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

Episode 11: The Runaways/Fugitive

Lili, who had lost her ribbon, had been taken to Central Hospital by Ashley. This is Bell's discharge date. The days of being held in this hospital are over. It means a new beginning.

Even though Bell's discharge is a delight, Lili's face remains dark. Lili was stepping into Bell's hospital room, drifting heavier and heavier air.

…………

"Come on... if you look so dark, you'll be considerate ahead"

Bell's face caught on when he saw Lili put together an unprecedented amount of bitter air.

The fatigue that had accumulated in the flesh had also completely disappeared, and Bell was already at full speed. He's not in sick clothes anymore, he's sleeved through knighthood clothes.

…………

"Aren't you glad you could get discharged because of this?

"... what makes you happy"

"Hey... seriously, what's wrong with you?

The damage accumulated in Bell's flesh had disappeared beautifully and refreshingly, but the damage accumulated in Lili's mind had increased exponentially. Since one incident at Brace River, Lili has become more and more root-dark and shady in character.

"Don't you notice? I lost something important..."

"Hmmm......"

"I don't realize. It's terrible. I cared more about it than anything else. No..."

It's like, "Oh, my God, that's a fucking ribbon, right? I thought we just had a moment."

"Scary! That's how you blame me, isn't it? It's my fault anyway..."

"Something's completely different from Lili I know..."

Belle is just confused with Lili, who has turned a leopard. That “black ribbon” was so important to her that it changed her personality so much. She can't find joy in anything right now.

"Haha...... sorry ~. He's been like this ever since the ribbon was stolen by a stuffed animal."

As Bell was baffled, Ashley came into the increasingly air-covered hospital room. Bringing Lili this far must have been tough.

"... stuffed animals? I don't know, but if he stays like this all the time, he won't be in a shade."

"That's right ~... I tried to encourage Lili somehow, too, but whatever I did, it didn't work. I'm a doctor, but I'm good with boulders."

"Huh... that's a tough thing to do. Don't you dare take him home."

Why did that stuffed animal steal Lili's ribbon? A moment later, this may have been Ashley's ploy to get Lili through. Bell knows nothing, but it was Ashley Norbember who breathed her life into that stuffed animal, nothing else.

"Right...... Happy discharge. Your body should be recovering enough to go on a mission right now. Keep up the good work!

"Thank you!

"I'm sorry... Mom, I'm sorry..."

"You..."

Ashley smiled and dropped off Bell after Central Hospital.

Bell leaves the hospital room pulling as hard as she can, Lili, whose strength has fallen out of her body. No longer, Lili turned into a doll that just uttered gloomy words. Walking with Lili who didn't try to walk herself like a doll was harder than Bell thought.

Then over a time that was never too short, the two of them reached home. By the time he opened the door to the house, Bell had already become a het. I got discharged because of this, and now I need another quick break.

"Oh... you seem tired"

As soon as he came in front of the couch, Bell fell in. Lili, who was brought here by Belle, is nodding under the couch.

Rocco's face, where he was going to welcome two with a full smile, has a pulled smile on his face. Naturally Rocco doesn't know what happened to the two of us. Rocco realized later that he had just been discharged and was tired.

"No way... Dean Norbember did something to you... is that it?

As he tried to develop his own reasoning, Rocco noticed that Belle and Lili were all asleep. Falling asleep means that there is only one way to go for the two consciousnesses.

Two people who fell asleep were walking inside another city of Elixirs. This world is real and melon, but there are no people in the city. And time in this world is different from reality. The sky above the king's capital is always covered in black clouds, dim.

Belle is walking fine, but Lili was drooling. In this dream world, physical problems in the real world are irrelevant. That's why Bell was able to attend the operation meeting even while in the hospital.

Yet Lili is no different from reality and remains more and more airy. The cause of Lili's being in this condition is not a physical problem. It's a matter of feelings.

"... don't you feel like they're watching something?

"Ribbon......"

"Hey."

"Hmm... what?

"It's like they're looking at something... no, it's nothing after all. There's no one there in the first place."

With the Holdies at the moment, Bell felt some sign. Lili's head, on the other hand, was full of ribbons, and she couldn't afford to care less about that.

While talking to Lili, Bell stopped feeling signs. The discomfort was only for a moment, and Bell could not be more vigilant.

"You're discharged!

"Happy discharge!

Opening the Hoodies door, Isaac followed by Knight, celebrated Bell's discharge. By the side, Allen jumps to express his joy.

And behind it, Elba was smiling. Everyone in the Hoodies congratulated Bell on his discharge. Except for one, Lili.

"My ribbon... stuffed animal... ahhhhhh"

"Hey, lady, what's wrong with you?

Isaac is laughing bitterly when he sees Lili, who is obviously in strange shape. Lili, an important force of war, went crazy when she said that Operation Big Fugitive was about to make a full move.

