Kuro no Senki (LN)

Compared to Japan, it's easier to spend, but what's hot is hot - and Chrono looked up at the sun in a fed up mood.

The Kepheus Empire and the Holy Argo Kingdom have lower humidity compared to Japan, and can take cooling if put in the shade of a tree.

I want to cool down, but I'm working, and Chrono's headed to the cafeteria and tavern to gather information today.

Chrono entered the dining room and tavern through the open door and sat in his designated seat...... at the counter.

Welcome ~ "

"To Texto"

Chrono ordered from Millet and looked over at the dining room and tavern.

The dining room and tavern were crowded.

Will the seats be filled eighty percent?

It is not the inhabitants of the city who sit, but the merchants who come to buy salt and spices.

Even though it's quite crowded, the counter seats are vacant because the merchants care about Chrono.

Most importantly, the merchants are concerned about Ignis' relatives, not Chrono personally.

A month has passed since Chrono came to the Kingdom of Holy Argo.

The distribution of east-west streets seems to have declined due to the activity of separate teams.

It is unclear how much damage has been done, but the price of salt and spices seems to have soared in some territories or the distribution of salt has stopped.

Aridead, Deneb, aren't you trying too hard? and Chrono became anxious, but according to Elaine, the price hike for salt and spices and the distribution of salt stopped because overreacted merchants reluctantly sold or bought up salt and spices.

I know some people instigated it, but what does the economy care about being vulnerable - and Chrono had that sentiment.

I had a feeling about the person who incited it, but you should dare ignore it.

With that said, I think I heard something similar to this somewhere, and Chrono poked his cheek wand and inadvertently remembered a history class...... toilet paper commotion.

Toilet Paper Disturbance is a case in which rumors arose that toilet paper would run out in 1973 and people panicked ran to buy toilet paper stash.

Toilet paper disturbances are caused by anxiety psychology, but merchants coming to Ignis territory to buy salt and spices may also be an indication of their desire to ease anxiety by securing new trading routes.

"I see."

"Huh? What?

"No, about this one"

Weird, Mirei muttered small, placing a plate on the counter.

It's not warm soup, it's hot soup.

Salt and gas are impeccable.

"How's the economy?

"As you can see, business flourishes"

Mirei smiled.

He doesn't seem very happy, he smiles weakly.

Chrono carried a thousand slices of bread into his mouth and sipped the soup.

"Is something wrong?

"Look, things have changed, so I feel a little confused"

Millet stroked a bracelet knitted in thread.

Since the merchant began to come to the city, the cafeteria and liquor store began to weigh in on daytime sales.

Chrono reflected on the shallowness of his thoughts, anxious that the situation would change even though he didn't know anything.

In my own territory, I asked someone I could trust to root for me, and I deliberately circulated information.

"Millet, I just want you to talk about this."

"Huh?"

When Chrono rode himself out and said, Mirei asked back like he was confused.

"Promise me?

"I promise."

Miley nodded with a serious face.

If you think calmly, you'll know that you won't reveal the information that needs to be kept secret in public, but Miley suddenly doesn't seem to be working his head off.

"... Ignis, my little father is trying to strengthen his influence."

"Influence."

Mirei swallowed gokuri and saliva.

"Why?"

"Yeah, Ignis, your little father..."

Chrono punctuates words and looks around.

It's an appeal to be vigilant.

"It's like little Ignis thinks it's not a good idea that 'Temple' has too much influence. I'm trying to develop a deal for that."

Mirei leans her neck because she didn't understand.

"Look, Ignis, if Little Father set up a place to trade, not only would you make money, but you'd have a stake in a merchant, wouldn't you? Anyway, if it's irrelevant, we'll work together if it's relevant."

"Does that matter to us, too?

"Of course."

Chrono strained his chest.

"If the merchant comes, he'll make money in the dining room and the liquor store, and maybe he can rent an empty room and get a place to stay. That's not all. Young Master Ignis is also thinking about spending money for the people."

"Yes, it was."

