Kuro no Maou

- Where is the master?

Sariel, who returned to the hospital room at the same time as the noon bell rang, asked Fiona, who had the best opening.

"Back to Sparda."

In a gallant hospital room, Fiona sits on the bed where Chrono slept occasionally this morning, answering flat as usual everywhere.

"Scheduled discharge should still be ahead"

"I made my plans faster"

"Why?"

'Cause I don't want Mr. Krono to be here.'

Black thunder flashes. Its brilliance is a testament to the opening of the Spatial Magic (Dimension) 'Black Thundergate (Shadowgate)'. Better than that, Sariel hands-on is a pitch-black cross spear.

The tip was directed straight at the witch, who nestled in a tattered manner.

"If you harm the Master, even you will not forgive him"

Sariel is still oblivious to the microscopic nature of the human mind, but he can nonetheless solve people's behavioral patterns and psychological emotional theories based on logical analysis as' that's what it is'. Therefore, there is no need to ask many questions.

It was already clear that Fiona's deeds were contrary to the will of the Lord (Chrono).

"You're wrong about the spear."

"My enemy is the enemy of the master. It covers everything that interferes with its life and will. No exceptions."

"You still don't seem to understand the seriousness of the situation. Then let me tell you something."

"Roger, I have a reprieve to ask for clarification."

"I want Sariel to cooperate. To kill Lily..."

The content of the message brought by Ein, Lily's messenger, naturally also sees Sariel present. Sariel, with accurate memory, was not different from word to word and remembered the words Lily had spoken on the screen.

"As declared, what are you going to do if Mr. Lilly picks you up?

"I have no right to make decisions. Everything is for the master to decide"

Whether to accept Lily's proposal or not, there is no room for Saliel to make a point. Slaves are all the Lord's will. There is no right of veto.

"So do you have any idea what decision Mr. Chrono will make?

"I don't know."

"Yeah, me too, I don't know. But no matter what choice you make, it won't be the result that Mr. Chrono wants."

Try replacing it with a very ordinary triangle, and you'll see the complexity of that answer. Chrono already has a lover named Fiona. I'm talking about what happens to my lover if Lily proposes there and accepts it. But Lily is also irreplaceable and important to Chrono again. Turn it down unhindered, and it doesn't even go to the wack of ending it.

"I understand that the master cares so much about a fairy girl named Lily"

"So the truth is, Mr. Chrono's most wanted relationship would have been an old 'element master' who wouldn't cross the line. But I can't go back. Sariel, you showed up."

I know. That my existence was a fundamental cause of suffering Chrono.

I don't want him to suffer - that would surely be the first emotion I had when I abandoned the Apostle and just finished being a doll. And the thought turns into a wedge punched into the depths of the mind as the undiscovered absolute contradiction of the answer forever.

I don't want to suffer. But it makes me suffer. On top of that, because Chrono wants to be with himself at the root of his suffering.

"Neither am I. I'm not going back. Because his place as lover is a place to bet on and protect everything I have."

"But it is unacceptable to scorn the will of the Master for that"

"I admit that. My actions have forced Mr. Krono to suffer uninterrupted."

Then Fiona will still be recognized as an enemy to be eliminated.

"But Lily is coming to give him more pain than that."

Whilst, he pushed to ravage everything on the Pandora continent, like the Crusaders. So this is what the invaders themselves think. This is the right fight. It's jihad.

"Let's say Mr. Chrono marries Mr. Lily. If you do, Mr. Lily will kill me and you."

It's easy for Sariel to imagine that if we lose both of them, Chrono will mourn and grieve.

"Even if I refuse, Mr. Lily will kill me and you."

Even Saliel can understand the thought of resenting a lover, a disturber, who obstructs his own thoughts and is willing to kill him.

"I'm sure we won't be the only ones left with the number of casualties she brings."

Lily now does not hate any sacrifice and does not hesitate by any means to fulfill her aspirations.

