Kuro no Maou

Episode 723: Treatment Hospital

"- Ha, I'm glad it's no big deal"

"Right."

Instead of showing off, Lillian's body is safely on its way to comfort.

It seems that the cause of the illness, as Cruz said, was caused by Lillian's constitution, which is susceptible to the magical environment, and the addition of a cold there. He says that if he stays at rest, he will heal, but there is still no denying the possibility of deterioration. If you're sure to cure it, you're still right to take care of the doctor.

"But you can't go home today."

"I can't help it. In just one day, you can cure the effects of magic, so the advanced treatment centers are amazing."

I guess it's because I'm a healing wizard myself and I've had experience nursing Lillian who's been ill before. Cruz said so with a smudge and a sadness he didn't think was fourteen.

Never a bad wack of cruz. Everything is poor.

Well, now that I'm not poor anymore, I've decided to let Lillian get the best treatment here without threading the gold.

She is now asleep in a special room carved by the magic formation known as the rest room. They say the magic formations are higher magic rituals of healers (Priests) that have various effects depending on the patient's capacity.

Of course, this time the effects are tailored to Lillian's medical condition and physique, and if this magic formation is spent overnight, the cold will heal, as Cruz said, and the influence of magic will be dampened.

Lillian's constitution, influenced by her magic, is not wacky, reacting to certain magical qualities like allergies. Apparently, this is due to the poor switching to adapt to the magic environment.

It seems to be an occasional physique found in children of highly magical aptitudes, not just elves, and usually improves as they grow. And such a child doesn't travel as far away as the environment changes, but just grows up without any problems if he spends time in his birthplace.

But if it's a situation where you have to move your address like Lillian, this is what happens.

Anyway, Lillian's physique is neither incurable nor newly-discovered quirks, but is already an established way of dealing with them. So if we leave the rest to the doctors and the clergy of the healers (Priest), everything will be resolved.

Really, it's good not to be the worst situation I ever imagined. I can finally feel at ease.

"In the meantime, I'm in the rest room until tomorrow morning, so I'm in a visiting apology state. Once, Cruz alone will have time to return to base."

"You don't have to go in the room, I want you by Lillian's side"

Cruz, who responds without hesitation, is a sweet child. No, you should be commended for having a better father than that.

"It would be safer for me to just go back to base within the moment... so if I just left, Lillian would be pathetic, and I don't think I'd have to worry about being attacked by a gang if I were inside this treatment center"

Besides, I was able to make good decisions about the risks and circumstances of my actions.

This kid is really solid. Needless to say, Ursula also falls out in unexpected places. I see, I think it's because he was with us that we've been able to do this so well.

"Right, you'll be fine if you stay here"

Since there are usually inpatients in this treatment center, the family can accommodate staying in and accompanying them, nursing them. I've made sure there's nothing wrong with sitting overnight.

I'm worried about the safety zone that just moved, but I'll stay here tonight, too.

"Well, why don't we go have dinner in the meantime?"

I checked Lillian, whose fever wouldn't go down, and she came out in the early morning, so I didn't have breakfast. I am fine without food for a week, but the lines are thin and the cruz that grows will be hungry.

"What, okay, we're the only ones..."

"At times like this, you won't be able to help yourself by eating out. We came out of town. We could shop and buy souvenirs and go home, right? And then I want to buy Lillian something too... hmm, do you have a can of peaches or something"

"What is a Momocan?

Asked in vegetables, that means peach cans don't seem to exist in this world.

"I have a preserved food in a container of metal called peach or can, you know, either?

"Is the metal container okay? It's usually a bottle. Then..."

Unfortunately, canning still doesn't seem to have been invented in this world.

I can make cans and spread them, but I don't think I can imitate them. I have no knowledge or skill in successfully creating canned containers in the first place. All I can do is open the can with my bare hands. You power idiot.

"Nevertheless, isn't peach a super luxury that only royal nobility can speak of"

"What, peaches are that expensive!

"... Master Chrono is not like us at all, after all. Born noble."

"No, I'm not..."

Normal, I say, then I realize. Compared to the situation of modern Japanese boys' high school students and slave children like the Cruz and others, there is certainly that much difference.

Today, these kids are in a difficult position to eat, and I have caught a cold, so I want a can of peaches, and so on, and so on. It wouldn't be as different as the statement that if you didn't have bread, you could eat sweets.

"Uh, nothing. Anyway, I can afford some money. I want to buy you something that will cheer Lillian up."

"Well, Lillian will be delighted."

Maybe Cruz thinks he's a hell of a sweetheart who doesn't know the world about me. He said he was just a common sense idiot with money and power.

