Kuro no Maou

Dawn one night, the next. The second day of the underworld moon.

I appreciate this different world calendar because it's no different from Earth. They say the underworld is equivalent to December.

So, as we fled to Ruined City, the first level of the Great Labyrinth where zombie monsters spread, we were able to safely reach the nearby safe area for a while. It is a solitary, reinforced concrete-style building, similar to where it was first visited.

The gang chaser hasn't shown up so far. After all, it doesn't seem like you're going to be pushing me all the way inside the dungeon.

But sending in assassins in small numbers, is not a zero possibility. As things stand, they're not supposed to know we're lurking in this place, but if they're a massive gangster, they'll be able to locate this place inside.

I'm not going to sit here for very long.

"Ursula, it was supposed to be tomorrow, wasn't it? Are you wearing eyeballs?

"Yeah, I'm gonna sneak into the biggest freighter on my final flight out of the big port"

I knew you'd be a freighter if you were to smuggle. I feel like I just did it the other day, but from me for amnesia, it would mean that I actually got on a boat to Pandora a a long time ago.

I have no idea if that's a year or two.

"It's a situation where both gangs are being watched. It could be difficult just to reach the harbor"

Naturally, they know we escaped into the dungeon. For example, it may be assumed that any facility that serves as an entrance or exit point has a lookout.

As the first area of the dungeon, this first tier is said to have the most magic entrance and exit, but precisely, a dozen places. Silverian Familia, who seems to have quite a few constituents, doesn't imitate anything that overlooks somewhere.

"It's going to be a forcible breakthrough in the end... but at least I'd like to make sure I know the route to the port and the ship I'm boarding"

Anyway, it's a city I don't know at all. I didn't even know which one was the harbor when I jumped out in the middle of nowhere.

Leki and Ursula will know, but they'll be standing around as escorts for the kids, and I'm greatly anxious not to know the directions. Under such circumstances as being temporarily separated, I stayed behind, and so on, we would not be able to rendezvous.

"I'm sorry, Ursula, can you hang out with me and ask for guidance?

"Leave it to me, Master Chrono"

"Hey! Then Leki's coming with you, Death!

"No, I'd rather have Leki if I were to stay here"

Even if the gang doesn't come, the frazzled zombies may attack. Even when it comes to safe areas, blocking entrances and exits to combat zombies or installing barricades to some extent. Absolute safety is not guaranteed.

And in Warrior Class Leki and Mage Class Ursula, when it comes to which one is more stable if you fight alone, there will still be minutes for warriors.

And if you ask for guidance, Ursula, who is better at explaining it, is one plain reason. If I'm being honest with you, I won't tell you because Leki is going to get hurt.

"Mu, woo, that's a shitty death..."

"Phew, Leki, leave a message. I date Master Chrono."

"Urgh!!

"Don't go hanging out, be careful."

Lack of tension, but keep your mind tight and set off.

"This is... a dream princess hug"

"It's a beautiful place. I'm sorry I couldn't do it."

If you're just going to move, it's quicker for me to run with Ursula. Noronoro walking normal zombies are, of course, much faster for me, even running zombies I call 'runners'.

I'm just running with Ursula for the colorless reason that it's efficient, but is it fun to do this, Ursula was in a slight mood.

Running through an abandoned city without any problems, I arrived at the exit of a different magic formation than the first one I came through. Though all the places are on the lookout, I didn't have the courage to get out of the same place that I ran into last night.

Look around lightly, but not popular here right now.

"Well, let's go."

"It's okay, we're ready for battle."

That way, Ursula and I will never be encased in the light of the magic formation, and we will return to the city of Carlamara.

And the desperate sight was spreading there.

GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Make a roar, sand, sand blowing all over your sight - outside, you couldn't help but go out, you were hit by a terrible sandstorm.

"No way, this is"

"Oh, my God... there's already a big storm coming"

The arrival of the Great Storm was forecast to still have a respite of more than a week.

But the weather is not so easy and accurate to understand. There are no weather satellites or anything, it would be even worse in such a different world.

"Goddamn it, there's never gonna be a ship out of here."

"Until the end of the Great Storm season, we'll be trapped in Carla Mara."

Smuggling onto a freighter and leaving the city early. The fundamentally disrupted operation forces us to change our policies.

Instead, when it comes to what you can do, there will only be one.

"Do I have to stay caged in a zombie city like this for over a month..."

"- and we were to cage for a while"

"Ooh..."

"Ha ha... I wonder if God has let us go..."

