Kuro no Maou

Episode 406: Lily Vs Nell

Lily and Nell, two feathers and wings, came together as a corner of the garden on the grounds of the seminary at the northern edge.

The vast landscaped gardens, built by hobbies by the previous presidents of the Board, are now just a little lonely and sparse in the care of trees and plants. Since the current president, Sophia Sirius Percifal, took office, the result has been a reduction in maintenance costs to a minimum, to the extent that they do not dungeon. For the maintenance of a large and beautiful garden, gold-eating bugs cost enormous amounts of gold. Nor can it be commensurate with the vague purpose of students' emotional education.

Half abandoned in such a school, the garden is a great place to tell stories that people don't want to hear. Once, in front of a fountain that would have been surrounded by magnificent rose flower beds, the two stopped on their feet.

I can't feel any other signs of people. Only the little water sound played by the fountain sounds cool.

"Mr. Lily, what is the story?

After a while, it was Nell who opened his mouth first. I couldn't stand the silence. I am ready to declare war, to begin the conversation.

"Thanks, I'll thank you first."

Lily said with an innocent soft smile on her young beauty.

"Thanks to you, Chrono was remembered for his modern magic (model). Your teaching has been very helpful, and I really, really appreciate it."

Even if you don't tell me, I know. Chrono was able to defeat that greedgore because he taught "Forth Boost." I can't forget the emotion I saw in front of you with that ambition.

Nell hasn't had a chance to see Chrono fight since then, but I can be sure that the newly taught "Defense Enhancement (Protec Boost)" and "Concentration Enhancement (Conces Boost)" are equally helpful. I hear both the Rich Crusade and the Last Rose Crusade were fierce fights. I would have had the opportunity to be active.

"That's what I did for Chrono-kun, so there's nothing like being thanked"

"Oh, and thanks for the always delicious tea and treats"

"No, it's a natural courtesy."

To Lily, who smiles, Nell also returns it with a beautiful royal smile. But she and I both know she's just wearing the same smile mask.

Because this evil fairy can't just call herself in to express an honest apology.

"But hehe, I want you to stop."

Finally, here we are. This is the core of the story. Lily's smile seeps in a slightly worse color.

"... what are you talking about?

Is that the only thing that frightens me? Lily's move to get rid of herself is so predictable.

"I don't need any more magic classes in Chrono. Don't ever visit our dorm again."

"Really? For once, I'll ask you why."

"Because it's annoying"

In a moment, the grin disappeared from the look on their faces. Little Lily looking up at herself with her inorganic face and eyes like a doll. I can feel myself looking down at her with a frozen look as well.

Cui and Ethereal's cold gaze intersect. The Asbel Mountains are surrounded by cold air in the middle of winter, but the illusion is like a scorching spark between the two of them.

"I refuse. Krono-kun needs me."

"I said it was annoying."

"That's you, Mr. Lily, isn't it?

"I hope you're not mistaken."

It was Lily who missed the intertwined gaze. Ha, and a sigh that doesn't look like a child, then flip gently as you flip through the hem of a kurli and black piece. The back and the rainbow feathers that grow from it appear in front of you. Lily's expression is invisible.

"You are royal, and Chrono is just an adventurer. I want you to understand the difference in identity."

"While in seminary (here), the difference in identity is trivial."

Now Chrono is cordial with Wilhardt, the second prince of Sparda, but no one is blaming him for it.

Although Wilhardt's popularity as a prince is low, because it can't be discouraged, contact should be restricted without exception if he truly disciplines identity differences. A long time ago, like Avalon.

"If things still seem to go wrong, I'll take care of it"

"Do you know that your SS or some joke named you set up a dueling lynching on Chrono?

"I won't let them do it again. If Krono-kun wants, he'll execute the mastermind."

Nell kept Helen under strict care because he heard about the incident later from Chrono himself. Don't overreact to me saying that Chrono is an execution, because I said, the SS leader can still live. Although, as for Chrono, Nell said, "I will execute him and apologize", thinking he was joking, and laughing bitterly.

"I can't believe it, so I'm telling you to stay away from me."

"Krono-kun believes in me. So I'm not going to leave you because of the end of it."

"Chrono is sweet, so I just don't tell him to disappear, even if it's annoying. I don't care about the grubby fish in SS, but your brother and the members of Wing Road are troublesome when they get involved because it's not so easy."

Besides, "Element Master" and "Wing Road" are now rivalries, Lily adds. I'm not going to get used to it, he says otherwise.

