Kuro no Maou

The gymnasium is so large and tall that it has a magnificent decoration, as if it were a combination of luxury and craftsmanship in the world, as opposed to a killing landscape.

If you look to the right, you will see a statue of an ancient hero and a brave warrior, and if you look to the left, you will see a statue of a noble goddess of war that combines beauty and success. Standing statues, what a statue of a crystal, not a stone statue, among them, a statue of a warrior equipped with a great sword on his cape and a statue of a knight with full body armor on his long spear - oh, yes, these two look the same as they are installed at the main entrance of the Royal Sparda Seminary. I'm sure he's a particularly famous hero in Sparda. I still don't know my name or origin.

The whole un tens of millions of clans would be crap. Decorating huge walls with crystal statues is a bright crimson fabric in the eyes, with a sword and crown crest embroidered with brilliant golden thread. A simple design, but also a sparda flag with a harsh atmosphere if flown.

Finally, spreading at my feet is the same bright red fabric carpet as the flag. A red carpet that continues as elongated as a single road, ahead is a giant seat colored with crimson red and gold.

Namely, the throne.

Yes, where I am now, between the thrones of Sparda Royal Castle.

"Adventurer Chrono, Previous"

"Yes."

Abou, I'm a little nervous right now and I almost got my reply up. Heart bug, cold sweat softly conveys the neck muscle. Still managed to maintain the poker face.

Well, it also means you can simply stay strong and faceless. It was similar at the parade.

Therefore, a minister named Nantka called Sparta called me to walk before me, that is, under the king who is to be sent to the throne ahead.

I feel nervous and I can't help but notice Lily and Fiona in the back. At last, I will endure the sight and sight of the great knights and civilians standing in front of the crystal statue.

Relax, at times like this, look straight ahead and pierce the body of "I'm serious".

I didn't know the fruits of my practice with Mia would be demonstrated here.

Oh, yeah, this place isn't just about the place. It is a ceremony being performed between these thrones.

Speaking of ceremonies to celebrate, well, there will only be one.

"Adventurer Krono, what is your role in Ischia?"

And, long and roundabout, the contents are now being praised for my medals in the ancient castle of Ischia, as Minister Nantka has said of the diluted congratulations.

I thought this was all great enough for me to be proud of myself, but I didn't expect such a massive ceremony to take place after being called to the royal castle.

Today is the 6th of the month of the Ethereal Moon. On the day after returning to Sparta and taking a full day off, a ceremony was to be held to award medals to those who made great strides in the battle in Ischia.

By the way, I asked Will, who came to the dorm yesterday evening with his usual high laughter.

I thought anything would be too hasty, but it's not how I can do it in my first place, nor is it a light event enough to make it look like a hassle.

I mean, I don't have a formal suit or anything. For now, I'm in attendance in a seminary uniform. Well, it's true that you're a student, and you can't wear a ketch.

"Happy Chrono, the time has finally come for Sparda to acknowledge, no, the strength of the Black Nightmare Mad Warrior (Nightmare Berserker)! With the triumph of black warfare, which also freezes the spine, a new hero of darkness is now born - Chrono, you are the star of tomorrow."

Stop it, Will, that's how you pressure me. I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I can understand that they're still expecting a lot, that they're paying attention.

In the first place, I've never had the experience of being praised in a public place like this, naturally.

This is not a level where Koshien students are supported in front of the school to celebrate their appearance.

Giving a medal from His Majesty the King of Sparta means that the country was officially recognized for its achievements. Probably not exaggerating what Will said about the birth of a hero.

But understanding doesn't come with convincing so easily. Why should I, or should I? All that confusion ran around my head and I didn't get much sleep last night.

Whoa, you can't yawn at this time. Keep your mind tight, we need to focus.

"- From this, then, His Majesty King Leonhardt praises this battle and awards the Medal"

Oh, I want to finally come! That did not seem to be the case because the Minister said a strictly sole dialogue. Just purely because I got to the front of the king.

Leonhardt Tristan Sparda, the king who unites Sparda.

Its bright red hair and brilliant, golden eyes are certainly the same as Will's. But the appearance doesn't look alike at all.

I can see that my body, the same or bigger than mine, has been forged to the extreme, even from a luxurious red cape like a king. Wrist thickness peeking from hem for shoulder muscle lift.

It's not just the look, I can guess there's no gap at all just in that standing.

King Leonhardt would have been able to deal with it if I had stuck it in my hand. I mean, if I fought squarely, would I beat this guy...... what a salute, as a courtesy, as I was taught beforehand, I got to him within thinking about something like a battle freak.

Making a fist lightly with your right hand and putting it on your left chest is a sparda-style salute.

And then, uh, yes, would you wear plain clothes in a one-kneed position?

But even if you don't, you're going to bend your knees naturally. Not so long ago, King Leonhardt is releasing overwhelming signs. Um, with me now, I might still not win.

"Uhm, Adventurer Chrono, raise your face"

King Leonhardt, who rose from the throne, opened his mouth and my nervousness finally reached Max.

Leonhardt was interested in a man named Chrono. long before he was active in Ischia, is

The first to remember that name was a report submitted by the Adventurers Guild. Contents are about the emergency quest issued in Daedalus.

