Kuro no Maou

The 20th of the month of Xinyang. I mean, the day I ran into a crono bastard at Avalon's junction.

Lynn's idiot came out of this, which led to Chrono discovering her presence. Honestly, that was careless of me. With Lynn, her old buddies and the start of interacting again, I may have had a little peace boggle, too.

But he was originally exploring this Avalon. Normally than Lynn continues to live in this city, I was certain that one day I would find out.

I'm ready for that, but now, with a little headache as to whether or not to use that hand, I, no, we went back to St. Julia's Abbey, including Lynn.

"My name is Gregorius, and I am a priest at the Aria Monastery. Later, get to know each other."

What I waited for on my way home was a man on the frigid side of everything. Details reminiscent of a fox, and a shrewd attitude is a strong armor that hides its true intentions. I don't like this guy, because he's always a bunch of eaters.

Everyone questioned why a suspicious priest of another emerging religion was here, but the main emir of the monastery took it for granted, for one thing, a place for discussion.

On this occasion, me and Lynn, the Emir Priest of the Abbey, and Gregorius of the Abbey of Aria, an uninvited guest. In a tiny reception room with stinking stone construction, the conversation began.

First, Gregorius turns off his mouth fire with a masked thin and laughing smile.

"You are a priest with the priesthood of our monastery, making you a Lady of the Earl of Bergunt. Master Rinfeld Aria Helvetia Bergunt, no doubt about it?

"Hey, what is it, I'm Lynn? He's just a dirty slum orphan. He can't be the Countess or anything."

"Ha... you idiot"

With all that effort out of sight, cold-sweated, bar-reading, dialogues of denial, or whitewashing, would be the same.

But even if Lynn had stage actress-like acting skills, she must be holding back so much evidence that it's impossible to cut through the white than this guy has been questioning on a direct ball.

"Oh, well, unfortunately, it was a mistake... hey, with the face of Master Rinfeld I've seen before and the one that was too soggy. It's really unfortunate that he was someone else very similar."

"Well, I'm sorry I didn't live up to your expectations."

"Ha ha, I hope there are three very similar people in this world."

What do you mean you don't dare question who you are? Gregorius' intention of white laughter is still unreadable.

However, I seriously think Lynn, who is sure she's lucky to have misled herself well, is seriously stupid. For God's sake, you don't speak a word anymore.

"Although I would not recommend going back to 'Holy Girl of Helvetia' again, even if you were the real Master Rinfeld. Anyway, your father Count Bergunt was killed in the Galahad War. We have heard from the nobles who have united their responsibility for the defeat that the territory of Helvetia is in trouble."

"Wow, I knew your father was dead for real."

"Haha, you were an orphan, Lynn, another person very similar to Master Lynnfeld?

"Ha wow!

Even if I block my mouth now, it's too late. Why are you letting the guy who explores who you are follow your lies?

"Hey, Nantka, I don't care what you say about the Countess anymore."

"Whoa, excuse me, you're right. I'm sorry, I'm a chatty person."

The corner, he's appealing to me that he's unwilling to pursue it. You don't have to keep blowing yourself up with Lynn's rudeness.

"So, what's the point?

"We certify the monastery of St. Julia as a Christian sect listed by the Monastery of Aria, and we hope to cooperate in its activities in the future"

I see, when you cooperated.

"If a similarly artistic guy is in the near field, he's blind, so you're just gonna put him under his umbrella? That's gang reason."

If you refuse, it's the beginning of a shady harassment, eliminating it by force. Seeking cooperation is practically just an order, seemingly indicative of a choice.

An attitude I don't care about, but if the Aria Monastery is soaring in popularity in Avalon, it will already have as much power as it can.

"Ooh, it's not even! As a matter of pure fact, we consider the teaching of the monastery of St. Julia to be a precious denomination that draws on the doctrine of the Crucifixion lost in the ancient times"

"Hey, I'm not taking the liberty of saying that your crucifixion and our teachings are the same. It's not even an argument."

"Rest assured, the religious controversy surrounding it has already been discussed with the Emir Priest"

Shit, you bastard, you've been here before. Is the rooting complete?

