Kuro no Maou

Then a month later, Chloe was ready for the 'Fountain of Light' offense. Once he returned to his home capital, Daedalus, to reinforce his gear with all of his possessions and set up his items.

Wearing the best gear and readiness of his adventurer life, Chloe split into the Fairy Forest (Fairy Garden).

"Hey, hey! Stop there, Busik! From here on out, the light..."

"Sick."

A fairy that raises a warning is an easy landmark. I have a destination ahead of me. I don't get lost.

Chloe truncated the fairy who appeared, without any hesitation or guilt.

That was the signal that the war would begin between her and the fairies.

"Heh, heh... wait, Lili..."

The woods are as fussy as a hive. An ugly woman with an unseen face invades the Fountain of Light at an incredible speed. Crazier than a monster, creepier than an undead, one female swordsman comes storming with a shake of long dark hair.

Naturally, the fairies intercept this crazy woman with all their might to stop her.

"Ha... ha... Here's the light... no, mi..."

Chloe slaughtered numerous fairies and finally reached the Fountain of Light.

"Mm-hmm... Ho, ho!

But that was the limit.

Spit blood out of his mouth and belly like a waterfall. Chloe falls.

Already, she's full of creativity. It was weirder not to be dead. It was a dying serious injury.

The fairies just watch far away without showing themselves, because they know she's going to die on her own without having to lay hands on her anymore.

"Hey, why... move, man..."

In the middle of a beautiful flower garden, Quero grows ugly, like a trampled bug.

"And a little bit more... a little more..."

Beyond the blurred vision, there is a beautiful true circle fountain. In that fountain, the fairy treasure (artifact) you seek must be sinking.

I want it. I want it. I want love.

But I can't reach out. My fingertips were disappearing.

"Love you, you can have it, but you can't..."

I knew, that it was a reckless quest.

I knew, that it was a lie to keep me away.

I knew it, that he couldn't possibly love me.

"Ri, Li Kun..."

But I did it because I love you. Still, I believed it because I love you.

From the bottom of his heart, earnestly, his life, his life, his soul, everything is worth betting on even if he dumps it on the dob.

Because Chloe knew this was love.

"Love... Love..."

Even if it was all a lie and a lie, I can't resist the pleasure of being loved.

I wanted you to say "I love you" even in lies. I don't like it when I die, but I wanted you to hold me.

"More, I wanted to love you but no..."

I want to be loved, but more than that, Chloe wanted to love someone else.

I understand so much what my curse is like that I don't like it. Being fond of someone is tantamount to being willing to kill.

Sure, ugly Chloe was lonely. But she also chose to be lonely herself. Nobody else, not to hurt you.

Should we call it clumsy kindness or foolishness to abandon possibilities?

Even during death, there is no remorse for Chloe. She could 'fall in love' as one woman, because she could.

"Riri... ku... more... ah, i..."

As if burning himself to death with a burning love heart, Chloe held her breath, screaming for love.

No matter how careless you are, if you become a corpse, you can't pass it on. Her remains, as an invader of the Fountain of Light, are buried.

Just as the fairies cast a short spell, the filthy bloody carcass sinks into the soil of the flower garden. People, but monsters, but if you bury it on the ground like this, it will only feed the flower gardens later.

The Fountain of Light soon returned to the beautiful scenery again, as if there had been no trace of the tragic battle or the carelessness of the departed.

The fairies grieved in tears that many of their companions had lost their lives, but soon live back to normal, just like the landscape of the Fountain of Light.

This is a sanctuary full of fairy queen protection. If we lose people, more and more new people will be born just for that. The grief of death was dispelled by the joy of birth, and the Fountain of Light regained the usual landscape where the fairies played around with pleasure. Forget the memories of a tragic battle, innocent fairies just have fun living 'now'.

But by the time they forget, they remember.

"Hey, what... these flowers"

It was a round of red flowers.

There are also many red flowers in the flower garden. But only this flower had been stained and cut in disastrous crimson like blood.

But this red flower catches my eye, not because of the creepy shades.

Big. It was, like, too huge a flower.

"Hey... what is this place..."

Someone said that brings back memories of a tragic battle.

This blooming place is exactly the same as where the crazy brunette fell, who attacked the Fountain of Light before and slaughtered many of her companions.

