Kuro no Maou

"... Fiona has known for a long time"

"Yeah, when I went to the party, I noticed."

Not from the beginning, is it? Oh, my God, I didn't know Fiona had noticed how Lily felt almost from the first time we met... until then, when we lived together for three months, I wouldn't be on a level where I really didn't have a word of bluntness.

"Damn... how could I... Lily..."

Now I feel like I've lost my word against her. What am I supposed to say and apologize for? I can't help but feel sorry for people to tell me how they feel at this time.

If I hadn't realized it myself, it wouldn't have made sense.

No, still, it wouldn't have been possible for me, ever. Anyway, even in the favor of Leki and Ursula, I noticed it only after it was the last moment of leaving the village.

"Mr. Chrono, would you like to go after Mr. Lily?

I wouldn't deserve that right now. However, it is.

"Oh...... once I know, I can't keep my mouth shut anymore"

Do I love Lily? Whether I like it as heterosexual or not, I don't really feel it.

If I had noticed, I would have had too close a relationship with her.

Still, you must cherish it like your sister. At least, I can't possibly leave her crying.

I'm looking for Lily.

I won't let you.

I just returned my heel to exit the room, with a mild impact on my back. Because of that feeling, Fiona seems to be holding it from behind. I could see her white hands spinning from behind, overlapping around my belly.

"Why stop?"

"Hey, Mr. Chrono. For example, if I left here crying too much of a shock, would Mr. Chrono come after me?

The intent of the question is as if I knew.

"What, are you saying something stupid? Come on, we need to find Lily."

"What do you think? Which would you choose, me or Mr. Lily?

Fiona had listened so calmly. In the first place, I think what I did to Sariel, I've been trying to figure it out since we were reunited.

So over this period, it's too hard to imagine Fiona crying out in shock just like Lily.

"What the hell, Fiona? It's not like we're talking about this right now."

"If you can't answer, well, that's fine. Whatever, I can't help but move in a hurry right now. Because Mr. Lily will need time to be alone. Mr. Krono has experience, right?

When they say that, I have to nod.

Life in Sparda, which began after the Alsace defensive battle and sank to the bottom of his disappointment. Only the first time I was able to put up a void. My tiny sense of justice was shot to pieces by wood dust when I met with a surviving evacuee.

At that time, thanks to Mia's immediate appearance, I also sorted out my mind, and most importantly, I had hope. But without it, it's clear I would have had more than that time to get back on my feet.

Or, really, I could have changed. To a ruthless, selfish and, above all, cowardly character that trumps all but his dear companions without omitting them.

"Okay...... tonight, let's leave Lily alone"

At the same time he nodded, Fiona's hand broke away. I thought so, now I'm going to be circled in front. I don't hug you, but close proximity to intimacy. I had Fiona's mysterious beauty on my chest.

"Even I'm in shock, Mr. Chrono. Not as good as Mr. Lily. It's just that I'm a little bit more rational than she is."

"Sorry, right..."

Just because I know, it would be a different matter of whether that is forgivable or not. I think even Fiona followed me this far because she trusted me so much.

My actions, both as a companion and as a woman, will be unforgivable.

"Yes, Mr. Chrono, you suck."

For the first time, a cursing word pierces my heart.

Whether you know it yourself, admit it, or still, if you say it again, you're in uninterrupted shock.

"Having helped the Apostle, who is the enemy, with only unsolicited personal emotions. Having chosen rape by virtue of it as a way of extinguishing the protection. Sariel's beauty confused me into caging my hands, and there's no excuse."

Sure, if I know where I work, that's the only way the world will receive it. As it turns out, Sariel and I are familiar with each other even when it comes to our hometown. Never, not a lover, not a couple.

No, even if it was me and Shirazaki who accompanied us for years... the relationship between the two of us, etc. is unproven.

I brought back Saliel, my apostle, alive. It's just that this fact won't spare you the sleigh against me.

"If Mr. Chrono had realized sooner, Lily's feelings, or his decision to kill Sariel, he could have done so"

It's just a hypothetical story everywhere, but still, it seems unlikely.

If I had realized Lily's favor, how would I have been? I don't even have to think about it. There's no way I won't respond to that feeling.

If I had a lover named Lily, would I have killed Sariel that day? Think about it, you won't get an answer right away. Still, there will certainly be more hammers in the balance that will not least question Saliel's life and death, making him lean toward murder.

"Sariel should have killed. Whatever the reason, Mr. Krono, who couldn't kill you, has all the other things."

"Oh... it's mine, because I'm what I am"

The value of keeping Sariel alive is all equal to zero before that danger. Now coincidence overlapped, and only Saliel was able to extinguish the blessing, and with the blessing of the 'Dark Knight Freesia', the possibility of being resurrected as an apostle was completely crushed.

But it would be a serious act of treason, inherently enough to put Sparda itself in crisis. That's what keeping the Apostle alive is all about. There is a difference between allowing Lienfeld to escape and cloud mud in the level of danger.

"Yes, Mr. Chrono pushed that selfishness through. Even Mr. Lily's feelings, until he betrayed you."

Exactly.

I still don't want to kill Sariel. Even if I didn't feel that way myself, in the peace between the bundles I spent in Pioneering Village, my heart must have already wanted to tolerate Sariel's presence.

……

Even at a time like this, I see Sariel with an unfamiliar expression. Me and Fiona are standing up, but only Koitsu stays in his seat as adultly as the beginning.

What the hell is Saliel thinking in this chaotic situation?

"Turn around, Mr. Chrono."

