Kuro no Maou

Chrono came to help - Fiona, once again asked such a dreamy story, still felt like she was dreaming unrealistically.

I lost to Lily and thought she was dead. Or, even if you're alive, you'll never wake up again.

But when I woke up unexpectedly, I came to visit - and I realized that now, like this, I drink relaxing and hot tea in a suite of buildings that are incredibly splendid, even for royalty.

"... ha"

A sigh of worry, I didn't even know what the hell it was about.

While I understood reality, Fiona's head didn't turn. I'm sure it's because I didn't envisage a situation like this. Do you want to beat Lily to get Chrono, or die losing to Lily?

This situation, where you defeated but never died, and furthermore, you have to reconcile with Lily.

In case Chrono leaves a message called Vivian for a rescue operation, or a Lily crusade... but still, such an end was unexpected. I'm sure that nobody wanted it, not just myself, but Lily and Saliel, Nell.

No, just one, only Chrono wished, and, you know, made it happen.

"I didn't know you'd lose to Mr. Chrono"

Should I repent or rejoice? I don't know what to think. But I didn't feel strange or bad.

"... oh, this is delicious"

When I threw one of the mountains of tea treats, prepared with tea and a set, into my mouth, the sweetness soaked my body so good.

Whatever it is, it's good to be alive. Yes, Fiona had a sincere sense of relief.

"- Excuse me. What about the flavor of the tea our kids fry, Fiona?

Lily appears as the door opens in Russia.

There is no knock, because this room belongs to her in the first place.

Though I know, there are waves in my calm mind.

"Delicious, but not as good as Saliel"

"Yes, I'll let you practice better"

Fiona answered plainly, but the opposing Lily laid back in the seat in front of her while being even more relaxed.

The most familiar figure of a beautiful girl. Yes, Lily's feathers were back to what the fairies were meant to be, and the disastrous red butterfly feathers were gone. Finally, the left eye, where the "Black No-Eye Ball (Yvil Eye)" was supposed to fit, was also an emerald green eye, as if it had healed back to normal.

"Surprisingly early, you're reunited"

"Yeah, thanks to Chrono."

I know.

Because this is all the backdrop to the battle between Lily and Chrono.

Shortly after I woke up, Fiona only had enough strength to finally stand. If I had any power at all, I would have intervened in the battle between the two before Simon, knowingly both impeccable and unscrupulous, but happy or unhappy, Fiona at that time could only see it as a bystander.

"Well, you understand the situation, don't you?

"Yes, one street is"

I just met Lily face-to-face, and now I have nothing to ask you about the situation.

Therefore, there is only one thing she needs to hear.

"What are you going to do, Lily?"

"Yeah, I'm here to talk about that. I need to talk to you before Chrono wakes up."

If you say so, it would be a situation such as the so-called one former sheath, or something.

It is an impossible story, however, to go back to the original relationship as if nothing had happened while keeping this much fighting going. Now, without any discussion, if the awakened Chrono and Lily and Fiona meet together as they are, they will also risk falling into a muddy training ground again.

"I love Chrono. So I'll make his wish come true."

Chrono's wish. It is, in other words, a harem aspiration so straightforward that there is no excuse either for Lily, Fiona or Saliel to make it their thing.

"... really, is that okay with Mr. Lily?

Even if it's not Fiona, if it's a woman, naturally listen. It would be a natural word to doubt.

"Yeah, 'cause I lost something"

But Lily let it run out of grandeur, as if she had no remorse at all.

"Really?"

Why, or so easily, or so, Fiona had no more suspicious words. It's just because I understand that Lily is serious.

I know how she feels, wondering, though I don't have telepathy or anything. Or is this the move to make friendship?

"Fiona, how about you? Do you still love Chrono?

Disillusioned. Answer immediately if normal.

From a woman's point of view, such as the man's grand declaration of harem, it would mean that a thousand years of love would also be cold. As much as they say that, it's still better to be silently cheated on...... but Lily's love is eternal, and I'm proud that my love is no better than hers again.

Even if you lose a battle that bets Chrono, you'll never let this burning sun-like heat fade away.

"I love Mr. Chrono. But..."

"It's okay, I get it, Fiona. It's another matter of love and forgiveness for other women."

Correct, that's right.

Just because you love them doesn't make it a wack to satisfy their desires indefinitely. A relationship that merely devotes itself unilaterally, it is, at the earliest, merely a slave.

"That's why I've come to convince you."

"Persuasion, is it?

"Yeah, to make Chrono's Harlem happen,"

That smile makes me feel like a zombie.

