Kuro no Maou
Episode 654: The Covenant of Blood
Platinum's 15th of the month.
During the night, Central Hive was safely attacked and King Arachnide's eggs, Queen Butterfly, were defeated. The emergency quest was completed, and both the crusaders who participated and the residents who were preparing to evacuate in case, raised their hands and rejoiced in the victory.
The threat of 'Bugs Brigade' has left, approaching the old capital Morrigan.
The Central Hive site of the Black Forest, which has become a battlefield, can be undoubtedly finished with manpower and time. In a year, traces of nests cut open by insects will also be swallowed up by the greens of the black forest.
There is no hurry. That is why the high priest Agnoah Mistrea was working on the next most important case of the crisis in the city and the forest.
"In this battle, the activity of the 'Element Master' is constantly appreciated"
"No, we just did our job as adventurers."
Behind the Temple of Morrigan, in a room traditionally used to tell confidential stories, Grand Cleric Agnor and Lily, the representative of Element Master, an adventurer party in the honor of the Queen's Crusade, are opposite each other.
Though it has a deeply wrinkled appearance, a large body of shan and spine stretched over long gray hair gives the archpriest Agnor a strong sense of hegemony, albeit an old man. In contrast, the fairy Lily, who is an adorable toddler figure everywhere. Looking like a grandfather and granddaughter, yet sitting facing each other in great seriousness, might look hilarious somewhere.
But what flows between the two is a sense of urgency that doesn't make sense of one of the jokes. It seemed, however, that diplomats would enter into treaty negotiations betting on the pride and national interests of both countries.
In fact, it is the same thing in terms of representation of each other's affiliations.
Lily is not a party leader, but the injured Chrono has refrained from going out for rest and recuperation, so she came to the occasion instead. Chrono, who fully trusts Lily, has no reason to stop.
Krono, whose hands have been petrified by the recoil of The Demon King of Light (Overlimit), will by now have been burned to care on the bed by Sariel, who faithfully fulfils the maid's mission, and Brigitte, who sets up an approach at all costs.
Such, not caring about the current situation of the man he loved, Lily cut to the point after an ostensibly unobtrusive conversation.
"Chrono's blood, I can give it to you."
"An offer I don't even wish for. But I hear you're in love with all the party members."
"Yeah, I'm Chrono's fiancée, Fiona's a lover, and Saliel's a slave"
Hmm, the young man these days, he never said anything like that, and Agnoah continued his words without hissing one eyebrow.
"Let's hear the terms"
"Before I do, let me check... how far do you know?
Agnor's eyebrows finally bounce pickly against Lily with a provocative smile somewhere.
After a beat, the answer was given so that the words were chosen carefully.
"As a high priest, it is unacceptable to speak lightly of it."
For Lily, it was an adequate answer.
"Well, then, I'm not a temple servant, let me talk to you on my own."
Lily is clearly switching to adult consciousness. But that face had seeped out a good look, as if the child were bragging about a new toy.
"Chrono is the first man with the protection of Mia Ellord, the ancient demon king"
Opponents of the high priest Agnoah, there was no need to keep it a secret.
Whether it was the first time you stepped into the Temple of Morrigan, or the next time you visited, uncertain, the protection of Chrono has already been 'appraised' by Agnor himself. A man who is a magnificent high priest, he is determined to have one or two ways of identifying shelter within his temple of deposition so that the other person does not notice.
And Agnor would have found out.
In the Temple of Sparda, secretly appraised the protection of Chrono, just like the high priest Oliver Herodotus.
"You guys really have eyes. In the history of Pandora, he never shows up again, because he sees the best man."
The reason for Brigitte's temptation is, as Chrono told us last night.
Mistrea craves the blood muscles of a strong man.
For the first time in history, the winner of the Devil King's protection.
If it is known to be true, the whole continent will make a fuss. No, noise, etc., is not enough of a raw expression. Because it just exists, and it's not weird where there's a war.
Therefore, Agnoah cannot speak lightly of Chrono being granted the protection of the Demon King, etc. Alternatively, Lily speculates, directly, that there might even have been a stoppage.
"Whatever God he was, let him show strength. Mistrea's, no, my granddaughter, Brigitte deserves no other man."
"Fifth or sixth, it could be less than that, okay?
"Hmm, the fourth one should be empty."
"Unfortunately, I have an appointment."
"Sparda or Avalon... Either way, I have to give in. Interpretation, we live quietly in the back of the woods, just a small clan"
"But this is a very nice place."
"Unless a bug springs up."
"It's trivial, because we can get rid of it right away. Like yesterday."