Right under the red flower, there's her.

No, from her, I realized that this red flower was growing.

"Maybe... you can give birth?

"Ugh, you can give birth, what?

Everyone knows how fairies are born. I know at birth.

The fairy is born of the wreath of flowers by the blessing of God.

Like other animals, they do not engage in the reproductive practice of mating, etc. Because they are pure beings.

Like people, I don't act like I'm raising a child. Because they were born with, personality, knowledge, magic, everything from God, perfect life.

Fairies know who they are. Therefore, there is no stray. Fairies know where they come from and go. Therefore, there is no philosophy.

If a flower is born open, then it is a fairy.

Then this red flower - yes, if it was still born out of the open, giant stump of flowers, then the sole would also be a fairy.

"No, no!

"No! No!

"This is not a fairy!

"Not a real fairy!

Then what is this?

Who the hell is this man who is in such a great stump that this human child is likely to be in it as it is?

"This is human!

"Yes, in that woman's belly, there was a child!

Telepathic fairies, you can tell. Is the person in front of you alone or two?

Even if he doesn't realize that there is a new life in him, the fairy will know.

In the belly of that horribly ugly woman, she hasn't even formed the shape of a person yet, but still, all the fairies who were in the fight know that one human being, or baby, existed.

Whether you have children or not, all those who strike the Fountain of Light are enemies. It is absolutely evil, trying to tarnish the protection of the Fairy Queen. No mercy or mercy whatsoever, nothing more than killing.

"But... human children are born of their mothers."

"Yes, a human child cannot be born of flowers."

I have knowledge of the human race. Everyone has it.

The knowledge the fairy has gained since birth is that given by the fairy queen. Therefore, the information is unquestionable and everything is true.

Fairies are born of flowers. Humans are born of their mothers.

"So, who the hell is going to be born?

As long as it comes from flowers, are you a fairy?

As long as my mother gives birth, is she human?

So if a child made of my mother's belly is born out of flowers, what the hell is the sole?

"... half a man, half a demon"

Fairy Queen gives and knowledge. There was usually that information in the back that I would never remember in my life.

Half are fairies and half are human beings. Half of man and fairy.

They remembered from the abyss of memory the fact that such a thing exists in the world.

"What's that, frightening!

"Frightening!"

"Frightened! Frightened!

There is not a single person who just knows it as knowledge and understands what Sole is like.

"Frightening, let these flowers burn!

"Before you give birth, let's lose it!

"You can't do that!

"It comes from flowers because the Queen gave her protection!

Opinion broke in two.

It is a curse, born of the resentment of that ugly woman. No. Even the Son of Man blessed the birth of the Fairy Queen, the Son.

Half a devil's son who dwells with him the curse of man and the miracle of God. Whether it was the good or the bad - in the fairies' argument, there was no answer.

And time fills. Full moon evening. The protection of the Fairy Queen is the most strongly expressed night of the month.

"Oh, oh... I can give birth"

"Flowers, bloom"

Huge red stumps now blossom as the fairies gaze of fear and anxiety all around them.

Quiet, no sound, a large crimson petal moved. From that gap, with a dazzling rainbow light.

"Beautiful, lily flowers......"

"... beautiful, people"

When a circle of giant lily flowers blooms, from there, one girl emerges, wrapped in light.

"Are you a person?

"Are you a fairy?

The size is the same as a human girl. Never a fairy, a big body.

But the girl has two shining pairs of feathers on her back and her whole body is wrapped in a pale emerald green fairy junction (Oracle Field). It was an inherent magic (extra), never expressed in humans.

"Who are you?"

Naturally, someone asked. I gathered on this occasion, everyone asked.

When fairies are born, first, they ask for their names. And answer who you are.

Oddly enough, everyone unintentionally followed fairy customs.

And she answers.

"- I am, Lily. Fairy."

The bright spring sun was warm, it was one day.

"Oh... yabe, I don't have any money..."

There was still a man who kept crushing his cliche from his childhood, even when he was over fifty years old.

"Why... how did this happen..."

With a desperate face for everything in his life, the man was walking down the street with a wagon pulled by Roba, who was completely old and only going nowhere.

I don't think I'm going. I just kept going as long as the road lasted...... no, I've been running away. Far away, from the capital, Daedalus, to the western edge of such a territory.

