Kuro no Maou

Episode 699: Small Hostages

"Whoa, welcome, ladies, to the White Hope ship, Whitewish IV!

A smokescreen thrown into the deck blew away the breeze, no, this is definitely wind magic. After being blown away by it, a grand and large man appeared with a large number of his men.

I was down on the verge of disembarking from the Tallap, and I was located in the corner of the deck, and now that the smoke screen is clear, the situation looks good.

"Is he the captain of this ship?

"You're not just a captain. I don't know about ours, but I'm an officer of the Silverian Family."

I see, I don't know.

But thanks to the commentary of the chimpy man who somehow let us lay low together in momentum, it was established that the man was the captain.

White Wishes, etc., a borough ship that doesn't even make fine dust feel white, but the captain's outfit is oddly small and beautiful. It doesn't feel like a captain in a pirate movie.

He weaves feathers like a white fur coat flashly decorated with feathers, dressed like a blue striped suit, which is somewhat like the boss of a gang.

The age is a middle-aged man who started to wrinkle and seems to be in good shape, but in a dodgy shape who is also out of his belly for that matter. There is a muscle wound on his face and a few burn marks that make him look invisible to a man of stamina from anywhere.

However, it is important to note that there is not a captain who emits any signs of villain staining, but the chain he holds in his right hand… there is a little girl connected to it.

"Lillian!

"Good, you're still safe."

The appearance of the two disturbed girls, who had already come up to the deck as a result of the smokescreen scattering, is evident.

And from the two reactions, apparently the purpose was the rescue of a young girl being caught by the captain, known as Lillian.

"Hey, what is that girl? Why is he being caught?"

"Oh, the captain bought it in before we sailed. You put a collar on him, you know why?

I mean, Loricon. No, should I call you Pedophilia, when it comes to dealing with a kid that little.

They are purposefully wearing chained collars, a thin, dirty shirt, and making them obey. At least, it doesn't seem like he's just as cute as a pet.

Absolutely, I get revulsion.

"I didn't think so, but hehe, I really didn't expect you to come aboard the ship. Nice work, young lady."

"Let Lillian go, Death!

"If you let me go, I'll save your life."

In the middle of the deck, a blonde daughter sets up a large sword and axe duplicity, and the brown daughter hangs a cane to wrap her thin, white, foggy magic around her.

"Whoa, that's Koch's dialogue... I came all the way out here to help one of these kids, it's important, his life!

"Ugh!

Pulling up the chain, the little Lillian connected by a collar at the end lifts up from body to body and leaks a bitter groan.

Shit, if you imitate such a toddler, it's really irrevocable.

"Drop your weapons. Don't even use magic. Before Temei and the others do anything, if it's sooner for me to kill the kid, you know what I mean, oh!

As Doss heard him yell, the captain slammed a dagger (Cutlass) on Lillian's neck.

"Grr, uhh... Grrr!

"Wait, you can't do this."

With the angry look of her blonde daughter running her eyes blood, she still shows signs of just flying away, but her other brown daughter is stopping.

Well, yes, even if you pop out here in anger, it's quicker for the captain to kill Lillian. Most importantly, there is a mix of guys who have weapons in their hands to protect the captain, and some of them are trying to activate defensive magic with their canes.

Just slashing from the front would also make it unbearable to break through the guard of your men.

Effective hostages and ample escorts. At the time of alignment of this situation, the captain's victory had been decided. The fact that he doesn't look disturbed at all also gives the kind of vibe that he expected those two girls to cuddle from the beginning.

Because the battle was decided from the beginning.

"Hey, if those kids bust the captain, grab the girl and run, what happens next?

"You've made up your mind, if the Familia board gets their hands on you. Oh, you can't shut up. As long as we're in this city, they'll be after us at four or six."

"Is there no one else to follow or protect?"

