Kuro no Maou

Around the middle of the street leading to the village of Iles, black smoke came into my eyes rising from the front.

"Damn, you set fire to them villages!

I can't see for sure if the village is really on fire, but I can't think of any other reason why that black smoke occurred.

The direct sight of one scale of the village's anomaly adds more force to the foot running down the street.

At that time, I heard a flock of birds flying from the woods spreading on my left hand to Russia.

There are many birds living in the woods, and it is normal for the herds to fly in unison, but I felt that the number of birds now dancing in this sky was too high.

"Chrono!

Lily in the hood pulls my robe.

"What's up, Lily?

"Well, the fountain..."

Stop your legs and listen to Lily's dialogue as she looks awkward and in a hurry.

Before I understood in words what Lily was about to complain about, I saw the smoke coming up from the woods to Russia and guessed the situation.

"No way, there are crusaders approaching the Fountain of Light, too?

Why do you think there is any treasure in such a place?

Lily jumps off the hood and still tries to rush out into the woods.

"Oh, wait!

I know that Lily cares about the place, even if she is kicked out of the Fountain of Light.

I don't know exactly what effect or significance the land will have other than the fact that it will be full of dark magic without the protection of the queen, but if you look at the attitude of the fairies that will never allow people to enter, you can expect a lot of people.

The Fountain of Light will probably disappear with some magical effect on that land called ‘Queen's Protection' if any non-fairy species enter or are vandalized.

Whatever it is, it is true that the fairies, including Lily, want to prevent some intrusion at all costs and act.

Because the Crusaders invaded the Fountain of Light for some purpose, there was a dispute with the fairies, which is the identity of the smoke rising from that forest.

Though I put a static word to Lily, I have no reason to hold her back, Ning Ro, as much as I'd like to go for an addition.

But it is not only the Fountain of Light that the smoke of contention is rising, so is the village of Iles, which cannot be easily left alone here, etc.

"Lily, you're going to the Fountain of Light.

Krono, go to the village. "

"... are you all right?

Yeah, I mean, it's Lily's own safety that's paramount.

Now I realize, I've pushed even further with anger and haste that Iles Village was in a raid, but it doesn't make any difference that I would put myself, and hence Lily herself, in terrible danger.

Of course, that's why I'm not willing to leave, and Lily will always protect me.

But letting Lily go to the Crusaders by herself...

"Bullshit! About Lily, trust me!

Lily is my partner, not the one I protect.

If you tell me to believe it, I'll have to believe it!

"Okay, but don't be impotent."

"Yeah, Chrono too"

"Mmm... right, I know"

Yes, I promised Lily I wouldn't be impotent like I already tried Sariel, and yes, I can't act so light-hearted.

"I don't know how many crusaders there are, but it's definitely not the number I can handle by myself more than I'm acting in the military.

As soon as we're done with each other, we'll be back in the village of Quaal by the end of the day, and we'll meet in our guild. "

"Yeah!"

No more words, and me and Lily each run in the right direction.

After all, I couldn't afford to think about what kind of hell awaits me right now.

The houses on the outskirts of the village of Iles have either been swallowed by a blazing bright red flame or already burned down enough not to fasten the prototype.

I can see a lot of blood on the street, but I can't see anyone who's supposed to be down there.

This fellow bleeder must be being transported and treated elsewhere, and I would like to make a slight hopeful observation.

But the dense death odor of standing around shatters such hope.

Dead odors drift from the centre of the village just past the gate.

The reality that they took an incredible number of lives shows me that they are waiting beyond the walls that surround the village.

"Ha... Ha..."

Already, my foot stops running at all costs and only keeps walking the streets fluttering like a sleepwalker.

I've dealt with a lot of people's deaths before, and on the contrary, I've killed people.

What is this fear I feel in front of the sight colored with blood and flames when I say that the precision was to such an extent that I couldn't stop shaking my legs, whether in front of the dragon or that sariel?

"What..."

This village, Iles Village, is the resting place I gradually gained in this world, free from any battle.

That's how it's turned into such a blood-smelling ruin.

There shouldn't be, such a reality, unacceptable, I don't want to believe - how much time would I have walked, stunned like that?

Unexpectedly, when I saw a sight in my eyes, I stopped.

That was where a human soldier in white came out of a small private house that had not yet been miraculously lit.

The soldier squeezed some coins that seemed sparkling on his left hand, possibly silver coins, and said something happily.

Then two other soldiers come out of the door of the house holding a crate full of things, both of whom have a smile on their faces.

The soldiers felt like a strangely loud noise of putting a box on something like a trolley in front of the house, Dosun at that time.

The three enter the private house again as the soldiers whisper something against a small door that they cannot dive without lowering their necks.

And the next moment they came out, I remembered in my head that I was only able to recognize reality in a flash, feeling that something could cut, play.

Recognize clearly the sight in your eyes.

The three soldiers had each pulled together the body of a goblin wrapped in plain clothes.

My ears heard fragments of the words they spoke.