"If she gets Mr. Chrono, she'll be permanently locked in the place she called 'Paradise'. Whether the Crusaders try to destroy Sparda, turn Avalon into a sea of fire, or all Pandora will be ruled by the cross of God...... Mr. Lilli will not allow Mr. Chrono to go outside. Well, other things like fighting. She doesn't want Mr. Chrono to protect her anymore."

Everything in the world is me (Lily) and you (Chrono). A closed world, a complete world. It is a beautiful and distorted, complete world.

"Whether Mr. Chrono rejects it or not, Mr. Lily will continue to aim to drag him into 'paradise' no matter how much time he spends ahead. Kill me and you, erase anyone else if you think you're in the way, and maybe even destroy Sparda."

It's the earliest, beyond the bounds of stalking, mad killer. No, it's no exaggeration to call it a disaster-class Rank 5 monster. With Fiona's knowledge of Lily's power and her new power, which she does not yet know, she may truly destroy a nation.

"Me, you, and Lily, we came to a point where we couldn't pull off later. Her presence surely threatens Mr. Chrono's peace. The possibilities that can be resolved in the discussion will be to the extent that we can pray to God and really get help"

Still, if it's Chrono, Sariel also knows that he's going to try to solve it without anyone getting hurt. At the same time, it is only a childish desire.

"... I also understand the strength of a person named Lily who fought in Galahad. You're right to predict that if she runs wild, there will be tremendous damage to the master and his surroundings"

"But Mr. Krono can't decide. No, he's kind, which is why I can't make all this decisions. So I made up my mind. Killing Mr. Lily. The only way to stop her is to kill her."

I mean, be prepared for Sariel, too.

It's not hard to imagine how much Krono would deny Lily's murder. You will do everything in your power to stop such reckless, barren and sad strife. That's what I might be satisfied with if Lily could help, even if I lost my life.

So many opponents. If you kill him, Chrono's mourning grief is immeasurable.

"What will you do? Will you stop me? Or do you want to go back to Sparda? There is not much respite. Go kill Mr. Lily with me, or run away, and decide here and now."

And Saliel's answer is:

"Got it. I support Mr Fiona's proposal."

"Really, thank you"

"I have decided that protecting the life and freedom of the Master is a top priority. Against the Master's emotions. But I will fight my enemies."

"I'm glad you understand, Sariel. Besides, I didn't feel comfortable challenging Lily alone."

With such a flat expression that she would not hold such anxiety or other shards, Fiona stood up, letting Guissili and her bed tuck away.

"Even with the power for two, I miss fighting alone."

Saw Fiona gently stroking her lower abdomen, as if she were also living there in a crystal of love, and Saliel felt its meaning, though thin. At least, I can tell by the smell of the moment I entered the hospital room that I broke my abstinence. Somewhat, it seems deceptive, but now the clergyman may even notice.

"Master Fiona ordered me not to return until noon for that reason."

"Yes, but I also respected your free will."

"I have no free will."

"Yes, I do, when you kill enemies for Mr. Chrono, didn't you just decide for yourself"

"This is only a natural conclusion to be derived, on the basis of circumstantial judgment"

Compare the pros and cons and anyone will get to the same answer. tolerate small sacrifices in order to avoid greater sacrifices. Being trapped in immediate losses is one truth that goes both in business and in combat.

"No, if Mr. Krono is here, you won't be able to make that decision."

"Why"

"If Mr. Krono orders directly, you cannot turn away. Because you are a puppet with no emotions, because you are a slave without greed, because you are a knight recognized by God - none of which, I'm sure, you cannot refuse his request to cry and plead in front of you"

I accept it because I know it was a mistaken decision, but because I was asked to, because I was wished for, because I saw you weak. That would be a shallow decision.

But that's the human. That's why humans.

For Sariel, the behavioral principle in the name of the most remote emotions is, however...

……

I couldn't deny it to her right now, for some reason.

"So I told you first. Mr. Krono said you'd be in trouble if you stayed."
