Kuro no Maou

Episode 344 Reunion (1)

The Monster Legion was devastated, defeated Gleedgore, and Sloughsgill, who was manipulating everything, was also dead. The crisis has finally left.

"Oh, it's raining."

It was so dusty, by the time the battle was over, I stopped wondering.

The sunlight also begins to plunge in from the thick slices of dark clouds, illuminating the hills of Ischia brightly.

But that doesn't mean that the clothes that have been exposed to heavy rainfall and become zubbly wet are dry.

"I want to go home and take a hot bath..."

Stinging and leaking such a grunt, I was alone looking at the blurry Ischian hills from above the walls.

Shortly after I finished Slowsgill, the students, aware that the battle had finally come to an end, cheered for victory, but I can't be happy forever.

You don't have to stay in this castle any longer than your enemies are gone. In the first place, no one and he are exhausted by the battle of the castle day after day. I'm sure you feel like going home earlier than I do and getting some rest.

"Okay! Definitely take this Greedgore body home to Sparda!!

"This size can't be bouldered. Yikes! The Knights or the Alliance will have to handle it!

Only Will, however, is very well.

He is climbing the carcass of Gleedgore lying on the ground and appealing to his students to desperately take it home.

It's not Eddie who says something about unscrupulous demands. Shenna, a child-friendly girl with a frightened face, also stands next door. Apparently, they're both doing better than anything else.

Yeah, I guess I could really help everyone this time - yeah, I feel smudged.

"Then! Triumph over to Sparda with this and turn it into a new legendary page for the Black Nightmare Mad Warrior (Nightmare Berserker)!!

Will will you be a little bit careful when you say things that ruin my emotion? He said my real class was black wizards.

Ha, and with a small sigh, I kept looking bonyard at the students returning from the top of the castle wall.

I offered to help, but you must have ruined my labor for knocking down two bosses, and they politely refused to let me rest. Don't come near me because you're afraid of me. It's not a nuance.

That's the kind of wacky thing that only I'm allowed to rest, so this is how my body can stand still looking for rest.

Outside the castle gate, dragon cars are already available, and the students load their bags while rushing to and from. It seems hard inside in tired bodies, but their faces are all colored with bright smiles.

Victory seems to be vitality above all else.

- Chrono-kun.

It arrives unexpectedly, a kind voice calling my name.

If I looked up, there stood a beautiful princess, rocking her long dark hair in a breeze that couldn't blow.

"Nell, is the treatment good anymore?

Yes, and if you look at her smiling and nodding, you can assume that's all the wounded were helped.

By the time I arrived, many students would have been quite injured by the melee, as it was already like a monster breaking into the castle.

Nell, like me, is forced to be quite tired in battle, but still the ability of a healer (Priest) is required at times like this.

Most importantly, if anyone was hurt herself, she would have no hesitation in exercising healing magic even if her magic was near its limit.

"My brother, uh, is Prince Nero okay?

"Huh? Yes, because my hands and feet were just suffering from mild paralysis (paralysis)"

I didn't know how unexpected I was to hear about Nero, Nell seemed somewhat surprised, or who he was visiting about, such a reaction.

I can't help it, Nero and I hardly know each other, and making that slight contact was the worst case scenario. To him, I'm still a vicious tentacle man.

Nevertheless, even though it's mild paralysis, I thought it would be more disturbing because my beloved brother was injured... well, it's still the same party there, and I guess I'm used to situations where Nero gets injured. Including that, it must be connected to my absolute trust in my brother.

"If it's no big deal, it's good. If Prince Nero hadn't shown up then, I'd be dead."

I think I was really lucky. Kind words and healing magic like Nell didn't do it for me, but that's all his appearance deserves to be appreciated.

"Sorry, Nell, you made me worry because I got hit once. I didn't think you'd pop up."

Nero had cornered Gridgore until just one more step, but he was reversed because Nell popped up.

I suppose she's still reflecting that it was just a frivolous behavior on herself, although it's the cause of Nell acting like that because I'm so down.

"I'm sorry."

