Kuro no Maou
Episode 633: Welcome back.
"... this is Carla Mara"?
Breaking up with Mia, joining Lily at the temple, and finally finishing my breakfast, I widened the map of the Pandora continent looking for the name of an unknown city.
The endless city of desire, etc. is an admirable title, but seems to be quite famous for it. Carla Mara's name was written in letters as large as Avalon and Sparda.
"It's almost the southern tip of the continent."
"You have to cross the desert to get here."
The brown colour indicating the desert spreads to a good extent before Lily clings to it with a small fingertip. Atlas Grand Desert, is named, and almost in the middle of this desert is Carlamara. What the hell is a big city even though it's in the middle of the desert?
"Still, that's a long way..."
Even if we depart from the Hyram of Parthia, where we are now, we are on a considerable journey.
First of all, the prairie of Partier is vast. Just going south through here is quite a distance. Beyond the border and through the vast plains, the Balrog Mountains, with their many active volcanoes, stand, like walls that prevent them from heading south.
Through the mountains of high and steep flames, the Varna Forest Sea, the largest jungle on the continent, spreads.
If you cross the deep jungle sea, you will finally reach the Atlas Great Desert, a barren land.
If you are going on such a route, it is a great adventure.
"But you can't just not go"
"It's amazing to get to the end of Pandora!
Catcher and Lily are happy in the picnic mood. In this other world, where there are no cars or planes, it is a long journey to the edge of the continent, but with Lily, it would be fun to get to the end of the earth.
"In the meantime, I need to get back to Sparda and make a plan."
Mia immediately came down to warn me. There is no option to leave the defenseless original that it is in Carla Mara. Pinpointing at the monoliths in this Hyram, and the fact that the monastic guys have come aboard, you can try to grab some information about the monoliths on the Pandora continent already.
They need to make a concrete expedition plan and leave early, in anticipation of the fact that they're already moving.
We left the town of Hyram early, even as Lords and Kay held us back.
I was relaxed for when I came, but I was in a bit of a hurry on my way home. At times like this, as long as the magic lasts, the infinite stamina merry is reliable. Even the unscrupulous forcible army runs fine.
As a result, it was about a day shorter than the road to go, through the meadows of Partia, and back to the southern coast of Lemuria with a sea view.
"Hey, Chrono... stop by, I want to"
Lily accidentally said as she tried to turn toward Tolkis, the same way she came. It's a bit of a serious tone, so he seems to be regaining consciousness.
"Nothing, but where are you going?
Not to mention now wanting to experience a sea bath on a beautiful beach. If you're that interested, I'm doing it when I get here.
"Avalon, if you get on the boat from here, you can go straight to Serene. It's a route that's not too far away."
"Why are you in Avalon again?
"Just wanted to go check on Rand."
I see. To Distinyland, where Shangri-La sits, we can transfer from the small 'Beginning of History (Zero Chronicle)' in the mountain forest of Avalon. There's no better way to stop off the road like this than to head back to Sparda and then to Avalon.
Okay, let's go.
"Yeah, thanks, Chrono"
Lily smiling is as always, it should be... for some reason, it just seemed a little too much. Is it my fault, or are you worried about something?
If you're Lily right now, sometimes you hold it in poorly. When the time comes, you'll talk to me from yourself. Well, I'm still worried, so I'll just let the exploration in.
He then rescheduled abruptly and headed to Ousia, which became the port town on the southwestern side of the coast of Lemuria, which would be the other side of it, rather than Turkis.
Ousia had a port bigger than Turkis, but there are no beautiful sandy beaches on the coast and not much tourist fun. Anyway, as a maritime transport hub, countless merchant ships and large freighters are busy coming and going.
There seems to be some cruising in this other world as entertainment, but what we embarked on was a boneless transport ship. Prices are there and rooms are cramped. Instead, it goes straight to the port town of Serene in Avalon in the shortest possible time, and it puts a whole horseback ride like Merry on it.
It's a shame we're not going on a glorious sailing trip, but let's make that another occasion.
"Oh, you're pretty much rebuilding."
It's been a long time since I've felt, the town of Serene. It seems like a long time ago we fought chaossic limbs, but in fact it was only two months ago. Too, the events of the period fighting Lily are too intense for me to feel completely like old times.
