Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

◆ Dark Knight Croki

The kingdom of the gods, Ellios. The Ellios is a country in the sky built to float in the clouds at the top of Mount Ellios, the tallest mountain in the world.

There are three ways to get into this Ellios: one way to fly into the sky, the second way to climb and enter the mountain, and the third way to get into the mountain from the basement.

It's not easy to get in on any route.

The first is obvious, but if there is no way to fly, and if there is no permission from the Holy Knights to serve the god Audis to enter from the sky, they will be killed just by approaching.

The second is that Mt. Ellios is sometimes a steep mountain, but the large tree sea at the foot of Mt. Ellios has an elf kingdom. We need elf permission to enter the woods.

The third tunnel is protected by the dwarf and cannot enter without the dwarf's permission.

The route I am trying to take is the third underground route.

When the vision is shaken, it turns into a room different from the previous room. The magic team at my feet still left a little light.

"Lord Dario, where are we?

"This is a shrine on the outskirts of the tree sea, Lord Dihart. You can get to your destination from the tunnel in the back."

The man who answered me was tall up to his shoulders, but he was a big man twice next to him.

Dwarf. That's what he says.

They live longer than humans and are better at blacksmithing. Dwarves make the best tools in the world.

Such dwarves have good friends with Haybos, the god of the demon kings Modes and dwarves, and many enter and leave Nargor. Nargor has a lot of mineral resources, so it's probably good for a dwarf.

Dario is one of the dwarves who enters and leaves Nargor and guides himself to Ellios.

The reason I came to Ellios was to meet Haybos God, the lowest of Ellios. To get new armor in place of armor that had become blurry in battle with Raige and the others.

Well, shall we go?

Dario starts walking when he says so.

There seems to be a tunnel in the back of the shrine where you can go to the Dwarf kingdom.

Let's go, Kuna.

I look at the side and encourage Kuna, who is hugging me.

Kuna nods without answering. Then, a black headscarf with a hidden face was shaken and the silver forehair and white face were slightly visible.

I started walking with Kuna.

Kuna won't let go of her arms, making it a little difficult to walk, but she can't stand it.

A beautiful and cute girl adores her. It is decided that it is okay if it is difficult to walk for a while.

Have you ever been loved by such a cute girl in the first place?

It may be natural for me to like myself because I am a goddess who made it for me, but when I looked at the kuna that was made, it didn't matter.

Thinking about the past, various things come up.

"Kuroki... are you crying?

Kuna asks me to peek into her face from below. The technique is cute.

"No... it's just a runny nose coming out of my eyes. Come on, Kuna."

As you walk, you go out to a place where a small boat with a strange shape is placed in the aisle.

"Lord Dihart, I'm going to take this from here."

"For this? Dario."

Nothing is floating in the water. It's just that the boat is in the aisle.

"Fufufu, well, just try it on and you'll see."

Dario laughs.

Dario and Kuna will take the lead on the boat.

Suddenly, when they get on, the boat comes up.

"Oops!!

I make an unexpected voice.

When the boat rises, it proceeds straight ahead.

I don't know, the Dark Knight would be amazed.

Dario laughs.

"Yes, I'm surprised."

I answer honestly.

The technology of this world surprises me. In a way, I am more developed than the world I was in.

The boat is advancing fairly fast.

Above this tunnel is already a sanctuary. The sanctuary is basically accessible only to the tribes of Angels, Elves, and Dwarves recognized by the gods of Ellios. Not to mention that I am the enemy of Ellios, Nargor. I'm sorry if I was found by someone other than the dwarf.

The boat continues. Since the sanctuary was wide, the tunnel underneath it was also quite long, and the boat was advancing at a considerable speed, but the end was not seen.

Originally, it was faster to move with Transfer Magic, but for defensive reasons, the entire Sanctuary is enchanted with Transfer Magic, so we can only proceed with the Sanctuary by this means.

About an hour in time, I can finally see the exit.

When the boat stops, they get off the boat, and this time they go into a small passage.

Through the hallway, you'll go out into a wide area.

Various lights illuminate us. The aisle was bright and lit, but the light in this place is different.

The city is colored with various lights, such as red and green and yellow, making you forget that this is the basement.

Beautifully decorated everywhere in the city, it is illuminated by various lights to create a fantastic sight.

"Oops!! This is again....."

I shout with admiration at the sight I saw for the first time.

Dario looks satisfied when he sees his face.

"Welcome, Dark Knight Dihart. This is not the Dwarf capital, Vernd."

◆ Dark Knight Croki

Underneath the sanctuary of Mount Ellios, Dwarf's capital, Vernd, is a city created by gathering the best of magic.