"Brother, seriously, you don't know the world. There's not a single guy here who can rely on the gendarmerie in this Carla Mara. They only move with money. It's like a mercenary. I've been so lazy."

"Well, I'm relieved to hear that"

I'm sorry to suddenly ask you about boulders.

Even if you run away, if it's just those guys like the gang that make slave trafficking their business, well, I feel like they can handle it. Even in return, it seems heartbreaking.

"Hey, what's up! If you don't, the kid's gonna die, Cora!!

Yelling so loud, the captain lifts the chain even more.

Caught in the collar, Lillian dresses like a hanging, desperately stretching her toes and butterflies.

With tears coming from bitterness and fear in the eyes of a circular emerald, she still said.

"Oh, sister... run, run..."

Help, not run, yes, she says.

Strong kid.

As a child, you know it's a danger to your life, but still, that kid is worried about the two girls who came to help.

To that tenderness, to health, and above all to courage, all my crap strays blow away.

"Oh, I'm gonna help you now -" Anti-Materials ""

Black magic and suppressed anger formed a black pseudo-complete steel bullet (full metal jacket).

Two black bullets floated on hand without sound.

In case you're ready, we'll have two simultaneous firing snipers here.

"Ah? Brother, what is it? Sole -"

Two bullets walk away, making a fierce firing noise that undoes the dialogue between Don! and the chimpy man.

"How long are you gonna keep me waiting! Shut the fuck up. Then hey, you fucking pussy. - Bubba!?

One shot, piercing the captain's head.

It's something my face could play in the middle of the dialogue, so I leak a weird voice and instantly turn it into a corpse without a neck.

Taking a child hostage, that outrage is a place I want you to pay for even spending the rest of your life, but now, given the urgency, I just have to choose to shoot him promptly. Let's hope the scoundrels don't suffer from a tranquil, imminent death, but precisely, in hell.

At this distance, this prospect is good. I was confident I would finish with one headshot, but just in case, the second one is blowing the captain's left arm gripping the cutlass.

As calculated, he succeeded in keeping that murder weapon away from every arm without harming Lillian.

My black magic 'Anti-Materials' is for dealing with monsters that boast tough defenses, such as salamander scales. Blow away as easily as a piece of paper, such as human flesh without any reinforcement or magic - but I don't know why, I feel much more powerful than I thought.

Did I miscontrol my magic with anger? No, I thought it was the right amount... No, no, more than that, I have to move without a second's respite than I've already done.

Run out at the same time as you release the antimaterial and run through the deck with a full run of disease.

Nobody stops me.

I arrived under Lillian before my men realized what was happening in front of me when the captain's head suddenly bounced off and died. Just a few dozen meters away, and my leg strength will allow me to tread without a second.

"- Hey."

Recover the Lillian freed from the captain's hands.

I was just about to hold up a small body that was falling on the floor, and speaking of which, I realized that I still had handcuffs on both my hands, destroying them at my discretion. In an instant, the chains will fly a thousand times. Really brittle cuffs. Is this cheap too?

Uncuff yourself in less than a second, and now it's time to pick up Lillian. I almost took it on my shoulder like a rice mound, but I reconsidered that it was a bit positively pathetic, and changed it to a hug.

That's how I secured Lillian in my arms, and the sailors seem to have finally noticed my presence. Those who were already in a collision position explode the black magic of the smokescreen at the tip of their noses as they were about to shake up and move their weapons.

"'Black Smoke (Smoke)'"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!?

"Oh, man, what the fuck!

"More than that, the captain's been hit! What's up, Oi!?

Beyond the black-smoking curtains, you can hear the hasty sailors. Keep talking to me for a while.

Leaving them behind, I was forced to be rigid in the middle of the deck in one foot, descending in front of two courageous sisters who had come aboard Lillian's rescue.

"Shh..."

"Duh, why..."

My blonde and brown daughter are looking up at me seriously, with a startled look from the bottom of my heart that I saw incredible things.

