Kuro no Senki

Late January of Empire Calendar 431, it's not strange if it snows as usual, but this was the first dry winter in years.

Whenever the wind blows, dead grass plays a tidy sound, and the surface of an artificial pond half-closed in ice ripples.

Nor is it impossible to transform a desolate garden into a full of life with the use of the divine art 'Activity'.

It seems that some nobles and merchants have made substantial donations to the 'Temple' to boast of their financial strength, causing flowers to bloom in the winter.

It's not bad to love flowers in the winter, but this is something interesting, Leonhardt said, walking alone through the gardens of the Palatium mansion.

Spend time alone and without reason.

That is an extravagant use of time for Leonhardt, who is heavily responsible as head of the First Kingsguard Knights.

"Damn, I got you!

……

Are you even wearing thick, plumper than I remember, Leela slammed up the apron dress hem and walked over to Zukazka and Leonhardt.

"It's cold since I wore it thinly."

……

Leela clawed ahead and rubbed Leonhardt's cheek from left to right as she was about to warm up.

The fingertips being tortured by housework did not convey a pleasant feeling to flatter, but it was not uncomfortable.

"Damn, Master Leonhardt is no good. I'm on vacation around the corner, so I'm not in a cage at the mansion, so why don't we go out and play?"

"Is Leela out on her day off?

"I just took a breath in the new town a couple of days ago. The traveler was playing a play and Leonhardt was out."

"I'm not in a play or anything?

"What Ola is saying is that the play's... role? In a role. Yeah? There's Leonhardt in the role."

Leonhardt asked, Leela bragged her chest out.

"I was surprised because I didn't know how Master Leonhardt fought. I almost cried when I stood up to the army to protect Alford."

"... I see"

Apparently, the upside of the war is a play after being arranged for someone to be convenient.

"... don't be too soon"

It's not uncommon for a traveler to perform an actual case as a play, but not a week after Leonhardt's return to the Imperial City.

In such a short period of time, there is no way that a single traveler can reach a level where he can write scripts, carry out archaeology, and perform.

Then it would be the military bureau or Chancellor Alcor's strategy.

With some exceptions from the poles, the imperial subjects have no direct influence over politics, but if the people are anxious, the economy will be disrupted and security will deteriorate if the imperial soldiers are judged to be weak soldiers.

Humans are strange creatures, of a nature that, no matter how brave knights or soldiers, are let into the atmosphere around them.

If anxiety propagates, it goes to the weak soldier, if the will is exalted, it goes to the strong, and if the military rules are loose, it takes action accordingly.

In short, creating an atmosphere… trying to reassure the people in an easy to understand way: play.

Of course, weave information that's convenient for you.

It would be easier for me if Chancellor Alcor was just trying to reassure the people, but Leonhardt narrowed his eyes.

"... Leela, was there a man named Chrono in that play?

"Chrono?

Leela leaned her neck strangely.

Leonhardt was convinced that the play was Chancellor Alcor's measure.

If a travel artist is going to play, he's going to choose Chrono.

Because the audience is not noble, they are civilians.

Why did Lizad go to the dead end? Chrono looks up at the ceiling and thinks about it.

Passing the back of the brain is the end of Lizad.

Lisado didn't stop walking, receiving countless spears.

"... Shapely"

The final words were too short to look into Lizad's chest.

Numerous deaths pass the back of the brain.

Leo blown his head off with a spear.

Baked and killed woman elf.

Spears, elves and beasts killed in divine art.

Dead Horus with his eyes open.

"Gu...... uuuuuuu"

One battlefield sight after another flashes back, and Chrono squeezes his fist to withstand a wave of wild emotions.

"" Dear Chrono!

He opened the door to the room and dived into Chrono, where Deneb and Aridead suffer in bed.

"Look, look, wake up, wake up"

"Yes, yes! If Master Chrono doesn't wake up, we won't be able to clear our jobs."

Deneb and Aridead in apron dresses slapped him off the bed, and Chrono stood up with it.

Krono is located in Crawford Mansion's private quarters in the fourth neighborhood of the Imperial City of Alfilc.

We have to go through a lot of procedures, so we're postponing our return to the Marquis of Elakis.

There was no reason to be absent from the Arbitrage Award at Alfilc Castle today.

"... Deneb, Aridead"

"" What?

Deneb and Aridead rested their hands and stared at Chrono.

Why, Lizad...