Throughout the city, where several levels overlap, there are no moving floors or ropes, but there are stones that rise and fall like elevators, connecting the various areas of the city. This is something that is not in the human world. There is no doubt that dwarfs have magic skills far advanced than humans in this world.

And the exterior of the city is colored with magical technology sparkling gems everywhere, and its seven colors of light illuminate roads and buildings with beautiful decorations. And because it is designed to be just the right size in the basement, it does not make you feel the narrowness.

There are about 20,000 dwarves living in Vernd. Even though the number of dwarves is much smaller than that of humans, it is a small number in the capital. However, this city, the knee of Haybos, the god of engineering, is of special significance to the dwarves.

Walking along the road, you pass by dozens of dwarves. Naturally, it is the capital of the dwarf.

But when you walk, you cross paths with people who are not dwarfs. I wondered if anyone other than Dwarf lived there, but it wasn't a living thing. She has a body that looks like a round cylinder on her cheeky face. Probably a golem made by the dwarves.

Golems are moving dolls made from rocks, wood, iron, and more. It's the same robot in the original world.

The Golems feed the dwarves and clean the roads.

I heard about Golem from Lugus. Golems are used in a variety of applications, ranging from combat to housework.

The Golem I'm cleaning right now is probably for cleaning.

Speaking of which, there was a giant steel doll at the transfer of the shrine, but it could also be a golem.

Probably a combat golem to defeat the unauthorized. If Dario hadn't been with us, it might have been a big deal.

"You don't sound surprised, Dihart."

Dario looks at himself and says.

"Yes, Lord Dario. Even though it's underground, I'm amazed by the Dwarves who make this city."

Dario is pleased with his honest feelings.

"Fufufufu. But, Dihart. That's all I'm surprised about. It's time to get ready."

Dario puts his face back a little seriously.

I nod.

Kuna, hide your face.

Instead of talking at all until then, he urged Kuna, who was walking with a gaze on her arm.

"Yeah."

Kuna wears a headscarf and hides her face.

They rode on a rising stone to a considerably higher level. We must move carefully from here.

Beyond this is Dwarf's workshop, the most important district in Vernd.

And beyond this workshop, there is the workshop of Haybos God.

They enter the workshop area. Unlike places where decorations had been made up to that point, it was a killing scene, but a practical scene was spreading.

There are many dwarves in this workshop who are particularly difficult, so don't make too much noise.

Also, some dwarves in this workshop don't like women, so it would have been better not to bring Kuna, but Kuna didn't want to leave herself, and she was worried about leaving Kuna in Nargor after all.

Regina, the former princess of Argoa, had something to do with her anxiety.

Rijena, whom she picked up in the Akelon Mountains, became her own maid at the Demon King Castle.

And Kuna seems to hate Rijena. Not like Rijena, but it seems that Kuna hates Rijena unilaterally, so I was worried about leaving the castle without Kuna. That's why I brought Kuna.

They leave the workshop quietly. I was interested in what the dwarves were doing in this workshop, but it seems that some people are very reluctant to enter their own space, so I put up with it.

Then you exit the workshop and head upstairs.

That was a strange room.

A variety of ores, tools, and paper are arranged in a place where it is not clear whether the room is small or large, confusing the viewer.

This was the workshop of Haybos God. If so, this is the boundary between Verndo and Ellios. According to the story, Haybos God is the lowest place in Ellios and lives in the highest place in Verndo.

They advance to the workshop of Haybos God.

Then I went out a little wider. There was a man there. A body like a fluffy beard creates a weak impression on the viewer, but the gaze from the muscles of the arm and the lateral face makes the eye feel sharp and pressured.

"God Hayboss. I took the Dark Knight with me."

Dario thanked the man. That way, this man is definitely Haybos God.

Haybos, God sees us.

A sharp eye catches itself. Haybos says God is not good at fighting, but his eyes are good for warriors.

"I'll see you for the first time, Haybo...."

No greetings, Dark Knight Dihart.

Trying to thank and say hello is blocked.

"You must be begging Dario to teach you. Can I see that sword?

Haybos God gives out his hand.

Give me the little sword I had in my pocket.

Small swords are shorter than common long swords and slightly longer than short swords.

This dagger was learned by Dario and made by himself.

Hayboss God pulls out a small sword and reveals his black body.

"That's all Hayboss knows. I know more than to spin a hundred words."

Haybos looked at the sword with a glance. The sword uses its own black flame as it learns from Dario and is finally finished despite many failures.

It was also difficult to find materials that could withstand the black flames, and it was difficult to apply or reduce the force when making the sword, resulting in a lot of debris.

The resulting dagger was forged by a black flame, so the body of the sword glowed black and the sharpness was quite good.

I think it is a good product, but I am not sure if it is enough to be shown to the God of Engineers.

