Kuro no Maou

After successfully purchasing the Curse Hall, we quickly began to prepare for the move.

That said, packing itself is not a big deal for those of us who can use space magic (dimension). At the same time as packing her bags early, the maid Saliel swept around every corner of the dorm, and on the 18th of the month of fresh water, she was in such a state that she was just leaving already.

The next day, the 19th of the month of fresh water. Morning.

"... is this dorm a sayonara today?"

"Thinking about it, I feel a little sorry for you."

We came to Sparda, and less than a month later, we started our lives in this ombolo dorm. Think about it, there was a lot going on.

Make coffee with smudges and emotions.

By the way, my right hand has almost recovered already. Suspicious to fight, but not inconvenient in everyday life. So you can hold a coffee cup with your own skill.

"Mr. Chrono, I'm leaving first. I'm alone today, and there's something I'd like to see around."

That's what Fiona looks like when she takes a seat, not in her personal clothes, but in a witch robe that feels like she's ready for battle. But there's no way she's going out to the dungeon on a solo on purpose either. The only circumstance that comes to mind is one.

"Oh, you're even going to look for workshop tools?

"That's the place."

I went with her yesterday to see the joint furniture and decor that I would put in my new home, but I couldn't help but hang out with the workshop tools that would specialize in witches on boulders. I can't judge an amateur like the good and bad of a cauldron stirring with plenty of boiled suspicious liquid.

Fiona is now one of the top witches in Sparda for both Rank 5 fame. If Fiona goes in this outfit like that, at first glance, she refuses, and even stores like that look handsome.

"Okay, I'm coming"

"Come on in."

"Welcome, Master Fiona"

Sariel's maid appearance has also been feeling a bit natural lately. Because Fiona is too grand, like a muscled lady? It's horrible to get used to it.

"Bad Sariel, can I have it?"

"Yes, Master"

About the last day of dorm life, let's take it easy. If I go to bed this evening, I'm supposed to be out of here by tomorrow morning.

I thought I would see Simon about once before I bought a house in Boulder... apparently still busy, and there's no sign of him coming back here at all. Um, should we ask Will to tell us what happened when we moved?

With that in mind, I turn to this morning's Spartan newspaper.

"Disaster's New Rank 5 Monster" Chaossic Rim, "Appears in Farren, or"

Naturally, the headline that bothered me is a monster in the sixth trials I look for. Pride gems again, chaossic rims.

In the article, unknown yesterday, a chaossic limb and a think-black warcraft-shaped monster appeared in Farren's "Black Forest" and engaged with a Druid unit that was in exercise. After much damage to the troops, dive into the ground and escape. He then appeared in the village around the Black Forest and disappeared again as soon as he fished the pantry.

A massive pursuit by the Knights of Farren was carried out, but the confirmed escape to the western neighboring Partier prompted him to abandon the pursuit near the border. I called attention to each country - the content.

"Partier... don't run further and further away, he is"

Perhaps it would not be strange to cross the border again soon, to go to another country. In the meantime, why don't we take a return trip to the Land Dragon Valley (El Grande Canyon), where Gridgore was?

If that happens, it will be my first expedition... but if I get away with it again, it won't be stylish. A monster with a wide range of actions is tough to chase on people's feet. I wish I could get ahead of it well, but I can't possibly understand the purpose of the monster or anything like that. Why don't you put up a net with a straw or a bee and even ambush it?

Well, for now, let's just say your right arm is back in the book and then we'll think about it against the information. Even if you don't go to the Adventurer's Guild, it's enough to be a newspaper article like this. Chaossic Lim trends will be a search not only of adventurers but also of countries, so more accurate information will be available from now on.

"... oh, this is already the time"

If you notice, you can hear the morning bell starting the seminary homeroom in your ears. I'm going to go to class a few times today. Meet the minimum graduation requirements in a few moments. In that case, it will finally become a complete sayonara with this Royal Sparda Seminary.

Is this the end of my youth?

Well, now I already have a lover named Fiona who can seriously think about the future. Maybe the time has come for me to be a true adult, too.

"Well, I'll be there"

"Yes, Master, welcome aboard"

"... when Fiona isn't around, you can be normal"

"Normal, what?

"No, it's nothing. Never mind."

I knew Sariel wouldn't get used to me. With that in mind, I opened the door to a ragged, badly erected...

"Cah!?

And there, one figure was stuck. Someone was standing right in front of the open door.

"Whoa - oh, that... could it be, Nell?

"Uh, yeah, yeah! Ku, Chrono-kun!?

The person standing in front of me was a witch, ponytailing flowing brunettes. Yeah, this red and white costume is a witch, no matter where you look from.

