Kuro no Maou

Episode 38: A Witch's Tale

At the front gate of the Virginia Fortress, there was a figure of a single girl.

She was a beautiful girl with golden glow in her pale watery short hair with fresh water flowing, her eyes, and an attractive appearance twelve minutes ago, but her expression looked somewhere blurry and terribly sleepy.

Such a blurry girl's outfit is dressed in a large black triangle hat with black clothes decorated with feathers as well and a long cane (staff) as tall as she is.

Whether you're a resident of Ark or Pandora, anyone who sees her will respond like this: 'The Witch'.

As a class, there is no special difference with magicians, but it is common for women equipped with a distinctive three-piece set of robes and longcanes in black triangular hats to be called 'witches'.

The stories wrapped around witches are too famous, everyone will know about one witch's appearance.

Such a witch girl was not in need of a fort now, but on the contrary was about to leave the fort.

A gatekeeper at the main gate calls out to the girl who's leaving.

"Lady, you're saying that the Corner Crusaders are here and you're going down here?

The girl stops and nods small towards the gatekeeper.

"Speaking of apostles, the Church's most powerful soldier, on top of which 15,000 elite troops, the Archbishop, will also take command.

You can win this fight, mercenaries are riding winning horses, right?

He has not participated in the last invasion of Daedalus and does not know the horrors of the demonic army.

but I didn't mean to bother pointing that out either, the girl didn't.

Because I can snort enough of what he says.

The girl recalls that the last invasion was definitely due to the result of the licking, which seemed terrible, although she did not suffer a single scratch.

But this time, as the gatekeeper says, it's a counter-attack operation with enough combat power.

It took nearly a month, but now we have 15,000 reinforcements, equipment, food, and everything else in Virginia.

I honestly couldn't get the girl to predict winning or losing, but I could still assure her that I would be able to fight Matomo more than I had last time.

And those who have traveled to the Pandora continent as mercenaries, like her, it is this opportunity that leaps forward to use their power to earn huge rewards.

If you want to escape during the last defeat, it's still hard to think of escaping because of the nature of the mercenary when you're about to make money.

At least, the gatekeeper doesn't think this girl escapes this place from fear of battle.

Because if you are going to flee, as the priests did six months ago, you are going to take a boat to your home country in the harbor, and it is not the idea of the fugitives to leave Virginia to go to the land of Pandora, which they have yet to see.

"Are you sure you're leaving?

Again the girl snorts.

A girl with blurry, sleepy eyes, but the gatekeeper thought the determination seemed firm.

"Well, so, where are we going? Who's Ate?

The girl responded with an unchanging look.

"More, I'll go where the rice is delicious"

After all, a witch is a different person, and the gatekeeper dropped off the girl leaving thinking.

The next day, fifteen thousand crusaders, led by Saliel, went out in battle for Daedalus.
