Kuro no Maou

"But I'm sorry, can you leave me alone now..."

Lily stared alternately at her palm, unraveled, and Chrono's face with a vain look on her face.

"Oh... but..."

The unexpected Chrono words and actions, Lily chases him with a grin that is nothing more than a frozen expression.

"I'm sorry, I might be worried, but I really, really need to think alone"

The opposing Chrono also said to Lily with a smile he had been forced to make.

"Oh, no..."

"Please, please, my love, will you listen to me?

It was an unequivocal rejection.

At this time, Lily was stuck for the first time by Chrono with negative feelings about herself.

Lily naturally perceives the consciousness and emotions that appear on the surface of others by virtue of the psycholeptic (telepathic) abilities that any fairy can have, which is no exception to Chrono.

Until now, Chrono never even remembered the slightest stress on Lily's privacy in living together.

And Lily understood the matter so much that she could read the emotions themselves.

But now at this moment, Chrono wanted to distance himself from Lily, I thought.

That's because I was never neglected. But not because I didn't like Lily's attitude.

Because if we stay together, Lily's going to look like she doesn't want to.

I don't want Lily to look sorry for me, I'm sure that's from that moment we met in the fairy forest.

Chrono held on all the time, it is the will of a man.

Therefore, now that I remember the shock that my heart seemed too big to be torn apart, only now, I wanted to disappear from before Lily.

"Sorry, dude..."

A normal sober girlfriend would have been able to understand Chrono's true intentions, no, even without telepathy or anything like that, but she could have predicted enough by looking at its behavioral background and attitude.

But the emotion that appeared in Chrono's superficial consciousness, the voice of his mind trying to escape from Lily's presence, his "desire to leave Lily," strikes her heart with the greatest and most powerful shock of his life over the last thirty-two years.

Before his first willingness to reject directed at him by Chrono, it was just that Lily lost her tranquility.

Destroying the Fountain of Light with her own hands, no matter how many people died, never wavered its heart, pity cold, cruel Lily, but now at this moment her heart was shaking.

As if, a pure poor maiden refused to confess by a one-sided opponent.

"No, I'm sorry, it's too much to worry about, but you can leave me alone."

"Yeah... no, I stopped, I'm sorry"

Lily wanted to compliment herself for returning so without disturbing herself.

But the voice did tremble.

And I don't even notice Chrono who can't afford to worry about other people already for such a change in Lily.

As the superficial word suggests, Chrono became alone, and Lily admitted it, that was all the arrangement was made.

"I'm sorry, Fiona, but I need you to go home with Lily first"

Tell Fiona that she had erased so much of her presence that she thought she was assimilating with the shadows right next door.

"Okay."

Of course, Fiona couldn't have stopped Chrono, even though she was worried more than Lily could have stopped her.

"I'll be home by dinner, I'm sorry, I'll be shopping again."

"No, never mind"

Krono left only one more word of apology in a grinning mood and began walking towards a dark alley, a different direction from the original path.

With that back slightly distant, Lily stares open at her eyes as she shivers her body into small pieces.

But until the final moment when his figure disappeared after that, Lily could not utter a word that would hold him back.

"Mr. Lily, let's go home"

Looking at Lily's feathers, which had lost some brilliance, over her back Fiona spoke out letting them contain just a few nuances that seemed worrying.

But Lily was unresponsive as if she hadn't heard her voice or something, and she wouldn't move while staring at the end of the alley where Chrono walked away.

"Lily -!?

The moment she turned around from behind and saw Lily's face, Fiona was more breathtaking than she expected to see.

"Hi... Gu..."

From the eyes of the beautiful emerald there were zero large tears like treasure balls that emitted a clear glow.

"Ugh, Gu Gu... Ku, to Krono..."

shaking his luxurious shoulders, covering his face with white, thin hands,

"Chrono pissed me off...... uhhhhhhhh!

Lily cried for the first time in her life.

I was sad that the people I loved rejected me, and I was horrified that they would hate me, and I raised my voice and cried.

Tears continue to flow unstoppable, as if the whirling sorrow had overflowed my heart intact.

"Mr. Lily, if you're crying, I don't know what to do"

You don't even know how to comfort someone who doesn't like people in the first place, Fiona, or who cries to grief.

But I thought I could expose this tearful fairy girl to the public.

"In the meantime, please hide your face here"

Fiona thus switched the giant black triangle hat, the witch's trademark, from her own head to Lily.

The witch who revealed her pale watery hair kept standing beside it until the fairy finished crying.