If you want to come back, report to Leki and Cruz first. I don't want to convey my anxiety, so Ursula is attracting me to the other room.

Or how Leki and Cruz can't hide their shock.

It is a cruz that begins the prayer of Christ with Ohmygod, and Leki, who holds his head, and the white God that he calls to heaven.

Honestly, I'd like to pray with you, God Buddha. Seriously, but you have to hold your heart strong as the oldest.

"I wouldn't be so pessimistic. The point is, you have to stay in the cage."

"So, but this is in the dungeon..."

"There are no powerful monsters in the first tier. Even if the zombies stop by, we can protect them."

If you're caged in a safe area, you can barely even get eyes on a zombie. Even in the worst case scenario, me, Leki and Ursula, if we all have enough defense.

I'll go out and buy some food and water. Fortunately, I have money.

Sleeping beds, safety and replenishment. In the dungeon, but quite well secured. You won't be able to get through it, even with ten kids, for about a month.

"Bored Death, but we'll have to wait until the big storm stops, Dace"

"In an environment like this, then you'll be stressed out too. It could be tough, but let's do something about it."

"Yes... I can't help it, can I, in this situation Bye"

Mostly, a cruz boy who's feeling weak, but telling him to be bright right now, like Leki, would be a harsh story.

As the oldest, I have to work hard to create a safe haven where I can be comfortable.

"Well, I'll start by looking for a place to be based"

This is only a temporary place I rushed in for now. Originally built as a safe area, and if both gangs are looking, they'll be here soon to check it out.

If we're hiding, we'd better create our own new safe area. We don't make big barricades, we don't have to think about camouflage or anything like that to make them less noticeable.

"Hey, now Leki's coming with you, Death!

"No, I can do it alone."

"But could it be Leki, the avoided Death?

It's a heartfelt shock, it's a half crying leki with a face like that.

"Over time here, the likelihood of a gang coming increases. I'd like to leave Leki and Ursula both alone in case of trouble. And, uh, next time we go shopping for food in the city, we'll go together."

"Really!? Death for both of us!!

"Oh, I promise"

Yay, and with the ambition of victory up, Leki rushes straight from the front, under, and hugs. I'm also allergic to dodging it, so I'll just shut up and take it.

"Dating Master Chrono! I'm not gonna be late for Ur, Dace!

"Well, look forward to it."

Leki's reaction, like expressing joyful emotions all over her body, wins me over confusion rather than happiness, too.

Leki and Ursula put a lot of favor and trust in me. From what I've heard, he's certainly a benefactor of life, he took care of a lot of things, and he's the savior who eventually knocked down the big flying octopus and saved a lot of people.

But I don't remember anything right now. I'm pretty sure it's amnesia, but still, even if they ask me about my work in the past, I just think of it as something else HR.

So even if Leki is overjoyed like this, I guess that's not me, but a reaction from seeing me in the past as a hero in her.

Nothing, I'm not a wacko jealous of my old self, but as far as I'm concerned right now, I feel stronger about the girl I just met putting my sincere trust in me and feeling sorry for her instead.

I really wondered if I was just a man who could live up to their expectations. The old me, too, just so happens to carry things well, I was wondering if it's really not a big deal. In the first place, was Chloe really me?

I feel sorry for myself because... well, that's all I've seen. I thought I finally got out of that hell, but now the end of not even being able to satisfactorily help the kids I met.

I haven't done anything right yet. I didn't make anything happen. In this other world, I'm just a kid with the power to fight halfway, I don't know the right or the left.

But they trust me with all their heart, trying to keep all the children's destinies. More than we've met this way, and more than we've known, I want to help everyone safely.

At least, that would be the mission to be accomplished for me right now - and I just want to be cool and ready, but I can't help but be distracted because of Leki.

"In the meantime, it's time to leave"

"Mm-hmm. Just five more minutes."

Leki has been holding on to me for a long time, and besides, he's thrilling his body with something, and I feel like it's time for a suspicious atmosphere that just crosses the skinship spectrum. How about this, it's no good any more. 'Cause Leki, she's got a big chest... and she's not the same wacko holding Lillian.

I know you're still a kid at your age, but still, if you snuggle up to this point, it's also a limit that you're unconscious. Damn, your combat skills are supposed to be up, but you couldn't raise your immunity to women, old me!

Get away from me. Cruz is scared, too.

"What, no, I'm not..."

Cruz boy who deflects his gaze openly. No, I know what you're trying to say. I don't want you hanging around forever under these circumstances, I guess that's the place.

