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

Lili and Ashley were walking under the blue sky doing their part. By this time the sky was clear, as cloudy weather had just lied. The lead sky, which was carrying heavier and heavier air, had completely disappeared. Two women are walking somewhere in the comfortable sun.

Lili doesn't know the horrible things Ashley did earlier. Lili has an innocent smile on her face, but she shouldn't be distracted in front of Ashley Norbember.

Back to back with the sunny skies, dark clouds stand in Lili's future. Is waiting for Lili the same fate as Mae Mae?

"Yes, arrival! This is the River of Grace, the tourist attraction of Brace River!

"Heh-heh."

Unlike the unpopular cliffs, however, the place where the two arrived was busy with many people. This place is not suitable for execution or assassination at all. Even an armed black magician (grigori) like the M-12 would never dare act in this place.

The two arrived on a large river. A river flowing from somewhere leads to the sea of Brace River.

"The sunlight reflects and the river is so beautiful!

"Really, I'm glad it's clear! Even if it's not clear, this river is pretty enough, but it's even prettier when it's clear."

"Is it beautiful even if it's not clear?

"Yep. Have you ever heard of the legend of Brace River?

"Uh-huh... I've never heard of it..."

"Then I'll tell you! This river is the beginning of all the harbors of Bres River."

Listening to the upcoming Ashley story will also reveal why this river is becoming a tourist attraction.

"A long time ago, when this was not yet the Kingdom of Sertria or the Elba Empire. Nobody lives here, it was just a big coast. Some people drifted and lived on this coast, but unfortunately, the land around here was not blessed"

"I can't imagine anything from Brace River right now."

"Yes. The land was not blessed, nor were the seas. So not many people lived there. Brace River used to be just as harsh as Adford, adjacent to the desert. But one river that flowed from the mountains over the years brought grace to this wretched land. The snowmelting waters of the mountains of Rottervania enriched the land"

"There was originally plenty of water, why wasn't it blessed until the river flowed?

They say it has something to do with the flowers of the moon.

"Uh ⁉ Moon Flowers ⁉ What do you mean?

Lili's interest grew once and for all when the word "moon flower” came out unexpectedly. Moon flowers are indispensable ingredients to make "Dawn Moon Examination”.

"When I say snowmelting water, it's not just snowmelting water. The water in this river is said to be based on the snowmelting water at the top of the snow (snow). With the flowers of the moon, the snow that kept the moon lit up at the highest point in this country is melting into this water. The river enriched the land with the power of the moon's light. So this river shines beautifully. It was this river of grace that developed this land."

There was no development of this port without the presence of the flowers of the moon, as also indicated by the name “Breath River”. Moon flowers are a precious substitute rarely found, but like this river, those affected by moon flowers probably exist somewhere else in the world.

"So, then, does this river water have the same power as the moon flowers? ⁉ “ You need the moon flowers to break the curse that was hung by your mom!

"Is it water with melted snow in the light of the moon? It's not like the flowers of the moon that showered directly into the moon."

"Then! Over and over again, if you draw a lot, you will get the same effect ⁉ ●"

"Just calm down. Indeed, we know that the waters of this river contain the same ingredients as the flowers of the moon. But, you know, that's a very small amount. Moon flowers only bloom once every 10 years, naturally. Trying to get the same effect as a moon flower with this river's water is unrealistic"

"Oh no..."

Lili was indirectly trying to gain the power of the moon flowers, but the hope crumbled away: a petal with the moon's light hoarding for 10 years and the snowmelting water flowing out into the river like every day. If you try to get the same effect as the flowers of the moon from the snowmelting water, it will take years that are uninterrupted and very inefficient.

Then the two walked around the tourist attractions of Brace River, bickering. Taking advantage of the characteristic of Harbour Street No. 1 in Sertoria, Brace River also invests in the tourism industry. Markets, amusement parks and other places for children to enjoy from adults.

"Come on! It's time to get to the inn tonight!

"Can you stay in such a lovely room ⁉ ●"

A few hours had passed since the two had visited the river and the book of the night was totally down on Brace River as well. Lili, who enjoyed the full brace river, stepped into one of the inns, encouraged by Ashley.

