Kuro no Maou

"... Lily"

I hear voices. A voice calling my name.

Who - I don't have to think about it. The voice of a low man that reaches his ears belongs, more than anyone, more than anything, to the one I love.

At the moment I thought, my consciousness awakened. Patchy, eyelids open to be bounced.

"... n"

It's a little dazzling. But my eyes get used to it soon.

And what my eyes reflected was also something I could see well. His appearance in front, and this place where I am now.

Nothing strange, the sight in your eyes is there and deserves it. Even so, I feel faint discomfort.

"That... Chrono, how could you..."

Chrono, if you seriously observe what he looks like, there's still nothing strange about him. Black hair. Both black eyes are a testament to the Gentiles. Bringing it together in its lengths is The Devil's Embrace (Bafomet Embrace), a pitch-black robe that is a trademark as a black wizard.

"Here... are you there?

This is, yes, my house. A hut built secluded in the Fairy Forest (Fairy Garden), where he spent more than thirty years after being expelled from the Fountain of Light.

Chrono was standing in front of a table in the middle of the room, and I was sitting on the bed in the corner.

"Sleeping down? Shouldn't I have woken you?

"... yeah, I'm fine"

I don't feel the discomfort I was forced to have. Just sleeping. I don't mind being knocked up in the middle of the night if it's Chrono. Any minor reason, huh?

"You don't have to, I just want to say, I just need you to hang out with me today."

I thought Chrono had stepped this way with that said, and I was lifted. It seems to weigh no different for Chrono if it's what a child looks like or if it's as true as it is now.

By his successful arms, my body dances lightly through the universe.

"Hih!?

If you notice, in Chrono's chest. Princess hugging posture. There was an unexpected strange voice in such a sudden and sudden approach. I'm embarrassed, but... my face is about to get nasty with joy. Cheeks are hot, too.

"Whatever, I'll carry you to the village like this, so you can still sleep, okay?

I can't guarantee a ride, but what a crono with a devil's smile. If it's a child's consciousness, it's still back to vegetables. If they seduce me like that now, I'll lose my sanity.

"Hey, really...... it's okay, so"

My voice is up. I'm definitely blushing right now. So much so that even a dull chrono would know.

"But you're not coming down."

"Chrono won't let me down."

"Are you sure you want me to drop you off?

"... no"

Oh man, with a gentle bitter smile like that, Chrono starts walking with me in his arms. Oh, how happy I am - but I also think this in a corner of my head. He wants more, more.

"But I'll drop you off in front of the village. Tomorrow would be a good time to show off our company."

Why tomorrow? Before the question came out of his mouth as to what was there, Krono told him the answer.

"Tomorrow is our wedding."

"... Huh?

Just a year ago now, the 4th of the month of the green wind.

It was a big crate that fell out of the sky shortly after the freakin 'roar of the bird Garuda echoed in the woods. The box, which slipped down as it rolled down the cliff, smashed into pieces when it hit the ground and threw out one man, along with a bright red apple stuck inside.

My kid, I'm a childish head, and wake him up in the rough way of smashing about a glass of water made of magic into his face. Even so, I was going to give you a proper hug, be a child.

Anyway, that's how I met.

"My name is the Black Demon King, what about you?

Black Demon King - with a man named 'Chrono Mao' to be exact, though that's all I could hear.

I somehow called it Chrono, and I had no particular deep thoughts. Anyway, when I realized it, the kid I was familiar with called "Chrono".

I understood that it was divided into last name and first name when I had my first full moon evening. But by then, for me, Chrono's name was Chrono, and he also passed it through in the village as' Chrono '.

Demon King, the only person who knows the real name 'Mao' that has the same sound as him is the one who knows the secrets he has revealed to me. Yes, I'm the only one left. From now on, forever.

Chrono trusts me. I trust Chrono too. And I love Chrono. He loved me too.

So tomorrow, just a year after we meet, me and Chrono are getting married.

The ceremony was, of course, spent the past year idly, peacefully, gently and warmly, in the village of Iles.

"Ooh, good morning, Mr. Lily to Mr. Chrono! He'll show it to me in the morning. Hey!

Watching us walk hand in hand, Wertz, the most visible goblin farmer, stands up when we go to the village.

I'm kind of embarrassed, and I shake Chrono's hand back so hard. But I'm happy, my mouth is going to stink and distort.

"I'll show you more tomorrow and put it on, won't I, Lily?

"... yeah"

So, I guess I looked sloppy in love.

"Morning, ah... I'm totally putting this up again in the morning, Lily."

