Kuro no Maou

The moon of darkness 24th. That night is called 'Holy Night (Holy Night)' in the Crucifixion and is considered the holiest day of the year.

That was long before 'Paradise (Eden)' existed, when the White God was still in the world where man lived. That day, God meets one woman.

She said she was a beautiful woman with dark, dark hair and red eyes like blood.

Her name is Aria.

From that encounter it is uncertain how much time has passed. But at least it is what happens after God leaves man's world and returns to God's.

Aria had a child. Made between God and man, right, Son of God.

The day of birth is the 24th of the underworld moon as well.

The child had been granted protection by God, the Father. This is how the first Apostle, the First Apostle Adam, was born.

And Aria will be worshipped as the 'Virgin Mary' as the mother who gave birth to the Son of God.

It's all in the Bible, that's all. It is the day God met the Virgin Mary and the day the Son of God was born. It was too good a reason for a day, the 24th of the month of the rightly fateful underworld, to be considered sacred in the Cross as a 'Holy Night'.

Especially from the episode of birth to encounter, famously also as an event of love that deepens the friendship between men and women, no, it would also be a natural consequence to become universally customary. A younger couple would rather wait for this day than a devout cross. Because this day is so, so special for them.

"... n"

That was no exception to the Second Apostle Abel here.

In the dark bedroom, Abel gently wakes her body out of bed, sweating a muscle from her forehead.

This is a room in a residential area reserved for the Apostle in the Cathedral of St. Elysion. Usually this room is also used by Abel.

Abel, who traveled in search of the demon king born on the continent of Pandora, was returning to Elysion yesterday, precisely after noon on the 24th of the Dark Moon, because today, no, it was already the time before dawn. Originally, I wanted to take a little longer to get home, but he had a reason why I really had to make it to the 24th.

"Oh, have you woken up...?

From right next to me, that is, from the shadow that slept next to me, a mellow sweet voice rises.

"Sorry, Mikael. Did I wake you up?"

"No, I just woke up, too."

In a bedroom without lights, one can only recognize as much as another shadow rose, but Abel's black and blue eyes foresaw exactly what she looked like even in the dark.

Slightly disturbed platinum blonde long hair with a thin sweat in the beauty of the Virgin smiling softly. It's like hiding a naked upper body with a blanket in your hand, but only the flank and shoulder of a big peek is so fantastic that it's too much to drive a man's reason crazy.

But Abel looked somewhere in the eye of vigilance, as if to see her, the Third Apostle, Mikael, who, after a long relationship spanning more than a hundred years, was still so deeply connected as to bring her together on the Holy Night, even in an obscure monster.

"... have you heard of the trust?

"Yes."

Mikael's eyes glow demonically in the dark like a magical purple crystal (amethyst).

"Saliel, you seem to have lost."

With the fact of apostolic defeat in his mouth, the gentle smile does not disappear from Mikael's face.

"I wouldn't have just lost. I didn't know you were going to hear such a trusteeship... since you became an apostle, I never dreamed of it"

"Oh, really? I rather think this would have been good for Sariel."

The words were in no way ironic or anything, but sounded like teachers rejoicing that their godchildren had gone on the ideal path.

"Yeah, maybe... but God's guy seemed pretty mad"

"If you're in betrayal twice on Holy Night (Holy Night), that'll piss you off. Hey, Ugh"

"Eve the original sin, huh? Ridiculous, Aria would just have run away"

The legend about the 24th of the Dark Moon, where few know that there is another, tragic episode. It is also one of the taboos of the Crucifixion, known only to a very limited number of priests.

The fact being passed on is that Aria betrayed God and escaped from 'Paradise (Eden)'. And the presence of a woman named Eve who invited it.

It was the first man to defy God. A great sinner who bears the original sin. It is therefore called 'Eve of the Original Sin'.

Her very existence is spoken of in the Bible and known to everyone in the Cross. However, only the part involving her and Aria is conveyed, being the first person to fall down specially and Eve has disobeyed God.

In other words, Aria is not supposed to betray God in the generally widespread Bible.

Incidentally, the background that Eve, the same woman, invited Aria the woman, would be one of the reasons behind the crucifixion's ban on homosexuality. The appearance is only justified by the lack of productivity with which the child is not born. God said, "Give birth, increase," so people have to increase.

"But the problem is that some of the apostles will be angrier than God's mood"

"That's, you know... but it's something I can't help. It's very, very painful to be deprived of someone you love."

"... experience tells you that?"

"It's okay, because I'm the one next to you right now."

Unexpectedly, Abel deflected her face from Mikael.

"Sorry, that was rude."

"Oh, ugh, fine, because I don't care"

Abel's hands are softly stacked with Mikael's soft palms. Abel faintly shook her shoulder, as if she had also been entwined by a venomous snake.

"Hehe, you're totally awake... but at night, it's not dawn yet, is it?

Before Mikael's white arm got tangled, Abel got out of bed like he was bounced. Should I say I ran away?

