Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Episode 8: Evening Banquet

"So, who's that kid...?

Bloodthirsty, fluffy Celestia instantly recovers and asks Erica, who is a black-haired child.

"I found it in town. Looks fun... so I invited you to dinner because you're such a good kid."

"Really?

Make choices that you think are best without being able to organize things.

"... for now, Erica needs to sweat. It must have been hot outside."

Suggesting that with a slightly stronger smile, Erica won't let go of her children, who will want to refresh herself as soon as possible.

"But this kid... if you let go of his hand, he'll probably run away.

"Would you stop saying I'm like an insect stuck in a tree around here?

Instead of listening to the child's throwing noise, Erica hugged her.

"I will treat you well. So please come and take a bath with confidence. Right?"

The serene Celestia had become the usual smile.

Looks like the sweat is still flowing on the comedy.

"... okay."

Tenderly, following her sister's advice, she seated the child in a bench and headed towards the door.

"Well, I'll be gone for a while, but don't be rude to my sister.

"Did you (...)...?"

I was anxious to leave Celestia's room with the question of a child who had never forgotten his manners.

"Eh...."

The moment you hear the door close, Celestia jumps to the side of Chrono without forgetting her gentleness.

…………

unspeakable silence.

Celestia and the others were puzzled about how to speak to the fallen Lord.

Eventually, however, Chrono turned the atmosphere around and walked towards the window frame in a tight aura.

…………

I looked up at the sky, which was silent and burning in an azure color.

Looking up at the powerful sunset sky from the open window, the demon king opened his mouth.

"... does anyone know what I'm trying to say?

Speaking of the appearance of a young child, he strictly questioned the people in the room with a magical temperament.

That alone made it seem as if the room was frozen.

…………

"............"

There were two people who spoke to the Demon King.

Not only Celestia, who was sadly frightened by the reprimands of the Lord, but also Mob, who feared the power of destruction that lay in the Devil.

A space of only three people, or an urgent moment that suddenly began.

"I'll give you a hint.... think of all the trouble I've put into my usual break-in."

Turn your back and speak with a hard voice.

"Maybe... you think I was caught by Princess Erica and brought here without question? Do I look like such an idiot?

"No, no, there's no disillusionment!

Very well then.

Chrono turned his face slightly over his shoulder and called out to Celestia, who was in a hurry.

"Hmm, it doesn't take much time. Let me tell you the answer....."

I bite my lips and feel remorse for not answering the Lord's question.

"... you must have come here in secret. That position is also the most important in the Kingdom. I mean, nobody gets in here but the minimal people involved. It has to be. Isn't it?

"Nh!!

"Well, that's...."

Celestia is clear, and Mob sensorially reaches the answer.

"This time, I'm not using any special skills. I contacted Princess Erica in a way that anyone could, skillfully introduced her by words, and directed her to bring her here."

…………

He rounded Erica up with just his mouth and came this far.

It's not just power, it's a number of skills that go beyond the Demon King's intelligence. Mob's body trembles due to various emotions.

If you ask me, it's usually impossible for ordinary people to get in here. This situation with just a child is obviously unusual.

"However, Kurono-sama can only induce such words by magic....."

"Celeste... it's not strange that someone other than this demon king can do this. Let me be clear. - Your lack of attention."

"Hmm!?

Celestia knelt pale at the mixed words of the turning demon king.

I was disappointed. That fact pushes Celestia deeper and deeper.

The demon king nodded to the eagle just to understand the mistake and walked towards Celestia, who was about to cry.

"... Celeste, I'm worried."

"Hyah!

"You are often targeted. I want you to understand how I feel. I don't care. So this time, to make you realize that you're overconfident and relaxed, I let you try it out."

…………

Smooth red cheeks with only the hands of the Demon King.

Unbearable heartbeats are engraved in the fact that you were thought of more than you thought.

"Uu...... nh......"

It's hot enough to burn, strong enough to crush, and tightens your chest.

Celestia moisturizes her eyes with a serious look at Chrono and a melting trance expression.

Keep your eyes tangled for a while to make sure they're together.

"Do you understand?

"... I was... stupid... Please forgive me...."

Celestia's hand, which was pressing her chest, wrapped her palm around her cheek.

I meditated like I felt everything, and I was obsessed with the hands of the demon king.

"Let me forgive you. It's only natural. Like I said before. Ichirotoshi, good to see you again.... and so are you, Mob."

Wow, me too? I'm just a shadow warrior..... "

A surprised mob.

I am nothing but a servant of Celestia, serving as a transformer.

I didn't think I was that important.

"... you were a member of [Kronos] before you were a Shadow Warrior. There is no substitute. It is the only one.... sad, was I the only one who thought I was having a good and special time in King's Landing?

"Nh...!!

Chrono's words, which he could not predict, got stuck in words because of the emotions in his chest.