Still guarding the main entrance to Iles today, the vigilante leader Grint. I'm supposed to be oblivious to Lizardman's expression changes of the human-faced species, but still, it's quite something to be pointed out.

In fact, I can already understand that I myself have blushed and niggered and all the other emotions that have become chaos of happiness on my face. You don't know what you're doing, you simply can't stop it.

"Good morning, Chronosa! Hey, it's still criminal to see Mr. Chrono walking out of Mr. Lily's hand!

Let's get to work, Nyareko.

Coming all the way to the Adventurer's Guild, the opening is the best, Nyaleko tapping lightly as usual. At first I had a covert dissatisfaction with this cat and daughter familiar with Chrono, but now I don't care at all. Because I'm Chrono's best. Because they love you more than any other woman can compare.

"Hey, Chrono"

Nino, you're back.

From the liquor table I thought I was having breakfast, the face of Iles Blader, the only exclusive party in the village of Iles, walks over to the head of leader Nino.

"Whoa, I managed to come home last night. What do you say, you made it to the ceremony?

"Thanks, the reward plays"

"Hehe, I hope!

For tomorrow's wedding, I am deliberately calling the priest of the Pandora Temple from the capital, Daedalus. They have undertaken an escort quest to bring the priest safely to the village.

Until a year ago, we thought it was still an unreliable young party, but since we had a rival named Chrono, we have incited each other and are now fine rank three adventurers.

Me and Chrono are rank two, by the way. If you care about that, even the salamanders in the Galahad Mountains can randomly capture and run up to Rank 5 at once, but they don't want to be anything strong, they don't want to be famous. Just relax and enjoy the adventurer's life.

"But from now on, I wonder if that means conjugal life... Hmm!

Shame on you - and just stroke the fat cat round the corner of the lobby with a wasp. It's totally my custom to play with this kid who's been living in the guild since what time. Even when I was in a child's condition, I could always be who I really am, still am.

- Lily, I think the tool shop got your wedding dress. Let's go check it out.

"Yeah!"

Now put your arms together and leave to jump out of your guild.

When both open doors are unleashed, one black shadow appears in front of you. No, that's not a black shadow, it's just that you're wearing a black-black outfit all over your body.

What fits you together is a high-grade magic robe with feathers. The most distinctive feature is the large triangular hat worn on the head. Holding it in its hand is Ains Bloom, a favorite longscepter (staff)

"Good morning, Mr. Chrono, Mr. Lily"

"Morning, Fiona"

Turn to your usual sleepy-eyed friend and return a greeting.

"I just got back to the village."

"So now, are you really sleepy or something?

"Yeah, I'll stay asleep in the guild room. After breakfast."

"You really are, as always."

Half frightened, half impressed. This witch hasn't changed anything since we met. Even now that I've become a Rank 5 Adventurer.

"Speaking of which, I've been out on a quest for a while, so you're a little late to say -"

Even in the glorious spring sunshine, she felt dazzled by the lack of sleep, and did the trick of gently lowering the hat's wide cucumber with her left hand. I find it slightly uncomfortable that the silver ring is not fitted in the pharmacopoeia of that hand.

- Congratulations on your marriage.

However, words of heartfelt blessing are sent, and such discomfort is instantly misty.

She has a faint smile on her face. There is no back to that word. Telepathy communicated with nature also proves it.

In the first place, I wonder what I doubt about her. Fiona is my best friend.

So I only answer this with a full smile on my face.

"Thank you, Fiona"

When I realized, it was night.

In bed, Chrono and I. Ever since the day we met, we've slept together. That's in a literal sense.

But I'm not a child anymore. There is no going back to children.

When was it that I received the protection of Fairy Queen Iris? It is an indisputable fact that, although I do not remember it very well, it has thereby made reconciliation with the fairies of the Fountain of Light, who have always been true.

The wedding dress delivered to the tool store was made by them. Shiny pure white dress, hehe, tomorrow, I'm so excited to wear it.

"Hey Chrono... I'm happy"

"Oh, me too, Lily"

A large chrono palm gently strokes my cheek. It's warm, it's ticklish, it's going to swing.

It's not a dream, is it?

It's not a dream.

Kind of scary happy, full of it.

"Everyone, no, the world is blessing us. Keep living with me, peacefully, peacefully."

"Yeah...... yeah, me, if I could stay with Chrono all the time, I'd be happy"

Me too, Chrono holds my body, answering. I'll hold him back, too, big his body.

"Tomorrow is early, shall we go to bed?"

"Yeah."

"Good night, Lily"

Surrounded by happiness and warmth, I leave my consciousness in peace as it is.

"Good night... Chrono..."

Oh, may these happy days last forever...