"You don't have to worry about Cruz, Dace"

"No, I'm watching Ursula."

"Leaky, no."

"What, Ur!?

Ursula, who had appeared at some point, glances at me with her jitsy eyes. Behind her, the children she was attracting also continued to zoom into focus.

"Well, I'll be there."

Reluctantly, after Leki leaves, I'm dropped off by everyone and rolled out looking for a new base. Well, I hope you find a good room.

"... I see you're the adventurer"

Single, rolling out into an abandoned city, I was sneaking up on a bunch of people walking down the street from the roof of a building about to collapse.

Armed with swords and spears, a guy with a shield in a heavy armored helmet, and then a magician in a robe, are all outgoing groups that are likely to appear in fantasy RPGs. There was someone from the chest lowering the testament of an adventurer known as the Alliance Card, so I'm pretty sure they're an adventurer party.

When it comes to imitating such adventurers like these peeps, it's simply because I was interested.

For once, Leki and Ursula are adventurers, and I used to be adventurers, too, and they climbed to the highest ranks. I am purely interested in being an adventurer.

Honestly, there are some things I'd like to talk to them about and ask them a lot, but now if I inadvertently make contact with people, that information could be passed on to both gangs. As things stand, it would be best to act so that no one sees you.

"I think I'd better gear up that way, too."

Drop off a quiet forward adventurer party while alerting the Quartet and zero such thoughts.

My outfit is dressed from a worn out garment that fortunately remained dressed from a slave merchant ship, as there was what appeared to be my own garment in The Shadow Space (Shadowgate). Pretty good quality trousers, shirts and jackets, but anyway, they don't leave the area of personal clothing. At least, it didn't seem like he was dressed to fight.

Then, in the unlikely event that he was witnessed, he decided to wear a hood with a jacket like a gray hoodie and, on top of that, a mask.

Masks, though, are the face of toys, which were among the things the children brought out.

Designed like a knight's helmet, I appreciate the unexpected visibility if worn. However, the material is as peppery as thick paper. It can be blackened and reinforced somewhat, but cannot be expected from defense.

Even in this respect, I can fully play the role of being able to hide my face completely.

For now, this is the limit.

The zombies on the first tier are basically miscellaneous fish, so they don't take a back where they have dealt with each other naked consistently of weapons pears. But guys like the powerful creatures that zombies have evolved, and gangs could send in armed assassins, too. I want to get all my protective gear in order to have a full combat posture.

I was a Rank 5 adventurer, what kind of gear was I wearing? I'm also a little worried about that gear because the class name had become such an embarrassing name as' Black Nightmare Mad Warrior (Nightmare Berserker) '. There's no way I'm going to love that curse. You're crazy to wield such a dangerous thing.

I'm sure these two names were given to me by my surroundings on their own, and they must never have been named after me. Yes, so to speak, you must have suffered reputational damage.

Anyway, about the armor, about the past I don't remember, it's behind me now.

"If you're going to live here for a while, you should have as sturdy a building as possible. I want a lot of space too."

I've got ten little kids here. In a room the size of two DKs like that apartment with hairs, I'm sorry to be stuffed and live.

"There's hygiene, and you should be as clean as you can... Speaking of which, what about the bathroom or something"

If I am alone, I will not have to know, and there are a total of fourteen people, including myself.

If you live in the same place for more than a month, you should also be concerned about securing toilets and baths.

If zombies and gangs attack, we can fight and protect them, but if they get sick in an unhygienic environment, we can't hit them with our hands. I also hear that Lillian is particularly sick.

In a situation like this, it's not even that easy to get him to a doctor. There was a lot of potion in my shadow, but basically considering the battle, most of it healing trauma, I don't know how effective it is to heal the disease.

Maintaining children's health is an important matter.

"But it's the safest part, and I like the location to hide as much as possible..."

The more I think about it, the more and more conditions overlap.

Really, is there such an ideal place? Or if there was such a place, it would be used as a safe area for the most part.

Don't give up before you look. In the meantime, let's just look around.

Besides, I'm in the mood to be free from the experimental life of hell and finally be free to run around a spacious place over a narrow, painful smuggling. In the meantime, I want to fly and jump and run around an abandoned city with this body and check my mobility as well.

"Whoa, you're so light."

Run for real, climb and descend the ruins, and imitate Parkur, and you'll know exactly how your body is. I couldn't afford to test it satisfactorily because it was a chopped situation while I was fleeing a slave merchant ship or a gang raid.

