Kuro no Maou

"Ha... you're so nervous..."

With a sigh of relief, I head up the Alliance stairs to Lily's waiting room.

I'm super ashamed of what you're sayin ', "I'm the leader, whoever's complaining, stay in front."

But, well, you'll need more grandeur than you showed strength.

It is even doubtful whether that feeling is the right way of being strong.

"And it's a boulder rank four, that was a little dangerous."

The duel with Vulcan would have seemed like I had ruled a unilateral victory, but I didn't really feel that different in power.

I was only able to win lightly because it was compatible.

Vulcan is a power fighter as he looks, and he has stormed me with the intention of taking my offense directly in front of him.

A mage in line wouldn't have just fired enough to stop him from advancing, and he would have been beaten down as he was, because he actually took nearly ten shots of demon bullets and it was still no damage.

Vulcan is not only its tough flesh, but its power, speed, speed of reaction, and physical ability seem to be higher than my modified and enhanced.

"If we arm each other and do it again, we don't know if we can win."

Let's hope that opportunity doesn't come now.

Lily says, "You have to be strong so you can't lick me when I'm a leader," so my anxiety can't be shown in front of Vulcan or any other guy.

Well, he said naturally, "You're not wearing cancer!" As far as I can put Ichamon on, as long as I keep my usual look on it, I'll be fine.

With that in mind, I reach the guest room, which is my destination, and I ring a knock.

"Lily, we're back."

"Mr. Krono, please."

Mmm, this voice isn't Lily, is it Mr. Fiona?

Following the sound of unlocking, when the door is opened, there is indeed the figure of Mr. Fiona.

In the meantime, when he enters the room, Lily's figure of lying on the bed also quickly enters his sight and grasps the situation as to whether he has fallen asleep.

"Lily said she needed to speak to Mr. Fiona, but is it over yet?

If you casually ask that,

"Yes, I heard there was a sweet thing called 'pudding’"

The diagonal answer returned.

"What? Pudding?

"Plump, aren't you there?

Mr. Fiona stares with somewhat anticipating golden eyes.

"No, there isn't, is there? Nothing. I wasn't going to cook."

Even if you look at me like that, there's no such thing as no.

"Really..."

Mr. Fiona with an openly discouraging look.

What, this feels like I'm bad?

"If you want to eat, I'll make it next time"

"It's true."

Suddenly I'm fine, something. Don't remember that time when this reaction gave you ice candy.

"Next time, I can't do this right now, I'm busy until the end of my emergency quest, and I don't have the ingredients, and don't expect me to be able to do it any better."

"It's all right, we'll make sure we make a successful evacuation to Sparda"

Thanks for the reassuring words, for now I'll decide to find a place to lend me the kitchen when I get to Sparda.

"Now, let's think about our party name."

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Awkward, aren't you communicating with Mr. Fiona at all?

Or what are you talking about? The party? Is the evacuation a successful celebratory party?

"I'm Mr. Chrono's party member, right?

"Really?

"Is it not?

I don't like it anymore, a conversation where this tail can only be a Quencheon mark.

Relax, don't give up. I managed to find meaning in Mr. Fiona's utterly irrelevant words!

Lily's story, pudding, party members......

"Uh, was Lily talking about adding Mr. Fiona to our party, or something like that?

"Yes."

Bingo!

"I see, I see, I see everything."

"You seem convinced. Above all."

OK, I see the story.

"I'll make sure, but is it okay that Mr. Fiona is going to come into Lily's party with me?

"Yes, Lily says I'm the runaway witch who turns hundreds of miles in all directions into scorched earth, thank you"

Uh, I don't know about that super anxiety introduction, Lily. I didn't hear you were giving Fiona such a bad rating.

"Can I take that to mean I'm confident in magic?

"Yes, ‘just’ to magical power is confident.

Let's bring everything back to ashes, no matter the enemy's side. "

Ask after a beat in order to put up with the scratch.

"... can't you just burn down your enemies?

"Me, because the control of magic is just a little hectic.

Still, I was enthusiastically solicited to be one of them, so I decided to join the party. "

Hmm, and Mr. Fiona, who distracts his chest and is confident as if his nose is out.

"Well, well, well, if you're going to say Lily is a good idea, I'm pretty sure.

Well, good to see you again, Mr. Fiona. I welcome you too. "

It was an uneasy introduction everywhere, but in the end, I definitely don't have to accept her.

