Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

◆ Sword Maiden Shirone

"Welcome to Argoa. It's been a long time, Shirone. What's going on today?

Omiros lowers his head to me.

I am now coming to the Kingdom of Argoa.

With my wings, we can reach the Kingdom of Argoa from the camp in about an hour.

The reason is to come and see Omilos.

"Long time no see. Mr. Omilos, I'm just here today to see how this country is doing. Is everything all right?

I hear what's going on when I come to this country on business.

"Yes, the crops aren't as good as last year... That's not what it means, is it? Nothing in particular has changed. There's Daigan, and I think it's peaceful."

Omilos answers with a smile.

And there's a middle-aged man standing in front of you.

He looks human, but he's a werewolf.

Hi, I think I'm in this country.

"Hmm. A werewolf. Unusual? You didn't do anything wrong."

I close my eyes and ask Daigan.

This wolf has done terrible things to humans before. I don't think I'll change my mind suddenly.

"Hehe. I don't like it. I don't do anything bad. If you do that, he'll kill you. Instead, I'm told to protect this country."

Daigan laughs thinly.

According to Chiyuki, werewolves are surprisingly loyal. They listen to what the Lord has acknowledged.

"Yes. Well, if Croki ordered that, would it be okay?

Croki is gentle, so he won't do anything bad unless there's a silver witch involved.

I will trust you.

"That's right. It's okay. And I'll let you know when something strange happens in this country... Whoa!!

She looked at Daigan as if he had lost his gun.

I think I said something I shouldn't have said.

"What's wrong? You don't have a problem calling Croki for help, do you?

Croki is going to defend this country at Rijena's request.

That's why I'm putting Daigan down. And I suppose you're going to move yourself if you want to.

That shouldn't be a problem.

"Huh? Um... If that's all right with you...."

Daigan looks strange.

"What? I said something weird.

"No! That's not true! Hehe"

Daigan laughs. the smile seemed to contain something

What the hell is that?

But there's nothing I can do about it.

"Um, by the way, Mr. Shirone? It was sudden, so I didn't prepare anything in particular. Do I have to have a banquet?

Omilos says sorry. [M]

"It's fine. It's my fault I came suddenly. And it's been a long time since I saw Riet. Are you sure you married Mr. Omilos? Congratulations."

I see Riet who became Princess of the King next to Omilos.

"Yes, thank you. Dear Shirone,

That's how Riet bows gracefully.

It turned into an adult after not looking at it for a while. I looked old when I met you the other day.

Will getting married still change?

If it were Japan, Riet could not marry at her age.

However, there are many countries in this world where the age of marriage is not legally bound, and it is not uncommon to marry at Riet's age.

But I feel a little lonely.

Well, I'm glad he's happy.

"Um, Shirone-sama. Um...."

Omilos asks me something, worrying about Riet.

I know what you want to hear. I'm talking about Rijena.

"Mr. Rijena is doing well in Ariadia."

Omilos looks reassured when I say so.

"Really? I wish I was doing well...."

"Omiros-kun...."

It makes me feel kind of desperate.

Maybe I've been worried about it for a long time.

"Hey! Lord Shirone, the Republic of Ariadia! I'm sure it's a big country far west of here?!!

Suddenly Riet stopped at me.

Looks like he's back in the kid, unlike before.

"Uh-huh. Surely the biggest country I've ever seen?

"Wow, that's good. I want to go see it too."

Riet glanced at the ceiling with sparkling eyes.

Those eyes are like a girl who admires the city.

Even though it is quite far away, the name of the Republic of Ariadia seems to be known in the Kingdom of Argoa.

If you were born in the less entertained Kingdom of Argoa, you might want to go and see it.

Riet doesn't seem to think about Rijena anymore.

I'm a little relieved to know that.

"Hey, Riet. What do you mean, you're the next queen? Damn, I thought you might be an adult. You're a kid after all."

"Oh, my God, Brother Maxis! I can't help but go and see!!

Riet gets angry at his brother, Maxis.

At first I was surprised, but apparently Riet hasn't changed much.

Unexpectedly, a smile spills.

Omilos laughed too.

"Oh, my God! Everybody!!"

Riet's cheeks swell up.

The look was cute and everyone laughed on the spot.

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

As the sun goes down, the warriors spend each night.

Well, it's not uncommon for most of the warriors to drink and make a scene.

Wherever we are, the voice can be heard.

I don't think drinking alcohol during the march is a good thing.

That seems to be what the generals, Porthos, think, but they're not going to say anything in particular.

Of course, some serious warriors don't drink.

Serious warriors tend to their weapons and practice fighting.

There are many ways to practice martial arts. They also practice swords with captured goblins.

Of course, Goblins are bare hands, but it would be better to fight the opponent alive and resisting.

This is how freedom fighters, as well as knights and soldiers, practice.

Sometimes it's like fighting a bull.

