Kuro no Maou

Episode 28: Curse, Replica and the Ten Virtues Knife

Mukashi, once upon a time, in a small village on a certain border, there was a beautiful girl.

She was smart and so versatile that she completed her medical knowledge and even had the gift of swordsmanship, as well as her beauty. Now, she was an ideal girl, as painted, who was serene and heart-tender in character and also in the position of being the only daughter of the village chief, always liked by everyone in the centre.

She herself would have been satisfied with her previous life, and she should not have been particularly dissatisfied with the decision to engage the strongest warrior man in the village.

But one day when a boy magician visited this village, her fate began to go mad.

The boy came to the village at the request of his exorcism because a powerful monster had recently appeared in the village. Everyone had just been told by the sorcerer, a newcomer as a sorcerer, but the young enthusiasm and righteousness burning boy, the sorcerer took this request with the feeling that no one else was worthy of danger and reward as his mission.

The boy then split into the mountains with the village warriors and headed for the monster exorcism.

But this monster was not only himself powerful, but also the type who worked to the point of bad wisdom, using a herd of small monsters led by himself to ambush the boys and the warriors.

By surprise, the warriors broke apart in scattering, the boy was interrupted by a small monster, unable to attack once, and fled back to the village with his life.

She cured him, who returned seriously wounded, with medical knowledge, but the girl's mood at that time was almost identical to that of all the villagers who were discouraged by this too unusual result.

The wound healed, but the boy had already lost all credibility in the village.

But the boy didn't give up.

This boy was immature in power, but the sense of justice in his heart was not broken by a single defeat, the same as the righteous sorcerer who appeared rightly in Migawa.

Despite the lack of any villagers' cooperation, the boy went into the mountains on his own to exorcise the monsters again.

Regardless, he could not exorcise the powerful monsters that led many flocks, and returned wounded again.

She healed the boy's wounds again, and the villagers scorned the boy who exposed him to an unusual appearance again.

Still, the boy, who would never give up defeating the monster and saving the village, went into the mountains alone again when the wounds healed.

Lose again, ask the girl to heal her wounds, try to monster again, it was repeated over and over again.

The boy gradually gained strength in the fight against monsters and steadily shredded the number of small monster herds.

Still, the key boss monster was alive and well, and from the villagers' point of view, nothing seemed to have improved, nor did it lead to the restoration of trust.

But whenever she came home hurt, only she kept healing him began to review this badly given up boy magician.

It didn't take that long for the girl to keep seeing him, who was always serious and flirtatious, to deepen her thoughts after that.

"Thanks for everything"

It was time for the boy to thank her for healing the wound and try to exorcise the monster several times.

"Me too, will you take me?

She said to the boy, carrying a big wave.

Naturally, the boy said no.

But the girl wished to accompany her diligently.

Says, I want to help you keep fighting alone for the village, Says, I want to fight to save the village too, Says, I am confident in the arms of the sword, Says, I did not bring out the sword, so the village chief will not find out - etc., etc., The girl often used her head to full circle and crushed the words the boy would say no from one end with objections.

"Me too, you'll take me, won't you?

Finally the boy broke, by the girl's much enthusiasm.

but at this point the girl was already, strongly attracted to the boy and really wished to accompany him with all her heart that just wanted to help him.

That means that the village thing is second to none.

Or maybe the girl had already gone crazy since this time, by her first love.

"Yay! It's a big day!

Her addition dramatically increased her power.

It takes chanting to unleash powerful magic, and it takes swordsmen and warriors to really protect themselves to buy that time.

It was only half natural that only one swordsman would join a boy who had more than enough strength in battle with a monster to show more than twice as much power as usual.

In addition, the girl was a brilliant protector of the boy during the chant.

Even though it was huge, despite the fact that it was a monster, she broke all the little monsters aimed at the boy, and her skill was extraordinarily higher than that of the village warriors.

The two boys and the girl always went into the mountains together afterwards, surely pushing the monsters.

"Today is the day to settle -"

So much so that in our last fight we drove the herd to a state of devastation and also let the Boss Monster, our ultimate goal, chase our hand wounds.

