◆ Dream Shirone

I enter the room of Kuroki, which I know for myself.

"Oh, you're still asleep, Croki."

He murmured as he stepped into the room.

I'm sure Croki is still asleep.

It's already 8: 00 in the morning.

Though it's a holiday, isn't it too much sleep?

This is unusual.

Croki, in other words, lives a regular life.

For this reason, it often happens early even on holidays.

But I'm sleeping only today.

What does that mean? Well, just wake him up.

Get close to the bed.

Because it is summer, Croki sleeps only on his shirt and trunk.

The towel is stiff and Croki's forged arm is peeling out.

Looks like he's trained again.

Well, I guess I regretted losing to Reiji. [M]

And I regret it.

"I used to be stronger..."

Whatever I did, I was above Croki.

The sword and the running and the climbing of the tree remind me that I cried many times.

But if I fight Croki now, I will lose.

It's very regrettable.

There are no more weepy crooks. It's a little lonely.

"Don't grow up without me at all...."

I am not allowed to grow Croki.

Kuroki is always a small boy in me.

And look at Croki's lower body.

Croki's big stuff couldn't fit in and came out of the trunk.

Especially here, you don't have to grow. You've grown too much. It's not cute.

Think about that.

Well, it's time to wake up.

"Hey!! Croki!! Wake up!!

I shake Croki.

But Croki has no sign of waking up.

I promised to go shopping today.

I plan to buy swimsuits to go to Reiji's villa.

Chiyuki and a beautiful woman named Kyoka-san go together.

I want to buy a swimsuit that is not embarrassing.

"Hey, Croki! Wake up! I'll show you later when I get my bathing suit!

When I say so, Croki's lower body trembles.

And Croki suddenly opened his eyes.

"Good morning, Shirone! I thought you said you'd show me your swimsuit. Really?

Unexpectedly, it's going to happen.

I knew Croki wasn't growing up.

This part hasn't changed since before.

"That's not true! What are you sleeping with? Oh, my God! Wake up!

I sigh.

I tried to show it to you at first, but Croki was too lewd, so I stopped feeling like that.

Croki is lying on the bed.

When will it happen?

Wake up?

So I get caught up in something.

I felt like I had to wake up myself, not Croki.

You can hear me calling from afar.

This voice is Chiyuki's voice.

In addition, Reiji, Sahoko, Reno, Nao-chan, Kyoka-san and Kaya also call me by my name.

Oh, yes...

I have to wake up.

Your consciousness is getting a little clearer.

When I wake up, I see a white ceiling.

It's not my room in Japan.

This is my room in another world.

Nearby, Chiyuki peeks into my face worried.

"Mr. Shirone! Good, you're awake!

Chiyuki is looking at me with a crying eye.

"What's wrong? Chiyuki, what happened?

When I heard that, Mr. Chiyuki had a hot face.

"What... Shirone-san! You are poisoned by the Scorpion God! I've been asleep! We were all worried!

I am surprised at the words.

Speaking of which, I don't remember what happened after the battle at the confectionery castle.

"That's right. Shirone. I was worried that the antidote would not wake me up from the water magic. But I'm glad I woke up."

Reggie looks relieved.

Everyone else looks relieved.

It seems that I worried everyone.

"It's the antidote, but Reiji and Chiyuki went to Gypsy Seal to make the antidote. Looks like it was pretty tough."

Kaya will supplement it.

That way, I'll be saved by the two of you.

"That's right. Thank you, Reggie, and Mr. Chiyuki."

When I say so, Reggie looks in trouble. [M]

In contrast, Lino laughs meaningfully.

"Fufu ~. Actually, Mr. Shirone. I was able to get the antidote. Thanks to Shirone's childhood acquaintance."

Lino says pleasantly.

Tilt your neck to the word.

"Childhood familiar? Kuroki?"

What does that mean?

Aren't you and Chiyuki the ones who went to get the antidote?

"Mr. Shirone. That's it....."

Nao-chan explains.

I don't know where I fell, but Croki was acting to get the antidote apart from Reggie and Chiyuki.

Then he fought the Scorpion God who stabbed me and cut off his tail.

"Yes, Kuroki did it for me...."

It warms my heart that Kuroki acted for me.

"That's good. Mr. Shirone."

Sahoko, who is hungry, tells me with a little tear.

Sahoko is as happy as he is.