The cruz of the harsh condition of being sold as slaves cannot help but say that it seemed so. It is both the common sense of this world and the fact that a child is being horribly abused as a slave as a matter of course.

That's why I'm not willing to throw away the sweet, tender idea that I can have because I was born and raised in modern Japan, which is bullshit here.

One day, you just have to be a world where it's normal for a child who caught a cold to eat a can of peaches.

I guess I can't change the world just because I was planted with power in a torture-stained madness human experiment... but at least for these kids or so, I want to show them the obvious.

In search of their own meal and a tour of Lillian, they leave the treatment center and walk around the city again.

"Speaking of which, the atmosphere's a little different around here."

"Isn't it because there are so many beasts east of Carla Mara?

I see that, if you ask me, those who go the way stand out with fine ears, tails and furs. Some people feel like dogs and cats, others look like Lizardman or Minotaur.

Instead of humans, they look more monstrous, with their sorry but unpleasant memories of manoeuvre experiments. You're not coming at me all of a sudden.

"Maybe the eastern region is the territory of the Polar Wolf Club, so it's easy for the beasts to get together."

Was it one of the three big gangs, hostile to Silverian Familia?

A constituent tells the human-centered Silverian that the Polar Wolf Society is centered on the Beast Man. As the name of the organization is Wolf, the top seems to be Wolf Beast Man (Warwolf).

"Not just people, but buildings are starting to feel different."

Within walking distance, from the streets lined with inorganic concrete-style buildings and stone construction, Southern-style straw roof houses and Japanese-style buildings that closely resemble tile roofs have come to the fore.

Southern-style and ese Japanese-style architectural styles are also disturbing, and some parts feel chaotic for the price.

"I think the roof of the straw is Varna, and the roof like cobblestone is Ragna"

"Is the country different in Varna and Ragna?

"If you go straight north of Carlamara, there's an area with a lot of beastly tribes called the Varna Forest Sea, and to the west, there's the Duchy of Ragna. Looks like most of the beasts who come to Carla Mara are from either side."

It seems that Varna is Southern-style and Ragna is more Japanese.

Speaking of Ursula, my story is that there are other Gentiles in the past, that is, people who have come from Japan to this other world. Maybe Ragna's tile roof is what the Gentiles told him.

Um, if I think so, I'm interested in the Principality of Ragna, naturally.

"What kind of country is Ragna?

"What, um, I'm not that familiar with it either... there's a great nobleman who draws the blood of a black dragon, and it's like a very strong country. But it's closed, there's not much movement, it's a quiet country, it seems."

"Is the king also a black dragon?

"They call me Grand Duke, not King in Ragna."

"I see, that's why you're a principality, not a kingdom"

"Grand Duke of the Black Dragon, even this Carla Mara is famous as we all know it."

"Grand Duke Black Dragon is such a strong title."

"Yeah, they're very strong. There are rumors that if Grand Duke Black Dragon gets serious and goes to war, he can rule the Pandora continent, or he can be the next Demon King."

Have you come with the Demon King?

The legendary Mia Ellord, the ancient demon king, appears regularly to be an ambitious man for the reunification of the continent.

But it's peaceful and good that the Grand Duke of Ragna doesn't care about it.

"But does anyone come all the way from such a peaceful country to Carla Mara"

"It seems that the leader of the 'Polar Wolf Society' is Ragna's former nobleman. So, they often rely on someone who's been chased from the country."

That's how you've been expanding your forces while embracing people in your hometown?

If it gets bigger as it is, it's likely to cause civil unrest in Carla Mara as an independent force. Immigration problems in different worlds?

"Nevertheless, don't get lost when there are many stores like this..."

Come on, it's time to decide on the store and make it a meal.

I think I just came to the restaurant's standing section, and the street is filled with appetizing scents.

I don't care. I don't care where you are.

"It's the first place I've been, and I don't care if it gets bogged down, so I think it might be a little more reassuring to have a store that looks expensive. How's it going over there?

And what I gave you is the most prominent, big store on the street here, like the five towers. The temperamental, big wooden sign on the main entrance, coloured with red light, reads: "Authentic Ragna culinary specialty and Isea Grand Hotel".

Don't feel more Chinese than Japanese.

"Yeah, yeah, no, you can't have that high place!

"Oh well."

Cruz says no more than I thought, so let's give it up.

"I don't mind a small, cheap shop like that."

Cruz pointed to a store in the corner of the street that, to be honest, was a bit like a run-down mass cafeteria.

"Well, if you say Cruz is good, I don't mind..."

