Kuro no Maou

Days back from when Chrono was reuniting with Saliel on the walls of Daedalus, the Crusaders were advancing the great army towards the occupation of the villages.

At the core of that occupying army were newly dispatched church or aristocratic private soldiers from their home countries.

Daedalus, already in a state of complete surrender, is only complete if, in occupying the village in its territory, each village chief is informed that Daedalus has descended upon the Sinclair Republic.

And if the Crusaders stationed a certain number of people, domination would become both nominal and substantial, and if villagers and defeated soldiers did not even riot, they would not have to shed a drop of blood.

But not so well in reality, let alone swelled up by various desires, the Crusaders rightly began to act in the streets that Chrono feared.

The Crusaders, justified by God in their brutal philosophy of action, which they take, destroy and kill, faithfully carry it out without any hesitation or regret.

Before this, several villages in Daedalus territory perish after tragic massacres and looting.

And one of the villages that traces its cruel fate was the beloved village of Iles in Chrono.

An army dressed in white marches through the northwest streets against the backdrop of a sunset on the great ridges of the Galahad Mountains.

With a large cross across the chest and a clasp (chainmail) underneath a white surcoat covering to the knee, a broadsword at the waist and a long spear at the hand are the crusader's basic infantry gear.

Leading them in rows is Kilvan, a youth priest who crosses a black horse with an international large body.

The deep white racial appearance of blonde blue-eyed carvings on its white skin is very common in the Sinclair Republic.

Because he is also a white magician, he is decorated with numerous magic fixtures (magic items) based on regular legal garments, the appearance of which stands out internationally.

"Mostly, it's getting dark."

His deputy, Korus, utters the word as he walks alongside Kilvan's horseback riding.

"What, are you anxious about the night march?

"No, the streets seem to be more extensive than expected, and there won't be any problems"

"Oh, you're doing well for the Demons."

Kilvan's dialogue contains obvious contempt.

There are various countries on the continent of Pandora, but everywhere, without exception, we refer to man and other races as‘ people ’.

However, it is common in the Sinclair Republic for human beings and other races to be clearly separated, and the more devout the Cross in particular, the stronger the sense of discrimination that makes man the supreme creature.

If you are Kilvan, who is also a crucian fundamentalist, then it was only natural that you had animosity and malice towards all beings living in Pandora.

"By appointment, we should be getting to the village of Iles soon."

"There's no rush, there's too much room for one night to dominate a small village in the country"

The task imposed on Kilvan's troops is the occupation of the village of Iles, but not enough to have to be carried out now.

Because when more crusaders came to Pandora to occupy villages along Northwest Street, Kilvan said, "Be sure to help me with this! I said," It's a mission I was forced to establish.

I wouldn't take the initiative to carry these extra jobs if I were just a priest, but Kilvan, who climbed up to priesthood young enough, so to speak, to be called an elite, just couldn't bear to wait for his chance to be active in silence.

In short, he was in a hurry for merit.

It is the current state of the Crusades that is occupying the vast territory of Daedalus one after the other, and if you do not achieve some achievement yourself soon, you will take everything delicious to other knights and priests, and if you think so, there is no choice but to rush for merit.

"Now I can set up one handle ahead of all the other priests.

With more control, you'll naturally remember Cardinal Mercedes better, you know?

"Yes."

"By the end of this expedition, I would be a high priest even if I looked low.

Naturally, you, my right-hand man, give me the right place.

Moreover, after that, the Archbishop, no, the Cardinal's seat is not a dream either, depending on how he works in his own country.

This will be a great step to make it happen. "

At the end of Kilvan's gaze with an invincible grin was the lights of the village of Ils floating bonyari at the end of the street.

The 17th of the month of Xinyang, late at night.

"Ugh, you drank too much..."

Ils Blader's members don't naturally say a word of concern about Nino sticking a red face on the table.

"Mr. Nyaleko's watching, Nino."

"Don't lie to me, Athen, it's an off-duty day, so I'm not in the guild."

"How do you even know that?

"You've decided because I heard it the other day when we talked about it - but!

"Oh, that time when I tried to ask you out on a date, but I ended up freaking out and couldn't cut you out -"

"Don't remind me!

"Well, good for you, we finally thought Nino had changed jobs to a class that was a rumored stalker in the city recently."

"What kind of stalker?"

"They're referring to creepy sexually active men who chase after you around and spy on you all day without women noticing you."

"It's not a class, it's not a job."

"She even fishes the garbage that the woman put out, and she's really creepy. Scary."

