Kuro no Maou

corner of the Fortress of Galahad. Behind a dim passage surrounded by hard stone walls, there was a figure of a single boy looking out through a small window, snowblowing.

"... Nell was already around Avalon"

Under the white mask that covers the eye area, the worrying eye is Nero on "Wing Road," under, "Alterface" Ex. Exactly is the plain black robe for apprentice magicians, but there are no gaps in its standing, and more importantly, just staring out the window makes you feel elegant somewhere.

Although sparda soldiers and adventurers, whose occasional streets take place, are unintentionally caught by his later appearance, their extraordinary atmosphere prevented anyone from speaking out solely on a whim or curiosity.

But that silence will be broken at the next moment.

"Ahhh! I finally found it! Make sure you decide where you want to meet!

Nero frowns slightly at the voice of a tall girl who sounds kinky on her head. Most importantly, the eyebrows are covered in masks and never caught her eye.

But I can't hide the tedious colors that mix with the voices out of my mouth.

"Don't yell so much, it sounds in this aisle"

"How much do you think I've been looking for, ooh!

It is a familiar childhood tame to see everywhere, with pricks and anger exposed, shaking a red cape and twin tails and walking over with a Zunzun big strand. Even with a deformed cat mask on that face, you'll never see it differently.

"So, how was the operation meeting?

"Nothing, I didn't tell you the big deal. That enchanted golem, no, he did say 'Taurus' or something... well, he just told me what to do while he consolidated the protection of the big hole he vacated."

Even Nero, who talks about the operational meeting as if he were in attendance, is, of course, not supposed to be there now, tricking a rank 1 rookie adventurer. Only the Rank 5 Adventurers entrusted with the Battalion Captain and those who were granted the 'Independent Action Authority (Orderlaid)' were called in.

"As always, you're good at eavesdropping."

"Don't say it in a bad way, I just pinched it in my little ear"

I guess the operation meeting wasn't even that confidential. Though blocked by thick walls, no other soundproofing or bugging magic was activated. Rank 4 equivalent bandit or assassin class is enough security to steal and listen to indoor conversations.

"No one would have expected a hole in the wall on the first day of the war, and King Leonhardt was pretty serious."

"Hmm, when that big one comes along, I'll blow you away with my thunder again, so you'll be fine!

"Ho ho ho, you're reliable for Soytz, Charlotte!

It wasn't Nero who returned such a tearing word to Charlotte, who must have his confident face, floating behind the cat surface.

"No, it was supposed to be Rank 1 Adventurer's ES now?

Large palms coming down over Charlotte's red hair stroking roughly with gassies.

A rude person who suddenly appeared from behind, but she never let the lightning strike back.

"What!? Hey, lie, brother Ike!?

"Hey, bad kids."

It is the big young man with the same red hair and golden eyes as Charlotte who smiles like a nigger and a beast. Eisenhardt Tristan Sparda, captain of the fourth squad 'Gladiator'. Authentic, he is Charlotte's fruitful brother.

"Ha... I knew my brother would find out"

"Golem smashes in such a flashy way that you won't notice."

Oh man, say Eisenhardt with a mean grin to Sigh Nero as usual.

"Please, brother! Not for your father yet."

"I think my dad noticed... well, it's not a good idea to be a snake for now, I'll keep my mouth shut. Besides, I don't know if I've come this far."

I stroke my head when I said I really had no choice but to be my sister. Hands that make a prank cat adorable.

"I don't care why you came all the way to such a fucking battlefield or why. You guys have your thoughts."

What an understandable word, Nero the boulder also frowned a little sorry.

Eisenhardt has long been sweet to us, rather than attractive to us. That's why I admire Nero enough to call him 'brother'. If he's just a big man who deserves it, Nero can still be admitted at his current age.

"Sorry, brother."

"I mean fine. Instead, I'm gonna use you guys with my eyes full, so be prepared."

"Oh, thanks...... Brother Ike"

Even the same brother, Charlotte utters a word of thanks in a moist manner that he will never show Wilhardt.

"No, I don't seem to see Princess Nell... did you return him to Avalon?

"Oh. We came this way, too, after we dropped Nell off. Definitely headed for Avalon."

"You're as overprotective as ever, Nero, brother."

"Stop it, Nell was supposed to come with me this time"

Well, I can point my eyes out of golden eyes, like half surprised and half suspicious. Nero's red eyes were sidelined without matching his gaze.

"But that's the way it is. Bye."

"Saying?

"Nell, like when I got back from Ischia again, I suddenly lost my energy"

Speaking of which, you were ill and cut out of a cage in the dorm for a while, Eisenhardt says as I recall. The Princess of Avalon's malaise naturally seemed to be in the ears of a prince of a nation.

