Kuro no Maou

"... Shh."

Lily, off Fiona's hands, tried to get herself on the table and said.

"Lying... right, Chrono..."

In the large, open eyes, the circular jade eyes shake.

"I'm not lying. It's all true."

Would it be my thoughts to feel betrayed, betrayed, before Lily with a desperate look of amazement?

No, my confession of sin would mean more profound betrayal than simply making use of my resentful enemies.

Still, I've been dressed up in front of Lily. At first, don't bother. The thought quickly turned into something that I would not let down.

Naturally. Lily is the first girl I've been friends with in this other world. All of a sudden he fell into the woods, and he helped me. He baked me care to live with him. Then we kept fighting together the whole time. Without Lily, I wouldn't know how many times I'd be dead.

That's her. I don't want to be disappointed. You want to show me the good part, you'll think.

Common sense, good sense, calm down, make no difference in the judgment of good and evil. I thought to myself, I would be good. At least, Lily should have believed me. My justice. I guess that's why you've been following me.

But there's no justice for me right now.

"I'm not asking you to forgive me. I don't care what you yell at me. I have a consciousness that I've done all that."

"Lie, no... why..."

Wordless. Lily's appearance leaking pointless twinkles out of her mouth hurts helplessly.

That's okay, Lily. You don't have to believe me anymore. Blame me. It's all my fault. Scold me, you suck.

So, please, Lily. Don't suffer.

"Oh, why, why... you're alive -"

That's when the light flashed. Red, looks like it was light.

"- Meteor Sword (Starsword) Huh!" Antares "Huh!!

By the time I realized, I already had Lily in front of me.

Wearing the brilliance of a vibrant fairy junction (Oracle Field), her figure is a girl. On his shaken right hand is gripped a special light blade (force edge) that burns out even steel armor easily.

Lily's intention to kill, transformed into a true figure in a flash and with the meteor sword (starsword) 'Antares' in her hands, is indisputable and authentic.

Already, her body has lightly ridden on the table, shaking down a brilliant blade on the Red Lotus as it is.

The other end of the cut wasn't me - it was Saliel.

"... stop, Lily"

I'll stop the crimson blade right there. Keep your bare hands and succeed in taking Sariel's brain at close range of tens of centimeters.

He noticed the unintended blow of divine speed in "The Thunder Demon King (Overaccelerator)" and was stopped from burning blades even with his bare hands in "The Steel Demon King (Overgear)". It is a force move that activates two protections in a row.

Still, really critical. Sariel would have been two straight vertically if it had been even a second before he could see through the comma.

For that matter, the person (Sariel) at the time of the attack remained sitting faceless without moving one eyebrow. It's like you knew I was going to stop you.

"How can you stop, Chrono!

"Please, pull the sword, Lily!

"If Chrono can't kill you, I'll kill you instead...... because this woman just lives and just torments Chrono!!

"No, no!

It's my will everywhere to keep Sariel alive. I don't know how many times in that cabin I've denied a word I wanted Sariel dead.

So, Lily, no. I couldn't kill Sariel because I just didn't want to get my hands dirty.

Or even if I thought so unconsciously myself... I can't forgive myself for letting Lily replace the dirty guy on my shoulder.

Is that because I thought of it reflexively? Lily, through telepathy, may have figured out how much I felt. So he pulled the blade.

"But because... why, Chrono... you know..."

In Lily's hand standing up on the table, the crimson sword is gone. Has the intention of killing subsided? No, I don't feel it now, but it doesn't necessarily have to explode again.

It's obvious from the look on her face that Lily's heart shows chaos, even if I don't have telepathy. Never seen it before. Where Lily's face is so anxious and shaky.

"There was no other way. At that time, Saliel was dying, but with the power of the Apostle, he would recover overnight. There was no more hostility toward Sariel, who regained Shirazaki's memory, but he might be able to kill me against his will."

It's all a lie. How easy would it be to say that? If you're Lily right now, I think you're gonna believe me, even if it's a clear lie. If that's what I say. If I wanted to.

"I should have killed you. For me, for my people, for Sparta, the Seventh Apostle Saliel is an enemy to be killed. I knew that... but I wanted it. I wanted him to be alive, and I couldn't help it."

Is it sincere to fulfill not to lie to make it easier? Maybe I just want to confess.

The guilt of lying, hiding sins, and all this time, deceiving Lily. Don't you just want to get away from that stuff?

