Kuro no Maou

When Chrono was dueling Vulcan in the guild lobby as much as possible with the leader of the adventurer, there were Lily and Fiona appearances in one of the rooms.

"What is the story, fairy?

"Yeah, I'm trying to make a good deal with you."

From its mouthfeel in response to Fiona's inquiry, I can tell that even if Lily's appearance is toddler, only consciousness is in a state of complete awakening.

"What contract?

"I want you to formally party with us."

If you're an adventurer, no, you'll soon understand what even the average person in this world is trying to say about Lily.

The basics of adventurers are still party play fighting with their peers.

Sometimes it's not uncommon to have a limited cooperative relationship with a stranger adventurer on a quest, but usually a quest is challenged at a pre-organized party.

Registering the name of the party and the names of all the members in the guild will treat you like an official adventurer party.

Most importantly, you don't have to sign up for this party to form a party of your own to challenge the quest. If you sign up, the guild is easy to grasp, and as an adventurer, it's easy to appeal to the results of your work.

"Is it okay to recognize that you and Mr. Chrono are having a party?

"Yeah, I haven't decided on a different party name, but I need to think about something when you get in.

So, what do you say?

Fiona saw a bare gesture like she was lost for a moment,

"I refuse"

I uttered a clear word of rejection.

"May I ask why?

Lily does not show the wind that made her particularly distracted by the response, but laughs invincibly and inquires.

I can't show Chrono a bit. It was an evil grin somewhere.

"It's not for me.

I've never had more than three days partying with me, and I've been fired during quests. "

While Fiona was faceless, Lily read how traumatic the experience was, a sad emotion slightly overflowing from her strong walls of mind.

But knowing that doesn't mean I'm willing to comfort Lily.

It's not Fiona's feelings that matter, but keeping her inside herself.

A witch named Fiona, who has so much ‘power’ that it's impossible to party truly.

"I know your magic control is hectic without interruption, and I'm inviting you to include it."

"How do you know?

No particularly surprising wind, Fiona asks quietly.

"I've never seen anyone just activate a 'Fire Shield (Ignis Shield)' so flashy."

"The fairies are familiar with magic."

Again, I'm not surprised, Fiona, as if I'd heard the same words before.

"Just because I'm special, don't be with those feathers"

At least Lily had more knowledge of magic, analytical skills than anyone else in the village of Quaal right now.

It's not something I learned, it's just something I've been able to hold since the birth of my original Lily.

"I want you to understand what's going on here, so I can leave your feelings at this time."

What do you mean, Lily responds to Fiona's inquiry without precipitation.

"Chrono doesn't want to free a runaway witch who will fight the Crusaders to let the villagers escape from this, turning hundreds of miles on all sides like you into scorched earth in that.

Was that a bad way of saying it? I value your power more than anyone at the moment, and I want to make sure you have that offensive power at hand. "

Lily sends praise with an adorable smile.

"Thank you, you are the second person to praise my magic"

Lily understood by reading the emotional movements that appeared in Fiona's superficial consciousness that she was saying that from the heart, not sarcasm.

"Ugh, you're just a bunch of idiots with so little eyes to see on the Ark continent.

So, as far as I'm concerned, I'm not just a collaborative adventurer, I'd like to welcome you as a ‘companion’ to a closer position.

That way, I can also provide you with a place where you can demonstrate your irrepressible and powerful magic ‘without any problems'.

Well, it's not me who thinks about it, it's Chrono. "

Fiona leans down to think a little.

"One more push," Lily thinks.

"If you are a good adventurer who wishes to help the poor villagers, I want you to help us.

I won't stop you if you run into Sparda alone to protect yourself, and I will kill you on this occasion if you want to return to the Crusades. "

"I'm not going back to the Crusades, and as an adventurer on the continent of Pandora, I'd like to help you with your emergency quest."

Fiona to answer instantly, but Lily's satisfied expression told the story when she knew she would answer that.

"Because you are honest, I know how the Crusaders feel about the lack of untrained, the sense of justice that they cannot tolerate genocide.

And can you understand that you shouldn't refuse my offer?

Fiona showing a bare gesture to think again just a little bit.

But now he shook his head vertically.

"Well, if you're going to accept me, there's no reason to say no"

"Yes, thank you"

Lily smiles with a full face and welcomes Fiona for accepting to join the party.

"Hmm... maybe it's time"

"What is it?

"I don't have time to stay conscious of adults anymore today, so I'll briefly explain later, so listen carefully."

Fiona already knows that Lily has two consciousnesses, adult and child, so she understands without particularly pointing out any doubts.

"The leader of the party is Chrono, he should be here soon, so please introduce yourself appropriately and follow his instructions later"

"Okay."

Fiona snorts honestly.

"And let me tell you something about our point of sale so you don't get pulled over by other parties."

Lily looks young, but points a strangely resembling wink at Fiona.

"What is it?

"Chrono comes from a very distant country, so he makes a lot of delicious dishes that you don't know about, so you can eat all sorts of rare things while we're at it.

Ugh, you don't think sweet things are just ice candy. "

The words attracted more Fiona's interest than any other, you can even tell without reading her mind, because she is getting herself out and approaching Lily.

"Is that... true?

"Yeah, like pudding or something"

"What's that sweet-sounding food?"

In my head, Fiona recreates a variety of sweetnesses, but the mysterious food name I hear for the first time, expectations seem to be on the rise.

"Make sure of that yourself."

"I'll check right away"

Fiona responded with the squeaky belly bug squeal.

"Yeah, well, I'll tell you the last rule that matters."

"What is it?

An adorable smile, but only slightly seeped killer, Lily said.

"We are forbidden to fall in love within the party, so never forget that."

Leaving it at that, he fell to bed.

Immediately as it was, a lovely little sleep reached Fiona's ear.
