Episode20 Confrontation with Childhood Friend


 Temple Knight Lucullus was in a hurry.


 "What the hell! Who are you!! "


 Hyllus shakes his sword in front of you, but he can't reach it by his opponent's circular shield.

 The intruder in front of me pushes it in with a shield.

 Hyllus is pushed as it is, and each guy behind him falls down.


 "Guha! "

 "Guheh! "


 Two stupid voices overlap.


 "What power!"  


 Lucullus sees the intruder in yellow-colored armor in front of him.

 The eyes seen from the gap of the rose were shining red.


 "I'm not human..."


 Lucullus bites the intruder in front of you.

 Lucullus was guarding as the goddess came down.

 When the knight of the subordinate was beating lightly, the bell which informed the presence of the intruder turned out when the appearance of the goddess was not seen in the waiting place.

 The bells rang all over the place, and intruders were intruding from all sides at the same time.

 And when Lucullus and others came to the designated post, they showed up.

 When I look around, six of my subordinates' knights are down.

 A person whose arms and legs have been slashed. A person who was beaten with a shield. However, no one is mysteriously dead.

 Lucullus felt like the enemy was nifying to kill us.

 If you want to kill Hyllus, who is still lying down, you should be able to kill him, but he won't do anything.


 "Walkure Nier of the beautiful victory!" Please help me who is faithful! Sharp Blade!"


 When Lucullus casts magic, the long sword shines.

 Lucullus doesn't have a magical talent.

 However, the protection of Walkure Nier, who recognized his faith, gave him magical powers.

 And Lucullus was promoted to the captain by being recognized by Walkure, the goddess's aide.

 Lucullus holds up his sword and rushes to the intruder.

 Intruders receive with shields.


(Receiving a sword that is strengthened by magic, it is not to scratch one!)


 With Sharp blade magic, you can break a poor shield and even damage a normal shield.

 However, the shield of the intruder does not appear to have been damaged.

 This time the intruder shakes his sword.

 Lucullus is about to fall behind you when you receive it with a knight shield.


(Damn!) This shield is going to break! )


 Lucullus sees the opponent's attack.

 It does not aim at the head and the torso mysteriously. He doesn't seem to want to kill me.


 "Are you really playing..."


 Lucullus whispers.

 The opponent was only one, but it was not attacked from here.

 Six of the subordinates who had nine in only one became impossible to fight in a blink of an eye.

 Lucullus has to be cautious.


 "Yeah?"


 One of the subordinates behind me makes a strange voice.

 Lucullus traced his men's gaze and found a shadow behind the intruder.

 I think it's a new hand and look at the shadows. A man in jet-black armor comes here.

 Lucullus feels cold when he looks at the shadow.

 The pressure of the person is not the ratio of the ochre intruder in front.


 "Da, Dark Knight..."


 Another subordinate raises a voice that squeezes out.


 "If you're a dark knight, you're the dark knight of the example!" Was the rumor true? "


 Lucullus screams.

 The dark knight who defeated reiji, the hero of light.

 Now, its name is ringing all over the world. The man who defeated the invincible Reiji.

 And it is rumored that the dark knight will come to destroy humans by manipulating Monster in various places.


(Is it possible that you are aiming for a goddess?)


 The worst comes to mind in Lucullus's head.


 "Me, the goddess is in danger..."


 Lucullus holds the sword but doesn't stop shaking. It was likely to die only by confronting.

 When the Dark Knight comes close, he turns his hand to Lucullus.


 "Sleep..."


 When I hear those words, Lucullus attacks me. When I look around, the remaining subordinates also fall down.


 "The magic of sleep..."


 Lucullus was late when he noticed the true identity of the sleeper.


 "I'm sure the future was a room with an altar..."


 Lucullus fainted at the end of hearing those words.



 ◆


 "It was a great place to go."


 Kuroki arrives at the desired place and says so.

 No one has resisted the magic of sleep so far. By the time he came, all the people he had encountered had fallen asleep.