From the time of the manoeuvre experiments in my memory today, the body that had already undergone various modifications showed far more physical abilities than ordinary people... from this feeling, I can feel that it is undergoing further growth.

It's the first time I've ever felt so vibrant that even though I'm running, my stamina doesn't diminish at all, on the contrary, I'd rather move more. Even though it's just tough leg strength, the more I apologize for adding or subtracting it, the more I can feel the more I inadvertently step through a ruined roof or floor.

Because of amnesia, my consciousness and flesh specs still seem to have quite a bit of conundrum.

This is practice. I mean, the thing that bothers me the most is that black magic is more than physical ability.

"Huh."

The minute I land on the roof of a building that I climbed after covering a wall kick about three steps, I stop moving perfectly.

I think I heard a voice now.

Dungeons, so there will be those who attack normally like the adventurers we just saw. But I think what I heard was a child's voice.

"Huh!

"... that way"

Now I could hear it more clearly. Apparently, it's like screaming.

The distance is likely to be considerable, but it won't be long if you run.

"I don't want to stick my neck in the extra, but I know and I don't sleep well to abandon you."

Well, now I'm also the guardian of the little ones. A guy like that, I heard a kid scream, but I ignored him, then I wouldn't be able to show him.

Even if I don't, if I don't do anything here, I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight because I care.

"Okay, let's go."

Determine your mind and run out at once.

Running through the rooftops of the building, flying away, moving in the direction of screaming. The zombies roar down the road on the ground, so it's much less likely to encounter this way through the rooftops.

"Wowwwwwww!"

But even if you're on top of a building, you can also bowl in with a maneuverable guy, such as a running zombie like a 'runner'. Now, a runner appeared screaming in front of him, scattered with covetousness.

"Out of the way"

As soon as I find him, I'll punch the 'rifle' in his forehead and shut him up.

I'm going to go help the kid, but I can't take him, and most importantly, if he screams and calls his people, it's trouble.

If you use it in a single shot, instead of suppressing the power, it's not that hard to keep the firing noise down indefinitely and shoot a bullet. silencer mode, but should I say.

So I quietly process the runner and finally I arrive at the source of the scream.

"Wow, ahhh... brother, what am I going to do..."

"Shit, I got pinched... but no more"

Seeing, two boys in bags were stunningly surrounded by a bunch of zombies.

Zorozolo and zombies loom in narrow alleys on the outer walls of tall, soaring buildings. Of course, front and back are completely blocked.

At the earliest possible time, the situation ends the stage of screaming and fleeing, and all that remains is to be eaten in despair.

Good, critical and on time.

"Go, Buster Sword"

Like jumping in from the top of a building, he unleashes two great swords with 'automatic swordsmanship'.

Zombies are killing each other in a narrow alley. With a sword the size of a blade, you can sweep it away easily.

I myself descend in front of the boys who were being hunted down in the middle of the alley, leaving the great sword to power and the magic to cleave forcefully against the zombies coming from the front and back.

"Hey, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Zombies here don't make you a zombie if they bite you otherwise, but that doesn't make it a good reason to leave your injuries alone. Fortunately, I have a lot of potions, and I have no problem splitting them up a little bit.

"Wow, wow..."

"Oh, um, are you an adventurer...... sorry, all the stuff I've collected here, so please just miss your life"

Already the zombies were swept away and saved the pinch I felt like a little hero, but the dialogue out of the boy was a clear begging for life, not a word of gratitude.

"Oh, hey, I..."

"That's really all, I don't have a single piece of copper coin because I'm just here to collect it, please!

"Ugh, brother..."

The older boy, who looks like his brother, is bowing his head while trying to shelter his brother, who is completely frightened and trembling.

What's this all about? I just helped out where the zombies attacked me, I don't remember doing the lizards, and I didn't say anything that would be misunderstood.

"Wait, calm down. I'm not going to rob you. I just helped you guys."

"Ho, really...?

I saw something incredible, a boy looking up at me like that.

Sure, it just seems like he's wearing a mask over a hood in a hoodie or something like a robbery.

Most of all, when I exposed my face, I would just be even more afraid.

"For one thing, let's evacuate to a nearby safe area. I'll take you there."

"That's, uh... thank you, sir"

It's an action not originally planned, but it can't be helped because it's a help.

Yes, while justifying himself, he took the two boys who would follow him by surprise and followed him in an alley where the bodies of the bassari and the mutilated zombies rolled.