"But this woman is no longer the Silasaki Yuriko I know of Chrono! That 'thought control device (Enseling)' created it, another personality, just another person... I don't know how people feel, a less than human doll, yet..."

"I know. Even I know that."

"I don't know. Yikes! Then why are these doll women - Chrono is more important to remember than me!?

Oh, well. Maybe so. Even though Shirazaki knew her self had been lost a long time ago, she wanted to help her (Sariel) only to remember the day she lived.

"I'm so sorry, Lily... I don't think I was strong enough to get rid of all my past"

"Yeah, no... not bad, Chrono, not bad..."

Lie down, Lily. At the end of its eyes, a large grain of tears finally seeps in.

"That's okay, Lily. Blame me."

"Not bad, Chrono is not bad..."

One step, Lily goes on the table.

"So the truth is, it's all, it's a lie, right?

Two, three steps - a table that's not even as big as that. So, the path to tread breaks.

Still, Lily's body, which takes the fourth step regardless, naturally falls into the front. The lack of hesitation is as if you truly believe that I will take it in front of you.

"... I'm not lying"

In fact, I held Lily upright as she jumped into my chest. As always, a strange angelic body that doesn't make you feel the right weight to look at.

Small, thin, soft. But I feel a definite presence in my arms.

"Lie, it's a lie... because Chrono is sweet... to keep Sariel from being the bad guy, right?

With moist eyes, Lily looks up at me. She stretches out her hand as she squeezes in her chest.

A warm, but dubiously bright white palm touched to envelop my cheek whether blood was coming through.

"No, really, it's not a lie. It's all my fault."

"It's okay, you don't have to lie to me. Because I'm a fairy, so I can tell the truth. I can see Chrono's memory."

Lily's face, approaching. As if, even a kiss.

But my lips never overlap.

Touched each other, forehead. It is the telepathic and legible aptitude distance that most others' brains (coco).

At this zero distance in contact with each other, a telepathic ability as good as Lily's would look easy. A very recent piece of memory in my mind, etc.

Even if I try to hide it, I can't hide it.

The moon of darkness 24th. Holy Night (Holy Night). Inside Lily's cabin, I was driven by madness and pleasure to hold a bloody sariel.

Oh, no.

That's all, no.

Seen. Everything, seen - even if I can confess my sins, my heart can't stand to be 'seen' it.

Now at this moment, the instant swelling up in my chest is so repentant that I can't help it.

Naturally. The fourth blessing, "The Demon King of Love (Over Ecstasy)," is like seeing me literally turned into a kedamom, attacking Saliel with no mercy or mercy on his missing limbs on the bed, standing at the scene. That's what I mean when they read memories completely.

"- Stop it!!

Just for a moment. But I did get 'seen'. I felt that way.

I scream, along with so much rejection that I'm going to freak out. No, that's not all.

"Ah."

Somewhere sadly vain Lily's voice reached her ear that

So, notice. That I was pushing Lily.

Regrettably, it's too late. She falls on her back as if she has forgotten how to fly in the sky. d, a much duller sound echoed.

"Li, Lili......"

Without even taking the reception, Lily is falling straight from her back to the floor. Hit him hard in the head, and as if he had passed out, he wouldn't even move with Pickle.

What have I done? Sometimes, I raised my hand to Lily.

She's protected by a fairy junction (Oracle Field) that makes no sense at all, such as a physical shock to the extent that she fell, but it's not about good because there's no damage, or anything like that. I pushed Lily with my own hand, and the action itself is a sin.

Guilt spreads through my heart like ink poured into the water. Not long after I thought about it, there was a perception that it was an unacceptable act in me to say words of apology reflexively.

But the words from there don't go on.

……

Sorry, sorry. Further on, you should make a caged apology. Are you okay or are you hurt? You should care about her body when she falls. Can you stand? With that said, reach out and hold me up - I can't do it very much right now. I can't touch Lily. I can't get close.

Yeah, I mean, because I'm rejecting Lily. I can't help but want to keep her from reading my mind.

Only being able to see the memories of that time is absolutely unbearable. Nobody else, just Lily.

"... Chrono"

Lily calls my name.

How does she see me as a relentless thrust, not even trying to wake her up to help, just standing still silently?

Disturbed platinum long hair spreads beautifully onto the floor. He opened his eyes wide and his jade eyes swayed with a sudden look of self-loss. I do this terrible thing, I'm not (Chrono), I don't know what you think.

