Kuro no Maou

The Cat's Tail Pavilion, an inn for adventurers, has already been around for a month.

Regardless, I'm not in the inn during the quest, but it doesn't make any difference that it's the longest sleeping place since I came to Sparda, and it's no exaggeration to say I'm already used to seeing it.

It's a simple inn with such a private room.

"Mmm."

Lily, who is replacing Chrono's gift, the white pump robe, with a sleeping roll, is mulling over the bed.

It is tightly worn to the hood with long rabbit ears, and if you sleep on the depression, a child with white pump looks asleep.

No, I have a slice in my back to get my feathers out, so you'll find out the contents are fairies even if I end up lying down, there's no fool to mistake for being a feathered subspecies.

Incidentally, it seems hot and bitter to wrap a fur robe around this time of summer, but the characteristic of being less susceptible to temperature changes characteristic of magical organisms, which is the default fairy to spend all season naked in the first place, also appears firmly in the half-dozen demons Lily.

Such an adorable robe, or beside a fairy in a goose, a figure of Fiona sitting in a chair.

This one is not a regular witch outfit, but a lightweight black shirt with smooth dragon skin hot pants and a pretty rough, more like underwear outfit.

Chrono's eyes, which are heterosexual, do not appear to be going out, and he has sparingly exposed his white skin.

"Free time."

Lily, who is same-sex in her fancy Fiona outfit, doesn't care anything, just complains of boredom.

Because of its young mumps, I thought it was very childish, and this still actually brought the adult consciousness back to normal.

Although Lily understands to rest and be strict on Chrono for the rest of the day in order to regenerate her feathers, she is limited to the tips she can do on the bed if she is not sleepy.

Therefore, it would be a natural consequence to have time to spare.

I don't know if I thought it was for Lily, but Fiona spoke quietly.

"Mr. Lily, I need to talk to you for a second."

"Consultation? Dinner?

Lily looking at Fiona with a frigid eye, the large eye ornament on the hood that mimics the head of the pump also looks like she's staring at it together.

"No, you don't, or it's not as exaggerated as consulting."

"You've got a lot of bad teeth to say, but you don't have to keep talking nonsense anyway."

While Lily and Fiona were women, they were not of such a nature as to prefer to chat.

Is it the innate temperament, the environment in which you grew up barely interacting with people, or both?

But it seems to remember the feeling that Lily and Fiona, who can already be said to allow their minds far more than others in red, enjoy at least getting into conversation with each other as friends.

The beginning of the friendship between the two of them would have been that, retrospectively, they worked together in the village of Alsace to create the potion as part of their interception preparations.

It's been a long time since Lily lost any resistance to being one of us and having a conversation without contents with Fiona, whom she could call her second friend in her life.

Lily listened to Fiona's words in a light-hearted manner, along with a large rabbit growing on her head.

"We're vulnerable to fiery enemies."

"… that's a topic we can call a serious enough consultation"

After all, Lily's prediction that if it wasn't dinner, you mean the lunch she just had, was overshadowed in an unexpected direction.

"I've also been an adventurer on solo, so I've dealt with roughly my enemies, but I've never had a fiery enemy that strong so far"

"The Fairy Forest (Fairy Garden) didn't have any powerful monsters in the first place, so I can't say I'm very experienced either"

Both have a good grasp of their own power, which has been present together since an early age, in an objective sense compared to the chrono, which was suddenly planted with extrahuman power, beyond being born and raised in this world.

It is an undisputed fact that the two of them are not complacent enough to already have enough strength to do it as first-rate adventurers.

But from now on, instead of living an adventurer's life commensurate with your power, you will need strength to fight rank 5 monsters on a daily basis.

Yes, Chrono is not the only one who needs strength, so are the girls who side by side with him.

At the very least, neither Lily nor Fiona are willing to go through the Element Master, which is something that Krono knows.

"Shouldn't we, too, think about it a little bit more"

"To be strong, you know.

Chrono will be stronger from now on, with the protection of the Demon King, no, there must be nothing like that to be stronger. "

Right, and Fiona hammers.

I'm not simply saying it in my body.

Fiona knows that even during the busy period of preparing for interception, Chrono is still making magical improvements at an incredible speed with "Shadow Tentacles (Anchor Hands)" and "Shadow Space (Shadowgate)".

It's not easy to increase the magic effect that you can use. You can't tell Fiona what kind of magic theory is happening in Chrono's head, but you can see that his black magic leaves much room for growth.

Lily was right, I could have expected it to be stronger in a different way without protection.

"It's an absolute rule that adventurer parties are organized between people of the same strength."

Fiona affirms.

For example, like "Vulcan Power," there are parties like rank 4 for only Vulcan and rank 3 for other members, but that is made up only because rank is 3 and other members only have the strength to fight with Vulcan properly.

