Kuro no Maou

Lesson 620: Peace

"... it's back to normal"

Looking in the mirror, my left eye was not a void or a demonic eye, but back to the eyes of the demon king with crimson eyes.

Totally, I want you to stop implanting your bare hands or something. What kind of nerve can I perform such a seriously crazy stained surgical method?

Oh, I did it too...... there, look, it was an emergency, and I can't help it, like.

"Well, I can see your eyes, and should I just thank you for healing"

My left eye is completely back on track and I have no discomfort with my vision at all. Now that you've already finished the trial, you're just like an eyeball because you don't have a role as a navigator. That would be more appreciated.

"The boulder should be called a lily or an ancient device... your body wounds are healing too"

My wounds from the battle with Lily are my hands and knees hived with arrows of light, a big hole empty in one big shot with a big belly, plus a chest that chooses my own heart, and quite a bit of stuff. Normally, just like after the Chaossic Lim war, I almost got bored being in the hospital, but it's amazing because all the wounds are healing in such a short time. Hey, the sixth blessing, "The Demon King of the Sea (Overblood)," is a kid I don't need anymore. Bye...

"But this is the only place where the scars don't go away"

There's a big scar on the chest where I've chosen my heart. Though the wound is the one that's blocked, the marks like torn to the bumps remain intact. I'm sure there won't be any more, clean blockages.

Think about it, this is the first time I've ever had a scar that could last a lifetime. They had healed beautifully any wound during the experimental period, and any wound could have healed beautifully if healed with solid healing magic, whether Lily, Nell or the Pandora Temple.

Still, you should see it as having some effect that leaves so much clarity and scarring. For example, a curse, like.

"That might be nice, too."

This wound must be a precept I would impose on myself.

When I touch it, I feel dodgy and heartbeat. The heart of the Warcraft, which had already become my thing. But it seemed to sound creepy somewhere.

Hey, here, you don't run off all of a sudden and make me monster, do you?

While I remember a little anxiety, I get dressed in shitty clothes.

This is a room with an example medical etherpod. Separate from the basement of the castle where Fiona and the others were caught. I guess it's in a spaceship because I remember a very narrow and painful impression.

Right beside the big mirror where I checked myself out, clothes were available. Brand new underwear and the top and bottom I originally wore. And it's "The Devil's Embrace (Bafomet Embrace)" that's so beautiful that I don't think I've had a hard fight.

When you put your sleeves through him, your body and feelings tighten.

"And yet... what happened?"

Mia and I had a terrible breakup, and I woke up. You mean the treatment was already complete, there was no liquid in the pod that was called that red ether or anything, just my body was lying on the sleeping table.

Lily wasn't next door, and for now I checked my body with the mirror I had in front of me, and I wore clothes...

"Morning, Chrono. How's your body?

As I predicted the timing, the door to the room opened and Lily appeared.

The tone is that of an adult, but the figure calms me down no matter how many times I see it, toddler form. I haven't seen it in a while, I'm wearing a white pumped robe.

The usual black piece... Speaking of which, did I scatter it on the wood tip dust? As soon as I get home, I need to find a replacement and give it to you.

"Oh, it's completely healed. Thanks."

"Yeah."

Until he did what was natural, Lily replied with a pure smile without sarcasm.

"Is Lily okay?

"As I just showed you, I don't have another scratch left... Ugh, again, you want to see it?

I want you to stop giving me that inviting look with that young face. I don't know what to say, it's bad for the heart.

I laughed and deluded and cut out the next thing I needed to hear.

"So, uh, how's everyone else doing?

"Critically ill people are being treated with pods. Others are getting some rest for now."

Well, this is the middle of a dungeon. Though the battle is over, then I will return, and I am not in a position to dissolve it on my own.

"This Distinyland is still the Temple of the Fairy Queen, so the Imperial Knight will never strike."

"That was good. Thankfully, security is guaranteed"

Still fine means I'm sure the fairy queen would have never let Lily go, even if she lost to me. It sounds like a radical god of ideas, like setting me in eternal captivity as a condition of trial... but I guess he's kind to Lily.

"You don't have to hurry, it's okay. Well, then, it's a corner, and I'll show you around when the move takes place."

"Oh, please"

Lily smiled and ran over and took my hand.

"Hehe, welcome to the spaceship Shangri-La"

To hold hands with Lily and gently go around the interior of Shangri-La.

When I left the pod room where I woke up, that homunculus soldier was standing with a rifle in his arms, so I suddenly freaked out.

"This is a staging area for pods and medical facilities, so I'm on guard."

From what we can tell, it's more uncomfortable to have them around.

"It's okay, because the hostile settings are properly disarmed. Guys, are you a good boy?

Lily, who laughs at me for saying so, is already a ruler's penetration. I have not manipulated more than a hundred homunculus legions on Dada.