"... is it true, Emile"

"Yeah, the Crucifixion is definitely the source of St. Julia's teaching. As one priest, I am convinced that it is right to learn the Crucifixion, to teach God, to explore His truth"

I have the guts not to yield to unjustified pressure, and I am Emile who will not lie for better or worse. His words will come from the heart.

When it comes to religion, it's not something I can talk about. If Gregorius and Emile, the priests, have discussed each other and settled, there is no reason to overturn it.

"Well, then, do as you please."

"Are you sure, Master Nero?

"This monastery is your thing. I'm just a little involved in making a small donation - don't worry, whatever choice I make, my behavior won't change."

At least I'm going to make a donation to the extent that the chicks I hold here can't get hungry. Promise, so be it.

"Careful, it hurts"

"Don't worry, it's what I like and do"

If Emile and I have been talking so far, it is certain that we will join hands with the Aria Monastery.

"So, if that's the case, it doesn't even make sense for me and Lynn to be here. If you're talking about running a monastery, you can do it between priests."

"No, talking about cooperation is just a prerequisite, before we get down to business"

"I see."

Sink the hips floating from the chair again. Over the course of this period, what does he say?

"Hmph, it is also on the brink of something that I have been able to see you in this way, no, if we are talking about our teachings, the guidance of God...... Dear Nero Julius Ellord, First Prince of Avalon, why don't you touch the miracle of white God, too?

He is offered a thick book with a small white cross painted on a dark blue fitting.

I see, is he the one who rumored about the 'Bible'?

"I'm sorry, but you're not interested. Especially if he's a god."

"Well, that's a shame. Dear Nero was quite obsessed with this monastery of St. Julia, so I thought you might be interested in our Crucifixion, but, uh-huh, it looks like Ate has come off."

"Finally, the Royal Avalon (we) is a Pandora Temple, so we don't even plan on changing sects"

"This is rude...... but the door to the Crucifixion is always open. Many who still do not believe, the great white God will guide all mankind."

Yeah, yeah, and Gregorius is impressed on his own. Yeah, the guy who doesn't talk.

"If solicitation fails, why don't you go home as an adult?

"No, there are still lambs here that get lost - so, Mr. Lynn, how about you?

"What, me?

You, you didn't listen to the extinct talk. With this flow, we often have an outsider side.

"Yeah, yeah, it's you. Ms. Lynn is completely separate from Master Lynnfeld, but even more miraculously, she is the user of the very same special original magic (original), the 'Cathedral Boundary (Sanctuary)'."

"What, how do you know that, you!? I've never used it anywhere but here... No, but I don't think anyone saw it..."

"Lynn, are you really going to hide this?"

"There is! I'm dying!?

Because that means that Soytz has a lot of light life.

So it's a wack I have to protect, man.

"So, what are we going to do with Lynn?

"She's a special person." The Cathedral Crossing (Sanctuary) "is nothing more than a testament to the strong protection of the White God. At least, that's what happens in the Crucifixion. Therefore, I ask the Holy One who has suffered such a divine miracle to walk with us..."

"Well, a kid like Rudell would be enough."

As head of the Aria Monastery, I know there is a boy named Archbishop Loudell. I've seen your face, too. In the beginning, I used to walk around here preaching a lot. Now they're greeting all kinds of Avalon guys, and I don't see their faces, but if they come back here, they'll gather the faithful and preach grandly.

d He is a pretty boy with a face that looks quite mysterious, even in a flashy coat...... that's all. Whatever you think, that guy named Rudell doesn't have the strength to just lead the Aria Monastery.

Ten or eighty-nine, there is another guy who manipulates the organization. I don't know if that's this Gregorius, or if a bunch of these bastards are going to be nasty, though.

"Archbishop Loudell is a wonderful priest to respect, young, wise and deeply understanding of doctrine, but not a saint. We need one saint today, the miracle bearer of God."

"So, Lynn, what about you? You want me to do you a favor for this frigid bastard?

"Oh, no, you're a pain in the ass."

Well, that's true. I wholeheartedly agree with Lynn in the response with a true face. There's no reason anywhere to go out of your way to take Gregorius' request seriously.

