Kuro no Senki (LN)

Lesson 10: The Trial of Death

What is Chrono to me? and Myra has things to think about.

To be honest, Myra didn't like Chrono.

Four years ago, Crono showed up at Crawford Mansion.

Put Claude, with a broken leg, on a strange ride.

Olt, a comrade and colleague of mine, was grateful for saving Claude, and I thought Myra could thank him if she was a little bit.

Make an acknowledgement and hand over a few gold coins.

Myra's thoughtful gratitude was such, but Orto seemed interested in Chrono.

Unlike Myra, Ort is such a man who focuses on acquiring knowledge while entering a profession of mercenary that he cannot even know tomorrow.

If he stood around cleverly, he would have gained quite a place. The reason he stayed on the southern border was because it was a place where he could practice his knowledge.

In fact, his knowledge had contributed significantly to the development of the southern border, so even Claude could not ignore his opinion.

In conclusion, Ort's hunch was neutral.

Chrono was a man from another world, proving that his possessions were true.

But Claude's benefactor, Krono is mediocre except for the fact that he came from different worlds... no, he wasn't a human being.

I can't use swordsmanship, I can't use witchcraft, I'm little fat, I don't know if it helps. You don't speak the language of the empire, you couldn't write letters. It was a cereal crush.

Besides, Chrono cried a lot. Claude gave me an archery of the sword to cry on, and I cried again in the middle of the night, and when I went to wake up in the morning, I was wetting my pillow.

There was also an inexplicable quirk of sticking a tree stick out into the sky in the middle of the field.

All I could appreciate was eating anything served without saying whether I liked it or not.

Claude, Myra and Ort agreed that if I threw it out, it was going to die a month later.

Claude and Ort agreed that they had to know if it was pioneering and throwing it out in a spare state had a bad aftertaste, making Myra the feather of growing Chrono.

And the once bad man grew into a fine male after four years.

That young man is poison to Myra, who hasn't been a man for twenty years.

With that said...... why were you sticking your stick out against the sky? and Myra opened the door.

Upon entering the room, the sights of four pairs...... Claude, Leila, Faye and Gaul are pointed.

"Is my son safe?

Yes, Myra replied briefly.

Are you okay with not wearing underwear? and keep down what Chrono was whining about.

"According to Master Krono, the level of civilization of the barbarians is that of the Jowmondi. Also, for some reason, we seem to have caught Master Chrono because the man is gone."

"What is a joemondidae?

It was Gaul who raised the question.

As Myra glanced at her, Leila stood up quietly.

"Jowmondi is a category of history, a time when mankind lived in a house with a combination of tree branches and hunted with stone-processed weapons"

"You can't imagine. How long ago was that?

"Master Chrono said 10,000 years ago."

"That's such an inferior civilization."

The look on Gaul's face is irresistible.

I guess there's something to think of because I've been sipped boiled water and grabbed by Chrono more than once.

"What about organizing a handful of elite rescue teams?

"Come on, the barbarians know all about the Aleos Mountains. I can't go that far in full season."

Myra feels convinced that Master Claude and herself would be able to help Chrono during the full season.

But we can't do it ourselves right now.

Not because I'm old.

Back then, even when we were having feelings, there is now no hatred that was burning like fire.

Claude's strength, Myra's strength, had to be, but it was the strength of the late.

That's why I was entrusted to the madness of the battlefield.

But the righteous days of cutting open native forests, plowing the earth and growing crops took away hatred and madness from Claude and Myra.

How can you surrender yourself to hatred and madness when you have something to rely on, love, and protect from your people?

"Then we'll have to mobilize all the troops on the southern border to rescue Krono."

That's the only way.

Claude nodded at Gaul's suggestion.

But...

"Unfortunately, Master Krono said he had measures to make the Barbarians compliment"

Myra spoke falsely.

"What kind of measures?

"... I don't know"

Mobilizing troops on the southern border will make it possible to rescue Krono.

But Krono said there might be room for negotiation.

If Chrono wants to negotiate, just support him as a maid, as someone who was his educator.

Silence descends.

"Evil. No, but I'm not willing to bet right now. Myra, tell your son. If you want the barbarians to be respectful, do something about it by the time we're ready."

"Yes, sir."

We must ask permission from the Imperial Capital because Gaul cannot move all the troops on the southern border arbitrarily.

As soon as permission comes down, the time given to Chrono would be about two weeks.

I can buy him a little more time if Orto, who is in the Imperial Capital, helps me, but he doesn't put the life of the next Lord at risk.

"Now, let's put it to use in Teito."

Gaul stood up and left the room.

"I'm sorry, sir"

"I'm sorry."

Layla and Faye leaned down with a sense of sadness.

If Krono wanted help, we could both challenge the Barbarians to fight alone.

"Well, don't worry. Why did you go after my son? I never had a chance to grab a man before."

"Isn't it because Master Chrono seemed weak?

When Myra answered, Claude, Layla and Faye nodded all the time saying they were convinced.

Returning to Sue's residence, Chrono took off his armor.

Take off your jacket stuffed with cloth to soothe the impact and weave a cape over your skin.

"... Curse, Will, Tongjil"

"Thanks"

Chrono raised the clay plate from his neck.

"Don't you dare, have something to do?

"Omae, solebacali...... water, pumping m"

"Understood, understood. Draw water with earthenware."

"Coco."

Sue slapped the barrel she made by shredding the stump.

If I do, and it's in season. Is that sanitary okay? Makes me think.

"Where's the water?

"Omae, child domo"

Do you want to say that you can't do anything like a child?

"Well, this is what happens at first."

……

Sue pointed her lips dissatisfied and led Chrono to the water field.

The water field was on a cliff guarding the back of the settlement.

There is a great crack in the rock, from which chorocholo and water flow.

So the woman of the Lou tribe, who was pumping water, saw Chrono, and retreated with a gnawed face.

"Omae, water, pumping m. Me, Going Home '

"Copy, copy."

Chrono flushes the gaze of the Lou women, draws water on earthenware, and returns to Sue's residence.

Repeating that several times, the barrel was full.

"Is there anything else I can do?

"Nye."

Sue binds the grass and hangs it inside the cave dwelling.

"Does Sue live alone?