"Sorry, but in this situation, it would be quite a commotion even in Elysion. Worst of all, it is possible to recall other apostles"

"Um, yeah...... would it be calm north or south if I were to put it back?

"The east smells pretty kina, but it's possible he and the others are expanding the front themselves. Maybe it's better to keep the problem child away from Pandora."

While we talk about that, Abel quickly gets dressed and hurries to get out of the bedroom. At this point, it looks like you can take a shower later.

That's when Abel put her hand on the door knob, she waited in a sweet voice but was called.

"I'll be here tomorrow, can I wait?

"... I don't know if they're coming."

"I'll wait till you get here. If it's too late, it's mine."

"Okay. Tomorrow or the night after tomorrow at the latest, back."

With an openly bitter look, Abel replied so as to squeeze it out. If I thought I could successfully turn down Mikael's holy invitation, it would seem so painful to have been made to confirm the next meeting. So much so that I regret that I should have dealt with him now.

"Ugh, I'll wait, you"

You can see Abel's complexion, etc., but Mikael smiled purely like an innocent child everywhere, dropping him off.

When he finally escaped Mikael's gaze and went out into the dim and cold corridor, Abel quickly switched his mind and began walking forcefully.

"First of all, should we confirm the trust"

Abel thinks back, as she engraves it in her head again, to announce in her dream that she's going to disappear like Kasumi when she's bonking -

"The seventh apostle, Saliel, fell into the hands of the demon king and fell into heaven. A serious act of dorsal godliness and conclusiveness capable of Eve's original sins. Immediate, protective stripping. and make the seventh place permanently absent '

"But I'm glad you didn't mention Sariel's execution."

Find them and kill them, and if they say so, they'll be happy to move out. In the Cross, and in the Apostle.

"Nevertheless, apparently, truly, the Demon King was born"

Abel anticipates.

that this sacrament would be passed on not only to the Apostle, but also to the other priests. That means that the emergence of a being known as the 'Demon King' will at last be an open fact for the Crucifixion.

"Ha... embark on a journey to defeat the Demon King, don't say anything to me, God. Because the adventures of Abel the Brave should be over by now."

"... Ah, crusader, you seem to have lost"

Bishop Gregorius, who was in a swallowing sleep in a carriage seat that would be superbly comfortable to sit on, suddenly woke up. Most of all, when he usually wakes up from his sleep in detail, his blue eyes never open perfectly.

"Become, what is it, Bishop, all of a sudden in the wake"

The first thing Gregorius' eyes caught was a tough middle-aged man's face he didn't really want to see up close when he woke up. He was the head of the Knolls Priest, aboard the carriage.

"Um, the Crusaders lost, what...?

A boy priest on board asks as he patches his circular eyes like a puppy. The sacrifice to Captain Estelle of the Tenma Knight, who is admirably guarding their carriage, is also Rudell, their fiancée.

"Yeah, we've just decided to win or lose, now. You said it was Holy Night (Holy Night) at the corner, but you couldn't show God a good place, Count Bergunt, eh, too bad"

In front of him, Gregorius spoke happily of the defeat of his army with a niyanya smile that seemed to only ironically incite him with all his might.

"No way, is that the Bishop's 'prophecy'?

"Yeah, well, that's pretty much it."

Apparently Gregorius' prophecy 'and apparently Knolls was not simply a sophisticated prediction using his intelligence, but rather that there was a greater karakuri. It would be reasonable to assume that he received the blessing of a white God and was given a special ability.

The question is what kind of ability it is.

"Better than that, so?

"What is it?

"It is… if the Crusaders lose, we will finally be isolated and helpless in the enemy country"

Knolls thought they were acting on the assumption that the Crusaders' Sparda offense would succeed. If the Crusaders' Third Army, or noblemen, took the territory of Sparda, they thought they'd keep their hands on Avalon beyond it.

But if the Third Army were to be defeated, Sparda could not have been born alive, regardless, the gap that would have entered Avalon. What are we going to do now to Avalon?

Isn't that like we're just guerrilla troops?

Isn't it the Heavenly Horse Knight for that?

No, when it comes to a Tenma knight with excellent mobility in boulders, just a few troops won't even be a rear mess. The place to operate is too far from the battlefield.

Is it true, for example, that the role of escort, which Gregorius explains, is the least we can do in infiltrating?

"The Third Army has served me well enough. Thanks to their reckless adherence to the Galahad fortress in the winter, we hadn't tread on Avalon soil yet."

I heard you would infiltrate by multiplying the fortress's offensive strategy, but did you really mean you used the battle of the Third Army for just that? In fact, Sparda's border security was clearly diminished thanks to a flashy battle in the mountains of Galahad.

Guards are halved. Griffon and Pegasus, who would otherwise be looking out for the sky, also have to create gaps in their surveillance networks.

As a result, we were finally beyond Spartan territory and into Avalon territory.

"So far, Bishop, I have arrived so far in silence… may it be time for you to tell us what our true purpose is? I'm already ready, and most importantly, there's no going back in this place."

"... uh, didn't I tell you?

I was quite prepared to ask, but it's light everywhere I came back. It was a fuzzy question back.