I tried to cast that doubt on you, but I couldn't say anything while you two were staring at me.

"No, it's nothing."

Leaving that behind, Krono left the room and headed to the dining room.

When I walked into the dining room, my deputy and adoptive father were dining across the street.

The deputy is staying at Crawford Mansion as an escort to Crano.

I was in the stables, the deputy said, but my adoptive father stuck to his opinion and prepared a room as a guest.

Admiral, how are you feeling? '(Bubba?

"Don't worry too much about your men."

Approaching the table, the deputy and adoptive father spoke to Chrono.

"Boy, how do you like your meal?

"... lightly"

Yes, I did, and Myra greeted me back to the kitchen with a compliment.

"Still don't get your appetite back?

Yeah, and Chrono nodded small.

I don't have an appetite, and if I can't, I'm gonna throw up.

Don't fall in the middle of a merit prize.

"I think that's okay"

"Boy, it's soup"

Including the soup served to Myra in her mouth, the smell of iron spread.

Tastes and smells like blood.

An illusion, he told himself, and Chrono poured the soup into his stomach.

"Boy, get ready to climb the castle"

"... ok"

When I returned to my room, there was no sign of Deneb and Aridead.

"If it's those two, we'll be cleaning the stables."

"How are you two doing?

Phew... and Myra exhaled a long, long sigh.

"I've been working on developing maids for a long time, but I've never seen a bad maid that far. If you clean, you flip the bucket, if you cook, you pick, if you let them shop, you mislead the change, if at night, you try to sneak into Boy's bed."

Myra held her temples with her fingers so she could have a headache.

"Oh, even, take me, if, with Baba!

……

I'm a fine grandmother from a human sensation, but I guess there's something like a woman-specific psychology working around there.

"Yeah, well, I'm a sixty year old grandma! It's been sunny for the last twenty years! You know, I've got grandchildren. Yo! So, but you've been busy pioneering the southern border, so you don't have a choice!

"Myra is someone with a strong desire to marry?

"No, nothing."

When Chrono inquired, Myra turned and turned to her true face.

"I'd like to ask, just in case, what are the terms of your marriage?

"I don't pay attention to my age, but it would help if my annual income was two thousand and five hundred gold coins"

What do you care about the high hurdles?

When I say two thousand and five hundred gold coins a year, it is the lower nobility level of land ownership.

"If you say so, so will you, son."

The eyes of Girari and Myra emit the light of a hungry beast.

"... chip"

As Chrono panicked and put on his military uniform, Myra glanced blatantly at him and pounded his tongue.

Alfort's messenger, the Twelfth Knights, came to pick up Chrono in a two-headed boxcarriage.

It was the first time a royally-owned carriage ran through Fourth Street, and the perimeter of Crawford Mansion was overflowing with wild horses.

Deneb and Aridead gladly dropped me off, but Chrono didn't feel proud.

When the carriage arrived at Alphirk Castle, the guidance ahead from there was a woman's job.

Led by a woman with a clear feeling, Krono finally arrived during the sight.

During the sight, Leonhardt, Earl of El Nato, Rio, Count of Pisce, and the surviving battalion captain stood before the door.

"Hey, Chrono."

"Whoa, Marquis Elakis!

Pushing back Rio, who tried to walk over, Count Pisce squeezed Chrono's hand.

"Count Pisce, thank you for that verse"

"No, no, I just kept the promise I made with the Marquis Elakis."

"No, thanks to you, it helped"

I felt like I had to fake this.

Even though it was not included in the scope of the commitment, my men were appropriately treated thanks to Count Pisce's placement of doctors and herbs at a front-line base under the direct jurisdiction of the Nouzi Empire.

"Count Pisce, would you mind not interrupting the encounter between your lovers?

"Ko, lover!

As Rio drooped Chrono, Count Pisce held his butt with both hands before retreating.

"I don't mean to interrupt people's love paths, but shouldn't I be able to give you a little bit of a break?

"I know."

Leonhardt pointed out, Rio pointing his lips out dissatisfied and away from Chrono.

"Lord Chrono, do you seem pale?

I don't have an appetite.

"Hmm, if you don't mind, I'll let you deliver my favorite incense tea? It's sedative. Perfect for calming down."

"Just the feelings"

Leonhardt slapped Chrono on the shoulder like he would labor, returning to his original position.

"Count El Nato"

Lord Chrono.

When Chrono saluted, Count Ernato responded with a salute.