"I'm not sleeping... but I don't care what you think, I'm not in a position to fight Matomo"

"Is it that bad? That princess Nell... I can't imagine. I mean, why are you so hectic, you know why?

Nero replied with a wrinkle carved deeper into his brow in the back of his mask to Eisenhardt's face that if he was ill for an unknown reason, it would be bad.

"Also, I hear something happened with Chrono"

"Oh, my God, again, that means it was the same in Ischia."

"Oh, the details, in the end, remain unclear."

Nero grumbling bitterly. Apparently, it is a fairly heavy source of concern.

Most of all, the only thing that makes this cool Prince Avalon serious is about your lovely little sister, even if it's not Eisenhardt, it's a well-known fact that you'll notice if you have quite a relationship.

"Heh, Krono, you... you mean make a woman cry, just like she looks"

"You're not as cool as you look just because you're scared of your face"

To her sister, who pointed her mouth and objected, her brother told her confidently somewhere to listen.

"No, there are a lot of women who like a guy who looks like he's full of dangerous scents. To that face and style, the courage and courage to move at all, even in front of my father. Besides, rank five and strength are real. Now you don't fall in love with a woman like Sparda."

"But I'll give you tentacles and stuff!

"From what I've seen, he's been making quite a few women cry. Well, I don't know about the tentacles."

"Eh! What's that, that perverted tentacle guy who's not a sucker after all!

"Heroes, you say you prefer color. That's good, the battle was about as good as it was today. Nevertheless, I didn't know Princess Nell liked that type."

"It doesn't matter."

That's such a sharp, cold word of denial that it even feels like killing. It can't be anything other than Nero that emitted it.

"Doesn't matter, Nell's never gonna see him again."

"... I see you're done studying at Sparda"

Don't get lonely. After crushing so, Eisenhardt flipped the red cape lavishly and turned back his heel.

"Well, I'll go now. I'm still the captain, I'm busy."

"Yeah, good luck, brother!

I looked back at the end and said as I received the cheer of my pretty sister on my back.

"Your placement is on the south left wing. Tell that to Galblaze's stupid son and Hydra's insidious lady, too. What do you expect from Alterface?

"- I've already left the village of Dakia. You'll be in Avalon tomorrow, Princess."

In such a gentle tone that he was so concerned that there was no more, Helen, captain of the SS Princess Nell, who made her a courtier of the Avalonian noble Azrael family, addressed the beloved princess.

……

Nell Julius Ellord, the first princess of Avalon against, does not even try to show a glimpse of the reaction by simply letting his vain eyes wander into the void.

Amazingly shake-free, no, a carriage dedicated to royalty that doesn't make you feel shaken at all or anything. The view outside, peeking through its small windows, does have a white and beautiful mountain view of the northern Galahad Mountains with snow makeup.

Nell is now on his way back to his homeland, Avalon, more than Sparda.

Guarded Kingsguard Knights (Royal Guards) dressed in silver armor helmets surrounding the carriage. It was about a week ago that they came to Sparda with an order for the return of the Ellord brothers and sisters, the life of King Avalon.

But only Nell actually heads to Avalon. Nero himself quickly disappeared after he made his sister, who had suffered a remarkable loss of heart, take a firm oath to the knights to take her home.

First Prince Nero, it is a famous story in Avalon that he dazzles his whereabouts and goes out to play or be impotent. And once you miss it, you'll never be able to catch yourself until you come home satisfied. Neither the Kingsguard knight who protects the royal family, nor all this is so much the arbitrary action of the prince that he has become routine that he has not already been scolded by the king.

At first, after depositing a letter from Nero describing the circumstances, the Kingsguard knight gave up early on securing the prince's identity and moved to the escort of Princess Nell.

Nell, as if he had lost his vitality, was an unusual container in which not a word even exchanged words with them, but he was nevertheless fortunate enough to follow the instructions with great care.

Leaving all your care to the maids accompanying the knights and to Helen, who ran as an escort, the Kingsguard knights were not involved in the circumstances of the princess or asked, but merely committed to fulfilling their own mandate.

In other words, only Helen, an alumni of the same international student, could speak to Nell today.

"Another day's patience."

However, Helen's heart also breaks into boulders before Nell, who thoroughly pierces the unresponsive. It would, for one thing, be the gift of her love and loyalty to be kept talking for a week against a doll-like person who hardly replies.

Or because you don't think the situation sucks yet, is it?