"Hmm, I see... You're doing pretty well. But wait a minute."

In that case, Haybos God leaves his seat when he says so. And when he came back for a while, he didn't have the little sword he gave him, but he had another pretty little sword.

"Here."

Hayboss God gives himself a dagger.

I take the little sword in my hand.

"Pull it out and see."

Pulling the small sword out of the sheath reveals the black body of the sword.

"This is...."

I make a surprise.

"Yes, it's a sword made by you."

The knife that was given was the knife that I gave myself. When I gave it to you, I didn't work on the patterns, etc., and I was just thinking of making it easy to hold and use.

However, the dagger that Hayboss God gave me was still easy to use and well crafted. That's why I didn't realize it was what I gave you.

I am honestly impressed.

"I'm worried that the sword has no ornament at all... I've done a little work for you. Honestly, I don't feel like dressing up. My lord, you don't have any stylish clothes. Aren't you always dressed in black and living discreetly?

Haybos, the word of God pierces your heart.

How do you know that? I'm surprised because it's true.

Shirone also said, "I'm wearing black and grey clothes, but is there anything else?" and so on. Dark-colored clothes will calm you down...

"Did you win?

Haybos, I cannot return to the word of God.

Well, it's only natural that it doesn't make any noise because it actually hits it.

And look at the sword.

"I can feel the will to make good things....."

And Haybos God sees himself.

"You're a clumsy man in a way... You said you could do nothing with a woman you liked, and you wouldn't fight another man or a woman, and you'd pull yourself back."

Words penetrate my heart again.

"Perhaps the lord will not fight for anything, not just women, but will withdraw? And in the end, it's going to be irreversible."

And Haybos God sees a little farther.

"Just like the Modes guy... The Modes guy can argue a little, but we need to get back to Nargor. That's why I've licked you and expanded your demands, and you're going to start a struggle that doesn't draw you back into each other."

And Haybos God smiles a little.

"But this Hayboss is not qualified to say anything when he denies his involvement with others and confines himself to this world of workshops...."

Haybos says, muttering.

According to Nut, Haybos God has always been in this workshop and will not be at the meetings of the gods. That's why they found out later when Modes was banished from Ellios.

Haybos God feels a little sorry for it. That's why I'm helping Modeth.

And now I look at my little sword.

"That's what we talked about... It's not decorative, but it's pretty good for a pure sword. It's not inferior to what Dwarves make."

This was undoubtedly the best compliment.

"Thank you."

Praised, he lowers his head.

"Show me the sword that Modes gave me."

I pull out my waist magic sword and give it to Hayboss God.

There is a red pattern on the black sword body, which is called the Black Blooded Magic Sword.

"That's a wonderful sword you'll ever see. This sword can't even be made by Hayboss."

It was an unexpected word.

"Isn't that sword made by Haybos God?

Haybos God shakes his head in his own words.

"It was Nargor, the mother of Modes, who made the sword. Nargor, known as the God of Destruction, has the ability to make weapons for destruction. I can't beat this Hayboss. As a matter of fact, Modes can make the same thing as this Hayboss only with weapons. He doesn't really want to make weapons. And maybe you have the ability to do that."

Hayboss said while comparing the magic sword with his own little sword.

Ability to make swords.

In other words, the ability to be a sword blacksmith is definitely the ability gained by coming to this world. Originally, the world of swords should be so deep that even sharpening is said to last a lifetime.

I had been taught a little by a sword blacksmith I knew before, but I felt it wasn't something I could do overnight.

In addition, the fact that I came to this world enabled me to perform precise operations is probably why I was able to make products that I couldn't beat the dwarf. So if we go back to the original world, we won't be able to make the same sword we gave Haybos to God.

Well, look at that, but Modes and you look alike. Give it to someone. I made it a little flashy, so it wouldn't be your taste. "

That's how you return your sword.

Think about who you'll give this little sword to.

She looks like she wants Kuna next to her, but she wants something better than her own sword.

"I'll give Kuna something better sometime."

That's how I stroke Kuna's head and I hold my sword.

Kuna seems dissatisfied, but she feels better when she strokes her head.

"Then I made armor for you. Follow me."

That said, Haybos God walks and guides himself.

At the tip of the guide was a piece of armor, including a helmet. The color of the armor is black and looks the same as before, but the magic contained therein is much stronger than before.

"Unlike before, this armor was made to suit you. I made it from the dark knight's armor that I gave you earlier, but I don't know if you'd actually come, so try it on."

Haybos told me to put on my armor and it fits my body tightly and there is no blur. Moving my body did not hinder my movement despite the heavy armor.

"Wow. I can't believe it won't bother me to move with such a big armor...."