"Thank you then"

I'm not thankful.

Count Ernato stroked Chrono's head and gave him a gentle grin.

"May I?

As Count Pisce nodded, the guard pushed the door between his glances.

The door opens with a heavy sound.

It was a killer landscape during the sight.

Only a crimson carpet stretching in a straight line and a throne placed a step higher are large enough to fit the Crawford Mansion on Fourth Street.

However, the floor is polished up like a mirror and the throne doesn't smell like poverty because it is so elaborately crafted that I wonder if that would be the only property.

On both sides of the carpet stood the nobles of the court, and around the throne were the top of the empire and six thought… the four would be, in due course, the chief of the Imperial Army, the treasurer, the chief scribe, and the chief of the palace.

The remaining two consolidate the left and right sides of the throne.

One was a woman about the same age as the general and the other an old man with a bald head.

This is just a prediction, too, but the woman would be Alfort's mother, and the bald old man would be Chancellor Alcor.

Surrounded by the heavy towns of the Empire, Alfort lay deeply down on the throne with a convulsive grin.

The word "tiger of a tendon" comes to mind easily.

Well, I guess I didn't expect to be in charge of the contents.

Proceed over the carpet and poke one knee moderately away from Alfort.

Count Pisce, report.

"Ha, Chancellor Alcor"

Bald headed old man...... urged by Chancellor Alcor, Count Pisce reported this battle...... Alfort's parental march.

The fact is quite distorted because I can't report that Alfort was devastated by the bonfire on the boulder.

Still, I guess the reason they don't get stuck is because they've got roots done.

I am reminded that I run a territory, but this rooting… I will talk to all concerned in advance… can be important for things to go smoothly.

"Um, you have to reward the exceptionally successful."

Chancellor Alcor stared at Chrono and narrowed his eyes.

"... the Marquis of Elakis served as His Highness in this battle, and his work led His Highness Alfort to return safely to the Imperial Capital. Therefore I give Count Cad the realm."

"Ha, thank you Happy"

Count Cado territory is west of the Marquis of Elakis territory… the area is less than half that of the Marquis of Elakis territory, not as remote as the southern border thirty years ago, but only dotted with small fishing villages.

There's no reason to act big in a losing battle, and there's no reason not to reward you.

Such a heart seemed clear.

"... Well, I just finished the fight"

Talking about the next war, Krono made his body stretch.

"On this occasion a Treaty of Reconciliation was signed with the Kingdom of Holy Argo"

In the words of Chancellor Alcor, Chrono turned bright white in his head.

What are you talking about, T'Terunda?

"As we all know, there have been countless skirmishes near the border with the Holy Argo Kingdom. Let's just say this battle was an indication of discomfort."

It is unlikely that the Treaty of Reconciliation will be concluded after less than two weeks.

But if negotiations were underway without Chrono and the others' knowledge, there would be an explanation of who the discomfort was on the battlefield.

War is a pile of plain harassment.

There were countless other things to do, to get the soldiers together, to train them, but I was only given a prep period of about a month.

The elements of the pile have gone too far.

Now I know, but I didn't mean to occupy the city of Malcab from the beginning.

Even if it were to occupy the city of Malcab, it would have set an appropriate pretext to refuse replenishment and create a situation that had to be withdrawn.

Because the purpose of Chancellor Arcol was harmony with the Holy Kingdom of Argo, not a muddy war. In addition, he even made the achievements necessary for Alfort to succeed to the throne by making him sign a pact of harmony.

Everything was just as this old man thought.

We fought desperately without even knowing we were pawns on the board.

I pushed my fear to death, covered my guilt, and worked out a plan with one heart that I didn't want my men to die.

Still, I kept letting my men die without extending.

Claws peeled off squeezing the carpet and red tears flowed like blood.

Let's kill them, let's kill these guys.

A big hand held Chrono's head down as he tried to stand up.

It was Count El Nato's hand.

Bear with me, Lord Chrono.

"... Huh!

It was at Crawford Mansion, past Crano's brain, in the presence of his men awaiting Crano's return in the territory.

"... eh, Marquis Elakis, Ko, what do you think of this reconciliation?

Chrono looked up at Alfort quietly, desperately, with a grin.

"And the people will be thankful for Master Alford's English break"

A farce.

My men are dead for such farce.

"Wow, my men must also be proud to have been the foundation of peace"

That can't be right.

You must have wanted to live.

You didn't want to die.

