Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

Returns

Drageass, capital of Dragon.

This city is a city filled with red buildings and dragon symbols. There's not even a building that doesn't have a dragon symbol.

In the middle of the city there is a palace that is not too big, but has a large courtyard that is used to practice controlling dragons. Not only the palace area, some of the kingdom of Dragonia is a forest and grassland region.

Unfortunately, even though this is the capital, today there is no one in this city. It can even be called a ghost town. Streets, houses, malls, royal government offices, all empty.

Or don't.

On the main road leading to the palace, 5 dragons lined up neatly. Four dragons are Fire Dragon Class dragons that have a characteristic red-smoldering color. While in the middle is a blue dragon which is a type of Dragon King Class. It is one of the 13 Dragon King Classes in the world.

The Dragon King Class had a body larger than an ordinary dragon. Ordinary dragons were only 7-10 meters tall, but the Dragon King Class was a dragon measuring 25 meters from head to tail end.

The five dragons were members of the Dragon Knight army. While the 5 people riding the dragon were called Dragon Riders, but they were also called Dragon Tamer..

The Dragon Rider of Dragon King Class dragon is a 15 year old girl and is the third princess of Dragonia kingdom. Beautiful face like a doll and skin as white as milk. Her eyes were the same blue as her hair greenish-blue straight shoulder-length.

Unlike her troops who wore thick and heavy armor, the princess wore a thin armor made from dragon scales.

"What's the current status?"

He asked his men who were using a long-range communication magic tool.

"There's still not much change for Princess Diana. The southern city of 4 Necrodra was still not defeated. The eastern part of the city is still 2 Necrodra remaining. The west and east are better because only one Necrodra has not yet been defeated."

After hearing that Diana was not the least bit happy. Although now only 8 Necrodra have not been finished off from 20 Necrodra that attacked, but the losses due to 4-way attacks are quite large.

This was because Necrodra was a dragon that was resurrected using magic, while Diana's side fought using a living dragon.

Explosions can be heard from 4 directions. The smoke from Dragon Breath was also seen soaring high into the sky.

"What about the number of victims?" Diana asked again.

"Current victims are still zero, but many have sustained heavy injuries. Currently the group continues to take turns against Necrodra and bring the injured to the nearest treatment site. The experience of the attack 6 months ago has provided a lot of experience, so we can minimize the casualties this time."

"Good up?!"

At the same time after his soldiers gave their reports, the road in front of them suddenly split apart.6 wingless Necrodra Earth Dragon Class that was dark black appeared from the ground.

But not only from the front, from the left and right sides, including the back, appeared other dragons from the ground. They're surrounded.

But it's still not the worst.

"Daughter Diana, look!"

"......"

Diana looked straight at the sky. He could see 10 black dragons flying from the front towards the right direction towards the palace. The 10 Necrodra was a type of Holy Demonic Dragon Class.

Realizing that, Diana bit her lower lip.

As a princess, she was obliged to protect her citizens. Moreover, he was the only Dragon Rider from the royal members who was there at the moment.

"Quickly order to strengthen the palace shield. Whatever happens we can't let them invade the palace and get what they want. Destroy all Necrodra as quickly as possible."

""""Okay!!!""""

The four Dragon Riders beside him instantly activated their magic. Spears, swords, arrows and cannon guns appeared in their hands.

One of them used telecommunication magic to contact the palace.

After a while, an invisible dome appeared and enveloped the entire palace. Not only the air, but the shield was also underground. In short, now the palace was in a sphere.

Realizing the shield had been strengthened, Diana relaxed her shoulders. Now he can feel a little calm.

And after taking a breath, he called out his magic name.

""

A blood red spear appeared in Diana's hand.

He then observed the dragon that surrounded him. The enemy numbered 33 Necrodra, while his side numbered only 5.

"It's going to be quite difficult, but it's nothing compared to 6 months ago, isn't it Kuro?"

Diana gave a serious look and pointed the tip of her spear at the group of dragons that were in front of her.

"Shapira, let's quickly send your friend back to the afterlife!!"

Roooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr!!

The greenish blue dragon Shapira Dragon King Class roared as a sign the fight had begun.

\=\= _--

Return to the city of Areshia, precisely the forest of Eldea.

"remarkable. I really don't believe it."

Rich smiled happily as he looked at the finished sculpture made by Kuro. The statue is in the shape of a woman who stands in a dress and plays the violin.