"They're both irreplaceable. If you're in trouble, I'll be happy to help, and if you're in trouble, I'll be happy to help. You can always tell me."

Turning again, the Demon King casually said to his little back.

"... after all..."

Celestia whispered from her exclamation.

By using the situation ingeniously and discerning individual properties and abilities, I was also aware of the existence of pieces that Celestia lacked.

"... please forgive me for doubting even a little of your strength..."

Mob lay flat on the floor in the heat of passion, even if his maid clothes were dirty.

"... mmm"

Even Mob, who nodded deeply and questioned the power of the Demon King, was guilty of a crime worthy of the ultimate punishment, was easily granted mercy.

"Eh... by the way, it's Asla and the others."

"Of course, we're not talking about any of us."

…………

Celestia politely replied that she could not show any more indecency as she had been loved so far.

"... let's hear more"

"Yes, sir."

Celestia then demonstrated the best wisdom in the Kingdom of Light, explaining a series of flows that the Devil had assembled.

"─, I guess.... what do you think?"

"... Phew, Jesus."

"Eh...."

Reading perfectly for himself, Chrono shook his hand at the window frame with a small body and exhaled.

If you continue to fail, Celestia will never be able to discipline herself.

Just a few moments before the demon king's words continued, she felt tense for many minutes.

"I can't hide anything from you anymore. Everything will be visible."

"Ah... well, then...!

Celestia smiles as if her surroundings were illuminated.

"You're right. So let's go."

"Shall we go...?

"No, don't worry. I just made the wrong choice."

Occasionally, it's a little pee-pee.

"Fufufu, Kurono-sama is so interesting."

I wonder if that's like your majesty.

This also makes Celestia and Mob unbearable.

"By the way, where is she?

The Demon King looked at the child outside who had been concerned for a long time and asked.

"... that's Bren, the Soden family's main brother."

Bren waves his wooden sword in the shadow of a tree visible from the window.

As usual, it's a very awkward gesture, but Chrono...

"... fu, that's nice. I'd love a swordsman like him to use my sword."

I think Celestia smiles as much as Chrono smiles naturally.

But given the circumstances surrounding him, it is difficult.

Especially when I think about my parents who have already died...

"... Kurono-sama"

"Hmm? What?

Magnificence becomes soft and gently returns chrono.

The desire to speak to the LORD from now on is difficult even for Asra.

No, given the content of the request, Chrono may be more difficult to achieve.

But if the impossibility of even giving up is possible, it is only this master who twists the reason of the world.

"Oh, I know you're afraid, but I have one favor to ask..."

Burning into my brain was a tragic sight two years ago.

[Sword Demon] Sod, who has been a swordsman for a long time, slashed and tore apart the threats of the kingdom such as powerful monsters, lost the sword trick without meeting properly.

♢♢♢

Hakto's legs stopped as he was searching for Erica.

I saw it again this year.

…………

Behind that gaze was Bren's awkward gesture, which I saw last year.

Growth... I don't see it in my eyes.

My grandfather, Sod, and my sister, Killier, told me to give up, but I kept shaking.

I don't know if it's passion or pleasure.

... as for me, I want to push back.

I want to push Bren's back like my father and mother, teachers and knights who are watching over me.

But unlike before, it seemed best to show Hakto a different path now that he struggled every day with Erica's talent.

I wonder if it would be better for him to explore other ways sooner rather than later to experience the difficulty of seeing geniuses and talents like himself.

Regardless of the sword or spear, there are many other options, such as bows.

…………

Your hands and legs were trembling slightly.

I'm so scared... I'm so scared.

My legs are stronger than my enemies.

But....

"... um, Bren"

……

After a deep breath, Bren noticed Hakt.

It started with a slight trembling voice, but I managed to squeeze it out.

"Long time no see. Well... how are you?

"Hah, hah!"

Though it is a familiar Blend, the princess and the others must not have a rough face, and he answers with a full voice as he stands upright and stretches.

And the more innocent he looks, the more bewildered Hakt's heart is.

But I never squeezed my voice out of my stomach because of Bren.

"Um... I knew Bren had a better weapon..."

... the back of Hakt's chest hurts.

"Eh...."

Fearing that it might be taken away, Bren desperately embraced the wooden sword.

In this state, it appears that the sword has been confiscated several times before.

"No, no, it's nothing. I'm sorry to bother you...."

A creepy silence flows between Hakt and Bren.

"-Bren-kun!!

"Hyah!?

The two of you jumped up and were surprised by the sudden voice.

Another sword? As for me, it's about time you noticed and gave up... oh?

Raghelin, who rushed to Bren, noticed Hakt.

"Oh, good place. Bren, I came to call because I had time for your class, but the knights asked me to call you, too."

"Eh!? Me too!?

"I saved myself the trouble of calling. Luck comes down on a busy day."