How can I be proud of being thrown away like that?

Chrono drooped his head and continued to shake his shoulders.

Memories were vague until I returned to Crawford Mansion.

When I realized it was Crono's feeling that he was standing in the front yard of the Crawford Mansion.

How long have you been mocking me?

"" Welcome home, Master Chrono!

Hugged by Deneb and Aridead, Chrono groveled.

"Master Chrono, you're fine."

"You haven't been well in a long time."

The two let go of their bodies and looked up at Chrono.

"You know, Master Chrono... I know we're all sick of death."

"I don't know about the new men, but we're here for Master Chrono."

Don't ask, something was whispering in the corner of my head.

I'm sure if I ask, I won't be able to go back.

"If it's for Master Chrono, he'll die."

"If it's Master Krono, he'll do" Sekaijin Kensengen "."

Hih! and screamed small, and Chrono thrust Deneb and Aridead.

"Ouch! Asan no!

"At the corner, we decided to look good."

Oh, yeah.

All this time, I kept looking away.

At that time, I kept diverting my attention from the influence that 'Sekaijinkensengen' said to retain Leila.

Why did Lizad go to the dead end?

That's easy.

I'm the ideal... because I've taught you a world where everyone can live indefinitely.

Only once, a vomited word drove my men to the dead.

No, I even let Deneb and Aridead decide to die.

As Tilia said, Chrono...... Kurono Kumitsu, who got into this world, was poison.

It's a virus that pollutes the thoughts of others to death.

"" Master Chrono?

"Hi-no... ahhh!

Chrono ran away from Deneb and Aridead in an odd voice.

I don't remember where or how I ran.

Run, run, run with one heart wanting to escape this nightmarish reality, caught by a chimp and thrown in an alley by a bumpy mention.

They even stole my wallet.

Instead of running away from the nightmare, I couldn't even get out of the Empire.

Chrono laughed because his dwarfiness was strange.

My men died for me like this, and I couldn't stop crying.

I cried laughing.

Would he die if he stayed asleep? and looked up into the sky, someone was looking down at Chrono.

Boy, no, is it a girl?

Maybe younger than fifteen.

He had shallow black skin and his eyesight seemed sharp.

Dark brown hair was as short as a boy, the clothes he was wearing were worn out, and the body line was sharp.

On her knees, the girl explored Chrono's clothes.

"... they just stole my wallet and I don't have any gold eyes."

"Oh, my God, he's alive."

The girl struck her tongue and left Chrono, returning as she had come to pick up her forgotten things.

"Why are you sleeping in here?

"... missed out on reality"

"I don't know why."

The girl sat on the ground with Chrono on her back instead.

"Well, I don't know if you want to run away."

The girl struck her tongue.

"Are you a soldier?

"... yes, I am"

Chrono replied, the girl nodded not interested in you hearing from herself.

"What about you?

"I'm an orphan, orphan"

The girl looked up into the sky silently.

"You don't have to be sympathetic. There are a lot of kids like me looking for Empire City, and being sympathetic doesn't change anything."

The girl scratched up her hair and sighed.

"If they hadn't stolen my wallet, I could have given you the money."

……

The girl punched Chrono in silence.

"I told you not to sympathize! I still earn my own food support!

"Sorry."

"Well, I hope you understand."

You didn't think Chrono would honestly apologize, the girl caged her mouth.

"Look, what reality did you want to escape from? Oh, if it's hard to answer, you don't have to."

My men are dead.

Phew, and the girl nodded not interested.

"Is that what you care about?

"... Huh!

Her head turned bright white, and when she noticed, Chrono was grabbing the girl's chest.

"I killed him! Without even thinking about it, my men died because I spoke of values that do not exist in this world!

Chrono took his hand off the girl.

"... my surviving men will die for me, too."

"I don't know, isn't that what you care about?

The girl said in a flat tone as she corrected the messy outfit.

"You didn't tell me to die for me, did you? Then your men died for you of their own free will."

"If I hadn't spoken of my ideals, I might not have died. If you don't have to die, get married, have kids... if you're alive"

"... you liked your men."

Chrono looked up to the girl's words.

"No?

"It's not."

I... liked Leo, Horus, and Lizard.

I can't forgive you for being discriminated against on the grounds that you're subhuman?

I'm not.

I didn't like the fact that people I liked were discriminated against.

Oh, yeah.

That time, I saw Layla smiling sadly, and I thought I had to stop.