And his gaze turned toward the appearance of the guest and thinker who was standing at the store and had just come out.

"Oh, that girl, she's got ears and tails."

Because it remains human in appearance, with ears and tails growing.

The beast man feels like a beast on his face, or the beast itself, and his whole body is covered in fur.

But the type where only the ears and tails of the beast grow in a person's body, as in cosplay, was witnessed for the first time among people on the road. Could it be just fashion with ears and tails?

"Oh, aren't you a half-beast man, that guy?"

"Half-Beast Man...... I see, is that what some of them are"

If it's a mixed race of humans and beasts, they can look like that.

Nevertheless, growing ears and tails alone is a trait gene that is long and convenient.

But I don't care about the details, if you give me that look as a beautiful girl with a pungent eye, while growing big ears and tails shaped like a wolf. Conveniently my ears and tail grow and I thank God, I think.

She was a beautiful girl on top of the rarity, so she looked at the luxurious hindsight of a long blue ponytail shaking away, thinking of it as a kind of eye blessing, etc. - and suddenly stood at its whereabouts, four men.

"... hey, that one"

"Well, my friend, that doesn't sound like it."

Not very but not friendly atmosphere. Good Gatai, all human men. Their expressions are obviously awesome to intimidate, although it is not the yelling that gives them away.

After they had said something against the half-beast girl, they tried to surround her and disappeared into the alley.

"I don't have a choice, go"

"What, maybe you're going to help!?

"More than I've seen, I won't be able to help"

On her way to the alley, the girl didn't even scream for help or anything in particular, and she seems to have followed them in silence, so no passerby seems to have noticed anything unusual. We're probably the only ones who know her pinch.

"So, but... maybe those guys are members of Silverian."

"Really?"

"Definitely, it's chilling, but I saw the emblem"

Oh, my God, I didn't know they were the last people I wanted to find.

It's not a good idea to stick your neck in the extra and let Silverian know we're here.

"It's okay, don't worry. I'll make it. I'll take care of it."

"What, but..."

"Cruz, wait here. Scream if anything happens, I'll be right back"

Saying that almost unilaterally, I put Cruz down and headed down the alley.

I'm not really okay, I'm just worried, and I'm not sure I can do it well. But if you don't go help me here, you're lying.

You can't show it in front of Cruz, even though you have the power to help him, such as imitating him like you abandon him.

"... I've already found out, but do you want to stay black masked ash"

It's a gray robe similar to the one I wore before, and the mask was replenished just in case the same thing was still there with the kids toys.

Blackmasked Ash has been known to be a target to the killers, but he's still never come over to hide my face.

That's how my vision of completing the effortless transformation and jumping into the alley...

"Damn!

"Gu, gi..."

"Oh, you're pretty sticky, huh? So, are we going to have a little bit more?

"Grr, ma, wait... stop, ho, it breaks my bones..."

Falling on the ground in a thin dirty alley was a Silverian Familia man dressed in a suit similar to that of a captain of a slave ship, and it was a semi-beast girl with wolf ears who was kicking reverse shrimp stiffening with her Soviet feet.

There must have been four gangsters, I thought, but the other three are rolling around there in the alley with their hands and feet twisted strangely.

What, the opposite of what I had imagined is the sight spread.

I didn't think the girl was stronger, but it is in this other world that even children have strong powers, like Leki and Ursula. I guess this happens.

In the meantime, it became clear at a glance that you didn't need my help or anything.

No, wait, if you're actually saying you were attacking a quartet of men from a girl, should you go into their help...... no, it's a Silverian gang anyway, and what can happen?

and where it was self-completing, I tried to give it back its sleaze and heel,

"Hey, wait a minute, you!

Half-beast girl called me.

Well, that's right. I walked into the alley and I had eyes.

"Is that outfit, possibly the rumored black masked ash!?

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

cockroaches, and the unpleasant sounds in my ears and the sad screams of the man. I broke my hip when I called. Terrible daughter.

What are we gonna do, run away? No, if you show your back and run away, this kid will surely come after you with interest. That's all you can do, like a wolf after his prey.

"Oh, you're right... you didn't seem to need my help. Well, then, here I am."

"Wait, wait! Wow, it's real - I really had this kind of freak imitating it -"

Damn, I'm tangled up.

The half-beast girl leaves herself as she completely forgot about the man who did it by leaning on the reverse shrimp stiffening and smashing her hips, and she approaches me with total insecurity.

Again directly from the front, she is a beautiful girl.

Pinned wolf ears and fuzzy tails, then long ponytails are all blue and glossy. The finesse of the nostrils in the sliced eye is a flair even with the Rin Woman Swordsman if you keep your mouth shut, but the eyes that look at me have a sparkling smile like an innocent child full of curiosity.

