Kuro no Maou

At that time, the fairies rushed back to the center point of the Fountain of Light, temporarily cutting up the battle with the white dressed humans who had suddenly invaded.

"Lily...... that fairy Modki, what the hell are you doing!

The leaders of the fairies living in this fountain of light fly with their heads cut off.

Unlike Lily, being a real fairy clan, they gain constant flying ability with two pairs of feathers on their backs.

Several small spheres of light flying at high speeds as they slid through forest trees and grasshoppers were beautiful, even in this magical world of existence, with fantastic emotions if one saw them.

But their true intentions, who are the person of the day, were filled with amazement and anxiety, and their little breasts were all ripped apart, haunted by this emergency.

"Just a few moments, in time -"

As the trees break through the woods, the fairies jump out of momentum to the little fountain there.

It is this little fountain that is rightly the 'Fountain of Light'.

The name says‘ of light ', but it doesn't mean it's actually emitted by magical effects.

Only a very natural light is emitted, where the surface of the water sparkles by the light of the sun falling from heaven.

However, the concentration of magic that fills the vicinity of this spring is so dense that even ordinary people without magical qualities can clearly recognize the existence of magic.

Thanks to this, this place is not only a small fountain in the back of the forest, but also a place that deserves precisely the sanctuary, where the mystical atmosphere is clearly felt physically and mentally.

And ‘she’ was in the center of that nearly circular fountain.

"Lily!"

Hate, the fairy leader screams her name.

In addition to the size of the serious body that is just in the fairy, Lily's appearance wraps around clothes like a person, an enchanted bilload piece given by Chrono, that's all I remember angry about.

"What are you doing here?"

You know what's going on right now!?

The fairies all recognize that they should be joining the battle against humans who invade immediately, and are indisputably hostile to Lily, who gracefully floats at the center of the fountain.

It's an emotion that never rivals our fellow fighters.

A fairy with a psycholeptic (telepathic) ability to read emotions to some extent, although a half demon, of course Lily possesses that ability, and can't be unaware of the evil emotions emanating from those fairies surrounding her.

But Lily responds with such a cool face that she knows nothing.

"Oh, my God, all of a sudden the humans came here as herds.

Heh heh, if they come this far, what happens... "

"Stop any further! You've got good things to say and bad things to say!

It was difficult for them, the fairies, to forgive even their worst anticipation, when the protection of the land was lost.

"Yeah, well, fine.

So, are you guys the only ones who can get rid of those people?

"Oh, no..."

"The magicians seem to have the right number, and it doesn't feel like they can fight some of them over there.

You don't go home scared enough to shoot me in, just like you always do. "

"I know, I know. That's not true!

"Yeah, you know, ‘lose’ without me"

Lily's dialogue with the current core.

He is a fairy clan who just plays and can't be so smart, but he has enough brains to make that degree of judgment.

"Yes, you're right - Lily, you can't chase that many people back without you, I admit it."

"Yeah, so?

Lily smiles briskly, I don't see any very evil there or anything, but it was enough attitude to dramatically elevate this fairy leader.

"So, so what!?

The Fountain of Light is in danger, fight that abominable mortal!

"Yeah - what's the way you put it, isn't that an attitude of asking people for things?

You can't do that in a village society. Ugh. "

"Become -"

The fairies cease to exist.

"What are you talking about!? I'm not stupid. At a time like this, I guess not if I'm joking!

Fight fast, protect this place!

"May, calm down for a second.

Calm down and think about it, I just got kicked out of here by you guys after I was born. For a fairy, this may be a sanctuary back home, but it doesn't seem that important to me. "

"What are you stupid, the sanctuary is absolute for a fairy, you seriously think that!?

"For fairies, right?

You're the one who kicked me out saying I'm not a fairy. "

"It's..."

"Oh, that's fine with me, there's no complex about me not being a pure fairy, and I don't want to be a true fairy.

I'm a half demon, and my values are different from those of the fairies, so... "

Lily smiles again.