Regardless, in the case of noble road adventurers, that is not the case, because they cannot be called ‘legitimate’ adventurers.

It's only because the strength of the members is what they deserve that they maximize their power as a party and show enough teamwork to outperform even their qualified opponents.

It is absolutely necessary to avoid putting the weak into the party in a life-threatening adventurer operation, in which the original power cannot even be achieved, not least with the strength of one's feet.

That also applies to the 'Element Master' as it is.

Chrono thinks of the two as his valued companions, and both Lily and Fiona, whatever the degree of difference, have built trust among all their members.

But "Element Master" is not just a group of friends, and if an adventurer party, if a member, changes in power relations more than ever before, and is seen as less than capable of fighting side by side with Krono, the leader, you cannot be at the earliest party.

And that, gentle but not sweet, Chrono would tolerate the departure of the members.

"I would never like to be next to Chrono, but Chrono's uselessness is harder than dying."

Lily reveals her true intentions straight without hiding them.

"Neither do I... I hate it, I finally got a trustworthy companion, I don't want to leave"

Lily couldn't read exactly what emotions were being praised for Fiona's words.

Conversely, it can be said that the more telepathically unreadable it is, the more it is a word uttered in a state of hidden conscience.

I don't have a very good feeling about what the hell you're hiding, but Lily decides to put it aside for one second.

"Well, I couldn't help but struggle because there was a compatibility difference in heat resistance than this opponent was rank 5 -"

In short, an opponent with light and flames can fight enough for a Rank 5 monster.

"- But you still need something to fill that weakness."

"Yeah, because I'm sure we'll be fighting the Apostle"

The overthrow of the Apostle, if you hear that in the Republic, you will either be laughed at with your nose "you can't do it" or you will be angry "how much you are willing to sacrifice your soldiers".

Fiona was one who returns a similar reaction, but more than being part of the Element Master, she must decide to be prepared to fight the Apostle.

Fighting with Chrono, belonging to the Element Master, is, in other words, that's what it is.

"Just because the Crusaders have attacked doesn't necessarily mean the apostles will come out, but it's hard not to know how much time we have."

"Let's hope for the Spartan army there, Mr. Chrono's time to gain protection, our time to gain more strength, that's how much you'll earn"

In fact, there is no such thing as knowing the trends of the Crusades, so I can't help but think about the problems around here.

Then cut it off and there's still nothing better than working on the way you think you're best without worrying about time.

At least that's what Chrono thinks, challenging the trials of Demon King Mia Ellord, who doesn't know when he'll finish.

"Even so, what should we do?"

Lily will probably be the one that bothers you the most.

Anyway, she has only fought with her own unique magic (extra) so far, like other magicians, she has no way of mastering powerful magic.

If you are Fiona, who governs modern magic (model), you will find advanced magic of flames, light and darkness, attributes other than

You can also set goals that are easy to understand, such as mastery.

"Bye -"

But Fiona gave Lily such a light answer.

"Why don't you use your weapon?

"... weapons?

I didn't have that idea, and Lily, with a surprising and convincing look on her face, also looks surprised by the wonder and robe's head.

"I've been wondering about you for a long time, but you don't have a class, do you, Lily?"

I'll unintentionally try to take out my guild card, Lily.

Only there is simple information: 'Rank 2', 'Name Lily', 'Class Fairy'.

Even now, Lily would like to rethink whether to include the race name in the class.

I was a child when I made this guild card in the village of Iles, so I must have written it as a fairy without thinking about it.

I resent my old self. Shame on you. Do it, push your emotions to death,

"You want me to be a witch?

I choose to proceed with the conversation for now.

"I'm not saying anything about witches, but why don't we set up some kind of class and use weapons?

Most of all, it is visible that it is not a big addition to Lily, who already has a 'red crystal sphere (Queen Beryl)', where she is equipped with a single magic wand.

"But yeah...... a weapon I can handle too, no, if I can master magic other than that, I might gain the power of a different pedigree from the intrinsic magic of today (extra)"

The more I think about it, the more I see new possibilities.

"When you get to Rank 3, it's about going to school with Mr. Chrono, and if you learn a lot there, you might come up with some good ideas."

"Sure, I was just thinking about enjoying my student life with Chrono -"

Lily had read many books of romantic objects staged in magic and cadet schools, which were in a collection of books left in her cabin by forest magicians, and actually had something close to a kind of yearning for a place she secretly called school.

I am not willing to go alone, but if I think it is the man I love who goes there with me, my expectations increase with no response.

For the record, all the romantic novels left by magicians depicted forbidden love between men.

"- Fine, let's not find the class I deserve."

"By the way, what class does Mr. Lily want to be in?

"Well, I don't know about necromancers."

"I see, that's perfect"

Fiona, who failed to understand Lily's fairy joke, was soon to engage in heavy labor in her mood as she returned to her infancy.