"Me, Domo, no. Alone, of course. '

I don't know, but Sue seems to be considered an adult tribally.

"Me, woman, Natta. Ritual, receptive keta. Battle W, naturally '

"What ritual?

"Here."

Shining pitch black text...... engraving comes to mind.

The pitch-black light ran along the spine and stretched to entangle the chest, shoulders, upper arms and thighs.

It transmits leather, even though it is not an intense light, as to what principle.

"Adult rituals hurt, don't they?

"Time, Hang Kenai, Death Nu"

Apparently, engraving involves the risk of death, but it's well worth the risk.

At least for Chrono.

The reason is simple.

Chrono knows he is an ordinary person.

And no matter how hard I work, I realize I can't reach the realms of geniuses and heroes...... Tilia and Leonhardt, Rio, Faye, my adoptive father and Myra.

But with engraving, you might be able to step into the realm of geniuses and heroes.

It's a shallow, humble idea.

Because we renounce our efforts to be strong and try to gain strength until we use the girl who worries about the future of the clan.

I'm sure you'll regret getting that much power.

"Consumer"

When Sue declares, the glow of pitch black fades.

Chrono put his face closer to Sue's back and stroked him with his fingers.

'... Huh!

Bikun and Sue turn back.

"You can't tell."

You can't tell as much as you touched it, Krono fell asleep in the right place and looked at Sue's work.

"He said it was natural to fight... but why steal livestock?

"Theft m, no u. Battle yi. Cows, horses, dead nu. Omae and the others, sleepy. We, O Belly, One Cup '

It is true that when cattle and horses are killed, they come in the way of plowing fields and carrying luggage, but now that they have succeeded in pioneering and have been compensated for their damage by the Empire, they are really to the point of 'trouble'.

I can't deny the possibility that you're deliberately letting an old cow or horse kill you and charge you money.

Krono greatly agrees with Dr. Weisman that the cause of the defeat of the barbarians is the difference between military and supply capabilities.

War is number.

I know quality is important, but in the end, more troops, more supplies and more money are going to win.

The Lou have no chance of winning.

You may be able to win in battle, but you will never win when it comes to war.

"I'll be out in a minute."

Krono scratched his head and headed to the water field earlier.

Two women who had seen it somewhere on the water field were pumping water.

One has short hair.

Is my age about twenty years old?

My skin is just as shallow and black as Sue's, but if I stare, I have a few thin scars running.

I guess defense by engraving isn't perfect either.

The body line is smart, muscular and has cracked abs.

The eyesight feels sharp through it.

The other has long hair.

He is in his mid-twenties.

She may look older than her real age because her eyes are gentle and she has a calm atmosphere.

He has a pretty busty body and a leather belt that is hiding his chest is eating up a bit.

"What da?

……

The two of them don't wear clay plates, but the words make sense, so the curse borrowed from Sue seems to work fine.

"Haven't we met somewhere?

"Me, look, Tata. Omae, Warrel Station. Sue, half a serving. Omae, Weak I '

"... me, see ta"

"Ah, if you say so, you've met him."

The short-haired one was a red engraver who had been hit by Faye and Leila, while the long-haired one was a green engraver who had been attacked by Tiga and the Beast Man.

"What da?

"I don't mean to be particularly helpful, but I was hoping I could talk to you a little bit."

"Me, weak guy, interested nye"

……

Cui's engraver is silent, but I feel somewhat interested.

"Well, I'm weak. I can order my men to graduate from military school."

"... Gunn, Gakkow?

It came with a meal, Krono looked at the engraver of Cui, who leaned his neck wonderfully.

"Yes, military school. When the Imperial nobles are old enough, they learn to fight in schools in the Imperial capital."

"War I, Warrior, Forge Elle. Meaning, Nye '

"Are you sure?

Chrono rode himself out and told the red engraver.

"Oh, no, you're not going to deny the battle builds a warrior, are you? But if you could learn the art of fighting without bleeding, wouldn't that be great?

……

The red engraver does not answer.

"You guys learn from your parents, don't you? Well, the knowledge I've learned is what makes me flesh and blood over and over again. Still, it's a big difference between knowing and not knowing."

That's all the range of choices you can make if you gain knowledge.

That's what I've known since Chrono became a lord.

"Kizoku?"

"By aristocracy I mean... yeah, I guess it's like a chief. The greatest thing in the empire is the emperor, but you get the position of land and nobility from that greatest man. The land and position are handed down from parents to children, and from children to children."

As Chrono explains as he writes a diagram on the ground, Cui's engraver rides himself out, and the red engraver turns his face away, but turns his gaze to a flicker.

"Even so, it's not like I can do whatever I want because I'm noble."

Cui's engraver giggles as Chrono plays with his shoulders wide apart.

"I have to think of things for the people who live on my land. For example, cutting through forests, building fields, interacting with people from other lands, activating commerce."

"Hathake or Shaw Gyoo?

Cui's engraver looks strange... after all, words that are not in vocabulary, similar to the magic items of the Empire, are not interpreted... tilted his neck.

"When we say field, it's where we grow our own edible plants, and when we say commercial, does it feel like a developed version of barter?

"Yutel?

"Yeah, grow it. I don't always get to harvest the same because of all kinds of conditions involved, but I'll be able to eat relatively steadily"

Commercial, and the moment Chrono tried to open his mouth, Zdon! And the explosion went off.

The red engraver activated the engraving and stepped on the ground.

It's powerful enough to penetrate the ground to the ankle.

Chrono would be dead if attacked by a red engraver.

"... Omae, Spirit, Denial Citaire!

"I'm not denying anything."

Chrono replied as he tightened his anus, which was going to be free with fear.

"I can't really feel what a spirit is, but I know it's kept alive by all sorts of things. But it doesn't make sense that we should continue to do that because we've been doing that before."

The look of the red engraver adds to the danger, but Chrono stood on the spot. Honestly, I want to escape.

"... it's not just about being able to accept everything but it has to change"

"Omae, shut up!

The red engraver screamed as he stepped on the estate like a child.

The engraving glows strongly at the moment, and the hot air pushes against the chrono.

Oh, shit. I pissed him off with the intention of persuading him, and Chrono regretted it as much as he did now.

