Kuro no Maou

In the morning, when I woke up, I already didn't see Fiona. Does it feel like the area around my face was a little sticky because I was even pranked out of my wake?

Nevertheless, I feel slightly refreshed when I sleep overnight. The troubles, the problems have not been solved, but still, the vitality returns to the body. Or maybe it was Fiona who accompanied me to bed that had a more relaxing effect than I expected. You mean thoughtfully, it was worth trying to sweeten?

But in the end Lily never came back in the morning. Maybe he's not going back to us for a while, more than he didn't return overnight.

What a disillusionment, but still, another new day has begun.

"Well, come on in, Mr. Chrono"

"Oh, 'cause we should be back by evening"

Finish breakfast inconvenience - no, there was an incident where Fiona would go into stopping Saliel from eating naturally, but anyway, I was all set and out of the dorm.

Then, for the first time in my life, I experienced the reality of "I'm coming to kiss you".

Okay, calm your floating feelings and I'll head straight to my destination. Even so, that's a distance that doesn't take five minutes to walk. It is a dormitory dedicated to executive candidates, located on the grounds of the seminary.

"Speaking of which, was this the first time you've been here directly"

I'm visiting, of course, my best friend Will. Nothing short of Wilhardt Tristan Sparda, the second prince of Sparda.

"- Anyway, get back safe. Best of all, it's Chrono."

It was also worth visiting in the early hours before class, and I didn't have to go in differently or wait, so I had my first reunion with Wilhardt in a long time.

Wilhardt, who is truly impressed by the reunion, and is delighted with tears all the time, also seems to have regained his composure for one while I went up to my room and made my maid Celia serve me tea. When I see this kind of overreaction, I feel reassured that it really hasn't changed.

Because the relationship of my "Element Master" has changed too much.

"For once, let me ask you, are classes good?

"Phew, from ancient times." Friends, go home from the battlefield. It's not easy again. "Classes don't stop us from celebrating the survival of our friends!

To Will in the grand skip declaration, as a serious high school student, I'd like to take one of my precautions, but I'd be more grateful for that now.

"Well, that would help. Hey, it's gonna be a long story."

"Um, let's hear as much as we can. As far as I'm concerned, I have a lot to ask."

So, Will and I were supposed to calm down and talk.

The dorm dedicated to executive candidates is well built, unlike our borough shop, so you don't have to worry about the conversation slipping out unless you even shout it out.

Strongly put, the escort maid Celia is present with a natural face, so she's going to be listening... well. Anyway, I won't keep it a secret for long.

After I cut it off so much, first of all, the end of the Galahad war and the fact that it was flown with metastatic magic. That he lurked in Pioneering Village until the snow melted and then returned to Sparda. Explain the obvious.

"Hmm, you mean, generally, as we expected? I got a letter from Chrono informing me that you were safe, Lily, because you told me too."

I'm sure he let me know when he got back to Sparda to gear up his' Predator Coat 'or something.

"But what bothers me most... what the hell happened to that greatest enemy, the Seventh Apostle Saliel? Did you lock him up? Or did you miss it?

"Oh, about that, I need to talk to Will. I mean, this is what we're talking about today."

"Hmm, what do you mean?

"Sariel caught him alive. He's in my dorm now."

"Nah, nah... nah - mugg!

Wilhardt's mouth, which seemed to cry out loud, was blocked by two hands: my hand and Celia's hand, which had stretched from side to side.

"Excuse me, Master Will. We can't divulge what we're talking about."

"Mmm... mmm"

Will making a slightly painfully OK gesture. In the meantime, you calmed me down, so both me and Celia let go.

"I'll tell you something first, I have no hostility toward Sariel today, and I have no ability to be an apostle. Instead, he is awakened to the protection of the 'Dark Knight/Freesia'"

"... you don't have to worry about escape, do you?

"Oh, if you're going to run, you're running away a long time ago. Besides, Sariel could have done it anytime she wanted to put my neck on."

"No way, we lived together for three months... with the enemy general"

Well, don't let that happen, I snort back deeply.