Wasn't the Universal Declaration of Human Rights a pretext for that?

There were zero tears.

To Leo, to Horus, I missed Lizado.

I missed my dead men.

I wanted to meet him and tell him I liked him.

But they're not here.

He's dead.

My heart ached.

Chrono haired and cried aloud.

How long would you have been crying?

When Chrono looked up, the girl had her eyes bright red.

"I'm not crying!

"I know, I know."

Chrono brutally wiped his eyes with his sleeves and slowly rose.

"I don't know what to say, but I'm an idiot."

"Yeah, I know somehow."

What can I do for them that I love?

They wanted a world where everyone could live indefinitely.

That is also what Chrono wants.

Then there's only one answer.

Chrono walked out to drag his painful body,

"My name is Chrono. And you?"

"I'm Verna, just Verna."

Also, I didn't say I wanted to see you.

Chrono walks like a drag on his body and slowly increases his speed.

My body hurts.

But from the back of my body, the heat overflows.

The thin dirty city looks beautiful.

I felt fresh air conceived of the smell.

Back at Crawford Mansion, he stood in front of the gate feeling like Deneb and Aridead had soaked him.

"Deneb, Aridead!

"" Ku, Master Chrono!

When Krono held her full strength, Deneb and Aridead opened their eyes as surprised and turned their hands on Krono's back as if they had said they were terrified.

"Sorry about earlier"

"Because you don't have to apologize"

"It's like you want me to take care of a wound."

"I finally realized. I... I like you guys."

"" Ugh!

Deneb and Aridead raised an odd voice and left Chrono.

"At last, this is the time!

"... Huh!

Aridead looked nasty and disfigured, and Deneb stared at Chrono with a look that still seemed to cry.

Admiral, are you back? '(Bubba?

"Welcome home, boy"

"Mr. Minot, Myra, I like you!

"" Huh?

Chrono tried to hug Myra with his deputy standing in front of the door screaming.

Bumowo! and the deputy jumped away with an unconvertible scream even on the Magic Item.

What? is the voice of Deneb and Aridead.

"... I wonder if this is the first time in twenty years that I've been held so passionately. There's a difference in age, but if Boy asks for it, I won't have the art of rejecting it. Sir, forgive me. Myra is a weak woman."

"You don't have to blame me."

Is it also a guilty place, my adoptive father, who came out, said as he turned away from Myra.

"Dad!"

"... you don't have to hug me."

Away from Myra, Chrono looked up to his adoptive father.

"Looks like you're back on your feet."

"Maybe...... but I think I'll keep worrying"

My adoptive father stared at Chrono with his nostalgic eyes.

"Well, sometimes I worry a lot about trying to accomplish something. It would be more unfortunate to have other lives at stake."

My adoptive father brutally stroked Chrono's head.

"To be honest, I thought you were getting away. Whatever, you think your people are like buddies somewhere. I thought I couldn't take my men's deaths. The values you cultivated in your world... are plagued in this world. They're not the only ones around, they're going to erode you."

"Master Chrono is not sick!

"Death for Master Chrono is our decision!

When Deneb and Aridead screamed, his adoptive father scratched his head to say that he had come.

"Besides, I'm unconscious of myself, so I can't bear to end it. Okay? My son is just following his values. It's not ideal. In the first place, he didn't think about it until now."

""... Huh!

Deneb and Aridead stared at Chrono as if he were smiling.

"You can turn back now, can't you?

……

Chrono's answer had been decided.

In February of the Empire Calendar four hundred and thirty-one, the city of Hashel...... Leila was waiting for Chrono in front of the gate.

I'm not being informed when I'll be back.

I didn't promise to wait.

Yet when she realizes, Leila's legs are facing the city gate and she keeps waiting until the sun goes down and the gate closes.

"... snow?

Laila looked up at the lead sky, saying that it would be late for Master Chrono to be returned once he had landed.

But the snow fell from the next… Leila's eyes caught a single boxcarriage when she covered the ground thinly.

Dokun and heart beat jump.

Gutsy of the urge to run over to the carriage, Leila waited for that time.

The carriage stops in front of the gate and slowly, slowly, Chrono descends to the ground.

He weaves a rubbed cloak of hem on a black based military uniform.

"Master Chrono!

"Layla?"

When Leila hugged him, Chrono held me back in confusion.

"... I was worried, I was"

"Sorry. I just wanted to come home a little sooner."

