Kuro no Maou

Episode 640: The Journey to Freedom

The 29th of the month of the ice crystal.

In front of the Galahad fortress, where there was still snow, there was the figure of two girls.

"This is the gateway to the demonic kingdom, Death..."

"Shh, you look so demonic..."

Two girls, Leki and Ursula, were overwhelmed in front of the Great Wall of Fortress Galahad, 50 metres high.

By virtue of the work of Chloe Priest and Sister Yuri, he succeeded in painstakingly defeating Gratney Octo at the Alsace Fortress. The next day, a heretical inquisitor appeared to capture Ursula, and Leki, who was supposed to be dead, made a miracle resurrection, and the two went to Pandora continent clear and without any blemishes.

The primary purpose is to follow and find Chloe Priest, who disappeared shortly after the Battle of Gratney Octo. I don't know if he'll accept it. But you just have to meet again for now before you think about it.

To do so, we must first enter the land of the devil tribe.

But the Great Wall of Galahad, its entrance, was too high and thick.

"This, how do you get in, Death?

"In the meantime, I'm gonna knock."

"Aurai. It's a huge gateway, so Leki will knock you over as much as he wants, Death!

In the meantime, the two decided to go with a positive offensive method, and proceeded to walk crisp and snowy roads to approach them directly from the front, shortly thereafter.

"Stop, who is it?"

"From what I've seen, he looks like a child."

"No, this outfit is similar to that of the Crusaders. Be careful."

The hell, if you noticed where it appeared from, you were surrounded by a group of soldiers wrapped in white coats dispersed by snow.

It is also a musculoskeletal oak, not all of them human, more than two metres tall.

"Oh, wow, suddenly a pinch!

"Oh, calm down, you'll see."

"Is that Death that makes sense with the devil tribe!?

"... maybe not"

"Calm down, you guys. The words make sense. We are the Garahad Fortress Guards. This is a restricted area, if you obey the adults, you will not imitate them."

Thus, the two were to be taken by Spartan soldiers to the Fortress of Galahad.

"Phew, I wondered what would happen for a while, Dace"

"It was easier to give birth than to give birth."

After being caught lightly by Sparda soldiers at the Galahad Fortress, there's a lot going on, the seventh of the month of fresh water. The two of them were walking magnificently through the city of Sparda, the capital, in the sunshine.

In the fortress, after some interrogations and telepathic inquiries, it was determined that they were not Crusader operatives and the two were accepted in the form of asylum.

Leki and Ursula insist that she is fifteen years old who will be critical and adult because she has some trouble being licked when she thinks she is a child. Happy or unhappy, at this time, it was the third squad, 'Lampeige', led by General Gezembourg, who was on defense in the fortress, composed of non-human species. Therefore, it became somewhat monkey to discern the subtle age determination around fifteen years of age by facial youthfulness. As a result, the two statements were admitted and treated as adults.

Leki and Ursula, like the Daedalus villagers who had previously fled the Crusades, were decided to accept them in Sparda as regular refugees. Boarding a freight carriage for the transportation of supplies, the two will be transported from Fortress Galahad to the capital, Sparda, and will now be destined to be the host of refugees.

Now if the two were treated like children, if they got out of the carriage, there would be a pick-up straight from the Orphanage of the Temple, but the two people who insisted on being adults would get to their destination on their own feet. And Leki and Ursula held together without adults or anything to guide them, without fear or hesitation, to the point that they were just too brave enough to make a dignified journey through an exotic city.

"Hmm, now the Lekies are the ones who are free Me too, Death!

If we get this far, the Inquisitor won't come after us anymore.

Safely entering Sparda, the two of them descended into the capital, where they cleared their biggest concerns right now. For one thing, I was honestly delighted with it.

"Then you're going to Death."

"Wait a minute."

Ursula waits for her partner, who left with one hand with the simple map and notes she received.

"This is where you go to the Adventurer Alliance and become an Adventurer."

"Oh, that heart..."

"I'd rather be an adventurer than just go as a refugee. I mean, I can't lick it. We're fine adults now."

And Ursula, 12, says it all with her swollen chest stretched out.

"Sarasu Ur! If you decide that, go to the guild!!

And Leki, who bounces his big breasts and rushes out, was thirteen.

The two up-and-coming girls who wanted to stretch out ran through the bustling city of Sparda with people for an adventurer guild that could be anywhere.

And fifteen minutes later. Lost in the way.

"Hey, where's Death here..."

"Um, I got lost in a weird place"

I was lost in an unpopular alley from the main entrance square of Sparda where I left off, if I noticed.

"'Cause Leki runs on a hunch"

"Woo, 'cause I thought it was definitely this way, Desu."

Leki, who goes on his own, is also bad, but Ursula, who followed him in silence without checking his direction of progress, will also have some responsibility. But there is nothing more pointless than questioning the place of responsibility over this period.

