Dark Knight Story

Episode19 Go to the temple of Alrena

　Outside the walls, Kuroki stands in a place where there are no people.

　The moonlight was shining on Kuroki and creating a shadow on the ground.

　Kuroki turns into a Dark Knight.

(How many times have this been the time to wear the armor of the Dark Knight?)

　The security of the temple is tight, and there are Reijies. There is a high possibility of battle.

　That's why Kuroki is armed and rushes in.

(Well, let's go.)

　Kuroki decides.

　The goal is to hear from Rena.

　However, it may be able to escape while it enters from the front and it is stranded.

(So use this)

　Now there are about 30 small white stones in the bag in Kuroki's hand.

　It is a magic item made from dragon fangs.

　This is what Modus gave to Kuroki for help when he left Nalgol.

　This white stone doesn't seem to be available to anyone, but Modus said it could be used for Kuroki.

　Kuroki burys the white stone at equal intervals on the ground.

　And cast magic.

　"Warriors, born by the power of the dragon's fangs!"

　When you chant, fully armed warriors with a sword in their left hand and a circular shield in their left hand and ochre armor crawl out of the ground. The number is thirty bodies.

　It is a warrior created by magic called Spartoi.

　I felt nothing of life from the red glowing eyes peeking through the slight gap of the axe.

　Those Spartoi sline up to come up to The Kuroki.

　Look at Spartoi.

(It's amazing because such a warrior is born from such a small stone.)

　When Modus explained this magic item, Kuroki was really doubting whether a warrior would be born.

　I feel some magical connection with Spartoi who was born from the magic item.

(It seems to be able to manipulate it if it is this)

　And then look at Nut.

　"Nut. You're waiting outside, and you're in danger of getting caught up in battle."

　"What?　Such Kuroki-sama. I'm fine. I'm not going to be able to get my hands on it."

　Sure, I think Kuroki would. It would be helpful if you would normally follow me.

　But this time it's impossible.

　"I'm sorry. Nut. Maybe this time it's pretty dangerous. There may be an angel under Rena. It's dangerous for them to be with them. So I'll just go."

　According to What Kuroki heard, Rena must be served by a female angel called Walkure.

　Rena is coming down, so they're more likely to be by their side.

　The angel's ability to detect was excellent, and it may be difficult to hide even in Nut.

　"Oh..." I understand."

　If Kuroki says so, Nut can't argue.

　It is different this time if man is the other party.

　Kuroki takes the stone out of his bosom when he sees Nut's irreputable.

　It was a stone of the transition that I took out. It is a magic item that can be used only once even those who can not use the magic of transition.

　"Eh?　That is? "

　"It's a transition stone. Nut. You should go back to Nalgol first."

　Having said that Kuroki passes the stone to Nut.

　"Such Kuroki-sama!"

　"I'm not going to die, Nut. If it's dangerous, I'll definitely withdraw."

　Tell them to reassure Nut.

　"All right. Please be careful. Kuroki-sama"

　Nut reluctantly accepts.

　"Then I'll go. Nut, stay back."

　"Yes, Mr. Kuroki..."

　Kuroki sees Spartoi when he sees Nut leaving his shoulder.

　"Spartoi!"

　It shouts so, and When Kuroki runs, Spartoi and others start to move, too.

　The movement doesn't seem to be wearing heavy armor quickly.

　Like Kuroki, the Spartoi and others move lightly over the roof of a private house.

　The goal is the Temple of Alrena.

　Spartoi is rushed from all directions as a kite. Kuroki is going to break in one tempo late.

　According to Nut, Rena is in a room with an altar in the center of the temple to prepare for the way Shirones are returned.

(The art seems to be done tomorrow. So if it moves, it's only now.)

　The Kurokis marched toward the temple.

　◆

　At night, Reiji and his companions gather in a room of the temple.

　"Hey Reiji-kun, this is not alcohol!"

　Chiyuki protests by sticking out the passed drink.

　"Well, that's good, Chiyuki. It could be the last night for Chiyuki."

　Reiji tells you to make teasing.

　"Yes, Chiyuki-san, I won't say hard things, I won't say anything hard."

　"That's right, Chiyuki," said the hard thing.

　Rino and Nao say happily.

