Kuro no Maou

On the 28th of the month of Red Flame, we finally returned to Sparda. Simon, who has been immersed in Shangri-La since he finished the fight with Lily, is also returning to Sparda with him, meaning that he should leave once in a while. Lily decided to stay at Distinyland so that she could be replaced by Simon. He wants to take care of Homunculus and see how Shangri-La is being restored.

We went on a quest as far away as Partier and on our way home we also had a spiritually fatiguing event called the celebration at Avalon, and we haven't been back to our house in a long time, so we just want to slow down for a while. But Mia, I can't even relax much more than I've already been subjected to a direct burst.

Quickly, I thought I'd take action - a new invitation came under me on the arrow tip.

"Master, Dear Wilhardt Tristan Sparda, I have deposited your letter"

Receive a letter from Saliel, who has been away for a long time. It seems to have arrived at us just after Avalon's invitation came. It's the kind of time I weighed my way back to Sparda.

Well, what's in Will's letter...

"Good, looks like we haven't seen each other in a while"

Avalon's invitation was no less than a long and much-worded text, but in short, it stated that I had finally free time, so I hadn't seen her in a long time and wouldn't even drink. Just in case, even if I asked Sariel to confirm the decryption, he said no doubt about it.

If it's an invitation from one of my few friends, there's no reason to say no. It's just that me and Simon are back in Sparda, and it's been a really long time since a trio of soul allies came together.

With such a wacko and an invitation in two replies, I came the next day, on the night of the month of Red Flame, to a shop in the noble town where Simon and I had been designated in a letter.

The boulder is the shop chosen by Will, the royal family. dress code as a matter of course. Hey, it's good to have your outfit ready at Avalon. Seriously.

I didn't want to go through my sleeves for a while, I pulled out my mentally cramped school-run-style costume early and asked Sariel to help me put it on, while the sheep interrupted me, and when I was ready and challenged, I made my way into the store safely.

Simon, on the other hand, was a rougher outfit than I thought.

"What? Nothing to dance with. I'm not wacky, and I'm just about dressed like this. Brother, aren't you overwhelmed?

Speaking of which, Simon has the image of a poor alchemist, but he is also the adopted son of the Baldier family of the four Sparda nobles. The common sense of the aristocratic community seems to hold together... let me know first.

Anyway, this made it all go together on time.

"The time has come! Now it is time for the three black destinies that have separated them, to cross again, to raise their joyful voices -"

"Yes, Kanpai"

"Cheers."

Will, who I haven't seen in a long time, reassures me somewhere as usual. Or even though I dare to think that's why you're behaving like that now.

"I'm sorry, Chrono. When you were in distress, I couldn't even give you one of my advice."

First of all, I was apologized for my troubles with Lily, a total internal dispute. Sure, I wanted Will to talk to me then, and I just wanted one of my advice.

However, in modern Japan, you can easily consult friends in love, whether by phone, email, or SNS, but in this other world, there is no other means of communication than letters. It's common for us not to see each other for months if it's not a little convenient for each other.

"No, that's okay. Instead, Simon did his best, you know."

"Yeah, well, it was tough, then..."

No sarcasm, no modesty, and seriously, I think Simon, with his far-eyed eyes, has put a real hard time on him.

With gratitude, I first told Will about my recent circumstances, from the Chaosic Rim crusade to the Battle of Lily.

"Harlem...... um, sounds really good. It's a man's dream."

"I'm embarrassed when they say that in advance."

"I think once again, I don't think it's that scary."

My Harlem Manifesto.

On the face of it, I've decided to realize a man's desire (yume), as Will said, while the truth is, I'm also constantly anxious to see how far Lily and Fiona can stay connected.

If they consign and flip the anti-flag, I'll be done in every way. Because even with the protection of the Demon King, you can't see the vision of winning a head-on battle against the other two.

"Ha ha! You really have a delicate heart that doesn't suit your face... well, it's only enough for a woman to stand up and look good. It's just right to spit weak tones and stupidity on your friends."

"Right, right... well, listen to me for a second"

"Hey, shouldn't you keep your eyelids on? Mr. Lilly, I think you might be watching."

How rude of you, Simon. Lily will never imitate anything that goes against my trust again. I believe her...... but I'll keep it on.

While preventing Lily from spying on me, I also borrow the booze momentum and smash things I can't usually tell you even if my mouth is torn.

"Regret, not so much... I don't know why this happened, I think... like this, you know, love, love, I, I thought it was a prettier mon, and I usually admired the harem surrounded by pretty girls..."

"Uh-huh, reality is something cruel. It would also be common for dreams to come true and be different from the ideals I had in mind"

"Ha, really, why do I have to go through such a bloody stink..."