Raghelin drew his hand to express the joy of teaching, and the two were carried away without being given a chance to refuse.

………

……

"Ahh, I can't stand it anymore. You're all set, right? All right, let's get started. Let's start with the basics. Bren, you can't give me advice.

Explain the old book to Hakt and Bren, sitting quietly over two desks in one hand.

"Kohon... history must be correctly communicated. Do you know why?

After a wild cough, Raghelin asked Hakt pleasantly.

I have taught Bren many times what Raghelin believes.

"... because I'm going to make a mistake in the exam?

What...? But Bren turned his face to Hakt without thinking.

"Ah, ahh... uh, history is a gift from the past. Because there are so many stars, so many lessons."

Bewildered by Hakt's answers, Raghelin continues the lesson.

"From a distant age of mythology, a number of people were born and died without our knowledge. Naturally, they each have a life to walk. What we can learn from the few clues is really part of it. If that was a mistake, aren't the ancestors who ran through those times too pathetic?

…………

Though Bren was already understanding and silent, Hakt was relieved to open his mouth.

"Eh... then why don't you think about it with a nidai?

"Nidai? Nidai is the evil swordsman who stole the country that used to be here.

Hakto answers the well-known facts without hesitation.

…………

"You see? This is what happens, so we have to be thorough about correctness."

But Bren leaned down with a dark face, and Raghelin looked in trouble.

Well, let's talk about that sword without touching Nidai himself this time.

While feeling the subtle atmosphere, Hakt is drawn to Raghelin's continued words.

"Are you going to defeat a very powerful demon king? If we use the sword that Nidai has well, it will be possible. Of course, it's not as simple as saying it over the years that it won't come true."

"Well, how do you know that?

"Because the research accumulated by generations of Saudins in Sood's room shows that."

…………

He told Raghelin that he couldn't believe what he was saying.

"In this world, no matter how strong the Demon King is, he can't resist. It may be a dragon that symbolizes power, or it may be a god or a giant that often tells stories. But none of that is what makes us who we are."

"That's not a story...."

"Then how do you explain the ruins of Mount Siber? That building is still not reproducible. Undeciphered ancient magic tricks. I can only imagine that God made it?

Ultra-technology bothers the experts. It was scattered all over the world.

You don't know what's lurking in the "Five Holes” or the bottom of the ocean? Nobody's ever seen the depth... because it's hard to even predict. We humans live on the edge of the cliff next to that threat. "

The students took a breath at Raghelin, who seemed serious.

"So the existence of myths is not an opaque but impossible story.... that sword is now sealed with the power of Nidai..."

Even speaking seriously, Raghelin leaves Hakt and Bren alone for further thought.

"... that sword seems to hide a single scale of similar existence."

♢♢♢

That night.

Lake Nidai is no longer lively or hot during the day, but quiet and cool breezes blow in.

Several clouds, large and small, gently drifted through the night sky, blocking the moonlight to an apologetic extent.

The whole town of Lake is filled with the light of those who move the stage and still enjoy the banquet.

"That's Nidai... Somehow I was helping the diner before the feast, so I was late."

Ha.

Chrono, who appeared to grow up as a demon king, and Kageha, who followed him faithfully, looked down at Nidai from the special seat.

"... so, what can I do for you?"

"Just do what you asked me to do."

Kurono pulled out the thin black sword pointing out on the side with his opposite hand.

A smooth dark sword shines in the moonlight.

One of the Demon King weapon series, "Black Sword Chrono-Caliber".

Then I'll go. Don't let your mist and you fail to be on guard. "

Ha!

A creepy lizard replied, lowering his head lightly and sending out the Lord.

Together, the blue-coloured fog that was scouting over the sky gathered next to the lizard, and a mist appeared.

"...... Yikes"

Leave the handlers behind and walk four steps to the cliff before jumping into the lake.

Unusual and calm even to unknown opponents.

A sword that is more unstoppable than the past, and more than Kensei.

Even the few Nidai who were rumored to be worried were still hostile to this demon king.

The lizard's heart, which was swaying on behalf of the Lord, became terribly hot.

…………

The blue light lights up in the eyes of Nidai.

――――

Slightly faster than the landing of Kurono, Nidai disappears.

The moment the Demon King's soles hit the water surface, Kurono's black sword and Nidai's sword swinging in turn in a flowing motion were vigorously met.

"... let's do it."

…………

Against the collision of fierce swords, a clear treble echoes across the lake that falls in love with listening.

"I thought you'd be there. But...."

And a silent and immovable clamor.

\ 39721; At a close distance from each other's swords, Kurono and the helmet of Nidai perverted by the curse are relative.

"... I'm surprised. I can't believe you knew the sword was better than me."

…………

In front of Kurono's eyes, which burned brightly with joy, the blue eyes of Nidai, who instinctively understood the crisis, began to emit an intense glow urgently.
