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

Pink long hair and blue long hair. A long-haired man and woman stand in front of the purple flame, at the center of the captain's office. Rocco and Robin, summoned for Operation Bell Quill Faust recapture, waited silently for Gregorio to open his mouth.

"Rocostasia Paradi, Robin Kafka. As I'm sure you've already heard, Belle Queer Faust's figure was detained by Rabbitney"

"Why would you do that?

Rocco knows the circumstances, but Robin was here without knowing the details. Sure, there are still immature places in Bell, but Robin is also well aware that he is not a black magician (Grigori) who can be caught so easily.

"According to Argin's report, only Faust was caught stealing the Black Magic Book (Grimoire) held by Trump Circus"

"Rumor has it that there was a hand-worked black magician (Grigori) in the circus..."

Robin also knew rumors about Trump Circus. Rumors were true, and the circus had all the black magicians (grigori) standing up like knights.

"Still, why me and Mr. Robin?

"I guess we should let Argin, who was supposed to volunteer, turn around, but thank you. She's suspicious. I feel like I'm hiding something."

"Really..."

Not sure how far Gregorio knew, but surely he was distrustful of Judy. Gregorian qualities have not been revealed, but I'm sure magic and the power to spot people are top notch.

"So I want to entrust this mission to you, the most faust of our Knights"

"If it involves Black Sarteen, an important force of war for the Knights, isn't it a good idea to leave it to the M-12 people?

Natural question floating behind Robin's brain here. If you want to ensure that you rescue the bells that are dear to the Knights, you can rest assured that you are sending out a much stronger M-12 than any other member.

"I want to avoid losing the M-12 to recapture Black Sartain."

"In short, are we throwing away pawns?"

Put the Black Sarteen and the M-12 on the balance and the M-12 wins. Gregorian's words showed it in the dark.

"I'm sorry... that's the thing. But no Knights with Knights ID will ever be caught first. Except for Faust."

"It's..."

"Why is Mr. Bell's Knights ID here?

Gregorio showed two people something. That was the Knights ID that Judy took from Bell at Trump Circus.

"They were taken by someone in the circus. Argin came home with this. Without a Knights ID, we cannot prove that person to be a Knights member. If Faust had a Knights badge back then, he wouldn't have been in a cage."

Knights ID. It was the next most important thing in life for the Knights of Black Mages (Grigori). Only the Knights ID proves that they are Knights. Even if they are dressed in knighthood clothes, they are considered fake unless proven.

"Don't worry. There's nothing like us getting caught trying to rescue one Faust. I will definitely bring back the precious Black Sartain."

Robin was confident. Experience is very different between Bell and Robin.

"As reliable as I can be. I shall now return to the Faust rescue mission. Our Knights Belle Queer Faust was housed in Berito Prison, District 4, Rabbitney, Limia Federation. This time, Kafka, I want you to rescue Faust with two paladins."

"So why don't we just go to that Berito prison and break the cage?

Gregorio finally begins to talk about the main subject of the mission. Rescue of Bel Queer Faust imprisoned by the Union of Limia. It's a very simple mission.

"That's not true. It's unlikely we'll ever be able to get him out, even if we go to Verito prison with Faust."

"... what does that mean?

Whatever means you use, you just have to rescue Belle from Verito Prison. That's what I was thinking, Robin, was confused. Apparently, this mission isn't as simple as Robin thinks.

"Rabbitney stepped up his measures against black magic (Grimoire) by an escape a year ago. Have you ever heard of the word Curius?

"Curius… it is indeed an artificial processing of the tears of the moon to make it easier for humans to handle"

Curius. The words, Rocco also sounded familiar. Speaking of Curius, this is the weapon that Major Hells used when Bell first escaped from Verito prison.

"Exactly. Before the tears of the moon, a certain black magic (Grimoire) is disabled. Human-generated Curius does not have as much power as the tears of the moon, but can suppress black magic (Grimoire) as the tears of the moon depending on how it is used. Barriers for Curious-applied versus Black Magic (Grimoire) are strewn in District 4 Berito Prison. You can't destroy the prison where you came from."

