Kuro no Maou

"Hahaha, I thought you were a cute girl? Too bad it was a boy -!

"No, I'm just surprised, rather than sorry."

Our kids also have beautiful boys who can mistake them for girls, but this Oren is bad in nature because she looks feminine from her outfit. Hey, don't flinch a short wimpy hem.

"Uh, what the hell is this..."

"Sorry, I got a little flushed into the situation, too. But I don't think I can ignore him, I'm sorry, but hang out with me."

I know you're really sorry for the confused cruz next to me, but you can't just not listen to Oren saying that this is for the first time the son of the 'Polar Wolf Club' team leader.

The place moved out of the alley, now in a spacious dining room with a sesame oily scent that tickles your appetite. The interior is a little too flashy for a sparkling decoration that is a little dazzling, with statues that mimic dragons and animals.

But since this is the top floor of the Pentagon at the Isea Hotel, and we're the only ones sitting at the huge round table in the middle of the room, it's definitely VIP treatment.

Oren brought me here to hear that we haven't had our meal yet, but I'm too upset. Even I do, so Cruz's uncomfortable will be immeasurable.

"So, what's the story?

"You, what is that way of speaking to a young lady!

"The adventurer spirit, turn your minutes around!

"Will you shut up for a second? Next time you talk to me, I'll throw you out that window."

When I thought Tame mouthed me, for Oren's sake and with a serious threat, the two boys shut up.

"I'm sorry, this bald guy isn't my direct report, he's like a watchman pushed by my dad. So forgive me if I can't read air."

"No, I don't care"

Well, dear trail boy, if you want to chat with a dubious man in a mask like this, it's weirder not to be on guard.

"So, shall we eat first? You must be hungry."

"We need to talk first. There's no reason to be extravagant here."

"No, the mask hasn't been removed yet, and I'm wary."

"I really didn't want to be involved with anyone"

Because of Oren's identity and his obsession with me, I've come this far thinking that he won't be able to escape unless I listen to him for the first time. Conversely, I'm not going to allow anything more than listening yet.

"It's okay, Silverian is the only one who's after you. We're not trying to catch you, but we're trying to help you, right?

"Why?"

"Well, for us and the Polar Wolf Club, he and the others are the haters of uncluttered heaven. Even if it's just harassment, it's too much to support you."

The conflicting structure between the "Polar Wolf Society" and the "Silverian Familia" is pretty deeply rooted information that even I, the dungeon drawer, have heard of. Indeed, there would be no possibility that his successor son Oren would purposefully imitate me by setting me up and selling me to Silverian.

"But it's not free, is it? What are you gonna do to me?"

"Um, so far, nothing in particular. It's just enough that you're coming in."

Can you be a jerk to me? Or even let a killer like them run their business?

"I assure you of your skill, so it's not suddenly impossible to treat executives. I mean, I'll definitely be my direct report, so don't worry."

"You're buying me a lot. I'm not making a big deal of it."

"I don't think there's anyone in this world who can imitate you."

I don't know, if you had the same power as me, there would be as many guys who could do better. It's just that the bearers of all this power are scarce, and I don't have a fine mind to say this myself.

I was just reminded the other day that just being strong doesn't make me a hero.

"I don't think that's a bad story. Are you going to keep the little ones in the dungeon safe house forever?

"I don't feel like it. If the big storm stops, Carla Mara will leave"

"Getting out of here doesn't make much difference, does it? You got ten kids who don't have any more than you? Too heavy to bear alone. No matter how strong you are, you can only take care of one child at a time."

"No problem so far"

"If you give it to us, we can put those kids together and take care of them, right? I have a few orphanages, and I can look for foster care if there's about ten of them. I don't think I need to think about what's safer and more futuristic for my children than what's going to be our asylum."

I didn't know you were even going to say you were going to take all the kids... how serious are you?

You can't, I have all the combat experience, and I'm not particularly polished with these rushing techniques.

"And you, you just got killed yesterday, didn't you? Sounds like you've paid back quite a bit, but if Silverian means it, then I'm sorry."

"... you're a fast ear. I didn't know you knew that already."

"With all that rage, even the lower end will hear rumors. Hey, hey, you really killed that" rusty "and" child killer, "didn't you?