"... oh? Oh, my God, I feel like I look familiar..."

I'm old, but I'm not going to get bogged down yet.

Yeah. I twisted my head and dug back into my memory, and finally, I remember.

"Well... I've been here before, I've been running away"

More than thirty years ago. Based on the money I earned working in a luxury whorehouse, when I started doing business with a big ambition, I was crushed fast without the art of making it, and when I realized I was young I was running away at night.

At the time, my still proud blonde hair was also fussy, and even these green eyes were so sparkling that the real emerald was too. As long as my head is so thin and lonely nowadays, and the color of my eyes is so cloudy that the weeds that grow there are still more luminous green.

Once upon a time, still desperate is the same. If you are strong enough to make a difference, is there a chance of a relapse?

I still had hope for myself in the past.

"Yes, yes, I remember, just up ahead in the village"

When he was in a humid adventurer's guild with only a bogged cat Baba and he wanted money and drank me a cheap ale...... lucky enough, I found it to be gold.

Lucky? No, I'm nothing more than a trial given to me by the black gods.

"Lonely swordsman, or... heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh

I've had a taste of all sorts of misery, but compared to that one night, I could stand any misery. He said it was better than that.

That's not why I like it and I've struggled with it.

With the gold coin I got over a night of trials, I thought I'd leave my hometown of Daedalus and start over in neighboring Sparda. In fact, we got to Sparda safely.

But that's the end of the dream. What I've been waiting for in Sparda is some familiar, werewolf head. He followed himself from Daedalus, he was a man of debt.

They take all the money, and still they still don't write off huge debts...... and then, for more than twenty years, engage in forced labour in secret mines that illegally mine demonic stones that are critical on the border between Sparda and Daedalus. In harsh working conditions, scumbags on similar bodies fall to butterflies and diseases and die, and if they break their bodies, they are fed monsters and occasionally exhausted in a downfall accident.

I don't have any lok memories, but nevertheless he survived, as God in Heaven did not let go. In addition, by excavating giant Demon Stone crystals, he finally paid off his debts and became a free man.

That's last year's story.

And it was last month's story that failed once again in the business that began to return to Shabbah and fled at night.

Beyond fifty, the second great failure. Now it will not be possible to repay you alive, even if you work in a mine. I don't think I can even borrow money from such an old age. At best, after being hurt by your stomach, you'll be killed in a delightful way.

The next time you get caught, it's the end of your life.

You don't have to get caught, you don't have any money, and sooner or later, life is forced to end.

"Hi-ha... you know what, me too, why don't you try the fairy family treasure?

If you're going to die anyway, why don't you do a big blow at the end of the day with a good or a bee?

"Idiot, I'm not even betting."

Yes, even the lonely lady swordsman, the fairy's territory that she was met with payback. You can't even attack your amateur self.

"No, wait... I can't have the treasure, but if I can catch even one fairy, then it'll be good money..."

Business, which failed twice, was both slavery. Learn more about the industry. Even if you're not familiar with it, it's easy to imagine how valuable it would be if you were a little, beautiful, and, moreover, an ageless fairy forever.

But it's only easy to target since time immemorial, and it's tightly controlled. It's also difficult to capture. Because to meet fairies, you have to take them to their territory.

Demand rarely circulates as a commodity.

"Damn, if it's called the Fairy Forest, it's a little bit like one, if you'll follow me around."

That's when the light flashes in the woods.

At first, I thought it was an illusion of the eye. But I could see it shining twice, three times, clearly many times.

"Oh, come on... seriously, you're lying..."

The light creeps slightly through the woods, but it keeps getting closer and closer to this street.

There are many glowing monsters. But if you live here, there can only be one glowing species.

Yes, because this is a fairy forest.

"Hello -"

It was the little girl who showed up.

All naked without a thread, but blurry white light emanating from the body. And from its back there were two pairs of feathers that glowed in rainbow.

No matter where you look from, you are a fairy.

"Oh... Fairy, is it?

But I suspected it.

It has fairy features, but this girl was big. It's not the size of a doll, it's just the size of a normal human toddler.

Such a big fairy, I never saw it, never heard of it.

"Yeah, Lily, it's a fairy."

But he claims to be a fairy. Then I guess that's what this is about.