Aside from my subjective senses, Serene had been considerably damaged by Chaosic Lim. Particularly big is the beam cannon released from the big lighthouse. I went straight from the edge of the city to the end.
I clearly remember that near the landing point it had turned into a pile of rubble, but walking like this now, the city was completely back to normal. The efforts of the city's people to rebuild and the monster disaster would also have made aid from the capital, Avalon, thick. Finally, it's a port town, and it'll be easy to collect supplies and materials.
However, only Serene Coliseum, the showdown ground where Cassic Lim was most raging, still had signs under construction.
Though it hasn't collapsed significantly, since it was originally an ancient site, you think it's harder than a normal building to restore it? They say they will reproduce the ancient ruins as they are, or they will be made to suit the modern era, and expert opinions will also crack. I mean, you're definitely taking the time to discuss a repair policy.
In the meantime, I would also like to take the time to sightsee Serene, who has successfully completed his restoration except for the Coliseum, but I still have to make this another opportunity.
When I give up playing one after the other like this, I just wonder if the Crusaders are doomed. Mostly, even I'm only seventeen...... no, it's been over a year since I've come to this other world, so will I be eighteen? Either way, I still want to play an assortment, and when I look at the various cities and scenery of different worlds in this way, I get the mood and interest to take a closer look.
We have to keep it down and keep fighting them, so even more, the resentment gets deeper. It's a terrible logic.
So, the 21st of the month of red flames.
He also crossed Serene and finally arrived at Avalon, the capital city of Lily's destination.
"Where is the place with the stone tablet?
"This way."
Take a narrow, unmarked mountain path like this with Lily's guide.
This area is a mountain forest outside the walls that surround the capital. Although it is a green mountain of nature, it has quite a few people's hands in it, and the monsters do not come out on this mountain either.
Sure, there must have been a hunter or a rat who lived in this mountain. On the way down the mountain road, I saw a wooden house with a season in it.
"Oh, that house over there is so brand new. Plus, it's a log house with a sprinkled design."
"There it is."
"Eh."
Lily tells him flat and that the log house is his destination.
The question was quickly solved as to what it meant.
"Welcome back, My Lord, My Princess"
From the log house, when the albino colored men you know come out of nowhere, kneel before me and Lily who show up to greet you.
In a matching black coat, exactly the same nine faces. The only difference is a bearer (nameless) cursed weapon each of which has a different kind. No, did it evolve into named (named) now?
Without distinction, they were the homunculus of Lily's faithful me (Simobe), the living corpse (Living Dead).
"I leave it to them to manage this place. It's the only metastasis that leads to Rand, so I thought I'd keep it under control."
"Were you... but can I build a house like this on my own?
"I've already bought a lot of land around here. For once, they're letting adventurers do their thing in Avalon, so they can earn their own money and keep protecting them."
Only capital investment for land purchase and log house construction is left to Lily to Pong first and then to them alone so they won't have a hand.
"We are currently working as adventurers in the capital, Avalon, under the name 'Pixies'. This place is supposed to be just our stronghold."
As a supplementary explanation, Aines told me about Homunculus I with the 'Knight Sword of Diamonds'. On his neck, a bronze guild card is lowered.
I see, as a Rank 3 adventurer with a large number as the middle tier and then a steady income, you seem to be working. I saw it at Distiny Castle, using ancient infantry gear would just be enough force to go right up to Rank 4... I guess this is about as far as not having to stand out.
"This place is supposed to be owned by Pixies, so you don't have to worry about people coming in and out of Land."
"I don't know what to say, you're a boulder, Lily."
As things stand, the best way to free Distinyland and the spaceship Shangri-La, which is within the divinely extinct realm of Avalon, is to keep it a secret.
If your presence is exposed to the Avalon army, you can't really tell if it will be taken in or whether you will be allowed to hold it, but you are certain it will be a hassle. When it comes to ownership, I honestly don't have time for legal arguments.
Lily, who has almost used her ancient heritage, can expect to continue using it as she does, but she can expect to gain strength in the future.