"When you ask someone like that for things, don't you think people should be sincere, begging you?

"Hey, what... please?

"Yes, it's important. You know, I don't like being fought as a matter of course, either.

Look, before you complain, I think you'd better bow your head early, but you're already, like, right up there, right?

Now Lily can sense the magic of the Crusaders to a considerable extent, also in the interest of the land.

It's invisible, but across the woods, Lily can tell how she's definitely packing the distance toward the fountain while she's on guard.

The fairies don't feel as good as Lily, but they can't cut off her words as lies just because they think about the situation.

Usually, fairies who don't think much about things use this unavailable time to think the most.

That's self-esteem for refusing to bow your head to the fairy Modoki and the contemptuous opponent, and the profit that just bowing your head will guarantee the safety of the Fountain of Light.

I know whether it is important without even thinking about which is important, but the fact that no immediate judgment can be made in this situation was that there was no significant difference between humans and fairies.

And after a period of silence, the fairies finally opened their mouths.

"… I will"

"What, what?

Lily continues to smile unchanged from earlier, saying in a bouncing voice.

"Please"

"I can't hear you very well"

"" Please! Protect the Fountain of Light!

The sorrowful plea voices of the fairies echo in the fountain of light.

Lily, who hears it, responds to the voice with a full grin, not a smile.

"Ugh, I ya"

Moments, silence came as if time had frozen.

The fairy leader speaks as he leans down and shivers his shoulders.

"Hey, I can't believe..."

"I told you, this isn't an important place for me."

"So, you asked for it, right"

"Yeah, but you didn't say a word about me fighting if you asked me to."

Lily still doesn't break her smiling expression, but her emotions were falling out of her eyes at the earliest.

"I will never fight to protect this place, so give it up, everyone."

The fairies finally understood her true intentions when she came here to say the words of Lily in cold blood.

"Wait, no..."

"I won't stop fighting because I don't mind being wiped out, so be my guest."

"Wait!? Please, I apologize! Fight, please, please!

There is no shame in it, no outside hearsay, and I slap the sobbing fairy with my hands as if I were going to pay for a little feather.

All the fairies gathered here, living in the Fountain of Light, will still be either crying out to Lily for help or crying down into despair.

Lily opens her mouth satisfied with a glimpse of that.

"Oh, yeah, I'm going to perish anyway, and I'm going to get the Red Crystal Ball (Queen Beryl) here."

The moment I heard that word, the fairies' time froze again.

Because the Red Crystal Ball (Queen Beryl), which Lily proclaimed to receive, is the magic item (magic item), no, what is called the Great Magic Fixture (artifact), which is the source of unfolding the 'Fairy Queen's Protection’, full of magic in this fountain.

"Red Crystal Ball (Queen Beryl)" rests in the center of the fountain, in a small altar at its bottom.

As a result, the concentric circle of 'protection' spreads from there, and the surrounding area is full of dark magic.

However, if we put this' red crystal sphere (Queen Beryl) 'down, if we are told that the sanctuary where fairies are born will occur anywhere, it is not so.

The sanctuary will not arise unless the various magical conditions match, representing the 'pulse of the earth (layline)', a magical passage running underground of the earth, and even more complex magic in such a special place, which is the effect of the sanctuary without the ceremony exercised by 'God'.

In short, if you move the 'Red Crystal Ball (Queen Beryl)' from the resting altar to darkness, whether it be a fairy or a human, the activation of the constitutive ceremony stops and the sanctuary disappears.

In that case, the magic that gradually fills the surroundings will diminish, and sooner or later only return to the same natural fountain as elsewhere.

In other words, what Lily said here about making the 'Red Crystal Ball (Queen Beryl)' her own meant that instead of protecting the sanctuary, she would destroy it with her own hands.

"Lily! You, I feel like I touched you!?