"Hey, Chiyuki. Look, he's watching."

Reno next to me laughs and tells me.

We're having dinner with the Portos.

The food is lined up in front of me.

The special dishes for royalty and nobility are not portable foods for warriors and soldiers, bread is not hard, and soup is not salty.

In addition, the meals during the march will be the most luxurious because they will finally enter tomorrow.

It even carries a bard song.

Reno means the bard.

This bard was absent until yesterday.

We've come this far to see Raige anyway.

The bard wants to compose songs of brave men and heroes. I wonder if that's what he said.

But that's not particularly unusual. There are many bards who want to write Reiji songs.

However, this bard is unusual.

Above all, he is a beautiful boy.

A nose that runs through rough hair. The shape of the face is also perfect. The voice is beautiful, and not only us but everyone on the spot is listening to the hero he sings.

Sometimes he looks at us in a meaningful way. Those eyes are glossy.

As a result, Reno makes a loud noise beside him.

Reno is not the only one making noise. The women who came to take care of us are also making noise.

Reggie may not be funny. As far as his expression is concerned, he pretends to be calm, but he doesn't know what's inside.

When his song is over, applause comes to a boil.

He comes here after singing.

"Nice to meet you, Herr Reiji. I missed you."

The bard's eyes are pointed straight at Rage.

Reno and the women around her started staring at each other.

"This is going to be a picture, Chiyuki."

I can't keep an eye on Nao even if it's not too noisy.

Unfortunately, I don't feel that way about my own Reiji. If I had, I would have taken great care of my eyes.

Raj's face, greeted by the bard, looks unchanged. Nothing unusual.

"That's good. Who's there? You're not human, are you?

It was the moment Reggie said so. The bard plays the harp small.

What?

Lino's hasty voice.

Because Lino and Nao stopped moving except for me and Raige.

Porthos' eyes are falling apart. The same goes for the others.

Definitely magic. It must have been the bard in front of him who triggered the magic.

Who are you?

"That's the brave man of light. You know what Lena just called you. I can't believe you realized who I am."

"No, I don't know who it is. But I know you're not just a person. Who are you, sex man?

Rage stood up and laughed invincibly.

This is the face of the battle. We stand up against him, too.

"I'm not going to fight you right now. Rage of Light. Don't even look at the beautiful ladies. My name is Alphonse. It's Lena's brother."

That's what I said and I smiled.

Very nice smile. Lino sighs to me and Nao, of course.

And the name Alphonse sounds familiar.

Alphonse, the god of song and art.

Rumor has it that Ellios is the most beautiful man in the world.

And Lena's brother, the goddess of wisdom and victory. I can't believe that God appeared before us.

I see Alphonse.

Alphonse shows that he doesn't have the will to fight with his right hand open while holding the harp in his left hand.

"I see, Lena's brother. You certainly look alike. So, you wanted to see me because you're my sister's lover?

"That's right. I came here to see the rumored lover. But it didn't make any sense."

"What? What do you mean?

"It means exactly what you say. I don't think you're Lena's lover. That's why I'm here to verify it. I thought I'd be satisfied if I met him and talked to him...."

Alphonse shakes his head.

The movement is also elegant.

"Even if you're not convinced, that's the truth. I know how you don't want your cute little sister to get picked up by other guys."

Reggie said with full confidence.

"Really... Well, let's just say that. But there are a lot of other people who don't agree with me. What if they challenge you to a match?

Alphonse stared at Rage.

Rage takes his gaze from the front.

"Of course! I'll beat everyone!!

"Wow, you're so confident. There are a lot of them."

"I won't back off if I bet on Lena. It's the fate of a man who was loved."

Reggie answers confidently.

"You're so confident. Don't you doubt Lena's love?"

"Of course!! I think it's fate for me and Lena to meet!!

I think it's amazing to hear that in a way. How can you be so confident?

Well, it sounds like Reiji.

"Really... Then I won't say anything more. I hope you'll take their challenge. I'm looking from the side. [M] Oh, yeah. I'll give you one piece of advice. If you are challenged to a match, it is better not to kill only the man with the black lion. If you want to get Lena's love."

Alphonse smiles meaningfully.

"What is that? That's the way it sounds like I'm not loved by Lena."

But Alphonse won't answer.

"I gave you my advice. Hero of Light"

Alphonse plays the harp again.

Then, the figure disappears like a dazzle.

"What the hell is this? It seems that there was a bard a while ago. Lord Chiyuki, what the hell is going on?

When Alphonse disappears, Porthos and the others begin to move.

"Nothing. General Porthos, only a whimsical god has left."

When I say so, Porthos leans his neck.

But it's troublesome to explain.

"Wow, that was beautiful. Chiyuki."

Reno tells me pleasantly.

I'm sure you'll be glad to see a raise-like beauty after a long time.

"I see. It certainly was beautiful....."

And what did he come here for anyway? I just noticed that.
