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

Episode 6: Four Of A Kind/Four Of A Kind

This is a corner of a town. Beneath the clear night sky were several tents of bizarre design. Although its flashness is somewhat suppressed due to the dark surroundings, the tent group had a hidden presence.

Based on its bizarre design, it is presumed that this group of tents belongs to a circus regiment or something, but I don't see a cage that would keep the beast locked up. Plus, the neighborhood was quiet, as if no one was there.

Talks come from one of the tents as silence dominates the neighborhood. It was dark there for some reason, even though it did have people's voices out of the tent. A few people seem to be talking, but they can't see their faces or their appearance. Even though there are people in the tent, there is not one light in any tent. That was a slightly creepy sight.

"There's a troublemaker in the Knights, isn't there?"

Someone said. The voice was like a woman.

"It's really troubling stuff. Why should the Knights, with their powerful Black Mages (Grigori) sesame seeds, jump to gather Black Sarteens?

Someone answers that voice. Apparently they're in a dark tent, talking about Belle Queer Faust.

"They took my prey. Knights of Black Mages (Grigori). It's a real pain in the ass."

And another man says.

"Black Sarteen. What a hug would just cause more trouble. What the hell is Gregorio thinking?"

The next person to utter the word was another woman. So far four different voices have been spoken in this tent.

"It's about being very careful. Even if this is within the power of the Knights. I wanted to step into their territory myself. Whatever happens, you protect yourself..."

And a new voice to be uttered. His voice was different from any other person ever. There will be five people in this tent. What the hell are they doing without looking at each other's faces in this dark?

The moonlight plugged into the tent illuminates the mouth of one of them. What emerged there was a creepy mouth that was like a demon and also like a clown. White teeth are reflecting in the moonlight.

"I'll be busy soon. It's time to sleep plenty..."

It was that creepy-mouthed man who uttered that word.

Finally, I couldn't hear anything from the tent. Once again, silence dominates the tent group. Who the hell are they?

Having completed his visit with the King, Bell was in the captain's office at the Knights headquarters. Fighting in the Amnis desert from morning until sundown, watching at night with the king. It was the bell that only rested during the journey on the airship, but it seems we're still ahead of us to get some rest.

Inside the captain's office, as usual, mysterious figures surround the knighthood captain. Bell approaches toward the purple flame that burns in the center of the room. At the end of the mission, the report would normally be made, but this report was made to the King. You don't have to bother to give Gregorio the same report you did to the king.

Yet, Bell had been called in.

"Faust. Thank you for your first assignment. I know you're tired, but let me give you a new mission."

Gregorio just talked about the requirements when he confirmed that Bell was here in front of him. This was why Bell was called in.

"Ha ⁉ Why! Give me a break!

When he hears that, Bell accidentally complains out loud. Being in contact with Robin all the time during the mission, Bell gained momentum and even bit the Knights Commander. Bell hurriedly blocked his mouth with both hands when he realized that he had spoken of the excess.

"You said," Now don't miss it. What's that businesslike attitude? "

April, paralyzed by Bell's attitude too disrespectful, roughs up his voice. She is also the one who was yelling at Belle when she first met Gregorio. I'm heightening my emotions, but I can't ask her for the look on the hood.

"Easy, April. You're a little over-blooded. Don't make a scene about this. Hey, Faust. I know you're tired. Besides, you didn't seem to go very well with Kafka. The captain told me."

Gregorio contrasts with April and is indispensable for calm at all times.

"haha...... sorry"

Bell could only laugh bitterly.

"Well, let's get down to business. Trump circus. Have you ever heard of him?

"Like I've heard, like I haven't..."

Trump circus. Bell had a slight recollection of the name, but could not recall the details.

"The Trump Circus is a group of black magic (Grimoire) curves that play the world on their crotches. Once the circus is opened, guests will be killed to see its unique artistry. It's such a popular circus that tickets sell out instantly."

Gregorio, who found out that Bell wasn't coming pin by pin, gave a brief explanation of the Trump Circus.

"............... I understand about Trump Circus. How does that relate to your next assignment?

Seeing Gregorio a little out of the ordinary, Belle was puzzled. So far, I still don't know what my next assignment involves with the Trump Circus.

"The Trump Circus is home to the Black Mage (Grigori). Ace de Spade, Queen Hart, Jack Diamond and King Clover. And Captain P.T. Joker, who partitions them"

"You can talk about the Trump Circus. Tell me about your next mission."

"Because the Trump Circus has a lot to do with our next mission, we're explaining it. Shut up and listen. They do use a variety of black magic (Grimoire) and have a variety of arts and crafts that visually entertain people.

Therefore, it is whispered that they may be members of the world's famous Black Mage (Grigori) organization. There are so many rumors that you might be part of the Knights of our Black Mages. "

"Rumors...... is it?

The Trump Circus seems to be heavily involved in Bell's next assignment.

"So rumored is due in part to the fact that they're hiding who they are. Neither is the name I mentioned earlier their real name. Something like a code name, so to speak. That enigmatic part is what causes all sorts of rumors. I don't even know who they are."

The Trump Circus is a mysterious group, whose identities and strengths are unknown in any way. That mysterious element was also one of the reasons for their popularity.

"It's time to get into the subject of the mission. The purpose of this one is to escort the Trump Circus. They are supposed to open a circus next week in Voltaire in the Kingdom of Serbia. The circus is scheduled for a week. In the meantime, I was asked to protect the circus and their property."

Speaking of Voltaire, the town of immigrants where Leonardo Gatsby lived. This is the first owner of the cursed chair that Bell encountered in Adford. Voltaire, the town of immigrants, is a town inhabited by a large number of people who have emigrated from outside of Sertria.

"If the members of the Knights of the Black Mages are in the circus, don't you need our escort?

Bell questioned.

"That's just a rumor. That's why they asked us to escort them, because there are no members of the Knights of the Black Mages."

Gregorio dispelled Bell's doubts. The story just now is only a rumor, not so certain as to be true or false.

"I see... does that mean I should put it on that Trump Circus escort for a week?

"That's what I'm going to say. It's just, you're not on a mission alone."

As Gregorio said, when members of the Knights of the Black Mages (Grigori) go on a mission, they are bound to work with someone in pairs (two-man cells).

Gregorio sent a hand signal towards the corner of the room. The last time Buddy and I came into the captain's office together, but this time Buddy was already waiting for Bell here.

"Judy ⁉ə"

It was undoubtedly Judy who showed up out of the dark.

"What is it? Are you complaining about us?

Judy has an unfloating look when she sees Bell who can't hide her surprise.

"... I hope you don't mind getting fucked twice in a row."

"Ahn ⁉ What the fuck? What did you just say?"

Judy didn't miss hearing about the discontent Bell had leaked whispering. She is staring at the bell in the shape of a ghost.

"Nothing... it's tinnitus, right?

Bell diverted the dialogue Judy had said before just because it was here. Belle looks at Judy with a clear face.

"Don't lick me, Cora..."

Judy is laughing, but her eyes aren't laughing.

"Is that all you care about?

"... sorry, disturbed"

Gregorio opened his mouth, watching the two of them in silence until now. Judy, listening to the Knights Commander, was suddenly shy of turning a bright red on his face. I say before Knight, I say before Gregorio, and she seems inclined to forget me in front of the person at hand.

"This mission starts in a week, come to Ship Port in the morning a week from now"

When Gregorio said so, a piece of paper appeared like a ticket neglectfully and descended into the palm of Belle and Judy.

The pieces of paper said “Knights only airship boarding pass Voltaire flight departure time: 5/22 9: 00 PM".