"Well, I didn't say so. Could you at least just listen to what we have to say about Lynn's work as a saint?"

Are you saying this is where the sales talk that pulls Lynn comes from?

We can also forcefully end the conversation here now... but he will come as many times as he wants. Lynn is an idiot, so it would be a hassle if she even let me make a weird contract while I'm gone.

You have to look at Gregorius' story, that is, his hand tag here.

"First, money. It is not preferable to bring up stories of money, etc., to priests who wholeheartedly serve God… you are not just a nun, you are a saint. This one too, let me guarantee you a life worthy of it, a treatment. Specifically, oh, it's in this dossier, so check it out."

He's a well-prepared bastard. Gregorius graciously offered a bond modoki containing the name of Archbishop Rudell.

From what I've seen, I see, I'm promising a little aristocratic income to instant money enough to hire a Rank 5 Adventurer. If you want, territory, too, whoa, should religious organizations say it's a stopover?

Anyway, there's an overly exaggerated line of money to hire one girl.

"How about that? From now on, it was up to us to provide assistance in the management of the orphanage as we entered into a cooperative relationship with the monastery of St. Julia, but even thicker assistance will be possible if you stand up as a saint of the Cross."

"Wow, I'm not a woman who moves with money!

Good thing your eyes are golden. With a lot of money in front of me, my heart is totally shaking. Only to be honest with this kind of desire doesn't resemble him at all... but it's also true that this kind of thing is more reassuring to watch.

"No, there is never any such intention. I just wondered if it would be best to provide a better environment for orphans to keep here. And what the hell are you going to think back to getting the funds you need for your kids? This is nothing more than a good deed, which God also recognizes."

"Hmm, even now Nero has made enough donations for me to do, so it's more of a luxury than that! Premium pure poverty! Sister of the slam, don't lick it!!

"Hey, I'm sorry, Lynn."

To be honest, my donation is a minimum amount of criticality to run an orphanage. Not because this is the limit I can put out. Because I'm the prince, so if you make more than a certain donation to a particular organization, it'll be a commotion.

So I can only give you a sum of money to the point where you can't get ass out of nowhere. I would be able to get behind it and flush the funds... but neither my father nor the royal palace is that dumb on the boulder. They know about the movement of the gold I use.

"I didn't force it, I mean, it's true that I want money, but what a good story to talk about right now. Because if you try harder and save some more, one day you'll save enough to rebuild this chapel!

But Lynn is right. This one is not so much a financial squeeze that I can't buy the bread to eat tonight.

To be put on a story about Aria Monastery willing to use Lynn, while I know it's just gold. Then you're weak. Still, I can afford to just poke at Lynn's will.

"Hey, great independence indeed! The boulder is chosen by God as a saint, no, Holy Girl, what a noble thing of his will. I'm impressed."

Oh, my God, even if they say it with a hella laugh, I just think they're making fun of me... he still has some kind of hidden balls. Gregorius with a light grin, but I don't feel like retreating from him at all.

- That's why we want to put your safety first.

"Huh?"

The reply of the missing Lynn in between. But a bad feeling on my spine runs through the freaks.

"Mr. Lynn... you, the devil is after your life, aren't you?

"Devil? What are you talking about, not stupid, now threatening me?

"Dark-haired Mad Warrior. The man named" The Black Nightmare Mad Warrior (Nightmare Berserker), "his real name was - Chrono, was it?"

Moments, Lynn's face blues when she understands everything. No, on the contrary, he was pale in the face and had tremors running on his body.

"How do you know so much?"

Turning into phosphorus trembling with fear, I asked. How far is he going?

"Really, was that earlier? I pinched it in my ear that there was a little rubbing going on in the nearby street."

You were watching us.

"They said it was just a contention, but if that party told the prince and princess of Avalon, and in addition to that, the daughter of the Arklite family, about Chrono, an adventurer who recently talked about his great work in Serene...... wouldn't it be impossible to tell people not to rumor if so famous people had met together on Daytime Boulevard?

If you did, you'd be too early.

He knows that Lynn is Lynnfeld. Then it is only natural to mark the chrono that captured Rinfeld on the battlefield of Galahad.