The red engraver reached out, but the hand did not reach Chrono.

A spear thrown by someone stuck between Chrono and the red engraver.

"... ugh!

The red engraver erased the engraving as he had returned to me and knelt on the spot.

Cui engravers also imitate red engravers.

"... noise gna"

The chief gently walked over and pulled out the spear.

Apparently, the chief threw a spear.

"Sono Man Haomaeno Prey Dehanai"

"Koitsu, Spirit, Denial Sita!

Slightly intonate, but relatively fluent in the language of the chief.

"Soledemo, code ha da. I, Lani, have harmed Bosanu, Raw Kita Prey, Ha, captured Laeta's stuff, Da."

The chief stared at Chrono and hoisted the edge of his mouth.

"Liang Ina, Sue"

"Me, the Code, the Guardian."

Sue shows up from the shadow of the chief.

Guess he sensed the swordswallowing atmosphere and went to get a chief.

The chief's hand is brilliant.

Because you don't neglect to stab a nail while you listen to Sue's wishes.

"... Back to Le"

"Okay."

Upon returning to her residence, Sue sat on the ground and began to crush herbs.

It wouldn't be my fault that the sound of the stones rubbing against each other sounds grumpy.

"... Omae, Idiot"

"I'll make it next time."

Sue pointed her lips dissatisfied when Chrono answered as she fell asleep.

"Omae, amiable kusr, utta. Lie Tsuki. Lara, Rage Laseta '

"The red engraver says Lara. And the other one?

"...... Lili"

Why, Sue's mood gets worse at an accelerating rate.

"Lara, Strong Yi. Omae, Death Nu '

"I'll try to stand around a little better."

This time it pissed me off, but it would be better than not getting me interested.

"Omae, Occasion"

"We can't have a friendly relationship until we've killed each other a little bit."

……

Sue rested her hands and stared at Chrono.

"I'll make you a meal."

……

Chrono fished yesterday's memory and took the nut powder out of the earthenware and poured water.

"Hey, is it watery?

"... Omae, Child Domo"

Sue said grumpy and added nut powder.

"Water, Less Sizzle, Into the Real"

"I see."

Chrono nodded, wondering whether to add a little water to regulate the hardness of the dough.

Biscuit fabric was thrown into the enclosure unwrought.

After a while I was able to

"Uh-huh, you burned brilliantly."

"Omae, child domo"

"Well, this is what happens at first."

Chrono chews through the burnt biscuits and pours them in with water.

Sue is pouring in the same way with water.

"Omae, Solebackari"

"Wasn't that the second time?

Krono answered Sue with dried meat.

"It's still the second morning... and I'd like you to see a little more of it"

"... minutes cutter"

Sue nodded after the silence.

The protagonists of the survival-based comics and movies I read in the world over there were having a hard time securing food.

That is because the protagonists of such stories do not have the knowledge or experience to survive.

Otherwise, I guess it lacks fun as a story, but I don't think there was anything more than two of us, that only one of us had survival knowledge and experience, Krono looked at Sue.

Sue's hunting arm was a brilliant one.

Even though the engraving technique reinforced his physical abilities, he threw a spear with great momentum and finished the deer with one shot.

What about the lack of bows and arrows? I thought so, but with the power of engraving, a spear would suffice.

When Sue scratches the deer's throat with a stone knife and drains blood, she cleaves her belly and drags her gut out in a familiar motion.

"Omae, child domo"

"Yeah, you can't do anything like a kid."

Chrono hasn't done anything.

The only attack magic, the Heavenly Prix Kagura, also hidden the appearance he had just worn... Kaiyang Corridor didn't turn up either.

Krono was convinced that if only one of them had the knowledge and experience of survival, this would happen.

It was going to take a while for Sue to cut the meat apart.

"Is that the only Lou tribe you have?

As far as Chrono can see, the total population of the Lu is a little over a hundred.

Sue is the youngest, oldest and mid thirties.

"Once upon a time, Mott, Ita"

"How long ago?

"When land, wareta... Lu tribe, large crowd, ita. Mountains, inhabitants. Lots, villages, dequitas. Cold spring, summer, come ta. Prey, Takeover Ifitta '

Apparently, the Lou clan was even arguing among themselves.

Be it not a rivalry between villages, you were definitely exposed to harsh survival competition.

Nevertheless, I wonder why the Lou tribe, who lived behind such a mountain, could have attacked at the worst time for the Empire.

They used to interact with other tribes, so maybe they had information about the Imperial civil unrest via that tribe.

With or without the mastermind, Chrono's purpose will not change dramatically.

It is to make the Lou stop fighting.

If you can't do that, let some people alone renege and create room for negotiation.

Though I feel sorry to say not for Sue, but to protect myself.

You're trying to use it to protect yourself, and Chrono stared at Sue's back.

"Can't we get another couple?

"Dietary U-Minute, Fetch"

"No, it feels like hemming. It could be a conversation."

Sue stopped her hand dismantling the deer,

"No. Me, the Code, the Guardian."

"It's the law to take only what you eat."

If you ask me, the Lou are all engravers.

If they hunt for more prey than they need to, the number of animals that become prey will be drastically reduced.

I guess it's also because of the convenient technique of engraving that the Lou civilization is at rope-era level.

It may be said that engraving has taken away the room for the development of civilization.

"... high hurdles"

Persuade by words alone.

For a moment, the word numpa passed the back of his brain, and Chrono felt his confidence rapidly lost.

"How do you dictate to someone you don't like?"

Why, I was so confident this morning, I was in the mood to ask him for an hour or so.

"Omae, meat, luck bu"

"That's about it."

Chrono carried a chunk of meat and followed Sue.

"Isn't it easier if you use engraving?

"Curse (Seriously) A, Please Risgi, Ryukunai"

Whether it's a code or just a rule for Sue, I'm lost in judgment, but I guess there's a good basis for that.

Settlement...... Back in Sue's residence it's after noon and in the afternoon it's made dried meat.

If you cut the meat, apply plenty of salt, and shade it dry for about two weeks, you're done with the dried meat.

It was easy to say by mouth and it was actually quite hard to do.

Sue did the skinning, but after the meat was cut, Chrono worked alone, so it took extra time.

