Kuro no Maou

"Welcome to the First Institute of 'White Miracles', Chief Priest Ars, no, I wonder if he was now a high priest, congratulations on his promotion"

"... I ask you to stop being sarcastic, Bishop Judas"

I wonder why I'm here.

"It will be true that he became a high priest, even if it was brought about once again by the death of his superiors"

"You know, there's this terrible state of affairs where young men like me have to be high priests."

Two men talking about something.

One knows, Bishop Judas, a very, great man.

I don't know the other one, but maybe a great guy.

"There are no more troops left in this parish that can stop the next invasion. We need help from the church as soon as possible."

"Good, don't say anything more.

Is it not foolish to say that the parish in your charge has already been abandoned from the Church?

I wonder what you're talking about.

I don't get the story of a great man.

"... it would be awesome if you told us to die and that abominable heathen army would have to kill us!

"Don't you understand?

So, why don't you let me know what you're here to see me about?

I'm kind of scared.

I don't really know about dying or killing, but I think that's very scary.

"Bishop Judas, you remain in this place under this circumstance where the other priests flee.

I don't know when pagans are going to crash into a dangerous place like this, but it's not just for research. "

"Hmm, Hmm, so?

Pagans...... people who don't believe in God, have never seen them.

What kind of horrible people are they?

"You are a bishop, a higher rank than I am today, and you once came to this institution to the Holy Father.

You have quite a connection to Elysion, but no, more frankly, isn't there an athe of war that can only ensure the safety of this area?

I've never heard the Pope come here before.

It's kind of awesome, but I'm not sure what's awesome.

"I see, if we go through Non, we can pull reinforcements out of the church, that's the kind of expectation."

"I understand you can't, please.

If I shoot that heathen away, and at dawn, when peace and God's blessings are restored to this parish, I swear to God that I will pay you whatever the reward may be. "

A man is bowing his head.

The guy with the big back, but the look, he looked so pathetic.

"... um, well, okay"

"Oh, oh, it's true -"

A man who says a lot of thanks looks very happy, a little different, I'm sure this kind of thing is, ‘to be saved’.

"Sariel."

"Yes."

Suddenly, I am surprised that Bishop Judas called me.

But I'm sure no one will know I was surprised, because everyone says with my mouth shut that my face is like a doll.

Because I'm better at keeping quiet than laughing, crying, yes, for a long time.

"Bishop Judas, the girl, what the hell?

"‘Reinforcements’ that the Lord wants, come on, take them"

A man stares at me with a very surprised face.

I stared back at the person's blue eyes.

"... that's an uninteresting joke, Bishop Judas"

"Sariel, he's Archpriest Ars, why don't you introduce yourself?

"Yes, I..."

Just a little, I thought.

My name is not - not anymore, Saliel.

One of the twelve special ones, who got protection from God.

"Seventh Apostle Saliel"

I, yes, introduced myself to this name for the first time.

"Stupid!? Isn't the Seventh Apostle Lord Ariel of" Silver Break, "allowed to deceive the Apostle's name on his own, etc. -"

"Oh ‘I am' dead already, from now on, this Saliel is the new Seventh Apostle.

I haven't been officially appointed yet, but I haven't been awarded the title yet, so don't put ‘Sir’ on it and call it off. "

"The Apostle is dead... and blessed with such a young child..."

"Well, I think I've done enough, because there's still a lot to study in Non."

When the Bishop of Judas rises, he says to me:

"Saliel, what is your Lord's role?

"Yes, it's about killing God's enemies"

"Um, that's all I need to know. Follow the life of Archpriest Ars."

"Yes, Bishop Judas"

"Well, that's the last time you'll be called mainly by ‘sir'."

When he becomes the Seventh Apostle, he says he will be better than the Bishop of Judas.

I don't know what happens when you get great, either.

"Then let Non go back with this.

High Priest Ars, God bless you. "

That's how my first ‘role’ begins.

Can I, who is the enemy of God, and why, am I here and only I alive?

I don't know, I don't know anything anymore.

But that's all I know.

God doesn't help me.
