Kuro no Senki (LN)

August 432 of the Imperial Calendar...... Because of the early mornings, the sunlight pouring down on the Marquis Mansion was weak.

"Chrono, I can't help but miss you"

"I miss you too, Rio."

Chrono gently hugged Rio and stroked his back to soften the child.

I ran scared unexpectedly.

When Chrono looked behind him over his shoulder, Tilia was benevolent.

It's going to hit me now.

"Chrono, can I kiss you?

"You've decided no!

Tilia lightly rode Rio's provocation and came under attack.

You expected it, Rio let Chrono go and put his hands together with Tilia like a professional wrestler.

"I didn't know you would challenge me by comparison of power!

"It's good to think it's understated compared to the power."

The white light rises from Tilia and the green light rises from Rio.

Krono stepped away from the two, poking his wand.

"Morning!

Chrono turned around and shouted.

Tilia had been cornered to the brink of defeat while Chrono was keeping a slight eye out.

I'm going to poke my knee now.

"Grunt! Come on, me!

"See, good luck with that."

When Tilia screamed to inspire herself, Rio told her to scold Tilia.

Apparently, the only thing Tyria beats Rio is sturdiness and perseverance.

Hi, don't let your head bob, Chrono sat in the crate and shook his head gently.

"Stop fighting, both of you."

Leonhardt enters arbitration.

When Leonhardt touched Tilia and Rio's wrist, Tilia and Rio honestly untied their hands.

Chrono was lost in judgment as to whether Leonhardt's virtue or his use of special moves.

"Do we really have to go back?

"It's more than ten months off for a boulder."

Leonhardt told me to be embarrassed when Rio said uncluttered.

Whether Rio, who has rested so far, is awesome or Prime Minister Alcor, who has left him alone, this is also where I get lost in judgment.

Rio rode the horse as he had noticed.

Leonhardt rides horses too.

"Lord Chrono! See you soon!

"Empress Tilia, I asked for Chrono."

Chrono waved to Leonhardt and Rio, who left in a refreshing manner.

"Gutsy, once again, once again! Hey, what are you, uh, trying to make room for the last one!

"Tilia's the same."

Chrono looked sideways at Tilia in front of him.

Tilia sincerely regrets losing to Rio so many times.

You're done, Chrono looked up at the sky.

That also means that the work against the Kingdom of Holy Argo has been completed, and that the remainder of the heart has been dissolved.

"Well, work job"

Chrono stood up and tilted his neck.

Something soft is touching Chrono's face.

Chrono grabbed something soft.

"Ko, this is Tilia's breast! Why, Tilia's breasts!

"Because you fell in!

As Chrono raised his face, Tilia tilted her neck wonderfully.

Tilia put her hand flat on Chrono's forehead.

"Tilia's hand was so cold?

"You're hot! Somebody... yeah, get out of the way!

Tilia held up Chrono.

"Tilia, powerful"

"Shut the fuck up!

Tilia ran out holding Chrono.

Tilia opened the bedroom door and threw Chrono into bed.

Yeah, Tilia has so much arm power, but she loses to Rio, and Chrono thought about that, wrapped in a floating sensation.

Chrono fell into bed and looked up at the ceiling.

It goes around as glued as when the world drinks too much.

"I'm gonna get a doctor, so you're gonna stay put, okay?

"Uh-huh."

The door closes with a baton.

Chrono took off his clothes and dived into bed.

Bed makeup was perfect even though it hadn't been an hour since Chrono left the bedroom.

"It's been a long time since you've caught a cold. It's been about six years since you've come to this world, because you've never caught a cold?

I thought I was smart, but Chrono laughed powerlessly.

"It's been six years. How are you all doing?"

Chrono thought of his family, not his classmates.

It's not like I didn't have any friends, but I don't think I had any friends I could call close.

I also think it has become more pronounced since I started attending further education school.

"Must have filed a search petition with the police, handed out billas, or been featured on TV."

Suddenly, Chrono's vision seeped in.

The back of the eye is paralyzed.

There were tears.

Chrono held the pillow tight and closed his eyes firmly.

How long have you been asleep?

Chrono rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand.

Then the crisp sensation came through the back of my hand.

It's an eyeball.

Apparently, he's been asleep for quite a while.

Does it feel like my consciousness was hazy? and Chrono moved.

