BLACK MOON - Black Magic War Beginning with Jailbreak - [Full story illustration available]

By the time Captain Joker left the Bells, the circus was getting more lively. Already hours have passed since the opening of the circus on this day. Meet little clowns or get attacked by white monkeys. There was a lot going on, but the Summerbell brothers and sisters got up early this day to see the big tent show for sure. They were walking with the Bells towards the Great Tent as if they remembered their original purpose.

"You ate some time..."

"Don't worry about it. It's not your fault. Besides, without you, we wouldn't have even been able to enter the premises."

Damian did not break his sincere posture. I came early, but this doesn't make sense to get up early. Lili felt sorry for wasting her time.

……………

Bell and Judy were walking forward with attention to their surroundings. When there were few guests, I didn't have to consciously check around, but now the premises are full of people as far as I can see. I don't know where or what kind of person is lurking.

………………

Like them, Abby was moving her gaze. She's empty up there somewhere, usually like an unconscious doll, but now she's willing to move her gaze. Do you care about Rob, who has been flown far away? The little clown had a good influence on the girl's mind not least.

"Ahhh..."

"You're so already here!

After a while they were reaching around the big tent. Judy and Bell were the first to raise their voices when they saw the sights around the big tent. There are still about 50 meters to the big tent, but that's where people are turning back. Unlike the aisles we have walked in so far, the area around the great tent was so dense that people could not move.

……………

Having seen the sight, Abby gave him a sad look to see. Compared to when Lili first met, I feel like Abby's expression has changed a lot. However, this change is not a very good one.

"Don't push it! It's dangerous. Please line up.

When the Summerbell brothers and sisters were anxious, where did they hear their voices? Someone is screaming. When I saw those who spoke, there was a clown dressed just like he was at the entrance to the circus. He looks like a clown then, but he doesn't seem to be the same person.

"For this minute, you're not going to be able to watch the show again today..."

"You don't know that! Let's ask him."

That's what Bell said to encourage when Damien leaned down unfortunately. Sure, people fill up around the big tent, but I haven't decided I can't get in yet. Hope is thin, but I don't know until I check with the circus humans.

"Hey, can we still get inside?

Bell quickly approached the mundane clown. And listen to what the Summerbell brothers and sisters care about the most.

"You're from the Knights... and that hasn't started admission yet, but this minute, you can't even get in line now..."

"Can't you do something about it?

The clown's answer was much as expected. If you can't get into the big tent, you'll see. However, Bell checked the facts in response to a desire.

It wasn't a bell pulling back here. Although not the original purpose, Bell is trying to use all of the power he can have to fulfill the wishes of the Summer Bell brothers and sisters.

"If you are a Knights, you can enter the stage corner."

"Really? ⁉ We don't have to watch anything, but he wants to see it... you can take him with you, right?

Bell's attentive words make things better. Here it is. The use of power. Thanks to the position of the Knights, the wishes of the Summerbell brothers and sisters can be fulfilled. Bell was so sure.

"That's... troublesome. Only Knights can enter the stage corner. Please understand that if you put the general public in the stage corner, there will be complaints from other customers."

"Claims... this is part of my job too. Let me in."

"Even if they say that... it's a rule..."

"Hey, please ~!

But things didn't go the way Bell thought. If you're a Knights person, you can go in, but you can't go in otherwise. That was a decision laid down by the circus to protect the equality of visitors. We can only enter tents beyond capacity to monitor visitors.

"I'm sorry. How dare you..."

"What the fuck! The Knights of Heaven are here. Why don't you ask them to come in?"

To a clown who would not give in hard work, Bell offended. Bell was trying to use his power to show the Summer Bell brothers and sisters a good place, so he is frustrated by the ruin of the operation.

"Hey Belle...... you're too much"

Judy, who watched such a bell, will finally be unable to keep her mouth shut. I don't know how much for a purpose, but now Bell just looks like a tough bad Kramer.

"I've had enough."

Saw Bell still trying to keep protesting, Damien said. Even though there was work to be done, Damien didn't feel like the Bells prioritized the purpose of the Summerbell brothers and sisters. It was a pleasure for them to be so desperate to protest, but I don't have to ask them to do this. Damian thought so.

