Kuro no Senki (LN)

Theon smiled and handed the man some soup and bread.

The man was a vagrant.

I guess I haven't eaten in days.

The man's throat moves up and down.

I want to eat fast.

It seemed to convey that feeling.

Theon wasn't going to blame the man for starting a meal on the spot.

Humans can afford to start and be courteous.

But Theon's predictions were betrayed.

The man prioritized gratitude over satisfying hunger.

The man drowned his head deeply.

"Thank you, Cleric"

"No, because I am only following the teachings of the Mother God who makes loess and conducts abundance."

The man looked at Scion wonderfully, but quickly left Scion.

Theon accidentally remembered when he was cooking out with a hashel.

Hachelle's vagabonds dressed thinly dirty, but although the vagabonds of the Holy Argo kingdom wear only tedious clothes, the smell is not so great.

It smells a little sweaty.

Theon questioned, but the mystery was quickly solved.

The Kingdom of Holy Argo is rich in water.

There are several wells in this city of Karina, as well as a lake if you walk a little.

It's not hard to keep your body and clothes clean.

Still, if you're dressed in a thin, dirty outfit, it's probably because you want to keep others away.

There were other questions.

The vagabonds call Zion the priest "Dear," and when they say that Zion follows the teachings of "Mother God, who makes loess and conducts abundance," they look strange.

The clergy of the "Temple of the Loess" shall have as his mission the propagation of knowledge and technology of farming.

That is to serve the purpose of sharing the grace of the earth with more people.

As part of this, we are cooking up the Loess Temple.

The line of vagabonds broke, and Zion looked next door.

Then, the Blue Knight...... I got eyes on General Aqua.

General Aqua had a soft grin.

I feel like my surroundings are suddenly brighter.

That was the laugh.

"Good luck"

"No, because this is what I do"

The presence of Aqua stimulated the inferiority of Scion.

General Aqua works for the country, but Zion works for the money.

Chrono promised me that even if Zion didn't cooperate, he wouldn't reduce his donations or the budget of the Poverty Relief Hospital.

But Theon was anxious.

If the donation is reduced, Granet and Plum will be moved to another location.

If they cut the budget for the Poverty Salvation Hospital, they would lay off the staff.

It leaves the users of the Sanctuary lost on the streets.

Disappointed by everyone.

That's all I had to avoid.

Theon stole a flickering look at General Aqua.

I think he's a beautiful person.

He must be a very capable man because he's a general.

How did you become a soldier?

Don't you regret being a soldier?

Do you feel you have made the right choice?

Words like that come up to my throat.

Ignis, I need your help.

"My job is to oversee the cookout."

When General Aqua pointed his lips in dissatisfaction, General Ignis replied with a musty look.

"Well, General Ignis is here to help."

"You lit the firewood, didn't you?

General Aqua told me to tear it up.

As Zion was preparing to cook out, he realized that there was no firestone.

I checked many times, but they forgot to put it in.

General Ignis lit the firewood without saying anything as Theon searched for a firestone in tears.

"I can't believe you lit firewood with Kamikaze. They're gonna complain about the Temple guys again, right? What do you think of the power of God?"

"Let him who wants to say it."

Wherever General Ignis blows the wind, even if General Aqua emphasises the 'again' part.

"The Temple" admonishes against the use of divine authority for lightening.

This commandment is easily loosened when donations are piled, but the use of kamikaze for lightness is seen as lacking awe.

"I haven't done anything embarrassing. It is more wrong to condemn the use of divine authority for the sake of a hungry people"

General Ignis said without leaving it slight.

General Ignis like that looked big in Zion once and twice.

No, maybe I should say I was reminded of my shortness.

Theon felt he had to be a cleric from an early age.

I may have been able to consult with my mother if she had lived, but I had returned to the earth before Zion was mindful.

Apparently it was an epidemic.

My father was pleased when he found out that Zion could use divine authority, when he decided to become a cleric.

And my father sent Scion to the Empire with pleasure.

Theon studied farming and theology in the temple of Imperial Capital.

I felt uncomfortable there.

The cleric apprentice boy and girl were like normal children.

I think the girls in particular preferred to talk to each other than to think about God.

Theon encouraged me to study by trying not to get involved with such girls as much as possible, but I felt like those girls enjoyed life more than Theon.

The thought is getting stronger and stronger now that we have lost our divine authority.

I may have gone the wrong way, and Theon sighed small.

Didn't I think of becoming a cleric because I didn't want to disappoint my father?

I might clash with my father if I wanted a way of life other than a cleric.

