Kuro no Maou
Episode 16: First Friend
"Grandpa Shima Su"
"Go ahead!"
When I open the cabin door, Lily greets me with a smile, that's all, I'm healed.
However, my current outfit is not a cloak of wet pants, if I am caught in emotion.
"Chrono, this"
"Hmm?"
What Lily offered me was a fluffy rectangular white fabric, a towel?
"Can I use it?
"Yeah."
"Thanks."
In the meantime, this eliminates the need to wear wet pants until they dry.
Let's wrap the towel around our hips and keep the pants off next to the piercing clothes that we left dry on the branches outside.
Wiping my head with a towel, I think.
"Well, I wonder where I can get my clothes for now"
Lily isn't wearing any clothes in the first place, so she won't know the details.
If we go all the way to the village of going to sell medicinal herbs, we'll get about a piece of cloth, just the worst cloth.
"Hey Lily, do you have a shop nearby that sells clothes to a village? If there was, how much?
Oh, you look pompous, didn't it taste good to ask two questions at the same time?
"Hmm, I think he's selling it to a tool shop"
"What store sells tools stores?
"Mmm, anything!
I don't know about the clothes, but Yoroi's for sale!
"You're selling armor, that's for sure selling anything."
I thought it was just daily groceries, but I guess there's more demand for weapons than in my world than in a world where monsters come and go, I can't believe they even handle them in villages.
"Chrono, get up!
"Mm, let me sweeten you up with my words because I don't know what you're talking about in the front door."
The front door, I mean, is it western-style to build a cabin? There's no place to take off your shoes, and the floor just keeps going.
I've never traveled abroad before, but I didn't know you were going to experience the strange feeling of going home without taking off these shoes in another world.
For once, I take a step by paying lightly for the dirt on my feet.
Lily walks barefoot through the wooden floor with pets, just like me.
When I look at Lily, who is only about my knee tall, she even looks big in this cabin, but I feel a little narrow thanks to this big body that grew up in vain.
As a cabin, I guess there's a lot of space there, but crates and mysterious bags are piled up, including large bookshelves and shelves, which make me feel pretty compressed.
Only the beds and small tables provided create a sense of life.
There seems to be a lot that Lily doesn't need to live in, but is it impossible to talk about getting rid of giant bookshelves and shelves with this little body?
"Shut up!
Lily calls to me as I look around the room with Kyoro Kyoro.
Look, Lily jumping on the bed is pounding a white mat with both hands.
I don't have a chair, so if I were to sit down, it would certainly be the only place there.
Sitting back on the bed as I replied, I was unwittingly overwhelmed by Matt's fluffy feel.
I've only ever slept on a hard floor, this softness is too luxurious.
And, when you're soaking,
"I'll make you some tea!
No, I didn't mind, but when I looked at Lily, who sparkled her eyes and was motivated,
"Thanks"
That's all I can say.
I've already borrowed a towel, and if I sit here like this, I'm likely to owe Lily more acceleratively, tea doesn't feel like that first step.
I'm sorry, Lily, but I have nothing but body and black magic right now, because one day I'm gonna give this favor back ten times!
Swearing firmly to my heart, I turn to Lily, who is making tea.
"Phew!!
Lily was spraying fire.
A dragon! And I got up and nearly poked, but calm down, that's just magic.
As the word goes, Lily gave a small cauldron of high heat flame radiation from that little mouth (?).
There were quite a few people who use flaming magic, but I've never seen them spray fire out of their mouths even though they're human, is that fairy magic too?
A lot of questions come up, but I can't speak to Lily as she prepares to make tea too hard.
Let's just say this place is waiting for you.
"Done!
With that voice, my consciousness returns to the real world when I was in a shallow sleep named Thoughts.
Lily, who royally sits on the table, and a cup that raises the hot air and emits a fragrant aroma that is placed in front of her, are placed alongside the teapot.
"Oh, thank you"
I was slightly worried that Lily, who only seemed like a little kid, would be able to fulfill it and have a proper cup of tea, but she is brilliantly prepared.
Is it tea in the cup? Seems pretty close to its color and aroma.
"Drink, Chrono!
Me getting Lily's eyes full of expectations all by myself.
"Ooh, I'll have it -"
And I noticed at the same time I put my hand on the cup.
"That, what's Lily's share?
There are only teapots on the table besides the cup I'm wearing.
Did I inadvertently forget that I don't have her share as a landlord?
"There's only one."
"What?
"Cup"
"Really? How could you..."
After I tell you, maybe you don't have any money? Then I overheard the awkwardness, and I regretted it.
"Nobody, because they're not coming.
But Chrono's here, it's my first time here, Lily. I'm so happy. "
I regretted it more.
Well, is this what it means to be banished from the Fountain of Light?
I guess this wouldn't have happened if I had lived in the village, but Lily can't leave the woods any more than she is a fairy.
That's why I would have enjoyed every day with my people, just like a normal fairy, if I hadn't been banished from the beginning, nothing hard, nothing sad, I could have lived my whole life happily ever after -
But this isn't what I'm supposed to say right now.
It was up to Lily herself to accept that she had been expelled or not to live in the village, you shouldn't deny that.
"It's an honor to have you here, my friend number one."
"Tomodachi?"
"Oh, no matter what you say, we're friends who fought together with Goblin's army on their backs, no doubt already more than just friends!
So I'll be the first one who can help Lily who has never been able to rely on me before.
Ignorance won't do much good in this other world either, but I can still do as much as the monster counterpart.
"Yeah, Lily, Chrono and Tomodachi!
Lily gives me the best smile of the day.
But I think I'd be happier if I made the first friend I could forgive in another world that had only this enemy.
Yes, because I just met her, and I'm glad I came here.
