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

"Ah, yes, yes."

"What's wrong, Erna?

When the laughter surrounding the beach starts to converge, Erna suddenly remembers something.

"I wanted to give Mr. Lili something. It's in the inn, so I'll get it! We won't let you take the time, so please just wait!

"Oh, hey! I wish we weren't in such a hurry!

Before Lili opened her mouth, Sosa and Erna ran out onto the beach.

"Huff......"

Seeing Erna rushing out onto the beach, Abby accidentally did not relax (loosen) her mouth.

If you run all you can on a sandy beach covered with soft sand on one side, your feet will bury in the sand and you won't be able to run well. Erna is still running desperately as she is about to fall.

"Something's changed the image of Erna in me a lot ~. He was such a funny kid."

"Erna's funny."

"Really? ⁉ Can you tell me more about Elna?

"Yes!"

When Lili first met Erna. She was the perfect girl for the word "sturdy." Serious at all times, like me (a servant) loyal to Abby.

Even though she cares about Abby, Elna has never, ever tried to get along.

"I didn't know Elna was such a fun person. Until now, he was always silent and just someone who listened to me. I wanted to get along, but I wanted to play with you all the time, like today, and I felt the wall."

"I thought so, too. Elna must be too serious. It took a while, but now there's a relationship between us that Abby wanted, right?

"I remember the day I woke up. Everyone was crying. That's why I told you not to cry. Because something very good was supposed to be happening, and everyone was crying."

"Even if it's not a sad time, you're gonna cry. Tears of joy."

"I know. For the first time then, I knew it. Your mother, your father, your brother, Erna, Killian, you, Mr. Silvo and Mr. Caitri. They're all glad I'm back and they're crying."

Abby slowly starts talking about when she wakes up from a long sleep.

"Elna told me that day.“ Let's go to the sea. Let's go to a big sea of brace rivers. "And he hugged me. I was very, very happy. I had tears, too."

"Erna, you finally became Abby's sister. Abby, you're starting to talk a lot more than you did before!

"Is that right...?

"Yeah! That's a very good thing! Abby, you look so happy!

She barely opened her mouth when Lili was acting with Abby at Trump Circus. As if, Raleigh, who was familiar with people.

But not now. Abby became as bright as people had changed and a rampant girl who seemed to have fun talking about anything. Nice girl with a good smile.

"Then I could hear how Erna really felt. Elna always wanted to get along with me. Neither have I. I thought Elna shouldn't get along with me, even though we've both always felt the same way. I really owe it to your sister to get along with Erna"

"I told you I was a dickhead, Elna. I guess she was over-containing herself. Until then, I think Erna was too uptight. I've always had a hard expression."

It is an indisputable fact that Lili pushed Erna's back. Abby and Erna have a relationship now because of those two conversations that day.

"Erna knows the wider world. When you're with me, you talk a lot about the world outside of Sertria. I'd like to step into the wider world with Erna someday, too."

"That's a lovely dream!

"But I don't know... since I woke up, I want more things than I used to. I'm happy enough as it is, but can I want any more..."

"It's a good decision to hope for. I won't let anyone complain. Abby suffered enough. Just think of something fun!

"Thanks. I never thought of it that way. I'll make sure I think about all the fun I'm going to have!

"Let's do that." I have to go out into the wider world to gather the ingredients for the Dawn Moon investigation, too. So maybe we'll see each other again somewhere!

"Can I see you... the world is much bigger than this country, huh?

"That's not where you think deeply, Abby..."

The future Abby sees was brilliant. That's something completely different from when I was in Trump Circus. There's nothing holding her back from happiness anymore.

Lili, Abby. Two girls come to think of it, a world that is spreading outside of Sertria, yet to be seen. An unimaginably wide, unknown world.

"Thank you for waiting, Mr. Lili. Please accept this."

As Abby tilted her neck with a strange face, Erna came back to the beach.

"Uh ⁉⁉This is the one Elna used, right? You can't have such an important thing!

"Please take it. I'm sure it will help Lili."

What Erna offered Lili was one knife. That's what Erna was using in the battle at Snow Cliff.

"This is a knife named“ Hikuidori ”. It was struck in the“ Kingdom of Tenryu ", a great eastern power far from the Kingdom of Serbia. It was actually a product of the Vinter Chamber of Commerce, but it became mine about 3 years ago. I wasted a lot of time, and I couldn't help it."

"You've always wanted something. I knew you wouldn't get that."

When asked how Elna got the "hiccup," Lili couldn't take it any more.

"Mr. Lili, I want you to have this sword. I'm sure it will help you."

"Will it help me?

"Mr. Lili, you can't use black magic (Grimoire), can you?

"Uh-huh... well... right"

Lili can't use black magic (Grimoire), but now that she has no control over her powers, she can't use it.