　Tomorrow, Chiyuki and Shirone will return to their original world.

　That's why the heroes decided to have a simple farewell party.

　In front of the heroes are snacks and drinks prepared by the temple eras.

　There was sake in the drink that I had prepared.

　Now, Chiyuki's drink is made from persimmon-like fruit mixed with seawater and honey.

　This alcohol has a low alcohol content, and even if you drink it, you won't get drunk first.

　The only exception would be Kyouka, who fell down after taking a sip.

　The Kyouka is sleeping on a nearby sofa and is under Kaya's care.

　However, no matter how low their alcohol levels are, the heroes are minors and drinking is prohibited.

　If Kyouka hadn't fallen, Chiyuki wouldn't have noticed either.

　"But, Chiyuki. This may be the last time We can be in this world, and we won't be able to see each other for a while. Let's have fun breaking up at the end."

　When Reiji says, everyone except Chiyuki whispers.

　"I'm not going to be able to see you guys for a while."

　Shirone says it in a sad way.

　Everyone is a little displeased with the words.

　"Look, Chiyuki and Shirone. The place is going to be wet. Let's have fun, too."

　"I can't help it anymore..."

　Chiyuki reluctantly accepts drinking.

　Chiyuki didn't want the place to be damp, even though it was something.

　"Reiji-kun always takes me on board."

　And the heroes talk about the time they came to this world.

　We fought dragons, interacted with elves, and went to mountains, seas and caves. It was fantastic, and it was as if it had entered the world of the story.

　Of course, there were some dangers and hardships, but I enjoyed it because I had friends. If you come to this world alone, it will be just painful.

　"Now, when you go home, you'll feel lonely."

　Chiyuki drinks. The sake is a little sweet and delicious.

　"Then, do you want to stop going home?"　Chiyuki? "

　"No. That's enough, someone's got to go home."

　Chiyuki shakes his head.

　For Chiyuki and Shirone, this adventure was over tomorrow.

　However, the two of them were really thinking that their back hair would be drawn to the fact that they would return to their daily lives first.

　"I'm sorry, Reiji. I'm supposed to quit in the middle of practice."

　"I can't help it. It's all of a sudden."

　Shirone apologizes to Reiji.

　The practice to combat the dark knight simply came back, so I had to stop.

　"Everyone, please ask about Reiji. Don't fight until you have a way to win, especially the Dark Knight! "

　Everyone whispers at Chiyuki's words.

　Dark Knights are strong. However, it is not the other party who must be defeated even if it risks the life.

　Chiyuki is asking Kaya to search for Hentai. In some cases, you must find someone who can summon someone other than Rena.

(If you don't defeat the Dark Knight and you can't subdue Dark Lord, you'll have to ask that person.)

　Then Chiyuki and the others enjoyed a drink and a snack.

　And it was time to talk about whether to open it for tomorrow.

　Kankankan.

　I hear the sound of multiple bells.

　"What's the sound!?"

　Chiyuki and his face are looked at.

　"You're an intruder!"

　"I'm from the west exit!"

　"The suspicious guys at the east exit!"

　The ahast voice scallion of the knights.

　"Intruder!?"

　The bell just before seems to have been the sound of an alarm system.

　"Are you an intruder?"　Do we need to get out?"

　Reiji says.

　If you're not a big guy, you can ignore it.

　"Who are you really?"　Can you please, Nao? "

　"I understand. Chiyuki-san."

　Nao closes her eyes and meditates.

　One of the special abilities that Nao has acquired when she came to this world is her ability to sensing objects.

　It's the ability to see what's and where the enemy is without looking at it.

　This ability can also be used by Reiji, Shirone and Kaya. However, while the distance that Reiji and two other people can sense is about 8 or 9 meters in radius, Nao can actually sense up to a radius of about 2 kilometers.

　However, I usually only know to the extent that there is something. If you concentrate your mind, your precision will increase dramatically, and you will be able to understand what the other person is like.

　Of course, there is a weakness in the sensing ability. It is not possible to sense magic or color only in the form of an object, and if the space is blocked by a barrier caused by magic, the blocked other side cannot sense it.

　This temple was also covered with magical barriers, but it was supposed to be able to sense because it was inside the barrier.