"Still, I'm Krono-kun's friend. If that's what he calls me, I'm not a princess of Avalon or a member of Wing Road, and as one friend, I'm going out with Krono-kun."

Words like a half-open, but Krono himself wants it to be, Nell knows. To the extent that I can understand that Chrono is such a man, I'm already dating him.

"Friends,"

Lily twinkles like she's sick and tired of keeping her little back pointed. Sounds like a solitaire, but it just seems sarcastic more than it has thus reached Nell's ear.

Nell is just a friend, and Lily is a partner. That decisive difference broke my heart once upon a time.

(Not yet, you can stay your friend. Soon I'll be next to Krono-kun on your behalf -)

It was as if it were the heart of a rebel who aimed to seize the throne. Indeed, the firmness of determination would be comparable to that of a rebel with ambitions.

Now Nell is not weak enough to flip his feelings to the extent that he has been told this degree of dislike. This is how I am able to respond to Lily's pressure.

(Chrono-kun, me, I can't lose!

But the moment Lily and I looked back again, a chill ran on Nell's spine.

"If you're going to say so much, I can't help it... if you're going to pull yourself off so hard, thank you so much for what you've done, and I could say a beautiful goodbye to you."

That smile, too evil. Emerald Green's eyes glitch violently, and his mouth corners hang just when the dark pleasures of falling into people cannot be suppressed.

Nell, as one of the royalty, and also as a Rank 5 adventurer, has seen something quite bad called a man. From gangsters in slum streets to cunning bad merchants, two-hearted rapists, and murderers mad at curses at the end.

Murder, hostility, deception, ridicule - among all the malicious faces, the grin she now has in front of her was the most amazing.

"Wow, I'm friends with Chrono-kun, no matter what you say - come on!

A sharp light blocked Nell's dialogue. The usual flash that makes me bathe every time I meet Lily - no, it's not such a brilliant glow. The glistening magic, the brilliant white light, all draw a line with the previous flash.

I didn't know you were going to be exercising your powers here.

To fight back, I immediately noticed the arrowhead trying to take the 'White Winged Balance' out of the magic formation of open space magic (Dimension) at hand.

The attack is not flying. And in the next moment, the dazzling glow also subsided.

"... Huh!?

Before the nell with the lid open, there was no familiar little figure.

Instead, one beautiful girl stands to be seen for the first time, to be hailed as extinct.

"Was this the first time you've seen this? Don't be so surprised, because this is just what I really am."

The black piece woven in the Enchantville Road is a well seen outfit alongside the seminary uniform even as a child, but it is only by becoming a girl named True that she appears to be demonstrating the true value of its charm. When she is Lily, she is such a beauty that she falls in love, even if she knows so, when she is a hate competitor to herself.

"... Really? So, what do you want me to do with that?

Immediately Nell retightens his mind and turns to the girl Lily with the same vigilance as when facing a high-ranking monster. In fact, Lily now feels signs of intense magic in an enormous way that is incomparable with her childhood. Perhaps if it were a one-on-one battle, I would have no better chance of beating myself a healer (Priest).

But enough to prevent an attack and take this place off. If you're just a girl who can only recover or is weak, the Rank 5 Adventurer can't be named.

"Don't be so alarmed. I told you, I asked you out to talk to me. I'm not giving you a finger."

Light as a leading dancer, Lily takes a step forward and packs her distance from Nell.

"But just be prepared to listen, right? I'm going to have to say something terrible to you."

"Hey, what is it..."

Though barely pressured by Lily's spectacular grin, Nell glances back without distracting himself. Even that attitude of mine seemed like a mockery of "you're scared I can't do it".

"Never again, stay away from Chrono, for a reason -"

Gokuri, and swallow spit.

Whatever they say, I can't shake it. 'Cause I don't have any downfall. It's helping him, he wants it. Whatever happens, I'm not leaving Chrono.

"Because it's disgusting. The kind of woman who would love to lick a crono spoon around."

"... Huh?

At that time, suddenly, a ground crack broke at his feet, falling head-on to the bottom of the dark Nara as it were - an illusion that Nell felt.

From the face, from the whole body, instantly the blood draws. In fact, it feels like you've lost blood, and your temperature is dropping, too. Your knees are chuckling as you lose so much power from your feet that you're about to collapse on the spot. My body trembles.

"Hey, Chrono's spoon, was it that good?

From the bottom of my heart, from the depths of my soul, cloudy emerald eyes that dwell on feelings of contempt, stare straight at me.

"Chrono's spoon was so... nice?

Behind Nell's brain, the memory of 'That Night' comes back to life vividly.
