Kuro no Maou

"We've caused you a lot of trouble this time. I'm so, so sorry."

"That's okay, keep your head up, Elina"

Keep your head almost at the right angle and I'll rush to stop Elina in the sincere, beautiful apology pose.

Why is the receptionist for the Spartan Adventurer Guild giving such a serious apology that there is a mistake in the guild's work and the damage to me as an adventurer is not wacky?

"Neither did I think the matchmaker was Elina."

Talk about a pageant that Mr. Ellywood was to receive the other day because of his unscrupulous gesture. When Lily and Fiona arrived at the famous hotel in the aristocratic city, which became a pageant venue, not to be rude, they were introduced to Ellywood as their proud daughter, Elina, a familiar receptionist.

Surprisingly, at the same time, I was convinced for some reason.

I didn't think you were coming, either, Chrono.

Ha, and Elina holding her head with a heavy sigh.

Anything, Mr. Ellywood said I was the man I expected to be, quite exaggerated and advertised how Elina's opponent was a great man. Scattered, stirring up expectations, because it's me you know who's had to come, so, you're disappointed?

"No, something, I'm sorry"

"Chrono, why are you apologizing?"

Hehe, and Elina with a bitter laugh. It is also certain that we are strangely uncomfortable with each other now.

Elina looked at me face to face, seemed to understand everything, stuffed Mr. Ellywood with an awesome sword screen, and unilaterally screwed up, she drove him straight back.

So you don't have to listen to the "I'll leave you to the two younger ones later" dialogue, you're exiting. It's a pity about my father's face that my daughter is getting so magnificent and dispersed... I haven't been a father yet, but as the same man, I somehow knew how to feel and was invited to sympathize.

No, but for me and for Elina, it's bad for Mr. Ellywood, who didn't reveal his opponent's name a lot, so I'm not giving him a help boat.

"Already, Chrono, you're busy as a Rank 5 adventurer, and it looks like you've had some personal circumstances, especially lately... my dad, who's just a knight, isn't a good opponent to ask for."

Mr. Ellywood's as good as squadron leader in the first squadron, so he's quite the elite. Just a knight, and not in a good position to treat him like a soldier.

However, it is also true that I also have quite a bit more social standing than having the rank 5 adventurer title. Most importantly, compared to a knight or an adventurer, it's a nonsense in itself.

"Never mind. I almost got my personal quest done. It was just the right time to make good on your promise."

"Promise... Dad just pushed it unilaterally anyway"

Boulders, just daughters, I know very well. I have nothing better to answer than a bitter smile.

"Ha, but I nervously lost it. I was wondering if I could finally get married because my dad was so serious."

"After all, I don't like who my parents decide to be with."

"But like an aristocrat's imitation, even knights have quite a few of those... my dad was great there, and I couldn't help but marry a pageant"

"That's why it wouldn't be honestly acceptable"

Especially the topic of this hand is timely for me right now. If I think about my choices, I'll have to affirm my romantic marriage for the rest of my life.

"Yeah, well... if anyone likes it, it's more than that."

"Oh, did you? Right."

"It's already dull."

"Does that mean you're someone I know!?

I'm surprised you liked Erina, but I'm even more surprised that she seems to know me.

I wonder who. Honestly, I'm not that familiar with other adventurers. Erina's a receptionist, so you'll remember a lot of faces and names... but speaking of adventurers I know... maybe Nero, no, or Ky or something? Falcius, it's possible.

A man around here would be comfortable falling in love, but it would be difficult to accomplish love.

"Uh, what, um, if there's anything I can do, I'll cooperate."

"Fine, I'll take care of that myself"

I'm sorry I can't count on you. In fact, I have trouble being relied upon. My romantic experience was quite a departure from what I would call a common sole.

"By the way, Chrono, as a result of your personal quest, can I ask you something?

"Oh, yeah -"

Now that it's all over safely, it's the only time I can make Elina laugh and listen. Have a hell of a crazy-ass fight at Avalon. But let me lay down the radical part.

"... well, that was tough again."

"Well."

Elina, the boulder, also looks like a donkey to the Great Councillor caused by the sentiment between Rank 5 Adventurers. Again, it's miraculous that the dead weren't.

"But now we're going to act as' Element Masters' again."

"Oh, I'm going to"

Mia is warned that instead of leaving, the Crusaders' threat is finally gaining influence. It's not like I'm rubbing it in my inner circle anymore.

"That would have been nice. Keep using the Sparda Adventurer Alliance."

"It's quick and bad, but I have a few things to ask you"

"I see you in the corner privately, and you're already talking about work?

"Oh, Sman. 'Cause lunch is a luxury."

"Lunch here is pretty expensive, isn't it?

"A meal is cheap."

Nice, normal girls have a common sense of how much to eat.

"Fine, I was wondering what you're going to do, too, Chrono. So, what do you want to hear from first?

That night I ended up collecting more information than just a pageant, listening to what was happening with Sparda from Elina, I never turned my back on Lily. No, I'm not prepared to be erotic, I'm purely about the course of action to be taken.

"According to the story, even Sparda began to hear the name of the 'Aria Monastery'"

Sounds like it.

On the bed, I hold my little lily like a stuffed animal, but her consciousness has already switched to adult stuff.

"Mia said. They said they were trying to implement some other way to regain the influence of the White God on Pandora than just preaching."

"Um, any tips?

"I don't know anything, the trouble is"

In the end, we have to explore the situation ourselves from Ichi. I feel like I've just been compromised because something sucks, so hurry and find out.

"Well, then, it's not a question of how we can do it right now."

Investigation is both manpower and time consuming. Well, I'm an amateur when it comes to Te's activities. There was no alternative to becoming another adventurer who was good at investigating and making requests.

"Fine, I'll take care of this one."

