Kuro no Maou

After all, Baron Hellman seems to have kept his promise to me. Until we arrived at the Galahad Fortress, the Crusaders showed no shadow or form. Not even one user demon (Servant) for tracking has shown up.

As a matter of fact, we had a hunter out there, but maybe he just couldn't find us.

Lily and Fiona were also getting ready for it as they came to the rocks in front of the enemy fortress. It is a magic device (magic item) whose representative can completely hide his appearance: the 'Predator Coat'.

The principle is that light attribute magic makes visible light seem transparent by distorting it. However, if you move too hard, the distortion of light seems to uneven with the surrounding sight, and that part only looks gnarly or boisterous, so it's not wacky that you can hide yourself completely in any condition.

However, if you're just lurking jizzily, the effect is immense. If you are alert only to the naked eye of a guard or to the sight of a user demon (Servant), it is definitely impossible to discover it first.

By the way, although it's named Coat, it's actually a pretty big piece of fabric. Because the 'Predator Coat' can only be made transparent by those suited to light attributes, the user seems to be Lily and by wearing Fiona together, they were both hiding themselves. Does it feel like two feathers?

In this way, there are plenty of items for concealment because, fortunately, Lily and Fiona received my letter while they were staying at Fortress Galahad. Lily ran to Sparta to get all the gear and supplies she needed to immediately see the situation and assist me in my return.

Ready. Although there were excessive bends, I also managed to rendezvous with the two at the Alsace Fortress.

If we can get to Fortress Galahad, after that, we'll only go on a safe domestic path, where we don't have to be alert to enemy raids anymore. There can be no obstacle to getting there, and the road goes well.

For the first time in months, I went back to Sparta.

"... oh, you're home, you're here"

Shaken by the back of Mary the Immortal Horse (Nightmare), who hasn't been reunited in a long time, I crush emotionally as I gaze at the Great Wall of the Capital Sparda in a distance.

The moon changes, the second day of the month of fresh water, which will be March. The return from Fortress Galahad to Sparda was also to be fulfilled.

If you take off Daedalus safely, there's no more reason to stay at Fortress Galahad. The war is over.

Although Mary was a strong stables life for a while in Galahad, Fiona and Lily seemed to have taken good care of her, and I can't feel anything like this discomfort or decay after walking on it for a long time like this. Really, you two have to do everything from what, and I can't get my head up.

On Mary's back, who walks so forcefully, is not only me, but Sariel as well.

As a matter of fact, we have not yet reported to the Spartan army that we have captured Sariel.

I never refuse to keep my mouth shut and think about hiding, hiding. As far as I'm concerned, I was going to offer to take the enemy general into captivity first... but now you should still stop. It was Lily and Fiona who said so and stopped.

The point is, they want to hear the explanation for Sariel first. If you stick Saliel out to the Spartan army, you will undoubtedly deposit that figure first.

From what I hear, that Eighth Apostle Eye was taken prisoner, by accident, in the Galahad war and locked up in a special prison beneath the Royal Castle of Sparda. It is unlikely that Sariel, who has lost the power of the Apostle, will ever need a lofty servant, but will nevertheless be locked in the same place and never see him again.

Honestly, we don't know exactly what the Spartans are going to do with Sariel. That's why they want to hear as much as they can.

And after the two of you have heard the circumstances, what are you going to do with Sariel, and more specifically, how are you going to stick it out to the Spartan army? This one, rather than this one, has to be conditioned the way I want, and worst of all, if you can think of executions, keeping them hidden is one option. In deciding what to do with Sariel in the future, the first thing you two have to do is give a convincing explanation.

If I'd just clarified the circumstances, I wouldn't have even had to make them imitate like this clandestine immigration. When I returned to Fortress Galahad, I reported my return to the Spartan army. For once, even after returning to Sparda, he told us that he was supposed to report through Adventurer Alliance headquarters, and that the knights would soon receive a subpoena from the Royal Castle.

Anything, I am a meritorious man who has repelled powerful enemies, and His Majesty King Leonhardt sees them.

Anyway, I'm obliged to report my own trends. But when we arrived at the fortress, we hid about Sariel. Use magic equipment (magic items) for disguises that Lily and Fiona had in their possession to disguise once again or someone else. Fortunately, I was brought here without being stuck with "Who is it, Soitz".

We were somewhat rushed to find out about the Galahad Fortress. In the end, to calm down and talk, I mean, after I got back to Sparda's dorm.

A few days early after Lily and Fiona reunited. I'm having a hard time uncovering and having a hard time keeping a serious situation in mind. The gaze of the two staring at me and Sariel grew tougher every day, and I came back so far without a loco conversation.

Stress that seems to have holes in the stomach. Honestly, I feel like going back to Pioneering Village and having another swallowing Nise Priest life.

