Kuro no Maou

It sticks to thick meat chunks dripping with hot gravy.

Although the skin on the surface is slightly scorched, it seems to be the best baked dish to give a crispy touch and fragrance.

Unlike the thin scraps of meat served in the city's cafeteria, the lavishly chopped meat is surprisingly soft, contrary to its thickness.And a variety of spices that have been spoiled with seasonings.

It's delicious.

I just baked it. However, it can be said that this carefully roasted cocatrice is a dish full of meat charm.

And they ate the flesh of the roasted cocatris in silence.

First of all, Fiona Soleil, the lead witch of this newly constructed secret workshop.

Poor fairy Vivien, who could not help but be her loyal servant.

And two girls, Lechi and Ursula, who became uninvited guests, were rank 4 adventurers.

Until recently, I was playing a battle for my dignity, memory, but I changed my mind about the witch, and now I am going to sit at the same table.

"Aren't you burning well?I'll take care of the cooking. ”

After flattening about three large bones, Fiona told the chef while elegantly wiping the fat in her mouth.

The small spherical golem in charge of cooking at her feet flashes red eyes happily somewhere.

"It's not working at all!"We all rushed to stop the fire, and we managed to make it work!Damn, these pussies!! "

The "Fairy Barrier (Oracle Field)" wrapped around his feathers and his whole body glowed, and Vivien overwhelmed the golem.

If the end is good, it will not all be good.

The four of them, who added Lechi and Ursula, hurriedly pulled up the carbonized cocatris from the golems, which didn't weaken the fire at all.

But the cocatrice is delicious.

"You're not talking about the taste right now!"

This cocatrice is a bird-shaped monster that is famous for its petrified magic eyes.However, if I even drop my head, which has a third pupil that releases a vicious petrify, the rest is a big chicken.

Cocatrice, which ranks at the top of the danger rank 3, is also in demand as a premium ingredient.It was fortunate that it also lived in the second level "Great Plains (Evergreen)".

"Anyway, if you want to use them outside of architecture, you need to be able to control them properly."If you don't at least listen to me... next time, you'll really only get scorched meat. "

Okay, I'll try to play with the behavioral control technique a little bit more.

For the time being, it seemed that there was a conversation between the master and his servants.

Fairy Vivien is eating well enough for a small body, and she has long since finished eating and is lying sloppily on a large table.

Meanwhile, Fiona still stretched her fork from here to the big wings of the production.

"Um..."

How much does this witch eat?I've never seen a woman eat more than Lecki.When she waited for this man to finish eating, she thought she could never talk, and Ursula decided never to ask her.

Yes, what is it, kitten?

"I am Ursula, Rank 4 Adventurer."

Leki, Death!

It is always difficult to call a dog or a cat.Introduce yourself as if to remind you.

Of course, I don't know how far the witch with the dirty face could go.

“Fiona Soleil, a member of the Rank 5 Adventurer's Party Element Master and lover of Chrono.”

Huh, but isn't Chrono going to marry Queen Lily, Death?

"I'm still enjoying my relationship with Mr. Chrono."It may not be known to the child. "

Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Fiona, who answered Lech's question in a straightforward manner, was irritated asexually.

Is it possible to publicly say that you are the lover of Chrono without care?It was pointed out once again that they were only children who could only be protected.

In the end, Fiona had already reached where she wanted to be, and she was pushed to make a clear difference that we still couldn't get there.

However, it must be admitted that the difference.

Is that what a Rank 5 adventurer would be capable of?I intend to stretch my strength so that I can feel my growth every day, but in the previous battle, I was lightly challenged.

All of Fiona's magic remained at the lower level.The power itself was a deviation from the lower level, but on the contrary, if she really used advanced magic, how big would it be?

I was often blinded by the power of such flashy magic, but the battle that immediately drove me and Leki to the point of being incapable of battle was also excellent.There was no magic in vain, and the activation speed was tremendous.

Even the magician's natural enemy, Leki, a fast moving avant-garde warrior, was beautifully pursued by magic alone.Not only the power of magic, but also how to use it well in real battle and predict the movement of the opponent.I was convinced that it was a force worthy of Rank 5, the pinnacle of adventurers.And if you're going to fight next to Chrono, you're going to need this level.

That's why Ursula decided to hold back her childish rebellion and envy and ask this witch Fiona.

"What the hell is this place?"

“Is it information gathering? Lily-san's minion, after all."

"Lechi and the others are not working for the Sexy Queen!"

"But I made a promise. If we conquer the Great Labyrinth and become Rank 5 adventurers, we will also fight alongside Chrono-sama."

I see, Lily-san is going to take it with her.

Fiona thought that when she started to manipulate one country, she had no time to find talent.How dare you spit on a child like this?

However, Lily's policy of doing everything for Chrono, young and old alike, has nothing to do with Fiona.Fiona also sympathized with Lily's rational rationality, and she was respectful that her ability to act and dominate was incredible.

I can't imitate the same thing myself.

But I have no intention of turning to her.