As Chrono turned his gaze, the boxcarriage ran out towards the Marquis' residence.

"Shall we walk a little?

"Yes."

Chrono's arm slowly turns over Leila's shoulder leaning against her.

That alone makes Leila's heart beat faster like an early bell.

Leo, Horus, Lizad...... I am delighted to return Chrono knowing that many other people are dying and are in grief.

Though I think it's shallow, Layla couldn't contain the joy.

"... there's something I have to apologize to Leila for"

"What, what?

Leila noticed that Chrono's hand was trembling.

"Remember the first time we met?

"Yes."

"At that time, I... tried to hold you accountable."

"... Yes, I was aware"

Chrono had eyes full of dark joy then.

Leila had realized that was a similar sentiment to appeasement when the weak found the weaker than herself.

That's why I decided I should apologize.

"If you were aware, how could you?

"Because Master Chrono loved me so much that I thought the gaze he directed at me at that time might have been some mistake."

No, and Layla shook her head.

"Maybe I was just scared."

Running seems to exist in love, but this is not even a rush.

"Is Master Chrono trying me?

"No, I'm not. Maybe I was scared too."

Whatever?

Leila realizes that the relationship now is the result of her running without thinking about how Chrono feels.

Both myself and Chrono were timid and distracted from facts that were inconvenient to them.

"Sorry, Layla. I love you."

"Yes, I love Master Chrono too"

Khan, the sound of a hammer with Khan echoes in the Marquis Mansion.

"Layla, will you stay by my side?

"Absolutely."

In the hall of the Marquis mansion stood the deputy, Deneb, Aridead, Gordi, Tyga, Shilo, Hylo, Kane, Faye, the general, Elena and Zion.

Chrono stood before them and repeated his deep breath.

"... I have something to tell you all"

Chrono's tension seemed to come from a slightly sweaty palm.

"I love the Kepheus Empire, but I hate it."

Even the quiet hall is dominated by further silence.

"I don't like it. I hate empires that scorn them because they are civilians, because they are subhuman. I don't like slavery either."

So, Chrono went on.

"I'm going to change this country for you. I'm going to make it a country with just the same value and meaning, where we can't separate the subpeople, the civilians, the nobles."

"Are you insane?

"Unfortunately"

Krono answered Kane's question with a bitter laugh.

"It's easy to say that I'm going to change this country, but what are you going to do?

"The basic route is intact. enrich the territory with agricultural reform and trade. If industry is activated, jobs will be created, and if the foundations of life are stabilized, the status of subpeople and civilians will be improved."

"When you say that, you feel like it's going to be easy."

"You can't do that! Simply put, I can't believe how hard you tried to change this country just to be one of the Lords of the Border! Even if it works, it's Ami Motoki for your grandchildren!

Elena put her arms together great and turned away from Chrono.

"... if you're seriously going to change this country, you're going to have to be an emperor"

"Yeah, I think we're going for the Emperor."

Chrono said in an unusual tone.

"I'm going to hit a lot of different hands. Some of them include taking part in wars and gaining martial arts."

Again the hall calmed down.

There is no guarantee that the Empire will change even if you give your life. If only one life is enough to be scattered on the battlefield, we should live in peace under the asylum of Chrono.

But I think.

How wonderful would it be if we could have created such a country?

"... Dear Chrono"

Leila stepped away from Chrono and poked one knee.

"I'll be by your side any minute."

"We've been crossed!

When Faye poked one knee on the spot, deputy officers, Deneb, Aridead, Tyga, Shilo and Hylo continued.

"... oh, shit. You should have slept with him if he was going to talk like this. Oh, fuck you."

"You want to be stupid, you want to laugh, be clear."

As Kane slammed one knee cursing something, Elena said in a voice that seeped disgust.

"So, what are you gonna do?

"I'm not interested in the vagaries of changing this country. But I'm his property now, and it's not funny to throw a job out on the way, and I don't have a choice from the start. In your way, he's a jerk."

"I'm going to pay off my debts."

"... I am"

Elena and the damsel maintained the status quo, and Zion failed to come up with a clear answer.

"What we're about to start is an invisible battle ahead. I don't see how much effort I should spend or how much sacrifice I should make. I don't know if it pays off. You can't expect God to protect you."

It's an exhaustive battle. In the first place, we're not even sure it's a battle in the general sense.

Leila thinks as she looks up at Chrono.

We were sheltered by Master Krono and we fought to get away from that asylum.