Lili accidentally drops the massive shopping bag she was holding and makes her eyes shine on the view of the room.

What was there was a luxurious and rugged setting as if it were a castle room. What Lili saw was the princess room itself, admirable for the girl.

The whole room is sparkling and fluffy. At the window, he also had a lovely black stuffed animal.

"Yes, it's my first stay with my adorable apprentice, so I'm excited! I had a hard time getting an appointment. ~?

"Thank you."

Only on this day, Lili had forgotten the suspicions she had about Ashley. With the exception of Homla's scouts, and his role as a rebel, Lili was driving him to a corner of his head. On this day, a vacation to forget and refresh everything. A reward for growing into a fine black magician (Grigori).

I'm sure there are some harsh trials ahead. Lili, who understood that somewhere in her mind, was enjoying the day by forgetting everything, even to reset her feelings.

The two of them just changed into pyjamas and sat on the bed. There are no rebels or M-12 in this room at this time. In this room were two innocent women enjoying sightseeing in the Bres River.

Take off everything that's troublesome and Lili and Ashley continue the conversation with pleasure.

"I'm really sorry about this morning. It was my lack of consideration..."

"No, never mind! I'm fine now!

"Still, you didn't want to look so sad"

"Who was the one who hurt my face scattered...?

"Yeah? Did I say something?

"haha......"

The two continue the conversation at their usual pace. Lili had no choice but to laugh bitterly at Ashley, who had never heard anything inconvenient.

"By the way, Lili, can I ask you again what you think of Bell?

"No, no, no, no."

And Lili threw a pillow at Ashley, who always had the same grin from the street. If Ashley is going to pretend she didn't hear anything inconvenient, Lili won't answer a question she doesn't want to answer.

The pillow Lili threw was a clean hit on Ashley's face. With that in mind, a pillow-throwing match began.

"You did it. You scare me when you piss me off ~?

"Even I'm scared when I piss you off ~!

While throwing pillows at each other, Lili began to use realm (territory) black magic (grimoire). Ashley throws a pillow in an unexpected direction and moves it momentarily behind Ashley. That's how Lili went about controlling this pillow throwing match.

"Lili, that's really bad. Because if that's what you're gonna do, I'm gonna be serious too!

Ashley smiled mischievously when attacked by Lili's Black Magic (Grimoire). There is a soothing battle going on in this room, completely different from when Mae was there.

"Two-on-one is sloppy."

"If you use two pillows, you son ~!

Now, Lili came under an unexpected attack from Ashley. Soon, the black stuffed animal that was supposed to have been placed at the window made its own move.

The black stuffed animal is somehow joining Ashley and throwing pillows at Lili.

"Yachima, eh?"

The black stuffed animal not only threw pillows, but began to speak words. From the circumstances, Ashley must have breathed life into this stuffed animal.

Does this magic of living in matter also have to do with her zombie black magic (Grimoire)?

Ashley's life-breathing black stuffed animal looked like a chick hug. It is all black and has a pair of little tunos growing on its head.

But on its back there were white feathers as bright as angels, with cute black hearts at the end of its tail.

"You did it."

The pillow throw was incandescent and ended up being a one-on-one personal match, not a two-on-one. Ashley, the black stuffed animal and Lili, each throwing a pillow at each other. If I get hit, I'll hit it back. Again and again, the three of them were laughing at each other constantly.

"Hahaha!

For them, everything in their eyes is no longer weird and frustrating. Just the pillow hits someone's body, and everyone laughs as far as their voices go. Pillow-throwing matches were no longer collectible.

The feathers stuffed in the pillows dance all over the room, what a beautiful sight. The three throwing each other pillows in the midst of countless feathers are like angels.

"Ugh. It's been so long since I've had this much fun!

"Me too."

"Come on, man!

When they were tired of playing, the three of them fell into bed. Even though I stopped throwing pillows, it should be noted that the three of them kept laughing. Tired of playing, tired of laughing, the three of them immediately fell asleep on the bed as they were.

The three stay asleep and eventually the morning comes to Brace River.