That's why Bell's black magic (Grimoire) failed to scratch an iron lattice. A system to disable all black magic (Grimoire) has been introduced into District 4 Berito Prison. Berito Prison was exactly the prison prepared for Black Sarteen.

"So... what do we do?

“All black magic (Grimoire) will be disabled”

When I heard these words, Robin was confused. It would be impossible to rescue a subject from a place where black magic (Grimoire) does not work.

We're going to command.

"Command?

"Head to Command in District 1 and shut down Curius's system in District 4. That way we can get Faust out of Verito prison. I don't even know the details, but somewhere in the command room, there must be a switch to the Curius system."

Even seemingly impossible missions have proper tactics. Gregorio's source already contained an update on the prison town of Rabbitney. If we can sneak into command and shut down Curius, the rest will be easy.

"Rabbitney is a prison town composed of districts 1 to 4. The first district, where the command is located, is the outermost, and the fourth district, where the Berito prison is located, is the deepest. Shutting down the Curius system doesn't make it that easy to get to the deepest point. Kafka, that's where I appointed you."

"I see."

"If that's what you're saying, I think I can handle it."

"However, there is something I would like you to be aware of. Whenever possible, don't let the people of the Union of Limia notice your presence. Drop the system unnoticed and rescue Faust. That way, things will be easy to carry."

“Another unscrupulous thing..."

Even if a thread of mission strategy was found, there were harsh conditions there. If found, as Loco told Lilli, in the worst case scenario a war could start between two countries, Limia and Sertria. Being unnoticed by the enemy was of paramount importance in this mission.

"Well, good luck with your fight."

A few minutes later, Robin and Rocco, who were briefed on the mission, were outside the headquarters of the Knights of the Black Mages (Grigori), both armed with somehow difficult faces.

"Um, Mr. Robin... do you have any good ideas?

"... that's what I'm thinking right now too. Totally, truly, Master Gregorio is impotent."

The two were desperately trying to twist (string) out a way to rescue Bell without the Limian Confederacy noticing. Sure, the information on Curius provided by Gregorio was beneficial, but he didn't give me any other support.

"Uh-huh... I wish I could even use the magic of transparency..."

………………

"What do you say we transform?

When Rocco is troubled, Robin makes a suggestion.

"Is it a transformation? No, Robin's beastification is widely known."

"You're not, you're turning into a soldier in the Limia Confederacy."

Transforming into a Limia Confederate soldier makes it easier to move in the prison town of Rabbitney. The maneuver that Robin came up with after a while of worrying was that.

"I see. I didn't think about it at all, even though it was the first idea I was going to come up with."

"Is that fooling me?

"Oh, no, that's not true!

Loco's natural poisonous tongue impairs Robin's seizures. No offense at all to her, but the words were hurting Robin as a result. Robin is more likely to be scratched than anyone else.

"Fair enough. Become a soldier of the Limia Confederacy and shut down Curius's system. That's settled."

"May I leave it to you to prepare for the transformation?

"Oh, I'll take care of it"

Even trivial things quickly scratched Robin, but he was quick to recover. For one thing, it would be a blessing to have spent time with Judy and Bell. The time with the two bickering hips had made Robin's heart feel any stronger.

"Then I'll meet you at Ship Port."

"No, I'll wait in Rabbitney first"

The Knights embark on an airship from Ship Port on a mission to their destination. Rocco took that for granted, but Robin wasn't.

"Huh?... Oh, Mr. Robin likes to fly, but you don't like to be flown"

"Ugh, shut up."

After hearing an unexpected response, Rocco remembers that Robin had an airship phobia. Rocco, who had a long relationship with Robin, knew about Robin to some extent.

And Rocco's words hurt Robin again.

Rocco, who broke up with Robin, was back home once. Even though I say I'm already dressed in knighthood clothes, I need to be ready before I go on a big mission.

"Mr. Rocco, are you going to help Bell?"

