Kuro no Maou

Elina, a young receptionist working for the District Branch of Sparda Adventurers Guild School, had one heartbeat the moment the man in his magician apprenticeship robe appeared.

"Welcome back, Master Chrono, and congratulations on the success of your quest! That's Rank 3!!

Elina's smile was heartfelt, for the first time since serving on the guild.

"Oh, yes, thank you"

It was a slightly facetious and other windy chrono to just a dazzling smile and unexpected words of praise, but for now I replied without difficulty.

"Uh, well, then, please"

Having received with a smile the three guild cards offered by Chrono, Elina began operating a magic device (magic item) that updates the guild cards with familiar hands.

"You're ranking up incredibly fast, I'm surprised"

"Well, me and the party members, I remember some things in my arms."

No great difficulty so far, and the strength of having been promoted to Rank 3 lightly, would not be what I would call ‘somewhat confident’.

For example, if a skilled adventurer who is now rank 3 and has a long history of starting from rank 1 again is asked if he can return to rank 3 there for a month at a time, the answer is no.

Though a Rank 2 Monster Crusade Quest, even if Strength is Rank 3, careful preparation and careful standing on the ground will be required.

Sometimes it is not uncommon to discover targets but to miss them, depending on whether they are too large a herd or the trends of the surrounding monsters.

Then, naturally, completing the quest will take a reasonable amount of time.

Nonetheless, in view of the time of just over a month until it rose to Rank 3, there is nothing short of proof left that in all the quests ordered, if encounted, it ended the crusade quickly.

This party, the Element Master, will almost invariably take out more monsters than the prescribed number on Crusade Quests.

This is correct and proof that to the extent that the monsters have herded, they are strong enough not to be opponents at all.

Already, Elina is convinced, that the Element Master definitely possesses a higher strength than Rank 4.

"Ugh, before you became an adventurer, what were you doing?

"Sorry, that means it's a secret"

"No, it was rude of you to pry extra."

Even in such casual exchanges, Elina is still convinced that a man named Chrono is not a countryman from the village of Iles and, as the saying goes, has only a secret.

On further thought, I can predict that party member Leprechaun Lily and Witch Fiona, these two would not be childhood tamers from the same village, etc.

(Maybe he was an elite knight of Daedalus or something?

To my mind, my background in taking part in an emergency quest to evacuate from Daedalus to Sparda is also suspicious.

Rather than consider themselves mere adventurers, it fits that they, the survivors of the defeated Daedalus army, served as lords to let the people escape.

After fleeing to Sparta, the way the country's doomed knight behaves as an adventurer is not such a bad choice.

(Mmm, I can't believe you're a knight of the diaspora, that's not quite a situation)

Together, she is likely to be trapped in sweet delusions, but there, as an elite receptionist too, Elina performs her job perfectly, that is, guild card renewal is over.

"Yes, we're done updating."

As such, Elina said words of celebration and encouragement on top of each other as she handed Chrono a new guild card with increased shine at once from bronze to silver.

Praised with heartfelt words and a smile, Chrono showed a slight illumination, as he said embarrassed.

Some people would say it was horrible, like his cold and sharp appearance breaking up with each other, became a tremendous gap adoration and tormented Elina's heart.

(Shit, yi......)

Unexpectedly, the salivating nosebleeds were about to blow, Elina, but she manages to maintain a superficial calm by the reason of the steel held by the elves.

"By the way, Master Chrono, what will you do with your quest?

From previous rules of thumb, now show me all the Rank 3 quests you need to get to Rank 4, and they should come.

"No, I'll do the quest again"

"Oh, really?

In response to that unexpected response, slightly clapped out Elina paused listing Rank 3 quests in her brain.

"Yes, from now on, I'm going to try to attend a seminary adventurer course"

"I see, did you"

And, although I say it by mouth, Elina's head filled with doubt.

(Why now? strong enough, and if you've come up to rank 3, I know the adventurer Iroja, plus, if you were a knight, there must be quite a bit of upbringing)

Adventurer courses are all fundamental to any discipline you can learn as a pedagogy, such as reading and writing of letters and preliminary mathematics, brief history, and theology.

No matter how much Daedalus was an emerging nation, some discipline should have been repaired if the country had become a knight.

(What the hell am I supposed to learn from an adventurer course or something?

I also wondered whether Elina, who had no immediate answer, had missed the prediction that she was a Daedalus knight in the first place, and ended up going back to the reckoning that she had no idea who Chrono was.

"Um, can I have one?

Chrono called out this time where his head was about to overflow with hatena marks.

"Yes, what is it?

Elina responds instantly with a perfect smile without flashing her hair, in her head she doesn't disrupt her superficial attitude, even though in her second year of service, it was already a professional realm.

"I heard that going up to Rank 3 would also pretty much unlock the monster info, so I'd like to browse it"

"Yes, that's right, you'll be able to view almost all the information from rank three.

That information is upstairs, apart from the library. "

Rank 3 is considered a serving as an adventurer.

Therefore, the Alliance believes that it is also their freedom to challenge monsters above rank from there.

Reckless challenges will only waste lives, but if you build some strength and aim higher from there, you will also need to jump into a little danger.

With that decision, the Alliance authorizes almost all monster information, except some top secret information, to be viewed by adventurers of Rank 3 or higher.

"I see, I see, thank you"

Elina raised her chest one more time to Chrono, who thanked her for her cordial explanation.

"I'll be back soon to see the quest."

Thank you, Chrono for trying to leave the scene,

"Please wait, Master Chrono"

Elina pulled back.

"Yes?"

I guess I didn't even think it would take a stationary word or anything like that, Chrono's face has a faint colour of confusion.

"I'm sorry, it's personal, but I really, uh, wanted to thank you again."

"... thank you?

Before Chrono asked what, Elina bowed her head deeply and uttered words.

"Thank you so much for helping us where we are in danger.

If Master Chrono hadn't come in to help me then I would have lost my life by that horrible murderer. "

"Ha, ha, a murderer? - Yeah, that, maybe, someone who was attacked then?

Elina went on to say a few mean words to Chrono, who gave the look of genuine surprise.

"Maybe you didn't know who I was?

"Oh, no... sorry, I was desperate for this one then, so I couldn't afford to even check my face"

"No, that's okay, you don't know in that situation, and I, I had a different haircut.

But I'll be right there, Master Chrono. I get it. "

Yes, that's why Elina's breasts are pounding like maidens of her age, relative to Chrono's.

Night, who appeared refreshed and protected us from the curse mad murderer Jort, that is Chrono.

"I'm sorry, but I'm glad you're okay"

"That's the dialogue over here, I called the gendarmerie immediately, but I was anxious to see if I had made it... I heard the upside of things when I heard about the situation, so I was finally relieved."

What makes this situation here is that Erina was allowed to listen to the situation within that day, and Krono was allowed to appear the next day after an overnight break, sometimes after the battle.

I also knew that Elina was helped by Chrono, but I don't even know where she's staying.

So in the end, I thought that only the Adventurer's Guild would be able to make sure we looked at each other, and as a result, that's exactly what's happening now.

"Thank you for calling the gendarmerie, thank you"

Then we exchanged a few words rejoicing in each other's safety, and Chrono only followed the occasion this time.

Elina shrugged, staring at her manly big back wrapped in a black robe.

"Ugh, Mr. Chrono, I'll give you a hundred points."

The score as Chrono's man, who had been on hold for a while, recorded Elina's all-time high of 100 points at this moment.