Each other, we could grasp the approximate circumstances.
Agnor wants Krono's blood so much that his hands can come out of his throat, both as the great priest of Farren and as the head of the Mistrea clan.
I have no ambition. But I want Brigitte and the children to be made before the great powers and the strong nations of the Demon King faith know the facts and move on. Because if you get caught up in the turmoil that rocks the continent, Chrono won't even be able to lean on it, such as in the capital in the depths of Farren called Morrigan.
Lily wants a connection to Farren. In order to make Chrono the Demon King, it is better to have one country to draw to your side.
Pretty good conditions because if you can just make kids, they'll tell you from the other side that you'll be happy with that. Time for Chrono to leave is as short as that.
"If you can get that blood, this one never mind"
"Most of all, we work together, and it's up to Brigitte's charm and hard work to make Chrono care?
"Whatever, I'm going to. Let that girl be a disgrace to a woman if she burns so much care."
Ultimately, it will be up to Chrono to make a child with Brigitte. It's just that Lily and the others don't get in the way of it, they don't stop it, they recommend it, that's all.
Even as Lily, if you seriously don't like Chrono, you're not going to be forced to hold Brigitte and move on. Instead, I'd be more comfortable if it did because everything in my roots could be ruined... but Lily let me take the advantage of pushing jealousy to kill it, but getting a link with Farren.
I'm sure, because that's my role, the only role I can do.
"Good, we're going to have a treaty - but we can't do it right now."
"about the original monolith, would be"
It has been reported to Sparta about the monastery, which is at the mercy of the Crusaders, the original monolith they are after, and the danger of their conspiracy. In terms of both the regular route through the Spartan army and the personal route through Prince Wilhardt II.
As a sparda, we cannot immediately take such a dramatic response to events that there is no definite evidence, but we can acknowledge some validity, legitimacy, Therefore, a quest called the original monolith survey is taken as the current response in the form of a request to the "Element Master".
Farren was a neighbor of Sparda and was invited to the Royal Palace with an official letter of introduction and set. Naturally, everything has been reported on the circumstances. And to the great priest Agnor, who has a strong connection with the royal family, similar information had been decided to come around.
"Yeah, because it's a quick journey ahead. But there are other reasons why you should take the time, and that's my advice."
"As for this one, one night would be enough."
"That's because Chrono's in trouble"
Trouble, is literally meant.
Its perplexity is the very attitude of Chrono, who was forced by Brigitte in the bathroom.
Agnor and Lily, even if the prospects of the two coincide and you decide to have a child between Chrono and Bugilit, it is not an easy thing to accept. Chrono is a mad warrior on the battlefield, but a young man of common sense on a daily basis.
In short, Chrono's acceptance of Brigitte required just enough time to get along and get closer together. Even mad warriors in battle are novices in love.
"The journey to Carla Mara should take less than a year"
"But it could be a dangerous journey."
"If Chrono had finished on the way, he would have given up."
Indeed. If you are truly a man with the protection of the Demon King, you will not fall in the middle of your will. The completion of the journey guarantees even more strongly the value of Chrono.
"Besides, even here, if we're going to have a treaty with you, I want a proper period of preparation."
I want Chrono's blood, the demands on the Mistrea side are simple. But for that consideration, how far can we draw from the Great Cleric, and hence, from Phalen? Its content must be carefully considered.
Even with the protection of the Demon King, Chrono is now only an individual.
"I'll send a deputy to Morrigan later."
Regardless, it is homunculus. Even if you don't have the authority or authority to make decisions, it's enough to ask. If you get in touch with Lily, you can go through the negotiations one by one.
"... um, okay. Well, I hope your journey is safe."
Negotiations were concluded. At the end of the journey, when Chrono again visits Morrigan, the treaty will be formally signed.
Most importantly, Krono's really going to have a baby with Brigitte until then.
Platinum month 17th.
With both hands back on track, the time has finally come to leave Morrigan.
"Hey, you're leaving already."
"Queue!"
Dylan showed up to drop him off for some reason, even though he said he hadn't contacted him about the departure time. Next door, the mascot spirited dolphin of office software still drifts with Fuyo Fuyo.
"Oh, hurry up, 'cause we were on our way. Not really. It's not going to slow down."
"Well, that's a shame. Stupid noise after the victory would be one of the adventurers' pleasures. It's a little silly and lacking in excitement because of the lack of a lead."
With the emergence of a new queen and daring to escape with the king's eggs, it is supposed to be me who eventually made the Queen Butterfly (Queen Butterfly) crusade.