When I finished hanging the cut meat in the shade, the sun was about to set.

"I'll be out in a minute."

Out of Sue's residence, walking around appropriately, the red engraver...... bowled in with Lara.

Apparently, she also carries a large chunk of meat like a hunting return.

"Retreat Ke"

"... don't we have a little talk?

"Disconnect."

She frowned uncomfortably as she blocked Lara's whereabouts as Chrono detoured and attempted to proceed.

Lara's hand flashes and a stone knife sticks down Chrono's throat.

Krono raised his hands as he felt the cold sweat transmit his spine.

"Don't you have to poke the knife?

"Me, Omae, I don't like it. Yellowfish, eyes, lili, see ta '

No, yeah, I saw it with nasty eyes. 'Cause the chest, the opium, like this, the giggle of leather is eating in, and Chrono defends himself in his heart.

I'm interested in you, too.

'... Huh!

As Chrono tried to hold his hand, Lara retreated so that she could play.

"Me, Omae, Interests Nye!

Lara yells and passes by the side of Chrono in the footsteps where she just steps through the ground.

No, no, you're in trouble if you get past here, my plan! and Chrono followed Lara.

"How many Laras?

……

"What's your favorite food?

……

"The red engraving is beautiful."

"... Ursai, Shipping Luna"

Lara wielded a stone knife as Chrono continued to speak without a glance.

The women of the settlement turn their gaze to see what is going on.

Chrono talks and Lara swings the knife angrily.

Repeating that, Krono reached Lara's residence on the edge of the settlement.

"The sunset is beautiful."

……

Lara doesn't answer.

You realize you can just get rid of Chrono temporarily even if you wield a knife, you're silently cutting the meat apart.

"At the foot of this mountain is my father's territory."

……

"There's a wheat field that's scary wide, and when the wind blows, it makes a noise like a tide and the wheat ears shake."

A year ago, you were thinking about ending your life as a mediocre lord or something, and Chrono watches the sunset.

"Whew!"

Krono leaned back reflexively in an attempt to speak to Lara.

Something passed right in front of me.

It was the branch of a tree that passed in front of Chrono.

Looking in the opposite direction to the tree branch, Sue was grumpy and staring at Chrono.

"Rice, Le"

Sue pointed her lips like she was obstinate and pulled Chrono's hand.

Arm strength not enhanced by engraving is not enough to move Chrono by itself.

"Bye."

"Uh-oh!

Waving at Lara, Sue roared in a grumpy manner, pulling the arms of Gyghui and Chrono.

Upon returning to the residence, Sue sat with her hands off and her back to Chrono.

I guess it's because Lara and I tried to get along, but Chrono tries to work out a powder of nuts with a small amount of water.

Identifying the cause is easy if you take that obvious attitude, but I don't even know if it's because Sue sees Chrono as a man or because I can't allow my prey to be dealing with others.

Cook the biscuits for two and remove the dried meat from the earthenware.

"Sue, I got it."

"... I need Lanai"

I could make it well, but I don't force Chrono to.

I finished my meal alone and fell asleep with my cape instead of my bunk.

The cape my adoptive father gave me is surprisingly useful.

Well, I guess it's only because it helps that my adoptive father used his cape a lot.

Sleep came promptly because I woke up early.

It's a shallow sleep, vague whether you're dreaming or waking up.

When Chrono stretched his body when he realized something was moving, something... Sue stopped moving like she was surprised.

Sue laid fur next to Chrono and lay on top of it.

On the third day, when the night grew white, just like the day before, Chrono was woken up by Sue.

When I took the earthenware and went to the water field, Lara and Lili were pumping water.

"Hey, good morning"

……

"Ohayo"

Lara ignores Chrono as much as she can, and Lili smiles.

"It's a beautiful day."

"Liang Yi, Weather"

Lara didn't answer, but Lili did.

I'm just worried about judging if it's social or if it has another purpose.

"What are we both doing today?

"Omae, Half Servings, O Shouri"

Turning around, not knowing what he was talking about, Sue was staring at Chrono resentfully from the shadow of a hole style residence.

"... I want to talk to you guys."

Betsy something hits the back of Chrono's head and falls to the ground.

Turning around, Sue was squeezing a tree branch and staring at Chrono.

"Huhun"

Lara put her arms together and laughed proudly to win.

I hate to be talked to Chrono, but he doesn't feel bad about Sue stripping him of his appetite for exclusivity.

Chrono focused on pumping water, saying he might be thrown stones.

Back at the residence, Sue was turning her back on Chrono and crushing the grass.

"Why, did you throw a branch of a tree?

……

Sue doesn't answer.

"If we don't get along with the Empire, the Lou will perish, won't they?

"Omae, Yattelkoto, Zhongliang Ku, No U"

……

Chrono could not argue.

You can't say it back because you're about to cut off the Lou tribe, saying you'll have a friendly relationship.

In the first place, it is difficult to say that the very idea of trying to cut it off from within is friendly.

Taking away the room for choice and then negotiating it does not constitute a fundamental solution.

"Omae, Talk, Sinai"

"Because it is"

Certainly Chrono hasn't spoken to Sue.

Because we know that the Lou are at the doomsday Seto and that Sue has to work together for the future of the tribe.

To this end, Chrono realized his mistakes.

Sue hasn't stopped thinking there, worried about the future of the tribe.

"I... you're lying"

"Me, Minutes Karanai"

Sue rested her hand crushing the grass and dropped her shoulder strength like she had been beaten.

"... child domo, raw marlenai. Warpower, Nakunal. We're doomed."

"I'm sorry, but I don't have the strength to fight the Lou."

As Chrono ruthlessly said off, Sue opened her eyes to surprise.

"You were satisfied with the attack on the livestock, but it was only a little too much damage for us."

"Omae, lie, puke itel!

Standing up, Sue screamed.

Because if we don't deny Chrono's words, we're going to admit that our battle is farce.

"Well, I think my father's generation fought desperately. My father still thinks Lou is a threat, and I don't think Lou's power is insulting either. But I'm not the one who can't win."

"... Omae"

"Unfortunately, I will have 10,000 highly skilled soldiers. My men are fewer than sixty, and this is the only way they've hunted down two Lu engravers, so you can beat them when the force difference is 100 to 1, I'm sure."