"Lili Wallace. I understand the situation, but in such a state, it could interfere with the operation."

"Wait a minute. I don't know anything, do I? What happened to the lady?

Seeing the soulless lili, Elba leaks a big sigh. Listening to Elba, Isaac protested.

Elba and Knight have access to the memories of others, so they know the big changes that have happened to Lili, but Isaac doesn't have that power.

"I don't know, I lost my precious ribbon."

"I didn't lose it. It was taken."

Bell gave Isaac the answer he wanted.

The moment the word "ribbon” came out of Bell's mouth, Lili reacted quickly to it.

"Hey, I see. Well, that was an important ribbon."

"My treasure my mom gave me... I definitely need to get it back..."

Isaac, who finally understands the situation, looks to observe Lili, who has turned leopard. Since this happened, Lili has always been talked to by someone but she doesn't miss hearing only the word "ribbon”.

"We have to fix this before we run the operation..."

Lili is interfering with the operation in an unexpected way. I'm pretty sure she'll pull her leg, even if she's going to get out of Sertria like this.

"Well, let's get down to business. Let's start by talking about something very important in this operation. As we emerge from the Kingdom of Sertria and the Knights of the Black Mages (Grigori), it is their“ Chain of Loyalty ”that cannot be ignored. If a man with a“ chain of loyalty ”defies his master, he will be compelled to submit. If the chain effect is activated, it's almost impossible to get out of the Knights"

"Ahhh. So far, the one with the only solution is to cut off his arm. It doesn't matter because I'm not from the beginning."

"Me and Elba have been trying to figure out how to take the chain of loyalty off while standing around as M-12."

"So... they found you?

"Yeah, they found me"

"Is it true? ⁉ If so, let's just untie this chain!

"That's..."

"What's wrong with you?

The movement of Knight's mouth, which was slurred at first, became more and more sloppy. Apparently, removing the “chain of loyalty" is harder than Bell thinks.

"I found what it takes to take off the" chain of loyalty, "which is very rare and may not be available in this country..."

"What are you wearing, Knight? What the hell is that?

"" Star Light (Starlit) Bracelet (Bangle). "This bracelet is specially crafted from the tears of the moon. It's an excellent way to solve all obedience magic."

"If the moon tears, it's a very rare item. If you're looking for something like that, it's been decades since the Knights got out.

Removing the “chain of loyalty" seems more troublesome than I thought. Besides, if you don't get it in this country, it's going to be harder to escape.

"Well, if you use your black magic (Grimoire), you'll find it.

"I have too few tips to get to, because if I was following every single memory, I wouldn't have enough time. Besides, the Knights didn't seem to think about taking this chain off from the beginning."

"Hey, if you can't even find Elba and your powers, why don't you do it? What are we gonna do? Your number one goal is to get Bell and Knight out of the Knights, right?

"That's why we get out of this country without making contact with the M-12. If you are not noticed, you will not be seen as disobeying. That shouldn't even have the effect of a chain of loyalty."

If the “chain of loyalty” cannot be removed, there is only one path left. We must ensure that Knights Commander Gregorio, and M-12, are not enlightened in any way about this “Operation Great Escape”.

"What would you do if you found out? If they find out, they're gonna fight the M-12, right?

"In case it develops into an all-out war with the M-12. Fight by dispersing the M-12 as much as possible. If the chain effect is activated, Knight and Faust will strip us of our fangs. If that happens, I can hold Knight from the inside out.

As for Faust, Isaac, I'll leave it to you. With that demon sword of yours, you should be able to beat it enough. Fortunately, Arrosha is unaffected by the chain. Stun him and he won't have a problem. "

"Oh, come on, that's a hell of a horrible story."

"This is just in case. It's best to get out of this country without a single fight."

The scenario changes dramatically between finding out the operation on the Knights' side and not finding out. Will they be able to leave the brace river safely as originally planned?

"To that end, Faust. What you're going to do is going to be very important."

"What am I supposed to do?

"For one thing, go report Gregorio's discharge. There must be some action there. You don't know anything. Just be quiet, I was just waiting for the physical recovery. In front of them, play through yourself knowing nothing. But don't say anything unnecessary."

"Something makes me nervous..."

With Bell's discharge, Operation Big Escape is on the move.

From now on, unprecedented responsibilities arise for the actions of each and every one of us. Carved it into his heart, Bell swallowed his solitary spit.

"... there is someone. If they were listening to the conversation, it would be very bad."

That's when Elba felt some sign across the door. If we find out what's going on before we move the operation into action, it's not going to work.

"What are you talking about? We're the only ones in here, right? I know how you feel, but it's a little too tingly, Mr. Elba."

"hahahaha...... so is that"

But this is a dream world where only a limited number of people are allowed to break in. There can only be insurgents affected by Elba's magic.

From then on, there were no suspicious signs of Elba.