A few times, I remember waking up.

I just don't feel like I slept well because of my repeated sleep and awakening.

I even feel like I haven't slept enough.

It's not just a sense of time, it's vague memories.

I feel like someone was there when I woke up, and I feel like no one was there.

I remember going to the bathroom, but I don't think I remember correctly.

My spine hurts, and Chrono hit a turnaround.

At the next moment, the white light stimulated the eyeball.

Chrono opened his eyes thinly.

Someone was near the bed.

It's Alyssa.

Alyssa was sitting in the chair.

The identity of the white light is a magic item for lighting placed under Alyssa's feet.

The light is quite weak compared to the magic items I usually use.

"Sir, have I woken you up?

"I just woke up."

Alyssa stood up and put her hand on Chrono's forehead.

Her hands were colder than Tilia's.

"... you think someone with cold hands is the owner of a kind heart"

"My hands are not cold, my husband is hot"

"Something, feel like your mother?

"I am the mother of one child."

Alyssa frowned like she was in trouble.

"Sir, what will you do with your meal?

"Water"

Chrono said, Alyssa offered a sucking mouth.

Alyssa trembled slightly as Chrono overlapped her own it in Alyssa's hand.

Apparently, Alyssa doesn't like being touched by others.

Chrono looks up at Alyssa and rehydrates.

The bitterness spreads in your mouth.

I guess the contents of the suction mouth are fried herbs.

Alyssa is an excellent maid, but she looks like she's drawing a line against a man.

Should I say that I am trying to avoid being seen as a woman?

I don't even know how Alyssa feels.

Chrono knows what happened to Alyssa, and he doesn't want her to change her mind.

That's what the usual Chrono thinks.

When Chrono let go of his hand, Alyssa exhaled as if relieved.

Chrono grabbed Alyssa's hand trying to get out of bed.

"... Huh!

The sucking mouth fell out of Alyssa's hand.

"Yes, sir, have fun."

Alyssa glanced down.

"Avoid primary contact, Alyssa said. Are you afraid to make contact with people?

"I'm not scared"

Chrono slowly took his hands off Alyssa.

"Don't you miss me?

"I have a daughter"

"The distance now is the distance Alyssa won't have to scratch?

Alyssa breathed haphazardly and smiled deceptively.

"Sir, I don't know what my husband is talking about."

"Do you know the term palm seal dilemma?

Alyssa tilted her neck like she didn't know why.

"The Yamaa seal! Discover the best distance you can get warm without hurting each other, or not? Like it, hate it, who said it at the beginning? Delivery, my telepathy!

"Sir, please go to sleep now"

Yes, and Chrono nodded.

"Guuuuuuuu!"

"Hey, what is it!

When Chrono turned back, Cecily rose from the chair.

Chrono touched his body with a gut and trembling.

The assassin stabbed me in the stomach.

But there were no scratches.

I repeated my rough breath and finally realized I was dreaming.

"What do you think, Sarasa?

"This, I dreamed"

Huh? and Cecily replied carelessly.

"I was Arab royalty in my dreams."

"I don't know where 'Alabu' is, but so?

"Stabbed by an assassin"

Cecily sat in the chair without saying anything.

Son of a bitch, and Chrono shrugged in his heart and looked up at the ceiling.

It was night when I talked to Alyssa, but it's morning now.

Consciousness, compared to last night, is solid.

"With that said, is cavalry work good?

"You say that?

Cecily said in a grumpy manner.

Chrono fished his memory as he looked up at the ceiling.

I feel like I put Cecily back in the maid if you ask me.

Cecily sighed small.

"... although I don't like you"

"Do you need that forethought?

"I hate you, but I don't think you're wrong."

Cecily said with a gorgeous thru of Chrono's penetration.

"Interpretation, I am surrogate. It's not a problem for a man who quit his army to sit there with a big face, or to bother Mr. Verna or anyone else."

Cecily scratched up her hair and said in a stubborn tone.

"Why are you looking at me?

"No, it doesn't sound like Cecily's word."

You can't bother the others.

It's a word I can't even imagine from Cecily when she was in the military or when she started working as a maid.

"Is this also the fruit of my discipline?"

"No, you're not!

Cecily said upside down Willow Eyebrow.

Of course, even Chrono doesn't think he played a part in Cecily's personality formation.

It was Verna who had a great influence on Cecily's personality formation.