Fiona was reflexively simulating how far she could fight now.

Though momentarily frightened by Lily's power, the fear that frightens her instantly replaces, however, the fuel that lights a spark of fighting spirit on her empty heart.

"Fiona, I want you to be Chrono's lover for a while."

"What about Mr. Lily?

"Hmm, I'm your fiancée"

I see, is that what you came for? I can peek at Lily's pride as she subtly changes her title.

"Fiona as a lover, I as a fiancée, and Sariel as a slave, that's fine as long as it's Chrono. First of all, so far,"

"It's a long and vague, halfway relationship."

But that would be better for Chrono. Although that's understandable, it's hard to snort instantly if asked if it's enough reason to be convinced.

"There's still a reason I can't marry Chrono."

"Nothing, there shouldn't be a ban on bigamy in Sparda?

Rather, fewer countries would explicitly prohibit it as a law. Essentially, even strict crucifixion for relationships between men and women, Harlem also implicitly understands that there is no denial of having children under the slogan of having more.

But I knew as soon as I saw Lily's face that she wasn't talking about that kind of rules-based problem.

"Getting married is easy in itself. Instead, Chrono seems to tell me because of a sense of responsibility... hey Fiona, what do you think is ahead of us when we get married to Chrono?

"Happiness, is it"

"That's right. If we go that far, we can't go back, and I'm sure, the more we can't scratch one, the more important happiness is there - so that's where it ends."

"Finish? What is it?

"When we get married, Chrono won't be able to fight."

It is not a question of Crono's own feelings, it is a question of the situation.

For example, let's just say we keep going home and Lily and Fiona married Chrono. I don't know what 'Element Master' newlyweds will look like at all, but they'll still have funny, funny, happy days.

Maybe even kids can do that while you're spending it.

"I wonder what would happen if the Crusaders attacked us."

"You will also go to Galahad"

"Yeah, after the troubles, Chrono will go. But if only one child was born..."

"You didn't think Mr. Chrono was going to run away?

"Fiona, just as we love you, so does Chrono."

Because I love you. Because it's the most important thing. I desire to protect it more than anything else - hence even the hero of the Galahad war, the Black Nightmare Mad Warrior (Nightmare Berserker), is enough for a reason to escape the battlefield.

"Chrono, that's why we should make the decision to prioritize our safety, even after suffering, abandoning Sparda. And if Chrono tells you to run... hehe, you, can you say no?

"Oh, you can't do that."

If that Chrono gave up the peace of Sparta but gave himself priority, I could gladly take his hand to the end of the earth and run away.

Yes, because neither Lily nor Fiona have as much of a mission as Chrono to protect Sparda, and hence the Pandora continent, from the devil's hands of the Crusaders. If Chrono is the man who lives righteously, the two are the women who live in love. There are no shards in them, such as their brother-in-law, who protects many others whose faces are unknown, named the innocent people, until they risk their lives.

"We're fine. Even a life like running away from the Crusades for the rest of our lives, we'll be fine, and if we have Chrono, we'll be happy. But the future ahead of us will surely haunt Chrono until we die"

Even if we put love and peace on the balance and Krono chooses love, that doesn't make it possible to turn down all the untrained and regretted things about peace.

Chrono will continue to blame himself for the rest of his life. If I keep fighting. Because of my own remorse for my choices, I have nothing to reveal to my companion Lily, Fiona, or anyone else. It's the two people I chose to be the most important, which is why I can't even tell you.

"I don't want Chrono to think that way"

"But to do that..."

"Yeah, it's not easy. So I made up my mind"

Even now, neither Lily nor Fiona have fought for Pandora's peace. Just for the man I love, what I've done.

But now it's time to fight them too.

"Will you defeat the Crusaders?"

"Yeah, they are the most troubling seed for Chrono and the biggest enemy in the way for our happy future...... so the Crusaders will be wiped out. Kill the Apostle as well. For Chrono and me."

"Are you serious?"

"I told you, I will grant Chrono's wish"

Chrono does not have heroic aspirations or ambitions for continental unity. Just nature and the willingness to be born guardian as a result of the days I've spent and the people I've met. He wants to protect everyone.

But such a chrono is another person, just a man. I can't stand to sacrifice everything I have, or do it for the good of justice or peace. Now that he has sworn his love to Lily and Fiona, Chrono will surely choose love even at the expense of peace when he is forced to make the ultimate choice.