A natural enemy, Black Nightmare Mad Warrior (Nightmare Bursarca) Chrono, who tried to keep up with Princess Nell as a source of resentment and put himself in the hands of a demon of inferior desire. The man took an emergency quest and went to Garahad Fortress Defense, away from the side of Nell. For Helen, I can never be more relieved.

Nell himself seemed terribly saddened about that breakup more than he called him a friend, but once he pulled away, the rest could be resolved in time. Nell also went back to Avalon, where he was meant to be, and Helen believed that a little therapy would surely bring him back to sanity.

"... ah"

Unexpectedly, Nell opened his mouth. It's like air coming out, small and short, but sure, my voice leaked.

Nell was tilting his body forward and peeking into the small window as Helen tried to be joyful and brave to speak up before the seemingly long-sought reaction.

"What is it, Princess?

"Here… where I first met Krono-kun,"

Nell laughs. A ghost smile with a frizzy spine.

"Oh, yeah, really?"

Before the princess is unusual, let Helen try to respond, albeit under pressure.

"Yes, the horse, he said he wouldn't move... hehe, I was in trouble... ugh, he's cute"

Creepy laughter leaks. In a luxuriously built carriage dedicated exclusively to the royal family, but only at this time, Helen savors the kind of tension thrown into the crypt dungeon where the deceased's mad laughter echoes.

Before returning the next word, Nell tells the story - no, it's just solitary. Keep crushing as you stare out the window without seeing Helen present.

"To that horse, to Mary, I want to ride, Krono-kun"

Helen quickly realized that Chrono had kidnapped Nell, and that he had accompanied him to fly out of Sparda when the students of the seminary were besieged by a legion of monsters in the ancient castle of Ischia. At least Nell can be sure that he's definitely riding Chrono's beloved horse at that time.

The adventurer style is outrageous, such as being alone with the princess. Helen can only pray that the disrespect is one-time. Have you ever ridden with Chrono twice, three times and many times? I couldn't even ask.

"How can I get on? How can you, again, take me?

Nell continues to twinkle as he speaks to Krono himself, who is far away at Fortress Galahad. That posture is now such that I'm going to let my hands stick to the window and jump straight out.

Regardless, opening this window isn't big enough for people to get through, and, well, it's impossible for a door to open while driving. The lock on the door is on Helen's side sitting face-to-face. If Nell reaches for the key to truly go out, it is up to him to stop being disrespectful and tenacious.

Before Nell, who creates signs that it's not strange to make use of any oddity, Helen has nothing more to offer than to watch with a cold sweat of large muscles on her white face.

"I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do."

The silence comes. Nell suddenly stopped talking to himself, not wandering around, as if he'd been frozen as he was.

Nell turned to me before Helen questioned the voice of anxiety. The neck movement is like a mechanical golem. But the cloudy eyes are those of the undead monster.

"Oh, you know, princess... something?

"Helen."

I read the name. Your name. Long time no see, long time no see, Princess Nell looked at herself and called me. To be honest with him, Nell smiled as bright as the spring sun was before him and spoke his name.

"Ha, yes! What is it, Princess?

Tense Helen replies as she embarks on herself in Russia. Now, any trial, with the willingness to accomplish it for the princess.

"Are you my friend?

Immediate - hesitated for just a moment. But I still think there's nothing else than affirmation, again.

"Yes, many fears, as Princess Nell's alumni, I went to Sparda with her."

"Really, I think of you as a friend, too. Because I'm an important classmate."

Extremely impressive, really. Before the gentle words of the princess she had even dreamed of, Helen spins the words of joy in tears. Nell's eyes remain cloudy even though the light is still lost.

"I have a favor to ask you."

"Yes, Princess! Tell this Helen what it is!!

There is no one in the car who can scratch that it would be a subordinate attitude, not a friend.

"Really, then -"

And Nell said it off. I can't do it in the name of a favor.

"Now go to Fortress Galahad and fight"

"... Huh?

I didn't immediately understand what you asked me to do.

Put aside a beat, I could understand the meaning of the word. But no matter how much I think about it, Nell's intentions are almost unreadable.

"What is it? Quick, go now."

Come on, stand up, and as Nell grabbed his shoulder to hurry, Helen finally detected the anomaly and raised her voice of restraint.

"Hey, hey, wait, princess!?

"You just have to go, so you don't have to gear up. Go dressed like that, come on, come on, come on."

"Oh no, don't say impotent!

Against Helen, who clearly raised her voice of rejection, Nell frowned and took a blatantly grumpy look, but once again sat back in his seat.

"... why don't you do me a favor?

His eyes are hateful and cloudy, even though he has a childish puffiness.

"Oh, don't ask too much of me... and I don't even know why"

"Don't you know why?