The statue is the size of the original. Even his face was the same as Rich's wife and looked alive. Rich even thought the statue was his wife.

"Hows it? Are you satisfied?"

Kuro stood near the statue while holding Lic.

"This is more than I thought. But what's even more surprising is that you made it with a sword and it was less than 30 minutes. Do you have any special tricks?"

"No. I actually make sculptures just to practice, so there's no special trick."

"..... Practicing? Apparently so. Then how much do I have to pay for this?"

Although Kuro's confession was hard to believe, Rich saw the manufacturing process from start to finish, so he was forced to believe.

"I'll give it free. Instead I ask you to keep my identity a secret. Besides this is a gift for your wife, I can't possibly charge you for this. "

"Ha ha ha... Are you serious? If you want, I'd pay you 100 billion for this statue."

"100 Billion!?"

Laila's eyes opened wide upon hearing Kuro's payment. Of course if he accepts.

But Kuro shook his head in a sign of rejecting Rich's offer.

Kuro sheathed back his field and smiled.

"Thank you for the offer, but I still refused. I made you a statue because I'm glad you're the one who's willing to do anything for your wife. I like people like you. So I will still refuse even if you pay 1 trillion Yold."

For a moment, Rich was silent. But after that he smiled with satisfaction.

"so apparently. Well, I'll assume the statue is a gift from you. Hm? it's come apparently."

Rich saw his men coming with a sizable suitcase. The suitcase of course contained the money from the previous statue.

Since the bank was closed, Rich ordered his men to send money from other regions using teleportation magic objects. This process is quite time consuming, but no one is in a hurry. Waiting a minute is not a bad thing.

Rich received the suitcase from his men, then handed it to Kuro.

"Thank you..."

Kuro said after receiving the suitcase from Rich.

"Ha ha.. shouldn't I be the one to thank you? Come on, I know you're a little weird kid."

". ........."

Laila only fell silent because she knew this was not the right time to ask a lot.

After receiving the money, Kuro and Laila return to the city of Areshia. Meanwhile Rich goes to the capital to immediately give his wife a birthday present. This was natural considering it took several days to get to the capital.

The two of them now entered the city through the east gate together together.

"Do you want that kind of money?"

Laila asked as she glanced at the brown suitcase containing 100 million yolds.

"...... hmmm.... Why should I tell you?"

"Eh?"

Laila was surprised to hear an unexpected question from Kuro.

Right now Laila is just following where Kuro went. He didn't know where Kuro was going because it was only his first time to where Kuro was going.

The buildings around them were dominated by old buildings. Some were empty and almost collapsed. The population is rarely seen and dominated by the elderly.

This is the side of Areshia that Laila had just seen.

"I want to do whatever it takes for me, but if you want to know, you can just follow me. Easy right?"

"..........."

Even though what Kuro said was true, he was irritated. Today Laila felt that Kuro was a little annoying.

After about 15 minutes of walking, Laila and Kuro stopped in front of a fairly old two-story building. Iron fences surrounded the building. Not far from the building there is an unkempt church and garden.

Kuro unhesitatingly entered the courtyard of the building. Laila followed him on the side.

Unexpectedly, from the building a middle-aged woman came to greet the two of them. The woman was dressed in a white church nun and sheathed a cross.

"So, I really came."

"Ahhh. He's coming."

"Eh?"

Laila was shocked when she saw some children appear behind the sister. The number of children of the 20s consists of various ages.

The boy quickly swarmed Laila and Kuro.

"Ha... Who's this beautiful woman?"

"Could he be Brother's girlfriend?"

"White, not pick-awwww!"

The nurse caught a boy peeking at Laila's skirt.

"Delio, don't be nosy. You all go back inside. You can play with your brother after he's done. Understood?"

""""Baii!!!'"""

The boy obeyed the sister's orders and returned to the building.

After seeing the door closed, the sister looked at Kuro and Laila.

"I'm sorry for them. You both know they're still kids."

"Ahhh. I know they're just nosy."

Laila smiled happily and did not mind being peeped at by the little boy.

"Of course it doesn't matter. After all, the color of your panties is actually red, right?"

"Fu fuu. Today I'm wearing black.. eh?"

Laila's face immediately flushed red as she realized that Kuro was only teasing her like a boy named Delio.

"Youuu!!!!"

"Why are you angry? You said it yourself, right?"

"Yes!"

Finally Laila did not get angry and lowered her head.

The sister chuckled as she looked at the familiarity of Laila and Kuro.

