Kuro no Maou

"Ughh, it's been a long time since I've been home!"

"It's hard to say that you already live there."

In the twilight of the city, two girls walking in black uniforms and skirts will look like students on their way home.

However, the costume is not a school uniform, but a military costume of the Elrode Imperial Army. Shining on the chest are class insignia that mimic the stars and an exclusive emblem that shows the belonging of a prodigious elite army.

Having dived through a rigorous selection process and become the first assault battalion members, Lechi and Ursula are heading to the orphanage they originally lived in, The House of the Rabbit, because they will be taking a day off tomorrow, the day they are preparing to go to Verdoria.

Since joining the army, even though it is a high-ranking adventurer, the army has been training recruits (bootcamps) to break into basic military rules. Of course, there was no rest. It was really the first time in a long time that he had come home, as Lechi had said.

But after all, it feels like a place for everyone to go back to.

"Yeah, it's kind of like a family anymore."

As promised by Lily, the two of them continued their activities as adventurers. Because I wanted to catch up with Chrono as soon as possible and continued to challenge the Great Labyrinth, I never spent much time at the orphanage, which was finally a place of rest.

After meeting Fiona in the mischief of fate, she often stayed in the secret witch workshop as part of her training, apart from the dungeon conquest. Whether it was a training or just worked well by the body, there are some suspicious parts, but there are no complaints after the results are produced.

Thanks to you, I was able to join the Imperial elite on a clear day.

Based on Fiona's advice, if I hadn't been able to get protection, I wouldn't have been able to take the selection exam in the first place.

The new fifth tier of the Great Labyrinth, "The Abyss", succeeded in defeating the boss monster at rank 5, and it fulfilled its promise to Lily.

The two of them were admirably empowered, showed it, and earned the right to face the battlefield with dignity.

In the meantime, I forgot about the coming battle, and when I could meet the children who were as important as my family for a long time, I was two people in a light footsteps.

"I'm dying!!"

"I'm home."

As their voices echoed through the doorway of the orphanage, the children immediately came out with a noisy footsteps.

Welcome back!

Welcome back ~

"Oh, it's a uniform."

"Cool."

No one is here to blame for making noise when it's too late. On the doorstep, of course, the children were happy to see each other again after a long time, as was Lechi and Ursula.

"... Welcome back, Sister Lechi, Sister Uru"

Behind the teasing children, the tallest little girl stood modestly, staring at them and shouting.

Instantly, Lechi and Ursula knelt down on the spot.

All for Ell Road!!

"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"

It's reflexive behavior that leaves no room for thought.

On your knees, your head drooping. There is no room for thought to intervene.

"I'm Lillian. Lily, you're not onee-sama, so it's okay."

"Ha!? Lillian!"

”Ugh, now my body is imprinting on its own... what a horrible imprint...”

The youngest Lillian is a very adorable girl with sparkling emerald eyes and beautiful long platinum blonde hair that resembles Lily and acts as her shadow warrior.

The figure of Lillian, dressed in a one-piece dress with young grass color, can only be seen as a great fairy queen reflected in the vision every day.

As soon as he saw the figure, he was "educated" as an imperial citizen and as an imperial soldier as an absolute discipline.

It was impossible to tell the two men who had just finished the Imperial Bootcamp that they had noticed the difference when they saw Lilian, who looked just like Lily.

"Great, Lillian's been home tonight, too."

"I hear you're busy at work, Death. You're not forced to do that, are you, Death?"

"Yeah, it's okay. Everyone's nice."

The fact that Lillian is a shadow warrior hasn't been passed on to Lechi or Ursula because of some kind of classified information. However, it is only reported that she is expected to be talented and engages in important work at Temen Nigul almost every day.

In the busy adventurer's life these days, Lillian, who had barely returned to the orphanage and continued to work in secret, had a particularly diminished chance of meeting her face.

In the meantime, after seeing their stretched backs and their adult and calm standing behavior, Lechi and Ursula naturally understood Lillian's struggle and growth, and they felt the impatience as elderly people.

"Lillian is so great." I'm doing my best. "

You've grown to be a Death!

However, the two of them had grown up enough to smile and celebrate Lillian without making a cigarette out of it.

Lillian grew more spiritually through her activities as a shadow warrior. After understanding their feelings, she responded with a smile.

Yeah, I'll do my best for everyone.

The two held her tightly as they laughed cheerfully at her young age.

In such an inspiring scene, the two of them, with a sense of being sharpened as high-ranking adventurers, immediately perceived the sign of a person approaching the front door.