"Sorry, I'm counting on you."

"It's okay, it's me and Simobe who actually move."

Lily seems to have a policy of taking advantage of Homunculus quickly.

Headed by Ain, the Nine Living Corpses (Living Dead) are able to act independently without being inferior to real humans.

"Thoughtfully, maybe I could let one or so of you infiltrate the 'Aria Monastery'."

"Is that... is that okay?

"If you're really going to be brainwashed, that's going to pay off. If you have to, you can blow yourself up."

I just wanted to say that you work a little harder, but the benefits of undercover investigation are enormous. There's nothing wrong with them being spare-bodied and replaceable with dangerous tasks that normal people can't handle.

"Ugh, Chrono just needs to wait for the results"

"I feel spoiled."

"It's the right material. But I'm still a beginner at running Homncrus, too, so it's going to take a while to get things done."

The homunculus that Lily continues to manufacture in Shangri-La already have a splendid way to make use of it.

One, simply as a force of war.

Now we have as much power as we can cross on an equal footing with the Apostle… with the Apostle, there are countless Crusaders. There's never been more than one force.

It is also possible to establish a mercenary corps in earnest if the number of homunculus and the level of proficiency increase. It's not much of a pin talk for me right now, and even if I could, I'd still be ahead of me.

The second is, as a workforce.

Whatever you do, you need manpower. We also put a butler and maid in our wake, starting from the visible, and have a job as a worker in Lily's Ancient Technology Research & Restoration. If you can afford the number of people, you can send them to Simon's gun factory. If there's anything else you need, you can push anything, blah blah blah, because you're a convenient slave, Lily said dignified.

"Besides, Chrono has something to do, right?

"Oh... first, I have to try the last protection"

I've survived all the trials, but that's not what made me the most powerful demon king. Even the protection I have already mastered is not yet satisfactorily handled. It is unknown what the seventh protection is capable of.

I'm sure, after the trial, I finally got to the starting point.

By the way, now that we have finally survived all the trials, it is time to officially prove our protection in the Temple! And with intent, I boarded the Grand Temple of Sparda again... The result is that it is unknown.

Apparently, Mia's name doesn't seem to be guaranteed in the ritual of proof of protection if she doesn't make the power of the Demon King her own thing entirely.

Well, I know my immaturity. At best, let's do our best.

"Did you have just the right quest to try?

I didn't go to the guild today.

"But you heard from Elina, didn't you?

"... well"

It's rude of you to go to a pageant and talk almost exclusively about your work with them again. No, but you don't even want me to tell you a weirdly colorful story, and Elina herself, she has thinkers, so I can't say anything very bad.

The business-like relationship is that this makes it easier.

"In the meantime, I have a few candidates, so I'll go to the guild tomorrow and pick them out."

I have to earn some serious adventurer work. This time I also put out an expensive quest, The Unstepped Realm Attack of the Divine Realm Avalon, which is a considerable expense. To put it bluntly, about 200 million clans.

But that's still less than half of the original plan. 'Cause I've specified that quest rewards are 100 million each. There were four members gathered together in Kai, Falkius, Rudra and Selis.

By the way, Simon has previous investments, so it's a promise to deduct them from it. Because I'm a friend, I wouldn't be wacky enough to make you work unpaid.

Anyway, the quest was accomplished safely, or my purpose was fulfilled, so naturally, I have to pay for all four of them... but the only two I paid were Kai and Falkius.

Rudra disappears at some point and doesn't get paid in the first place. Well, if you're within a certain period of time under guild policy, you're alive with your right to receive your reward, so if you show up in the meantime, I'll pay you... maybe he won't visit under me.

And I have to pay Celis a hundred million clans, too, but how dare he decline.

"I couldn't do a big job, and I didn't get hurt."

That said, it makes no difference that I stepped on Avalon with my life and fought Lily.

"The reward resigns, but... I want Krono to help me next time"

It's not a joke or anything, and if you say that seriously everywhere, you have to nod as far as I'm concerned. Apparently, I have to fight a battle worth a hundred million for Celis.

Now, if you asked me what the hell that was, the answer would not have come back.

"Nothing right now, I can't tell you the details. But if the time comes... Chrono, I can count on your help."

That's not true, there are signs of conspiracy on the part of the Avalon aristocrats, it was a blatantly reminiscent dialogue of Celis... okay, dear, let's just say I'll wait then and then.

Of course, if you change your mind and say 100 million after all, I will pay you anytime within the reception period.

Anyway, it's been a billion-unit expense, so if you think about what's to come, you have to make good money and save up military money. If you don't have the money at times, and you're not ready, it would be a rank five adventurer's name break.

"Hehe... it's been a very long time since Chrono and Quest went together"

"Right."

With the exception of the Galahad War on Urgent Quests, will the last quest I did with Lily be the 'Last Rose Crusade'? Sure, it's been a long time.

"I'm going to the guild tomorrow."

"Oh, let's not pick a quest together"

In such a non virile atmosphere, me and Lily went straight to sleep.

"Mr. Lily, it's my turn to sleep with Mr. Chrono today, so get out of here."

"Mmm, hey!

Suddenly he returns to the toddler girl and relentlessly pulls Lily back into her bed, Fiona instead.

"Uh, well, whatever I say, be nice."

"The closer we get to each other, the more we kill each other, don't we?"

"It's a fight."

It's a joke that won't be stylish for you. I can't laugh when I think of two of my buddies who killed each other with bees.

"You know what, either way."

It's not good, and my mouth gets blocked before the scratch comes out. The softness of the lips that touch, the fragrant fragrance that tickles the nose. Even if you experience it more than once, your heart beats. Well, when you come all of a sudden, you're in a hurry for it.

Still... I felt Fiona was more intense that night because I went to the pageant or something.
