Kuro no Maou

A cross flag symbolizing the white god hangs on the Daedalus Royal Castle, claiming who the ruler of the land is.

And now, the former ruler, Dragon King Garvinal, that his glory has completely lost itself with death,

"You may step back now."

It was proven by the presence of a white girl who lay her back on this throne.

"Yes, excuse me, my lord Saliel"

Saliel, the Seventh Apostle of the Commander-in-Chief of the Crusades, who stretches out his spine and sits properly on the throne, dressed in the Sinclair Republican style with white paint, dropped off Sister as he left the room after his service.

Beside her, an empty envelope with a torn wax seal on the Holy Cross Seal.

"Surprised, I didn't know you were coming to the 'White Brave', to the Second Apostle Lord Abel"

The contents of the envelope are in the hands of Archbishop Luchrome, Sariel's deputy, who refrains from beside him.

The two read a letter sent by Pope Alexandros XI, which did not show up in his expression, but in his heart was dismayed by its content.

"Do you have any idea why Sir Abel is here?

The letter only said that Abel wanted us to respond well here because she was visiting the Pandora Continent in secret.

Unlike himself, Sariel asked frankly, thinking that if he were a head turning deputy, he might be able to deduce from the literal the reason for this ambushed visit.

"No, you don't.

If that Lord Abel is reason enough to move more than Elysion, there must be something to it, and it can't be just a whim. "

Unlike someone else, I felt like I could hear the irony.

Although the occupation of Daedalus is sporadic with small resistance everywhere, Crusader soldiers have already made strides to every corner of Daedalus and as a whole are doing well themselves.

There is nothing wrong with the conquest situation, if there is anything else, precisely the disappearance of the Eleventh Apostolic Mass.

However, this was also solved by the return of the person the other day, and the approximate circumstances have become apparent.

Anyway, by now, while listening to the complaint of the Twelfth Apostle Mary Bell, he would be watched by a smile like the Virgin Mary of the Third Apostle Mikael, rocked by the demonic battleship Gargantua and on the sea.

By the way, the Third Apostle Mikael, who was concerned about the secondary wreck, was lucky enough to be nabbed and not developed into a commotion in the whole city of Daedalus.

In the light of these recent Daedalus circumstances, it was not conceivable that Lychrome, as the Word suggests, had enough major problems for the Second Apostle Abel to move.

"Right."

Sariel also utters a word of consent.

She is only a top decorator when it comes to matters other than combat, occupation policies like the present, etc., but the story that LUCROM is not experiencing any particularly big problems is convincing because the minimum information still comes into her ears.

"This one shouldn't be doing extra prying than the circumstances are down"

"Yes, what Pope Holiness and Lord Abel do must be in keeping with God's will.

As it says here, make sure you get it right when you visit. "

I understand, and Luchrome accepted Saliel's words with such grace as a skilled old butler.

Since the visit of the Second Apostle Abel is a complete secrecy, the letter has instructions to limit the knowledge of who he is to Sariel, the Commander-in-Chief of the Crusades, and his deputy, Archbishop Luchrome.

Abel's superficial identity does not, of course, call him an apostle, a messenger whom the Pope sent immediately to examine the situation on the Pandora continent.

Since the aim was an investigation to report to the Pope, the apostles had been asked to provide as much information as the Crusaders knew.

"Archbishop Luchrome, could you please take your seat off for a moment?

In response to Saliel's request, which had been placed on his face, Luchrome responded without breaking his calm face, but after a beat.

"Now if you'll excuse me, let the guards know it's an early lunch break."

I honestly accept Saliel's request to "pay for it" without pursuing any particular reason.

Even if that is an inexplicable instruction, it cannot be stopped if it is what the Apostle does, all that can be done to a mere ‘human being' is not to answer, not to reckon, just to obey what he says in great measure.

"Thank you, I'll be back as usual for this afternoon's administration"

After a respectful salute, Luchrome followed the throne room.

Less than an hour later, there will be no one but Saliel entering the throne, and no one will be able to see the interior, in complete seclusion.

Only one, between the ruling thrones of silence, Saliel groaned small.

"You can come out now."

But the voice, which was supposed to just scratch out into the void, did reach a certain person.

"Hey, I'm sorry about something, I think I let you out of your mind."

Between the thrones where no one is supposed to be, but from what time the hell were you there, a single girl shows up from the shadow of a thick cylinder.

A blonde twin tail, a thin shirt and a mini skirt, but a simple leather breastplate and boot gear indicate that she is not an ordinary person.

If you mean it in a nutshell, the figure is a rookie adventurer.

diving through numerous training grounds, the style of being an adventurer in a war, etc. as if you can't feel, an unusual girl, but who is

"Welcome to the Continent of Pandora, Eighth Apostolic Eye"

Nor did Saliel seem particularly surprised by the emergence of a rampant apostle who lived the world freely, and he expressed his welcome.

"You're as cute as ever. Senior Sariel! But if you're gonna say welcome, I guess you wanted me to smile!

Saliel had a slight pimple in his mouth at the words of Eye, which could also be taken as disgusting.

