Kuro no Maou

"No, thank you so much, Lily."

I murmured with a sting.

I already have two fiancés, and even if my earliest mouth tears, I can't say that I've had zero love experiences.

Lily and Fiona dived through death battles with the Crusaders as part of the adventurers they had slept with, and even survived the hell they fought on their own. As a romantic experience, I can say that I have experienced a rich experience without interruption.

But I want you to wait a moment. Even though I've had this many experiences, that's probably not the case at all, as far as my treatment and hospitality of women is concerned.

In short, I didn't have the confidence to produce a nice date.

This is pathetic, but I want you to give me an excuse. Sure enough, Lily and Fiona have dated many times. But these two were able to deal with each other in a natural way, for better or for worse.

There was no strain on my shoulders, and we talked to each other as we liked, so there was no problem. I didn't have to shy away from it in a good way, and I didn't have to shy away from it either. It may be an ideal form of relationship between a man and a woman.

However, the opponent's opponent, Nell, was different.

Her feelings were received. And I accepted it. But if that's the case, and you're asked whether you can become a careless person right now, it's another matter.

At least until now, even though I was a dear friend of Nell, as a single woman and as a princess, I remained in a relationship that caught the line of moderation.

But to this day, we have been forced to move forward in our relationship. From now on, as a single lover, instead of just a friend, I'm going to ask Nell out on a date.

In this case, it's a no-plan match. Isn't it natural that you want to put your temper and do what you can?

That's true for any man. It was my first date with a cute girl, and I don't have any temper.

In other words, my mood was like that, and I was bothered badly by what to do with the most important date plan.

Yes, it's in its past form.

I thought I shouldn't rely on it all this time, but thanks to Lily's recommendation of "Destiny Land", I decided on a perfect plan.

Needless to say, Tokyo's landmark in Chiba, Japan's most famous city, is a classic date course. I had only been on a family vacation as a child, but if I hadn't been summoned to another world, I might have gone with Shirazaki-san on my own once ————

……

Sarriel, why are you staring at me here?

Saliel, the maid who appears as a farewell, looks at me with all his thoughts and gaze. Is it my fantasy of being a victim?

In any case, Tokyo's landmarks in Chiba Prefecture are perfect for dating. It may be said that it is too classic and honest, but that is why it is a royal road that cannot be taken off for once in life.

Unfortunately, Lily and Fiona weren't blessed with the opportunity to make a fancy date based on that idea, but I think it's about time.

“I had my first date at Destiny Land. And spend the night in a Landmark hotel... wouldn't it be a perfect plan?"

It's a plan that junior high and high school students are likely to think about, isn't it? If the amusement park did not exist in the first place, this theme park could be called state-of-the-art leisure. Experience excitement and inspiring amusement like no noble prince of any country has ever experienced!

Well then, let's go.

Yes, Master.

"Welcome, Master."

Sarriel and Prim bowed their heads together.

"If you need anything, please contact us immediately through" "Maximilian" "." The Homunculus of Rand will do their best. ”

"Oh, just in case of an accident, please."

I will say goodbye, but I didn't say I wouldn't follow.

Sarriel and Prim will move on to my protection. In addition to these two, a considerable number of people are supposed to shadow me in places that are out of my sight.

Leave me alone on my date, it's too late. From the standpoint, it is divided into a response that can't be helped.

I went as far as I could to the rendezvous point.

In the first place, Nell is on the fifth level just like us, so we can go together from the start... but it's like a date, and I want to start with a meeting.

The meeting point is the first-floor entrance of the giant tower Temen Niglu, which stands in the center of the pandemonium.

Originally, it was the site of a large monolith that served as the entrance to the Great Labyrinth when it was first discovered.

Now that Lily is reigning as Queen, the central point of the transfer network to various places is being used more than during the Carlamara period. Every day there was a level of crowds reminiscent of Tokyo's commuting rush, but now it was quiet with Shin. It was as if I had become a dungeon.