That's about all I can think of right away, like lighting the Areos Mountains, or splitting the legions in two and continuing to attack them without morning or night.

"There was self-preservation, but I think what I was trying to do was pretty much for the Lou. At least the Lou are on my side."

"Omae... Cool Guy"

"I think it's better than spitting lies. So, what do you do?

Sue was stuck in words. Crono presented a choice between perishing or only some Lou tribes could help.

"... Lara, I don't like him"

"Yeah?"

Sue leaned over and said in a bloody voice.

"Lara, half servings, Yan Wu"

Sue clenched her fist.

"Me, Lara, Death Dende Lust Sii, Swanai"

"That's Sue's choice?

When Sue activated the engraving and dragged Chrono down, she stuck a stone knife to her neck muscle.

"Sioux tribe, raw kill method, exploration! Omae, kouel!

"... I think?

A knife of stone devoured the skin, and Chrono surrendered with his hands up.

"Whether you accept it or not, I think it's a hand to escape to the Kingdom of Dorado."

"We, South, Row Kenakatta"

Would you say that you have already tried it?

"So I guess Sue just has to convince the Lou tribe? If Sue convinced me, I'd be able to protect you."

"Real Ka?

"I don't have the guts to lie in this situation. You can take it to my territory, but you have to step over first."

"Omae, Cool Guy"

"I think it's pathetic about Sue, and I sympathize with the Lou tribe's situation. But I'm not risking my life for you."

I am sincerely sympathetic to the Sue and Lou tribes.

But it's also a true feeling that I can't put my life up for Sue and the Lou.

I can risk my life for my men and my people.

Maybe then I'll be frightened, regretted, and feathery ready to cry and cry.

"Me, Persuasion Srl"

"Good luck."

"Omae, come le!

They pulled the cape, so Chrono had no choice but to follow Sue.

Naturally, it was at the chief's place that Sue went first.

"Omae, tottel!

"Can I go home?

Chrono asks, Garru! and Sue roared like a dog.

"Half Servings, O Shouri, Suitable Ttel"

"It's not an amulet."

When Sue was in the chief's tent, Lara told him to mock him for anticipating the timing.

"Sue, what, Citel?

Lili leans her neck strangely.

"Negotiating with the chief for the Lou tribe"

"... Omae, Shoshi, no. Talk, hang up, Kenainoka?

Lara said a little dissatisfied.

'... Huh!... Huh!

'Huh!... Huh!

Sue and the chief's voice echoed from behind.

"Half a serving, what, Citel?

"Talk about stopping the fight and getting along with the Empire"

Lara took the stone knife out of nowhere and pointed its tip towards Chrono.

"Omae, what, Sita?

"Nothing."

Chrono flaunted his shoulder.

"Did you pass on a little information?

"What?

"Information that the Lou no longer have the power to resist the Empire"

Lara grabbed Chrono's chest, eating and tying her teeth to withstand his anger.

Lili looked down sadly.

"We're in battle! All of it, Victor!

"I know."

The battalion led by Gaul was overwhelmed by three Lou tribes.

But that's because Gaul formed a formation and tried to intercept him from the front.

Finally, Gaul's aim is to crusade the barbarians, and the Lou's purpose is to take livestock.

Just looking there, all I can say is that Gaul was flourishing and empty.

"Was Lili aware?

"The eagles, all, the winners. You guys, Zut, Toyoka '

Was it also an opportunity to see the territory of the southern border, Lili said in a small voice as it had been beaten down.

"Lara didn't notice?

"... Gu, no"

You were noticing thinly, the force falls out of Lara's hand.

"You, Dowsle?

"I was going to use you guys to cut down the Lou tribe, because I found out. Well, expect Sue to work hard later?

Pakupak and Lara moved their mouths like fish launched ashore.

"Omae, suck! Scum! '

"No, no, I was just hoping I could use it well, not that I wasn't interested at all."

Chrono agrees with Lara's curse in his heart that it's the worst dialogue I've ever had.

"... Doosite?

"A little change of heart, huh? Oh, no, I don't think so, either. I'm not a good fighter."

Chrono answers with his thoughts together.

"I feel like killing everyone because I'm a barbarian, and I thought it would be best if I didn't have to fight."

Lara and Lili opened their eyes to surprise.

"... you, weird"

"Omae, Occasion"

As a compliment, Sue jumped out of the tent when Chrono opened his mouth.

No, it wasn't easy to pop up, it was fired horizontally like a shell.

Sue was slapped from her back and crawled on all fours like a beast to kill the momentum.

Not as hard as the cobblestone paved roads, but the tread solidified ground is also quite stiff.

Painful wounds are carved on the back and thighs and blood seeps through.

The chief gently walked out of the tent and glanced at Chrono, but immediately lost interest, looking down at Sue.

"... Chieftain, We, Wu Li, Nye"

"Dakara, surrender Siroto?

No, Sue whines small.

"Loss of fighting power, loss of child nurturing power, loss of sae, me lato, who ga friendship beg melt words Unoka. O previous no words no destination niarnoha slave da '

'... Huh!

"We ha land usurped waretaga, battle atta karakoso, slave sezni jindanoda"

The chief's words also make sense, Krono thinks.

"Understanding Sitanonaraba Drug Herb Demo Removal Line Kuga Liang Yi"

The chief turned his back on Sue and went back to his tent.

"... Me, Giving Up Menai"

Sue brutally wiped tears that were about to fall out of zero.

The chief's words make sense, too, and Chrono deposits his back in the tree.

After the period of unrest, the Empire did not carry out the crusade in full because the Lou tribe was strong.

It is even doubtful whether the Empire will respond to the current offer of friendship by the Lou tribe.

I'm just going to attack you luckily for losing your power, or even swallow up unfavourable conditions to enslave you.

I don't think it's impossible to take it to my territory, but because there's nothing I can do about the chief not believing me, Krono stared at Sue collecting herbs.

It seems like a good thing if you ignore the chief's orders, but Sue is seriously collecting herbs.

"... I wonder what it is"

"Dear Chrono, how is it going?

Myra whispers in the shade of a tree.