Fearing the possibility, didn't it just flow to the easier ones?

Nowhere is my will.

If there is, it's just a weakness trying to avoid 'pain'.

So I wonder if 'Mother God, who makes loess and conducts abundance,' has devoted his love to Zion so much that he can no longer help me?

Maybe it's time to think about a way of life other than clergy.

But Zion noticed himself not carrying the 'strength' to abandon faith, and exhaled a great deal of sigh.

Mr. Scion is still in trouble mode today, and Krono looked at Scion from the second floor of the inn.

Theon is sighing with a dark look.

There was an incident where no firestone was found, but the cookout was a success.

Speaking of greed, I wanted to cook it out in a little bigger city.

Krono and the others are in a city called Karina.

The city of Karina is north of Ignis territory, where it's a big city.

Even so, it is larger and developing than the city where Ignis' mansion is located.

There is not a single inn in the city where Ignis' mansion is located, but there are two inns in the city of Karina.

The number of floaters who came to cook out is more than ten.

It's a smaller number than Chrono expected, but if we keep working in the tunnels, the number should increase.

Maybe the poor can take it in, too.

"Chrono, let me gather the information. Do I look promising?

"Well, that sounds like I'm skipping."

Chrono looked back and looked at the entrance to the room.

Then Rio was leaning against the wall.

Rio today wears hemp trousers and a loose jacket, not military uniforms.

The collar of the jacket opens wide and the clavicle is exposed.

"What was Chrono doing?

"I was carving a version."

Chrono took the wooden version he had placed on his desk and stuck it out to Rio.

On one side of the edition there is a posing night ranger and on the other there is a sculpture of a cleric sitting on someone who looks like a king.

"Night Ranger is surrounded by O, the other one says X"

"You can understand this even if you can't read the letters, right? All you have to do is print, paint, and sprinkle. No, you had a hard time carving O and X."

Wouldn't it be a good idea to write about O and X after they've been printed? and Chrono noticed during the sculpture, but now that it's done too, it's a good memory.

"Did you have to carve it here? And you brought the prints from the realm."

"I brought the first one from the territory, and the second one from this one."

The first prints are made by Dwarf artisans, so they are very well made.

There are two patterns: what sits on a king with a cleric crawling on all fours and what a giant cleric eats civilians with a spoon.

"Sometimes, I wonder, Chrono is so talented."

"Well, that's about it"

For once, Chrono has almost completed his compulsory education program.

I can do preliminary workmanship, cooking, and sewing.

That said, I don't feel bad about being praised.

"How was Rio?

"The Night Ranger was pretty much on the subject. It's like General Ignis is hiding his face and fighting the subhumans."

Rio glanced lightly at his shoulder.

I'm sorry about Ignis, but if the folks don't realize who Red Knight is, I'm in trouble.

"Apparently, the information I gathered is no different from Lord Rio's."

That's what I said, Leonhardt came into the room.

The noise of dotadota sounded from downstairs, and Leonhardt exhaled small as he would tell him to do it.

And walked away from the door to give way.

"Master Chrono! It's tough!

Faye slipped sideways and passed in front of the door.

"It's tough! Master Chrono!

Faye almost slipped across again this time, but grabbed the longitudinal frame of the door and stopped.

Faye is unarmed today.

It's not military uniforms you're wearing, it's skirts.

"Faye's skirt looks fresh."

"Oh yeah?

Faye scratched her head in the light.

Looks a little happy.

"Don't be sooo restless."

Faye picked her skirt and twisted her body.

"No, you look great. I'd love to see Faye's dress."

"Mmm, I want to be of service to Master Chrono as one knight."

Faye seems less than full of words and backbone.

Chrono made a firm vow to tailor a dress for Fay if he had the chance to attend the ball.

"Is the report good?

"It is! Dear Chrono, it's hard!

Faye apparently remembered an errand with Rio's penetration, saying the same dialogue he had when he came into the room.

"What?

"It's a fake!

Chrono did not understand Fay's too terminal report and inquired.

"Of what?

"It's a Night Ranger fake!

"Expand early!

Chrono didn't think, he screamed.

The three of them, Leonhardt, Rio and Fay, didn't seem to understand why Chrono screamed.

Fake appearances aren't just squad stuff, they're stories you see for special photos and cartoons, but they're episodes that should be broadcast in the middle of the show.

What is a fake appearance even though the Night Rangers have finally just got their members together.

"What are you going to do?

"Of course, I'll smash it!

Chrono bit his teeth, wondering if it was on his back that he was hiding his face.