At first glance, she seems like a beautiful girl.

But the signs of magic surrounding him tell me that this child is not an ordinary person. At the time I was instantly killing four good guys in Gatai, it's obvious it's not normal though.

Her hands and feet are thin and long and she doesn't look very muscular. The luxurious body only has a short white piece like costume, and doesn't have any weapons or magic equipment (magic items) like this.

As the men did, she overwhelmed them with one of these thin bodies.

Battle style of martial arts specialization using enhanced magic, etc. I just don't see any gaps, just walking over here.

"Hehe, about me, you came to help me?

"I was going to, but you did me an extra favor"

"No, no, because these are feelings. I'm glad there's no one around here to help me."

Doesn't that mean being abandoned, because everyone here knows how strong this kid is?

If you have all this skill, maybe you're a well-known adventurer.

"Well, I'll let you go now because I need you."

"Uh, wait, let's have a little more chat with me."

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry. I don't have time to play."

I'm not in a hurry, and I just have time to play, but I don't want to be involved, so I want you to just let me go.

"Uh, okay, okay, well, being here means you're off working as a hero on the first tier today, right? Or were you finally going to go punch into Silverian's headquarters?

Then it's on the other side. Okay, I'm packing more and more distances, so to speak.

Because of my weird interest, I can't think of a proper way to break up. What to do...

"Nothing, I don't plan on doing that. Why do I have to do something so dangerous?"

"Uh, because you're the escaped slave their officers killed, right?

Do you even know who I am?

No, wait, maybe I'm just camouflaging. It would be better if you could sparkle.

"I'm just an adventurer. It's just a whim to be helping a child, and I'm not going to be a hero."

"Haha, a random, ten-year-old lurker in a dungeon is just an adventurer's wacko."

"I don't know him like that."

"Hmm, so where are you staying? Can I go play in my room this evening?

Though his face is the one who laughs, his golden eyes like that moon have a giraffed light all the time saying he won't let his prey escape.

Perhaps this child is convinced that the captain killer being chased by Silverian and the black masked Ash are the same person, and even if not, it feels like he's willing to reveal himself from now on.

This is about time you stopped joking.

"What's your purpose?"

"Wow, awesome killing! This is no match for a bunch of mutton fish."

"If you're just going to stick with me for the sake of interest, don't. If not, I can help, but I'll shut you up."

This girl is definitely hand-worked. Don't be alarmed by the look of it, I'll have my magic all over my body and loaded with demon bullets so I can be in battle at the next moment.

"Nah, no, don't be so vigilant. Look, because he's so cute for you."

You call yourself cute?

My battle posture is definitely supposed to be guessing at the signs of magic, but this kid is just laughing defenselessly everywhere as if he's convinced he'll never be attacked.

"Answer me seriously. Are you an enemy?"

"Sorry, it's the one who introduces himself first, isn't it? I'm..."

and shortly after trying to raise his name with a dignified thin chest,

"Young lady!"

"What the hell is this?"

Two men's voices broke in anew.

"How dare you!

"Hiding your face with a mask is nothing but suspicious. Assassins."

The two men who showed up were so perfectly together in face and physique that they wondered if they were even separated. Maybe even if I don't, I'm a twin.

It's bigger and longer than the Silverian men who are falling in the alley, or even bigger than me, so it's over two meters tall.

Such a giant twin wraps a black monochrome costume like a cunt, his head is a brilliant round boy... no way, he really wouldn't be a wacko.

"Get away from this bender, young lady!

"It will destroy me now!

"Uh, that's fine, will you shut up for a second?

Where the still intimidating MAX giant boy Twins came into a swordswallowing atmosphere like he was coming at me, he raised his voice of restraint in how the girl was so ungrateful.

"Mmm."

"But, young lady"

"He's a black masked ash, a hero who protects the children of the first tier, and he was just about to invite me as my guest."

"Ha, was it Master Left"

"I wonder, however, if young people should stop dressing like that. At least one more, if you don't weave your feathers."

The girl wrapped around the black costume offered by the boy on the left, whilst she was jerking off.

"... dandara feathers"

The white yamagata pattern on the cuffs and hem is a very familiar design for me in Japan. Now if the fabric is water or light shallots, or if it was its coloring, it is a completely new team uniform.

If it is a black Dandara feather, will it be a loyal minister?

The girl who weaves such a Japanese-style costume will tell me the name this time.

"My name is Oren Libertus. One of the sons of Andrei Libertus, head of the Polar Wolf Society."

"... son?