But the hardest part would be the two of us. My hardship is nothing.

I made up my mind. I don't even regret it. The result of my choice. No matter how painful and sad the outcome is, I'll take it spoiledly.

……

The sky I looked up, it's still blue.

By nightfall, I think I'll be able to get home to the dorm.

So tonight. Finally, let's get everything out to the two of us.

Why do I keep Sariel alive? I don't know how you took away her protection... that, everything.

Already at sunset, the run-down dorm lounge is lit with indoor lights and illuminated with soft light.

It's a quiet night. I can't even hear the bugs. In the night sky, just a few thin clouds float, and the blurry moon shines, I guess.

Simon's not in the dorm. I hear you went on some kind of quest. I don't know when I'll be back.

So right now, the two of us on this table are Lily and Fiona. It's me and Sariel facing each other. No one gets in the way, finally, the four of us can talk.

I'm ready. I can't retreat later, and I can't postpone it.

Come on, let's start talking.

"... well, let's start with what happened after I was drunk by metastatic magic"

Lily and Fiona had no voice and nodded.

"They say" Heavenly Delivery Gate (Havensgate) ". The man who made me an experimental subject, a man named Bishop Judas, said it was metamagic for the apostolic emergency escape."

"It's the Fountain of Light, isn't it?

"Oh, oh... did I tell you?

Trouble with Lily's unexpected answer, for a moment. No, no doubt, we haven't talked about being flown by The Fountain of Light yet.

"Perhaps that metastatic magic uses the ground vein. It was also limited to those that carry the nature of strong light attributes. So the flying destinations are not limited to waxes that can be set freely, but to points where the pulse of light lands out onto the surface, or dragon holes. I'm sure the original destination was the Diocese of Daedalus. But before that, there was a powerful dragon hole of light... which is the" Fountain of Light ""

I was half-assed to hear Lily's explanation. I didn't know you were so figuring out the mysterious metamorphosis magic.

Lily, who only looks much younger than Leki and Ursula, is once again amazed when she lets herself talk about the magic in such a way.

"Looks like you still had some magic left. But if it was one more year, no, six months too late, Chrono would have been out in the middle of the enemy as planned. I must thank Her Majesty for her protection."

That said, Lily smiles softly. Truly, as a tribute to the Fairy Goddess who believes. Or that you'd be happy to see me safe.

But above all, you see a young smile that should rest, and my spine can't help but run through a frigid chill.

Lily has not transformed herself now, but she has completely regained consciousness. Lies and deceptions don't work. On the contrary, I'm sure she'll let me reveal even the deep psychology that makes me turn away myself.

"As for metastatic magic, fine. The question is... hey, Chrono, what the hell did you see in The Fountain of Light?

With a reflexive desire to escape, I stare straight back into Lily's eyes.

"I saw Sariel's memory"

Tell me the truth I saw.

"Sariel, who ate a cardiac erosion warhead (memory burst) on his head, caused intense reverse interference (backdoor) to me that was nearby. I've been looking back at Sariel's memories ever since."

First, the memory of that day's battle. I merged with Lily to look like a woman. I saw myself from Saliel's point of view, and before I came onto the battlefield, I'm confirming the landscape where I was eating at the Alsace Fortress.

So our operation was a success.

"Oh, it was a great success. At that time, Sariel had almost lost consciousness and was no longer able to fight back against Locke."

Not sure about the memories of the past and the reality in front of me, Saliel was eating my 'Fist of Anger (Lars Impact)' moro.

"And at the end, sealed memories, too, all, freed"

That Saliel has continued to fight as an apostle. Even where I interact with some fellow apostles, I saw. And even before she woke up to the Apostle.

"- I knew you were the same experiment as Chrono."

"Oh, this was just what Lily expected too"

The pathetic victim of "The White Trail," led by Judas.

"Have you had to put that reality before, sympathize with, sympathize with?

"No, Fiona. If that's all, I could still kill Sariel."

I had a problem. But by the fountain, I kicked Sariel the dead body and put my hand on its fine neck. I could have killed her, knowing that I was one of my countrymen who had suffered from Hell's human experiments.

"Break the neck bone, just before that, I found out... that Sariel's identity was someone I knew in my hometown"

"Gentiles, are you"

I summon, Sariel is reincarnated, and the situation is subtly different, but it's the same as coming to this other world.

"Even the same Japanese, if it were someone else in red, I could still, still kill them. But I didn't... I couldn't... I couldn't kill the person who saw my face, at least a little, I exchanged words with her..."

I'm sorry. I can only apologize for my weakness.

Whatever the word of forgiveness, it will not return. Both Lily and Fiona, pierce the silence.