"No idea to cut it from the inside, I found out perfectly"

"My husband says he will cooperate with the captain of the Gaul battalion to rescue Master Chrono. In less than two weeks, the barbarians will perish. Boy!

Suddenly Myra grabbed her shoulder and Chrono tilted her neck slightly. I didn't have time to wonder what it was, and a spear pierced the tree where Chrono kept his back.

"Socomadeda! Invader no hand!

The voice of the chief echoes and the Lou warriors descend to the ground.

Each shines an engraving and holds a weapon.

"Apparently, they were swimming."

"After all, we seem to be losing our ability compared to the full season"

Is it like the level of the protagonist drops because he wasn't fighting, which is common in the RPG of a series of objects?

"Myra, can you get away?

"I thought it might be a better occasion to be prepared than to run away"

Oh, well, Chrono got up.

There are less than fifty Lu warriors.

If you hesitate here, Myra's chances of dying only increase for that matter.

"... I'll take care of this place"

"I thought it might be" Death Fugu "that Boy taught me."

"No, no, because there's no shard that's going to die!

Activate the Heavenly Pivot Kagura, the surgical ceremony scrolls at high speed and the pitch-black sphere rises a little away from Chrono's hand.

"Boy, Boy, you don't have to risk your life"

"If this isn't the time, you can't repay me, can you?

Chrono laughed as he nearly cried.

"Now, give me your word… if you were able to return safely to the mansion, I'd like you to tell me where the odd dance comes from, poking heaven with a stick of wood"

"I don't know why, if you're saying you're not going to die, flag death!

Lili flies at the same time as Myra runs.

"Let it!

The pitch-black sphere thrust like an unleashed arrow, and Lili twisted her body to flaunt it.

"Sweet!"

Chrono manipulates the sphere, tracks Lili.

The moment the pitch-black sphere touched Lili's hair, Chrono clenched his fist.

Bo! And I was going to hear that.

The pitch-black sphere has long, lifted hair… moving parts of it somewhere.

'... Huh!

Looking at the windy hair, Lili stays in the void.

"Omae, what, Sita!

"It's a space transfer. The only thing I can use... is attack magic. I don't know what the performance of engraving is, but there's no human being who can live with his head and heart wiped out"

Krono answered Sue screaming pretty far away.

"Aleja, Solejodo Count Ten!

"... normally."

Confirm the chillari and the back.

Though Myra is invisible, Chrono multiplexes Heavenly Prix Kagura, a massive surgical ceremony fills his vision, a severe headache and vomiting sensation like having his arm stuck in his brain, followed by a dripping nosebleed as well.

Sorcery cannot increase its power at the will of the sorcerer.

That's because it's designed to keep the operator from overburdening him.

Or maybe I can safely perform multiple activations of magic if I can change the procedure itself.

"Heavenly Prix...... Kagura!

A pitch-black sphere rises around Chrono.

That number is better than twenty.

Chrono confronts the Lu warriors.

To be honest, Chrono is packed at this point.

If the Lu warriors are attacked in unison, Chrono will be killed shortly after he targets them.

But the Lou don't know that.

I don't know, but I can't move off the spot because of it, and I don't know, but it increases anxiety and fear because of it.

The chief also seemed fearful and anxious about the multiple activation of magic.

It's easy to storm the warriors, but the chief is afraid the warriors will die.

The stare continues.

Five minutes, enough, it was Sue who stepped through the thin ice.

Sue put up a spear and stared at Chrono.

"Stop it, Sue. I don't want to kill you."

"Omae, lie, puke. Warpower, Hidden Citeta '

I meant it not to want to kill Sue.

But Sue didn't have the ear to listen, put up a spear and ran into Chrono.

Damn, and Chrono manipulates the pitch-black sphere while cursing something.

There are more than ten meters in between.

The pitch-black sphere kills Sue like Pyrania, rubbing through her body.

Killed people.

In the first line, in the bandit's crusade, killing both enemies and allies in the battle against the divine kingdom of Argo...... I could not decide to kill the barbarian girl I spent only a few days with.

Don! and the shock pierces your whole body.

Sue's spear pierced Chrono's right shoulder.

I don't know why, but maybe Sue hesitated, just like Chrono.

"... Omae"

Chrono extinguishes the pitch-black sphere while withstanding severe pain.

The surrounding trees fall one after the other.

Sue and the Lou warriors are safe.

"Doosite?"

No matter why you're asked, Chrono has no way of answering.

Chrono thought desperately, sweating too much of the severe pain.

I stroke Sue's cheek, her hair.

"... I don't know."

Reminds me of my adoptive father's advice not to make mistakes when trying to be mean.

"But I'm sure this is me."

Contradictions...... Everyone devours the privileges of nobility while striving for a world where everyone is treated equally, kills enemies while talking about the importance of life, commits sexual slavery while avoiding slavery, and profits from the slave trade.

With the multiple-activated reaction of witchcraft and the pain pierced by Sue's shoulder, Chrono's consciousness dimmed lightly.

The wind is ringing.

When Chrono regained consciousness in disgust, it was a stone-covered room.

No, should I say a room made of huge chunks of rock?

The word stone chamber plunders the back of Chrono's brain, but we can't be sure it's the right knowledge.

Chrono was naked in his upper body and restrained in his arms.

Leather extending from both wrists is connected to two round-tails punched into both sides of the chrono and is unlikely to move.

When I looked up, the chief was looking down at Chrono.

"Omaeha, what are you thinking, Etail?

Chrono thinks.

Though the thought was as frivolous as being intoxicated by alcohol under the influence of the multiple activations of witchcraft.

"... how the Lou people get a future"

"Sonotameni, Sue Kasitanoka?

The chief's face distorts in disgust.

"The Lou tribe... is packed. Now we can avoid imminent doom."

"Sonotameni, proudly abandoned terror? Ex-hat words eva, omae daga me lano land grab takotoga cause dehanaika! Omae, Daha, I, Lano, take the land, I, the beast, Noyouna, live a strong life, Ita! Omae, Doshite, Koni, walking mukotoga dekir. What?

Chrono had a sense of despair that was dazzlingly similar to the words of the chief.

Even with the impending annihilation, the chief does not rely on deference to the empire.

But at the same time, I was sympathetic.