Cecily developed a compassionate mind for others while being followed by Verna, who was younger than herself.

Well, how about as a person that I couldn't develop the feeling of caring for others until I was this age? I think so.

But Cecily, who was a bad person in a different direction from Neat, grew up as a human being.

You should be happy about that.

"... I'll sleep a little more"

"Yeah, I get it."

The next time Chrono woke up, the room was dim.

Alyssa was sitting near the bed just like last night.

"... sir"

"I want to take a bath"

Chrono stays asleep in bed and picks his bedtime clothes.

The bedding was soaking wet with sweat.

It stinks a little.

"Please do not bathe in the water"

"Well, just wipe your body...... I want a new bedding too"

When Chrono urged, Alyssa put her hand on her lips as she contemplated.

"Okay. We'll have some water in a minute."

"... Regards"

Did I say all I could? and Chrono dropped off Alyssa walking out of the room, reflecting only a little.

After a while, Alyssa brought a washer and a ceramic pitcher.

Alyssa pours water into the washer and squeezes the cloth.

"Sir, please."

"Thanks"

Chrono took off his bedtime clothes and wiped his face and body.

"Alyssa, wipe your back"

"Yes, sir"

As Chrono turned his back, Alyssa reluctantly began to wipe Chrono's back.

Alyssa is silent.

"Done"

"Okay."

Chrono dresses up in his new bedding and goes back to bed.

Alyssa carefully folded the bedding that Chrono had undressed and left the room with a washer and pitcher.

Alyssa came right back.

Maybe Alyssa leaves it to the maid on the night shift to handle bedtime dressing and such.

Alyssa sat on the chair and leaned down.

"Alyssa, how's Cecily?

"... Dear Cecily,"

"Isn't it good to call it off?

"Cecily is running out of insurance and building a good relationship with other maids compared to when she started working as a maid"

Alyssa stole a look at Chrono to say she didn't understand the intent of the question.

"Actually, consult me from Verna"

Yes, and Alyssa nodded.

Verna's boss is Alyssa, so it's a little awkward to get consulted over the head.

"Verna wants to go to the army."

"Is it the military?

"I just can't seem to resist teaching you how to study."

Oh, and Alyssa just nodded that she had a point.

Verna is the type of person who tries to get through.

"I think Verna's presence is huge that Cecily maintains a good relationship with the other maids, right? So I was wondering if it would be okay without Verna."

……

Alyssa covered her mouth with her hands to contemplate.

As much as I think about it, I guess Alyssa's worried about leaving Cecily alone, too.

"Even if Cecily says she's worried, you don't think it's the same thing that keeps Verna with Cecily."

"Is your husband good?

"Honestly, I don't want you to go to the army."

Chrono strokes his right eye.

If you become a soldier, you may die, or you may find it more painful than death.

"I persuaded you. The displaced are good, and I can't? and was pushed off."

"My husband is a lord."

"That's right."

Chrono squeaked smudgingly.

It lacks fairness as a lord that children of displaced people who accept them go to the army and Verna doesn't.

"So I'd like to put Cecily under Alyssa until Verna comes back as a fine soldier"

"Okay."

Alyssa responded instantly.

Chrono was relieved that Alyssa accepted the proposal and stroked her chest down.

"... my husband is"

Alyssa muttered potpourrily as Chrono closed her eyes to sleep.

I looked up at Alyssa.

"Sorry"

"I don't mind."

Yes, and Alyssa nodded small.

"Your husband is worried about Mr. Cecily, isn't he?

"Mm-hmm. Well, quite."

"Even though they're doing all that terrible stuff?

Alyssa, are you peeking? and Chrono nearly penetrated.

Well, Chrono has only done terrible things to Cecily, as Alyssa pointed out.

Hitcher! I'm your maid of service! and Chrono is serving Cecily.

Only for your service.

I can't stand that disobedient sight.

"You're doing terrible things, but you're not thinking about dying or being unhappy. I want Cecily to get along with the other maids."

Chrono was kicked by Cecily, but he doesn't hate Cecily from the bottom of his heart.

"Question from me too. If you're not afraid to make contact with people, what do you hate?

"I don't want to hate others"

Alyssa answered quietly.

"I think your husband knows my past."

"to the extent of rumors"

Hashel is a small city.