So, was it ten or twenty seconds wrapped up in silence? It was Lily who broke the silence.

"Name it, Sariel. Who you were."

The jade gaze pierces Saliel with a blade sharpness. Still, Saliel, a puppet-like with no emotions, responded instantly. Like answering Ursula's petty questions, without precipitation. No stray.

"My name is Sayuko Shirazaki. A sophomore attending Municipal Sakuragi High School, the same as Mahogany Kurono. Likewise, he belongs to the Ministry of Literature and Arts. In Japan, he was a common student with no specific abilities or status."

"Yes, Chrono and... the same... were you, really, just acquainted?

"Sayuko Shirazaki had a one-sided romantic affection for Mahogany Kurono. In fact, on the day of the summons, she had summoned Mahogany Kurono and was about to confess. But the moment I uttered a word of love, neither I nor he, performed a summons to another world -"

"Enough."

To Lily's words of restraint, Saliel stopped talking to Pittari, as he had pressed the Stop DVD player button.

Once again, the silence returns. Dark, painful, silent like the bottom of the ocean.

"So in the end, you missed stabbing Todome, Mr. Chrono"

"Oh, I can't help it."

"No, it's not a wack I'm blaming you for. Mr. Krono on the boulder, but it must have been a very troubled, painful, bitter decision."

A word of understanding pierces my heart instead. But the scariest thing is that Fiona's expression doesn't change as if it were normal.

Sleepy, blurry, nowhere to fuck. Its familiar face, however, is now as if it were a transcendent goddess, unintentional, such as the suffering of man. In her heart, I have no idea.

What is the word backwards, are you angry? Or do you think it doesn't matter that you've done all your heart's love to my pitiful body already? It's not a strange vibe, even if I'm gone and I'll never see you again.

"But you lived with it a lot."

"... Sariel has no more hostility. Because I lost all my power as an apostle, all my protection."

"After the battle, it seemed like he was lurking in the village of Iles, but he was betrayed and didn't get snitched, so he was safe, so the truth is, what is it?"

The most suspicious part, but Fiona shows convincing as nothing. Sure, if Sariel had two hearts, he'd be free to keep me alive and kill me. Safe survival to Sparda is above all a testament to trust... but still, it won't be so easy to convince.

"But for once, I'll ask, what have you thought and acted upon?

Now Fiona's golden gaze pierced Saliel. To this too, she answers flat at her usual rate, without shaking anything.

"It is the will of Yuriko Shirazaki that gives me a clear course of action, freed from the will of God. I want to do what she wants."

"Why?

"I don't know. But my desire to fulfill Shirazaki's will does exist."

"Do you love Mr. Chrono?

"It's not me who loves Mahogany Kurosaki, but Liriko Shirazaki. I can understand what feelings love is, but I can't feel it. I don't think I can love someone with a missing human emotion."

"Really? You can have sex without love."

Fiona's already noticed. With that one word, there's plenty to observe.

Is that true? In the first place, I came up with that method because of what Fiona said. Tell me yourself, you can't possibly not even notice.

"What is it, Mr. Lily? I've been asking you all these questions."

"... what"

One turn. Fiona's gaze turns to Lily, who shuts up right next door. Indeed, Lily suddenly stops talking and Fiona holds the lead in the story.

"The truth is, don't you have more to ask?

"The approximate situation is now clear… what Krono might want to do about Sariel."

"Really? Okay, I'll listen."

The golden eyes reflect me. Speaking other than the truth is somewhere mysteriously glowing, just because you never forgive me.

"How did Mr. Krono take protection from Sariel?

Oh, fine, Fiona. I'll tell you what. I won't lie or mislead.

"It's..."

"Stop."

It was Lily who stopped it.

"Stop. No, that's enough..."

Stay down, Lily, crushing like a rumor. I don't see the look on her face.

"... Lily"

"Please, Chrono... don't tell me..."

Lily's voice that's going to disappear. I'm trembling. Are you crying, Lily?

"Are you scared, Mr. Lily?"

Some chilled Fiona's voice sounded slightly louder.

"I'm the same. But this is what we need to hear. No one else, from Mr. Chrono's mouth, directly -"

Bright white Fiona's hands stretch out to Lily next door. Softly, she held Lily like a glass worker who was gentle and was about to break and scatter brittle.

A little sister trembling with grief, like a sister holding her gently. But why not? Fiona's hand, entangled in shivering Lily, looked like a fiercely poisoned white snake.

"Come on, let me hear it, Mr. Chrono. Your sins, everything."

"Hmm!

Fiona's hand was blocking Lily's mouth.

No one stops my penance at the earliest opportunity.

"If we lose purity, Saliel loses his apostolic credentials. That's why I... offended Sariel."