Mirei seemed distracted by the magnitude of the story, but there was no colour for the accusations against Ignis.

This will be thanks to Ignis laying down good governance.

"Because it's our only secret."

Yeah, and Mirei nodded small.

Well, even if Miley keeps her mouth shut, the merchants will say so.

Because transactions that are not influenced by the Temple will benefit merchants as well.

Chrono, who finished his meal, headed outside the city.

When Chrono left the city, there was a tent lined up there.

It's the wholesale market that Elaine made happen.

The deal's already closed and all we have to do is clear the tent.

Chrono was impressed with Elaine's arms, which made the wholesale market a reality in just one month.

After all, I guess it was Mr. Elaine's fault that the price of salt and spices soared or stopped circulating - and I thought so.

Krono took a peek at "Sinner Trade Union Reference Store".

Elaine rounded her back and sat in a crude chair.

"How's the economy?

"Pretty much. Damn, I thought I could monopolize some more profits."

Elaine complains about the merchant's lightness in his footwork.

Shortly before the wholesale market, merchants arrived from Count Cad's territory.

"You must have been spreading information, right?

"Did you say hello around?

Elaine cramped her cheeks.

This kid, that's what you might call it.

"Even if I shut up, I found out soon enough."

"I know, I know."

Elaine told me to throw up.

The Sinner Trade Union has been noted by its peers.

"At least they could have waited until our business was on track, couldn't they? Even you're taking risks."

"It's the fate of the pioneer."

"Normal pioneers don't have rivals standing right behind them."

Elaine sighed and shook her neck to the side with a tricky trick.

Ignis has been exempt from the wholesale market participation fee for ten years, but it is a slight advantage.

"... Dear Elaine"

I heard a bell-ringing voice coming from outside the tent.

As Chrono turned around, a woman in a travel dress stood outside the tent.

Will a woman's age be lower than Elaine's?

I tie my brown hair up beautifully.

The body line is smart.

Not flashy, but quite beautiful.

The expression is just subtle.

Shall I call it a majestic expression?

You look sleepy if you say you look sleepy, and you look grumpy if you say you look grumpy.

If they say it sounds fun, it doesn't even look fun.

"Dear Elaine, is this all the load?

"... Cyana"

Elaine called the woman's name and sighed.

A loaded carriage lined up behind a woman called Siana.

"I ask with curiosity, what are you loaded with?

"It's wool. Sheep hair raised in the Kingdom of Holy Argo is of good quality and traded at high prices in the group of free urban states"

Ciana explained pale.

If you transport it from Ignis territory to the group of free city states via the territory of Chrono, there will be no traffic tax, so it's a borough of money.

"Mr. Elaine, Mr. Elaine Sinner? Earlier, I thought the economy said quite a bit?

"Oh, I just said that."

Elaine said without looking bad.

Chills crawled up his spine, and Chrono turned reflexively.

Then Cyana was tilting her little neck and watching Chrono.

Krono retreated without distracting himself from Siana and hid behind Elaine.

"What's wrong?

"I have a bad feeling."

Chrono felt something ominous in the light that dwelt in Cyana's eyes.

How shall we cook this fish? Cyana was looking at Chrono with that eye.

"Siana, you can go now."

"Okay."

As Elaine said, Siana nodded small and rode in the carriage.

Cyana's carriage of carriages advances and the other carriages follow.

Chrono put his face out of the tent to make sure Cyana was far enough away and stroked her chest down with a ho.

"After all, if you dive through the dead line many times, will your senses be polished?

"Even if you can detect danger, it doesn't mean you can handle it."

"So is that."

Chrono said, Elaine leaked a sneak laugh.

"What kind of person are you?

"I'm sorry, but I don't have a hobby for exposing my hand tags."

I know you're a combat personnel, but you're just gonna make me think you might have that kind of hand tag, and you're gonna be out of control.

Krono scratched his neck, saying there wasn't necessarily one combat personnel.

"What about you?

"Sounds like a lot of people are anxious about a sudden change. I think it relieves some anxiety because I've been circulating a little information."

"I don't trust you."