Well, if a stranger suspicious bastard suddenly jumps in to help in such a desperate pinch, can't you catch up with the understanding either? Now if I wore a mask and a cape like a hero, would it have been cool too? That could be suspicious.

"We're getting out of here. You got an escape route?

"Here, here, Death!

"Follow me."

All right, all right, I'm just coming into the harbor on a boulder. He seemed to have decided on a proper way out of here.

You're right to ask the two of them anyway. If I escaped properly, it could have been a dead end.

But after we get out of here, what do we do?

It's my free otherworldly life that finally started, but suddenly I'm in trouble, or I'm going in, like that. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the way I'm going to shake myself in the future, and I have no life experience.

But we'll figure it out, no, we'll figure it out. With only that unfounded determination, I chased the backs of two girls running faster than I thought.

After the desert harbor, through a dim passage, diving in some glowing magic formation, and when I realized it, I was running through an abandoned city.

"Is this Carla Mara?

Because it's a lonely city for a long time. It's a little different than I imagined.

"This is the First Hierarchy of the Great Labyrinth, Death!

"There's only groceries left, so I can afford them."

While running, the two girls answer with confidence.

The first tier of the Great Labyrinth, again, has a long list of game-ticking words. Is this a real dungeon or something like that?

"Miscellaneous fish are like zombies in there."

"Zombies, Death!

Right, is that a zombie after all?

Skeletons just bones and translucent guys like evil spirits dealt with it in a manoeuvre experiment, but this is the first time I've ever had that teh rotten flesh undead.

In the meantime, why don't you shoot me?

Don! and make a noise and fire a 'rifle' that's less powerful than 'anti-material'. I've turned it into a small bullet, but it should be powerful enough to destroy the human body.

If you're just a zombie that moves with a norm, you can easily aim your head at it. The direction of travel, about 100 meters ahead of me about four bodies, all set a goal on the head and let go.

It's a boulder.

I saw the four heads play beautifully and my brown daughter told me. I am proud for some reason.

"By the way, where are you headed?"

"Death enters nearby safe area first"

"The stories accumulate after that."

As far as safe areas are concerned, there are probably places where zombies wandering this abandoned city can't come in.

Besides, it's about time you asked me to explain the situation to you. At the very least, we want to introduce ourselves to each other. As it stands, the only name I know is Lillian, who's clutching to my neck.

So, about fifteen minutes running through the ruined city while properly cleaning up the zombies on the road.

We walked into a five-storey building like barely collapsed, rugged reinforced concrete.

The staircase leading from the first floor to the second is completely broken, and it is a trick to climb upstairs by climbing a rope draped from the upper floor. Even if a freaking zombie showed up, it would be to keep him from climbing.

The windows are blocked everywhere with wood and so on, and they are also invisible from the outside.

Hmm, this way, it's like a building where the main characters stand and cage in a zombie movie. Safe area, he said, but it's not like there's ever a gimmick that keeps zombies away with holy magic, it's just a simple structurally zombie-proof building, it seems.

Well, even in a place like this, as long as you don't make a loud noise, you'll be fine.

Going up to the fifth floor of the top floor of the building, we finally get into positions like a break.

"Finally, I think we can talk calmly"

Phew, with a sigh of relief, I've been holding Lillian down - get down, what, you won't come down. Keep clinging to my neck, no sign of leaving at all.

"It's okay, look, go back to your sister"

"... yeah"

Lillian left me in such a way as an awesome tannic.

Don't look so sorry for me. When we move out of here, I'll hold you again.

That's how Lillian walks Tokotoko under her two sisters.

"Lillian!"

"Oh, I'm so glad..."

"I'm sorry, sister"

It is a touching reunion, where the three of us embrace each other.

Yeah, yeah, good for you. I have no idea what's going on, but I have no regrets for helping.

of beautiful sisters...... are they real sisters? The color of the hair, the color of the eyes, the color of the skin, and then the shape of the ears are subtly different, so much so that we're all cute in common.