Lili flies up to Rocco when she returns home with her eyes shining. She was waiting for her return now or now. Lili, who was listening to Judy and Rocco's conversation, knows she's on her way to rescue Bell.

"Huh? Well yes..."

Rocco laughs bitterly when he sees Lili feeling excited.

"Let me go, too."

"I want to go too."

"... even if they say so"

Lili's name goes up to the rescue of Bell just because she's here. As followed by her, Allen also shouted out loud.

The two of us are totally appealing to our desire to help Bell out, but where they follow us, it's just gonna be a bunch of legs. First of all, they won't be helping Rocco and Robin.

"Mr. Rocco, please. I've always been helped, so now I want to help Belle."

"I want to help you too, brother."

Lili and Allen had very strong feelings, two of whom had been helped many times before by a man called Belle Quille Faust. You can't use black magic (Grimoire). Just people are powerless in this world. It's on the protected side. Even though she knew she was helpless, Lili and Allen wanted to help Bell.

"So, but... two people who aren't Knights could get caught by the Limia Federation, right?

"It's..."

We have to be quite prepared to head to the rescue of Bell. Because even if they are innocent, they are headed to take away prisoners for the Union of Limia.

"That's... Mr. Rocco will protect you."

"Aha haha..."

To Lili's words, Rocco could only laugh bitterly. It was a pleasure for Rocco to have Lili's full confidence, but it wasn't a pleasure for them to follow.

"I... I saw Bell being taken away in front of me and couldn't do anything." So let me go, too. "

Lili really wanted to rescue Belle. When she saw Judy's nature in the Trump Circus, she deplored her own helplessness. Even as my people were about to be taken away in front of me, I couldn't do anything. That guilt and remorse is driving Lili right now.

"It's the mountains I want to take you to, but I can't keep you guys in danger. Do you think Mr. Bell would be happy if you guys were caught to rescue Mr. Bell?

No matter how strong his thoughts can be bumped, Rocco can hardly shake his neck vertically. It's not like Rocco doesn't know how Lili feels, but he can't take two people with extremely low combat skills to dangerous battlefields.

"Please ~ Psst."

"... what shall we do"

Still unable to give up, Lili grabbed Rocco's shoulders and rocked hard. Rocco, who swayed in the narrow space of his feelings, continued to be shaken irresistibly.

Then two hours later, Rocco was right next to District 1 of the Limia federal prison town of Rabbitney. Loco is in the woods near Command. This mission where covert actions are strictly observed.

She had landed about a kilometer from Rabbitney and was walking to her destination.

Rabbitney Command is surrounded by a high wall that says it will be 10 meters, and we can't ask what's going on inside. However, it is said that the outside movement is never known inside.

"You were late."

When Rocco walked for a while, Robin was waiting in the shadows.

"Excuse me... a lot of hassle..."

"Hey, what are those guys?

"Huh?"

Robin was capturing someone behind Rocco. Pointed out by him, Rocco looks back for the first time.

"Eh heh..."

Then it was Lili and Allen who were there. Of course Lili and Allen don't know Robin. Robin, who sees unfamiliar faces, is becoming more alert.

Lili and Allen, who on the other hand had been found, were laughing to shine a blindfold as to why.

"So I hear who those guys are?

"Eh heh..."

What's in front of you is a pair of inexperienced people. Robin wants to know who the two are soon, but now even Rocco is laughing to hide them.

"Don't laugh and delude me. I've seen it. It doesn't look like an enemy, but who the hell are you?

Robin had already cut the paralysis at this time. Robin also understood that they were not the enemy because Lili and Allen were not alert, but they still didn't want to reveal themselves.

"She's Mr. Lili, and he's Mr. Allen. They were working with Mr. Bell until he came to Elixis."

"Why are those guys here? This is a Knights mission.

It finally revealed the names and identities of the two people in front of us, but still Robin doesn't understand why they're here.

"Well don't say that hard...... Lili and Allen really want to help Mr. Bell!

"Chip... so I guess I can use a little?