"Does that mean that Mr. Chrono's wish is both to live happily ever after with us and to bring peace by defeating the Crusaders"

Should we call that greed, or should people hold it for granted? If you just want it, if you just want it, the simple ideals that anyone can do. But that's why it's just a dream that will never come true.

"Yes, ask Chrono to save Pandora first. So..."

But if an individual had fulfilled such an ambition, the person would be called this in Pandora.

- I'll make Chrono the Demon King.

Project Chrono Demon King.

That was Lily's new goal, no, a grand declaration to be called ambition.

"Really... right... okay, Mr. Lily"

"I'm glad you understand."

"There's no stray, it's a lie, but I'm sure I know it's the only way left."

Fiona lost to Lily. And Lily lost to Chrono. As the one and only lover I am, monopolizing him will never happen again in the future.

"It's okay, Fiona. If you can't stand it, I'll deal with you again."

"I won't. Next time, there will be no life."

Lily and Fiona, it can only be a miracle that we both survived. Again, if you fight with a jealousy-driven desire for exclusivity, you will surely lose your life. Is that Fiona or Lily or Chrono, or all of them?

Fiona, who has picked up her life by turning, is now afraid to part with Chrono forever by death.

"Well, I don't want to fight you anymore, either. So from now on, you want to work together for Chrono. Just like before."

"'Element Master' Regrouped, Right"

That's how Lily and Fiona shake hands.

"Yeah, we're the two of us next to Chrono."

"But I guess that's not a wacko named Antai either, from now on"

Fiona and I understand what it means for Chrono to take the road to the Demon King. And how much of Lily's readiness to push it forward is also.

"Yeah, if I have to, I'll let as many other women be crono things"

"But I'm not willing to give up next to him... because if you're going to be the Demon King's Harlem, you're not going to be able to stand it unless you're at least at its top."

"That sort of thing. I think Fiona can do it. Because he's my best friend."

"Well, I'm your best friend."

White language of friendship. But if it is Lily, and not Fiona, who sits next to Chrono for each other, then surely we will not be wholeheartedly convinced.

Now I'm not willing to give it to anyone else.

"How's Sariel?"

"Don't worry about her. Sariel is a slave, something that can never stand next to his master."

"But she..."

"That's why. Because that child's rivals are not me, you or anyone else, just yourself."

Shirazaki liko curse.

If Lily talked about it, Fiona the boulder also had a point.

It seems that Saliel has something, which Fiona also assumed was a so-called one-woman inquiry. But Lily's arm, which clearly revealed who she was... honestly, I can't forbid the war.

At the same time, it was easy to guess how Lily defeated Sariel.

"That's the kind of wacko that makes Sariel no longer a disturber to us. She just has to stay in Chrono's slavery until she's satisfied - heh, so she agreed to my plan in two replies."

"Oh, here we are. I didn't know you were rooting for Sariel first."

Before Fiona, Lily brought up the Chrono Demon King project with Saliel.

This ambition to fulfill all of Chrono's wishes leaves no room for Saliel to disagree. Even if Chrono has the potential to build a real harem surrounding so many women from now on, Sariel's position as a slave and, above all, its heart, imprisoned by the curse of Lily Shirazaki, will not create a will to deny.

So, if Lily and Saliel agree... where Fiona expressed opposition, the situation is unfavourable. At least, for Chrono, all three are equally lovable beings. That's why that voice varies depending on the number of people.

It meant that Lily had already made a situation in her favor and then brought the story to Fiona.

"If you still disagree that I don't like it"

"It's okay, because I believed Fiona would understand."

"I see, you mean you had already prepared bait for me too"

"No, I thought about it for you - how Chrono and the kids can make it."

Even though I know it's scattered bait, I can't help but eat it.

Fiona accidentally sighs.

That is not what we should be hearing on this occasion right now. Until I thought so calmly, it took a beat.

"Really, you're no match..."

"Ugh, thanks"

Because Lily was moving for her own plan as soon as possible, even though she said she was frightened by the end of the fight.

Before Lily, the smile she receives as a grand compliment, as Fiona, she only embarrasses herself for her impudence.

"So, what's the specific plan?

"Well, for the time being, we're thinking about building ourselves up as we've done before, as well as enhancing our full strength because we have this Shangri-La."

"Do you want to launch even a mercenary regiment?

"That might be nice, too."

There is much that can be done and much that needs to be done. If you're looking to defeat the Crusaders, you'll have as much to prepare for.

"Oh, and although this is only at the conceptual stage -"

"What is it?

"I'm going to marry Nell and get Avalon. What do you think?"

And Lily burst an oversized bomb with a full grin.