And, above all, we should be vigilant that the presence of Rand be made public, so that we can keep an eye on the Crusaders, and hence the Aria Monastery. Now that it is clear that they are after Monolith in the case of Hyram, the secrecy of the ruins of this Teh is even more important.
"But that doesn't matter to me. That's what I wanted most here."
Lily pulls me over looking softened somewhere, and I walk past the log house to my back.
Beyond it, across a small grove, stood only one small run-down cabin.
It's just a storeroom, which may also look like, but I did recognize myself in that cabin.
"Maybe... this cabin is from the Fairy Forest (Fairy Garden)"
"Yes, my home"
Somewhere shy, Lily said.
I spent only three months there in time... but for me life there is arguably the only time I've had the most peace of mind since I came to this other world. That hut, which I lost a long time ago, like a symbol of peace, was now being built before me again.
"Wow, no way, did you bring it?
"Yeah, I just rebuilt it similarly"
For that matter, it looks like a perfect reproduction. There can't be any drawing of a cabin, and how the hell can I rebuild that cabin from scratch exactly to this point?
"I lived there for thirty years. I remember the size, the dirt, the deterioration, everything."
And by outputting that memory telepathically to Ains and the others, he said, accurate reproduction is possible.
"But to make the cabin look old, it seems like a lot of work, huh?
I can make them do unfamiliar carpentry work, their hardships are sneaky.
"Come on, Chrono, let's go home."
Lily rushed to the cabin with a smile that she could play.
"Oh, yeah"
Today, the sun also falls. Tomorrow would be a good time to go to Rand and do that.
So tonight, it's not bad to immerse yourself in the memories of your day here.
So I slowly headed up to Lily's cabin and opened the doors of a shabby tree that I felt nostalgic for.
"Chrono...... Welcome Back"
"I'm home, Lily"
It's a farce stained, a false return. But this must have been our paradise.
In a reproduced lily's cabin, eating a dinner menu that reminds me of the time, leaning over a narrow bed and falling asleep, I feel as if I had timeslipped back then.
But I can't go back to those days anymore, and I'm not going back. Me and Lily, because our relationship has changed too much.
I can't deny that we're lonely or remembered somewhere... but I'm sure this is what we wanted.
I love Lily.
Lily loves me too.
My thoughts are right, my dreams come true. Tonight, Lily and I will be bonded.
"... Phew"
"Hey, why laugh?"
It is this reaction when I kiss Lily on a bed that has been staying up late at night.
"'Cause I didn't think you'd do it from Chrono's."
"Whatever it takes, even I realize it"
Why did Lily bother to invite me here? That's not just a stopover.
It was a full moon night today, the 21st of the month of the Red Flame, which arrived here. That's not a coincidence either.
In a place of memories, all night, a day when you can be a girl. Lily fed herself the place, the date and time, everything.
"So at least let me ask you out, from me"
"Yeah...... fine, Chrono"
Lily smiles with a sobering look, now lips from herself. French kisses that just overlapped and touched each other were overflowing with B femininity everywhere.
Fairy Lily, the girl of eternity.
I don't think it belongs in this world, I'm going to be heartily fascinated by the way she looks beautiful and glowing.
"Beautiful, Lily"
"hehe, maybe a little embarrassed"
Lily, who dyes her cheeks to the vermilion, exposes herself to an unbridled nudity. Being naked is normal if you are a fairy, but even the vale of white and radiant light was lost in its flesh, and the skin of a bright white ball was dewy.
The fairies are naked because they are wrapped in the 'Fairy Realm (Oracle Field)', so they are equipped with defenses that, if not embarrassed, do not interfere with their lives and even allow them to fight. But now, from Lily's body, the fairy kingdom (Oracle Field) disappears completely, and only the flesh of a luxurious girl is there as it seems. For Lily, this means naked in the true sense.
Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen the girl Lily completely naked in her figure. Well, she'd be ashamed, too, and I'd be a little embarrassed.
Beautiful nudity to fall in love with, just hugged and almost broken, I even hesitate to touch my love for a reason... but my instincts bark when I want Lily.
"Patience, you don't have to. Because..."
Lily jumps into my chest with a smile as she sees through the chaotic chest where love and desire swirl.
"- Because Lily is a Chrono thing."