　"About 30 intruders have invaded the temple in pieces."

　Chiyuki tilts his head to Nao's report. The temple is heavily guarded because of the advent of goddesses.

　There should be more than 300 people guarding today. With only thirty people, it will be immediately seized.

　"...... These guys have happened before. I'm sure he's called Spartoi."

　Chiyuki is surprised by Nao's report.

　Spartoi is the Monster encountered when fighting at Nalgol.

　The strength should have changed depending on the height of the magic of the person who called for sure.

　"Is it because Dark Lord attacked us?"

　Rino says anxiously.

　"Nao-san. If it's Spartoi, there's a person who called it. Find an intruder, a magician."

　Chiyuki gives Nao instructions.　

　If it's Spartoi, there's an operator who called. Spartoi should have disappeared if he defeated him.

　"I know! "

　Nao meditates further.

　"There was a guy who looked different from the others..."

　Nao captures intruders who are not Spartoi.

　"It's probably the one who called Spartoi. Then if you beat him, it's over."

　Reiji laughs unfitly.

　"This shape is a knight...　 By any chance, the dark knight of that time?"

　Everyone is surprised at Nao's whispering.

　"What was that time?"　I hurt Mr. Reiji by any chance. Uh..."

　"I think so. Rino-chan"

　Nao stops meditating and answers.

　"Maybe the dark knight might be looking for Rei"

　Sahoko's face turns pale.

　No, the target is different"

　Reiji says so and stands up with a weapon.

　"Hey, where are you going!" "

　"Rena may be dangerous!" "

　Reiji tries to leave the room saying so.

　The Dark Knight came as if to see Rena's advent.

　It may be more likely than Reiji being targeted.

　The Rena should have been preparing for tomorrow's return.

　"No, you can't win!"

　Sahoko hugs Reiji and stops.

　"Yes, I can't!　If you go, they'll just kill you! "

　Chiyuki doesn't have to risk his life for Rena either. I think we should abandon it.

　But Reiji shakes his head.

　"I'm sorry, but I'm going. If Rena is dangerous, I'll go, and I'll go when everyone is in danger."

　Reiji would go. I risk my life to help a pretty woman.

　That's why Chiyuki and the others are on Reiji's side.

　"No, I'm not going to let you go!"

　Sahoko embraces Reiji even more strongly.

　However, it is not Reiji who hears such a thing.

　However, it is not possible to try to shake Sahoko because it is weak.

　"I'm sorry Sahoko. Will you let me go? And when Rena's gone, we can't go home."

　"I can't go home..." Sure, that's a problem, but what are you going to do when you die? "

　Chiyuki screams.

　Sahoko is supposed to be the most powerless in this. But now Reiji can't shake it off.

　Reiji's body is not yet ready to fight. It's no use going.

　That's why Chiyuki thinks he has to force Reiji to stop.

　"I'll go!"

　Suddenly Shirone screams.

　"I'll protect Rena!"　So, please, Reiji, stay safe with everyone! "

　"Shirone-san!"

　Shortly after Chiyuki stopped, Shirone said that and ran out of the room.

　◆

　Shirone thought not to let Reiji fight.

　I couldn't hurt him any more when I saw Sahoko desperately stopping Reiji.

　That's why Shirone jumped out.

　It was around the time shirone entered the high school that he began to act with Reiji.

　The reason is that Shirone's aunt asked me to do so.

　My aunt's house has been an escort for the Mido family for generations.

　But it was about my aunt's house, and it had nothing to do with Shirone's house.

　The aunt asked Shirone to escort the Mido family's sergeant through the parents of his sister Shirone.

　My aunt had no children, and Shirone was of the same age, so I heard her voice.　

　Because it is a rich house, there is a possibility that a person with a good idea approaches.

　It is Shirone's job to stop such a person in the school.

　According to my aunt, he is a special child.

　Therefore, it was told to defend absolutely.

　And I was told to keep the escort secret from the people around me.

　I don't know why, but it seems to be better.

　And then, in a lost way, Shirone received the story.

　After all, the other party is a beautiful boy, and it is a very rich man.

　Shirone was also his age, and he was still interested in good-looking men.

