Kuro no Maou

Episode 366: The Gentile's Secret

"What the hell is this..."

The journal of the Earl of the Red Wing, what was written there is too shocking content.

Count Red Wing, again, the name of a lover that a man named Yoshiichi Akaba has left behind in his far away hometown (Nihon).

Masuna Kurono.

Why does my sister's name come up here? Oh, shit, I don't know what...

"Mr. Chrono, what is it?

In Fiona's inquiry, which is seated right next door, the consciousness that was imprisoned by the thought of grandeur returns much to reality.

"You look amazed."

"Oh, hey, no, you mean it was pretty shocking content... I'll explain it in turn for now"

Yes, calm down. Let's just calm down and sort things out.

"This diary says the story of when the Count was in the same country as me, Japan, the original world."

Until then, Fiona would have been able to predict it from the start. Nod and show cockles.

"According to this, apparently, the Count lived in the same time as me, and, moreover, in the same town. But most surprisingly, the Count's lover at the time was my sister."

"Sister, is it?

Speaking of which, how far would you have told Fiona about my family?

Perhaps the first time you revealed to Fiona that I was Gentile. Then, while preparing for interception in the village of Alsace, and even recently, when I started living in a dorm in Sparda, I touched the fold and talked about Japan.

"That Mr. Chrono lived with your parents and sister, that he was a student, that he was summoned suddenly to this world without any foretaste. I hear all about it, but not in much detail."

For now, that's all I need to know now.

"The Count was summoned to this world on the same day as me."

"He must have died fifty years ago, right? Assuming you were summoned here a hundred years ago, there's a big time lag with Mr. Chrono."

This is the first mystery.

There's no doubt that me and the Count, or high school student Mahogany Kurono and college student Yoshiichi Akaba, were both summoned to another world on the same day with unexplained headaches.

I remember until the exact date, but this diary said Monday the 14th of May with clarity.

Indeed, it was just during the rainy season and it was raining that day as well. It is recalled that the little Shirazaki had a slightly larger blue tannic umbrella and exchanged awkward atmospheric greetings in front of the crosswalk.

"My mother mistook the lunch my sister made for her boyfriend, the Earl, that day. During my school lunch break, I ate a handmade lunch box of Hartmark's depicted embarrassing sister, which my friend teared up, and the diary says the Count ate a lunch box that was supposed to be given to her brother, or me."

"Well, it doesn't seem like it's just a mistake."

What happened that day is accurately linked. If there was a discrepancy, the only time I was hit by a headache was after school when the Count was supposed to have lunch breaks after visiting the Literature and Arts department, a few hours of error.

"Apparently, there's not exactly the same amount of time going on here and there."

If this other world and Earth correspond in the same timeline, then Yoichi Akaba must have been summoned to this other world a few hours before me. If that were to happen, it would not have even reached the status of Count yet. It's been a year since I've been in this world.

"How many decades of difference does the other hour make over here, or is it random"

"You don't know that unless you take accurate statistics, do you? There are no other Gentile athletes."

Only the Earl of the Red Wing I've heard from Will knows about the Gentiles. If Gentiles exist besides me...... damn, it's a bad story about chest feces, but only experimental subjects that mask groups like 'The White Trail' would still be summoning.

But now I wonder if they were also modern Japanese living in the same twenty-first century as me.

If a person chosen for a different world summons is completely random, the boys and girls in the experiment I've seen are the same Japanese, while the time of birth may be a completely different person.

No, wait, in the first place, how could there have only been Japanese?

"Hey Fiona, dark-haired brunettes are famous for their Gentile traits, right?

"Yes, it was in the Sinclair Republic. I haven't looked that far into it, but it seems to be the same with Sparda."

When it comes to random choices in the true sense, as far as the times are concerned, race should also be different. No, it's not Earth. I wonder if it's possible to bring in another otherworlder.