 And for some reason there were no angels.

 I think it would have been okay to bring Kuroki Nut with me. I was also thinking about the possibility of a fierce battle.

 Thinking about that, Kuroki shook his head, and let's not let his guard down.


(If you open this door, it's a room with an altar, there's going to be Rena here.)


 I tell the Spartoi and others not to let anyone enter this room.

 When I opened the door, the room with the altar was very large, and in some places it was illuminated by a magic light.

 A huge magic team is drawn in the center of the room.

 And, the four corners of the magic camp are equipped with the one like four stone lanterns.

 The stone lantern is the same thing that Modus saw when he summoned Kuroki. There was no doubt in The Tools to Summon made by heivos.

 And there was a woman turning her back in front of the magic team.

 Kuroki is convinced from the video i saw earliest that it is Rena.


 "Did the intruder catch you?"


 Rena asks questions without turning around.


 "Excuse me, I'm not from this temple."

 "Eh? "


 Rena turns around to those words.

 It was the moment Rena turned around. Kuroki is fascinated.


(This woman is Rena!? It's much more beautiful than what you see in the video! )


 Kuroki reminds me of Mona.

 Mona was also a beautiful woman, but Rena was better than that.

 Kuroki couldn't believe that there was such a beautiful woman.

 That Rena looks surprised to see Kuroki. 


 "Can't you believe it? Dark Knight? Surely! "


 Rena hastily says magic.


 "Teleport!"


 But Rena's magic didn't work.


 "I'm sorry, but when I broke into this temple, the magic of the mobile system was sealed. I don't think you can activate the magic of transition around here."


 Rena looks surprised.


(It looks like i was able to prevent you from teleporting well.)


 Kuroki had made it unsafe to use the magic of teleporting in advance.

 As she approaches, Rena looks back and looks for a weapon.

 However, there is nothing to be a weapon in this place.

 And Kuroki didn't mean to give him time to take up arms.


 "Is it me who's going to aim? I thought it was something to aim at Reiji. I should have brought Walkure us. It was a failure."


 Rena says with regret.

 Kuroki shakes his head and takes off his bag.

 Rena is surprised to see Kuroki's face.


 "Nice to meet you, goddess Rena. I'm sorry to have pushed you into your temple like this."


 Kuroki bows with her bag in her arms.


(Could you have done proper manners?)


 Kuroki gets a little uneasy.

 Modus taught me how to behave about the gods of this world. I thought it was necessary to travel this world.

 The manners of this world are not much different from the world in which Kuroki was based.

 Kuroki bowed because it was not decided that Rena was bad.

 You can't be rude.

 I look up and look at Rena.

 There was a much more beautiful face than I saw in the video.

 Rena is staring at Kuroki's face.

 Kuroki waits for Rena's words. But Rena does nothing just to look at Kuroki's face.


 "Goddess Rena...? "


 Kuroki calls out a slate voice.


 "Ha... Eh..."


 Rena who returned to me panics.


 "It seems that my aim is not my life. What is it, dark knight? "


 Reassurance Rena laughs a little.

 Kuroki seems to be involuntarily admired by the smile.


 "Goddess Rena. I have something to check with you."

 "Confirmation..." Is it? "

 "Yes. Also, are you going to summon someone from a different world as I do? "


 Kuroki is not telling a lie.

 There is no denying the possibility of a new summon.


 "Oh, that's what i mean..." No, Dark Knight.

 "Well,... What? "

 "To return the heroes. It should be convenient for you."


 Rena says so because she thinks Kuroki and the hero are hostile.


 "It's just going to reduce our strength. Summoning of people from different worlds was prohibited in the divine world. I'm definitely not a summoner."

 "Is that really true?" It's funny, as far as I know, it should be difficult for the summoned person to return to the original world. 」

 "Oh, you were listening to me from Modus. But I have no choice but to believe it. It's not really a summon."

 "All right. Rena. But then the hero Reiji's companion sibem might die?"

 "That's true. But it doesn't matter to you."