The boy consolidates his resolve as the dialogue goes and goes with the girl to the final showdown.

"Yay, I did it -"

After a full day of fierce fighting, the boy and the girl finally defeated the monster.

The boy was glad that, at the end of a long ordeal, he was able to gradually save the village.

But the girl only remembered joy for what the boy was pleased with, not that the village had been saved.

At this time, the girl already had such a crazy love affair that she couldn't think of anything else but the boy's, that she thought everything else was worthless.

Don't tell the villagers, the days of fighting alone with the boy were the most fulfilling of the girl's life.

The two return to the village to let them know that the boy has finally defeated the monster.

In the square where many villagers gathered, including the village chiefs and warriors, with the heads of the monsters taken over, the girl told the hero Tan that she had fought with the boy.

Applause, the villagers sincerely apologize to the boy for his previous disrespect, and the boy who has accomplished such a great deed is welcomed as his own new fiancée, the daughter of the village chief - and, to a detour, the girl did not suspect in any way that would happen until this moment.

"Well, if you defeat the monster, I'll pay the asking fee once.

But I can't forgive you for putting my daughter in danger. I need you to leave the village immediately. "

The girl did not immediately understand the meaning of the words spoken by her own father, the village chief.

From the village, the boy was already so despised that he could not be reviewed, and only gradually could he exorcise the monster and complain "too late now" even if he brought complete peace to the village.

As a village chief, I think that paying the requested remuneration is just a disgraceful treatment.

Above all, all the villagers as well as the village chief were angry that the boy had engaged her in a dangerous battle, beloved by everyone.

"No..."

Why, but there is no way that a smart girlfriend could not immediately understand the heart of a villager, and in the end, the girl just didn't want to understand.

But watch the boy bow his head deeply and apologize.

"Thanks till now, goodbye"

And the moment the boy's words reached his ear, which he said with a sad face, the girl's world flipped.

Bless yourself and him, the beloved village you have ever grown has become a more unforgivable enemy than a monster, breaking the boy's heart.

"I won't allow it -"

First, he turned down the head of his father, the village chief.

Next, I tore the belly of a man named after a fiancé or something I didn't know about Wake.

Later, he slaughtered the ‘monster’, who looked like a villager, just to get into view.

"I will never forgive you!!

Reinforced by the boy's magic, Daiju has slaughtered many monsters so far, and finally even his boss, thus exerting a slight but magical power that transcends the sword of the line.

There was no such thing in this village as being able to stop her from using the Great Jade that turned into the Devil's Sword and not hesitating in any way to slaughter people driven by passion.

The girl slaughtered everyone she could see.

Later all that remained was a boy too suddenly tragic to move, a bloody girl with a miserable grin.

"Duh, why, like this..."

Squeeze your favorite cane as you sit down on the ground and give a trembling voice to the girl.

"Why? It will be decided -"

The girl replied with an adorable smile that attracted everyone.

"Because I love you."

And the great curse of love and hatred was born.

For a girl, the only world to protect is her and the boy, and everything else is hostile, and there is no distinction between people and monsters, so there is a curse for indiscriminate attacks.

"- I have a super bad history."

Daiju, the curse weapon captured from the goblins.

The results of the appraisal at the tool store led me to learn such a bloody old story about the other world that I didn't really want to know.

I mean, I didn't know appraisal was even going to find out how such a curse was born... No, magic is amazing.

Incidentally, the official name is "Curse" Tsukuba, "and when the blade is further strengthened by sucking blood, the name and shape change?

It's a totally horrible level up feature, I wanted you to at least put it a little softer like XP or something, the blade sucks blood...

"So, the black tact over here seems to have a legendary weapon with a magic called a black barista, because it's a replica version of the sole."

It is told that magic such as the original black barista shoots out a black magic crossbow that penetrates any wall.

I don't know what it's actually like, but at least in the replica, it's something that's pretty much identical to the way I magically fire a bullet, and it's a dish that boasts of extraordinary compatibility with me: just exercising a shotgun or rifle through a tact can produce more power than usual.