"My duties are military and lord."

Both with the help of their subordinates, at the level they manage to serve, Krono added in his mind.

"Now the operation goes to the next step"

"Also, the dimension?

"Now we'll also cook it out"

Muhu, and Chrono exhaled from his nose.

We've been rooting for the perimeter and cooking in the surrounding territory.

Well, it was Ignis who actually did the rooting.

"At this point, we're going to end up building General Ignis's faction."

……

Chrono did not answer Elaine's question and smiled.

"Yes, yes, excuse me today. Oh?"

When Chrono entered Ignis' room on the third floor of the mansion, he had a visitor.

She is a woman with a blue chamber lowered from her shoulder.

Is he the same height as Chrono or is he a little low?

The exit is out, and the pull in is pulling in.

It's in a sharp shape.

Dark brown hair is as short as a boy's, with horizontal hair bouncing inward.

I'm wearing a military uniform, so my Ignis colleague...... no, is it a little more intimate?

Because Ignis, who always seems grumpy, has a soft look on his face.

The woman was watching Chrono.

Crazy, I thought Chrono.

Anyway, Chrono is in the middle of a top-secret mission.

Not a single thing is good for military personnel to remember their faces.

Chrono took a step, two steps and retreated, and when he got out of the room, he hid himself in the wall.

However, the only thing I've hidden is my right half.

"You always seem grumpy when you're with me, Jer, Jerassie!

"... what are you doing"

Ignis covered his face with his left hand and exhaled.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Chrono and I am a relative of General Ignis!

Chrono quickly packed the distance and squeezed the woman's hand.

The woman gave a bewildered look and glanced at Ignis.

"Ignis, when did you get more relatives?

"No! I'm a distant relative, and I've learned recently that General Ignis is a relative!

Chrono expected Ignis to cover him and told him to roll it up.

I would delude Ignis if he covered for me.

"This is the reinforcement from the Kepheus Empire."

"Don't take the ladder off all of a sudden!

"Calm down."

Ignis hand-controlled the chrono he tried to pack.

"Introduce. She is Aqua Alphard. One of the six generals, on the life of King Magnus… unofficially, was to cooperate"

"Nice to meet you. I've heard rumors."

That's what I said, woman...... Aqua smiled.

"What does it have to do with" The Goddess Who Leads Life in the Pale "?

"Exactly. Aqua is a man of divine authority."

Hmm, Chrono nodded.

"Is there another Terra of the Earth, the Wentus of the Wind?

"What's wrong with that?

Nothing, and Chrono hoisted the corner of his mouth.

"If you have something to say, make it clear"

"Ignis, stop it. It's your bad habit to get hot soon."

When Aqua was embarrassed, Ignis followed him reluctantly.

Lord Chrono, it's an honor to meet you.

"Honored?"

"Yes, because I was interested in you."

Aqua bowed shyly.

Chrono felt strangely cold.

"It's an honor to be me. I had no idea that the use of the divine art of" Goddess of Heaven and Lord of Life "would show up so soon"

When Chrono laughed niggly, Aqua retreated.

"Aqua, run!

"Huh? Huh?

Chrono blocked the baffling Aqua exit.

Well, it's also likely that Chrono will be kicked in the ass with a blow by Aqua.

"You're the Blue Knight!

Chrono is Zubishi! and pointed to Aqua.

Aqua doesn't seem to understand what it means, it's pocan.

"Blue Night?

"Let's explain! Blue Knight is part of the Night Ranger. By the way, Night Ranger is the six knights under the protection of the six-pillar God. The aim is to cross the boundaries of the 'Temple' and carry out vigilante activities!

Aqua turned his gaze to Ignis.

Is this girl okay? That's what I said.

"Night Ranger, go! before...... how about rooting?

Ignis gave a grumpy look and gently slapped a bunch of parchment paper on his desk.

"Well, that went well."

"How do you know?

"No, because General Ignis seemed grumpy, the lords around him must have given a good reply ~"

Ignis was still going to tongue.

"As soon as I know it's in my interest, this is it."

