BLACK MOON - Black Magic War Beginning with Jailbreak - [Full story illustration available]

Episode 5: The Vulture/Vulture

At a gentle afternoon, Bell, Lili and Allen were busy with their new companions. Both Judy and Rocco were unique people, different from the people they had met before. Bell will now perform the tasks assigned to him as the Knights of the Black Mages (Grigori). In it, I guess I'll get involved with them even if I don't want to.

After a while, Knight was visiting the five of us.

"Mr. Knight! With that said, did you get those black glasses?

When I saw Knight's face, the first thing that came to mind on Bell's head was Isaac's face. Bell couldn't help but wonder where that disturbing man was going.

"Hi, Mr. Bell. Yeah, Isaac's been safely caught. He gave up running away as soon as he saw me."

Bell could easily imagine Isaac's condition at that time from Knight's words. I'm sure even Isaac is afraid of Knight's black magic (Grimore). Knight's black magic (Grimoire) was the strongest thing Bell knew.

"Oh, really? So he's still in this city?

"No, I'm in a Diostra flight airship by now. He moves faster than anyone else."

When he heard Knight's reply, Bell looked a little sorry. Isaac is Bell's first master. He would have liked to see me face to face again with the master who left without even looking at me.

Judy was surprised to see Bell having a friendly conversation with Knight, Captain M-12. Judy is looking down on Bell, but he seems to be more of a man than she can imagine.

"Ah, to Mr. Argin, Mr. Paradi. Can I have a word?

Knight goes on to speak to Grigori Sisters as he remembers.

"Yes?"

Judy, who was suddenly called out, unwittingly solidifies. If you want to compare the Knights to the company, Judy and Rocco are hefty employees, and Knight is like a general manager. It was also natural that if I could speak, it would harden. For the Knights, the M-12 is on the clouds.

"This is a favor, Belle, and I was wondering if you and Lili and Allen could stay here for a while and do it for me?

The smile of Knight, who says so, is beautiful. Bells, who have been on the run so far, naturally have no place to stay. Knight was staring at two people who had already embraced Lili and Allen's protection.

"Fine!

Rocco responded promptly to Knight's request.

"What? You're kidding!

Judy grabs up Rocco's chest barn, which she replies to at will, not to mention her own opinion. I can't answer Knight, but I can answer as many questions as I want to. Judy had no idea why Rocco had accepted the offer.

"I just took this story because I thought we were only here today! There's no way I'm gonna live with someone else forever."

Judy, convoluted with complaints, is shaking Rocco rampantly.

"Yes... isn't that good! It's going to be busy! Wow!"

I was trying to convince Judy, Rocco, but she was shaking me so hard that I couldn't even talk properly. Her appearance like that is messed up like the first time I met Belle. Is it everyday tea business to look like that?

"Um... if it's annoying, you can say no, right?

Seeing Judy continue to complain violently, Knight suggests. Knight realized by now that his request was something that was difficult for them to refuse in their position.

"I don't mind...... whoa whoa whoa whoa"

Still, Rocco tries to be comfortable, but Judy won't let me say the word to the end. Rocco is already exhausted and no longer uttering any words.

"Ah... sorry"

Judy apologizes for one word when she finally realizes she's been doing too much.

But it's too late to apologize now. Rocco was already relieved. Rocco, who has always lived with Judy like this, is probably the strongest in a way.

"... what do you do in the end?

Knight, who has been watching the two of us, has been waiting for an answer. From what I've seen, Rocco and Judy's opinions don't seem to be coherent.

"You know, it's okay if you really say no to me, right?

That's what Lili said when she saw Judy openly trying to refuse to live with the Bells. Not here. But I'm sure there's somewhere I can sleep.

"What are you talking about? Is there anywhere else you can stay?

But Bell disagrees with Lili. Elixis is the centre of the gathering of human beings throughout the Kingdom of Sertria. There is no such thing as a guarantee that there will be vacant accommodation.

"... unfortunately, there's nothing else. It sucks to be able to stay in my room, but it's not very, very small for four of us to live together."