It was, unlike a day ago, a crisp morning. Morning sun rising from the horizon beyond the sea. A lively seagull voice, heard from the harbor. Everything you hear, everything you see in your eyes, is something special that you won't see elsewhere in Sertria.

"Ahhhh."

"What? What's wrong?

Lili, who was happily asleep, realized something and shouted out loud. With that loud voice, Ashley also wakes up asleep feeling good.

When Ashley looked at the window with a vain eye, she found that the window in this room was open. It is natural to think that a window was opened to capture fresh air in the morning, but if you look at Lili, you can see that it is not.

Lili is pointing out the window in some restlessness, and her face is in a hurry.

"... what is it?

"The stuffed animal... the stuffed animal stole my ribbon and jumped out."

Lili looks panicked and shakes Ashley's shoulder. The black ribbon Lili always wears is more important to her than anything else.

"Okay, 'cause I get it. It's okay, I'm not a child. You can buy another new one."

"It has to be that way - it's an important ribbon my mom gave me." "You can never lose it."

"Oh... you're a very important thing. That's tough!

Seeing Lili, who is the most disturbed person ever, Ashley understood the seriousness of the matter. Lili cries like a child, pointing firmly out the window, and keeps calling.

"You can't do this."

Lili didn't even get dressed and left the inn with her pajamas. I can't care less in this situation, such as familiarity. Lili messed up her hair like a sleeping bell and rolled out to Harbor Street in the morning.

What spreads in front of her is a crowd of people. As far as I can see, it's busy with a lot of people. Early in the morning, the harbor was in full swing, and it's not easy to find a small stuffed animal out of it. Still, Lili scratches the crowd and looks for a black stuffed animal.

"My Ribbon... Important Ribbon"

Lili keeps running around looking, but I don't see a stuffed animal anywhere.

"Ah!"

At that time, Lili caught sight of a black stuffed animal flying at low altitude in the distance. The plush body is black, as is Lili's precious ribbon. I'm not sure if that stuffed animal still has a ribbon, but Lili only has the option to go after it.

"Ehhhhh"

Whether he was there or standing, Lili used black magic (grimoire) from the realm (territory). I guess I thought of traveling momentarily and jumping to the stuffed animal.

But the magic of her realm (territory) is still incomplete. Shine the silver magic formation. The tip she jumped was at sea, the opposite of the direction in which the stuffed animal was. Lili, who could not use the magic of the realm (territory) as she wished, has no exchanging technique and falls straight into the shallow sea.

"Uh, no more."

Lili slammed the sea surface with both hands.

Then, the shock causes the splashed sea water to enter Lili's eyes.

"Ouch!"

Everything Lili does has bad consequences. The strong anger he had against the stuffed animal gradually turned into grief in Lili. Beated by great grief, Lili fell on her back to the shallow water. The overflowing girl's tears dissolve in the waters of the sea.

"What are you doing? Even if it floats around like that, the ribbon won't come back!

"I know..."

Ashley, caught up with Lili after a while, comes down to the sea and pulls Lili up. Lili, struck by despair, rose up powerless and followed Tobotobo and Ashley.

"Because I will also look for your precious ribbon. Don't look so sad!

"But... I didn't even want to let you go for a moment"

"I don't cuddle! The absence of a ribbon doesn't mean I don't have any memories of you and your mother, does it? Something really important is coming back to you at the end of the day. Lost items can be found when you give up looking for information. So cheer up!

Ashley was about to pull up, as was Lili's feeling of sinking more and more. That ribbon is a symbol for Lili of her bond with her mother, something she must never lose.

But Ashley's right, just because it's gone doesn't mean it's gone of memories and memories themselves.

"I know... I know,"

Lili had completely lost sight of the black stuffed animal because she had fallen into the sea. Once Lili captured the figure of a stuffed animal, many are constantly visiting the port of Brace River. At noon, searching for stuffed animals will be even more difficult.

"... then let's look for some more!

"... Yes"

If it was true, Ashley was going back to the King's Capital soon, but watching Lili in grief, she had to look for that stuffed animal.

Then again, the search for two black stuffed animals continued for a while. Lili kept looking for the important black ribbon in her pyjamas. Meanwhile, tears were constantly overflowing from the girl's eyes.