"Ignis, don't say that."

"Even so. I'm more dazzled by the immediate benefits than by the future disadvantages. That's what ordinary people are like."

When Aqua and Chrono said, Ignis looked increasingly sinister.

Chrono also knows how Ignis feels, but also how the lord who offered to cooperate feels.

Even the lord has something to protect.

Even the 'Temple' is flattering if you need it for that.

Instead, people like Ignis are a minority.

"I don't think this deal is on track, and I think it's a big deal."

"I know that"

Ignis said nothing more.

"So again...... Night Ranger out!

When Chrono screamed, Ignis exhaled a deep sigh.

"GO! GO! Night Star Ranger '

Lyrics and Composition Chrono

It's Earth's pinch! GO! GO! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Ehun, Ehun!

The village was under threat.

Three sub-men… Minotaurs and two werewolves have appeared, demanding gold and food.

Of course, the villagers resisted the weapon in their hands.

Because if they take away their money and their food, they'll either die or they'll have to become slaves.

But the villagers couldn't get one scratch on the sub.

Naturally, it was a natural consequence.

There are countless hurdles to overcome in order to fight.

It's a mistake to think you can fight with a weapon in your hand.

The weapons rolled out by the villagers cut off the sky, and the attack of the sub-people crawled the villagers to the ground.

No, I guess it was as powerful as a little poke if I tried being subhuman.

In fact, not a single one of them was seriously injured.

The sub-people are being modest.

That's as good as you want.

The fact broke the villagers' hearts easily.

the villagers are stacking food in the middle of the village. At that time,

"That's it!

The woman's voice echoed.

"Ko, this voice! '(Buba ~!)

"Parenthood, on the roof! '(ugh!

"He's here! '(ugh!

Two werewolves pointed ahead... there was a woman on the roof.

The woman was dressed in a pitch-black costume and covered half her face with a mask.

"Yes, Dark Knight! Get out of my way again! '(Buba ~!)

"Night Rangers appear when innocent people are suffering! Tovo!"

Woman...... Dark Knight stepped down to the ground with a brilliant leap.

"Does that mean Dark Knight is here? '(Buba ~?)

"Exactly!

As Dark Knight shouted, a man and a woman dressed in red, blue, white, green and yellow costumes rushed over to Dark Knight.

"I am the knight of fire! Red Night!"

Red Knight raised his name in a self-abandoning mood, poking his left arm up.

Shh, and the red light rises from Red Knight.

"I am the Knight of Light! White Night!"

"Knight of the Wind! Green Night!"

"The priest of the earth! Yellow Priest!"

White Knight, Green Knight and Yellow Priest are named one after the other, Red Knight and the other...... posing around a woman in a blue costume.

I'm wearing a blue costume, so I guess it's something blue, but the woman in the blue costume leans shy.

"Who is he?" '(Buba ~!)

"I... of water... t"

The woman in the blue costume said in a mosquito-like voice.

Ahhh, and Green Night keeps saying after all.

"Don't think."

"Good luck."

"It's a fight"

"Uh-huh."

When Red Knight, White Knight and Dark Knight encouraged, the woman in blue costume groaned with a bright red face.

I think I'm gonna cry now.

A small stone flew under the feet of a woman in a blue costume.

The woman in the blue costume raised her face haha and stared into the shadow of the building.

"I am! That, of water...... t"

The woman in the blue costume raised her voice, but it didn't last long either.

By the time I finished my name, I was back to my mosquito-like voice.

"Parenthood, knight of water! '(ugh!

"Blue Knight, I'm telling you! '(ugh!

"What? No! Blue Night! '(Buba ~!)

The villagers fought.

Subhuman...... Especially since the Beast Man supposedly has excellent hearing and smell, but the two werewolves heard such a small voice.

"Oh, yes, it is"

Blue Knight looked up happy and posed.

This is posing me really embarrassed again.

"Do it! '(Buba ~!)

"'E!' '((ha!

Two werewolves followed Minotaur's orders and were attacked by Dark Knight.