"Hmm, then, I don't know. Chrono, why do you leave the messenger, the enemy, alive?

Naturally, the question will go there.

Honestly, a series of streams in keeping Sariel alive is not a pleasant memory that I want to tell people so many times as far as I'm concerned. Lily's crying and getting away with it makes me feel half traumatized to talk about this already, but still, I need an explanation of the circumstances.

In the meantime, I'm still comfortable talking to Will the same man, and most importantly, I already know the circumstances under which I was summoned from another world. It will be quick to talk.

"Actually, who is Sariel?"

And now it's time for me to reveal everything.

"- Ugh, ku... oh, my God... I didn't know there was such a circumstance... come on, it would have been hard!

As a result, Will cried in tears and took great sympathy for my condition.

What a man worthy of friends, on the other hand I'm glad, I feel so sympathetic and yet so bad.

"It's hard, well, it's been a great worry, and now, there's an inseparable part of it. But Saliel was an apostle, and he was the commander of the Crusades. You can't keep it hidden the whole time. We need to decide what to do with Sariel first."

"Um, um... I see you're the one to talk to. Oh, okay! Well done. You relied on me, everything, I'll take care of it! Wilhardt Tristan Sparda with this gray brainchild will lead you to the answer you want!!

What a reliable reply. For some reason Will stood up once and said grandiose, the cloak was nimble, the monocle glowed and looked like a tremendously intelligent cutter character.

"So, the truth is, what am I supposed to do?

"First of all, confirmation, but in whatever form, we only need to be able to keep Mr. Sariel, the Crusader prisoner, beside you".

"Oh, that's what's best...... isn't it pretty, hard? I heard the Eighth Apostle Eye was sealed in the Royal Castle."

Will gave me a detailed supplementary explanation of how the eye was and what was going on until it was sealed.

Eye, captured in Galahad, said hostage negotiations and treatment in the country would be determined by the military's trial because of his special status as an apostle, but King Leonhardt, aware of the dangers of his power, gave the royal decree to seal it immediately to the royal castle.

I think it's okay to bring him to the royal castle or something in the middle of Sparda, but some people know that the lowest level of the dungeon there is the most robust prison in the country. There, the construction is fundamentally different from a normal barn, where mere steel and magic seal formations were carved.

What a stoppage of time the 'prison' uses part of the ancient ruins as they are... Apparently. Because modern magic technology has not been able to precisely elucidate its principles and effects. It is unclear what the details are, but those put in that cell stop altogether as time has stopped, and find themselves in a state where they are unable to move or even think.

Because it looks trapped in a huge chunk of ice, it is named after the icy hell passed down to ancient mythology and called the 'Narrow Room of Coquitos'.

In the meantime, it seems that Eye, sealed in such a large prison, is occasionally only 'thawed' in the head, interrogating little by little about the Crusades and the Apostles. It is expected that it will only take a few moments to successfully extract the information from him.

"Even though Sariel also lost his protection, it makes no difference that he was an apostle. Like an eye, I don't know if I'm going to get stuck in the" Coquitos Narrow "with or without it."

"No, aren't you saying that now Mr. Sariel is left with only his left arm and missing both arms and legs? Whatever it is, if it bears so much serious illness, it will not be as urgent as the immediate sealed royal life comes down. As an army, we want information about our enemies, so if possible, we must keep it open for conversation."

If I knew that with armored hands and feet, I could move around freely with the lightning attributes of protection and blackening, would the response change? Well, it's not a wack that suddenly regenerates your hands and feet, and there's as much of a hand punch as there is.

"At least there will be a review of the protection by the clergy of the Temple of Pandora. So if we can prove the protection of the 'Dark Knight Freesia', we can be even less alert."

"But isn't that going to be as different as going into a narrow room, into a regular cabin?

"Um, it's from here that matters. In the treatment of Mr. Saliel, we do not wait very long for Shah. Chrono, you must wish for yourself, my father King Leonhardt."

You sue the king... don't be nervous.

"What, it's not even enough to worry about that. Because you are a member of the Fourth Team" Gladiator "- Celia, bring me the third step from the top of the bookshelf, the fourth and seventh from the right, and the third left from the bottom."