On top of that, if you ask what happened today, the speculation will also turn to certainty.

"A man named Chrono is a one-time adventurer... but the power he possesses is due to the most abominable kind of evil demon for our Crucifixion. Therefore, we are particularly attentive to his trends."

Gregorius explains himself, as if to affirm my guess. I don't know how far you seriously fear the power of Chrono, but at least, I'm pretty sure you're only hostile to him.

"If you were on the battlefield of Galahad, you'd know enough, but he's very dangerous. That frantic battle, the power of evil protection, and, above all, the vicious appearance of that demon itself. Now is the time to spoil my position as a Rank 5 Adventurer, but the hell with what evil ambition that man has! In terms of incompetence, it is arguably the most alarming person at the moment."

"For what it's worth, I seem to be letting him do whatever he wants?

"We're just a small religious group, so hey, you can't possibly sell a grand fight to a Rank 5 adventurer, etc. In times of need, we protect ourselves, so we do the best we can."

You can't count on me.

"Rather than that, the biggest problem is not letting you grab your tail at all. We're not a gangster, so without good reason, big name, there's no way anyone who's evil can fight, fight, etc."

I've never even heard of the man being pulled by the gendarmerie in a seminary. There were no rumors of bad behavior or anything like that.

Conversely, it also meant that he lived school life like a shadow, with that look and strength, to the point where such bad rumors as this could not circulate. This means that if you want to do it, you are equipped with just enough reason to push and kill your own nature and keep quietly lurking.

The prey beast, meanwhile, seems to kill the signs and sneak away. He must have been waiting for an opportunity.

That first opportunity is the battle of Ischia.

"So far, I haven't seen any suspicious movements in Chrono. But the chaossic rim crusade in Serene gave the man a brilliant stepping stone into Avalon. It is usually accompanied by discreet prudence, as well as the audacity to move in grandeur if given the opportunity. No, at all, it's a perfect standing around by the horror. How far is that man's reckoning?"

"... come on, that could be the protection of the evil gods"

"Oh, the boulder discernment. If you are commissioned by an evil god to take action, you will also be convinced that you will not see any leaps. That's a good possibility."

It's horrible that a joke doesn't make a joke.

Raising his name in the Battle of Ischia, the Galahad War broke out the next time as if he had been waiting. That's how he became a hero in Sparda with all his fame.

And now positively, it's about to be the same in Avalon. Apparently, like a normal adventurer. But with an unusual and unlikely momentum, Chrono captivated Nell and even let that noble Sellis take him in.

It's not so far away that he shows up in front of his father... no, was it confirmed that he would be called to the royal castle in the near future?

It feels like the path of prosperity that Chrono runs up is twisting and making fate come true, whether it's an evil god or a demon.

"Now, isn't Chrono an enemy of ours at the same time an enemy to Mr. Lynn, rather than a one-sided, life-targeting, horrible assassin or something?

"Wow, I... nothing... he's like that, or, hey, relationship, no..."

"Yeah, you bet. Because you're not Master Rinfeld, you're just Mr. Lynn. But... that guy, he doesn't think so, does he?

Well, then yes, Krono already knows who Lynn is. Lies and deceptions can't work.

"If you are confident that you will solve the misunderstanding, you can contact him from both of us and set up an opportunity for discussion?

"Stop!!

Son of a bitch, you know what I'm saying.

By the time I helped Lynn out of the Fortress of Galahad, it was over the stage where we could already settle this in a discussion.

Originally, I was wondering if it would make sense to him.

I'll protect Lynn.

"I'm not a wacko who doubts Master Nero's help. We just sincerely want to protect Mr. Lynn's life. We hope to be able to help you with that."

"I'm not putting Lynn back in your shoes."

If you go back to the Crusades, you don't know when you're going to use the power of the Cathedral Crossing (Sanctuary) again.

"He just needs to live in peace here. Oh, that's fine. To that end, I..."

"Fine, Nero"

"What?

"I, Aria, will work with the Abbey."

"Come on, you, what do you think people are struggling with?"

"Fool, I know you're saying this troublesome thing because I thought of your hard work!

Why are you prettier?