Rumors get in my ear even if Chrono doesn't try to find out.

"What rumors did they hear?

"As much as Alyssa was my predecessor... the mistress of the former Marquis Elakis?

Maybe Alison, Alyssa's daughter, is the daughter of the former Marquis Elakis.

When we met, it wouldn't have anything to do with Alyssa being ill was the mistress of the former Marquis Elakis.

"My previous husband wasn't just terrible. It was terrible, but it was memorable."

……

Chrono stared silently at Alyssa.

The former Marquis Elakis bewitched Alyssa and drove her ill Alyssa out of the mansion.

That would be the objective fact.

"There must have been a small happiness, but I think I denied it even in poverty"

……

Chrono didn't say anything.

Normally, if someone betrays you, you hate them.

Deny even the memories and emotions you have with that other person.

But Alyssa finds it harder to deny her memories than to be betrayed.

"Alyssa's a punitive girl."

"I think it's better than hurting someone"

"Right."

Chrono smiled.

"I don't hate that."

"Thank you"

Alyssa drowned her head small.

"Rather, I might like"

"Su, ki?

Alyssa shrugged back at the parrot because she couldn't understand the meaning of the word or because it was an unexpected word.

"... Huh!

Alyssa leaned bright red to her ears.

"Sir, you're playing too much"

"Yeah, it's still, like, high fever"

When Chrono put his hand on his forehead, Alyssa stroked her chest down as if she was relieved.

"It's not a joke, though."

Chrono closed his eyes unsure of Alyssa's reaction.

When Chrono woke up, it was morning.

Heavy head, tired.

The fever doesn't seem to be dropping yet.

Is it the time of the shift, I'm not in the room except for Chrono?

As Chrono looked up at the ceiling, the door opened.

"Oh, did I wake you?

'Cause I just woke up.

Immediately after the general sat in the chair, Chrono's belly rang Gürl ~.

Chrono hasn't spoken anything but moisture for the last two days.

"I just got here."

The general flaunted her shoulders just saying she had no choice.

"Do you have a request?

"... it's rice porridge and I'm glad you turned it into egg porridge"

Chrono almost answered with miso soup, but he was delighted.

I don't even have miso to make miso soup.

Finally, there is no soy sauce.

"I'll make it right, I'll wait for you"

"Ha ~ i"

The general walked out of the room with her arms around her, but she didn't quite come back.

Shall I go to bed twice? And when Chrono thought, the general came back with a tray.

Chrono scratched Wallace on the bed and received a tray from the general.

Chrono scratched the egg porridge with a spoon.

Because of the heat, I don't know the taste very well.

Still, I thought Chrono was delicious.

"No, did you do something to Alyssa?

"... bu"

Chrono held his mouth,

"Buppy!"

I blew porridge out of my nose vigorously.

"Damn, what are you doing!

The general stood up and put a cloth on Chrono's mouth.

Chrono took the cloth and snapped his nose with a buffet.

Thank you, Admiral.

"So, what did you do?

Chrono leaned over and grew sloppy and sweaty.

"Uh, what's wrong with Mr. Alyssa?

"Looks like you got your hands on it."

The general held down her eyebrows and shook her head just saying no treatment.

"No, I didn't let you out. Bad listening."

"Now what are we going to do about it?"

The general struck her tongue.

Hi, the general seems to think Chrono is lying.

Moreover, the general is uncomfortable that Chrono lied more than he did to Alyssa.

"I see what the general thinks of me. Now, in response to the request of the Admiral, I will now put my hands on Alyssa."

"Wait a minute. Are you sure you haven't got your hands on this?

"That's what I said from the beginning."

Uh-huh, the general roared.

Did you say suspicion nine or credit one for the light in your gaze?

Not trusted at all, Krono covered his face.

"But you didn't really do anything?

I said, "You might like it."

The general chopped Bishi and Chrono's head.

"I didn't do anything! I'm sorry I doubted you. I almost reflected on you!

"I didn't do anything, so reflect!

"Ha! I mean, I don't even dictate that I didn't do anything!

Chrono was overwhelmed by the general and caged in his mouth.

If you ask me, maybe so.

I mean, it usually is.

"Ha! I did a hell of a thing because of the fever!

"You really have a good personality."

The general said frightened.

"No, not a good personality, really because of the fever"

"Well, that doesn't mean it's the same as usual."