"Then it helps! With the hiccups, Lili can borrow Mr. Bell's flame and fight!

"Uh ⁉⁉What do you mean that?

"Hikuidori is a special knife that can put flames together in your body. I fought the blaze of Hellhounds throwing up in a hiccup. With this knife, even Mr. Lili, who can't use magic, can handle Mr. Bell's powerful flames"

"That's amazing. It might come in handy."

"Right, so take it?"

"No... but I still can't get it"

"The Vinter Chamber of Commerce trades with the rest of the world, right? I'm sure you'll get the hiccups, too, one of these days. I want Lili to have it now."

"Uh-huh... are you sure you want it?

"Take it!

Forced half the reluctant Lili to convince herself, Erna handed Hikydori over. Compared to the storm sphere that Bell received from Lambert, Hikuidori is likely to be a much more active item.

"... heavier than I thought. Erna, I've been waving this heavy."

"While you're using it, you'll get used to it!

Actually with the hikuidori in my hand, the first thing Lili was surprised by was its weight. Erna is a little shorter and younger than Lili.

But I'm sure Erna has more combat experience than Lili.

"I'm sorry for everything."

"Oh, no! Keep your head up, please. You deserve this."

"There were so many gifts from the Vinter Chamber of Commerce that I didn't have anything... I'm sorry."

"You don't have to worry about it!

"No, I care. I can't just do nothing."

"Because I'm really fine. Damien, if you're free from the pain at all, that's fine."

"Then you can't stop feeling me. Just take it, please."

Damian fished a mess through the bag, took out one envelope and offered it to Lili. The envelope was quite thick. It's all swollen up in pieces.

"Is that possible money?

"Yes, Lili has to go abroad to find the ingredients for Dawn Moon's research. I hope it adds up a little bit."

"No, no, no, no. I can't take this kind of money!

"Okay. Am I missing... then another one!

"Mr. Damien... were you listening?

"If this happens, I will give you as much until Lili is convinced. If the person to give it to is Lili, my parents will forgive me."

"Um... okay. Then I'll just have one."

Damian was a stubborn boy. Damian had tried to give the Bells money before. At that time, no one received the money as a result.

But this time, to Damien, who is too stubborn, Lili had to give in.

"Sorry, I've been holding you back for a long time."

"Oh no! I'm so sorry to interrupt your fun time"

"I can't believe I'm in the way. If you're Lili, you can stay forever."

"I won't be able to sit around with all the colours. It's time to go."

"It's nice to be able to thank Mr. Lili. The Dawn Moon will definitely be finished!

"Thank you, Damien."

Summerbell brothers and sisters, they are too accepted by the Vinter Chamber of Commerce, and Lili makes them feel sorry for themselves and go. It felt kind of overappreciated and Lili was having trouble staying on the spot.

"Sister Lili. Thank you so much. I hope to see you again."

"Abby, I'm sure I'll see you again."

"I kind of miss you..."

"Abby has both Erna and Damian, right? I'm not gonna miss you!

"Right...... right!

It was Abby, who was a little cloudy with her expression, but soon its face regains its brilliance.

"I'll see you around, Abby."

"Yeah!"

"Erna, Damian, Killian, Silvo, Caitri. Thank you."

"Good luck!

"May Lili's mother wake up safely"

"Thank you so much."

Lili bows her head wide and leaves the beach behind.

The Summerbell brothers and sisters and the Vinters kept waving until they could no longer see Lili. Warmly dropped off, Lili disappears into the city of Brace River.

⁉ ︎

Chills rush through Lili's entire body as she tries to get out of the beach. In that instant, she felt a flutter of hair that she had never felt before.

Is this also a late reaction to awakening to black magic (Grimoire)? Lili understood instinctively. What I just felt was probably the energy of powerful black magic (Grimoire).

Being close to the devil, she is probably more likely to feel the energy of the surrounding black magicians (grigory) than the average black magicians (grigory).

……………

Lili, who had a bad feeling about it, looks back aggressively.

Lili, who saw Abby's face there, couldn't help but have fear. That's the same face when disaster awakens in the Trump Circus. An expression in contrast to an innocent smile earlier. She had the exact sharp eye of a demon.

"... such a snort"

Are you saying that Glasharabolus is still lurking in her body without the effect of a second magic potion (Buster Potion)?

Lili, who did not want to accept such a cruel truth, rubbed her eyes hard and captured Abby's appearance in those eyes again.

"It's my fault... right"

When Lili opened the second time, what was there was the same as before, a figure of Abby who kept waving with a soft smile. No matter how many times you stare, Abby in Lili's eyes remains an innocent and gentle girl.

I'm sure what you felt earlier was some kind of mistake. Lili told herself so and left the beach as it was.