I'll be happy, too.

"Thank you, Sahoko."

Kuroki worked hard to help me.

After all, Croki is gentle.

The crook is not here. I'm so sorry about that.

"Hey, Kaya. After all, Mr. Kuroki seems to be the man I thought he was. I don't think it's the beast you're talking about. I want you to come to us."

Kyoka-san nods well.

I don't know about the beast, but I agree that Kuroki will come to us.

"Lady, she did save Shirone. But the beast inside him is absolutely dangerous. The opposite is true."

Kaya disagrees with Kyoka.

This is very unusual.

What happened while I was sleeping?

"Kaya. Croki can be naughty, but it's not dangerous. I promise. Hey, you think so too, Chiyuki?

I looked at Chiyuki.

Croki worked hard to save me. Chiyuki would have understood.

However, there was a slight sweat on Chiyuki's cheek.

"Well, his beast could certainly be dangerous... Brulun...."

Chiyuki looks very troubled and agrees with Kaya.

Everyone else looks surprised when they hear the words.

I'm sure everyone was surprised.

Chiyuki agreed to get Croki back before.

And what does that mean?

"Hey, Chiyuki? What's the matter with you? You were in favour of getting Croki back, weren't you? What's going on here? What's a brulun?

I get up and stand in front of Chiyuki.

However, Chiyuki turned away at random.

"No... I don't know... When he comes here, it's a little too stimulating for me...."

"Bye! I don't know! Chiyuki! What happened?!

Put your hand on Chiyuki's shoulder.

But Chiyuki turned away and didn't answer anything.

◆ Tona the Goddess of Knowledge and Books

"Nice to meet you. My daughters."

Mother Feria smiles at us.

Now, in Ellios' Tengu, Lena and I are sitting in front of our mother.

Tea and sweets are lined up in front of you.

The sweets are cute with plenty of cherry blossoms.

It seems like it would suit a rose tea that smells just as good.

"What's going on today? Master Feria?

Lena laughed gracefully.

Sure, what's going on?

When I was in the library as usual, suddenly my mother's use came.

It seems that my mother is calling for everything.

If you don't listen to me, the aftermath will be troublesome, so I decided to go out reluctantly.

When I got to Tengu, Lena was just where she came from.

I'm surprised at that.

I didn't expect Lena to be called along.

"Actually, Tona and Lena. I just got word from Funa that Thors is awake. This is also your shadow. I called you today to work on it."

That's what my mother says and laughs.

"Yes, my brother woke up... I'm glad."

I am relieved.

That's my sister.

My sister Fanacare is a doctor and a herbal goddess.

Even if it does not reach the Great Witch Hell Cart, its arm is certain.

As long as we have the ingredients, we can make the antidote.

"Thanks to you, too. Thank you very much."

I leaned slightly against the mother's words.

I don't seem to know that I borrowed the help of Kuroki, the Nargolian.

It seems that Lena didn't tell me about Croki.

What are you going to do?

Well, it seems that Lena also used Croki to save the Light Warrior, so I'm not going to be told what I did.

Maybe Lena didn't tell her mother about the past, too.

"No, Master Feria. I only helped a little at the end. I'm not doing anything to be complimented."

Lena says modestly.

You're a good kid in front of your mother.

"No, Lena. Aren't you worried about Tona? Rumors of bad relationships were different, right? I was very relieved."

My mother seems very happy.

Me and Lena don't get along well, but in front of my mother, they keep each other quiet.

That's why my mother doesn't know who Lena and I really are.

"You are sisters. Treat each other with compassion and work together to confront hardship. It must not be."

My mother looks at me and Lena while drinking tea.

I accidentally looked at Lena's face.

Lena has a delicate face. I'm sure I look just as subtle.

I am in trouble even if I am told that I am a sister.

"Fufu, I'm sure you're connected deep. Maybe he likes the same prince."

My mother says pleasantly as she eats sweets.

I couldn't help but scream that it didn't happen.

I will never like the hero of light.

He is certainly of an astonishing beauty.

But I prefer Croki.

I love Kuroki.

And Croki beat Lena's boyfriend, Lena.

My beloved man beat Lena's beloved man.

I'm glad about that.

I feel bad because I am using Croki. However, this thought could not be stopped.

I'm sure I have a bad personality.

I can't laugh at Lena's belly black.