Whether you know that complacency with reason is the only means of sparing doom, or hanging the pros and cons on a scale and finding the pros to be greater, emotions will not tolerate it.

The war where the drop point had been laid down from the beginning...... his men died for such things, and without knowing so, Chrono scratched to save one or more of his men.

Chrono hated the next emperor, Alfort.

At that time... Count Ernato suppressed Chrono for me.

I mean, that's the thing.

Something unreasonable pushes me like Yunxia if I live, forcing me to choose whether to let go of the present.

Even a party is asked for a cold perspective, as if it were a third party.

That's why Chrono hates the chief.

I swallowed up hatred for my men, for my people, and I wondered what you were doing.

"If you're a chief, you should swallow your anger"

That's what Chrono told the chief with the thought of spitting blood.

Hatred that even I could not control without the Earl of El Nato holding me down...... I spun the word for Sue, for the Lou tribe, understanding that.

"If you persuade the Lou tribe, everything will fit in circles! Sue said she wants the future! Even Lili understood the difference between the power of the Lou and the Empire!

"Shut up, Le!

The chief's reaction was harsh.

A flat hand of power whose vision causes halation beats Chrono's cheek.

Twice, three times, when the taste of blood filled his mouth, the chief stopped beating Chrono.

"...... Omaeniha Minutes Karmai. Peer to Peer De Food Takeover Ihe U Miserable Mesa, Raw Mareta Baccarino Son Killed Sanevana Lana Cutta Bitter Simimo...... Huh!

The chief exclaimed.

"Now Made Me La Chi Etanoha Proud Rito Hate Da!

We can't possibly understand each other.

There's no way we can understand each other, Krono clearly realized his heart was about to break.

It was too late.

The Lou hate the Empire.

Assuming that the cause of all suffering lies in the Empire, we have relied on it to survive until now.

"... I know you hate empires! Still, we have to live more!

I don't think so.

Even Chrono couldn't curb hatred.

Still, there are things I can say because I'm not a party.

"Are you going to take the future away from Sue!

"Shut up, Le!

A flat hand so intense that his consciousness was about to cut off captured Chrono's cheek.

The chief was repeatedly breathing rough in his glassy and shaky vision.

"Now, I can do something about it."

"... Shinjiralen"

With that said, the chief put his arms together to think about it.

How long would I have thought about it?

"Daga, the demise of the clan ni guide kunoha genuine dehanai. The late Ni...... Omaenija" Death No Trial "received Keteu. Omaega Raw Kiyan Vitanaraba, Omae Brothers Tomi Nashi, Shinjiyo '

"Is that... a compromise?

"Souda"

The chief turned his back on Chrono and left the stone room.

It wasn't until about an hour after the chief came back.

The chief was accompanied by Sue.

"Coreyoli," Death No Trial, "Row W"

The chief spread the leather round the barrel he had in his hand.

Inside it was something pointy, boney or stoney at the tip.

"... What's" The Trial of Death "?

"Overnight De Engraving Suisse"

"What's your survival?

"If tatta overnight de engraving shicita, nine out of ten ga pain mini ecanete resistant death nu"

It's like telling him to die, Krono said, staring at the chief.

"Dowse, death nu. Naraba Betting Kero '

"Does that mean you'll be executed if you don't take the 'death test'?

When Chrono asked, the chief had a sadistic grin.

"... if I survive this, I'll rub my chest so abusively that it'll have finger marks on it"

"Hum, please Mosiizo"

The chief clenched something like a bone and pierced its tip into the chrono.

The moment Chrono thought it wouldn't hurt,

"... ugh!

Heavy pain struck Chrono.

I can't faint or scream much of my consciousness but severe pain.

"Good Kinadake named BugaLiangyi"

The chief didn't break his grin like he said he was comfortable.

I remember reading in a comic book that whipping hurts.

Even if I can't lie down too much of a severe pain, or sleep.

I've seen whipping footage on the video site, but the sight of a red and black line running every time the whip was wielded was too painful.

Maybe Chrono is the only Japanese who can empathize with a whipped sinner right now.

"Hung, Etaka Resistant"

Chrono repeated his shallow breath.

I guess that's not the end of the 'Trial of Death' to see from the chief's words.

Chrono repeatedly breathes shallow.

Only slightly moved, just breathed heavily, and the intense pain that just drove me crazy annoyed Chrono.

As a matter of fact, I even thought about chewing off my tongue and killing myself, but Chrono could stand the pain of applying the engraving.

"Sue, take care of Citeyare. Tadashi, water t meal dakeda. Pain Miwa Ragel Youna Maneha Xu Sun '

……

Leaving Sue, the chief left the stone room.

……

Sue doesn't talk. I couldn't even afford to talk to Chrono.

Chrono thought it would be fun to endure the severe pain of "The Trial of Death".

Because I heard that humans gain immunity and resilience by maintaining positive emotions, but within less than an hour they were frustrated.

I couldn't think of anything fun to do in such extreme circumstances.

Instead it was anger and hatred that dominated Chrono's heart.

At first he hated the Lou tribe, then the chiefs, Lara and Lili, Sue... and even his adoptive father, Myra, Tyga, Faye, Snow and Leila, who were supposed to be guiding him through Chrono.

I was angry at everything and hated everything.

Why can't you help me when I'm seeing you like this?

I took care of it, and you couldn't even come and help me.

Rebellion.

Chrono didn't think it was a shameful idea.

It was all about not helping me for Chrono, and everything about not helping myself was the object of anger and hatred.

Chrono kept spinning the curse.

It wasn't until my normal perception finally came back that the severe pain was relieved and I was able to sleep even though it was shallow.

He devoured his sleep so much that he had a headache, and Chrono was annoyed by regret.

It was the regret of rambling Sue, who would take care of her in a worthy way, and the regret of spinning a curse on those who were still supposed to be worried.

As soon as he ran out of room, Chrono was beaten by his shallowness spinning a curse to his mistresses.

"... Day Six"

"You got something?

Ouch, but I can manage to talk calmly now.

"" Death No Trial, "half, six days, raw kill. Day Seven, Engraving, Erosion, Initial Male '

Erosion? and Chrono stares at the engraving that should be carved into his body.