I wasn't angry, I was trying to laugh.

"I'm sorry, Senior Saliel stayed put"

Seeing Saliel's tearful efforts, which did not pay off at all, Eye seemed to reflect.

"So, what can I do for you?

Now that it was time to go back to being faceless with no change whatsoever, Sariel listened to the junior she had not met in a long time, without being able to make funny and strange public stories or anything.

"Because I thought I knew Atashi was here (Pandora), through Mass -"

It was a fact.

When the missing Mass returns to Daedalus Royal Castle with a grumpy face, she asks the boulder where she went and what she has done.

And of course, the name of the Eighth Apostle Eye came up, which was an unexpected encounter.

"- I thought I'd say hello."

"Really?"

It is for that reason that we have infiltrated the Daedalus Royal Castle, the centre of the present Crusades, between its deepest thrones, where strict security is laid.

If this was only accomplished by a man, it would be astonishing, but a republican would surely be convinced to say ‘the apostle did it’.

Saliel thought it would be possible enough to sneak in so far without anyone finding him, especially if he was good at making an appearance, and it was an indisputable fact because he actually showed up in front of him.

"Oh, but I have a favor to ask you, will you?

The eye that flies winks with his hands together in front of his chest is like a daughter who whilst snuggles at his father.

"What is it?

Sariel, who had never been struck by that adorable gesture, responded with impatience everywhere.

"Daedalus Branch of Adventurer Guild, make it quick!

Even Saliel, not so smart as to know what the request meant, could immediately have guessed.

Eye has worked in the Sinclair Republic, and hence throughout the Ark continent, becoming the first adventurer that would undoubtedly exist anywhere.

That's no exception to Coco, the existence of a large network of Adventurer Guilds on the continent of Pandora is information we've already known since we were pulling on Virginia.

Naturally, the Adventurer's Guild exists in this capital, Daedalus, but now neither the capital nor the province, the Daedalus Adventurer's Guild is functioning, for the reason, of course, that the Crusaders are occupying it.

The guild that the Demons have used so far and the guild that will be used by human beings in the Republic, even under the name of the same Adventurer Guild, is a completely different organization.

In Daedalus, which has already become the territory of the Republic, an Adventurer's Guild is established in accordance with the rules of the Republic.

At least for Eye to act as an adventurer in Daedalus territory, the Adventurer Alliance of the Republic will have to start operating for me.

"Okay."

Saliel accepted Eye's request in two replies.

"Yatter! I love Senior Saliel. No!!

Sariel takes the eye, spoiled, jumping with her arms wide open.

"The Adventurer Guild's … activities need to be… soon, so…"

Saliel kept explaining herself soundly as she slid her cheeks against Kawaii Kawaii and Eye.

The profession of adventurer is more than just diving into a dungeon and hunting for treasure.

In a world full of monsters, it's important to protect the people who live there.

The extermination and crusading of monsters is naturally one of the important tasks of the military, but it is impossible to deal with them perfectly by themselves.

If you take it to the general public, it's the adventurers who actively get rid of monsters near people and protect them closer together.

That's not all, they take on dangerous tasks for ordinary people, where fighting with monsters can occur, such as collecting medicinal herbs, personal escorts, and delivering goods.

In addition, adventurers who will acquire monster materials for their work supply many of them to adventurer guilds, commercial guilds, or directly to blacksmiths and tool shops.

They also act as producers of 'monster materials', so to speak.

Although they must exist in the lives of such people, adventurers must exist in both the Ark and Pandora continents, and there are enough major professions in which many human beings are engaged.

Then naturally, it would be understandable that Daedalus would also want the adventurer to start his activities as soon as possible, without having to listen to Saliel's explanation.

However, I haven't heard her explain at all, for the reason that Eye is obsessed with indulging in Sariel's white, puffy and soft cheeky sensations.

"For a while, are you staying in Daedalus?

Not one disgusting face on Eye's excessive skinship attack, Saliel asks lightly.

"Yeah, he said I'd do an adventurer until Coco settled down.

I'd really like to be a Pandora adventurer, Sole, because then I won't be able to do the only job of Atashi called fixing the world. "

The actions of the famous Eye, or Eighth Apostle, within the Republic are widely supported by the people as‘ good deeds’.

Even the army demolishes powerful monsters that are beyond its control, they are rooted near the center of power, and in a normal way they glorify undetectable officials and big merchants, there is no room for criticism.

But only the republic, and hence the area where the Crucifixion is believed, will do so to save people.

At last, it means' no help ’except to the followers of the Crucifixion.

Eye moves almost independently of the Church, but helps many people who believe in the Cross, whose actions in themselves are arguably the right work as apostles.

"Daedalus would be relieved if you were here"

"Nfu, thanks. - Hey!

He tries to kiss me with a mouse-to-mouse with momentum against Saliel who is happy to say it, but as a cross devout to the boulders, is sexual activity NG, the eye lips were suppressed with ease and palm.

"One thing I want to ask you"

"Hmm, what?