 Kuroki puts on the axe again when she hears the words of Rena.


 "Dark Knight..."


 Rena is puzzled because the atmosphere of Kuroki has changed.


(Confirmation is over. Questions and answers are no longer useless.)


 Kuroki jumped up and waved a sword and cut one of the tool to summon from the top.


 "What, what..."


 Rena's surprised voice.

 The top part of the cut-off tool to summon falls.

 Kuroki continues to cut two or three tool to summon.

 Kuroki cuts the last fourth and turns the sword at Rena.


 "Did you deceive the heroes?"


 Kuroki says with outrage.

 Rena is dismayed at that voice. The face was a little frightened.


 "...... That's right. You're a summoned person, too."


 Rena says with a little misunderstanding.


 "Rena. Why is that? "

 "It was hard..." The work of making summoning is..."


 Rena says painfully.

 Kuroki apparently didn't seem to have the time to make the magic to return home.


 "That's why..."

 "I can't help it, it's disgusting. That ugly Modus is making my alter ego and doing something strange."


 Rena says with eyes averted.


 "I was kicking him out with all my might. You can't do that."


 Kuroki can't say anything to that word.

 Rena's physiological aversion to Modus is the cause of the conflict. And The Kurokis were summoned for the fight.


(Honestly, I'm losing my strength. But if you think about it, the reason for all the fightmay not come down.)


 Kuroki thinks that if Modus were the kind of guy who would be liked by women, there would have been no conflict.


(In the story, Dark Lord is the princess. The story of heroes and knights going to help is also neatly summarized, but isn't it actually a headache? )


 Kuroki has a headache.

 In the first place, if Dark Lord is a beautiful boy, there is no need to curse the princess.

 It's not talked about in Sakuchu, but the princess probably hates Dark Lord very much.

 I've never heard of a princess who is supposed to be kind-hearted to save The Lost Dark Lord.


(But that's not a reason to fool Shirones.)


 I had to tell Shirone the truth. The best way to do this is to get Rena to help.


 "Goddess Rena. Tell the heroes the truth."


 Kuroki asks Rena.

 There is tension between Kuroki and Rena.


 "...... Hey you. Don't you want to be my knight? "


 But Rena's words were unexpected


 "What!?"


 Kuroki makes a strange voice.


 "More than ugly like Modus. Don't you think a beautiful person like me is better? You should be my knight."

 "Uh..."


 Kuroki is confused by Rena's words.


 "Well, it's pretty unsatisfactory, but if you look closely, it's pretty good. I'll pass it."


 Rena continues to say that Kuroki is bewildered.

 If it is always Kuroki, it will be glad to be invited by the beautiful woman.

 However, Kuroki doesn't take the invitation because it is after knowing the nature of Rena.


 "You seem to be stronger than Reiji. Then you don't need Reiji. What do you think? "


 Rena proposes to Kuroki.


(Maybe Rena has a bad personality?)


 That was when Kuroki thought so.

 One who jumps out of the open door.


 "Oh, oh! "


 The person who jumps out cuts it with a sword when approaching Kuroki.

 Kuroki puts the attack behind him.


 "It's a great place to stay. Rena!"


 It was Shirone.


 "I'm sorry. It was late because Spartoi was on the way. "


 Shirone turns his sword at Kuroki while whispering Rena.


 "A mean man. To turn a sword at a woman who doesn't have a weapon! "


 Shirone turns his angry expression at Kuroki.

 To be honest, Kuroki wants me not to look at him like that.


 "Run away, Rena! Leave the rest to me! "

 "Oh... okay, Shirone. I left the rest to you."


 Rena heads to the door.


 "Wait..."

 "I'm not going through here!" I'm the other party! " 


 Shirone stands in the Kuroki trying to chase Rena.

 Shirone shakes his sword to Kuroki.

 Kuroki prevents the attack sag of Shirone.

 The saving thing for Kuroki is that Shirone's sword muscles are easy to read. So it was easy to prevent.