Mr. Fiona's magical power saved me from the rain of arrows on the wall of flames, and I trust her too.

More importantly, the benefactor of life, no reason to reject her.

"Yes, thank you"

We shook each other's hard hands and here the contract was concluded.

"Mr. Chrono."

What the hell are you going to confess this time, Fiona, with the look on your face that just seems a little hard to say?

"I told Mr. Lily, or he's found out, but I'll tell him first."

"What?

Wait for her words slightly nervously.

"I am a man of the Ark continent"

"... what?"

"Do you hate me?

Reflectively, I was spinning my magic so that I could shoot the demon bullet at any time, and even if Mr. Fiona didn't notice, he would definitely have read the killings he had unconsciously emitted.

"I'm sorry, just give me a minute"

Human beings from the Ark continent, which means that they are from the same forces as the Crusaders.

An unacceptable mad crusader who brought destruction and slaughter to the village of Iles, just like that, fellow countryman, fellow countryman, you can't let him live, you shouldn't kill him now?

"I'm glad you didn't have a"

If I had, I could have been flushed by those emotions.

Easy, now it's better to listen to Mr. Fiona.

He's the one who helped me in the first place, and more importantly, if Lily admitted it, I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with him as a person.

"It's okay, talk to me"

"Yes, but where should I start?"

It is the courtesy of the adventurer not to pry into the past, preface, and then continue with the words.

"I won't listen to you above me, and if you were a crusader soldier, if you killed people on Pandora continent, now I won't listen to them all, if you can talk to me as far as I can"

"Okay, but I don't have a past to hide.

I went to Elysion's School of Magic and when I graduated, I had no particular athe to go to, so I joined Pandora's expedition as a mercenary.

But the rice wasn't delicious, and I quit because I was very uncomfortable. "

"Did you really just betray me for that reason?," he asks unexpectedly straightforward.

Although it seems unlikely that Mr. Fiona would, it is still hard for Russia to believe that they would say that in reality.

"I'm not a crusader, and I quit after due process without receiving any money, so I'm not a mercenary."

"But look, we're going to be fighting Mr. Fiona and his hometown."

Also in response to that inquiry, Mr. Fiona responded with a sleepy look, as usual, and with a cheerful appearance that she did not particularly care about.

"The country, religion, human or demonic, it's none of my business.

Think of me as a traveler who came at random from some distant country, Mr. Chrono, just like you. "

"Lily told you?

"I'm from a very distant country," he said.

So consider my origins meaningless, because I will never be tied to them. "

I have no idea what the Ark Continent is, but I know what Mr. Fiona is trying to say somehow.

At last, she has nothing to protect.

Leaving aside whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, let's call Mr. Horned Fiona a perfectly free traveler who doesn't belong anywhere, or an adventurer beyond registering.

"Okay, I trust you, Mr. Fiona's already part of the party."

"Is that okay? I took part in the first invasion of Daedalus, and a certain number of people have been killed, can you forgive that, too?

"Fine, it's mercenary work, now it's a different job, that's all."

I don't have a brother-in-law who's already a murderer.

"I'd appreciate it if you thought so."

"I'm Ning Ro, I think Mr. Fiona is a man of Ark Continent."

I thought, no, nobody here right now, villagers or adventurers, knows anything about the Crusades.

We're almost in a state of fighting unidentified enemies.

"I've been around the village before, but no one knew anything about the Crusades or the Republic."

"Yeah, I've only heard the name of that republic."

Information is an important factor at all times, and in the case of battles, life is at stake.

If you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be in danger of a hundred wars. What a word to show the importance of information, if you look for it, it will be conveyed in this other world.

I met someone unexpectedly who could learn more about the Crusaders, and I can't believe I was one of them if I realized it, and this is nothing but luck.

There are many things you want to ask about the number of enemies, their equipment, their morale, their proficiency, their chain of command, what they think and what they intend to do.

"I'm so glad Mr. Fiona is one of us, I'm going to take care of her, thanks again"

"Yes, thank you for accepting me"

Fiona's expression remained almost unchanged, but she felt reassured somewhat.

"I've got a lot to ask you, but let's decide on the name of the party first. It's inconvenient when we're going to name it."