Without even looking at the larger bookshelves occupying a good volume in the room, Will was giving instructions. That means, no way, you remember the position of all the books. Is it a great memorization or a great few aspects? Either way, awesome.

"Are you sure you want to do this in three books:" FY96 All Sparda Law, "" Ancient Law Interpretation II/Upper Volume, "and" Dungeon Attack/Succubus Hall Edition Full of Dodgy, Big Tit Elves "?

"Bullshit, you idiot! Don't include the steps you're hiding! It is third from the normal lower section to the left!!

"Excuse me." Adventurer's Rights Guarantee, Volume III. "

"Um, thank you, first of all, according to this whole Sparda law--"

"Hey Will, I thought I heard a hugely misplaced title right now."

"What are you talking about? As small as a maid's mistake, it's the vessel that keeps her from noticing."

"Well, well... well, well, well, if you like, next time, lend it to me."

"Um, my collection is a selection. Take whatever you want."

Thank you, and I just deepened Will's friendship with the man, and I'll get back to business.

"If a duly requisitioned adventurer, or 'gladiator' crew member, is recognized as having great merit on the battlefield, he or she will have the right to negotiate the merit of war."

Most of all, it would normally be through an officer of the Spartan knight who manages the 'Gladiator', or at most a general who leads the squad, in this case Prince Eisenhardt, but the area would seem to come to the highest position as a negotiator. Well, as active as it was just a little bit, if the king had listened, he wouldn't have Kiri.

"But the martial arts you gave in this battle are so great as to dictate the victory or defeat of our army. We can say that it is comparable to the work of my father, who retained the Dragon King Garvinal in one stroke."

"Oh, yeah? It's nothing that big."

"I'm in trouble if you don't tell me all about this. Warfare negotiations are important to the performance of how you exaggerate your activities. I think humility is your virtue, but it doesn't seem right."

Sure, I don't like that. Will takes a good look at my character.

"It is a clear fact in everyone's eyes that your martial arts are heroic. Even if this one stays silent, there will be so much talk of awarding the title from beyond."

"I'm not going to be a nobleman...... but that's all appreciated, so maybe you can get some selfishness through too"

"Um, this one's got a good chance"

Nodding forcefully, Will continued his words as he opened something like a thick whole hexagonal book that seemed to be Sparda's legal relationship, not the porn book Celia had brought.

"Most fortunately, this one hasn't received any rewards yet. Lily, you and Fiona didn't seem to be anywhere near getting paid for your rescue."

Even though I knew you were safe in the letter, I still wouldn't have exhausted my anxiety. Even for me, I couldn't send out a second letter, and given the danger of being perceived by the Crusaders, I avoided it twice.

Lily said she and Fiona spent three months together, immediately returning to Fortress Galahad after she was ready for rescue in Sparda and the snow melted as it was. Again, it's a story that I feel has put a lot of effort into.

What I enjoyed doing more than that in Pioneering Village becomes quite guilty and overwhelming.

"There are several types of rewards for adventurers. Payment by money is for the most part fundamental, but there are also things like expensive weapons and magic equipment (magic items), big magic equipment (artifacts) in kind, and land and business rights. And, as I mentioned earlier, there have been a number of historical precedents for titles."

There is a precedent, which also means that it is that easy to admit. If there is a similar case to our request, please do the same, I can make the flow.

"But no money, no kind, no rights, no status, it won't just be a condition that will let Saliel go"

"Ha-ha, I'm not in such a hurry, Chrono. I've already found the perfect plan for this negotiation."

"Oh, is that true!

Wow, I knew I was right to take this consultation with Will. If this works, the immediate problem will take about half.

I'm sorry to hear that, but it's not weird when I have holes in my stomach anymore because of stress. As far as I'm concerned, I want to unload my shoulders as soon as possible.

"Hey, the answer is simple ultimate, really simple -"

Huh, and with a perfectly kicked face and angle, Will says off.

- You must accept Mr. Saliel as your slave.
