Kuro no Maou

Having eaten a call from Oren, I visited the Mansion, home of the Polar Wolf Club, for the first time. I get the impression that the tile-roofed Ragna-style mansion is kind of like a martial arts mansion, including walls and squares surrounding all sides. But the mansion itself was a big three-story building, and it also had a temple-like appearance. I don't know, it feels like a Japanese-style stage in this western gay.

Strict security is already in place, and many black torso escorts like those twins are urring through the mansion and its surroundings.

Fortunately, my appearance as a black masked ash is famous, and the proper messenger brought me something introductory, so the meeting went smoothly to Oren, who is in the mansion.

"Hey, I've been waiting, Ash"

When I was guided to the reception room and the thought place, Oren was waiting inside.

In addition to the dandara feathers today, the costume underneath is also lightly armored, like fully armed. The usual signs of crushing lurk into a sharp atmosphere like a razor blade.

"What can I do for you about Zanadu's legacy?

Oren nods, but turns his gaze behind me.

"If we're going to talk about this, I'll have you both present"

I'm bringing Leki and Ursula with me today, just as Oren can follow the twins.

"Fine, you're a threesome."

Permission is granted to relieve them for the first time. It's troublesome to get stuffy here.

"So, what do you want from us?"

"I need your help."

Well, I expected cooperation or non-interference.

"To be honest, I don't really want to get involved in this mess."

"That's not going to happen either. Everyone in Carla Mara can't be irrelevant."

"If you get out of here, it's the same thing."

"This year's big storm will be prolonged. Two months to go, it's in the longest pattern."

Hatter to hold back...... no, I've heard of that kind of forecast since I started living on the ground too.

"Still two months, you just have to endure"

"I wish I could stand it."

"Are you going to threaten me now?

"Take a look at the legacy of Xanadu to Silverian. No matter how many of us win at once. Carla, Mara's power map is gonna flip."

"... that's it"

"That's it. You've already turned all the lights off."

I was wondering, but apparently the lights are out all over the city. It's daytime now, so there's no inconvenience, and it's not that noticeable, but at night, the impact manifests itself prominently. It's simply a blackout.

"Whose fault is this? Not only the lights, but the water and the fire seem to be stopping, but it won't be stylish for long."

"This is expected to be the work of Chaos Legion. Lately, they've been rumored to have acquired the ability to manipulate ancient ruins."

So, as a result of the manipulation, he said it was causing such a massive power outage.

At a time like this...... no, only at a time like this.

"Whether it's Silverian, Chaos Legion, it's obvious to you that if you give up control over the rest of them, it won't be a Loc thing for you, will it? Our orphanage doesn't know what's going to happen."

Damn, I knew it was almost a threat.

But this situation is by no means a bad wack for Oren.

It was in the first place that Zanadu tailored a situation where a legacy was available to everyone, and it was a country called Karamara that was being raised by those who were not even Loch, led by Silverian.

"I have a cooperative relationship to protect your safety... but under these circumstances, there are limits to strength. I'm sorry about that."

"No, that's okay. No one could have guessed this would happen."

Yet if Xanadu had distributed his inheritance to his body in common sense, there would have been no such confusion.

"So this isn't really a threat. I'm making a request to help you and whoever you want to protect."

"Ha... I knew that would happen"

"Didn't you really know what to do yourself?

"Stop it, I wasn't really on board. I don't want a legacy. I just wanted peace."

"Then I'll give you a little more push on the back"

I have a bad feeling there's still something there, but it didn't go to the wax of not asking.

"'Chaos Legion' is stopping this light, but they say the mastermind is Lily"

"He again?"

You think it's not enough that you just smashed Emilia's concert?

"In short, the crusaders you're most wary of and the work you're doing. What do you think would happen if Soitz and the others took over Carla Mara's hegemony? Sure, you're after the conquest of the Pandora continent?

"Shit, that sucks..."

Was this all Sariel came all the way to the end of a continent like this? I came here because I have enough stuff to conquer Carla Mara in one shot.

If they get a flourishing country called Carla Mara, they'll use this as a base to spread the demon's hand of aggression. Worst of all, even if you really conquer the continent with the momentum of the bamboo.

"The Element Master has already entered the Great Labyrinth. It was pretty flashy, so I got the intel in right away. He said the adventurers were kicked in the entrance on a hundred basis. Sure, you're right. You seem to have some unbottomed strength."