This is a difficult situation for an elite knight (Knight), but Robin first accepted Lili and Allen's presence. The question is whether they are useful in this operation.

"What do you mean you can use it?

"It's all about black magic."

To Lili, who is a pocan, Robin said that out loud. Black magic (Grimoire) is the power in this world. If you can't use black magic (Grimoire), it won't help you first.

"Ah, black magic."

"Me too."

Lili and Allen, all together, give a full grin. It's not something I can be proud of, but for some reason, the two of us seem happy.

"Hey Paradi... why did you bring in those guys who can't even use black magic (Grimoire)? You're just gonna get your feet together."

"Because... I don't ask these people to say they're going. Plus, a larger number of people can act more flexibly!

After that, Rocco lost Lili's enthusiasm and brought them here. Rocco, who brought them here, was rather trying to positively capture Lili and Allen being here.

"Where there are more women and children...... reasonably good. Anyway, I only have two military uniforms ready for disguise. We need to get two more uniforms first."

The situation continues, which cannot be an ordinary mission, but Robin decided to accept all of it. While we were arguing here, we should also have avoided being made aware of the existence of the Union of Limia.

"Huh? Aren't you going to magically transform?

"Transformation magic has time constraints. I'm not sure I'll be able to complete my mission in a well-defined time."

Rocco thought it was black magic (Grimoire) that would transform him into a Limian Confederate soldier, but Robin didn't think so. If you pay attention to his left arm, there are two blue military uniforms hanging there.

"How do you get military uniforms here..."

"Oh, just the right guys walked in"

"Oh no..."

I'm not sure how Robin got the uniform for two, but how do you say we get the two remaining uniforms in this enemy formation? When Rocco was wondering, something popped into their sight.

Ahead of Robin's sight, a pair of Limian Confederate soldiers were walking. There's the skinny guy and the little guy. The soldiers are still far apart, so they are unaware of Robin's presence.

"That's not true."

"That's a bad idea...... ahhh"

When Robin smiled invincibly, he approached the pair of military men, not even listening to Rocco's story. I'm going to take my uniform from a soldier who went through the vicinity. Is it okay to do such a great thing when the mission should proceed in secrecy?

"Faust, who broke out a year ago, was sent back to Verito prison."

"You're an idiot ~... why are you running when you get caught anyway"

"You're a real fool! Only one of us can escape the Limia Confederacy.

The unnamed pair of Limia Confederate soldiers were having a pleasant conversation without noticing any sign of approaching Robin. The topic was about Bell being sent back to Verito prison again.

"You're the fools."

Robin said just one word, from the blind spot behind him, and put a sharp kick in the two soldiers. Robin's two heavily kicked soldiers passed out not long before resisting and were taken away by the shadows.

"It's horrible...... that guy"

Lili, watching the whole thing, shrugged.

"Are you sure this is how it works ~..."

The Roccos were just dressed in the uniform of the Limia Confederate Army. Blue military uniform that I don't normally wear. Rocco looks in trouble, looking at his body many times. Including the meaning of the disguise, Rocco had twin tailed her pink long hair and removed her glasses.

"Oh, perfect......"

And Lili and Allen were dressed in military uniforms that they had just obtained by Robin's chase. I just happened to take it from a soldier who passed nearby, but strangely enough, the military uniform Lili and Allen wore was a perfect fit for their bodies.

"Not to worry. I took his ID card, so two out of four should be able to make sure he's a soldier."

Robin, on the other hand, was deliberately messing with her tied hair to change her appearance, usually. Robin is known as the number one member here right now, so he needs to change his appearance the most.

"I stole it... huh"

"I'm fine. They put him to sleep and left him in a place where no one would notice."

"No, is that the problem..."

Robin was sneaking up on a Limia Federal ID card that might help him move around the prison. Robin was a bolder man than Rocco thought.

"Come on, let's get Faust out of here."

Robin leads the Bell Rescue Squad, unaware that Loco and Lili are pulling a little. Operation Bell Rescue, joined by Lili and Allen, has now begun.