(Why is this happening? But I have to tell Shirone the truth. I have to take off my bag quickly and reveal my identity.)


 Kuroki tries to get away from Shirone and remove the dark knight's axe.


 "You hurt Reiji! I'll never forgive you! "

 "!!"


 When Kuroki hears that word of Shirone, Kuroki can't take it off.


(No. They are not able to reveal their true identity I didn't mean to hurt you. But it was my will that fought....)


 Kuroki's fight against Reiji was also for Modus, but also jealousy.

 Kuroki wanted to get in the way of Reiji.

 As a result, it made Shirone angry.

 That's what afflicts Kuroki's heart.

 Kuroki didn't want To be hated by Shirone. That's why Kuroki hesitates to reveal his identity.

 I wonder why Kuroki fought.

 I lost to Reiji, i had a fight with Shirone, and I was filled with a pitiful feeling.

 So Kuroki worked hard to get stronger. 

 I made an effort to swords, study, and look good.

 Even if Kuroki was neither against Reiji, he could not forgive himself as a weak person.

 Kuroki was summoned to another world and had the opportunity to fight Reiji again.

 If it's true, Kuroki had to refuse Modus's request.

 But Kuroki couldn't help but fight Reiji.

 That's why Kuroki took on The Request of Modus.

 That's why it's so hard.


 "I'll do it!" Dark Knight! But I wonder if this is it! "


 Shirone backs up and puts out sparkling wings from his back.

 Kuroki didn't know, but Shirone got shining wings on his back when he came to this world.

 Shining wings increase Shirone's fighting power.


 "me! The arrow of light!"


 Shirone flies with his wings flapping, and then flies the shining wings like arrows.


 "Cho!? It's a black flame!"」


 Kuroki builds walls with black flames to prevent rainy light arrows.


 "There is a gap!"


 Shirone flaps the wings of light and flies around the large room, swooping On Kuroki's Back.


 "Lightning blade!"


 Shirone's blue sword is thundering and ringing.


 "Ku!"


 Kuroki twists his body and takes his sword with a demon sword.


 "I'll do it!"


 Shirone accelerates the movement with the wings of light and makes an angry attack.

 Its movement is the same as Reiji and fast.

 However, Kuroki will prevent all of its attacks with a spell edibit.

 Kuroki has been fighting Shirone for a long time.

 Since Shirone went to Reiji, the number of times he has matched his sword has decreased.


(Shirone seems to have been stronger before.)


 Kuroki thinks while receiving Shirone's sword.

 Kuroki remembers Shirone's sword was faster.


(And Shirone's sword habit doesn't change.)


 I think Kuroki is nostalgic.

 Shirone's attack is too straight. So it's easy to predict an attack.

 Kuroki didn't feel like losing.


(But I don't have time! Don't let it go! )


 Kuroki is impatient. Rena, who ran away, might call reinforcements.


(I have to tell Shirone the truth. In order to do that, we have to ask Shirone to talk to us. But what do we do? Are you going to listen to me while i'm hiding my identity? Have Shirone lower his sword. then somehow persuade)


 Kuroki thinks under the axe.




 ◆




(Strong. They are no match)


 Shirone thinks so when he sees the dark knight in front of him.


(My sword is easily prevented and avoided by the other party.) Predicted)


 The Dark Knight was stoking Shirone's sword with the least amount of movement he needed.

 Shirone is amazed at the movement of the dark knight's ground.

 Shirone would have admired it if he wasn't an enemy.

 As far as Shirone knew, only one person could make such a move.

 It is the uncle who does not connect Shirone's blood.

 The other party that Shirone's aunt fell in love with was his uncle.

 Shirone honestly didn't seem to look good looking at his uncle, who was adopted and was usually quiet and laid on his aunt's back.

 However, if you take the sword in your hand, you will become a different person as soon as you take it.

 The movement of the dark knight resembled his uncle's movement.

 Shirone determines that the Dark Knight is as strong as his uncle.