I just fell, my body's safe. But is her mind... is she keeping her sanity?

Just a glimpse of that night's memory, though. And then I kicked your ass. To betray 'Chrono', which she would believe, is too, too much.

"Chrono... lying... ugh, ahhh..."

Without a doubt, Lily would have understood the truth. I'm not a good person, like the fairy likes me. Of all the people who paint their desires, they jump through and they're ugly, they're the worst.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!

Lily cried.

This is the second time I've made her cry. I cried so hard that I couldn't even find the words to call.

"Ah, Lily!?

Fuwari, and as if suddenly regained his ability to fly, Lily's body, which fell on the floor, floated and rose. In the next moment I thought so, Lily ran out, covering her hands to hide her sniveling crying face.

She can't rush over to me anymore. Heading in the opposite direction. Lily wanted it herself and had chosen to escape the scene.

Soon after I say the words to hold him back, Lily leaves the room. Because of the momentum, even the front door may have popped out already and disappeared into the darkness of a dark night.

We need to find it.

Not one or two, I thought so.

"Wait, Mr. Chrono"

"Don't stop, Fiona! Lily..."

"Go, what are you going to do?

Ruthless words of restraint like no shards of humanity. But I'm not allowed to argue with you.

Go, what do we do? What am I gonna tell her if I catch up with Lily running away crying?

"There isn't, can't believe you can tell Mr. Lily"

"Knock..."

Fiona walks up to me quietly.

"It's okay, because Mr. Lily is not the age she seems. I'm not in any danger when I'm alone."

"That's not the problem. You can't leave Lily alone like this!

"Neither Mr. Chrono nor I, nor anyone else, have any words to say to Mr. Lily right now. Forgive me or not. Admittedly or inadmissibly… because it is for her to judge herself"

I think Fiona has a point.

But seeing Lily like that, you're absolutely right, and I'm not very comfortable letting her go. Even though I have a sense of rejection for Lily, I feel purely worried about her.

"Still, I told Lily..."

"Unfortunately, Mr. Chrono, you don't deserve to be comforted by Mr. Lily."

"I know, that's not true. I'm the cause of all this."

"No, you don't"

What, you still think I have more than this?

If you notice, Fiona is also standing right in front of you. Somewhat closer. The more breathtaking it seems.

"Because Mr. Chrono has no idea how Lily feels."

"... what do you mean,"

"I haven't noticed, should I? Mr. Lily is good at hiding his mind. Nonetheless, Mr. Chrono is a little, I think, dull."

What the hell is Fiona talking about?

I still care about Lily all the time. He's the longest dating guy in this other world, buddy. My mind and body became one, and I merged.

Still, how many things did I not understand about her?

"- Mr. Lily loves Mr. Chrono."

The nuances of that dialogue are not so dull as not to be seen. But understanding and convincing, it's like I can't keep up.

"What... and..."

"Of course, as heterosexual. It's not love, it's friendship, it's indisputable, it's romantic."

Did Lily like me?

I didn't know you liked me. But I didn't doubt that I felt the same way about Lily.

"So it's dull, Mr. Chrono."

Like you saw my heart, Fiona says.

"If you think about it, it's not that hard to talk about, is it? So far, men and women have been acting at the same party."

Adventurer party working with heterosexuals. Too natural an environment to develop into a romantic relationship. Neither does the guild recommend partying among heterosexuals of the same ethnicity because of the very high risk of getting along because of it.

I never applied such common sense to myself.

Why not? Me and Lily were confident that wouldn't happen. No, I don't consider myself that much of a saint prince. So I'm sure that was pure, trust in Lily.

Now I'm reminded of how irresponsible trust that was.

"Lily has been talking about me..."

"Yeah, long before you met me, you thought,"

Why, why not. Is that what makes you think that, after all, because I'm dull? It wasn't Sariel who didn't know how people felt, it was me?

Lily and I have been together ever since we met in the Fairy Forest (Fairy Garden). Life in the village of Iles was peaceful in itself, especially, not that something had happened. Lily was originally strong, and there was no obstacle to living even as a child.

I've always been taken care of, and I can't even show her one good thing about being a man.

Peace and swallowing everywhere, rank one adventurer life - no, is that why? Even if there's nothing special about it, it's just being together, isn't a person something you can fall in love with?

"Mr. Chrono seems to think he betrayed his trust as a companion, but that's a total misunderstanding. You betrayed Lily's love."