"But..."

"Why are you doing us so much good? We're just guests like the others. [M] There are plenty of other people who would like to see the show, and if you leave it to each guest, you won't be able to do your job."

"It's..."

The more time you spend with the Bells, the more doubts you have in Damien's brain. That's why the Bells are working with their brothers and sisters who have no contact whatsoever. Not to mention a favor, I'm being taken care of too much. Damian had no intention of bothering the Bells any more.

"Because it's you guys! It's you guys, so we're acting together. I'm not asking for anything else."

"What are you talking about?"

Bell wears it cool, but that statement only baffled Damien even more. For the Bells, the Summer Bell brothers and sisters are necessary for the operation. Bell is trying to convey it without covering it up. Lili shouted at Bell just now trying to ruin the operation with the speed of light.

"... then I'll say it. We need you. I didn't just want to help. We have to act with you to fulfill our purpose."

Judy gave up on continuing to falsify her true purpose. Of course, I didn't tell them my number one purpose was to look for the black magic book (Grimoire) hidden in the circus.

"Overshadowing the prophecy of Baba Fangus... there is no sudden clapping, but I am convinced. So you're saying we had a win-win relationship. Now I can rely on you!

It is better not to convey the original purpose. Lili thought so, but Damien accepted the outgoing Judy's. Even now, Judy and I noticed that Damian was unworthy of his age at this time.

"All right, let's go into the big tent!

"Are you an idiot...?

"That's why I can't go in anymore."

Bell says he's willing, but immediately Judy and Lili denied the absurd idea. I just figured out how not to get into the big tent. No matter how much power you exercise to say Knights, you can't let anything in.

"Then it would be nice to force you to break through!

"If we do that, instead of regaining our trust, we'll be kicked out of the circus."

Looks like Bell was seriously trying to get into the big tent, but that was an act of ruining the operation he's been running. Even to overturn the prophecy of Baba Fangas, the Bells have already defied the Circus members. It is better not to do too much to make the operation a success.

Kussh...

That's when I heard someone breathing without laughing. Bell, who was getting a little hot, thought he had been laughed at and saw the sound of it. Then there was Abby's bright face, which slackened her mouth.

"Abby......!

Abby, who was always faceless, is laughing. Damian, who saw the sight, accidentally rounded his eyes. What the hell makes her smile?

"Thank you"

"Huh?"

Shortly after that, Abby said so in a brighter voice than usual. Everyone there turned their eyes round and didn't know what Abby's gratitude was for.

"Thank you for helping us, even if we had other purposes. I'm sorry I can't watch the show, but I'm giving up today"

Abby spoke clearly and brightly in front of the Bells at this time. She seemed happy to see why when she said she'd give up watching the show this day.

"But Abby..."

"It's okay. I met people as delightful as a circus. I just enjoyed spending time with Lili, Belle and Judy!

Damian worried, but Abby blocked his words. At this time, it became clear what Abby felt like spending time with the Bells and coming. Coming all the way with her ever serious Damien, she was childish like Belle, a grandmother like Lili, and the first time she'd ever spent time with someone as strong as Judy. Though neither of them served their purpose, this encounter had a good impact on the Summerbell brothers and sisters.

……………

When I heard that, Belle had complex emotions. It's very good that Abby laughed, but the reason for that wasn't a pleasure for Belle. Pleasant as a circus… is that the Bells were dumb as a spectacle. I'm not sure she spoke in that sense, but at least that's what Bell thought.

"Abby, are you sure? We don't have much time..."

"Time? What do you mean, time?

"Actually..."

Say anything.

What the hell does Damian mean by "time”? Lili listens back unexpectedly. I've heard about the unfortunate events that have struck Abby so far, but it seems that the Summerbell brothers and sisters have some circumstances that have not been revealed to the Lillis.

Abby didn't have much time left.

"That's..."

I don't have much time left. Once again, Lili understood what Damien was going to say. I don't have time for this...