But when the "Demon King of Light (Overlimit)" recoil forced me to live in a compulsory hospital, I couldn't possibly attend a celebration or anything like that, and I didn't want to miss one person so much... Brigitte was pretty much tight for me, and I figured against that, Sariel was straining. Fiona, you're not eating alone, and you're sending me that fancy snake meat, too.
Anyway, I couldn't join all the crusaders and the silly noise that delighted me with the victory.
"Nevertheless, I can't believe you came all the way here to drop me off. I thought you hated me."
"During the quest, adventurers are rivals. I don't mean to get used to each other... but after work, you don't have to be nervous. Well, Chrono, you, no, you're the benefactor of life. Thank you very much for saving my mistake during the Central Hive attack."
Seriously everywhere, Dylan bows his head and apologizes. The figure felt more like a knight or nobleman, rather than a crude adventurer, in the way he entered the hall.
It's just a bit of a dumb structure because there's a dolphin next door with his head bowed together. But the feelings are conveyed properly.
"You're welcome. Next time, watch out for unseen enemy ambushes"
"Hehe, nasty words"
With his head up, Dylan returned to the adventurous atmosphere again. All this time, when you're treated with awe, I'm in trouble, and this one's better appreciated.
"Well, my lack of strength stained me on this one, too. I was in too much of a hurry to get up to Rank 5... I'll have to work out in the tunnel for a while."
Being single and getting into the nest was probably quite a hit for him as well. Adventurers are important to adventure, but they need patience again, as they hone their strength firmly.
Most importantly, if Dylan had already climbed to Rank 4, he would have nothing to worry about.
"If you come to Morrigan again, let's have a drink"
"Oh, at that time, let me be extravagant. The hero who saved Morrigan."
Shake hands tightly, I move on.
Like Dylan, it's refreshing and pleasant when these guys break up with each other.
"Dear Krono... really, you're going..."
In contrast to Dylan, who dropped me off with a nihil smile, it is Brigitte who is crying heavily with all the overflowing tears.
"No, the... it's not a wack of a lifetime goodbye, and don't cry so much"
I can't find anything else to say to her that makes her cry elegantly.
To the atmosphere of so magnificence, Lily and Fiona on the boulder, they watched me and Brigitte exchange silently, without making any extra remarks.
"Be sure, I'll see you again"
"Promise... it's a promise, Master Chrono!
You don't have to promise me, Morrigan has business to visit again, so I don't have to worry about it.
Lily went to Grand Cleric Agnor to explain the danger of the Crusades and the fact that the original monolith was being targeted while I was down, and the future system of cooperation has been promised. However, the detailed arrangements have not been exchanged because there is no time. So after our journey to Carla Mara, we'll visit Morrigan again and formally exchange our decisions?
This time, it is only like rooting for the establishment of a system of cooperation.
"I'll write to you, too."
"Yes, absolutely!
Even if I'm traveling, I can send a letter to Brigitte with the same address. For her, who hopes to see her again as soon as possible, you will be punished if you don't teach her about the progress of the journey.
But from Brigitte, I'm afraid I don't have the means to receive a reply, but I thought Lily had the means at her disposal.
Using monolith, they can exchange sentences or so, even if they can't metastasize. Not all monoliths are possible, but it is more likely to be able to communicate sentences exceptionally than metastases. If you find Monolith on your journey, you can interact there to some extent.
As a correspondent, I hear Morrigan will be dispatched to Homunculus at a later date. Of course, they have a stronger role to play in monitoring the monastic movement in Farren. After we leave, the monastic people don't necessarily flirt with the original monolith in the Black Forest.
"Well, I'll go now. Good luck, Brigitte."
"Oh, Master Chrono... I adore you!
A strong embrace, along with a straightforward confessional word in old-fashioned style.
For a moment, though I had a problem, I also held her body back.
"Thanks"
I couldn't say anything more, could I be a heckly bastard?
But I couldn't say a "no" dialogue on top of each other against her, who confessed her thoughts in tears.
Even if I didn't put it in my mouth, I would not touch her with a finger at last. It was a dout, but I never gave her a hand as a heterosexual. Yesterday, yesterday, and Brigitte, who practically gave me medical attention, had several crises of seduction... but still, I cut them off without a thing. My feelings are shown in attitude enough, and I think she knows it.
Sure, I may be the right strong man for that eye, for King Farren and the Great Cleric. We may have discussed the Queen Butterfly and saved Morrigan.
But I guess romance isn't just about the specs and accomplishments of the Soviets, you know? Brigitte is a clear dark elf beauty you can't complain about, and she can have enough fighting power to be avant-garde with me. Her charm is a lot to admit, but that's why it shouldn't be a good reason to get her hands on it.