If you pretend to be a night ranger and you can do whatever you want, the operation could be frustrating.

"Faye, show me around!

"Okay, sir!

"Lord Leonhardt is ready too!

Chrono thrust into Leonhardt stroking his jaw as he thought.

"Hmm, I feel like I've been able to read the next development."

Leonhardt exhaled to sigh.

"Dear Chrono, it's a fake!

……

Chrono was a pocan in the city square guided by Fay.

Rio and Leonhardt are smiling bitterly.

A wooden stage was set in the city square.

Quite a few people gather in the square.

Apparently, it's a travel artist's business.

"Master Chrono, are you going to smash it?

"No, that's, hey"

Faye put up his fist.

Are you appealing to the inner fighting spirit, Faye is waving his lowered left arm like a pendulum.

"It's a fake, isn't it?

"We'll see how it goes a little later."

All right, sir.

Faye lowered her fist like she said reluctantly.

When Chrono saw the stage, six actors stood on stage.

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

Red Knight rose his name high in the center of the stage, waving his fist up.

"Knight of the Water, Blue Night!

"Knight of Light! White Night!"

"The Dark Knight! Dark Knight!"

"Knight of the Wind! Green Night!"

"The priest of the earth! Yellow Priest!"

The other five named Red Knight after Red Knight, posing around Red Knight and Blue Knight.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! and a loud friend raised her voice of joy.

It is an easy reaction to understand.

Every night ranger on stage is a woman.

Moreover, the skin tone rate is high.

The chest is an elongated cloth and the lower body is covered with paleo.

You understand! and Chrono fought.

An elongated cloth was eating into my chest.

He was eating it.

"Don't do it! You guys!"

"Ah, evil woman executive!

Chrono shivered to much shock.

The enemy woman was wearing a crown reminiscent of a bull horn.

But it is not the crown that deserves attention.

The woman in the enemy role was a bikini armor.

Besides, he's the owner of the boobs.

My chest swayed.

When you stand around hard, your chest shakes.

"You are complaining!

"Ma, wait, fee-yi!

Chrono grabbed Fei's wrist and tried to pull it off, but was pulled over by Zulu and Fei.

Faye stopped his leg about a few meters ahead.

"That's a fake, isn't it?

"Let me see it to the end."

Krono pleaded with Faye.

"Oh, does Chrono prefer big breasts?

"I like small breasts, too, I like them"

I like it? and Rio had a tender grin.

My lips are shaping my grin, but my eyes aren't laughing.

"Lord Leonhardt! Lord Leonhardt knows how I feel, right?

He's back at the inn.

Chrono looked around, but with one word from Rio, he was cut off hope.

Leonhardt's suspicions seem appalling.

After all, are you saying the man you have is different?

"Nightblade!"

Red Knight pulled out his sword and was slashed by an evil woman executive.

Ha, and evil woman executives grin furiously and intercept Red Knight.

"Well, that's fascinating."

I shrugged like Rio was impressed.

Red Knight and Evil Woman executives were playing a flashy killing line on stage.

"We look more fake."

Chrono had no choice but to acknowledge the defeat of the main night ranger.

If a fake night ranger is entertainment, the main house night ranger is a scholarship.

The only thing winning is the realism and special effects of the enemy role.

But why, it's a night ranger? and Chrono tilted his neck.

Night Rangers have just begun their activities and are not well known.

I don't see why a traveler who can play this many fascinating killing squads chooses a night ranger.

In the future, Chrono and the others will act with confidence… we should see whose orders they are moving.

"Rio, Faye, let's move the place a little bit"

Chrono moved to the corner of the square and succumbed in the right place.

Rio and Fey also imitate Chrono.

"What's wrong with you?

"I'm going to make a night raid."

When Chrono answered, Rio and Fey silenced.

"Chrono, what you just said is different, right?

"When they call it a night raid, it's a dong pull."

Faye's words are spicy.

"I just want to see why you puked the night ranger. I think we may collect information in the tunnels..."

"But?"

Rio tilted his neck wonderfully.

"Information is not necessarily correct"

When Chrono assured him, Rio laughed with pleasure.

Rio Cairon helplessly prefers the negative side of man.

"I don't even think you can honestly ask me questions and answer them. So I want to set up a night raid and question you in an overwhelmingly dominant situation."

"Dear Chrono, what if you couldn't take the back?

"I'm not gonna do anything about it?

Mm-hmm, and Faye stared at Chrono half-eyed.