"As you can imagine. Abby's life expectancy is one month. I hate to believe the time I have left is so short, but I want to do everything I can to fulfill Abby's wishes until the time runs out!

That was to say that Abby's life was just around the corner. A girl so young says she spends a lot of time in a wheelchair and even the end of her life is that close. It may be a miracle that a girl stood in such an abyss of despair smiled.

"Fine...... it was hard to say because your brother is so uptight, but it's not the circus I wanted to see the most"

"Ah ⁉⁉Then let's go see what Abby's # 1 wants to see soon!

Confessing the fact that Damien was hiding, Abby also spoke of the thoughts that were trapped in the back of her mind. Damien thought what Abby wanted to see number one was a Trump Circus show. So whether it was full or rejected by a circus person, I kept coming for the big tent.

But her number one thing I wanted to see wasn't a circus. Damien, who found out about it, is trying to get out of here right now.

"It's okay. With these people, I can't believe I've only got a month left. I'm feeling better. At this rate, I think I'll live for years to come. So let's watch the show tomorrow. You want to watch it, not just me, but your brother, right?

Abby had become so special about the Bells. They were, to her, angels carrying happiness. For the first time since the tough accident, Abby smiled heartily for the first time. Abby never wasted Damian's act because he even came to Trump Circus because of it.

"... ok. Let's do that. But if I can't watch it tomorrow, I'll give it up. Besides, what does Abby want to see first?

"... Summer"

"Huh?"

Damien, hearing Abby's answer, overheard. Damien looks out for a moment because that was so unplugged. What Abby wanted to see was not a show, not an animal, not a thing. What she most wanted to see was “season”.

"I've been here all winter, so I wanted to see the summer. Besides, our name also has Summer. That's what I thought when my legs were still free and I was playing with my brother in the snow. I feel a strange fate in the summer. You have to see summer, I won't die."

Coming all the way through the snow, Abby had an admiration for summer. The inclusion of "Summer" in her own name also meant a great deal to her. Abby has always been fascinated by summers she doesn't know yet.

"Sure... we live in Rottervania and the name has summer. But how do we watch summer?

"The sea. I want to go to the sea. I want to walk barefoot through the waves."

Abby specifically explained the ambiguous phrase "sees summer”. When I say summer, the first thing she comes to mind was the sea. Abby found out about summer in a picture book. What was in that picture book was a blue wave striking the beach. Blue sea and white sandy beach. That was the summer for Abby.

…………

Damien, who hears Abby's true wishes, accidentally shuts up. Abby can't walk right now. Therefore, the desire to walk barefoot through the waves is also inevitably not fulfilled. Damien had a gloomy look on his face.

"I know... that's what I can't wish for. There's no cure for this leg, no matter how much I wish there was magic in this world. But I want to hear the waves hit the sandy beach and feel the summer nearby."

"... Abby's thoughts were conveyed. Let's go to the sea. That too, to the sea of a very large brace river!

Damian takes Abby's heartfelt wishes. He had been by his side the whole time, but he hadn't even noticed how much she yearned for summer. Meet the Bells not only changed Abby's mind, but also her relationship with the Summerbell brothers and sisters. Until now, reluctantly to Damien, who always thinks only of Abby, she was unable to convey her number one wish.

Bres River is one of the world's leading trading cities in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Sertria. Voltaire, where they are now, is western Sertria, so the Great Sea Plains are the furthest away from here in the country.

"Even a sea of Riorg treasures is good ~! Did you know I could swim in the ocean?

"It's common sense that you can swim in the ocean!

"Abby's never been to the ocean, has she? Don't you get it?

Bell, from Port Town, said so as if it were time to inspire bean knowledge. But that's common sense that everyone in the world knows. Belle and Lili were each other from the port town of Riorg in the Union of Limia. Lili seriously disagrees with Bell's statement, which obviously makes a fool of Abby.

"I know!

Abby was smiling when she saw the delightful exchange between Belle and Lili. Even if she had never been to the sea, she naturally knew she could swim in the sea. Abby disagreed with Bell, breathlessly, without laughing.

Even then, Abby smiled again and again when she saw the Bells.