I can make any guesses. But in reality, all of the Gentiles are Japanese, and the two of them summon from the same place, at the same time. I can't be sure yet, it could really just be a coincidence, but still, I can't help but think like this.

"Was the town I lived in special that day?

This is the second mystery. Why are the conditions of time and place so far overlapping?

"Is it observed that only Mr. Chrono's home town has a thin dimensional separation from the other world?

But if they ask me again like that, I can't even affirm it immediately.

"No, I've told you before, there was no magic itself in the world where I was. It has not been observed or proven that there is a completely different world beyond the walls of the dimension, it was merely a dream story."

Yes, if it's common sense on the planet, my whole situation is impossible. Whatever it is, there is no way to prove it, even if that town had all the special conditions that would have a significant impact on the phenomenon of the other world summons that day. Also, in fact, the same thing, even if magic existed on Earth and a secret sorcerer's organization was in the dark.

None of this is just a hypothesis.

"Mr. Krono, the mechanism by which Gentiles are summoned has not been elucidated in the Republic or in Sparda, and I can't help thinking about it any more."

"That's... well, maybe you're right"

You can't be stuck with a fact like this and not care.

Above all, it brings up behind my brain the family I've left behind in the original world, which I've avoided remembering.

Especially if it's your sister, you'll have lost your brother and boyfriend the same day. The sad thing about it - oh, the more painfully I know how the Earl feels about keeping a diary.

He's as faceless as a doll, but he was always sweet, that sister you might be crying. With that in mind, I won't be able to stay or not.

"Even though I know I can't do anything right now, I can't help remembering -"

The sadness and grief that gushed from the back of his chest was stopped when he tried to overflow with words.

"Still, don't think about it. Forget it, don't be hard."

Unexpectedly, Fiona gave herself to me. The imminent golden eyes are looking up from around my chest.

The glimpse of the ocean should have been completely familiar, but now it feels overflowing with a certain mysterious charm. It's exciting. Then, to the back of my hand I put it on the table, it was even more exciting to realize that her white, soft palms were also naturally overlaid. I'm already thrilled.

"This is how Mr. Chrono is with me now. Isn't that enough?

I thought my heartbeat would stop.

Just pure, glad. to the fact that the existence of myself was accepted.

Where did I come from? It doesn't matter what reason and on what principle you showed up.

Memories, trust that have accumulated from that day we met in the streets leading up to the village of Iles to this day. That's indisputably the most important thing I've ever gotten in this other world.

I know that, even if they don't tell me. I know, but, but - when they say it face to face like this, it's uninterruptedly embarrassing. I'm too happy and embarrassed. The thought was right, reconfirmation.

"Oh, yeah"

Affirmative. Totally, Fiona's right. There's no way you can deny it.

And thanks to her words, the shaking anxiety was cured.

"If so..."

Fiona's strong gaze like a strong appeal. The dialogue that follows, I won't let you say it. No, let me tell you something.

I'm not leaving.

A little bit of a surprise. All of a sudden, what are you talking about, not, how did you know, your face. Fiona, you thought I was that dull.

Now I'm the well-known Rank 5 Adventurer in Sparda, but if it's former, Gentile. Not the inhabitants of this world, the leftovers, the very existence is irregular.

I myself am so familiar with this other world that I forget it from time to time. From Fiona's point of view, if not at this time, it's a story that I don't recall.

So, uh, I think I got anxious.

"I'm not going back to Japan, I can't go back... No, I can't go home yet, even if I had a way of analogy"

Trouble, if you are presented with a way back in front of you, you will have troubles.

I'm sorry, sister. Still, I must make a decision not to go home.

"... Mr. Chrono"

"Chrono-ooh! No, you can't go home. I'm with Lily all the time!!

"Oh, Lily...... okay, I'm not leaving, so it's okay - huh, Lily?

I noticed that I was stroking the little lily on my lap to give up... well, what the hell is wrong with this? Until now, I must have been alone with Fiona.

Lily, where the hell did you come from?

"Oh, Chrono, I'm home."