Have you finally revealed your true nature?

Looks like he's coming to win with all his might. Their ambitions are beyond doubt.

"With the strength of the Seventh Apostle Saliel, it is not strange that even the Great Labyrinth can attack one shot"

"Well, that's not true, maybe."

"Ugh, I don't think you have to worry too much, Death, do you?

Leki and Ursula, who have been adults before in such a way as to be afraid, said.

"We can both say that because we don't know how horrible he is!

"Ugh, I'm sorry..."

"Thorley, Thorley, Leki was bad Death......"

"No, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell"

They are both awesome shun because of their rarity and anger. I don't even try to look at my face, looking away from my gaze.

Though I'm still shocked that I'm too angry at that reaction... if Sariel is the target, I'm not sure I can protect both of you. Because even I am in danger.

I'm going to keep working out, but still don't feel like I can catch up with Sariel.

"So, are you ready to dive into the Great Labyrinth with me?

"Oren, I don't have the in-laws to risk my life to the Polar Wolf Club, or the ambition to target Xanadu's legacy. But let's cooperate. We work together to avoid the worst."

Me, Leki, Ursula, I'm not gonna let anyone die. I don't know if I can die here.

But I'm sure there's someone else who really doesn't want to give Zanadu his legacy.

First of all, Sariel the Crusader. Then the Silverians.

"I'll let you choose who you fight."

"Mmm, I can't help it, do I have to compromise with that"

My policy is to fight or obstruct only those in need if they win. Other than that, I dare not lay a hand on those involved in the Xanadu treasury, for example.

Worst case scenario, I feel like I can handle whoever wins the estate but Sariel.

"Leki, Ursula, is that okay?

"Jesus! I'm a Leki hardworking Death!

I want Zanadu's legacy.

Did you hear what I said?

Well, that's a better mindset than freaking out and snubbing in.

"Then let me only promise to cooperate"

"Copy that. Well, then, the contract is in place."

Not in earnest, but 'Ash to Ash' was also set to enter Xanadu's inheritance race.

We left the mansion. On that leg, we headed straight to the orphanage, House of the Rabbit.

"I've already taken Xanadu's legacy. If Master Chrono means it, he can afford it."

"Guys, I'll see you at the barbecue for the celebration festival when I get home, Dace!

Leki and Ursula are telling the kids to leave financially.

It can be a pretty dangerous battle for us, but I can't tell you how anxious I am to deal with a child.

"Dear Chrono... Are you kidding me?

"Oh, I'm fine. Leave it to me, Lillian."

As usual, I tell you, hold Lillian, who snuggles at me and sweetens me. Don't let anxiety enlighten you.

"I'm a hero. Heroes never lose to bad guys. It's like I helped Lillian back then."

"Yeah."

Nod, and you'll stick to my chest.

Damn, she's cute. It's a lovely dish.

"That's why I'm waiting for you, good boy."

"Yeah, Master Chrono......"

"Hey, you don't have a souvenir today?

Mia started choking at her feet as she was embracing her smudges and Lillian.

"You're out, problem boy."

"Uh, what's not terrible about it!?

"I'm listening to what you're doing."

"Hehe."

Don't laugh and delude me. Totally, I mean, it's just stuffing.

"You're so old, you have to hold on tighter."

"Yes."

"You can't show the other kids. Little kids grow up looking like that."

"Oh, I know."

He hasn't heard a word from me in a long time, and he keeps his mouth shut with such faces as fed up. Really, this kid's the same.

"Mia, do me a favor for everyone."

"No more, you can't ask me to do that in person. Bye. Everybody's gonna be worried."

'Cause it's sharp in strange places, Mia.

You're absolutely right. I am now in the mood for a life-threatening dungeon attack.

"I'll be absolutely fine. Because for Master Chrono - I'm with you!

"Ha ha, godlike things to say nasty"

"Ha-ha-ha, I'm Mia Ellord, the ancient demon king! Grant thee the protection of the Demon King."

"Yes, yes, thank you"

I'm feeling better. This seems like you don't have to show other kids the sickening side of your anxiety.

That's how we decided to head to the Great Labyrinth, promising our children we'd be safe and sound.