Well, I guess Lily took it easy on me.

Only one figure stood at the center of the entrance, which was dominated by silence that seemed even more creepy, in contrast to the usual busyness.

With a black dyed monolith on his back, he rolled up a pure white costume and large wings.

"I'm sorry, Nell. Did you keep me waiting?"

"No, no! I was just here!"

Pyuu, a bright red-faced funnel was there, almost standing in steam.

The white costume is not a healing sorcerer's robe. She wears a simple, discreet, but high-quality pure white dress. Snowy white skin and feminine stunning proportions. And most of all, the white wings spreading on the back embody a beauty that is nothing but an angel.....

"Hey, how are you today, Hitoshi!?"

"You don't have to be so nervous."

Probably the temperature is such that I don't know what I'm talking about.

Certainly, this is the first time I've had a date face to face, but it must have happened many times before to be alone. When I was doing magic classes in the Omboro dormitory, I was closer to the distance.

"I'm sorry, I..."

“You don't have to worry about anything. Today, if we can just have fun together, that's all."

That's what I told myself, and I took Nell's hand.

"It's so beautiful. That outfit looks good on you, Nell."

It's an embarrassing conversation that you don't usually have to say. But sometimes I have to tell a man.

Oh, shit, I'm the one that's nervous. Your face hasn't turned red, has it?

"Huh, yes... thank you, Chrono-kun"

While dyeing her cheeks with vermilion, Nell gave her a glittering smile like a starry sky.

And then, your palm gripped back tightly, hey, isn't this too strong...?

"Well then, let's go." There's a place I really want to take Nell today. "

Without ever letting go of this hand, I began to escort Nell while keeping my smile in my spare time, even as I gripped it tightly.

"It's already morning..."

Good morning, my name is Nell.

It was a nell who barely slept because of the tension.

As a princess of a country, a rank 5 adventurer, and with the appropriate experience, even on the eve of the Avalon Liberation War, I had enough mental capacity to sleep Suyasya in order to nourish my spirit, but last night it was completely bad.

However, that would be unavoidable.

Today, on this day, I am finally bound to Chrono-kun!

I can tie it!!

I said it twice because it was important.

Yes, today, this time, it's really tied. This time it's not a lie.

You will never be disturbed. No evil fairy, no witch, no age-conscious dragon, no other phenomenon, no matter who it is, I will not be allowed to break in with Chrono-kun today.

I've had several chances to make contact with him. I've missed all the opportunities, and I know all too well that I'm unjust.

The memories of innocent failures and defeats are intensely traumatized and engraved in my mind, but now I'm going to overcome my past self. Goodbye, miserable old me. Hello, the rosy future. The new love life with Chrono-kun that is about to begin shines pink and I can't see the front.

"---- Ha!?"

By the time I realized it, I had been dressed by a maid.

Serving since childhood, the girls have remained in the care of Avalon Royal Castle unchanged even when they were under house arrest, and they are still there when they arrive at the Pandemonium.

The maids who knew that today was the biggest battle of my generation have always finished perfectly.

It's beautiful, Princess Nell.

"...... Is this really enough?" After all, I wonder if it's a little plain. "

It's perfectly coordinated based on His Majesty's favorite research.

“There's no doubt that there's a tendency not to like being too flashy. In a nutshell, it would be the best strategy in this battle to enhance the princess's clear beauty."

“I see. I'm sorry, I'm a little worried.”

As we come to today's date, we have carefully deliberated on what to dress.

The main piece, the pure white one-piece, is a simple is vest. Believing only in his strong swordsmanship skills, he is just like a swordsman heading to the battlefield with one sword of love.

Well then, let's go.

Good luck, Princess Nell!

Then I will go on a date of destiny.

If you pass the transfer, you will arrive at the rendezvous point immediately. The time was 30 minutes before the appointment.