"Master Chrono, I'm sorry I didn't do anything. If you can't get the back, Mr. Chrono is the criminal who attacked the sleeping quarters of the travelers, right?

"Faye, thank you for your insignificant self-preservation dialogue. Hopefully, I'd have heard a knightly word."

When Chrono uttered sarcasm, Faye looked up at the void as he contemplated.

"Dear Chrono, that is a crime! As a knight, don't overlook Master Chrono's attempts to step off the road!

"My ear hurts!

Chrono held his ear to knightly honesty.

"So, what are you gonna do?

"That's where Master Chrono roots his specialty. If you root first, accidentally attacking a good traveler is no problem."

"Black! Besides, he's not like a knight!

I may not blame you, but Faye's remarks were a big problem.

"Seriously, you are the knight of Master Chrono, right?

"Damn, you're right."

Faye was a knight of Chrono in the sense that he was familiar with how to do Chrono.

When Chrono returned to the inn, he took root.

I wanted to raid one of the travelers to find out why I puked the night ranger, so I asked Ignis to keep his head down and let the lord through.

Evidence, Ignis looked disgusted.

I even pounded my tongue.

But Chrono's hour-long persuasion worked, and Ignis lifted his heavy hips.

Don't expect it, Ignis left to head to the Lords' Hall.

After a while, Ignis looked sinister when he returned from the Lords' Hall.

Did they fail to negotiate and even say they didn't like it? And Chrono thought, but it wasn't.

Negotiations were successful and Ignis returned to souvenirs with information on the traveler.

Ignis said the lord was happy to respond to requests for cooperation.

That's not all, they gave me information about the traveler.

Chrono left Scion and Aqua in the inn and flew out into the city at night.

The Chronos are lost in the shade and head to the inn where one of the travellers stays.

"It's time to get in a good mood."

"I'm not angry."

Ignis replied in a frustrating tone.

Maybe Ignis thought the Lords would refuse to cooperate.

But the lord cooperated with me pleasantly.

Of course, I didn't think to cooperate with Ignis out of good intentions.

The Lord's purpose is to maintain the trade route.

If you go through Ignis territory, you can get salt and spices far cheaper than when you were on the East and West streets.

I would pay for some convenience.

Well, maybe that's not funny to Ignis.

"... here"

Chrono looked up at the building and checked the signs.

"Hey, what about the operation?

"This place is obvious, let's hide."

Chrono stepped into an alley between the inn and the adjacent building and stopped at the right place.

"Well, I'll explain the operation."

Chrono looked over at everyone's faces and said in a small voice.

"It is me and General Ignis, Lord Leonhardt, who enter. On the count of three, I'll throw this in, so Rio and Faye need a backup."

"What's that?

Ignis gave an astonishing look as Chrono removed about a thumbnail jewel from his hip porch.

When I say gem, it's not worth a lot.

"This is the Stangrenade, a magic item that produces flashes and explosions. Temporarily deprives and disables the enemy of vision and hearing."

That should be it, Krono added in his mind.

Stangrenade is a prototype, and you don't know how effective it is.

"Throw in one, two, three, so Rio doesn't leak sound from the room, Faye doesn't leak light"

"Sounds like a tough time."

"Okay, sir!

We were both reliable ~, and when Chrono nodded, we heard the sound of kacha from above.

Chrono raised his face reflexively and his eyes met with the Evil Woman executive.

An evil woman executive opened the armor door.

"Three!"

"Chrono!

"One or two is missing!

As Chrono threw the stun grenade against the window, an evil woman executive flipped herself.

Shortly after, Stangrenade jumped inside the room.

"" God!

The voices of Rio and Faye overlap.

Stangrenade should be working, but there is no light and no explosion.

"Go in!"

Chrono activated the engraving.

The pitch-black light colors Chrono's body like barbarian warfare makeup.

Engraving takes Chrono's physical abilities to the limit.

Chrono hoisted his mouth corner to his tentative initial omnipotence, but his tentative initial omnipotence soon disappeared.

You can only use it for a short time because your body breaks, and even if you pay that much risk, it doesn't extend to real things like Faye.

Chrono alternately kicked the inn and the adjacent building walls and ran up to the window.

Finally, he kicks the wall hard and jumps into the room through an open window.

I wonder if it was too powerful, Chrono looked over at the room and sweated cold.

Fake night rangers and evil women executives had fallen.

Everybody, it doesn't even work with Pickle.

I don't know what to do, Chrono went off and looked up at the ceiling.

At that time, an evil woman executive rose up like a spring trick toy, flashing her arms.

Silver light passes in front of Chrono's eyes.

