuroki.
"Well, that's true. Perhaps a good medicine for that color madness. But I'm an idiot and a disciple of this mother-in-law. Do you mind if I go help you a little bit? Silver?"
Datier was once a disciple of Helkart.
That's why I knew how to make aphrodisiacs.
Helkart seems to be going to help Datier.
"Hmm, I don't mind, Master. But the brave are strong. Better than the master."
According to the story, when the heroes attacked before, Croki was evacuated before Helkart fought, so he didn't fight.
But no doubt the brave are stronger than the Hell Cart.
Hell cart is strong, but I don't think I can win.
In the first place, only Croki or Demon King can beat the brave.
"It certainly seems so. Well, I'll run when it's too close. I'm going to have that kind of power. Geogero"
That's how Helkart laughed.