A gleeful greeting home, lying on your back like a kitten on your lap with Goron.

"Oh, oh, welcome back?

It doesn't fall anywhere. But Fiona with the expression that I'm not more convinced than that. Of course, the face is the usual sleepy poker face, but somehow, something like this, a grumpy aura.

"Mr. Lily...... welcome back"

Together, Fiona takes Lily away from my lap for a moment. Now keep it that way, let it sit on your lap, in a position that holds Lily from behind.

Um, looking at this schematic, I guess I'm like sisters.

"Mr. Lily, a little slower, please take your time, you could have been shopping."

Fiona then started rubbing Lily's small, round punipuni cheeks and rubbing them.

"Hey, Fiona. Hey!

Lily, a young girl who doesn't want to get away with it, but Fiona, a witch who won't let her escape with a skillful hold.

Speaking of which, I don't think we've gotten along since these two returned from training at Avalon. What a smile to watch. Being close, I guess, is beautiful.

"By the way, what did Lily buy you?

Fiona's temper had healed for a moment, and I asked her for nothing. With a change of mood.

Lily gives a cheeky answer just saying she was waiting for that question, rubbing her cheeks a little red, ravaged by the witch's demon hands.

"Bed!"

"... bed?

"I see, is it a bed? You do need that."

Um, I'm the one who raises the question when buying a bed. Am I crazy? It makes an atmosphere like this. Lily looks like she's waiting for my compliment with a "I bought it" style doya face, and Fiona is very convinced of something. I said a good dialogue.

No, wait, I'm a man who won't let the atmosphere flow, he won't let it flow.

"Why all of a sudden, you bought a bed?

"Hmm? Um, uh,"

From Lily's point of view, I guess I got an unexpected question back. Yeah, troubled, but the reason I could tell from that little mouth.

"I wanted a new bed!

"Well, then you have no choice!

Totally, if that's the case, you could have bought it for me. Yes, now I'm in the fight money for the Curse Gladiator Games (Cars Carnival), plus the reward for achieving the emergency quest for rescuing the ancient castle of Ischia, and a bit of a small gold mochi state.

If Lily rarely says "I want it" Wagamama, I definitely wanted to take this opportunity to do it.

"So, what kind of one did you buy?

"It's so big!

"Oh, that's good. The bed I had in my room from the beginning was a little small."

It is now that I can say, a slight dissatisfaction. In a bed a little narrower than my average size for a big body, I was also worried that I would crush the lily I slept with into a slap that hit me back.

"Look, look, Chrono! This is the new bed! Yes, that's right!

As Lily jumps off Fiona's knees, she reveals herself and slaps her hands small. I thought you might summon your new bed with the Spatial Magic of Light (Dimension) as it were.

"Hey, what the fuck is that? Ha!?

At the next moment, I got up with enough momentum for the chair to fall, and instantly took the stand.

Because all of a sudden, the lounge door opened and a giant man in a pitch-black surcoat broke in.

The soles of the stiff boots lean against the floor of a worn tree. Every time you move, from the inside of the black costume, a metal noise called jalajara rings. The layering of chainmails on the surcoat is reminiscent of crusader soldiers.

But the most eye-catching thing about it is its face. A smile that looks deep in the hood of a surcoat. It's never a face, it's a smile made of steel masks.

Round point eyes, mouth drawing curves on the U-shape. Again, it's reminiscent of that famous smile mark. Although I've never seen such a fancy item as the Smilemark Iron Mask in Japan, which is too boneless.

And at the next moment, the unusual smiling masked man swings his arms up vigorously covered in steel gauntlets.

He doesn't seem to have a weapon, but he's willing to fight! Yeah, I don't know what it is, but it's a must-win here.

I'm going to make you regret the fact that you raided the home of this Rank 5 Adventurer Party, Element Master. Eat it, Pilba.

"Is this the new bed? That's pretty good."

"Nah! He's such a shark!