"Totally hazy - Dirty. Hey, all I got is a goblin kid."

"- I would have enjoyed it if I were at least an elf woman."

"Because I had money. Well, good."

And the three of them, more abusively than the crate earlier, let the body they had drawn be unloaded into the luggage.

The body must have been his children, Mr. Wertz, the goblin farmer, who always greeted me on this road in the morning.

"Ah......"

The village of Iles I wanted to protect, witnessing the death of a stranger living there,

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Mad.

Yes, it's literally crazy.

Because I've come to understand that everything was too late.

On my left hand, when did you take it out, the "curse" Tsukuba "was tightly squeezed.

Hatred thoughts, which should be holding in completely with blackening, flow into my head and soul like rage.

Normally I resist the flurry of that nasty emotion reflexively, but now I felt it strange and comfortable.

I can't tell if this emotion is my wrath or my curse at the earliest.

Just that mind commands my body to move.

Kill all the ‘enemies’ in this eye.

Located at the back of the Fairy Forest (Fairy Garden), Lily walks towards the Fountain of Light.

disease, there may be slight errors in the expression, in the first place Lily's legs, which are short in toddler shape, do not have much effect on kicking the ground and running directly, even if she strengthens her legs, as in Chrono.

Today Lily looks like a sphere of light covering her entire body in a spherical fashion, jumping like a piompion and a bat with fairy junctions (Oracle Shields) wrapped around her for fast travel.

Lily's figure of jumping gently across obstacles such as fallen trees and rocks without endangerment also looks like a big ball of white glow playing.

That's how Lily felt clearly with her skin as she moved overwhelmingly faster than humans ran, as the Fountain of Light grew darker and darker, filling her surroundings.

If Lily had come to this area originally, the fairies would have come to a halt with a sensitive sense of its proximity, but now I can't see that little, shining girlfriend anywhere.

An attack magic burst coming from behind the woods like a faraway thunder from earlier, that's why they don't show up.

The fairies are intercepting the crusaders pushing toward the Fountain of Light.

If we allow humans to enter the ‘centre’ of the Fountain of Light, the 'protection of the Fairy Queen', which fills the land, will be the only forest that has disappeared, as Chrono expected.

Then there will be no more fairies here, and if you take them, they mean exactly the same thing as losing your hometown.

If you don't protect your homeland, the precious place where you were born, the honorable land full of the protection of the Fairy Queen.

So Lily runs, jumps, hurries.

I need to use this power that I rush under my people quickly and host more powerful intrinsic magic (extras) than normal fairies to protect this place from the humans - Lily was even thinking about it and moving forward.

But a change came to her at that moment when Lily stepped within the bounds of a certain amount of magical power filled with her surroundings, that is, the protection of the Fairy Queen, working strongly.

"Protect..."

Lily, who was pushing like a bullet, slows sharply.

"... a place like this?

Lily, who slowly began to walk, whose body already expands spherically, the fairy junction disappears, and instead her whole body begins to emit light strongly.

"Pfft... I'm not stupid"

Whenever Lily, who shrugged so much, takes a step forward, she literally gets‘ big ’.

As you look at it, your hands and feet stretch, your chest swells, from a rounded body characteristic of a toddler to a body with a feminine soft curve.

I changed that body from a ‘cute' child to a 'beautiful’ girl, no, I grew up.

But it was more in Ning Lo's heart than in this appearance that changed in this moment.

Lily goes one step further, her body had already stopped growing, but the brain changes that occur from earlier still persist.

Thoughts are clearer and clearer, but more complex, and at the same time, emotions, the status quo, what can and cannot be done, what should and should not be done...

When Lily stopped walking, all the changes that gradually happened to her stopped.

It was there that the true figure of the fairy Lily, hosting the body of a girl who uttered a complete indispensable beauty and a vast knowledge of intrinsic magic (extra).

An environment of magic so dense that it restores Lily to her original appearance, this is one end of the power of the 'protection of the fairy queen' held by the Fountain of Light.

As long as she stays within the bounds of this' protection ', Lily can always be this way.

"Hehe -"

Once a month if you're outside, you can only go back on a full moon night. I've only ever seen this look, that beauty that everyone breathes in if you're a man, and the look on Chrono's face that grows and is still adorable.

"Hahaha!

Lily now had a terrific grin.

"Who are you to protect these people in this place?!?

At a young age, she now thinks brutally that she can't think of in her usual lily, where her intelligence has declined significantly.

Lily, in her toddler state, has only a pure heart as it seems, but when she returned to her original appearance and her original mind, emotions and thinking abilities were revived, apart from her fairy mind, she also had a human cruel, cunning intelligence and greedy desire at the same time.

"Haha, this is my best chance, I can't believe this opportunity is a fountain of light -"

Chrono hasn't noticed yet, but the most horrible thing about Lily returning to her original appearance is not that powerful magic can be exercised, but the mind of this cloudy, half-dozen demons.

"You just have to destroy it."