A boastful tutor scolds an incapable student. Irrational, though I think, Helen has nothing more to offer than to bow her head, apologize.

"Yes...... sorry......"

Ha, and a big sigh like when Nero saw Kai's stupidity, Nell said.

"If you go to Fortress Galahad, I can help you."

"... Yes?

"I'm going to the Galahad Fortress to help your friend. Then you can go see Chrono-kun with dignity, right?

It was a logic that ordinary people should not understand.

"Become, I won't be, Princess! such -"

"I want to see Chrono-kun. I need to see you soon. Whatever. I want you to meet me, talk to me, give me a hug."

So you go. Be a reason to go see him.

Yes, Nell says.

"You're my friend, aren't you? Then do me a favor."

"Please, please don't say such impotence! The princess is disturbing you now, please, calm down."

"Well, I'll give you an order. As the first princess of Avalon, I command you, Helen. Go to Fortress Galahad now."

"Behold... what..."

"Oh yeah, it's a corner, so come bravely fight and die. Then, I'm sad that your friend is dead, so Chrono-kun is going to comfort me gently."

"Princess, it's too..."

"Heh, heh, heh, I'm looking forward to it...... yes, that's settled now. Come on, die quick, Helen."

I can't help but look forward from the bottom of my heart, so dull blue, but my eyes stare at me with the look of anticipation. Helen weeps at the sight, no, just bows her head and begs forgiveness, already zeroing in a large amount of Shizuku.

"I am sorry, Princess... I am in the presence of His Majesty King Mirialdo, who told me to send Her Royal Highness to Avalon safely... I cannot follow the Princess's orders"

Helen sues in tears for the most appropriate excuse she can think of.

"... Really?"

Nell told him to throw up, turning the complexion and voice he was in a good mood into a sick faceless look again.

"Unusable Woman"

Again, with a deliberately loud sigh, Nell stuck himself on the soft seat of a hookah that made the royal body comfortable even on long journeys. There is no one on this occasion who can say, I don't know.

"Helen, were you going to join some knighthood when you graduated? If it doesn't help like you, tell your father to use it as a warehouse number."

Remaining in a sloppy, sleepy position, Nell is exposed to rumblings that take away Helen's glorious future, as he snaps in his sleep.

"There's a grandfather named Tomas at Warehouse 13 in Royal Castle, and he's been doing that warehouse number all by himself, not long before I was born. It's quite a few years old, so it's time for someone to take over, isn't it?

Protecting the royal castle's treasure trove is one of the elite security tasks that Kingsguard knights take on, but it is understandable that a place that has never heard of Warehouse XIII is a less important facility that is obviously not normally used.

"Hehe, that's the perfect job for an incompetent lady."

Helen bites her lips and endures as she whispers and weeps.

Pushing the whimper to death and crying, Helen's heart was anointed with dos black emotions, more than grief.

The princess has changed. No, they changed it. Um, by a demon-like man.

Merciful Nell never scolds or mocks anyone. Innocent and clean and white. A sample of a princess, no, the ideal itself. Hence, it's impossible. Trying to discredit yourself so badly for doing your loyalty.

Helen cannot help but hate the beautiful and sober Princess Nell, the culprit who drove her crazy.

"- Well, then how do I get to see Krono-kun?

What the hell is that question about? At least, Helen is very unwilling to answer. Because Nell's heart attestation to himself is already on the bottom, but his mind is not so paralyzed that he can accept further cursing.

"If I want to see you, why, I... not me... no, what..."

Bury your face in a soft sheet and ask yourself blurry and hard to hear. First of all, I want you to hear nothing.

"Why, I'm not the one next door, you know... ah, ah..."

Unexpectedly, the words broke off. Helen realizes. Nell raises a groan that doesn't speak, to the fact that he's shaking himself.

"Princess!? Stop the carriage! Come on!!"

He responded immediately to Helen's cry, whose face raised with clear traces of tears. The carriage still stopped quietly without shaking and also without sound. The surrounding knights stopped perfectly without disturbance, without having to check.

"Ah, ugh..."

"Princess, please go outside"

Quickly unlock the door and open it, while gently holding Nell's body up. The princess's complexion is pale, her eyes are vain, and she is losing the rays of anger.

They roll out of the carriage and out onto the snow path outside so as to collapse in half.

I didn't even care for the silver Kingsguard knight rushing over from the white horse, and Nell headed toward the bright white snowy ground -

"Ugh, ku... yeah..."

I threw up.

Nell sprinkles dirty diarrhea from that poor mouth, even though he barely spoke of food and drink on the road.

Helen zeroed her tears three times at the way she looked so unhappy and so miserable.

"Oh, hey, me, Princess Nell..."