Gently touch your stomach.

I feel warm when I think about Kuroki.

I remember a bit of a rough Gypsy night.

Looking gently at Lena, she looked at us too.

The eyes were somewhat surprising.

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

I'm in the library somehow escaping Mr. Shirone's pursuit.

There's no way I can explain Brulun.

Let's stay here for a while.

And I'll sort out the information I gathered before the antidote arrives.

I have a copy of the materials from the Gypsy Seal.

Read it and exhale.

"What do you want, Mr. Chiyuki? Exhale?

"Wow?!

All of a sudden I was called from behind, so I suddenly shouted.

Soon Nao will be behind me.

"Hey, Mr. Nao? Why are you here? Since when?

"It's been a while. More than that? What were you reading and exhaling?

Nao looks at the materials at hand.

"Oh, this is it. I had a little doubt about it, so I gathered a lot of materials, and I don't understand why anymore. And I was sighing."

"What do you doubt?

"That's right. For example, gypsies. I didn't mention the myth of St. Lenalian, so I checked it out."

The mythology I studied in the archives of the Republic of St. Lenaria does not contain any description of gypsies.

That's why we gathered the materials from the gypsies.

So, how was it?

"The result was just a headache. According to gypsy mythology, the world was created by Urshalus and Sekhmetra's brothers and sisters. And there was no mention of the Demon King Modes in Lena or Audis, the god."

Nao looks surprised when I say so.

"It's kind of contradictory. Surely it wasn't the gods of Ellios who created this world? I don't know what you're talking about.

"That's what I want to hear. I've heard that from Ishtia, but I think she's the one who created this world. I don't even know if I'm serious."

Remember the conversation with Ishtia and hold your head.

She doesn't get along well with what she thinks of the past in the first place.

In the first place, Ishtia is said to be a goddess of lies.

As long as it's interesting, I don't care about the truth.

What do you think we should do next time we talk about Lino? Reno-chan should know if you're lying. "

I shook my head at Nao's words.

"I've thought about it, but if you use the magic of lies, neither will Lino. In fact, she can do it."

Among the blessings of Ishtia is the protection of falsehood.

There's no way she can't use the magic herself.

Use false magic to deceive false perceptions.

In this case, if Lino's magic outweighs Ishtia's magic, he can sense a lie, but Ishtia seems to have high magic.

Reno's lie detection capabilities may not help.

"I really don't know what to believe."

"Really...."

Nao is right.

Each speaks his or her own thoughts.

I have read a novel called "Inside the Moon," but that's exactly what it is.

Because each is contradictory and complex, it is difficult to capture the truth.

I guess we'll just have to look into the tunnel and pick out the information.

"Well, that's how it ends."

Nao and I sigh together.

"That's right. If you don't know, there's another one."

Nao clapped his hands like he remembered.

"Don't know? I wonder what that is.

Is there anything else?

"What's a brulun? Actually, Mr. Shirone asked me to ask him."

When I heard that, I fell off my chair.

◆ Raina the Goddess of Wisdom and Victory

Return to my room from Tengu.

After all, I didn't tell Feria about Croki's relationship with Tona.

Because I also saved Reiji with the help of Kuroki.

Besides, I'm not going to admit that Croki and Tona are friends.

That's why I won't say anything.

Besides, that cowardly Tona can't do anything bold. That's why nothing happened.

I can tell myself that.

"Mmm!

When I entered the room, the bat stuck to my leg as I walked around.

"Welcome back, Miss Lana. Apparently, I noticed you were coming back."

Receive a report from Denebola, the warmaiden who was taking care of Kouki.

The bat grows bigger and bigger.

It will be difficult to grow up in my palace like this.

I want to keep the presence of the bat as secret as possible.

Poor thing about Kouki, but I need to keep it somewhere.

But where do you keep it?

To Kuroki, my father? You can't do that! Kouki becomes the Dark Knight.

So where are you going?

It's the only place I can find it.

A human country called Eldo made by Reiji and Chiyuki.

I'll leave it in my temple built there.

The bat that inherits my blood has power. Therefore, it stands out in ordinary human countries.

But it won't stand out on the side of the equally powerful Raige.

Hold the candle while thinking about such a thing.

He looks happy.

"Kouki, you're a strong kid, so you can put up with it. Be a fine knight to protect your mother."

That's how I smiled at the bat.