Even if Lily and Fiona weren't around and I was just single, I'm sure I wouldn't have done anything cheap to get my hands on a nice woman named Brigitte I knew this way. Let's start with a healthy relationship. Heck, I'd definitely say that.
"See you."
"Yes, I'm here, and I've been looking forward to your return."
So, unfortunately, after a tear goodbye to Brigitte, I finally left Morrigan behind.
After dropping Chrono off until he was invisible, Brigitte returned to the Temple of Morrigan with a blatantly dropped shoulder.
I meant it.
I sincerely believed that this was destiny.
Chrono was such a man.
The owner of heroic warfare, saving Sparda and also acknowledging King Farren. A vicious look, worthy of two names: The Black Nightmare Mad Warrior (Nightmare Berserker). But the man was an ordinary young man, conscious, caring, and a little confident.
Heroes were supposed to prefer color.
I was supposed to be attractive as a woman.
Even so, the dialogue that popped out of his mouth is "Free love is good".
I know that without having to be told. Even as a Mistrea witch, accepting the statute of having to be a strong man and child, as a single woman, there is no way you can erase the feeling of being able to rush into free love.
I didn't expect to be swayed by the other guy to be prepared for what I should have decided a long time ago.
For Brigitte, a witch, Chrono was the worst man.
For Brigitte, one woman, Chrono was the best man.
Oh, what a terrible man he is.
Is that thought overflowing within Brigitte's breasts a strong will to fulfill her destiny as a witch at the earliest, or a maiden's love heart that makes her breast jump into a lovely encounter? I don't know which one it is myself.
Not even knowing how I felt, without touching a single finger, Chrono, who promised only to reunite and postponed the opportunity to ascertain that answer, was, after all, a terrible man.
"If those fucking bugs hadn't sprung up... I could have pushed them in the bathroom. No..."
The only time I waved my biggest opportunity to the stick springs up with fierce regret and anger even now.
The certainty that Chrono is, indeed, making me sexually attracted to my body. At the same time, it is also true that he was shaking, even though he was strongly willing, in a tearful plea, not allowing betrayal of a woman who was already in love.
It was a chance.
If a fait accompli could have been made, then developments would have changed.
But now, it's all just a "what if" story.
"I mean, wasn't I the only chance in my life to graduate from virginity!? Could it be that I totally missed my wedding...... Awwwww!!
"Brigitte, are you restless? I'll teach you to keep your mind quiet whenever you want."
"Ha, Grandpa!
Brigitte exposes her ugliness as a maiden that can never be shown to others because it is the deepest part of the Temple of Morrigan, a room reserved for secrecy by example. Agnor, my grandfather, is safe even when seen because he is a family.
"Absolutely, no matter how good you get at fixing the outside, the contents remain children... and you can't even have one of your lovers instead of getting married, think of that wagga mom as a good addition"
"Ugh... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!
"Noooo!?
Brigitte's throw with the ambition of anger is a ball-shaped object that merely solidifies black magic. It can't even be called attack magic, it's just a materialization of magic (materialization), but in principle it's the same as Krono's Demon Bullet (Barrett Arts). And if you are as talented as Brigitte, even a small ball created lightly boasts iron ball-like hardness and weight.
That black iron sphere hit my grandfather in the face brilliantly. Fulfilling, is that a strike or an out?
"Phew, they poked me in the star and it made me look good."
I don't see how I've taken any damage to Agnoa, who looks down at Brigitte with a sneer and a little silly grin. Apparently, it was facial safe.
"No, I'm gonna star! There's just never been a man to match me before!
"Yeah, yeah, you're right. 'Cause all the bachelor babas who missed their weddings say the same thing with their mouths together."
"I'm not dying!!
Brigitte, Angry Ironball Attack Again.
But now Agnoa to avoid. For the old man's sake, he dodged a high-speed throwing attack in an acrobatic motion.
"I'm thirty years old, and I'm not the right man. I guess it's about time you asked me to come over."
"It's not thirty! I'm only twenty-nine! I'm only in my twenties. Ah!
But in three months, you won't be in your thirties.
"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"Come on, after thirty, it won't be long, a lot of things."
"Shut up! I don't want to hear it, I want to hear it..."
Dark elves are a long-lived species alongside elves.
That's why it's not a wack to be a beautiful girl even on the 30th. Only teenagers can call me a girl. Since the age of twenty, she has been an adult woman without objection.
Even if life expectancy is long, spiritual maturity is not significantly different from that of humans. In particular, the process of growing from toddler to child to boy and girl is almost all the same age for humans, dark elves and beasts.