"What, that's really disgusting"

Athen and Harry point their somewhat worrying gaze at Nino.

"Don't look at me like that! I haven't done it yet!

"What do you mean, not yet!?

"Oh, no, I don't know what that is. Look, it's me."

Athen and Harry looking totally donned, always cool cradle also no heart or take their seats away from Nino.

"If I pervert the guild's receptionist, will the party be dissolved too?"

"Worst case scenario, all members may be expelled from the guild due to joint responsibility."

"Don't bother."

"I'm so worried about Temei and the others! I'm not doing anything!!

Bang! Nino beats the table all the time and stands up angrily.

"Calm down, Nino, when Mr. Nyaleko notices you, you're gonna make a shitty dent."

"That's why you don't have Nyaleko!

"What's wrong with me?

The moment that voice reaches Nino's ear, his ear and tail stand up with a pean in an instant.

It was a reflex that occurs when the Cat Beast Man (Warcat) is surprised.

"Oh, that, why is Nyaleko here?

"Why, it's your job, isn't it?"

I know that, and I can't give it back here, Nino.

"Oh, speaking of which, my sister's not feeling well today, so I'm going to ask Mr. Nyaleko to change..."

"Harry! Say that kind of cot first!

"Please tell your senior to take care ~"

"Yes, I'll tell him."

"So, Mr. Nino"

"Ha, ha!? I don't know!

My voice is turned upside down, I thought it would be pathetic to even bother pointing it out, and Aten keeps his mouth shut and watches the two of them.

"It's nice to make a scene at the Quest Achievement Celebration, but please don't get too excited and pull out your sword or something"

"Ha, ha..."

Dropping his ears and tail, to Nino with a grieving expression, the members decided to follow him on the boulder.

"Hey, sorry, Mr. Nyaleko, we seem to have had a little too many drinks with each other. Come on, it's not Nino's fault, forgive him."

"Oh, Smitty, I'm the one who stabs the water."

With the occasion properly repaired, Nyaleko returned to the counter.

However, Nino's tension remains dropped due to how badly he has shown himself to Nyaleko.

"No, I'm not leaving today."

Drink up a cup of booze before Nino says it out.

I don't feel very good about it or my complexion.

"Well, well, don't worry about it."

"It's okay, you'll forget about it tomorrow morning anyway."

Nino takes a seat in the fluttering footsteps.

"Let's send him away"

Cradle stands firm as opposed to Nino.

"Oh, it's always smart"

"Never mind."

The two left some silver coins on the table to leave the guild behind.

"Oh - I feel the wind at night"

Nino and Cradle walk, blurring and saying that.

After drinking at the guild, it's not so uncommon for the two of us to go home this way, the usual daily page.

That was supposed to happen, but the first thing I felt out of the ordinary was a barely drunken cradle around.

"Something, isn't it noisy?

"Am I?"

If you ask me, I do hear people.

Once you feel it, it's easy to trace its source, half the interest, and the two of you walk in the direction of the noise.

It is the gateway of the village, which I passed even today when I returned from my quest.

"What the fuck? Did you even show up at the monster?

Around the gate, the face of the vigilante was rushing to and from Matsui with one hand.

At this point, Nino, aware of the crisis that something unexpected was happening, would wake up drunk and become the same warrior's heart as when heading to the dungeon.

Feeling disturbing signs, as did Nino, Cradle found his father, the head of the vigilante, among the vigilantes, speaking out.

"Dad, what happened?

"Oh, Cradle, and Nino, too"

"Ozzie, there's some kind of bad vibe going on."

If the two were still young children, they would have yelled to go home without hesitation, but now Nino and Cradle are among the fine adults who contribute to peace in the village with the exorcism of monsters.

As head of the vigilante and as a father, Grint had acknowledged his son and his best friend, and had provided no misleading explanation for the problems that had just arisen.

"An unknown army is approaching the village through Northwest Street"

"What!?

"Are you a bandit?

"I don't know yet, I sent the fast legged to reconnaissance, but I'm not leaving yet"

A cold one runs on the spine of both of us.

Though rank 2, the intuition for the dangers of the two adventurers, who have already taken off the beginner's range, is unlikely to compare to the sole of the average person.

"I'll let Athens and Harry know, Cradle's with Ozzie on the gate guard."

"Okay."

"Please, Nino, we don't seem to have the time to officially turn the request to the Alliance, just ask the Adventurer to help us in the event of an emergency whenever possible."

"Leave it to me!

Nino turns back on the path he has just lazily walked on, like a disease.

"Damn, I got a bad feeling about it. But you're a dick!