The yellow voice of a fairy and a witch sounded as I waved up my fist, letting war and magic be seen all by myself.

The man with the smile mask shook his hands up all the time, "O-ray, O-ray," and with it appeared a pair with a large bed.

Naturally, those two also have a smiley mark iron mask on their black surcoat. Exactly the same figure, or almost the same height and physique, so much so that when the three of them are replaced, they can't tell at all.

I mean, what is it really? The guys are... I'm the only one who's questioning it, and only the size is there. Fiona is impressed and Lily shakes before the new bed that was just dropped off in the lounge.

The suspicious masked threesome stands silently in the corner of the room just saying the role is over. I don't wander around.

"Look, Chrono, look! Look at the new bed! Yikes!"

On a mat that seems to show tremendous flexibility and elasticity, Lily asks me for my thoughts as she jumps with Byrne Byrne.

Bad for Lily, who sparkles her eyes and waits for a colorful reply, but not in a psychological state where I can talk very calmly about the softness of the bed right now.

Please, tell me what those threesomes are first!

"... Mr. Chrono"

That's when Fiona subtly called me in.

Oh, Fiona, you've guessed my doubts, thank you. I'm sorry I said it was natural before. Fiona can read the air properly.

"This bed is amazing. It's the famous water-slime bed that the royal family loves."

I knew Fiona was Fiona. I'm sorry, it was my fault I over-expected you.

"By the way, Mr. Lily, can I treat you already? It's unholy to have three of them lined up."

"Yes."

As I predicted when I was desperate, the existence of a mysterious threesome was finally mentioned.

Actually, it was so brilliant through that I was the only one who saw it, but you still mean Lily and Fiona didn't react at all because they were already known.

"Aye, twat, twat, biebay!

Bye bye and wave your hands toward the three of you as you say, as Lily, who rose benevolently on the bed, cast a mysterious spell.

In response, the threesomes also shake their boneless gauntlet-equipped arms. The exaggerated motion looks comical at first glance, but remains silent.

Creepy men everywhere, but the appearance of a magic formation of light familiar over their heads only made the situation a little understandable.

It's Lily's Space Magic (Dimension). I'm not going to take anything out of this.

Words and movements to bid farewell. Yes, ‘store’ those three in the light.

"Is this... the art of repatriation?"

"Yes, you are, Mr. Chrono. This is the Living Corpse (Living Dead) that Lily won after a tough training session."

In other words, I (Simobe) was created by necromancy.

I understood with a real sense that it was instant, because earlier, Saphir must have shown it to me.

That silver undead knight became a purple smoke and disappeared into the repatriation formation, but the threesome now in front of him disappeared into a divine particle of light.

As if it was a lie that there were three big men with black gear, there's no trace of them there.

But, Fiona, I wanted that explanation first.

"Still, it sounds more like you're manipulating a really alive guy than a corpse. There are no signs specific to the undead, and more importantly, I feel alive"

"Because it's specially made with an artificial human (homunculus) base, and Mr. Lily's necromancy seems to be unusual original magic (original)."

Artificial humans (homunculus) were described lightly in the "Dungeon Exploration II" class I had taken before. They say it's not so uncommon for artificially created human life forms by ancient magic to be discovered in a relic system dungeon.

Most of them are dead and mummified or turned into undead monsters, but they sometimes resurrect very rarely.

So you're saying that those three bodies are made of special corpses, by special surgical ceremonies? Normally, I doubt it, but that lily would convince me honestly.

Now, I just want to ask for a detailed explanation of such an awesome Lily's necropsy (necromancy) right now...

"Mm-hmm. Gobble with Chrono!

"If you're this big, I can sleep with you, too, right?"

"No - no Fiona!

"Isn't it good, isn't it good -"

"Yikes!"

If you notice, Fiona is also diving into bed and gobbling with Lily. Goddamn it, I'm gobbling with you...

In the meantime, let's try to indulge in the comfort of a new bed now. Let's do that.