I wanted to arrive one or two hours early, but when I did that, I felt sorry for the other person for having waited too long, so I was strongly held back because it would outweigh the disadvantages.

”Sigh... hah...”

It's like taking a deep breath in front of an unpopular monolith.

From here on out, some gaps are unacceptable. Complete today's date with the perfect Lady's response suitable for Chrono-kun.

If you don't get in the way, you'll have to compete with yourself. In front of you, I will never expose you!

And tonight will be a wonderful night to remember forever... ehehehe...

"I'm sorry, Nell. Did you keep me waiting?"

"No, no! I was just here!"

What did I just say?

Chrono-kun, what are you doing here? Just 30 minutes before the appointment, wait a minute, wait a minute, you're still ready to go.

"Hey, how are you today, Hitoshi!?"

"You don't have to be so nervous."

Ah, it's over.....

Looking at Chrono-kun's face with a bitter smile, I almost fell to my own shameful attitude.

Why, why are you doing this.....

"I'm sorry, I..."

“You don't have to worry about anything. Today, if we can just have fun together, that's fine ———— It's very beautiful. Those clothes look good on you, Nell."

He held his hand gently and said so with a gentle smile. He just opened his eyes and stole my heart.

The disgrace that had dominated your chest to the brink of death quickly blew away, and you felt as warm as a yang. It's too warm, and the intense emotions that burn like magma from the depths begin to swirl.

"Huh, yes... thank you, Chrono-kun"

Oh, I like it, I like it, I love it.

I can't think of anything but you anymore.

Don't let go of this hand you've grabbed. Never let go. Is it something that can be let go?

"Well then, let's go." There's a place I really want to take Nell today. "

Yeah, take me anywhere.

So hurry, hurry, hurry, take me away. With your hand, everything about me ─ ahhh, I'm not going to be able to wait until night.

While being made to kyun by the initial appearance of Nell with her cheeks dyed vermilion while bowing embarrassedly, she pulled her hand back. Currently, it was in the Rank 5 Dungeon "God Annihilation Realm Avalon", the only realm under the direct control of Devil King Chrono.

"---- Welcome to Dreams and Magic Paradise, Destiny Land!!"

Just like one day, the mascot characters in their clothes will appear and greet you with a happy feeling.

I will not blow it up with my first grenade this time. Now they are not Lily's traps, but rather the employees of the amusement park, the cast, or the homuncles who were pushed into work for that purpose.

”Um, Chrono-kun... here...”

Oh, it's Destiny Land. Didn't Nell fight Lily here too?

Nell nodded with a strange expression of confusion and vigilance.

Speaking of which, I didn't mind checking the state of reconstruction of Destiny Land for a while, but from Nell's point of view, I haven't visited since the battle with Lily. Therefore, there was still a strong impression that it was the place where the death battle had been fought.

"... maybe if you don't defeat Lily here, you won't be officially engaged to Chrono-kun. Is that what this is about?"

No, not at all!

With that, I panicked into explaining to Nell, who was so determined to fight.

"This is an ancient amusement park... well, it was a big entertainment complex that a lot of people came to visit."

I see, I do have a pleasant atmosphere, but I thought it was Lily's hobby.

“I'm just trying to be as faithful as I can.”

Dazzling, colourful lighting brings cheerful BGM from somewhere. Atmospherically, it was a perfect amusement park, and as far as I could see from here, I couldn't see any signs of collapse in the battle with Lily.

Strongly speaking, the only difficulty was that the red sky was spreading with the evil feeling of the Divine Annihilation Realm. Well, don't worry about it now. I don't need protection to play in the amusement park.

"Finally, I was able to recover enough to play." That's why we're going to be the first guests of the modern Destiny Land. ”

That's how it was, isn't it?

"Besides, in my hometown, inviting people to an amusement park is a classic date." Even though I say that, I have a bit of an admiration... but I'm sure Nell will enjoy it anyway. "

"Thank you, you've been thinking so much about me."