After that they went into the living room. Laila and Kuro sat side by side and the sister sat opposite them. They can hear the sound of a child coming from the 2nd floor.

Not only the outside, it turns out the inside of the building also looks quite old. But it looks well groomed and clean.

Shortly after sitting down, a little girl came carrying 3 cups of warm tea. The little girl placed the cup on the wooden table slowly.

"Thank you.."

".........."

Laila tried to say hello, but the little girl immediately left.

Seeing that sister let out a little sigh.

".......No. gabe. I don't think about it much, but there are a lot of kids here. Could this place really be"

The sister nodded confirming Laila's conjecture.

"This is an orphanage, but an unofficial orphanage."

The one who answered was Kuro.

"Eh?"

"This building is part of the church. So this place is not an orphanage. But a few years ago many children were sent to church because they had no parents. We don't mind, it's just that the increasing number makes us a bit of a hassle. Especially in a situation like this. Frankly, we're getting worse every day."

"".........""

"But we couldn't tell our problems to our children, unfortunately without us knowing, they realized that we were having difficulties and ended up asking for donations on the streets."

"Eh? Kuro the money.-"

Kuro just smiled and drank the tea that had already become warm.

"Yes. I just came back and saw some kids asking for donations. Because I was curious, I asked them and they showed me this place."

"I didn't expect the child to bring Mr. Kuro here. He intended to make a donation, so I waited for him to return. But I didn't expect Mr. Kuro to come back so soon."

"You kuro..?"

Laila glanced at Kuro with a complicated look.

"Don't look at me like that. At first I intended to take money in the bank, unfortunately the bank closed today, so I was forced to sell the goods earlier. Oh... Sister Marika here is my donation money"

Kuro put the suitcase on the table and opened it.

Marika's eyes widened when she saw the contents of the suitcase in the form of hundreds of thousands of Yold.

"Please use this money to repair buildings and churches. I recommend making a small business. I'm sure the money is enough to as capital."

".........."

Unfortunately, sister Marika did not answer because she saw the amount of money in the suitcase.

"Sister?"

"....Ah sorry. I didn't expect you to donate this much. Aren't you still a schoolgirl?"

A normal person would also think the same thing if he saw the money Kuro had brought.

"I'm a student, but 100 million Yold isn't too much money. Sister Marika knows, my boyfriend is Paladin's daughter, so I don't think that much money matters. Besides, I'd be happier if the money was used for the benefit of the children."

Marika looked at Laila for a moment then smiled.

"......Alright. Then I'll make the most of the money you've given me."

"One more thing, can you tell me your account number? I will donate again. Besides, I'm going to request that this place become an official orphanage. That way, this place will get the attention of the government right?"

".......eh?"

Marika was silent. He couldn't believe what he just heard. Moreover, Kuro is only a school student.

"Hey Kuro, don't joke around in situations like this."

"Who's kidding. I have a lot of acquaintances in the government, so registering this place into an official orphanage is easy for me."

"Huh?"

"That's not the problem. What I don't understand is why this place hasn't been registered to become an official orphanage? I think this place is qualified, right?"

Hearing Kuro's question, Marika lowered her head limp and looked glum. But after taking a breath, he looked back at Laila and Kuro with a sad look.

"The reason why we didn't register it long ago is because we're scared."

"Fearful?"

"........."

"Me, and the 3 sisters in this place are ex-criminals. If we register, of course it will reveal our true identity. What do you think will happen after that?"

"........"

Laila fell silent. He realized what Marika said.

If their identity is discovered, then there is a possibility that their enemy or victim will take revenge. The problem is if the innocent child is the victim.

"Sister Marika, don't worry! You don't have to tell me your real identity. I'll call someone I can trust soon. Tomorrow or the day after they will definitely come to check this place out. Please tell me what you need to."

"Ta-but-"

"Trust me sister Marika."

".........."

Marika was silent for a moment. He was thinking about Kuro's words.

Not long after, he sighed.

"....Alright. I believe in you."

Kuro smiled thinly happily.

Meanwhile Laila showed a complicated and incredulous expression.

"Then I want to say goodbye."

"Eh?"

The one who was surprised was Laila.

"Why are you in a hurry?"

"I have a lot of things to do. I'm sorry I can't accompany the kids to play, but I'll come back when."

Kuro then stood up. Laila stood up as well.

"alright. I-i understand. I also promise to make the most of this money."

Kuro smiled then went towards the door and came out with Laila.