"If you're a knife, I hear you're going to be able to use some flame magic with 'Ifried's Thumb'."

It sounds good to say that the identity of the knife that was in the chest with Tact was the knife where the magic of flames resides, but I can use 'some flame magic' because I'm the one...

"Er, it's like I can only use two things: putting out a small fire, and a flaming line of power where bugs can burn."

When it comes to flaming magic, it's actually only a substitute for lighters and insect repellents.

Practical when it comes to practical, but kind of a bit sad for too low a power.

"And there's a curse weapon I bought from a tool store, but, um, this is also a difficult thing to use in action"

It would have been nice to have a sword or something straight, but as for things, it's a 'needle', so I'm even suspicious if it could be called a weapon in the first place.

Well, I bought it because it was cheap...

"Hey, hey, Chrono."

"Hmm?"

"What happened to the boy and the girl after that?

Even with such a cruel old story, it seemed to draw Lily's interest to see if it was quite funny.

"Uh, yeah.

They lived happily ever after. Congratulations. "

Then, starting with the dagger raptor, he arrived safely where the lixey grass was native, without being attacked by any other monster.

"Oh, you've grown quite a lot, I think I can take this back to a bag"

Liquisey grass is plain grass that you would overlook if you didn't know it was sole.

If you are going to mention the characteristics strongly, they are shiny leaves like tampons, but they still don't bloom, so they look very different from other weeds.

However, as it grows in the depths of this fairy garden, it is said that it does not grow unless it is in a somewhat magical environment.

Magic not only affects people and monsters, but also grasshoppers. It is difficult for me in modern times to understand.

"I really don't know what this is about."

"You can't use this herb as it is, can you?

"Speaking of which, Mr. Nyaleko said that too.

When it comes to herbs, I think it's okay for me to recover from HP 10 or so. "

"Eh, chippy?

While explaining the concept of HP to Lily, I was remembering Nyaleko's story about many things that would not work if they weren't properly fried or processed and drugged.

Lily is right, lixei grass has no healing effect when used alone on the human body.

It seems natural to be taught if you live in any rural area that even if you don't professionally complete pharmacy, these medicinal herbs are not as effective or effective as they are, and many know them.

However, some people from the city mistakenly believe that any herb that serves as a raw material for potions and wound medicines works.

I was totally the latter ignorant type, embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'll remember it from now on."

I'll mow the lixey grass from the roots with Ifried's thumb, of course I won't let the fire out, what if it does.

"I can't believe the knife, the lighter and the insect repellent went hand in hand, it's so versatile like a ten virtue knife."

It's like I can't feel the magic gratitude of flames, but it's helping, so let's be cool.

"Speaking of which, how is Lily mowing the grass?

Even if I have flesh that exerts more power than an ordinary person without magic, a knife is definitely faster to harvest.

Lily obviously seems inefficient to take it with her bare hands, but she can't even have a knife or a sickle without clothes on.

With the mundane questions, I'll observe Lily encouraging me to harvest as hard as a kindergartner who has a potato digging experience behind my back.

When Lily grabs the root of the grass with its little palms, the patch and light blink in her hand.

Next, the grass is already completely separated from the roots, just throw it into the bag Lily holds on the side.

"You're burning it out with a laser... horrible kid"

It was still a magical force that Lily could harvest herbs without any problems with her bare hands.

Um, I need to learn to be more applied, too, as a wizard!

After a glimpse of Lily's insignificant use of magic, I decided to improve my skills as a wizard.

By the way, the bags of herbs Lily collected herself, seeing as they were magically stored in her own space, made me a bit of a dent again. I thought space magic was my exclusive patent for manipulating 'Shadow Space'...

Oh, no particular trouble after this, the quest was accomplished safely.

Since I had taken exactly three bags, a set of potions with 1000 milligrams of lixei grass extract was presented by my client, the tool store owner.

But I can't think of a time to use the potion, which is good to keep, because I don't seem to get hurt or anything on my Rank 1 quest, but is this okay with expiration dates or something?