Release Lillian, let the children go, and stand at the door.

During this time, no one visits the orphanage for a proper reason. Compared to the era of Carlamara, the security of pandemonium is as different as the heavens and the earth. However, it was natural for two people who had had harsh experiences to be more vigilant.

Instead of hiding their footsteps, they head straight for us.

The number of people is two. One is big, the other is small. Reki, who had instantly judged it by the slightest footsteps, finally told her partner.

At any time, the two greeted an unknown visitor by taking a position to pull their weapons out of the bag of spatial magic (dimension).

"The door is open. Go ahead."

Ursula tried to be calm as she grabbed the sign of knocking in front of the door.

Shortly thereafter, the door opened rattlingly, as it was said,

Good evening, Lechi, Ursula. It's been a long time.

"Ugh, Chrono-sama..."

Chrono-sama!

The imperial army's educational gift, the reflexive flattening ———— Without making any mistake, the two clung to Chrono, who appeared without a pair.

When was the last time you saw him?

I want to see him, but I never wanted to see him because I realized that I was short of everything to stand next to him, who became the devil's king.

Even though I decided to do it myself, I feel painful, bitter, and falling in love.

However, if it appeared like a surprise, the suppression was no longer effective.

The passion for a man named Chrono, rather than an absolute monarch who had to bend his knees and greet him with his head hanging down, exceeded the iron discipline.

"I'm sorry I haven't been able to see you all this time."

"No, no, no, no, no, no..."

"I want to dream that Lord Chrono will come, Death"

With an uncontrollable emotion, Chrono gently hugged the two who followed her in tears.

So, why did you go to Lechi and the others?

I can't believe the Demon King came all this way.

"I just came because I wanted to." Sarriel's coming with us. "

"It's been a long time, Lech, Ursula."

Ah, Sister Yuri!

No, Sariel-sama.

"I don't need a title."

Well, should I call you Colonel Death?

I'm no longer an Imperial serviceman, so I can't defy my superiors.

“That's not necessary.”

Behind Chrono, Sarriel, in an unobtrusive robe standing quietly, refused to do so.

She also spent the same time in the reclaimed village. As for Lechi and Ursula, there is no one else but Sarriel, just like Chrono.

"Welcome, Demon King. I am grateful and honored."

"It's okay, Lillian." Today I'm not here as a demon king, but as a chrono. "

In contrast to Lechi and Ursula, who jumped at the sight of her face, Lillian bowed down in gratitude on the spot.

Little Lillian, who is still less than ten years old, pushed it to the point where she could do it, and regret stung her conscience.

Chrono broke his knee in front of Lillian, who didn't lift his head, and lifted up his little body. Just like the day I was there.

"If you don't mind, why don't you let me stay here today?" I have a lot to talk about. "

While Chrono was taking Sarriel to visit the orphanage, Nell went to the place again with some cruelty.

It is the residence of Wilhard, who became King Sparda and served as a lieutenant general of the Imperial Army.

However, the landlord, Will, only gave permission, and it was Charlotte, her sister, who invited Nell.

Somehow, I can finally calm down and talk to you

"I'm sorry, I've been so busy since Avalon came here."

In front of the familiar Charlotte, Nell gave a heartfelt gentle smile.

Recently, Chrono's opponent has suffered a great deal of disorder, and she hasn't been bothered by all sorts of things, but is she still the best friend she can forgive?

After all, I'll be busy fighting again soon.

And the third Kai, who was invited here, lavishly pounded against the boned flesh.

Charlotte's call brought together members of Nell and Kai's Wing Road.

In the end, Nero's Apostolic Awakening left the "Wing Road" split in two in the village of Dakia. And even if you don't say anything, everyone knows that you probably won't ever come back.

Didn't you become an elite unit?

"Oh, it's the First Storm Battalion."

I think it's perfect for Kai-san.

"That's right, I only have a sword." If you can't charge to the front line, you're just an idiot. "

"Fufu, that's not true." I may be mistaken, but I'm sorry. At Avalon, it seemed like you had a lot of trouble. "

"Stop it, I just wanted to remind you that I'm just a swordsmanship idiot."

“I wanted to join the Avalon War of Liberation!”

"Almost, the Emperor himself leads only a few maneuvers into the enemy state. This is a ridiculous operation." Even if your sorcerer squad is formed in time, Chrono won't take you there. "

That's right. From now on, you shouldn't embarrass Chrono too much.

"I know." But you said that Nell was captured and sent to Kai to mine! I should have gone to save my friend's pinch! "

"I'm sorry, but Chrono is the only one who can help me."