The abbreviated map I received only shows the journey from the main entrance to the shelter of the evacuees of destination, too little information to grasp the geography of a large city called Sparda.

"In the meantime, we're going back the way we came."

"I don't even know where you're from, Dace."

Two people start walking tobotobo on a desperate return path.

If you keep walking anxiously, whether you're moving on or you're able to go back,

"Oh, you ladies, could you be lost?

One woman spoke to me.

She was a beautiful woman. I've never seen Leki or Ursula before, but I could tell at a glance that she was a species called Elf, a white beauty with elongated ears. A little touched to witness that famous elf.

"I'm not lost."

"Ace, we're already fine ladies, Dace."

"So I'm just a little lost, not lost"

"Yes, I'm sorry"

From an elf woman who laughs at dullness and elegance, she really shouldn't feel something called the adult margin that the two seek.

"But it's true that it's easy to get lost around here. If you're bad, you could end up in Slam Street. From what I've seen, though it feels like you two are new to Sparda?

"Just got here today, Death"

"Well, then you can't help but get lost, can you? If you like, can I show you where I want to go?

"Are you sure?

"It's okay, because I was just free today, anyway"

The reason I said no to both of you was nowhere.

That's how, with her guide, laughing loudly, she made a safe escape from the labyrinth of an oddly ingrained alley. In no time, the two return to the busy boulevard on the street.

"By the way, where were you going?

"Adventurer Guild!

"Become an adventurer today."

"Heh, I was. It's great to see you two come out to Sparta alone."

Boys and girls who admire adventurers and come all the way to Sparda are not so uncommon. It was helpful to be naturally convinced of how Leki and Ursula got to Sparda without being pursued in detail.

For one thing, both Leki and Ursula understand that there are only disadvantages in pretending to be those on the Crusaders' side who have fled Daedalus. Fool, I'm not going to talk over myself honestly, but I risk accidentally slipping my mouth on it. Especially Leki.

"So, where is the Adventurer Guild, Death?

"Well, close to here is the school district branch. There are many adventurers as old as you, so I'm sure you'll soon get used to them."

"Oh, I like to start my adventurer life."

"Yeah, the school district has a lot of shops for newcomers, and this is the perfect place to start. Entering the Adventurer's Course at the Royal Spartan Seminary is one hand."

"There's a school, Death."

"You look amateur."

Going out of your way to learn the adventurer operation of your life in school seemed contrary to your image. Ursula, particularly fond of entertainment novels depicting the adventurer's hero Tan and others, has a strong impression that adventurers will grow through misery by challenging dangerous quests themselves.

"Sure, I have that image, but I've been able to be a lot of fools lately. Because there was also the great work of" The Element Master ""

Says an adventurer party called 'Element Master', which almost ran out and entered the Adventurer's Course, then instantly ran up to Rank 5, setting the fastest promotion record ever.

Just because he jumped to Rank 5 for rescuing so many students in Ischia Hill is too much of a different profession, but what would have made 'Element Master' most famous would have been his work in the Fifth Galahad War, no matter what.

"He's a real Sparda hero. Well, I hope you can be like that."

"Jesus!"

"Our legend begins here."

"But the leader of" The Element Master "is a hell of a fierce manhood, so you two will always be good kids, won't you?

"Well, I can't promise you that, Death."

We're dangerous women.

It would seem very unlikely that the two of them have already crossed the dead line. If you take it from her, all I see is that Leki and Ursula are in the midst of a smiling and embarrassing age, intoxicated by the endemic omnipotence and speciality of adolescence.

"By the way, it's lunch time, and why don't we finish lunch before we go to the guild?

"Lunch... Is that how you say it, Death?"

He was secretly shocked that if he said lunch, or childish, he couldn't do it.

"Yeah, it was time to have some decent stuff"

The momentum popped up and it was an identical escape, so the two of us haven't had a loco meal. The meals served at Fortress Galahad were also yet another unsavory shame that only fills the belly for now.

Ursula has some leeway because it has a sizeable amount of gold money, entrusted to it by Chloe before the Battle of Gratney Octo. I'm not going to be luxurious with my precious money, but I won't even have to bother choosing a poor life that I've chopped up too much.

With the strength of the two, you can also earn as much as you don't have any trouble eating right away as an adventurer. I'm still a child, but the talents of the two I let bloom by Chloe's hands are amazing.

"Well, shall we go?" To celebrate the arrival of the two of you in Sparda. "

That's how I was supposed to go out for lunch while I was invited.

Never before have the two of them entered a small, beautiful brick shop, fully tongue-in-cheek at the only flavorful dishes recommended, and when they're full, they kind of get awfully sleepy...

"... Ha!?

Gatan, with a big shake, Leki woke up.

"Here, where Death..."

Gatagotto, and the shaky, narrow Chamber of Secrets, apparently in the carriage, conjectured. The lights are not on, so it's dark inside, but it seems to be the type of carriage that travels with a large number of people, due to the perceived signs of multiple people.