It's even doubtful why witch clothes exist as commonplace in different worlds, but let's just convince ourselves here that the Earl of the Red Wings made them with hobbies and secretly spread them.

The question is, why did Nell stick up in front of us at Witch Cosplay?

No, would a cosplay call be rude? Honestly, Nell looks so good in her witch clothes. If Nell, a brunette from the beginning, wears authentically made witch clothes that are tailored, not cheap fabrics that are as categorical as bad cosplays, he can't be unsuitable. White wings on the back go hand in hand, and it can be described as divine. It is likely to be worshipped as a divine body in any shrine as it is.

Such a lovely and difficult outfit Nell, but the look of panic matches her everywhere in my memory.

"Uh, what's going on? I should have gone back to Avalon..."

"Ahhh! I... heard Krono-kun returned from the Galahad War... so..."

"Maybe you came all the way here to see me"

"Yes! Me, me... all the time, I've been worried about you Chrono-kun... but I'm glad you're okay... really, I'm not glad you're okay - whoa!

As I was impressed, large tears fall from Nell's blue eyes. Something like a big cry for an inspiring reunion?

I didn't know you were so worried about me, or Nell, a gentle character comparable to a real angel, you could be so worried about me as to cry. For once, I'm going to be my friend.

"Well, I'm safe... you know, for now, up?

With a cocky snort of nell in the whimpering, I was set to return to the dorm without a step outside.

Yeah, this is skipping class today.

What I heard about that reward was going back, about a week ago.

"Nell, I have good news and bad news"

Returning from the Rank 5 dungeon, Avalon, I returned to the Fire Company for the first time in about a month, also reporting on my achievements. So, Mr. Bell suddenly cut out the story that way.

"Ha, ha"

"Let's start with the bad news...... Chrono went missing in the Galahad war"

"Ha!?

To my surprise, I got a weird voice.

Is he missing?

It's a lie, a lie, a lie, a lie... no matter how many bells are allowed to lie like this...

"The good news is that Chrono has been resurrected to Sparda"

"Ha hoo..."

To the extent of so much despair and pretense of hope, this is all I've had left of my body and I've collapsed from my knees.

"Um, Dear Belle... can you tell me more?"

"Um, well, have a cup of tea, and listen carefully"

So for the first time I've heard about the last three months or so.

The Galahad war ends in a Spartan victory after a fierce battle on the 24th of the Dark Moon. However, fighting a very strong enemy general of the Crusades, Krono-kun disappeared from the battlefield in such a way as to discuss it.

When the information itself that the leader of the Rank 5 Adventurer Party 'Element Master' is missing, even in Sparda, is about the beginning of the year, it is said that the sooner we look it up in the Adventurer Alliance, the better we become known.

"I don't know what would happen if I heard this information based on how it went. So I decided to hide it for the first time."

About me, Master Bell doesn't seem to trust me at all. But Krono-kun went missing from the boulder, if I had asked what... I probably would have been the worst thing Belle could have imagined. If you can't contain yourself, you can understand so much that you can't help it.

"I thought if Chrono really deserved rank 5, he would survive on his own or tell them he was safe in the near future... but, um, it was worth the wait."

Lady Bell scraped a hot cup of tea, smudging that she didn't feel alive. Good for you, Master Bell, I need to thank you Chrono-kun for meeting my expectations beautifully.

"Dear Belle, you also suggested that I go to the dungeon, maybe..."

"Um, just to keep the outside information out of sight as much as possible."

After all. If you're out of a cage in the dungeon, you can't even come in with outside information or anything. Besides, if you're passionate about the offense, you'll be oblivious to anything else even when you get back.

Most importantly, not only that, but I think some sort of work had been done to keep the missing information out of my ears around me.

"I thought it was bad, but it's all Nell, that's what I thought. Forgive me."

"No, it's outrageous. Belle's consideration, it hurts."

There is not a single grudge. 'Cause if Chrono-kun came home safe, I can forgive him for everything.

"Oh, uh, Master Bell, I-"

"Well, wait, calm down. I know exactly what you're trying to say."

I knew it, right? But you can't even be patient.

I want to see you.

I want to see Krono-kun.

Yeah, I'm about to fly off to Sparda, even now.

"Phew, with that momentum back in a hurry, will we face you, my dear, who will be reunited for a long time? You look beautiful, Nell."

"Ugh!?

My hair jumped like a piompion and a terrible sleeping habit, with a bloody complexion that kept me running and neighborhood under my eyes, haha I said, "Chrono-kun, welcome back!" My figure floats behind my brain screaming.

Oh, such a reunion... it will not, never, ever be!

"Enough, enough, Nell"

"... Yes"

Anyway, this is how I ended up going to Sparda for the first time in a while.