"I hope you don't say it in a nasty way, 'The Red Crystal Ball (Queen Beryl)' is just the right big magic tool (artifact) for me to draw out my magic, ‘Ahead' if I have it, it's bound to help, I guess I want it, right?

"Red Crystal Ball (Queen Beryl)" is not inherently a tool for generating fairy-producing sanctuaries, it is just a key item to be exact.

If the Fairy Queen does not use it for the creation of the Sanctuary, it is worth nothing more than a beautiful gem that houses vast amounts of magic.

Most importantly, it can be so valuable in this world that it can only be named the Great Magic Device (artifact).

"Don't make me do that. No!

The surrounding fairies simultaneously develop a fairy kingdom (Oracle Shields) and turn to Lily to kill.

With the leader's signal, hundreds of Primary Attack Magic (Sagitta) arrive toward Lily's skinny.

Naturally, knowing that too, Lily slowly tells the fairies without showing any haste.

"You think you can beat me?

Brighten the pair of feathers that Lily grows from her back and expand her own fairy kingdom (Oracle Shields).

Stronger than any other light emitted by the other fairies, the kingdom shines, and darkly lets them know that the amount of magic praised there is a difference in digits.

"When you can stop it, do you really think?

Lily floats around a bunch of little white light spheres, like when Chrono uses Demon Bullets (Barrett Arts).

If this light sphere plays one, it is powerful enough to be vicious enough to blow apart every junction that protects it, such as the little body of a fairy.

Light spheres are only as numerous as the fairies here. Lily is creating them.

"I hate this place, I hate you guys, so I decided to crush it all on this occasion.

But if you mean turning your back here, throwing away all your pride and possession as a fairy and running away, I won't chase you, and I won't shoot you from behind.

'Cause after I left here, you didn't even give me a hand, so I'll give you that much pity. "

An obvious upset spreads to the fairies floating around.

Lily is serious, she cannot be persuaded in this setting, nor can she help stop the imminent human race.

At the earliest possible time, the collapse of the sanctuary is inevitable.

After that, we will choose whether we have our own lives or not.

"I've been disciplined to protect this place from monsters and keep you alive because I wanted it."

When you leave the Fountain of Light and become a toddler Lily, resentment like you thought in your original state ceases to bother you, and even if your heart so desired, you will never cease thinking in your toddler state, or fear its brutal end, and transfer revenge to execution.

However, on the night of the full moon returning to its true appearance, if we went to the Fountain of Light as we did this time, we could have killed all the fairies there and collapsed the sanctuary, but in the end we had never done it before, and we had never tried to.

"Oh, don't make a weird mistake, I'm just clearing up the resentment that got kicked out of here, the act itself didn't have any special thoughts, and I just didn't feel like being involved with each other the rest of my life.

I really want to protect this place, but I only want to protect my people when I'm a kid.

The point is, it was easier to protect the fountain from the waves than to take care of you guys.

But... "

And, as soon as the words went on, Lily's emotions suddenly poured in that the fairies had hitherto been fitted with advanced mental barriers (mind protection) and could never be read.

"I've got someone I like."

The emotion had a hot, somewhere adhesive and entangling image.

A wave of drooling emotions emanating from a high fever, like a magma, flows into the hearts of the fairies.

After all, there was not a single fairy who could affirm whether this emotion could be described as a pure and pathetic love affair favored by the fairy clan.

"Since that person showed up, all values have changed, priorities have changed, the world has changed.

Every day was so much fun. "

"... that person"

The leader of the fairies floating directly in front of Lily leaks pompously.

What evokes is a thinly dressed man about three months ago who suddenly fell into the woods with a crate filled with red fruit from the sky.

"Speaking of which, were you there when you first met Chrono?

Ugh, no, I found out who I like, I'm ashamed. "

Its appearance, accompanied by blushing cheeks with both hands, causing its neck to swing as it sifts, only appears to belong to a girl of her age who can come to mind on the subject of love.

But it doesn't look like we're going to take the lives and homeland of all the people who are here.

The fairies only have the creepy impression of reacting so misplaced.