Leki, who has no recollection of riding a carriage or anything else, has nothing more to offer than confusion about a situation that doesn't make sense.

"Ur! Wake up Death, Ur!

"Eh, mmm... five more minutes"

"Wake up!"

Wake up Ursula, who was asleep trying to bring it right next door, for now.

"Wow... what, where are we..."

"It's kind of a big deal, Death!

"... wow, what the hell!?

Ursula, whose sleeping head awakened, apparently finally recognized the status quo.

"Hey, those two, you should be quiet."

When we were together, we heard a boy from nearby.

"Who's Death?"

He's suspicious.

"Oh, I'm not suspicious... because I'm just like you guys"

"What do you mean? Where are you? Who are you?"

With someone who might be able to explain the situation, Ursula decided to ask honestly. In an attempt to leave it to a smart Ursula at a time like this, Leki kept her mouth shut and listened thoroughly. Even though he's older.

"I'm Cruz. It was transported this far from Ortencia in the north. Like you, you're going to be sold as slaves... but it seems like you've just been lucky enough to be taken away and caught"

"Duh, slave!?

"When we were brought in here, we both slept well, and I wonder if they even served sleeping pills. Didn't you get food or drinks from strangers?

There was only one thing I could think of.

"Well, I was fooled..."

"That fuckin 'beach!!

"Oi! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Be quiet!!

With the fury of a wild man, Gunn, and the walls of the carriage are slapped.

"Hih."

"Ugh, ugh..."

Leki and Ursula never moved one eyebrow to that extent, but the other children on board besides the Cruz boy, the so-called slaves, had also begun to leak their meso and cry, as frightened.

Thanks to my eyes getting used to the darkness little by little, they're both starting to see what's going on in the car. There are about ten children on board here, including ourselves. They were all young children, only Cruz was of the age of half a dozen, and I knew right away that he was the oldest.

On closer inspection, I can tell that every child has a young but neat face and was chosen as a so-called luxury product, but I can't guess at Leki and Ursula that far.

"I know how you feel, but you should stay quiet. If they're angry, they don't know what they'll do."

Not frightened, but the voice of Cruz as if he'd given it all up.

"Hmm, I'm absolutely sorry to be sold as a slave, Death"

"I knew there were bad guys everywhere."

"We've all been sold for good, so I can't complain. But you guys are not convinced..."

In retrospect, there would be some reflections that Leki and Ursula were too defenseless.

Two sightseeing girls, obviously walking in a strange city. Speak up, be a little gentle, sometimes the other person is a woman and they follow without any doubt.

If you ask me, I told you we came to Sparda alone. In other words, more than anything else, I can determine that there is no one I can count on, an isolated situation. Nobody cares if the two of you who just came to Sparda today disappear. In the first place, nobody cares because nobody knows they exist.

There would have been a connection with a slave trader, from that elf woman, something like finding a hell of a duck.

The two of us have fallen for each other, blinded to the public. But that is not the only thing that is acceptable, such as being sold as slaves and ending your life.

"I'm sorry, but if this happens, I'm done. At least we can only pray to God to find a good buyer"

Cruz, with jalali and chained shackles, let him try a prayer pose with both hands drawn. Oddly, it is dressed very similar to the prayer of the Crucifixion.

Both Leki and Ursula are in prayer like they have revulsion.

"Hmm, Leki decides not to pray anymore, Death"

"My destiny opens itself up."

Thus, Leki and Ursula, fitted with steel shackles as well as Cruz, stand up completely.

What can you do in this restrained state when you stand? Even under this circumstance of being transferred surrounded by slave traders and escort mercenaries, even getting out of the carriage, if the shackles can be successfully removed.

"It's dangerous, both of you. Sit tight."

BAKING!! And the sound of pulling a thousand chains of steel cancelled the voice of Cruz's faint attention.

"... eh"

Do you mean to doubt my eyes?

Unless it is an illusion of the eye, the shackles of Leki are cut a thousand times. I was pulled by force, and I saw the moment when the chain was distorted and a thousand pieces flew, and there's still sound behind my ear.

"Ur."

"Please."

When Ursula offered her shackled hands, Leki grabbed them lightly - Bakin, and again the chain was crushed.

"Leki and the others are here, we don't have time to get caught, Dace."

They won't forgive me for interrupting Chloe's reunion.

As he proceeded into the shaky car, Leki waved his fist wide toward the door in the rear, which was tightly closed.

By the alarm of Leki and Ursula, he was caught by a slave trader in public. But these two are not weak girls who can be held together by one iron shackle.

They wouldn't even have expected it. The two girls captured were cursed by the rabid Barbados beast (Beast) and said to be Evil Spirits of Evelam (Ghost).

"Come on, go Death, go, fire!!

Blowing the closed carriage door to the wood tip dust, the two of them, again, began to walk their way to freedom.