No, at this point, it doesn't matter whether this kid named Lily is a real fairy or not.

It will be great money.

At first glance, the man was so sure.

He is confident in his aesthetic eyes that Lily has a young but perfect beauty, except for the rare value of a big fairy he has never seen.

Her hair is long, platinum blonde hair with glitter and dazzling radiance. Its circular eyes host the brilliance of emeralds so beautiful and clear that even the real Emerald is so sumptuous.

Same as a man, blonde green eyes. But no matter what beauty and child you have made, you will never have such a miraculous daughter of beauty.

If this child had grown up to the age of a girl...... undoubtedly would be chosen by the God of Beauty to look like a miracle, hosting 'Charm'. Beautiful. Just one thing, people find infinite value there.

"Hey, is Mr. Ozzie one of the merchants?

Lily's inquiry brings me back.

"Oh, yeah, Ozzie was a merchant -"

When I talked to her, apparently she thought she was a pedestrian and approached me with interest to see if there were any interesting products.

But to see it, it seems true that there are no products in this wagon that would be sold to Loc.

"Sorry, lady, I don't have anything left to sell anymore."

"Hmm, it is."

I guess Lily was satisfied when she roamed around the carriage alone, then played with an old loba.

"Bye, Bubba."

Wave small, turn your back and go back to the woods.

So, the man moved.

"- Whoa, whoa! Yay!!

When I realized I was wearing a large hemp bag from my head to Lily, who turned her back defenselessly. A basic way to tease people. Now I've seen you catch a woman, and I've done it. Finally, I've been hit before.

There was a grid. But if it's in the shape of a child in front of you and a pile of gold coins is urlow, there's no reason not to jump on a man.

"Hihaha! We did it, now, I can start over again!

Quickly tie the mouth of the bag, every ankle.

If this happens, those inside will be sealed of sight and physical movement, and there will be no locomotive resistance. The fairy is said to be a user of light magic, but even a magician can be difficult to fight back with magic.

At the time of bagging, the battle was decided.

"Ha, yeah, I'm not the guy that ends up here! I did it, I did it, this Lilientar-like life is a huge reversal, Ola!!

"... mmm"

Such a blatantly grumpy voice was heard from inside the bag, shortly after.

"Whoa!? What, here, hot! Hot!!

The bag that I held up suddenly gets hot. The man drops his bag in the intense heat as if a fire had suddenly ignited.

Bags that are supposed to fall to the ground. But float in the universe.

And with the blinking of his eyes as it was, he blew it up.

"... you, the bad one"

When I opened my eyes again, which were closed to the glare, there was Lily's figure, covered in beautiful emerald green round light.

There is no shadow or shape, such as the sack of hemp that was covered. She was just staring at the man with a childish angry look.

"Oh, no!?

The man fled without waving his eyes.

A big man staring at a little girl like that? No, I looked like a child, something horrible. I don't know much about the powers of the fairy, but I can still see that the green light she wraps around is a hell of a magic.

I can't win. At least, I can't beat a wizard like that on my own who only has the power to be human.

"Ugh, well!

"No!? Why are you following me?"

It's weirder to work all those wolves and not be angry. Just because the killer escaped doesn't make sense to miss it.

"Holy crap, ha... ha..."

"Seriously!

Running through the woods. This forest is already in the realm of the Fairy Forest (Fairy Garden), where monsters are in danger of falling out. Even if an amateur man is wrong, it's a place he shouldn't step into, but if he's in real danger for his life right now, there's no point in getting away without knowing where this place is.

But such a thing is called resistance.

"Ma, wait, wait... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just, I'm sorry!

Nowhere, behind the woods. Finally, the man's legs reach their limits, leaving his back to Ogi to sit down.

All he could do was beg for his life already.

"Help me... yes, only life..."

"No, you're a bad guy."

A merciless execution pronouncement is spoken from Lili, who stands in front of Jen Wang.

"Lily protects the woods from bad things. So the bad news is, guys, Lily's got to get rid of it!

I don't know what she's talking about. I don't know, but I only understood that I had no fine dust to forgive myself.

The man cries in a great cry and still appeals to me to help him desperately.

"If you do something wrong, you can't -"

A small hand is shaken up.

The man doesn't know. Lily, tell me who she is.