Again, I don't like this guy. Knolls thinks again.

"Rudell, you're listening, aren't you?

"Uh... yes"

"What!?

I'm the chief priest, Priest Rudell. Why are my orders coming through first downstairs? Is this the hardship of middle management? You're not. I'm not kidding.

Such agony and anger is what Knolls said, "What!?" It was aggregated into

"Oh, may I tell you..."

"Oh, yes, yes, I'm sorry, I, uh, I got a wuckle in the weird part"

Just tell me. G. As he indulges, wait for the words of his hellish boss to continue.

"Uh, hey, our mission at Avalon is -- oops, excuse me, communications."

While remembering the danciness of a dancer who can't take it off, Knolls silently endures the time until Gregorius's telepathic call ends.

"Yes, yes, what is it, Captain Estelle? Ah, ha, yes... that's..."

The communications machine is a small piercing that emits a blue glow. Therefore, Gregorius seems to speak voluptuously to himself, and I am angry that he still looks like him. It means that it's still more convincing to be headed toward a telecom machine like the head of an old-fashioned gothic golem.

"Uh, Mr. Rudell, would you mind wiping the window there for a second?

"Yes!

Suddenly the boy, who was told the story, headed to the window of his seat as he had been bounced, and after some thought, used the long hem of his coat of law to wipe away the cloudy glass surface with cuckoo and winter cold.

"Hmm, I see - indeed, there's a battle going on"

Red flaming flower gardens bloom in bright white snowfields in windows that reflect the view outside.

Armed groups are attacking carriages stranded in the streets from all sides, gradually narrowing the siege. It doesn't seem wacky because of the intense fighting, it's just that the pedestrians are being attacked by bandits.

If you don't have a sorcerer more than a line, whether you're attacking or being attacked, you'll never have a blast like this blowing up.

"Hey, from above, you know exactly what's going on on on the ground. I'm so jealous that Knight Tenma always sees this view."

Yes, what the windows show is the terrestrial landscape overlooking from the air.

I mean, this carriage is flying.

It's not just a carriage. Specially made with Pegasus pulling with four heads standing and magic to allow the body to float. As Avalon infiltrates, it is a specially made Heavenly Horse Vehicle prepared by Gregorius with the most money.

"Well, gentlemen, we're finally at work."

Knock on the bread and hands, gather the gaze of Knolls and Rudell peeking out the window.

"Let's go help. Of course, it's the carriage that's under attack, right?

"Become!? If we show up here..."

"Oh, wait, wait, don't you two yell at the same dialogue -"

Unexpectedly, any further objections are once interrupted to Gregorius, who suppresses the ears with the communicator piercing in such a manner.

However, this opinion has already been conveyed sufficiently.

On this occasion, if we stick our necks in Isakoza in the enemy country, our presence will be immediately exposed. I don't know what you've been diving through a surveillance net for, I don't know what that means.

"Well, both of you, this is exactly what God's guidance is all about"

"No way... it is the duty of the faithful to help the innocent people, etc..."

"Yeah, that's right"

"Stupid! We're demons or heathens!

"No, they're 'unbelievers'."

Still unbelievers, write 'unbelievers'. It's not about unbelievers who don't believe in God, it's just about poor people, who live without even knowing that God exists. Therefore, they are not beings to be debated as enemies of God, but beings to be saved by God's teachings from now on.

Even in the Crucifixion, this idea of the 'unbelievers' is a division of approval or disapproval, but it was a very major stance for the priests spreading God's teachings in the ruling colonies, or in the peripheral lands they were ruling.

"Look, Chief Priest Knolls, there's no one else we've come to Avalon to preach."

That's not an impossible hand.

In the past, many times the Crusaders have carried out crusade missionary activities as a pioneer of aggression, creating allies, not least new compatriots, within the enemy, to achieve smooth aggression and subsequent domination.

However, the attempt was never attempted on the Pandora continent.

For what reason?

The answer is simple. It is the presence of the devil tribe.

The areas in which the Crusaders carried out missionary operations were all nations made up exclusively of humans. Only man can be a follower of the Crucifixion. Elves, Dwarves, Beast Races...... They exist in a wide variety of ways, but you can never recognize as believers a sub-race that draws a line with humans.

Even the same man will not penetrate the teachings of the Crucifixion if a powerful faith is rooted in the region. Well, it is unlikely that another race, the Demons, will accept God's teachings.

"Phew, it's impossible..."

"No, it's bound to work. Because the people of this land await the teachings of God. We will use Avalon as a starting point to spread faith in the White God on the Pandora continent - that is my 'prophecy'."

fanatics, the word passes behind Knolls' brain.

Until now, the grin, which should have just been frigid, has seemed like a bottomless creep as soon as possible.

Knolls can't help but regret now that he's come to a point where he really can't go back.

"Come on, I'll be there, Chief Priest Knolls, Captain Estelle. To save a poor lamb in peril, I have to..."

Thus, only a dozen missionary groups led by Bishop Gregorius, the "Aria Monastery", descended into the land of Avalon.