Probably about that rusty armored helmet bastard and that crazy healer woman. Were they famous?

"If I work with you, can I guarantee they won't be after me anymore?

"At least we can't do what we want on each other's territory while our forces antagonize each other."

"For that matter, weren't you tangled up earlier?

"You've decided to go all the way to my place!

Is it true? The watchman and the twins had lost sight of Oren, so it doesn't all seem to behave as planned.

Well, although I have doubts, Oren's suggestion is certainly fascinating.

I said no problem, but I'm all anxious about what I'm going to do, and I don't have any big prospects.

Instead, Lillian collapsed after being forced to move the base. Not very much, but not a good lurking life.

But if you belong to a 'polar werewolf association' that can counter them, it will be a safer environment, at least than it is now. It should be far better to be looked after in a proper orphanage than in such a dungeon stronghold.

"Aren't you always willing to play child amulet? That's all there is to it, you can't be anonymous forever. Gangsters, adventurers, knights, you'll soon become one. Heroes aren't dreams."

No, I'm nothing like that. I don't have that kind of greed or ambition.

I just want an environment where I can be peaceful and safe. But that's the hardest part of the situation right now...

"Sure, Oren's right. But right now, on this occasion, I can't decide on my own. Just give me a second to think."

"Phew, fine, because this year's big storm is going to be prolonged. If you feel like it, you can tell this store."

"Well, thank you"

It's not even going to be a cheap ride wack, but this is a sufficiently likely proposition as another option from Carla Mara Escape.

"Then, as a sign of friendship, will you show me your name and face?

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to name you until I've decided to talk to you"

"But if you don't take your mask off, you won't be able to eat."

"Oh, I don't have to eat..."

Damn, wow, the food looked delicious was subtly arranged on the table, but this place is patient for confidentiality.

So Cruz, eat up for me. Don't look at me like that, because I'm really okay. Because I'm a patient man.

The next day, early morning.

Lillian, who left the resting room and was transferred to the normal hospital room, rests quietly on the bed. On that pillow, only Cruz is watching his sleeping face.

"... hey, what do you want Lillian to do?

Knowing that there was no answer, Cruz crushed that.

Enter the orphanage of the Polar Wolf Society.

Yesterday, an unexpected suggestion went up and Cruz was also at a loss to decide what to do.

It should be a coincidence, Chrono was eyed by the heir son of Carla Mara's big gang, the Polar Wolf Society, so to speak, a pull-out story.

Cruz, who was present, has enough head to speculate on the content of that conversation, which is why I know that Chrono is troubled, and I also understand that it is a difficult issue that cannot be decided quickly.

To talk to Leki and Ursula as well, Chrono returned to base alone within yesterday, leaving Cruz alone at Lillian's.

Cruz has been thinking about this with Guru almost all night and has not slept with Locke.

No, what really bothered him was not the choice whether or not to go into an orphanage.

"I don't know if I have to be here anymore."

When he was sold to a slave trader and at the bottom of his disappointment, Leki and Ursula - as the two angels led him - obtained the freedom of the name to say flee.

What I have is a slight healing magic power and a year-to-year knowledge and brains. Then parenting and ability to live just to be looked after by a small child.

In the orphanage of the Church of Aria, once cared for, it is to the extent that everyone was prepared for it as a matter of course, and Cruz does not consider himself to be a flying and brilliant person.

Even such a mediocre self felt that there was indeed a place for Leki, Ursula and a life surrounded by ten children. Compared to the Church's orphanage, there was a strange sense of fulfilment, although it was a tough life such as a series of troubles, on a painful long journey that was also life-threatening. Or maybe it's a sense of purpose.

If I don't work hard, if I don't work hard, we can't all live. I am glad that I am an essential part of this life. Leki and Ursula, it seemed proud to be able to support them as dazzling as those angels.

I wasn't too dissatisfied with being protected by girls younger than myself.

I'm sure that's because from the time we first met, we understood.

Leki boasts superhuman physical abilities. Ursula uses horrible magical powers. The two beautiful girls, with their uninterrupted power and talent, are special. Unlike myself, I'm not like any other elephant. Too different.

So I thought you were a real angel.