"No, no, I don't usually think I'm going to get my hands on Alyssa. But last night I had a normal judgment..."

Oh, and the general sighed.

"You didn't mean to get your hands on me at first, either, did you? When I was there, you know, I just cut it out of here."

And the general put her arms together, and dyed her cheeks to the vermilion, and said.

"You don't always have normal judgment skills when it comes to women."

"That's what I say, but I say... Ugh, I can't say it back"

Chrono tried to argue, but if you remember carefully, normal judgment skills will only work at the beginning.

"When this happens"

"What if this happens?

As Chrono clenched her fist, the general rode herself out.

"You will die along the course of this! Huhahaha! If you can't fall either way, it won't work anyway!

"I'm not gonna stop you."

"Oh, excuse me. I'm in good shape."

Chrono was plunged into the lady general and regained only a little calm.

"What do we do?

Chrono was on his way, but Alyssa didn't show up that night.

The next day, Chrono returned to work.

Even if I say I'm back, it doesn't mean I can do my burly job right away.

I had to take over work from Tilia and get a report from the sitter to understand the current situation.

"Ugh, I'm tired"

Chrono stretched lightly and slammed against his desk.

Usually, Alyssa serves cold incense tea here.

"After all, I guess I'm avoided"

Chrono scratched his head.

I don't expect Alyssa to quit her job.

No, I'm sure Alyssa won't quit her job for Alison.

I wish I could break it off if you would do the job... and Chrono sighed.

Unfortunately, I'm not so sure I'll break it off.

What am I gonna do? and when Chrono looked up at the ceiling, the door was slammed reluctantly.

Sir, excuse me.

"Oh, yeah."

Alyssa slowly approached.

The general said Alyssa was boisterous, but as far as Chrono can tell, Alyssa is no different than usual.

Alyssa placed the cup on her desk and Chrono reached for the cup in a hurry.

Chrono's fingertips touch Alyssa.

"... Huh!

Alyssa pulled her hand as if she had touched a hot object, and the cup fell on its clap.

"Hey, Alyssa!

"Also, sorry!

Incense tea spreads.

The paperwork is safe because I had a paragraph of work to do.

Chrono stroked down his chest in a ho and looked at Alyssa.

Chrono and Alyssa's eyes meet.

Alyssa was getting herself started.

Alyssa turned bright red to her ears and turned away.

"Forgive me, sir."

Alyssa, didn't you do this on purpose? and Chrono swallowed the words.

"... Alyssa"

"Sir."

When Chrono touched her shoulder, Alyssa moistened her eyes like she was cut.

Chrono thought desperately that Alyssa's misunderstanding had to be managed.

At that time, a proposal came to mind.

If I don't have the right judgment, why don't you leave it to Alyssa? And Chrono thought.

That seemed like a great idea.

I felt something was wrong, but those who are drowning don't think about what's ahead.

"Alyssa, I'm not thinking about getting my hands on Alyssa from myself. You know what I mean, right? And then Alyssa and Cecily changed to my maid of honor."

"... Yes, sir"

As Chrono smiled and said, Alyssa nodded.

For some reason, Alyssa was bright red to her ears.

Alyssa puts her undressed, scattered bedding and underwear in a laundry cage.

Ever since I became a maid of honor with chrono, it's Alyssa's job to clean Chrono's room.

Alyssa has to do her maid leader's job as well, so there's no reason to be sure of Chrono.

Situations frequently arise in which other maids hold hands.

At the very least, I have to take care of Chrono around me and Cecily in the morning or so, Alyssa thought.

Last night, my husband..., and Alyssa stood by the bed and stared at the messy sheets.

Breathing slightly disturbed.

Alyssa was Chrono's predecessor...... a former mistress of the Marquis Elakis.

No, it wasn't big enough to be called a mistress.

Exquisite, about one of my favorite toys?

It's just like getting dumped when you get tired of it.

The former Marquis Elakis was a terrible man, but he was sometimes nice to me.

I guess that was a product of confusion, but Alyssa was able to have her first child because of it...... Alison.

Sir, and Alyssa squeezed the apron hard.

Alyssa's reason does not want to be a relationship between Chrono and men, but her instincts hold different hopes.

Reason will prevail today.

Reason will prevail tomorrow.

But Alyssa was convinced that the day would come when reason would yield to its instincts.