"... good, you're here"

Emilia looks at my face and says, softly. With a strange attitude, it's as if a woman should confess to a boy.

Well, I've never been confessed in real life... Oh, would Leki and Ursula have been sued? But you said you were too young to be honestly thrilled.

"I didn't think you'd even call Emilia"

I am meeting Emilia yesterday today because I was told to come now. Danger, I almost left for the Great Labyrinth.

I came to see Emilia while Leki and Ursula waited for me. The location is the home of The Golden Dawn (Golden Dawn). I just delivered a drunken Emilia this morning.

"I've already been called out. I thought you were at the Polar Wolf Club?

"I have a relationship with Oren. I can't get in the way... and I have a good reason."

Then we're going to the Great Labyrinth.

"Oh. So it's good to see Emilia before we go"

Never a wack ready for this lifetime's farewell, but nevertheless the danger to life is extraordinarily higher than the usual quest. In today's Great Labyrinth, it is overflowing with rivals over heritage. More dangerous enemies than monsters.

"... don't go"

"For a wacko like that -"

"Don't go! Don't leave me! You'll stay by my side, Ash!

Whoa, suddenly they hugged me!?

What, why are you so aggressive all of a sudden? Emilia is. Are you so worried about me by now?

"If you go into the Great Labyrinth now, your brother might kill you."

"Oh well... you do"

My brother Zenongart is Carla Mara's strongest adventurer. Simply think about it. It is the most powerful winning candidate for this legacy race.

Besides, he is also an ambitious man who has publicly declared himself to be "the Demon King"... can't he miss this chance?

"Don't worry, Emilia. I'm not really a wacko after heritage. There's just these guys who can't really give you the legacy."

And Zenongart is not included in it. If you can, it's going to fit better if he keeps his legacy in his hands.

"If Ash doesn't fight, your brother will win! So don't go, don't do anything dangerous."

"I'm sorry, Emilia. I still have to go."

"Why not! I don't care about anything else...... for me, even heroes will stop!

I'm not obsessed with being a hero.

Sariel's ambition is not stopped because he wants to save the Pandora continent by pulling Carla Mara.

However, if I don't... I'm scared.

When will they catch you again?

And now I'm not the only one - that's all, I definitely have to stop it. In case you don't just eliminate the danger, there will be no peace for me.

"If I have to go, maybe I can't protect what I want to... so it's the last time. This is the last time I'm gonna do something like a hero."

"Why... that's enough... take me and run away now..."

I'll never let go, I'll just hug me tight, and I'll nod my tears in my chest.

My heart shakes. I also want to run away now.

"Emilia, you have to trust me. I will not be impotent, I will definitely return"

I'm not dying. Even the odds are marginal.

The point is, we don't even need the keys in Sariel's hands. You don't have to go until you defeat him. Thinking about it, it's a far better condition to win than to compete head-on.

If someone else gets the keys and inherits the estate...... enough of the rest. All I could do was stop Sariel from taking Carla Mara's calculation instantly, and all I could do would be to the limit.

If you want more than that, you will surely need to be prepared to wage war.

"... never fight your brother, do you?"

"I won't fight. I said we cooperated."

However, when Xenongarto and Oren meet each other... let them penetrate the non-interference. A corner stands about both.

"Really, will you come back alive?

"You bet. When I get home, I'll take Emilia anywhere."

I'm talking about if you're willing to run away. If my brother wins in due course, Carla Mara's comfort is like guaranteed, and Saliel and Lily won't be able to stay on the boulder.

When that happens, Emilia usually blooms back to the top idol... that's zero element I have to help. Well, that's the happiest ending and the best.

"... yeah, I get it. After all, Ash is a hero, so you can't stop him."

It's not that big of a deal.

"Yeah, it's okay, I know. But I promised you, this is the last time."

"Oh, I'm not going to stick my neck in danger anymore."

I don't risk my life because I like it. I just want to live in peace.

"Well, when I get home, you're already mine - so I'll be yours alone, too"

"... hmm?

Oh, my God, that, no matter what you think, is more than a friend's relationship,

"I love you too, Ash. When I get home, I'll run you down with me!

Oh, wait, what's that story, I'm not listening, I'm not listening to that, but what's the flow of this story - all the questions were enthusiastically ripped off my lips by Emilia at the next moment, and my head turned white and blew away.