My first experience was with bloody Sariel. Fiona is going to take the hostage and confess, and to Lily, she's finally engaged by giving her heart. I don't have any lok memories.

"You wanted a sweeter and more sour experience or something."

"Mr. Lily, I don't think we can talk to them about that. 'Cause I've been ready since the beginning. When I was about to see blood, I thought I'd been in Alsace."

"Seriously, since then?

"Yeah."

Simon said that at the time I met Lily, it was impossible to have a lovely love like a romance novel. Once, a fairy girl whose love heart was lit, no one can stop her anymore. Pure love along the way can also be madness with no choice of means.

"- But I don't want to start over. No, if I could do it all over again, I'd be the first in the world to see Lily."

"Hmm, has Noroke begun?"

"Embarrassing dialogue, don't say it in the face"

Ultimately, I'm just starting to feel like my girlfriend's bragging, changing the subject.

Now we need to hear Will's update.

"I heard you've been busy a long time."

"Well, actually... I've decided to join the Spartan army."

"Oh, really? What about the seminary?"

"A year early, but I graduated"

I guess it doesn't matter at this point if you're a flying class or a special treatment. The important thing is that even with some push of force, it's why we made Will a serviceman.

"How could it be such a sudden story?

"The Fifth Galahad War ended in the victory of Sparta, but to the power of the Crusades, my father, King Leonhardt, poses more threats than Daedalus. Not as much as rumours have spread to Shirai yet, but we are very busy in Royal Castle restructuring our defense system, under water, in preparation for the next battle."

Sparda was still in a state of victory, a defensive battle with no new territorial gains or compensation from the other country, but thanks to the thick assistance from the Allied City State, the payment of the grace prize was also made without delay, even to the soldiers, knights and adventurers. Looking only at the results, it seems like we have successfully waged and ended a defensive war... but if we go through that fight, it is only natural to be anxious about the next one.

He even sent out to hundreds of thousands of infantry soldiers, chimeric soldiers, not to mention tactical original magic (original) users, apostles at the end of the sentence. It's clearly different from fighting a Daedalus opponent.

"That's the kind of wacko that I'm going to train in the Knights so that I can enter the next battle as a royal end."

"No way, Will is going to be on the battlefield!?

"Hey, don't worry, nobody expects me to have sword arms or anything. Backward service at the Royal Castle... Well, is it a good place to be entrusted with the command of the Heavy Forces in detail"

That would be reassuring. No way, even if I didn't have the power to fight, I'd have to run the battlefield off the lead of soldiers beyond being a prince, or something like that. It would have sucked if I had a royal family lesson.

"Even though they are princes, they are leopards who have just left seminary. From now on, as a knight who protects Sparda, there are many things to remember."

"I see, you're a wacko not coming back to seminary with reason"

"Sorry, how many minutes, suddenly it was a secret story, and I couldn't even tell Simon what was going on"

"Fine, it's fine. I was kind of guessing."

On the contrary, you wouldn't be able to sniff around Will because you cared. Now you're a fine prince, and once you get into the royal castle, you can't tell what's going on inside.

"Is it okay to talk now?

"Not to this extent. Besides, if you keep it a secret, you can guess the approximate circumstances."

"Given Will's position... after all, marriage or something?

"What, Will, you're getting married!?

"The need to strengthen alliance relations has increased for the next Galahad war. My best, when it comes to serving Sparta, I will end up in a political marriage."

"That's right."

"Huh? What, why is it such a dry reaction when Will and Simon are talking about marriage?

"Well, Will is the second prince."

"Um, I'm the one with the flourishing sparda."

"Wow, stop calling that name vain at this time"

Well, Wilhardt, as a royalty, Simon, as a common sense of nobility, accepts political marriage as a very ordinary thing.

Like or dislike, romantic feelings are second to none. At the time of his birth to the royal family, the responsibility of the clan is more pressing than personal freedom.

From the fact that I was born into a general family in Japan and that I was free everywhere in this other world, an adventurer, I wouldn't really understand the part.

"Have they decided yet?

"At the time of my birth, I had many candidates, but now they're getting more realistic, pretty narrow"

"Because Farren is already married to the First Princess...... Is it a place called Partier with a fateful Avalon, a rival rune, and a big hole?

You mean if I marry the Partier royal, Will's daughter-in-law will be Centaur? I don't mean to discriminate, but is that okay or not...

"The boulder is Simon, follow the good"

Yeah, well, seriously, isn't there a zero chance of daughter-in-law Centaur?

"No more, I'll ask you no more"

"It would help if you did. I pray that beauty will be appreciated."