"Me and Chrono, we're gonna live together, like, forever.

I was gonna, but I think I got in the way.

I don't think you know any fairy tribes who are oblivious to the Prime Minister, but the humans who are approaching us now are invaders from another continent, named Crusaders.

They chase us where we live, which is the same for me and you.

And Chrono hates them so much, I'm sure he'll kill a lot of people dressed in white, hehe, they look great... "

"Lily... what are you trying to say?"

When you mix a serious story with a story about a man you like, the spirit of Lily's story is derailed.

Lily, who became a girl, has a clear brain to talk to rationally, but the more she tries to make it that simple, the more crazy Lily is by the man she calls Chrono, the fairies will understand even if they don't like it.

"Oh, yeah, in short, you thought I wanted Red Crystal Ball (Queen Beryl), useful, because of the results of thinking about my future with Chrono.

First, the village of Iles by the Crusaders, no, the whole territory of Daedalus is subdued.

And the Crusaders will not be content with it, and they will not stop until they have conquered this whole Pandora continent.

They did believe in a "white god," and because they wanted it, the Crusaders came to offer the Pandora continent.

You'll fight them sooner or later, no matter where you run from here, your power is more important than anything else.

I will protect Chrono with this power, until Chrono kills all the Crusaders!

……

From the fairies, the earliest words did not come out.

"I asked for the Red Crystal Sphere (Queen Beryl) because I needed strength.

‘Coverage’ disappears because of that, but it falls into the hands of the Crusaders anyway, and you don't mind, Ning Lo. Things that were originally crisp disappear and become clean.

So, what are you guys gonna do?

I just tell the fairies that their actions will have already been decided.

"That's all I told you, so they're all gonna retire adulterously, right?

What I told you was only Lily's own emotions, and I didn't sincerely persuade the fairies.

However, it became clear from the fairy side that Lily had a distorted love that was not so splendid as to be determined not to retreat, but that she was unwilling to give in any way, and that there was no room for persuasion at all.

For fairies who instinctively know that there is no way they can beat the real Lily than the former, it can't even be an option in the first place.

Spread your life on the run or fight Lily for ‘nothing’.

I've already made my decision.

The fairies flew away from the scene with one person, another, moaning and grieving again, leaking a whimper.

"That's okay, I'm not dying because I wasn't in the sanctuary anyway.

Fairies just have to play around in the wild mountains around there, like stupid kids, haha "

- Lily.

"Hmm, were you still there?

Lily dropped off almost all the fairies already flying away to the other side, but the fairy leader, who continues to stand directly in front of her from the start, remained on the spot.

Look, around the leader, there's a bunch of nine fairies.

"You want to die?

One tone of Lily's voice drops, and at the same time, for the first time, Lily sent a killer to the fairies who stay here.

The fairies shrugged themselves, but still didn't try to move.

"You'll never forgive me! He's not dead. Yeah!

The fairies simultaneously unleashed their attack magic toward Lily.

"" Light Arrow (Lux Sagitta)!

The low-level attack magic of the unchangable and fireable light attribute is the basic intrinsic magic (extra) of the Fairy Clan.

Even the lower magic, around five per person, ten people emit at the same time, and together nearly fifty arrows of light fly in for Lily.

Dodd, dodd!

Sharp flashes and explosions.

Light arrows (Lux Sagitta) do not cause damage in an explosion, but melt the subject with the high heat the light has, and wearing them is its offensive power.

Still, the explosion sounds because it makes contact with Lily's fairy junction (Oracle Shields) and the magic hits each other and shocks.

The fairies don't think they can defeat Lily with this, and in anticipation of the expected counterattack, the fairies scatter at once under the direction of the leader.

But that action will be utterly futile.

The fairies know that Lily is strong, but they don't know anything specific about what kind of power and performance magic it can handle.

Because I haven't actually fought Lily once.