"Nightbred, it is!

When Dark Knight pulled out his sword, he cut it off with two werewolves.

The two werewolves showed a brilliant combination, but Dark Knight was better at one or two.

The two werewolves were slashed and laid down by the Dark Knight.

Although there is no blood.

"Nightblades are a non-lethal weapon! For God's protective reasons… slaughter doesn't kill you! RECEAD! Are you ready for Night Bazooka!

When the Dark Knight turned around, the other five were responsible for Gotegote and the likes of the decorated Marutai.

"Night Bazooka, Shoot!

"It's too soon!

The red, blue, white and green light was emitted from the Round Tai with the Red Knight cry.

"Gu-ha-ha! '(Buba ~!)

When the light struck directly, red, white, green, blue, dark, yellow... Six colors of light blew out of Minotaur's body.

When Minotaur fell to the ground, the two werewolves stood up as if nothing had happened.

"Parenthood!" (ha!

"You guys, I remember! '(ugh!

The two werewolves took charge of the Minotaur, and went out of the village with pleasure.

Chrono welcomed his deputy back to the boxcarriage, Shilo and Hylo with a smile.

"No, they were all great acts! Especially since the followup to Shilo and Hyiro was great!

"We did our best."

"The play, it didn't stop" (but)

Shilo and Hyiro are bragging about their chests and waving their tails.

After a while, Ignis and the others came back.

Ignis is not as grumpy as he was in the beginning, but it seems that Aqua is finally walking with Ignis' shoulder.

"After all, it seemed right to incorporate a sword trident"

"Night Bazooka will take a while to prepare."

Leonhardt nods contentedly and Rio flaunts his shoulders.

"Hmm, I wanted you to wait for me to go back. It's a failure."

"But it was a great sword trident. I fell in love."

"Oh yeah?

Faye was dissatisfied, but had a full grin at Zion's compliments.

"... Mr. Aqua"

"Yes."

"Wait, Aqua's tired."

Chrono ignores Ignis' words and is royal in front of Aqua.

"You have to give me a proper name. I'm in trouble. Shilo and Hylo followed me this time, but if you can't do it properly, I'll drop you off as Blue Knight."

"Huh?"

Can I quit? and Aqua looks a little happy.

"Instead, I'll have you play the role of an evil woman executive."

"Woman, executive?

"Exactly!

Chrono took the script and poked a page of settings at Aqua.

It's not very picturesque, so it's a simple illustration.

"Hih!

"Bikini Armor! It's very popular with big friends with increased exposure!

Hiya! Chrono laughed.

"You're so embarrassed to death. Oh, please! Next, I'll do it right next time!

Aqua looked pale and stuck to Chrono.

"This, you geez."

"Thank you, my best compliment"

Ignis looked at the illustration of the female executive and vomited evil, but Chrono strained his chest.

"Lord Chrono, this is..."

"You didn't make a body of armor."

Leonhardt feels pulled, Rio seems to think it's none of his business, he said in an easy-going tone.

"… not possible"

Faye compared her breasts to the illustrations of a female executive, squeaking bossly.

Theon is leaning shy.

"Well, it looks like you understand the penalty, so let's go to the next village"

"Wait."

Chrono was summoned by Ignis and tongued.

He is a man who flushed sarcastically but is quite sharp.

"Penalties mean we... guys too?

"Ignis, I was crazy!

"It'll matter, this kind of thing!

Ignis said back to Aqua, who glanced at him with amazement.

"What do you think?

"This is it for the men"

Chrono opened the script and poked a page of settings at Ignis.

"... barrels?

Looks like a barrel.

"Very colorful, though."

The men...... Ignis, Leonhardt and Rio muttered, looking at the illustrations.

The paper depicts an illustration of hands and feet in a barrel.

"Dear Chrono, what is this?

"It's a supporting character. When the men are demoted, they will play this character. The name is' Rock 'and the end of the story is' Guess'."

The battle ran between the men.

"Come on, let's do our best in the next village"

Chrono hoisted the corner of his mouth.