"There's still two of us in this pod."

Pass to a room that was right around the corner. There were multiple pods lined up inside, two of whom I knew, each of them.

"Kai, Falcius......"

As they fell asleep, their eyelids remain closed, sinking in pods full of pukapuka and ether.

"The wound is blocked, but it just still looks superficially so. It'll take two more days to fully heal."

Pale Lily says.

It was Lily herself, like no other, who caused the two of them a serious death injury... but I don't have the right to blame them for that, and neither of them will be willing to do so.

"Well, if it's going to heal safely, good."

And after healing, along with words of gratitude, pay off the quest. I'm sorry I got into this, what an apology is like an insult to their fight.

Wish you a speedy recovery and we'll be right behind you.

"Come on, let's go next"

Lily pulled my hand and ran down the corridor inside the battleship to change her mood.

From then on, it felt like the seeding of Lily's mighty power we fought for.

It is the heart of Shangri-La and an engine section with a huge magic engine for running various magic installations such as pods and transfer magic.

"This is an ether reactor."

Its appearance is like a giant tower. On a black wall, a red glowing line runs vertically and horizontally. It wasn't an ancient letter or a magic formation, it depicted a mechanical pattern somewhere.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a turbine or something was planted inside him. What the hell is the structure inside of a magic engine, the ultimate in ancient magic? It bothers me, but it won't even go to the wax of looking into it in pieces.

The current occupancy rate is 0,2%, but it is still said to be surprisingly enormous in modern times.

Or, in the first place, what the hell is this engine running as a power?

"It's taking magic from the ground vein and converting it to ether."

"What ether?

"Things that have made magic easier to use and change, I wonder. Ancient things are mostly built to use ether as a power."

I'm refining the crude oil into oil, does it feel like that?

The magic flowing into the ground pulse means that the various primary color magic powers mix in different ratios from region to region, thus making it a uniform quality: ether.

Most importantly, in modern times, ether technology has not been discovered, so we have to set out from scratch to catch up with ancient magic technology.

"I mean, that's a big discovery..."

"It's no big deal. If we don't use this, we can't convert it to ether, and it's going to be hard to put it into practice right now."

What the hell does someone who's using it right now say?

In the meantime, the ancient magic installations powered by ether are not wacky enough to be applied instantly to any magic appliance (magic item) of the modern era because they are exclusive within this Shangri-La, where the function is still alive.

"Chrono will be ready to use as soon as we get used to it."

"Me? You can't read a spell chant or a magic team yet."

"Because ether is also about black magic"

"Really?

"Black magic and white magic. Why are these two things treated differently from primary color magic when they are the same magic... I finally understand what ether means"

This means that ether and primary color magic were classified in a different category from nature because they are similar, but qualitatively separate.

Primary color magic and black magic of darkness, primary color magic and white magic of light. The sorcerer, who details these differences, is not modern. But I can only tell it's different somehow, so the classification itself was a wacko. Lily, the fairy who was born with magical qualities, also had no information in her given knowledge to elucidate this difference.

So by touching Shangri-La, which is also a hunk of ether technology, we got to know one end of it.

"As we're going to study ether technology… let's go next"

After he said his serious resolve, Lily pulled my hand again and left the engine room behind.

"This is an artificial manufacturing facility."

It looks similar to a medical ether pod, but there are several thick metal pipes connected to it, and I remember a larger mechanical impression. In order to direct the operation and control of the equipment, devices emitting bonyards and light were installed in various parts of the room. Touching it poorly is going to cause a malfunction and I'm a little worried.

As far as I can see, I guess I just finished in the pod, men and women who were fully human figures, each in a black full-body suit.

The man, he saw it as a soldier, but not the woman.

"Were there also female shapes?

"Yeah, it's not a good idea for a guy to take care of Fiona and the others, is it?

You're supposed to be someone you hate as much as you want to kill, but what the hell is that consideration? I doubt Lily's mysterious kindness, but I didn't dare ask.

Well, Lily herself, if you're a servant in a private part, a woman would be more user-friendly than a man. Most importantly, the same homunculus does not seem to differ in personality and combat ability, even if there is a gender difference between men and women.

"You were mass-producing them here."

"It's a small piece of equipment on board, so we can only build it little by little."

I see, did you continue to do the trick and manufacture every day and get the numbers all the way over there? And he said he blew it up himself because of my "Dark Temple of Anti-Soul Songs (Requiem Hall)".

Even when it comes to artificial life, ethical concerns arise as to whether it can be easily made or broken.

Rifle equipped infantry has a degree of self-reliance a little better than normal me (Simobe), except for the first nine of The Living Corpse (Living Dead). Only they can say and do things close to real people. Lily said I'm not a budding wack, I'm just mastering advanced acting, apparently... but I can't tell if it's vegan or acting to me.