But when this happens, you won't hear from him anymore. It's typically the kind that gets annoying and mean.

"I'm an idiot, and I just came to Avalon, so I don't know much about this country... Nero, you're a prince, aren't you? Then I don't have time to be alone. I can't be a bodyguard."

"That's none of your business. I'll do what I want, that's all."

"I don't want to be a burden on you!

Oh, I see... right, right. Things say, but if they say so, there's nothing you can do.

"Lynn, I..."

"No excuses! Nero can do what Nero wants. So I'll do what I want, too. Well, you're not complaining, are you?

There can't be a complaint. Because that's up to you. I mean, freedom.

"Oh, okay, sorry... I don't have the right to stop you"

"But you worried me, you tried to protect me, thank you. I'm really glad to hear that."

I'm telling you to let me take care of him and be even more ashamed of him now. Don't worry, this is what I liked and did, too.

"Apparently, we've got the story together."

Gregorius raised his voice without any cowardice so as to break the bee a bit of a good vibe.

"Welcome to the Cross. God will be pleased with your faith."

"Yeah, well, I guess so."

With a joyful grin, Gregorius welcomes Lynn, who has expressed his cooperation with the Aria Monastery. A guy with a really good mouth around, long and forever, is talking about something with the kind of momentum he seems to be talking about that joy.

"Hey, whatever you want, just keep it safe with Lynn. If you screw up, I'll smash all of you right away."

"With all due respect, I accept. Saint Tarurin. No, Lord Lynn, we, the Crusaders, will protect you with all our spirits."

I don't have a wack of trusting words like that.

But the fact is that for me right now, this is the best way to protect Lynn more reliably. At best, let me use the things that are available.

"Heh heh, don't worry. It is up to us to report to Nero on the location and current status of Mr. Lin, yes."

"Finally, we can secure the handover of the First Prince."

"Not at all, all with Nero's heart in mind...... if there's anything else you need, please don't do anything for me"

I didn't say I'd cooperate with them, but I can't refuse until they cooperate with me unilaterally. When I want something myself, they just have ears to listen to. In short, it's a trick and a hurrah to make a debt from me.

"Gregorius, tell me about Lynn and one more thing."

"Yes, why not?"

"Give me information on Chrono."

"Happy. I swear to God that I will not hide everything we know and report it to Lord Nero."

I don't think I owe you this. He's the one who pulled the phosphorus in a half-threatening way.

"Well, I'm not expecting you, so I'll wait."

Now, I really don't expect him to work, so let's just say I move. To protect Lynn, you have to keep the hand you can hit.

When it comes to moving in the Royal Palace of Avalon, it takes a lot of trouble and hassle for me and the Prince. For a while, you're not going to be wacky playing swallowing in a vacation mood.

"Then I'll let you go home with this. Lynn, be careful at best. When it comes to trouble... you know what I mean?

"Ha, something's seriously depressing now, but it's gonna be. I hope it doesn't happen all the time."

Oh, man, are you sure you're all right? I take a seat trying to get out of the room, even though I am anxious again for the dumb look of Lynn, who lacks a slight sense of crisis.

"It's been a tough day, as long as we're happy to have a meaningful discussion. Dear Nero, may God bless you."

"Hey, this may be your decision complaining, but don't ever say that dialogue to me again"

God's protection means I don't feel well. Especially at times like now.

"I apologize for any disrespect... but I'm not going to let that get in the way."

"What?

At that time, for the first time, I caught a glimpse of an emotional object under a smiling mask from Gregorius.

It's pure joy.

"Dear Nero, you will necessarily accept the blessings of the White God in your own desire - that is my 'prophecy'"

"Huh, that's crap. Next time, think about a little better inviting complaints."

"Ha, this is tough. It's a priestly verdict, and it's good for the faithful."

Again, Gregorius returned to the thin, laughing look that hid his emotions by perfection. I just don't want to see your face anymore, and now I'm out of the room.

Damn, what's a 'prophecy'?

I decide that my destiny will be cut open by myself. There, black or white, but God doesn't have room for him to intervene.

I made up my mind.

I will never pray to God again, never rely on God, never wish on God.

"Yes, Lynn, from the day I lost you, I..."