Laila looked back and saw Marika looking down a sign of respect and gratitude. Marika even shed tears.

Meanwhile Kuro continued walking without looking.

But Kuro is not silent. His right hand was playing a black phone. Kuro was sending a message to someone.

After a while, the message was replied and Kuro smiled in satisfaction. That's a good sign for Laila.

Now they run on the road not too crowded towards their school. The distance of Kuryuu Academy was quite far from the east gate. It took 45 minutes to get there.

"Kuro, where have you been?"

"Uh? Why is that what you're asking? Shouldn't you be mad because I didn't come to dinner?"

There are a lot of questions Laila wants to ask. While they were walking alone, he took the opportunity to chat with Kuro. She also hopes to find out why Kuro didn't tell her he was Shiro.

"Yeah... Of course I'm angry. I even had time to think of burning you alive."

"Uggs.. Is that how you are?"

"Fu fu. I was just kidding. You actually came, right? But why don't you come in? Could it be because I chatted with two handsome guys then got jealous and disappeared for three days? Fu fu's..."

Kuro gave a small sigh.

"Why should I be jealous of men who already have fiancees like them?"

"uh? YOU EVEN KNOW THAT FAR?"

"Hey hey. don't be noisy. They were nobles, so their engagement was quite famous. So it's only natural that I know."

"........Ahhh. You're right."

Laila remembers their friend's engagement being spread in the newspapers for the whole empire to know. Somehow Laila felt Kuro knew too much information.

They both turn left at the crossroads.

"Now what makes me wonder why you're in a place like that? Geez, why can't I ever hide from you? Could you be a professional stalker?"

"Huh?!"

Hearing that Laila stopped walking for a moment. He remembers this is the second time Shiro/Kuro calls himself a stalker.

(She's still never changed as she used to.)

Laila smiled slightly.

"Why are you smiling to yourself. You're weird."

"As far as I am. Besides, if I'm a professional stalker, is there a problem for you? Me me.."

"Not really. I just thought maybe I'd never get away from you."

Technically, they've accidentally met nine times. This was what made Kuro think that way.

"Snow? Ha ha. don't expect to escape. I've got a radar that can find you wherever you hide."

Although what Laila meant was her legs and subconscious, but it could also be called the Kuro Radar.

"Where have you been for 3 days? Frankly, Alva and Alvi ask you every day. If you don't like them, why don't you just reject their love?!"

"..................."

But Kuro fell silent upon hearing Laila's question. She knew Laila's intention was to tell the two of them her true feelings.

This also made Kuro realize that the relationship between the three of them is getting closer during these 3 days.

After a small sigh, Kuro said:

"First, I went to meet a beautiful girl. Second, I have rejected their love. Third, do you want Crepe?"

"Huh?"

Laila was dumbfounded for a moment. He could only see Kuro walking towards Crepe's salesman near the small park.

At the same time, Laila felt anger and pain appearing in her chest. At the end of this he often experienced this, but he did not know what he really felt.

Laila then caught up with Kuro who was already preparing to order.

"Hey what do you mean by meeting a pretty girl? M-maybe you're having an affair? Am I still not pretty enough for you?"

"I order a banana chocolate and she's vanilla strobery!"

"Why are you ignoring me?"

Saw Laila screaming. The Crepe seller only smiled slightly while making the order.

Meanwhile Kuro turned his head towards Laila with a flat face.

"Laila, you're too jealous. I'm just meeting, is there a problem if I meet a girl?"

"Jealous? Why should I be jealous? Hey why are you holding out your hand?"

"Are you stupid? Of course to pay Crepe."

"...........You're this fucking..."

In the end Laila could only sigh deeply. He doesn't know what Kuro's thinking.

First he blatantly says meet another girl. Then he bought Crepe so Laila wouldn't get angry.

Laila really doesn't understand what Kuro's goal really is.

After getting Crepe their order and paying for it. Laila walked towards the long chair that was under a tree in the middle of the city. Kuro walked behind Laila.

"Geez.. I don't think you just made a billion, but you don't have the money to pay eh?"

Before finishing her words, Laila turned her head back and found Kuro already lying on the road.

Laila quickly ran towards Kuro.

"Kurou... Kuro's.. What the hell happened to you?"

Unfortunately Kuro was silent with his eyes tightly closed. Laila realized that Kuro had no injuries. He looked healthy a few minutes ago.

The only thing that made Laila relieved was that Kuro was still alive. But why did he arrive unconscious?