That day, I lost the battle for Chrono.Still, if there was a woman who could kill Lily, it would leave her alone and she wouldn't give it to anyone else.

Lily. She's Fiona's worst enemy and best friend.

“This is the new workshop I'm building.It's a secret workshop for Lily-san to keep quiet. "

Maybe you can manipulate a golem into a building similar to the third tier.

"Yes, because civil construction is difficult on my own."I've brought people who can, and people who can keep secrets. ”

I'm all alone, and we're not all ponkotsu golems.

I wanted a cowboy as soon as possible, and with a sharp mouth, Vivien stirred up wine in a small glass.By the way, she is still at work.

"How the hell did you get a golem?"

"Nowadays, the third tier also has a wide safety zone.If you take your time, I can do the Golem's tame without you.It's the hardest thing to do to make sure Lily doesn't find you. "

Lily's sphere of control is secure and separated from her entirely dungeoned part by a huge bulkhead.

A dungeon that doesn't know when its enemies are coming will be difficult to precisely take control of a running golem, but there will be some who can if they can be prepared and time-consuming in a safe place.

However, Lily's sphere of control is always under her watch.It is virtually impossible to secure a golem in operation on the third tier without being aware of it.Fiona is also familiar with Lily's surveillance network and the ancient magic that manipulates monoliths, so she was able to deceive her eyes.

"I am a witch too, so I have mastered the art of using the demon (Servant)."In this way, if you can create a place where you can calm down your hips, it will be a good time to use all the demons in earnest "

"Then you'll have to join me!"Have another free rest! "

"Golem is good." They don't complain, they do what they're told. ”

"I know what you're saying, but if I agree, I feel like I'm losing my humanity."

Ursula thought she was the type of person who should never be a leader.

"So, after all, I'm going to erase our memories."

I don't want to be noticed by Lily-san yet.

"Ugh... no, I don't want to hurt you, Dase."

Wait a minute!

And it was Vivien who raised his voice.

It's okay, 'Thought Controller (Fairy Ring)' is a trusted and proven magic tool (magic item).

"Listen to me!?"

What is it?

I'm going to make these two new vassals!

"Please, erase your memories."

Death

"Look, that's what they're both saying."

"No, wait a minute! Everyone, it's too early to give up!"

The two of them were already ready to erase their memories.And I want to erase my memories and make sure there was no trouble, Fiona.Only Vivien was screaming at the table.

"Look, these two are promising adventurers that Queen Lily called out to me directly."Besides, you seem to be the kind of child who is also kind to the demon king. "

Yeah, right.

"The two of you will definitely show your heads ahead."That's why, if you pull it inside now ---- "

What's going to happen?

"I can't imagine how much you're interested in others... Master, are you really going to fight Queen Lily?"

Of course.

"Well, my husband is the type who can manage with his own strength, but I think it's better to make a bit of a networking effort."The opponent is the Queen of One Country, and she is indeed a fairy princess who has received a favor from Her Majesty Queen Iris. "

I see, that makes sense.

Fiona nodded honestly.

I started with Chrono and Lily, and even since I came to Pandora, I've been involved with people.At least, much more than when I was a student at Sinclair.

“That's why I recommend these two!”

Hmm, how about that?

"Please, erase your memories."

Death

"After all, this is what I'm saying."

"Why do you think you can just ask!?"If your husband doesn't appeal to the benefits, they won't be able to decide. "

I see, that makes sense.

"You really know that...?"

Vivien turns to Fiona, who says the same thing with a smile on her face.

It's not a very good idea for my master, but Fiona is indifferent to such polite parts.

"However, I'm troubled." I don't have anything in particular that I can offer these two. ”

It's rank 4, so I don't think I'm having any trouble with my money.

If you look at the two of them again, you can see that they are equipped for the high-ranking adventurer of Rank 4.

Weaponry is the biggest enhancement we can make right now, and the armor is of high quality.

Lechi is a sleeveless shirt, hot pants and exposed outfit, but the pure white fabric is a piece of Mithril's woven physics, magic and high resistance.Each part is equipped with black dragon leather light armor, and this is also of high quality.

Ursula is also wearing a white robe made of mythical fabric.I don't have any armor, but instead I'm wearing some magic item ornaments.

If you are able to challenge the fifth tier on a daily basis, you will be able to equip this level of gear and harvest more.The former poverty had long been lifted out, and the two of them had a truly adventurous finances that spared no expense in equipping them with the best equipment.

"Well then, that kid looks like a magician, so I'll teach you my favorite magic?"Isn't there some kind of witch's polarity? "

"No, I don't think these two will be able to teach me."I didn't want to kill me just now, so I caught him easily... but if I had been blessed, I would have had a hard time. "

It was supposed to be a complete defeat with no hands or feet, but Ursula leaned her neck at Fiona's unexpectedly high praise.

"Hmm. Is it that powerful to protect these children?"

"Based on these signs, it's probably the pure-blooded Barbadians and the Evrahams."Both of these countries were strong enough to invade Sinclair. ”

"Do you know our blessing!?"