　In this way, Shirone gets closer to Reiji.

　Shirone enjoyed such a situation quite a bit.

　Reiji is kind to girls and doesn't force her to do so.

　In addition, it is because I became friends with the Zhou Rino girl.

　However, Shirone was questioning his role.

　Reiji was stronger than Shirone and didn't think he needed an escort.

　Rather, Shirone had protected the danger.

　And Reiji was saving the crisis of not only Shirone but many girls.

　The more dangerous it was, the more it was burning, and he had the ability to get over it.

　Shirone looked at it and thought he looked like a hero.

　yes was actually a hero.

　One day, an incident happened.

　On that day, Shirone was asked for help because his friend was taken to a bad gala by a junior child.

　I was confident in my skill because my parents were doing a dojo, and Shirone was often asked for help from a junior girl.

　So even then, Shirone took a wooden sword to help his junior friend.

　There were three girls on the scene and five men surrounding it. The man might be a high school student, but the body was big and smelled of violence.

　Before that, Shirone had never lost to a boy. Even a wooden sword would have won.

　But that day was different.

　One of the men who was furious at the sword was beaten with an iron pipe.

　Shirone received the blow with a wooden sword.

　It was a great shock.

　At that time, Shirone's hands were numb and the wooden sword was dropped.

　The men were mocking Shirone, who was terrified by losing his weapon.

　That was the time when Reiji came.

　My junior was also calling for help from Reiji.

　Shirone remembers the Reiji thing well at that time.

　Reiji has bare hands even though his opponent has a weapon, but Reiji easily defeated five of them.

　Your opponent has a weapon, but he's bigger than Reiji, but he's not afraid to fight and win. The figure is truly the hero of the story.

　Reiji was kind to Shirone, who was so smitified by fear.

　But at the time of the fight, Reiji had an injury to his right hand.

　Even a hero can get hurt.

　From that time on, Shirone began to seriously think that if something happened to Reiji, he would protect himself.

　And, it came to be on the side more and more.

　However, there were some people around me who said that they were involved in Reiji, and Shirone was very frustrated.

　My own thing was good, but I couldn't allow him to say bad things about Reiji.

　I got into a fight with my childhood friend Kuroki. Kuroki didn't say anything directly, but he seemed clearly dissatisfied. It was very frustrating for Shirone.

　No, I guess I was even more angry because it's Kuroki.

(I want You to understand Kuroki too.)

　Shirone thinks of his childhood friend Kuroki.

　My childhood friend Kuroki is so dark that I can't talk well with girls other than Shirone.

　He was a boy who was always alone.

　The Kuroki and Shirone were in a fight over Reiji.

　The reason is Kuroki's one-sided jealousy. At least Shirone thinks so.

(Or do you care about losing?　But it's no use worrying about it. Reiji is special.)

　Shirone, as his aunt said, was beginning to think of him as a special being.

　She is tall and handsome. And strong, good grades.

　There's no way Kuroki doesn't have to be the enemy. Shirone thinks Kuroki should be confident because his face isn't that bad.

　Reiji was a hero, and it didn't change in other worlds.

　Many people praised the heroes of light.

　He's a hero who defeats Dark Lord and regains the Golden Age.

　Shirone was proud of being one of them.

　At least before the Dark Knight appeared.

　Everything has changed because of the appearance of the Dark Knight.

　The death of Reiji reminded Shirone of his role.

　And, it was made to think how shallow my idea was.

　Shirone recalls Sahoko's face.

(Sahoko was desperate. I was desperately healing Reiji.)

　It reminded me that he was special to her.

(Don't let Reiji fight. So I fight)

　Now is the time for Shirone to act as an escort.

　That's why Shirone jumped out.

(But the load was too heavy for me....)

　That's why Shirone wanted to stop escorting and go home.

(I have to report it to my aunt.)

　Shirone remembers being told to report when something serious happens when he escorts.

(I also want to see Kuroki for the first time in a long time.)

　Shirone has less time to meet Kuroki since he became an escort.

　It was regrettable to remain in a fight.

　Since we've been together for a long time, Shirone wants to get along.

　Two Spartoi stand in front of Shirone.

　"Get out of the way!"

　Shirone stood up to Spartoi without a sword.