Emergency Quest/Refugee Escort

Compensation/TBD

Deadline/TBD

Client/Daedalus Adventurer Guild

Request details - The evacuation of all villagers to Sparda was decided. Since each village vigilante receives a substantial escort role on the road, Adventurers want you to keep your enemies as low as you can at the rear of the line and buy time for the villagers to evacuate. information about the enemy is unknown in any way, except that it is a legion of human beings, ever

No, it's a dangerous quest, but all the lives of the villagers are at stake for you, courageous adventurers.

And it was noted that the result ended in 'failure'.

The crusaders who fell into the capital, Daedalus, then began an outrageous occupation campaign to every village in the territory. Therefore, the fact that this emergency quest was issued in order to evacuate to Sparda was corroborated by the Intelligence Department.

The refugees to Sparda are, according to the dossier, a combined population of all the villages in western Daedalus, about 10,000. One hundred and three adventurers have ordered an emergency quest.

Among them, only fifty refugees and four adventurers arrived alive to Sparda in reality. failure, is such a great defeat that the word sounds mild.

But if we believe all the testimonies of the surviving adventurers in the report, even though they were wiped out, Krono would have led just one hundred and three adventurers and continued to evacuate more than ten times as many enemy troops a week.

Nor is it a castle that boasts a robust defense like the Fortress of Galahad, in a mere rural village called Alsace.

Is it possible to do that?

No, Leonhardt thinks so. I wondered if I could do the same with Chrono, who was only a Rank 1 adventurer at the time.

Instead of thinking too much, I decided not to care any more than that that that I had a crushing delusion because I was the one who was willing to fight. Chrono's name was also to be forgotten within it.

But Leonhardt will again hear the name Chrono.

From Wilhardt, one of his beloved sons, though a paranoid prince and disgraceful nickname go by in the world.

Unlike his brother Eisenhardt and sister Charlotte, he had heard that they were so unpopular in seminaries, that one day a letter sent told him about a friend as a benefactor of a newly made life and the imminent threat of the Crusaders.

Leonhardt knows that Wilhardt is less than capable of fighting, but more brainy than anyone in the family, including himself. Instead, it's incredible how smart kids can be born out of themselves who only know battle. I can't say very much to myself that I did it to my mother, well, it's not that different from me.

Anyway, it was quite a surprise that Wilhardt had a friend that he could forgive.

The perception of the signs of the Crusaders at the Fortress of Galahad, which we inspected shortly after the letter was received, leads us to the conviction that the activity of Krono was true, which will surprise us even more.

The bottom of a man's strength named Chrono is immeasurable, but the fact that he rescued Wilhardt from Larspun, a rank five monster, can at least be judged to have as much strength as he did twenty years ago.

It was' Wing Road 'that made it to reality, but it was Leonhardt who fought Larspun that I understood.

I'm not the sweetest person you can conveniently miss. If you show more power than Larspun for sure, you'll never escape, and you'll keep chasing him everywhere.

Chrono succeeded in leaving because he was strong enough to make Larspun aware of death. I can be sure of that from the story of cutting off my right arm, which is my biggest weapon. Regardless, the story also has no evidence other than Chrono's testimony, but Leonhardt decides that there is already no doubt.

So I didn't know there was a third time for a man named Chrono who was surprised twice - no, Leonhardt expected this to happen.

I didn't think a man with this much strength would ever be a Rank 3 adventurer, which is also spoiled by his student status going to seminary. Among them, I was sure that he and the adventurer party to which he belonged had the expectation, not the certainty, that they would let Sparda bomb its name.

Speaking of surprises, does that mean that time was too soon?

And Krono shall finally appear before King Spartan himself.

"Uhm, Adventurer Chrono, raise your face"

That's a good deal. That's the first impression.

Even in front of the king of a single nation, there is little color such as nervousness or agitation in his expression.

From that dark hair and only one red eye, to the point where I accidentally wonder if he's also the hidden son of King Avalon, my best friend. That being the case, it is also convincing to be able to persevere with this tattooed attitude as a result of a covert talent education.

Though I don't think I can escape the Ladies' eyes and make a woman out of the character of King Avalon.

"Activity in Ischia, it was truly brilliant"

Leonhardt's eyes show Chrono's red and black gaze pointing straight at him. From that sharp glance, I can't read any emotions. I'm not happy, I'm not floating.

Speaking of my strengths, are you saying that it was an extremely natural result? arrogance, rather than merely being aware of the facts.

Then a ceremony like this would be terribly boring. At least, I am. No, more like being forced to have extra patience than boredom.

Because if you put a man like this in front of you, you're gonna want to sign up for a duel right now. His signs are very similar to the white felt at Fortress Galahad.

No one on this scene can see it, but Leonhardt's eyes, yes, host to one of his own protections, the Good Enemy Sovereign (Rival Search), are clearly visible in these golden eyes - a black aura like darkness that covers Chrono's body.

What power does he have? Drive the immortal horse (Nightmare), manipulate the curse weapon, and unleash black magic. I've never seen or heard of combat styles before. And his lumpy aura of darkness is due to any divine blessing...... I definitely want to go along with it.

Keeping all that desire under control, Leonhardt uttered a strictly stereotypical sentence in order to just finish this boring ceremony.

"Praise the achievements of such a man and bestow a medal in the name of the fifty-second king of Sparda, Leonhardt Tristan Sparda -"