And they also use the body of the homunculus made here as a spare body for the nine. When I fought all nine of them in the battle with Nell, they were all destroyed in a light payback, but because they were using spares, they said the main unit was safe.

They can prepare as many spare bodies as they want, but they're not wacky enough to move at the same time with one's will, like a split body. So, only during an operation on the abandoned pawn premise, use such as letting the spare do it.

By the way, the last nine men who served Fiona said they were all bodies.

"Even now, you're still making it?

"For once. From now on, it might help. You don't have to take me home, but for now, if you leave me here, I won't be in trouble."

Apparently, Lily is not willing to let go of this Shangri-La and Distinyland stronghold when she returns to Sparda. It is strong everywhere.

Or can I occupy it on my own inside Avalon's dungeon? Well, look, nobody's coming anyway.

"This is the arsenal. There were a few armouries of infantry gear on board, but this was the only place left."

A room in the immediate vicinity of the Homunculus factory, locked with a door that is clearly thicker than the rest, is this arsenal.

"Oh, su, wow..."

How can a place like this, an arsenal, be an exciting thing for men?

Beautifully arranged on a metal rack and stored in a biscuit, the Homncrus soldier's rail gun rifle. And I thought it was a subwepon, and some racks fit handguns and knives. Is that palm-sized egg-shaped thing boxed in a grenade?

There are several other types of firearms that differ in shape and size from Homncrus soldiers' equipment, up to shelves that hold things that look like optional parts.

But the most noticeable of these is that there is an armor to be called a power suit, which looks like the middle of an armor and a robot. As far as units like the booster on my back, it's probably ancient armor with similar features to my 'Tyrant Armor (Maxilimian)'.

"Rifles, handguns, grenades... I was listening to Chrono, so I figured out how to use the weapons in general, but there were many things I couldn't move. The ancient armor was going to take a lot of work to activate, so I left it there."

"So as long as it takes a lot of work, does it work?

"Maybe we can move it. I don't know if I can use it, or if I have a user."

After all, should Simon, who works in gun creation from Tips and Ichi, be happy or cry if all the weapons here are available?

"Maybe we can also manufacture weapons on board?

"I can fix it, but I can't make it. From what I've seen, there was no equipment for that te"

Good, now if I could mass produce a rail gun, Simon's gun factory would finally be pointless.

"I wonder if the production facilities available in Shangri-La today are as good as the earlier Homunculus and then the food and beverage relationship and some magic equipment (magic items)"

"I see, so you could stay here forever"

"Yeah, it's not very tasty, so I almost let them buy out Ain't."

"... buyout?

"Metastasis is really convenient magic."

Soon, 'Meteor Striker', which was held in the little hand of Lily, a young girl, sheds light.

In the next moment, a big mirror will appear in front of us.

This is the first time I've seen it raw, but he's certainly a mirror that Lily comes through with metastatic magic. In Vivian's records, Lily had emerged from this mirror when she came to Fiona waiting on Shangri-La's deck.

"Is it ancient magic, too?

"Half correct. There is an advanced control circuit built into this Meteor Striker, which is also the first force of protection that can be used. Named 'Mirrorgate', this metastatic magic can be freely transferred if within the realm of Fairy Queen Iris"

"So you're saying you can't use it anywhere else?

"Yeah, I'm flying from the bridge to the capital, Avalon, using the" End of History (Zero Chronicle) "transfer feature."

Well, then you're an easy dick on your way home. I was just about ready to go through the realm of divine annihilation again and hang out with the Imperial Knight.

"Hey, if Chrono wants, you can go home once."

Beyond the mirror in front of you, "Mirrorgate," the end of history (Zero Chronicle), which would be the way back to Avalon, can be seen floating bonyardly.

If you go through this mirror, through the tablet, you'll be home soon. If that bothers you, you might be able to fly to Sparda's "End of History (Zero Chronicle)."

As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to go home to my mansion and get some rest...

"No, before we go home, we'll have to talk"

"Yes... you're ready"

"Rather, I'd like to see your face soon enough"

That's what I say, I laugh. I'm not laughing. I'm serious.

"Yeah, okay. Well, let's go, Fiona's waiting."

Shangri-La's guide must have been Lily's concern. I'm sure I'll suffer.

Speaking of which I'm perfectly fine, it's a lie.

But I'm so determined to be ready.

"Oh, let's go"

Sure, Lily got it with her strength.

But I don't know if Fiona will convince you of that - ha, if you're on the verge of a black burn, you'll be in the etherpod again soon, Lily.

Coming with Lily is the White Ash Castle in Distinyland, where we fought hard. They say the official name is' Distiny Palace '. Certainly something like Castle of Destiny for me and Lily.