"-Me!

And so, knowing nothing, nothing could be done, the man was poured down, and vanished into the white light.

Later, every tree disappeared, leaving only large scorch marks. Traces of someone there, they did nothing.

"Wow... it's getting nebulous"

As if nothing had happened, Lily walked out into the woods. As if I had completely forgotten, such as that I killed one human being.

No, the fact is, it's not on Lily's head anymore, like about that guy.

She just did her job. I got rid of the bad stuff, which is going to harm the forest. That's just it. If you are an enemy, it would be a goblin, but a human, but a dragon, but it has nothing to do with it.

For Lily, the only existential significance for me now is to protect this forest, that is, the 'Fountain of Light' in the sanctuary full of the protection of the Fairy Queen. It's just an irreplaceable, boring day-to-day comma that performs only with a sense of mission and duty.

I had troubles. On full moon nights, I always worry.

Am I really good with this? Do you just keep doing this forever? What the hell am I born for?

The mission to protect the Fountain of Light was imposed on the Fairy. Then the half-man and half demon Lily can only fill up to half his heart, no matter how much his sense of purpose is raised.

The other half of my mind, in people's minds, what to put in. How can I be filled?

I kept thinking about that, and more than thirty years had passed.

A pointless concern. Reckless thinking. But if it's a kid's head, it doesn't bother me that much. It's not painful.

"Ouch, back up"

That's how Lily keeps on living the same boring life that never gets filled up every day - that was supposed to happen.

Kyowaaaaaaaaa!!

A grunting chirping sounds a wooden spirit over the sky.

"Ah, this ringing... it's Garuda!

I have a lot more knowledge of monsters than I have of serving to protect the forest.

Garuda is a monster of giant birds. Fly through the sky at a speed comparable to that of a dragon, with toughness commensurate with a large body, and host the inherent magic (extra) of an even more powerful wind. According to the classification established by the person, it is considered a rank 4 hazard.

Even if you play Lily, you're a monster to call a mighty enemy. If possible, I want to avoid engaging. But if Garuda is going to set up a nest in the middle of this forest, it must be stopped.

Lily rushes out. to places where you can see a barking garuda in the sky.

"Wow, there's two of them!

Climbing up to the small high rocky mountain on the outskirts of the forest, the sky looked good. Two garudas were fighting each other on stage in a clear blue sky.

Will both be male? The breeding season is near, so I guess I'm on my mind. It is such a time as to develop into a quarrel, even if it was somehow just wrong in the sky.

In the midst of a dispute with Gaagaa and a nasty squeal across the forest, one Garuda held it on his leg, dropping a large crate.

When I got in the way of the fight, I guess I let myself go. Garuda finally turns fiercely and madly against the opponent with his free-footed, rugged paw.

"Ah, it's an apple box!

But more than a fierce aerial battle in Garuda, Lily was blinded by a massive amount of red fruit that seemed to fall apart from a crushed crate on a cliff slope.

Red fruit named apples cannot be eaten around here. Some knowledge suggests that apples are sweet and sour and delicious.

I want to try it.

You can eat it. You can pick it up. I'm a garuda dropper.

And the dropper, enthusiastic about the quarrel, flew away from the woods more and more and farther away from nowhere.

For one thing, the forest crisis was over. Then there's the apple.

"Okay!"

Lily braves herself to the crash site with joy when she gets some delicious fruit after the troubles have been avoided.

So, she found it.

In the woods, mixed with scattered apples, one man is down.

A young man with dark hair. The body is big and the warriors of the war are as tight as they are. But I thought it was white and my clothes were dyed red and black and dirty.

Is the blood that pollutes that garment your own thing or someone else's?

I don't know, but if you're hurt, I thought I'd have to help.

"Now I hope he's a good man"

If you're a bad guy, you have to kill him. That's a hassle, and a hassle. If you're going to meet someone, that's better laughing at each other than killing each other.

"Hmm... Hmm... Just give me five more minutes, Mother..."

Lily thought when she saw a man who looked miserable and bloody but leaked such sweet sleeping words.

"Uh, hey, maybe he's a good guy"

That's how Lily met her fate (Chrono).

Instead of half the empty mind, it is not the story of such a distant future that she learns that there is so much existence in this world that it is not enough to fill all of it.