I can't pay any more attention to Nell, who gives me a sad look all the time with tears from those big blue eyes. If I make her cry here, this time I feel like Nero will kill me.

"But I... really want to help Krono-kun..."

"Thank you, but that puts me in danger even to my brother..."

"I don't care about your brother!

Surprised at Nell's reaction to the absurdity of his voice. But what is more surprising is that I was suddenly approached with the momentum of holding onto me.

I can smell her like a fluffy flower.

"I don't care about your brother... I just wanted to help Krono-kun"

Moisturized uppercut. Her blue gaze as she looks up shoots straight through me.

It's the same way that after the game with Sayid, I'm left alone in the infirmary that makes me thrilled by that too much seriousness and admiration.

I manage to return the word while trying not to be weirdly conscious.

"After all, I don't trust you that much?

"Because Chrono-kun is always just impotent. Even at the gladiatorial tournament, this time... I've always been anxious..."

"... sorry"

Truly open to my pity.

I have the absolute purpose of overcoming the trials and defeating the Apostle. But the danger makes someone so worried about me that they forget me.

So we need more power. As much as Nell is my brother, I need to be strong enough to try and reassure me.

"Yeah, that's okay. Chrono-kun has a reason to be strong, right? I'm not going to stop it."

Nell hasn't touched me. You don't have to read it telepathically, but I can't seem to think of anything.

Think of it, it's been a shallow day since I started getting along with her, but I feel like they already know a lot about me.

Do I understand her just as much as Nell understands me?

"So I will continue to help you, Chrono-kun."

That's why I get anxious. Wherever I go, I wonder if I'm just sweet on Nell.

"I will try to heal any injury. Now it's time to prevent the braces, and we'll be able to support them with more and more enhancements."

Still, Nell tells me she's the one who's gonna help me, naturally. Not in law or duty, but from the bottom of my heart, as I believe that is what I should be made of.

"That's why I'm Krono-kun's..."

At that time, a gust of wind blew over the walls.

Me and Nell have big black hair on the wind pressure that's stronger than I thought. I shake my head gently and pay for the hair that hangs around my face.

Due to the interruption of Nell's dialogue in strange places, somehow, the atmosphere can't be said to continue immediately. I accidentally deflect my gaze outside the walls of the castle.

"... hmm?

That's when the shadows coming from across the green hill caught my eye. There are three of them, rides on horses.

"Hey, Nell, that 's--"

I tried to say if the Knights or Adventurers had come, but the continued inquiry was swallowed up intact.

"Oh, that's a Wing Road member and... er, the other one's a stranger"

In my well visible eyes, I see the red-haired twin-tailed girl tangled in her tentacles in the dining room, the third princess of Sparda, Will's sister Charlotte.

She was riding with a girl with glasses in purple hair and an eight-legged horse. I guess the eyeglasses holding the reins are more the children of that Hydra family, named Saphir.

Right next to it, a boy walks with a big sword in his blonde hair across a bicorn. Is he a swordsman named Kai?

I've never seen these two before, but to the rumored look, I'm pretty sure because Nell himself is a member.

"No, that's not the other one, there's two of them"

"Oh, if you look closely, there's definitely another little kid... eh, is that a feather, is that it?

One girl and one toddler across a black horse boasting a magnificent giant body. I can't be the only one who sees that.

"Oh, those are fairy feathers. Nell, I'll show you later, they're the members of my party Element Master."

"... Huh?

Nell with a rounded eye and a look surprised by the yaki. Sure, you'd be surprised what that means if you showed up with the Wing Road members at this time.

But now, I want to see Lily and Fiona sooner, oh, sooner, than I slowly explain the conjecture mix.

"Well, then, Nell, I'll go see the two of you first."

"Oh, uh, Chrono-kun!? Wait, Chrono, whoa!

Nell's shout-out of amazement reached my ear as it jumped down the wall. Sorry to surprise you, but I have sheep, so it's okay to jump off the high ground!

After the bragging explanation, I ran to Lily and Fiona, the party members who would be reunited for a long time, to the best of my ability.