"Right, let's think of a good name together"

I was able to win the leader position of the adventurers in one of the duels, but that leads not only to me personally, but also to the central role played by the party I belong to.

First of all, Lily, now in addition to Mr. Fiona, we need to introduce the three of them together to the adventurers, who will be hard pressed to call them names of the parties at that time.

"But you've never thought of a party name before."

No, not once. In high school, my hobby was to write lanobe, so I thought of names like organization, institutions and troops.

But apart from Sole and Colle, I don't want to give my party such an exaggerated name, like God or doom.

If it were a direct indication of yourself, it would still be a good name to have been at your height.

"What does an adventurer usually feel like naming a party?

"Basically, you can do whatever you want, but that's right, a lot of times you keep the leader's name."

I see Vulcan also has a grand name for his party as "Vulcan Power".

but that's only because he's the only rank 4 and can have the strength to pull out of all of his members.

If we're going to take the strongest name of the party, we're going to be "Magical Lily".

"You may also use other common origins, classes, traits, or legends of members, or the name of the treasure you seek directly."

In our case, the place of birth is fragmented, or I'm not even in this world in the first place, because it's not made up of people from my hometown like "Ils Blader," so you can't name it that way.

Besides, I'm not particularly familiar with the legend of this world that hasn't been here for a year, and I don't have the treasure to look for it at last.

If I insist, I can go back to the original world. Speaking of looking for summoning magic, I'm not willing to abandon this situation right now and do a search for something like that.

"What we have in common is that we all use magic."

"What a party without a warrior to be avant-garde."

Absolutely right, I respond like an excuse while smiling bitterly.

"I only got a Rank 1 quest, so I'm glad I didn't really think about fighting until now."

"But when I attacked, I always involved the avant-garde, so I think it was better this way instead"

How unsure Mr. Fiona is of his attack control?

No, I didn't dare go in any further, it was the wind I cared about myself.

"Speaking of which, is Mr. Fiona good at flaming magic? When you helped me, you used the Firewall.

"Oh, that's just 'Fire Shield (Ignis Shield)'"

What is the approximate rationale, is it the strongest appeal or something?

"It's the real 'Fire Shield (Ignis Shield)', when I use magic, even lower magic gets to that size"

Fiona responded cordially to the question, "What happens if you shoot the attack magic?"

"Even" Fire Arrow (Ignis Sagitta) "is the same as Range Magic, might the power be the usual" Fire Spear (Ignis Fortis Sagitta) "or something like that"

I see, this does "return to ashes regardless of enemy allies," especially if you get shot in a narrow dungeon like a ruin or cave...

If you don't think carefully about where you use it, it will be catastrophic.

However, I knew exactly why Lily bothered to pull her into the party.

Lily, with her adult brains, thinks really carefully, it's really good that she didn't leave Mr. Fiona alone in the wild, because there could have been an unexpected explosion at an unexpected time.

"I'm best at fire attributes, but all non-light and dark attributes can be used until intermediate"

I'm just bragging a little bit, but not a little bit. I think that's actually pretty amazing.

"It's not uncommon for two or so, but I've never seen anyone use almost all of them"

I can only use black magic! Let's not do that because that kind of masochism just makes you vain.

"My darkness and Lily's light will cover all the attributes."

Although the black magic I use is different from the modern magic (model) and the surgical lineage, it does not change to manifest the attributes of darkness.

Demon Bullets (Barrett Arts) are only materialization (materialization), but shadow space can be described as magic that completely utilizes dark attributes.

"Nice, there's not much else to be able to handle all the attributes.

If you can do it alone, you can name the legendary Ruler of Elements. "

"Element master, nice sole, that's cool."

Being able to handle all attributes means being able to create weaknesses in opponents that are closely related to attributes such as magicians and monsters, and vice versa, preventing the opponent's attacks with highly tolerant attributes.

We're limited to magic, but we're in the middle of a strong party configuration.

"Is it called the Element Master to manipulate all attributes, primary color magic, by himself?

"You're right about that perception, the real Element Master exercises more than advanced all-origin magic, and will surely accomplish something of a great feat and keep its name in history.

It's one of the ideals of a magician. "

Oh, it's still good, the title of a legendary magician manipulating all attributes.

"Well, then let's call it our name."

"Right, I think I'm good.

Lily must agree with you. "

Therefore, the name of the party was determined.

"OK, now we're the Element Masters."