As a matter of course, Ursula noticed for the first time the words of Fiona, who told her about her true homeland.This witch is not from Pandora.They're from the Sinclair Republic, just like us.

"It's famous." Don't you know? "

I don't know, Dace. Raki and the others were in the orphanage when they were little.

I see.

Even though she was told about her poor body, Fiona kept moving her eyebrows one by one.

Therefore, even if they were not from an orphanage, the Barbadians and Evrahams living in the Sinclair Republic could not have learned more about the patronage to their homeland, so they calmly analyzed the situation.

Both countries have been destroyed nearly 100 years ago.I don't know if there was a legitimate heir to the blessing at the time.The content that can be publicly known is the one-sided legend of the crucifixion of how these two countries wielded a devilish and terrible power.

A savage Barbatosian who uses his beastly powers.

A terrible Evrauman who uses the power of the curse.

That's the only image that can be conveyed to modern Sinclair.And a mere villain, subdued by the white hero Abel.That is the treatment of two countries.

"If you know our blessing, please tell me."If you can teach me that... I hate Shimonoseki, but I can help you. "

"Huh, Ull, is Death okay?!"

"It's a good decision." There is no other way to get information about the protection of Barbatos and Evraham. ”

Ursula cut off immediately.

Blessing. It is the grace of God's power over man.

In the Sinclair Republic, only the "white god", the only absolute creator god, is allowed to give.But the White God, who is headed by an apostle, has a mighty power.A driving force for dominating half of the Ark and conquering Pandora.

However, it is a polytheism worshipped by many gods in Pandora.People of various races are blessed by various gods.

And for adventurers, gaining the power of protection can be a necessary condition to become stronger.

The two of them were now breaking through the Great Labyrinth as promised with Lily and aiming for Rank 5.Of course, I visited Pandora's temple and investigated the Black Gods to see if we could get some kind of blessing.

However, as a result of an appraisal in the temple at a considerable cost, the blessing has already been granted.

However, it is a god that is not in the tradition of Pandora, unlike any black gods that are passed down in the temple.The protection that has been granted is very weak, and the visible effect has not been particularly effective yet.

And since you have already blessed yourself, you will not be blessed by any other god.

I don't like to make changes. However, since it is a god that cannot be passed down, how can we increase the power of protection or destroy it?

In other words, it just turned out that I didn't know anything.

With this, I gave up my power of protection halfway.But now there is a person here who knows about the protection of Barbados and Ivrahm, whose legend was broken 100 years ago.

"Oh, that's fine, Master!"This feels pretty good! "

"In order to help Chrono-sama, we need protection."Please, please. "

"Oh, please, Maas!"

"... well, I don't mind."

Without thinking too deeply, Fiona decided.It was almost like a decision made on the spot.

Vivien is a little loud, and they're both very enthusiastic.Moreover, even as Fiona, Golem, who still has many constraints on his actions, can't afford to build a new workshop.

The building itself is fine with them, but the interior is very dubious.At the very least, I don't mind dealing with delicate magic items, equipment, rare materials, and more.

In view of that, it is probably not so bad to be able to get the cooperation of two people who have the strength of rank 4 even though they are children.

"But I don't want you to erase your memories after you've taught me."

I see, that's my hand.

Uru!?

"Hey, don't suddenly ruin the negotiation!"

"I know." Vivien should check the secrets here. ”

One day it will be a place to be found out.Not far away, either.

I just want to avoid being found right now, and as a Fiona, I didn't want to focus on covering up the workshop.

"Yeah, yeah, that's fine.That's why you have to accept me as much as I can peek into your heart, both of you. "

"That's all right."

OK, Dess!

For the time being, the story is settled.

But Vivien was the only one who smiled.

"So, um, it was about the blessing of Barbatos and Evraham."

Fiona pulled the giant wing tip that she had just finished eating to the side of the plate, carefully wiped her mouth and hands, and then caught the favorite triangular hat that was right beside her.

Two books were taken out of the triangular hat with the vast "Spatial Magic (Dimension)".

"Indeed, this is the" Book of Great Beasts "written about the Divine Beast of Barbatos, and this is the" Magala Chop "of the Ephraim Magazine."

"Y-you suddenly came out of nowhere..."

This book is somehow dangling death!?

A large book, decorated only with pure white fur, is "The Book of Great Beasts".

In contrast, a small faded black notebook-like book called "Magala Chop".

The two books that Fiona casually took out were not only written about the gods of Barbados and Evraham, but also deserved to be banned in the Sinclair Republic.

And the fact that these are not just names is enough proof that the creepy magic power is clearly emitted from both books.Instead of a magic book as a sorcerer's weapon, a book that harbors the magical power itself in its original sense is a sign of its magical power.A mere fake cannot have that much aura.

Without a doubt, Lechi and Ursula, who had been offered a real forbidden book, were distracted by the flowing rocks, but Fiona told them as if they were going to proceed with just a picture book.

“Do you want to read it here?”