I didn't notice at all during the battle, but said this castle, which is quite large, is not only just a spectacle, but also an accommodation. There are also several hotels within the land, but Lily said that the Palace Hotel was the most popular? Well, anyone would want to stay in a castle like this.

And now it's ours. I'm also allergic to spending time on a narrow vessel in Shangri-La, so all members who don't need treatment use this place.

What Fiona was waiting for was a suite, set on the same top floor as in the Throne Room.

"You kept me waiting, Fiona"

"No, not so much"

Seeing the two of you exchanging words as a matter of course, there's an emotion swirling somewhere similar to nostalgia in my chest.

But there will no longer be a return to the 'Element Master' routine that existed before the Galahad War. Time never rolls back, and people's feelings and positions change.

Still, we should be able to make it similar. The three of us, including Sariel, will be four, or we will all live in peace again. I have to do the same to Fiona and Sariel than I did to Lily.

Feeling better, I finally reunited with Fiona.

"Fiona... Are you hurt enough?

"Yes, Mr. Chrono."

"I'm fine, too. Thanks to Lily."

We were injured because of each other, Lily, but I dare not say it.

For one thing, with the usual expression, I feel safe in Fiona's safe appearance, dressed in my usual witch robe. I was worried it would be okay because the battle record kept Lily shooting me at close range at the end, but I guess I still completely healed while I was in the pod.

"Mr. Chrono, I... no, I guess apologizing would be different too"

"There's no need to apologize. I don't want to apologize either."

The stage of anger over her, how unsolicited the imitation, etc., will be long gone.

Fiona would understand that, too, but still, she went on to say the words.

"I tricked you into going back to Sparta."

"Right. That's when I cried out in the carriage."

I don't want to taste that rush, fear and despair that it's all going to be too late again.

"To protect you, that's just pre-construction. I just wanted to kill Mr. Lily because he was in my way."

"That would be mutual. You, Lily... me, too."

Beautiful, I can throw up as much as I want.

Still, in the end, it's your desire to be the driving force that moves you. Now I don't blame you for all that. Instead, I don't have the qualifications to do it anymore.

"In the end, I lost. We can't stop Mr. Lily, we just let Mr. Chrono take care of everything and help us."

"Thus, we were safe with each other. That's all right. Besides, the information Fiona left me was very helpful."

I didn't have to lose anything.

Should I say miraculously? Or should I say the inevitability chosen by Lily's will?

"Will you forgive me for just plaguing and tormenting Mr. Chrono, and for not being able to do anything?"

"Forgiveness. Because I love you."

Were you naturally embraced by Fiona because she continued her lover's life bent over? Her body, embraced in this arm for a long time, felt so thin and tight that it was likely to break, at any moment.

"So I won't let you go. Forgive me, I won't ask. I'm gonna get you and Lily, and I'm here."

Even if Fiona admits to not doing what she does, I don't want to say to the consideration. Because I just pierce my ego, too.

"... puffy"

Why are you laughing?

"It's strange that Mr. Chrono should say something so forceful."

I think I found out I can't, and suddenly I'm embarrassed.

"Don't laugh at me. How troubled you think I am to decide this readiness."

"I'm still worried, and I'm sure you'll be worried about a lot of things, and you'll continue to be worried, Mr. Chrono."

Say what comes with gusari.

Sure, I also feel like I can't do it for the rest of my life if both two or three of you surround the girl and ask her if she can reopen it and cool it down one day.

But even I care. Don't say too much about shaking things.

"You're such a Mr. Chrono, that's fine. I'm your thing."

Fiona's slender arm holds me back tight.

"... yes, when it's accepted with clams, it claps out the other way"

"Should I have cried and yelled at you angrily?

"No, give me a break after all. Thanks, Fiona."

"That's okay. I fought as hard as I could. No remorse."

For the sake of dialogue, I don't know how far I mean it, because there's no lucid grin, no smile as enlightened, and it's what I say with the same faceless expression.

But let's believe that word now. Even if it's a lie, for me and for Fiona, because I'm sure that's what's best.

"So, I'm still Mr. Chrono's lover, okay?

"Oh, yeah"

Lily's going to be my fiancée, but should I even propose to Fiona here? No, but I don't think it's something to say in the current momentum... more, like, atmosphere if you want to do it...

"I'm fine. For a while, stay a lover. I don't want any more now."

Fiona says, as if you've read my crap grid.

"... okay?

Unexpectedly, I gave it back that way.

"Yeah, I like this -"

That's how they kiss me.

Oh, shit. This kind of thing, you should have done it from me.

Oh, my God, am I womanly with repentance floating first?

"So, did Mr. Chrono already have sex with Mr. Lily?

"No, uh, that kind of story, hey now..."

I wander around to Fiona's straightforward questions, and, yeah, she was still the most feminine.