Knight held back such Bell's opinion. He was never trying to force Judy to convince him, but he accidentally spoke his mind. After all, there seems to be a slight slip in Knight.

Such Knight's words will surely hunt Judy down.

"... it's a mess to be here. I don't mind..."

Rocco also opens his mouth following Knight's words, but because of Judy she can't speak well. Judy was grabbing Rocco's cheeks hard with her left hand. That's why what Rocco was saying didn't come into everyone's head right away.

"Yay. - Can I live here? I love this couch."

Here Allen, who has been silent until now, opens his mouth. He's jumping on Rocco's couch looking so fun. This fluffy, pink sofa was very appealing to Allen. Of course, Allen has never sat in such a fuzzy chair before.

This Allen statement created an atmosphere that made it easier to go through Knight's requests. Judy has no more later.

……………

In a space full of air that had to completely embrace the Bells, Judy could only remain silent. The only way to get out of this strange atmosphere is to say YES.

………

………………

……………………………

Seeing Judy in silence, everyone there stares seriously at that face. Knight, Bell, Lili, Allen and Rocco's gaze was gathered in Judy just one person.

"... I've got it! Why don't you take it personally? But don't come into our space."

Judy, who couldn't stand the atmosphere, finally breaks. It was also big by young Allen, but the biggest was Knight's gaze. If my boss keeps staring at me in silence, I'll have to break it.

"Are you sure?

"All right."

"Yay!

The moment I hear Judy's reply, Lili, Bell and Allen raise their voices of joy one after another. It was promised that the Bells' lives would be different and calm. From now on, we're going home to the same house every day, and we don't have to run anywhere.

"Damn... I'll definitely attack you one of these days... don't think it's easy to sleep ~"

And Judy was whispering and whining something. Apparently, she hasn't given up on "that thing" yet. I don't know if that's what she meant, or if she's just kidding.

"Hmm? Did I say something?

Her whisper had arrived in Bell's ear, not knowing that. But I didn't seem to hear the key content of it.

"What? I didn't say anything. Tinnitus, right?

Judy's heart rate soared when Bell called her. I whispered so they wouldn't hear me, but they were asking me. Then, Judy was a bad liar. This reaction also obscures her true intentions.

"Ugh......"

Seeing Judy like that, Rocco accidentally spills a grin. Judy is constantly twitchy and doesn't break her strong attitude, but occasionally I get a glimpse of the cute side that said this. Rocco loves that side.

"Well, I'll give them my regards from now on. Mr. Argin, Mr. Paradise."

Knight, relieved that the conversation had finally settled down, concludes the conversation on the matter. And my boss told me, "Say hello," and Judy and Rocco had stretched their spines even though they didn't like it.

"There's just been a lot going on, but earlier tomorrow, Belle, I'm going to have you on a mission. That's what I'm saying, so I want you to come to the Knights headquarters talking room tomorrow morning."

The rest time given to Bell was never long. After joining the Knights, Bell was immersed in the peace of mind of saying he didn't have to flee anymore.

But we need to change our minds quickly and contribute to the Knights.

"The first mission means Buddy will be put together."

Judy pinching her mouth as she was listening.

"Buddy?"

"That one rookie can't be entrusted with the job from the start. Quite an elite knight will accompany you. Watch your baldness."

Apparently, it is customary for new Knights members to become buddies, or pairs, to carry out missions.

"Bald?"

I can't get that word out of Bell's head that Judy uttered. Is it a name for baldness, or is it a nickname? That's a pathetic name either way.

"Yes baldness. He's a pain in the ass. A newbie would definitely snore. Be prepared when you're assembled with baldness."

Someone called bald seems to be a pretty nasty person. It's always nasty enough for an arrogant and mighty Judy to draw attention.

"Sister, you're bald, not bald, right?

Rocco, who was listening, corrects Judy's mistake. The person is not called bald, but seems to be called bald taka.

"Baldness is baldness. I don't need to call you by such a cool name. Everyone calls me bald."