You won't be able to make this kind of armor even in the original world.

And I'll give this to her.

Hayboss God takes out things like long sticks. It was a giant sickle.

"This is...."

Um, Modes contacted me. Anything, the girl asked me to make this scythe because it looks good on her. I made one. "

That's how Haybos gave the scythe to Kuna.

When Kuna held it, it wasn't too long or too short for its height. And it suited me well.

I am resistant to having Kuna fight, but I know the spiciness of being powerless.

I don't want you to fight, but there may be times.

Thank you, Haybos God.

I once again bow my head and say thank you.

"I know there's something you don't want to give away, and I hope you can protect it."

Haybos God turns his back when he says so.

I don't think I have anything to say anymore.

He lowered his head many times on the back of Haybos God and returned to Nargor.

◆ Silver Witch Coona

Return to Magic King Castle with Transfer Magic.

I see the scythe I got from a guy named Hayboss the other day.

Now Kuna will be able to fight. I wish I could help Kuroki.

Shake it and it gets in Kuna's hands. But I think I need to train like Croki.

Kuroki waves his sword every morning.

He trains everything. Unlike the sword, Kuna should shake the sickle with it. That way you can stay with Croki.

"This is Master Kuna... Welcome home."

Walking, I meet a woman. The woman bows when she sees Kuna.

A woman named Rijena.

I don't like this woman very much. This woman gets annoyed when she approaches Croki.

Kuna belongs to Croki. Then Croki should belong to Kuna.

Croki is nothing but Kuna, but he is kind to this woman. I can't help but hate it.

I want to put a collar on Croki and monopolize it with Kuna alone. But if you do that, Croki will hate it.

Then we'll have to do something about this woman. But Croki would be sad if he did.

So we have to think of another way.

"Rijena"

"Ha, yes! What is it, Master Kuna?

When Kuna called, Rijena looked scared. Nothing. I'm not going to kill him now. That's why you don't have to be afraid.

I noticed something in Rijena's hand there.

"What's that?

Point to what you have in your hand and ask.

"Se... it's laundry!!

I was a little scared to hear it.

"Whose?

"... Milord's."

The voice was small this time.

Rijena only calls him Croki. When I heard the husband call me, I felt a black flame coming up.

"Did you wash it?

Rijena nodded.

"Didn't the princess do that?

Rijena must be a princess in a human country called Argoa.

And the princess I'm telling you about shouldn't do laundry.

Kuroki is reading various books to remember the letters of this world.

There are stories of people coming out, and Kuna reads them to me before going to bed at night.

Sleeping while listening to Croki's gentle voice is a happy time for Kuna.

And there was a story in the book about a princess coming out.

A princess who tells a story does not do such a thing. My servant will always do it for me. That's why I was surprised that Regina could do that.

"No, no, I wanted to thank Milord for saving me... but I learned to do the laundry later..."

Rijena answers a lot.

Rijena was certainly picked up here with her squire. You must have learned from the Servitor.

"That's right...."

And look at the laundry that Rijena has in her hand. I saw Croki's underwear in it.

That's what Kuroki wore yesterday. There is no doubt because I have checked it many times.

"... did you suck it?

Ask Rijena.

"Eh...?

After Rijena answered, she turned her gaze down. Of course, there's Croki's underwear there.

"I didn't do that! What a shabu!"

Regina denies that she didn't realize what she was saying at first.

"Put it on... Lick it...."

"I didn't! I didn't!

Regina shook her neck in denial.

"Shabbing! I can't believe I licked you! I didn't! I can smell it a bit!!!

Rijena desperately denied it, but there were some words she couldn't miss.

Did you smell it?

"Ah...."

Silence dominates the field.

No... we have to do something fast...

"Regina...."

"Yes!!!

Get closer to Rijena and look at her.

Tell Kuna to do the laundry.

I can't kill anymore. Kuna can only remember to wash and protect her underwear.

Huh? Kuna?

Rijena looks surprised. I don't know why.

"Tell Kuna everything you need to take care of Croki, not just the laundry. I want to be able to take care of Kuroki."

"Such a thing to Her Majesty's Princess....."

Regina says she's sorry.

Soon Kuna was supposed to be the daughter of the Devil King. Probably because it resembles Morna.

No, but I don't deny either.

I just want to remember.

Once everything is ready for Kuna, Rijena doesn't have to be croque-made.

Then you can take Rijena somewhere.

We need to figure out where to send them. If there was nowhere to go, gentle Croki would leave Rijena.

One word comes to mind.

Kingdom of Argoa.

Rijena was a princess. Why don't we put her back there?

Croki won't say it's bad enough to be a princess, and it should be good for Rijena.

So it seemed like a very good idea.