When I stare, I don't even feel like the line is running thin.

"Drinking Me"

"Painkillers?

"Poison. Death Nu, Bitter Shimanai"

It's the black pills that Sue put on the ground.

"No, 'cause one in ten can survive, right?

"Word, reason, loss. Raw Terdake. Human, Word Wanai '

Chrono was frightened.

The chief had no intention of helping Chrono.

Severe enough pain for my personality to disappear, I didn't think I could stand such a thing.

"Initial Matta. Me, too bad '

"Hey, not yet, I don't want to die! Whatever you want to do, even if you don't want to, live... Huh!

The engraving emitted a glow of pitch-black.

The engraving instantly grew thick and took sober thought away from Chrono.

Will it be similar when the anesthesia runs out?

I didn't feel any pain when the anesthesia was working, but as soon as I cut my nerves, the pain ran like a direct blow to my brain.

Chrono chooses meat, pulls and chops a string that restrains him without the mind of a broken arm bone, and reaches for the poison.

My thoughts were blowing up somewhere that I didn't want to die.

I just thought it would be good if I could get out of this pain.

Chrono grabbed the poison with his broken arm and chewed it up.

Die.

Come on, come on, I want to die as fast as a minute, as fast as a second.

Fu and Sue got eyes on each other.

Calm thoughts return only for a moment.

Past the back of Chrono's brain in that moment was the figure of the people we'd met before.

Chrono spit out the crushed poison, sticking his finger in the back of his throat and vomiting.

Chrono slaps his head on the stone room floor, aggravated by severe pain, severe pain, and so much pain that he hopes to die from himself.

"Omae, poison, drink!

Sue makes the engraving shine and pushes a new poison, but now it's time Chrono resisted.

"I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it! I don't like dying!

Chrono shouted as he drooled his piss.

No matter how unusual, no matter how dirty, I wanted to live.

I didn't want to die.

"Leo, Horus! I am!"

Chrono shouted as he slapped his head against the stone room floor.

"Lizad!"

The black engraving glowed strongly, and Chrono grabbed the necklace reflexively.

The sky was abominably clear that day.

Due to Chrono's sacrifice, Claude did not reprimand the surviving Myra.

I'm just ready to fight with horrible skill.

In just eight days, the southern border... gathered half of the forces possessed by the new nobility.

Gaul also scratched more than four thousand Imperial troops on the southern border in an act of transcendence and knowledge…

It was self-blame for coloring Gaul's face.

I repeatedly fought in vain to make myself meritorious, putting Chrono's life at risk.

Chrono's men were terribly quiet.

That's not because I'm scared, or because I'm anxious.

They are ready to die.

Troops are less than four thousand and five hundred, maybe we can win, but rescue will be difficult.

……

Claude, hardened by his full-season gear, was so agitated with chills.

"The barbarians are here!

Who was the first one to scream? Soldiers move together and prepare for the barbarians.

"We are carrying Master Chrono!

It was four barbarians who went through the woods.

They were carrying chrono with a combination of wood and leather.

The two remaining...... one was a woman who covered her lower body with leather as long as a skirt and the other was a girl who was with Chrono.

The barbarians placed Chrono away from the army.

"Master Chrono!

Leila was the first to rush out, and Claude was the next.

Faye, followed by Snow, Myra ran over to Chrono on guard.

Chrono was thinly dirty.

The smell of sweat like I could, my pants were stained, my forehead cracked and my dead leaf-colored blood stained my face.

"Oh, whoa!

Claude hugged Chrono and cried.

No longer is that the figure of a man called a slayer (Slater).

Old, he was the figure of a father who had lost only one son.

"My, my son, how dare you!

At the same time Claude pulls out the sword, Leila, Faye, Snow sets up the weapon.

Quietly Myra pulled out her dagger and waited for the moment when Claude was slashed.

"... hold on, hold on"

Claude dropped his sword and looked back at the voice he heard from behind, to the voice he thought he would never hear again.

"Did you live, did you live?"

Claude wept and hugged Chrono.

"Dad, will you let me stand?

Chrono stood up with Claude's shoulder, inviting him toward the barbarians.

At the invitation were two barbarians who hadn't carried Chrono.

"Put your weapons away."

"... ok"

Chrono ordered Leila to bow down. Though I was able to squeeze it at all times.

"Chief, it's a promise."

"Hum, kuhodo chest rub mudataka with finger marks ga?

"Of course, I'll make you protect that one, but the other one"

Feeling reluctantly, the barbarian...... the woman called the chief stared at the soldier.

"Listen Ke! Invader no descendant domo!

The scene and the surroundings calm down.

"We, Lu Nation Ha Brothers Chrononono Words Received Ke Jin Le, Imperial Togo Ni Bao Mu Road Choice Nda! Koleja defeated Dehanai! Kyoshun mo, slave mosinai! Koni Raw Kill Road Exploration Sulda Keno Talk Da!

Hung, snorted grumpy, and the chief stared at Chrono.

"Correderian Inodarow? My compatriot Yo."

"I feel like I sold the fight for nothing, and the problems are piling up... but I can't believe it, the fight is over"

The chief turned back his heel and stopped his feet.

"Sue, Chrono Ex Ni Row Ke"

……

The girl, called Sue, silently walked over to Chrono and stopped in a slightly remote position, smelling.

"What about that heart?

"Sue daughter-in-law Niyal. Izure, Sugazi Pregnant Mi, Tribal No Wisdom Received Ke Successor Gaseldarow. (a) In the near future, pure Naru tribe Guynaknattemo...... we ha residual Renoda. When Sono, Omae Daha Defeats Sul '

It's a huge invasion plan.

"My wife, she says."

"First Lady Nisilotoha Word One. Ciccari pregnancy macero. I have no daughter. Please, Ndazo."

"I said something sassy awesome!

Huhun, snorted joyfully, and the chief went back to the woods.

"Now it's over."

Chrono exhaled and passed out as he did.

"... now you're missing my money from the Empire"

"Yes, thanks to Master Chrono"

Myra smiled as she stared at Chrono, who could drool her head without force.

Four years ago, no man who showed up before Myra did what no one could.

Myra looked up at the sky.

The sky was abominably clear and gave a sense of the advent of a new era.