We have properly greeted our friends at school, including your father, to avoid any noise, and we will keep them further insured by putting up a trustworthy offering from anyone.

And then your brother was back in Avalon at some point, and he seemed to be looking for me... but I can't predict what kind of obstruction work he would go into if he didn't really think about Krono-kun when he found out I was going to see him. This is exactly what Master Bell advised me, unlike a love rival, a bona fide obstructor, something to take.

I'm sorry, but your brother will wait in the royal palace in silence until I reach out to Krono-kun and make a love triumph over Avalon.

"Then Dear Belle, Nell Julius Ellord, I'm going!

"Um, I wish you a long martial arts"

Dressed in witch clothes that became my battle clothes with fame, I began my journey to Sparda, brave as a knight marching to a distant battlefield.

Fortunately, with the weather, the road is well on its own. About half a day ahead of schedule, I arrived at the Nostalgia Sparda. It's as if the black gods, the heavenly healing empress Aria, are supporting me and his reunion with the full output of shelter.

On the day we arrived, the sun was already leaning, so we barely contained the deviant mind while spiritually uniting, and stayed overnight in the royal inn. The next day, I prepare carefully, calm my body and mind thoroughly before heading to a time of need and destiny.

It was over three months ago. I, miserably defeated Mr. Lily, said goodbye to Chrono-kun.

But now I'm not weak enough to be stupidly stuck in the devil's trap and break my heart without staying out.

I'm stronger now. At least, much more than then. It's like healing broken wings and flying into the sky again. Mr. Lily, I'm not afraid anymore. I don't care if the wannabe finds out about Chrono...... I don't mind. Because I believe in Chrono-kun.

If you're Chrono, you'll forgive me.

If you're Chrono-kun, he'll accept.

"Ha... ha... Krono-kun"

The heartbeat goes off and the body gets feverish. Step by step, step by step, every time you approach a seminary.

And when I saw that familiar school building, I ran uncontrollably, diving through the main entrance...

"Wait, princess of Avalon"

"... you are"

"This is the first time you've ever exchanged words with a face. My name is Fiona Soleil. Fiona from" The Element Master, "can you tell?"

It wasn't that abominable, evil fairy girl who stood in front of me, just through the front gate, but a quietly nestled, black witch.

"Yes, I know about you. Sure, this was the first time you talked to me like this... my name is Nell Julius Ellord"

After that, get to know me. I asked her to return such a deliberate introduction.

"So, Mr. Fiona... what can I do for you?"

Be vigilant with all your might. Now I am more filled with tension and vigilance than I am when I precede an undead Kingsguard knight in the realm of divine annihilation.

That would be natural, too. Fiona Soleil. This woman also keeps sitting next to him in dignity, just because she's at the same party as Krono-kun. Even that Mr. Lily, if you think you haven't eliminated it yet, you know how close she is to Krono-kun.

Most importantly, when we met again at that ancient Ischian castle, Krono-kun, like Lily, this woman named Fiona was also exchanging embraces of joy. The jealousy of that time burns up with melameras from the depths of my soul.

"I need to talk to you for a second."

"I'm sorry, but I'm in such a hurry right now. Could you give it another chance?"

But now I can calmly choose to avoid contact with her. It is not a good idea to contend on this occasion.

The fact that she's been speaking out here means she doesn't want to keep me in line with Chrono-kun. It's more like getting into an enemy castle with a round hips, like answering a call without thinking or even taking action.

"While Mr. Chrono was missing, let me tell you"

"Huh!?

But, oh, what do you mean? This woman seemed to have prepared enough bait for me to jump into the trap.

Yes, I'm just satisfied with the fact that Krono-kun has returned safely to Sparda, and I've come this far. I mean, I have no idea the details of his disappearance.

It shouldn't bother you, it doesn't.

"Yes, will you not be vigilant? I expected you to be a friend of Mr. Chrono's, and before I met him, I wanted you to know... don't hurt Mr. Chrono."

"Oh, what the hell happened?"

Fiona, I don't know what she meant. If you just listen to the dialogue, you seem to be saying something much more comprehensible to me than Mr. Lily... but I can't even say enough that this is not a sweet word that draws me to the trap to fit me in.

But if what she says is true. If you inadvertently say something you have no heart for Chrono-kun or hear something you don't want to be touched without me knowing anything... it's dangerous. For me, I'm no longer afraid of love rivals or the obstruction of good intentions, but if... Krono-kun himself, likes, hates, and... oh, oh, now it's time I can't get back on my feet.

"Mr. Chrono is still in the dorm. I won't take much time. After listening to me, please, enjoy yourself until you feel comfortable reuniting with him. I have business to attend to, so I won't be back until evening."

"... okay, I get it. Mr. Fiona, I want to talk to you about you."