The identity of Silver Light is a dagger in the hands of an evil woman executive.

The dagger was not a gift of training, but because he kept his distance from the fake night rangers.

Can you disable it successfully? and Chrono put up his fist, listening to the sound of a gibberish, a gibberish, echoing from the inside of his body.

Lord Chrono, wait.

Chrono relieved Leonhardt of his voice and solved the setup.

It would be the presence of Leonhardt and Ignis that evil women executives did not attack.

Chrono turned his gaze to Leonhardt and Ignis while alerting the Evil Woman executive.

"... you're from the Empire, aren't you?

Leonhardt pointed out, the evil woman executive knelt.

Without having to stare so much, Chrono leaned against the wall and strayed his gaze from the fake night rangers and evil women executives.

They all stare at Chrono with the same eyes that they see their parents' revenge.

Lord Leonhardt is a bad man, too.

If I had known, I would have told you, and Chrono put his arms together.

As Leonhardt pointed out, fake night rangers and evil women executives...... all involved, were people from the Kepheus Empire.

However, it does not belong to the institution of the Empire, it is one of the travellers with nobility in patrons.

They receive funding from nobles, who play plays plays accompanying themes requested by them and make them listen to what they hear on their journeys.

In short, they are responsible for gathering information and manipulating it.

I don't care what you think, the patron's nobles are from the military bureau or a similar department, but they also understand the area.

Let me tell them, even with the back, the back shield of the nobility seems to be appreciated.

"But why, are you a night ranger?

……

When Chrono inquired, the fake night ranger and the evil woman executive turned away pussy.

Apparently, Chrono has the stun grenade thrown in his roots.

"Can you answer that?

"Yes, Master Leonhardt"

Evil Woman Executives...... Apparently not only the actor, but also the sitter...... replied with a cat stroke.

"I mean, we're about to gather information, too, okay?

"I don't know! I just wanted to say, I don't want to be caught in the eye by The Temple, so it feels like I've chosen a subject that I think I can escape?

Heh, and the Evil Woman executive re-sitting chairman stared at Chrono as impressed.

He said he wasn't stupid, but he looked stupid.

"General Ignis, what do we do?

"Why are you asking me?

"No, well, somehow"

Chrono was questioned by Ignis and answered vaguely.

Ignis must know they're operatives from what he's done, but he doesn't seem to intend to end it.

Well, he's an operative who talks to a pepper about himself.

Actually, it could be a good operative, but Ignis probably thought he should use it more than kill it.

"What do you think?

"I don't know how effective it is, but it might help raise the profile of the Night Ranger, and I was wondering if you could continue your business."

Ignis stared at fake night rangers and evil women executives.

Fake night rangers and evil women executives shook their bodies as if they were barely pressured by Ignis' power.

"I respect your opinion."

"Is it good?

"That's what you said, isn't it?

Yes, but Chrono caged his mouth.

"Well, okay. I'd like to link you to our activities, so I'll give you the script. Then I'd like to talk to the screenwriter."

The next day, Chrono stared at the stage from afar, teething.

The stage was as exciting as it was yesterday.

No, the audience is larger than yesterday.

The addition of comedy elements captured a new audience.

The comedy element is a supporting character.

The appearance is a faithful reproduction of the illustration, a flair I said barrel with hands and feet.

I can't tell you how cute my face is in the barrel, but for some reason, my right eye is X.

This supporting character has a guessy personality for his communal appearance.

Stoking evil women executives and trying to assault their bedtime.

"If you have this magic item, get it in Ichikoro"

The barrel wields its arms.

But the barrel fell out of balance and began to roll with a gobble.

As it was, the barrel exited the stage.

"So, geez!"

Shortly after I heard a voice soliciting pity, the roar rang.

For some reason, I'm a fool to the audience.

"... Son of a bitch"

"Master Chrono, that's a play, isn't it?

"That's right, Chrono"

Faye and Rio slapped Chrono on the shoulder.

Words are carefree, but we're both desperately laughing.

"It's a play, but I feel tremendous malice! I can't believe you used my name for that guessy support character. It's a level of harassment!

Yes, the name of the supporting character is' Chrono '.

Chrono crooked his teeth.

He didn't ask for a copyright fee, and he was avenged for offering the script.

There are two or three cursing words.

"Play, play"

"I'm busy over here."

"Rio, Faye, let go! I'm sorry I didn't say a word to those women!

Rio and Fey took Chrono's arm and started walking.

Chrono resisted with all his might, but the speed of Rio and Fey remained the same at all.