But Judy didn't bend her opinion. She really wants to call the person bald. Could the person be really bald, as its name suggests?

"I thought you were talking about vultures. As you can imagine, Belle, your first buddy is Vulture. Mr. Argin has already explained it to me, but for a while, Belle, I'm going to have you go on a mission with a buddy from the rest of the crew."

At first it was Knight, who Judy didn't know who she was talking about, but as soon as she heard Rocco's words, she put consideration on the person.

The person appears to be called by the name “Vulture” which means vulture. Then it became clear that Vulture, who was just in the conversation, would be Bell's first buddy.

"Well, the bells aren't so tight. It's gonna be the worst first mission ever ~"

Judy makes an exaggerated gesture of holding her head to show. She seems to hate Vulture quite a bit, but has something happened in the past?

And at some point she was starting to call off Bell.

"Is that bald guy that bad?

Bell, who had been listening to Judy, went with a gradual feeling of anxiety.

"Belle, I'll at least say bald taka, not bald. Sure, it sounds like you have a bit of a personality difficulty, but your strength is definite. If you work with him, you can't fail first."

Knight was going to dispel Bell's anxiety, but that statement made Bell anxious in return. For Bell, Vulture's strength didn't matter. Even though Buddy is somewhat weak, Bell is now confident in his prowess, most importantly the character of the person.

"You have personality difficulties..."

In retrospect, everyone who's been involved since Bell joined the Knights has had some personality difficulties. Isaac, Judy. Bell looked up to the universe, wondering if he had to become more involved with troublesome people again.

"Well, I'm fine. Mr. Bell, you need to rest well today in preparation for tomorrow. Being in the talking room tomorrow at 9: 00 in the morning. Late is strictly forbidden."

I wanted to give Belle a break as soon as possible. Knight checks again about tomorrow, and he stays put, Dr. I followed the Bruxen house.

I thought Bell could finally get some rest, but it wasn't going to be that easy. Judy's attitude was rapidly growing in the room where Knight left off. Was it a rebellion that was suppressed until just now? If Bell is going to step into Judy's space just a little bit, he'll be overwhelmed. That's not all. When Bell wakes up nagging, Judy always has her face close in front of her. Its proximity is about one mug.

Every time he opens his eyes, Judy approaches Bell. Belle is lying on Rocco's couch, but every time Belle opened her eyes, her posture had changed. He came close to his face from under the couch or sometimes to cover it over the bell.

"What are you doing? ⁉

"Nothing, I didn't do anything... why don't we go to bed soon?

"Can you sleep in this situation? Get out of here!"

When Bell closed his eyes and opened them again, there was Judy's face unchanged.

"If you don't get some sleep soon, you'll get plenty of siggy on your bald spot tomorrow ~"

"So go away quickly!

Judy is right, maybe she's serious about attacking Bell's sleep, but maybe that's an operation to kick Bell out of this house as soon as possible. Because she's just keeping her face close and hasn't actually attacked her once.

Because of Judy's willingness to assault Bell quickly from day one, Bell could not sleep in a detour. For Belle today, Judy was far more troublesome than the person who said Vulture. As Judy thought, Bell had already wanted to get out of this house since the first day.

Unfortunately, Bell gets the morning as it is. I was going to let my body rest slowly for my first assignment, but Judy's odd behavior prevented Bell from sleeping one night. If you keep going on the mission, you're going to commit some serious malfunction. Will I visit Bell for the night I can sleep?

Bell steps outside with a little anxiety.

The sky is blue and clear, and the breeze feels good, but Bell's feelings are not at all clear. Bell, who made a deep bear under his eyes, walks out nagging.

Looking up into the air, there was the appearance of one vulture dancing in the great sky. The vulture is winged free with the sun on its back. With the sun on its back, it is impossible to see the details of its appearance. Such a vulture roar was echoing all over the city.

I kind of feel like that vulture is watching me, and Bell's anxiety gets stronger. Today, Bell only had a feeling something bad was going to happen.