Fiona's white hand touches her cheek and is forced forward. The golden eyes that are about to be inhaled are right in front of you.

"Ugh... sorry..."

"Is this woman that important?"

Rather than being stared at, it's as if it's being tested. Tron half-eyed, as always, but felt so.

"Oh... Lily's right, I've chosen memories. There are no shards left of Mr. Shirazaki's face on Sariel. It's just like a shell out... but still, I don't want Sariel to die. I decided to protect him."

"Really, that's the worst answer. Again, you suck."

Well, look at Fiona exhaling one little sigh, I get it.

Now he says' Element Master 'is dissolved.

Fiona wouldn't let me. In the first place, there's nowhere to be forgiven. This, too, is what I knew. Ready, it would have been.

"I'm so sorry, Fiona. That's it, we're done... Huh?

Unexpectedly, Fiona's face approached. By the time you think that, the distance is zero already.

Soft. Lips, overlapping.

"Hey, what..."

After Fiona's face left me as if nothing had happened, I understood that I had been kissed.

"Mr. Chrono sucks. But I forgive you."

"... Huh?

A dumb voice leaks. Finally, I don't know what that means. In the first place, I can't get my head around Matomo anymore just because Fiona kissed me.

Dokun, and my heart is beating, I can tell for myself.

"I forgive you. Do you know why?

"How..."

"Well, because I love you, it's decided."

I wonder what I look like now.

The truth is, didn't you understand right away?

I've been kissed. To Fiona. If it's not the wacko you're joking about, it's already been proven first.

"Mr. Krono, I love you so much"

It was a real confession.

Before going to the Galahad war, as Elina told me, Fiona's words are so straightforward and so obvious that there are no misunderstandings.

"Oh, no, Fiona... oh, I..."

I couldn't get an instant answer. I feel sorry for you everywhere, but still, I can't do what I can't.

When I was Elina, I immediately turned her down. If you guide her through herself and her future, there's no room for troubling choices.

But how about now?

Fiona even went out with me in the showdown with Sariel. Without her, I would have lost in Galahad. against the Apostle, he would have had no hands or feet.

In the first place, I was athe her power in the battle ahead. Fiona is a difficult companion to travel with on the battlefield of hell washing blood with the Crusaders.

Such a person is the same person as me, and a very beautiful girl. I've been acting with Fiona so far, and there's no limit to what I've been made to do. If I hadn't been such a jerk, I might have pushed you over.

In short, that a girl named Fiona is too rare to date a mad warrior like me (otoko). If you were, you should bow your head from me and confess.

But why didn't you ever wake up like that? Because Lily was there.

Why is it so distressing that Fiona confesses to me now that I can't hold my breath more than I'd like to? Lily's here.

Lily found out she loved me. And Fiona also says she loves me.

"Choose, you mean..."

"Yes."

Cruel words of affirmation. No lies, no deception, no forgiveness.

"Pick Me"

Is it an aspiration or an order? Again, Fiona's face approaches.

"Ma, stay!

The second kiss stopped right there.

I didn't punch her into the boulder, but I put my hand on her shoulder and push her back to pull it off.

"In me, shouldn't I?

"No, it's not about being able or not to be,"

I don't know what you're talking about. But I didn't think it was okay to kiss him while he was being flushed.

"Mr. Lily will not forgive Mr. Chrono. No, I can't allow Saliel to exist, should I? If Mr. Lily returns, I will point the blade again."

It's just speculation. Even Lily will understand if you calm down and think calmly... that is a convenient hopeful observation for me.

"But I forgive. Fine, if you don't want to kill Sariel, so be it. If you want to keep it alive and on hand, then let's tolerate it, too. It's not that easy to forgive, but still, I can stand it - if you're going to be my lover."

Unforgivable, forgive. Is that what love can do?

Fiona's words are filled with love for me. Do you think so? So far, do you think?

You should take it that way, but I don't know why, it just sounds like I'm being held hostage and threatened and complained about.

"If I don't... choose Fiona, what happens"

"Confidence that you can turn me and Mr. Lilli against the enemy and protect Sariel out, are you?

My spine freezes.

It feels familiar to me that I have repeatedly fought for my life. But I've never felt this before, even though I don't have a crisis over my life.

Fiona, I mean it.

"Choose me, Mr. Chrono. That way, I can give you everything you want."

Is there such a sweet, threatening complaint?

You can't give in. Instinct whispers so.

Don't give up. There's got to be a better way. That's what reason shouts.

"Because I love you so much. I can forgive you, as many times as you want."

Fiona's hand reaches out to my face again. I can't prevent that. My arms don't even move pickly as if I had grabbed her shoulder and ate it with a petrified demon's eye.

"Come on, answer me, Mr. Chrono"

Three times, Fiona's face looms. Keep following your prey with obsession, like a beast.

But the face of this girl, who makes threats as she talks about her love for me, was beautiful, no matter how many times she saw it.

A little, I can't believe it myself. I wondered, with such a beautiful girl, if I ever kept fighting.

From the time I met her one early summer day, sleeping defenselessly beside the twilight streets, my previous memories of surviving Alsace, living in Sparda, and coming to the Galahad showdown, were pompous and behind my brain.

Always, at all times, turning a sleepy expression on her, I...

"Okay, Fiona. Let's hang out. No, if it's me like this, why don't you hang out? From now on, I'm not just a buddy, I'm a lover."

"Yes, Mr. Chrono"

That's how I accept a second kiss.

Her face, tears, seemed overflowing as she layered her lips obsessively.