Are you still untrained on Saliel's thin peachy lips, an eye that lets you chew and mouth like an octopus?

"Did the 'demon’, who stood in a village called Alsace and caused so much damage to our Crusaders, really call himself Chrono?

There is also a case of Mass arbitrariness, and Sariel is close to learning about the offensive battle in the village of Alsace.

In the midst of a smooth Daedalus occupation, this battle, which has forced the obvious struggle to produce a huge number of casualties in excess of a thousand, is known not only to her, but to the whole Crusaders.

All this battle was an obvious‘ battle ’, which cannot be called a trivial‘ resistance activity ’of the Demon clan.

I am convinced that Saliel, who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Crusades, would be interested in hearing from Eye, a party to that Alsace offensive.

But I can't really solve the fact that I only ask about one man named 'Chrono'.

"Yes, maybe you know Senior Sariel, Chrono-kun?

Eye questioned Sariel back with a mean niyanya face.

It looks like a girl's welcome to ask the name of a man she likes, but the reality is that if she is bad, she may be interrogated by heresy.

……

Sariel responds in silence, not lying, but therefore.

Eye answers the first question in a manner satisfied with Sariel, who responded similarly to Jesus in his question.

"Because we had each other's names, there's no point in just rumors or mistakes.

It's a rare look with dark hair and dark eyes, and besides, it stands out because he wore even black robes and was about to run out of black all over his body.

Oh, and there was a super cute fairy girl with a super pretty witch daughter. "

How do you know? Sariel, who can still only respond to the words of Eye in silence,

(to Chrono Mao, no doubt)

Clearly convinced.

A black looking sorcerer who murdered a large number of crusader soldiers in the village of Alsace and is afraid to be called a ‘demon' is unmistakably the man he missed twice.

"It's unusual for Senior Saliel to turn an interest in a particular individual, I mean, isn't it the first time?

The point was really sharp.

If a girl named Saliel the Seventh Apostle has ever been somewhat involved in how indifferent she is to her surroundings, she can't possibly not know.

It is ideal as an apostle in a sense, merely to defeat the enemy and to carry out only the tasks given to it by the Church, but it is difficult to find there the humanity of the Saliel individual.

She tried to make sure, just in case, that the names of the men she knew matched those of the men hostile to the Crusaders.

That's all, but enough to see that the presence of 'Chrono' is special to Sariel.

"Hey, maybe I'm worried about Krono-kun's trick? I mean, was he an old man or something?

Ka and one thriving eye with unsolicited delusions like an older girl,

"There's no such thing as that."

Sariel replied coldly.

Instead of puppets, human emotions, she doesn't even have a living instinct in her mind.

It has nothing to do with girly feelings of liking the opposite sex, and cannot be understood.

"Hmm, well."

Eye stops pursuing any further what signs he perceived.

"Well, no, no, no, this is Atashi's new guild card, so if anything happens, ask for an guild."

That said, hand Sariel a single card.

There was only minimal personal data required, such as the class name Archer, in the name Eye everywhere, and the rank of the faster adventurer to count from below.

In Pandora continent, metal plates are guild cards, but in Ark continent, business card types that distribute such cards, which also come across massive prints, are called guild cards.

"Chrono-kun's koto, I'll let you know if I find anything, because whatever you say, I owe Senior Sariel, and I need to give it back to you with this kind of toko"

"No, I'm..."

"Bye! Good luck with your work, Senior Saliel!!

That's how Saliel could only shut up and drop off his eyes as he threw his parting words unilaterally and exited the door of the room with dignity.

"... Chrono Mao"

Sariel's whining never reached anyone's ear this time.

(Shouldn't have let him get away)

The thought that swirls within its breasts is undisputed regret.

Saliel is an Apostle and Commander-in-Chief of the Crusades, whose role is to kill enemies, not to pity them.

As a general headed by an army, it is incumbent upon me to keep the damage to my own army to a minimum.

And it is unacceptable for Saliel, whose work as an apostle is the only reason for existence, to have forced his own army to lose extra money by his‘ personal actions'.

Therefore regret, I shouldn't have done it then, there is one time for anyone, and Saliel had such distress.

(Made extra damage because of me)

What matters to Sariel is not who's dead, but someone's dead.

It's not that people die and are sad, it's just that you can't forgive yourself for causing soldiers to die in vain, you can't forgive them.

Conversely, nothing more.

It's not the life or death of a person for Sariel, it's the success or failure of a job that's the problem.

(Then it would be desirable for me to end it)

Thus, Sariel makes one decision about a man named Chrono Mao whom we would hate the Crusaders.

(If we met in ‘The Next Battle’ -)

No, that's not if, I'm half sure that guy will necessarily show up on the battlefield.

Think of the time you will visit in the near future

- I'll kill you with this hand.

As I told myself, Saliel vomited words of determination.

But dominating her chest is not anger at Chrono, who invited her to make a 'mistake' in her job.

It's just the saving of the minds of the experimental subjects, the anguish of having to kill a man who seems hopeful.

Yes, Saliel felt ‘depressed’ for the first time since becoming the Seventh Apostle.