(Now that you mention it, it was your uncle who brought Kuroki home.)


 In the middle of a battle, Shirone thinks about it.

 The battle between Shirone and the Dark Knight is still going on.


(It's completely played!)


 Shirone is impatient.

 Dark Knights are many times stronger than Shirone.

 The battle between such a strong dark knight and Shirone is still going on because his opponent is not attacking him.

 Shirone was frustrated.

 The dark knight in front of me is a despicable man.

 Shirone was disappointed that he couldn't beat such a guy.

 But Shirone can only keep wielding his sword.

 And how many times will it be the first time? Suddenly Shirone's hands lighten up.

 Shirone sees his hand and doesn't have the sword he was holding.

 The sword was rolling on the side.

 Shirone is stunned.


(Unbelievable? I was targeted at Kyo.)


 Shirone sees the Dark Knight.

 The sword is usually softly gripped, and only for a moment to cut it.

 When you hold the sword softly, you call it Kyo.

 The time when it holds strongly is called Jitu.

 The Dark Knight aimed at Kyo just before Shirone held the sword.

 The sword, which was not strongly held, received the sword of the Dark Knight and was away from Shirone's hand.

 Shirone couldn't believe it.

 Shirone thinks so when he sees the dark knight, a master of great swords.


(I am no match for the Dark Knight)


 Shirone wants to cry.


 "Don't think you've won this!"


 Shirone cries and licks the dark knight.


 ◆



 I thought Kuroki went well.


(It was good. I was able to aim at Kyo well.)


 Kuroki praises himself.

 This technique is a technique that can not be used if the amateur who always holds the sword strongly is the other party.

 I was able to use this technique because Shirone who exchanged swords many times was the opponent.


(Shirone lost his sword. I can't fight any more. What's left to do is to convince them.)


 Kuroki thinks about how to persuade him in the form of a dark knight.

 Kuroki sees Shirone.

 Shirone is in love with Kuroki.


(I'm angry after all. But I have to tell you the truth.)


 And Kuroki approaches.


 "Don't think you've won this!"


 Kuroki stops when he hears the words.

 Shirone was crying. Kuroki can't say anything to that crying face.


 "Eventually Reiji will defeat you!"


 And Shirone said out loud.







 "Reiji is better than you!!!!!!!"








 That word pierced Kuroki's heart.


(My heart hurts so much! )


 Kuroki recalls being told the same thing in the past.

 Kuroki thinks it was like a fight between Shirone and Reiji.

 The stab is still stuck in Kuroki.


(We didn't win after all. I won with a sword. But i couldn't beat Reiji about Shirone.)


 Kuroki is at a loss to see Shirone crying.


(I made Shirone cry. I'm a villain.)


 Kuroki feels his heart sinking.

 You have to tell the truth, but you can't tell them.


(Tool to summon broke, Shirone is no longer in danger. But rena has to do anything.)


 It was when Kuroki was thinking. I feel a sign of someone approaching this room.


 "Shirone, are you all right!?"

 "Shirone-san!?"


 Reiji us come in as well as the cry.


 "Re, Reiji-kun..."


 Shirone cries a little and laughs at Reiji.

 Kuroki almost cries when she sees that smile.


 "You! Get away from Shirone! "


 Reiji points his sword at Kuroki.

 Kuroki looked as if a hero had come to help the princess.


(If that's the case, I'm a villain, I'll have to disappear.)


 Kuroki lowers the sword when he thinks so.

 And, it begins to walk in a different direction from Shirone and Reiji.

 There was a bewildering voice from the back of the Reiji, but it didn't matter to Kuroki.

 Kuroki's hand was gripped by a black flame.

 This black flame spewed out of Kuroki's heart.

 Kuroki throws a black flame against the ceiling of the temple.

 The ceiling melts and makes a hole.

 Kuroki flies from the temple to the sky with the magic of flying.


(Let's go back to Nalgol. That dark land is worthy of me.)


 In the moonlight, Kuroki flew alone.