Only the exception during the exception: the Fairy Clan can remain a girl, both mind and body, forever.
"Ha... By and large, you've always been too desirable"
"Ah? Nothing, it's not high hopes, it's normal, Hutu"
"I'd rather have a man stronger than me, I can't believe... how many men in Farren can defeat a Mistrare witch. Besides, you're only talented for nothing."
"There's usually a man stronger than me. Um... you see, King Sandra or something"
"Though you must be the one who kicked that engagement to King Sandra."
"'Cause you were a little more chick than me"
King Sandra, a girl and a miserable beauty. But being confused with a girl means that her body shape is the same as that of a girl. Alongside Brigitte, King Sandra has a smaller head for one.
"I can't believe you like that, Lady Chardina's sexuality doesn't suck?
"Come on, stop insulting the royal family."
"Grandpa, at your wedding, you were about to erupt when King Sandra stretched out and kissed you."
"Safe because it didn't erupt."
I'm saying something like that, Agnor, but this still represents Farren, the Great Cleric. Great to the extent of partitioning a royal wedding. In front of his granddaughter, who returned to the vegetables, at the earliest there was neither majesty nor anything, but great is nevertheless great.
"But in addition to King Sandra, he introduced me to a lot of things, and I just told Wagamama that I didn't like any of them."
Mistrea's witch, to Brigitte, who is also her only daughter, talks about marriage more than normal. There are countless matchmaking opportunities. Also, Brigitte, who is only extremely good at appearance and cat wear, never stopped thinking of her in her personal life.
A man who was not imprisoned by signs such as his identity and political thoughts and who spoke purely of love to her would not be enough in number of hands.
He said, "No man weaker than me."
"That hurdle is too expensive. Besides, even if you struggle to find a strong man, you'll be the one who says no quickly."
"'Cause it was just weird"
"That's right. He who has the strength to jump through will have a wacky nerve. Only a pervert or a psychopath can reach a height he can call a hero."
The strong, roughly, are strong at birth. It's physical ability, magic power, or sword or magic talent, or, healing. Those born with them, their talents blossom early.
In that way, can the life of a man of strength, isolated from his surroundings, go the same way as an ordinary man who has no power whatsoever? Will the genius see the view of the ordinary man?
No. It will never be compatible.
"So, what about Master Chrono?
"Oh yes... that man is the craziest of all that Non has ever seen"
"Jizzy, are you finally messed up"
"Sweet, Brigitte, is that a little girl?"
"What, Master Chrono said he was wearing a cat? Like me?
"No, that's an honest man. Typically, the type who doesn't like to lie, especially in front of women."
"So you're a pervert?
"At least it's not distorted. If you look at those three daughters, you'll see that their hobbies are pretty good."
Lily, Fiona, Sariel, and three other beautiful girls are at the party. The aesthetic eye for a woman can be described as definite, and most importantly, it would be the dreaded strength of a man named Chrono who truly gathers such beautiful girls.
"Then what's wrong with Master Chrono? It's strong, it's sweet, but there's something a little beginner and cute about it."
"Strong, but gentle. He cares about people, the ultimate, the legitimate ethics, the sense of justice... so proud of his strength."
The strong are crazy.
Because of its strength, it is necessary to take a different path than normal.
"It's not crazy anywhere, it's crazy. Crazy warriors don't exist this crazy."
Agnor watched Chrono's actions more closely than he did when he stepped foot in Morrigan. It's not the wack I was peeking at. However, all the inhabitants of this city are collaborators of the Temple. The figure of Chrono, who stays in the Inn and operates in a dignified and visible place, is captured by the eyes of every inhabitant.
Thus, even though it was only a few days old, Agnoah grasped a rough figure of a man named Chrono. That reputation is truly 'Mad Warrior of Sanity'.
"Maybe that's why they chose..."
"Chosen?
"Destiny."
"Shit, you're not gonna answer that."
"Sooner or later, the time will come to know - Brigitte, really, you're ready."
Previously his ridiculous attitude changed and Agnoah asked his granddaughter, along with the prestige that the high priest deserved.
"Regardless. We dedicate everything to Master Chrono."
And Brigitte also answered with a firm oath as a witch.
"Um, necessarily, get that guy. Become a child who inherited the blood… My Mistrea clan will have a thousand years of peace"
In consideration of Chrono's blood muscles, he promised to cooperate with Lily.
The same was true of the fact that the edge had already been tied...... only Chrono himself at the time knew nothing, realized nothing and took the journey to Carlamara.