Anyway, since Lillian calls us both "sisters," it would be fine to mean sisters.

They are like that, but this doesn't even make it all a wack of a happy ending. Like that dickhead said, it doesn't seem certain that there will be a chase from that organization more than killing the captain, who is also a family officer who manages to say it.

At the very least, I want to see these kids until they're safe.

Perfectly irrelevant who just happened to be there. I'm sorry to hear from them when I'm going to stick around.

In the meantime, we should talk about it, including the future around it.

With such a hard time in mind, I watched the reunion scene of my beautiful sisters in silence.

Now, just knowing how touched I was, the two girls wipe their tears of joy and finally turn to me.

"First, let's name it. I'm Kurono-"

"Dear Chloe!

"Dear Chloe!

And, subtly, calling me a different name, two blondes and a brown daughter, hugged me as much as they wanted.

"Ku, Chloe......?

"I missed you, Dace, I've always missed you!

"I was wondering if I'd see you again..."

Wait, what is this inspiring reunion situation? I would have done that in Lillian with you guys earlier. I have nothing to do with it.

Or around calling me "Lord Chloe," whatever you think, these two seem to mistake me for someone else.

Seriously, I didn't know this vicious face guy had another one besides me. I mean, there are three people in the world with very similar faces, but does that mean there are three more if you include different worlds?

"No, wait, calm down, you're wrong"

"Fuh!?

"No, you're lying!

"True, my name is Chrono, not Chloe. Look, look closely in the face. It may be similar to the man named Chloe, but it must be someone else."

"Mmm, mmm..."

"Um, here it is..."

In an attempt to ascertain the truth, the red eyes of my blonde daughter with a serious look and the blue eyes of my brown daughter stare seriously at my face. I feel a little embarrassed, but in order to solve the misunderstanding, let me show you this less visible face.

"I knew it was definitely Death to Lord Chloe! Chuh!"

"This face, this scent, that's for sure. Chuh."

Right cheek and left cheek, the two girls are each dropped lips.

Hey, Chloe and I, we're gonna have a girl who's not even old enough to imitate us like this, and now Teme, you're a lollicon...

"Hey, wait, get away from me once, calm down"

If I kept my mouth shut, I kept getting enthusiastically tutored, so I rushed away from the two of them.

"Uh, more, Kissy!

"Inspiring reunion. We should make him chew more."

"So I'm not Chloe, I'm Chrono!

Bad, it's not acceptable, like being flushed into a situation like this and having impure heterosexual intercourse with two minors who don't even know their names. What's unacceptable is a bastard named Chloe, and I say no, I'm not going to imitate the shit out of a kid. No matter how much, you two are promising girls in the future.

"Duh, what do you mean, Death!

"Dear Chloe, maybe... you don't remember us?

To the boulder, if you refused so far, you both listened to my words.

Bad for two people with cloudy expressions in Russia, but I can't help lying here. I'll tell you the truth.

"Look, my name is Chrono, Kurono Mahogany. I just got here, and you two met for the first time today."

Yeah, I just got out of that research facility, and when it comes to face-to-face in this other world, it's about that chatty dickhead guy. Other than that, I haven't seen anyone, I'm pretty sure they haven't exchanged words.

"Oh no... how... Lord Chloe, I forgot about Leki, Death...?

Ugh, shit, my blonde daughter is starting to cry for real.

It's a terrible guilt. I don't care if you're lying. "You're determined to remember! I just want to say," I will never lie because there is no later.

I can't help it, this was an unfortunate mistake. I'm just a guy passing by and sticking his neck in trouble, not Chloe they want to see again.

"I don't remember... I forgot... yes, that's what I mean"

In contrast to her blonde daughter, who cried out for woe, her brown daughter looked up like she had flashed something, poking her finger at me bish.

"Okay, Lord Chloe - even though I have amnesia!
