Kuro no Maou

Then two days later, on the 13th of the Platinum month, the time finally came for Lily and Fiona to travel.

"Oh no, no, no, no, no!

"Then I'm coming, Mr. Chrono"

"Oh, hey, Lily's crying so hard..."

"I'm coming"

"... come on in"

Thus, Fiona carried away Marie, her beloved horse, with Lily screaming with her hands, feet and feathers in a relentless manner, like a slave trader taking a mullified toddler from her parents.

"Chrono ooh ooh ooh!!" and the voice of a sad lily calling my name was refrained in the back of my brain all day that day.

The following day, on the 14th of the month of Platinum, Simon and Will left for an outdoor exercise.

"Phew, ha, ha! With the new power of this Black Iron to Destroy (Buster Rifle), it will replicate the myth, but it will have the same great effect. Let's go, to the land of Ischia!

"Well, I'm coming, brother"

and this one had no particular problem, done a light goodbye and dropped the two off.

No, it's the three of us, including the maid who follows Will behind him like a shadow, to be exact.

The outdoor exercises are also made with escorts, but the boulders are royal.

And the next day, on the 15th of the month of platinum, I was finally alone.

From the night of the 13th, I missed Lily, who was always sleeping with me, quite a bit, but this morning, when I had a silent breakfast alone in the deserted lounge, a tremendous sense of loneliness struck me.

"This is really lonely..."

Whatever you say, talk to yourself. There are no fairies to snort at, and no witches to give back a little slack. Of course, there are no more alchemists to give you the proper scratch.

"... I'm coming"

When I was ready, I left the front door of the dorm with words to whine about.

There are classes even if you're alone, if you don't attend properly.

Today, there was a rare morning to evening class.

Except for the lunch break, where I sat on the bench and had one silent sandwich in the bright, downpouring sunlight, it can be said that I was very sad to be able to concentrate on the class and to lose much of my loneliness.

Well, just because all classes are over doesn't mean you're done for today.

Lily and the others are working hard to get out of here, I'm not the only one who can relax.

On the difference, I am in the search for ways to make more effective use of the black magic flame, the first protection that does not exert any noticeable power.

So far, the most I expect from this flame is:

"Strengthen Your Arms (Vols Boost)!

I'm aiming to master Force-Boost, a supportive magic of muscle growth that uses the primary color magic of this flame, but I'm not doing very well.

Since the original magic is not black magic, nor is it a wack mimicking the modern magic (model) technique as it is, it will be a black magic that raises your arm strength, apart from 'Forth Boost' to be precise, but, well, I'm calling it that for now.

"Damn, what's wrong..."

Before we went on the Gleedgore crusade and the last few days since we got back, there was one person in the unpopular lonely woods behind this dorm called "Arm Strength (Forth Boost)!" He continues his vain practice of yelling and ending in underdevelopment.

While Fiona taught me,

"Mr. Chrono, it feels more like this, Bower, burn up -"

Oh, while I'm being taught...... yeah, well, the whole theory is going to be in my head. Though I really ‘intend’ to.

Anyway, it seems certain that there is another problem in understanding and practice.

There is a black flame swirling in my body that has changed its attributes with the protection of black magic. But that just makes me feel the heat builds on my body, and I can't reach that feeling of muscle strength rising.

I've had Fiona put on "Forth Boost" many times in my previous quest experience, so I remember exactly what it felt like to activate it.

That's why you clearly know it hasn't come to that.

"Damn, I can't use modern magic at all."

The biggest reason I've ever been considered impossible to master modern magic (models) is that there is absolutely no primary color magic to manipulate each attribute.

However, even though the pseudo attributes that transformed the black magic, which made it possible to manipulate the flame thanks to the protection, theoretically there should be no problem in exercising the same effect as magic using the flame.

It's not very efficient, but we were able to shoot out an exploding mass of flames at once.

Still, I never see any signs of success.

"I guess I'm not talented..."

No, no, you can't be so negative that it doesn't work out a bit, I have no pity for you.

Relax, it's not a rush time yet.

According to a story Lily purchased from an informant, the Crusaders have yet to make any particular noticeable moves. I guess the other side is well prepared for the opponent of a powerful country called Sparda.

Either way, we are lucky that we still seem to have time to spare. The trials of protection, of course, include these magical exercises, because there is as much that needs to be done.

Let's not rush it, let's do it from what we can, it's out of the question to give up.

And more importantly,

"You can't lose to Lily and Fiona! Whoa, 'Arm Strengthen (Vols Boost)'!!

I went on until the sun completely sank at that rate, but in the end, I didn't succeed in activating it once.

Platinum month 17th.

There was only one class to attend today, so I spent most of the day practicing 'Forth Boost'.

I took a lunch break and went out for a change of mood and a couple of human men and cat beast women were flirting hard in the next seat.

I sincerely regretted that I should have had lunch in the dorm with an adult.

Of course, Arm Enhancement (Vols Boost) is not activated.

Apart from the fact that the temperature of the heat that winds up in my body was felt to be higher, there is no change.

Platinum moon 18th.

During Sparda's history class, there was also a student-like event in which neighboring groups were noted in private languages.

Speaking of which, I was reminded once again that I haven't had a single friend besides Will since I came to this school.

"Arm Strengthen (Vols Boost)" has not changed, except it is getting hotter and hotter.

You're not gonna blow yourself up, are you?