Therefore, even if Lily knew that there would be no creation without chanting, of course, and at the same time releasing ten light arrows (Lux Sagitta), she wouldn't know until it had enough terrible automatic tracking power to determine even Sariel's inescapability.

"Ha ha!?

Ten light arrows released from Lily (Lux Sagitta) captured and hit all the scattered and flying fairies without difficulty.

The power of a single shot was curtailed to an extent incomparable with the time of the shooting at Sariel, and even if it hit, it was only to the point of neatly smashing only the fairy's shield.

The fairies are blown away by the shock and fall one after the other into the fountain.

Lily looked down while floating in the universe as she was slammed to the surface of the water and a small blister like a frog jumped in.

"Ugh..."

The fairies were just wet all over their bodies in the water, not particularly injured.

arrow tips that immediately jumped off the water and tried to challenge Lily again,

"Ghaaaaaa!

A sad cry roared.

Lily pinpointed the leader, the fairy's right palm, with a very small, squeezed light.

It's like an antique doll. A fairy with a small figure, when it comes to its palms, it's only a few centimeters in size.

The light emitted went straight ahead and hit him, which means no tracking capability has been added.

"Oh, my God, that hurts! It hurts. Ooh!

The returning fairies fly underneath a leader bashing the surface of the water as it floats in pain.

The goal, of course, is healing by healing magic.

Fortunately, it's not as big an injury as my arm is blowing up, so I can heal quickly, yes the fairies thought.

"Not all of you can't look away from your enemies."

Lily's second shot hit one of the fairies leading the way as they approached the leader to perform healing magic.

The location of the shot was the same right palm as the leader.

The number of people complaining of pain and crying increases to two while standing on the water.

The fairies fly even more second-hand for the newly wounded.

"Not at all, even a Rank 1 adventurer would make a better move"

Lily tried to shoot out the same spot twice, even if it didn't have automatic tracking capability, which means she was free to hit anywhere if the fairy was fast enough to fly.

Lily, with a frightened expression, shot down each fairy approaching the two, in turn only smashing through her right palm.

If you notice, there are ten miserable looking fairies floating on the water who suffer from pain.

"It's like a kid's game, you really thought you'd fight me like that?

Hey, did you really think you could kill me?

Lily approaches under a leader who still holds her bleeding, unstoppable right hand in tears, and takes a crouching position on the spot while floating in the universe.

"I'll shoot you in the left palm next, then the right foot, then the left foot"

"Ugh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh."

"Still fighting? If you say you'll do it, I'll shoot you right away."

"Gu... Kill me, I'll do it!

Yeah, I'll shoot you then.

Small flashes blink.

During the moment, as Lily declared, there was a hole in his left palm.

"Ahhhhhhh!!

"Still fighting?

"Uh-oh, wait."

I'll shoot you.

Flash again instantly.

There's a hole in the back of your right foot.

"Oh -"

"" No more!!

Other fairies floating around shouted in unison.

"Die easy, did you think?

but the light had already been emitted from Lily.

――

He is shot through the back of both hands and feet, leaking a distressed voice that won't even be his earliest voice.

Lily says in a boring tone as she hears the fairies cry out to stop them already.

"To such a low degree that the pain of being shot makes it impossible to use healing magic, don't tell me to fight or anything, it's taken an extra lot of work"

Lily stretches her knees in the air so she can stand up.

And turn your back on the fairies.

"You can fly enough, just lose it.

Or do you want to see the moment when the 'protection’ of this land is lost?

While suffering from the pain, he managed to carry a leader who had become a miserable figure who was experiencing further suffering than they were, and kept away from the fountain with a weak light.

"I wouldn't have had to feel painful if I'd listened to what people would have said from the beginning.

But I'll leave you without the grudge that's been kicked out of this. "

Lily, who shrugged so without telling anyone, slowly begins to sink into the fountain, becoming a sphere of dazzling light, surrounded by fairy junctions.

Sitting at the bottom of this clear spring, take the Red Crystal Ball (Queen Beryl).