Ahh, well, the no-locations have begun.

"Nell, I won't say bad things, so stop today." I remember something I don't like. "

"Why do you say such a terrible thing!?"

The dialogue already reminded him of something he didn't like, but Nell stirred up a glass of wine to forget it. And it also touches the boned meat.

Ideal princess and prestigious Nell, but she is also an adventurer. In situations where table manners are unnecessary, drinking alcohol and eating meat is also possible. Especially if you want to forget something you don't like.

The reason why Chrono does not show the shameful binge eating is because it is in front of a party member with a good heart.

"Oh, you can drink it today." I also have some brews. "

I'd like a jock, please.

"Oh, I'm a mead."

Here, come on.

"Don't give me every bottle!" Pour it properly! "

"Don't be so naive. Keep going."

Mhhhh, you're lacking in Delicacy

Even though I was sharpening my mouth, it was troublesome to pour it myself, and Chartreuse, who drank from bottle to bottle, was still a single adventurer.

So, this time, Shal, you're going to join the fight, right?

"Of course, I'll ride a Shangri-La just like you."

Huh, you're going down as well?

"Don't join the assault idiots. We're defending Shangri-La. I didn't think the Sky Battleship was going to fall, but it was a massive Dragon Knights. Just in case, right?

"I can't reach the Dragon Knight with my sword." I'll take care of them. "

You are the best, come and rage in the enemy royal castle.

"Heehee, look, I'll put my head up for you."

---- Puhaha! I'm on a Shangri-La, too!

Don and Nell, who had put a big jock on the table, put on a white beard of bubbles, and somehow spoke with a boastful expression.

The vermilion on his cheeks was pointed at him, and he obviously became drunk quickly because he drank something that he didn't normally drink.

Nell is a healer unit after all.

"You must be a lieutenant general." Suddenly it's a little cheating to be a general? "

"Fufu, I'm Avalon's princess."

"I'm the princess of Sparda, right?" But you're a major, right?? "

His Majesty the Demon King's fiancée, so...

Muhu was a nell who spoke out with a drunken blush.

Oh, I'm a lieutenant colonel now.

"Eh, hey, why are you higher!?"

No, I'm the commander of the assault squad.

Is Kai the captain?!

Your Majesty the Devil, you've been nominated.

You're the captain, and you're going to storm it and destroy it.

It's all right, Nell will help you recover.

"Yeah, I'll recover. It's Chrono's daughter-in-law."

It looks like Nell can't do it anymore.

Oh, don't push yourself. You can go to sleep.

"It's okay. I'll give birth to Chrono-kun's child enough to form the Knights, ehehe..."

"Yes, yes, good night."

Charlotte was guided to the soft sofa, where Nell, who was groping and babbling with her eyes, lay down.

”Uuuu... I'm going to be a grown woman this time...”

Saying so, when he lay down, the large white wings collapsed to envelop him, and he immediately began to sleep with Suyasuya.

Looking at Nell's figure, Charlotte sighed deliberately as she returned to her seat.

Ahhh, that's nice, Nell.

What, did you want to marry Chrono, too?

"Stop joking."

"I hate it like I used to, but I don't know."

"I already know he's not the bad guy. Amazing man, so strong, so gentle, so quick to enter the Empire... that's why I really think he can leave it to Nell."

I'll take care of it. As for me, it's finally done well, and I feel safe with my friends.

"You don't burn people's porn."

"There were a lot of things going on here." Dakia, sometimes it's part of the story---would you rather get married than that? "

"Of course, I'm also a maiden." But look, I'm not going to go like Nell anymore. "

"I think it's good that you're engaged to Chrono for Sparda."

"Yes, I usually think so." I also know that as the princess left behind by Sparda, that's the best thing to do -- but I can't do that. "

Can't you forget about Nero?

"It doesn't matter." To become Chrono's demon king's bride, there are already strict conditions. A terrible queen and a witch are watching. If you don't have as many talents as Nell really likes, you won't be qualified to stand beside him. "

I think you're just as attractive and talented as Nell.

“It's unusual for you to be able to say such a thoughtful line.”

With a sarcastic smile, Charlotte stirred up all the mead left in the jar.

The rich sweetness and definite aroma of alcohol make the unpleasant feeling of swirling in your head fade.

”I'm just jealous... of the person I like with my chest open, and of the Nell I've been tied to”

Shal

Kai's voice echoed strongly as he could only hear the little Nell's sleep.

Left to the drunkenness that came around, Charlotte heard it with her fuzzy head.

"Why don't you marry me?"