Love emotions, not. That would be a more sublime, emotion that should also be called faith.

Poor slave child, that he is an angel sent by a white God who guides his destiny. It was therefore an unparalleled joy for Cruz to devote herself to them and to the path of salvation itself.

So it wasn't bitter to keep taking care of as many as ten children. I'm not at all dissatisfied with sharing my meal with those kids, even if I feel a little twitchy.

Lillian was captured and came to the end of Carla Mara, even in a dangerous life where he didn't even know when the gang would attack him...... he could stand it. I can work harder, I can do better, Leki and Ursula, if it's for my angels.

But Cruz knew that day, that moment, that it was a mistake.

They're not angels or anything.

With God's mission, he does not have the power to open up any harsh destiny.

Leki and Ursula, it was they who reached the limit first.

Because I helped Lillian out because it was Chrono.

"I wonder if this was the real fate,"

Chloe, the priest, and the man they called, the admirer.

I don't know how many times I've heard that story before. But I wonder why you don't remember much.

That must have been because I felt that way, like being told about a god of a religion I had no idea about. Both Leki and Ursula have full confidence, no, greater and deeper feelings for the man. As if even God believed.

But no real God will ever appear before man. To such an extent as whether you can hear that whisper, even at the moment of granting protection.

In other words, for Cruz, Priest Chloe thought he was as far away as God, never to appear before Leki and Ursula again.

So there's no jealousy. I don't care about those two men talking about love enthusiastically, etc. 'Cause there's no way we can meet again or anything. There's no way the man who abandoned you two and ran away can come out now.

His presence can only last forever, in memories that he receives with respect.

In reality, for the rest of our lives, I'm the only one who can support these two.

"Really, you're stupid... Leki, Ursula, you're not angels..."

It was the same.

Leki and Ursula are just like themselves. It's just that the believers were different.

For both of us, Chrono is the same as for both of us.

"... normal, I was a girl"

Chrono, who came with Lillian, the two eyes standing next to him, oh, rightly, like the faithful who saw the miracle of God.

We both, like ourselves, wanted someone to help us, and we wanted them to lead us.

And really, incredibly, it appeared in reality - the one who saves Leki and Ursula. By the way, the two most beloved men.

"That's right... if there's someone like this, it's up to me to rely... on the kind of guy you guys can rely on, that guy."

Since Chrono showed up, my life has changed.

He saved Lillian, gently kicked a group of gangs that had attacked him, and let him try to secure a dignified base of life among the dungeons.

isolated force enough to overwhelm Leki and Ursula. For the time being, just enough money to eat and go.

Chrono showed up with everything we needed.

"Lillian is right. Yeah, I finally found a place to feel safe."

Why is Lillian nostalgic for Chrono? I'm sure Cruz is the only one who understands why.

She was always anxious. As the youngest toddler, I was probably instinctively wondering how dangerous this environment was.

So Lillian realized that the inside of Chrono's chest was a safer and more secure place than anywhere else.

It is a big difference from myself, who had deified Leki and Ursula as angels and relied on them both in life and in spirit. Lillian must have been convinced from the beginning that the lives of these children alone would eventually be destroyed.

"So I'll be done... no, I can't stand it"

Chrono showed up and lost his existential value.

If you rely on him, take care of the children and other things. There's nothing wrong with taking the initiative and not having to do it yourself.

Chrono showed up and smashed his fantasy.

Leki and Ursula are just girls, admiring, honoring, loving and, at last, even dedicating themselves to Chrono.

Cruz has noticed so much. That you two are going to his bedroom every night. About the first night the two of them headed there.

It's natural to be that way, but what a prediction I was supposed to be, but when I saw that reality, Cruz threw up to death.

"There is no place for me here anymore. My angel is gone."

I have nothing to do.

Going into an orphanage? That's good. Finally, it just came to where it should be.

Good for you, Leki, Ursula. The interrupting luggage finally disappears and I can love Chrono without worries.

Everyone will be happy, not willing to interfere with such a future.

"So, I'm going."

In the hospital room where the morning sun plunged in, Cruz stroked Lillian's head sleeping mercifully.

"Goodbye, Lillian. Be well."

Leaving that behind, Cruz walked away, alone.