Having said that, Nell no longer showed any signs of vigilance. Good, now we can clear up the misunderstanding.

Now, let's enjoy the second cup of land.

The time of my dreams has passed.

Distigny Land, the place where Lily once lost mercilessly. I was alert at first, but when Chrono-kun pulled me down and started walking around the park, I quickly became obsessed.

Colourful and pop buildings like the one depicted in Mikazaki's picture book, and a sight like a ruin dungeon in another corner. And somewhere else, there is a beautiful and stunning garden.

A mysterious place where various landscapes are gathered together in a single site. However, all of them seemed to be creating excitement with curiosity and expectations.

Just looking at it made me feel that way, but the real way to play here was to use a variety of facilities called attractions.

They were created by an ancient magic technique, but they simply ran at high speeds, circled, and fell in a determined movement.

At first, I wondered why such a limited and senseless thing could be created in an ancient world that boasts magic technology such as flying huge hulls into the air and transferring them around the world... I see, I actually got on board and I understood.

These are, to put it mildly, huge playground equipment. Like a swing hanging from a large tree, it's just for riding and playing.

No matter how fast these attractions run and fall, you can run and jump faster if you have the physical abilities and martial arts that are appropriate for a Rank 5 adventurer.

But it wasn't. That's not the case.

It's just funny to leave this giant plaything running.

If I get on, I'll know. I don't know the significance of the coaster, but I know what Chrono said. This is certainly some kind of fun that you don't know until you get on it.

And with the charm of the many attractions that my body feels, and the excitement of experiencing them with the people I love the most in the world, I quickly became obsessed and played around.

Neither the land of kinship, nor the homunculus dressed like the beasts of the Four-headed Man. Yeah, sure, this place is built to keep people entertained.

Rushing around with Chrono in hand, it's as if you've lost yourself in the land of dreams.

That's why such a dreamy time of fun has quickly passed.

"----Nell, I'm going to invite you to my castle tonight." Will you come with me? "

"Yes, gladly."

After a lovely dinner, an invitation finally arrived to the Castle of the Demon King, a white castle that stands symbolically in the middle of the landmark. I've come.

"I'm not leaving tonight..."

"Yeah, I know."

As I saw through my floating heart, Chrono takes a gentle smile and begins to escort me.

Every step you take, every step you take toward the castle, your heart beats.

It is today, it is tonight, and I am finally bound to him. Nobody gets in the way, nobody gets in the way.

As if mocking such a strong readiness, without really getting in any way, I reached ———— on the bed.

Goodbye, pure and innocent girl of mine.

From now on, I will be an adult woman who knows true love.

"Nell..."

"Chrono-kun... I love you."

Thus, I exchanged love with my aspirant Chrono-kun.

"---- Ha!?"

I wake up.

It was as if I had noticed that I had been unconscious for a moment during the battle, immediately after I woke up.

Giwari, cold sweat passes through her body.

I can feel the sweat drooping from my forehead, and the sweat flowing from my neck to the valley of my chest.

I finally realized that I was naked and lying on the bed.

"Ah, morning...?"

Chung Chung, the birds chirping out of nowhere.

The thick curtains on the large windows let the morning sun shine through the room.

"Good morning, Nell."

I looked back at the voice that I heard right next to me.

There was Chrono, who was lying untied just like me.

"Ah... ah, uh, I..."

His voice trembled as he wandered through the dungeons of the snowy mountains, freezing to death.

However, the feeling of despair, which was even darker and colder, was starting to press heavily on my chest.

When you realize it, it's over.

But I couldn't help but check.

I swayed my courage, no, just a dull head of fear, and I listened without thinking.

"I, last night--"

Nell

A gentle call, like a father telling his young daughter.

And Chrono continued with a smile that made him feel the love of a saint.

"Don't worry about anything." If it's the first time, everyone will fail. "

Failed.

I failed... I failed...

Failed ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!?