Ha ha, and I'm laughing lightly Will, but as far as I'm concerned, I don't care what you say. I get lost choosing words.

"Uh, I don't know what to say, I think there's some love that starts after you get married, so good luck with that."

"Phew, Chrono, not if you care about me. This story has nothing to do with you at the earliest."

"What?"

"There is also an opinion that you should be awarded the title."

"Why, again, the Galahad War Prize will already be talked about"

I enslaved Sariel and received a billion clan prize. Neither is too short, it has been fulfilled.

"Thinking of Sparda's defense, he'd rather be a nobleman than hire an adventurer named Chrono. Free adventurers can also escape if they have to. No," Black Nightmare Mad Warrior (Nightmare Berserker) "can't be an enemy escape... but if Avalon and Sparta were attacked by the Crusaders at the same time, which would you defend?

"Is that... well, to make sure you take a sparder when a choice occurs"

"Being aristocratic will also entail corresponding responsibilities. Even without such consciousness, if Chrono had gained territory, he would begin to put the safety of his people first"

It naturally comes down to the priority of what is to be preserved, both as a duty of nobility and as a human being. Even I'm not a total fraternist.

"But to just one adventurer, that's a big story."

"My father highly values your power. We exchanged our swords with the Eighth Apostle ourselves, so you will understand."

I said, "No, because we defeated the Seventh Apostle, Saliel."

Apostolic existence is like a tactical weapon. Depending on how you use it, it can also be enough force to be called strategic.

If you are going to war, it is only natural that you should be prepared for the enemy's maximum power.

"As a trump card to the Apostle, you must keep it in your country. You were invited to the Royal Castle of Avalon the other day? My father was really anxious to get it."

"Wow, that story, was it passed down to that point"

The Chaossic Lim Crusade is a feat I have truly made as an adventurer. It just so happens that there were so many people on the spot, including King Avalon, that I was never the wacko who acted on my own to get into Avalon. I mean, you can't even aim. That's not it.

But from Sparda, at a stage of grand contact with the Royal Palace of Avalon, you'd think, no way.

"Even Princess Taru Neru, the First Princess, is very kind. If you have a private relationship with a royal aristocrat, you can use it to introduce any number of other children."

"That's the same thing with Sparda, though."

"... frankly, what do you think of my sister, Charlotte? The slightly spoiled but hence waggy mama stands out, but some are alley and honest, and the appearance is twelve times more beautiful than my mother's."

"Wait, wait, wait! Stop joking, I'm just finally losing my relationship with a woman, give me a real break throwing in a new bomb here."

Stop, now it's really time for me to die.

"Well, I'm not talking about this right now... but I want you to think about your choice to be a nobleman and protect Sparda."

"Will won't tell me to be a nobleman."

"As the second prince of Sparta, I will use any means to take you into my country as a nobleman... but as an ally of my soul, I want to respect the will of Chrono"

Well, thank you.

"Hey, you really shouldn't have told this story. But you told me on purpose, which means Will gave me time to think."

One day, suddenly, a political marriage from a title award with an escape route blocked, Simon says, is unlikely. If the king gets serious, it's not impossible to surround a powerful adventurer either. More importantly, it also brings with it the realism of the story.

"Whatever choice I make, if the Crusaders attack me again, I will protect Sparta."

"Um, as far as I'm concerned, that's enough for you to promise me."

"Will is the one, thank you for talking. As a matter of fact, I'm supposed to be leaving Sparda for a while... you know, Carla Mara?

Now it's my turn to reveal my circumstances.

If Will is the opponent, it's fine to talk to the Crusaders about the Aria Monastery, and the targeted 'monolith'.

"- I see, there does exist a huge 'original monolith' in the Royal Castle of Sparda, but I didn't know such a secret was hidden anymore"

"You can't actually leave them alone in Partier than they were after a small monolith"

"There's not enough evidence to pay attention to Pandora's countries."

"Oh, so I just have to go out in person"

Carla Mara, who has the most dangerous originals, Mia taught me. If you don't first secure the original, then create a security or surveillance system, I won't be able to focus on protecting Galahad with confidence.

"Carla Mara. The endless city of desire, or… will be a long, journey"

"I think I can transfer home, so it will take a much shorter time than normal. Now, by the time the Daedalus Crusaders move, there should still be a respite."

If you're anticipating the Sixth Galahad War, the only way out is now.

"Well, it's often a goodbye."

"Oh, I'm sorry, but we have to do it"

"So, there is..."

With a slightly lonely look, Will grabbed the glass and put it up.

"My soul's allies, for the journey of Chrono..."

Cheers.

In the end, the day ended with a drink down to morning.
