Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

Tomb

While Yui and the others are resting in the village, Kuro, Laila and Kuro's father, Roka is walking in the middle of the forest.

Kuro's sword, Lic was currently carried by Laila with both hands. Despite being only 10 kg, Lic was still 10 times heavier than his magic arm, Scarflare.

Although it was daytime, but the Rukia forest was like it was night. It was dark, but without stars. For an unfamiliar person like Laila, she would definitely get lost in a matter of seconds, but it didn't seem to apply to Roka.

Roka continued walking without hesitation through the dense forest as if it was her playground.

"Dad can you not humiliate your son in front of his future wife?"

Kuro complained because he was currently being carried by Roka like a sack of rice.

It's mortifying. It's embarrassing, but Kuro has to endure it because he has no other choice.

He had often received his father's blows. He could survive or not even get hurt at all.

But that is if under normal circumstances.

Roka struck at full force without knowing that Kuro was still affected by the side effects of the Cursed Blade Art.

Kuro's wounds aren't too severe, but he really can't move much.

"Shut up! It's your fault, you idiot. I know you're popular with girls, but don't you think about when your son comes home with a wife-to-be? Uhh... 'Your son has raped a girl and now he has to take responsibility.' Do you want me to have a heart attack?"

"I'm more curious why did you immediately think of raping Laila? You stupid father."

"Who doesn't think that when he finds out your son is a super playboy who seduces innocent girls wherever he goes. I know this is happening sooner or later, but it's really taking me by surprise. Maria, look what your son did...."

Roka looked up at the sky like praying to someone in heaven.

Maria is the name of Kuro's mother and Roka's wife who died from an incident 6 years ago.

Laila did not know, but she could guess from Roka's expression.

"Don't bring me in this. I'd be happy to have a beautiful daughter-in-law despite jealousy."

"Kuro, ...What do you mean?"

Laila who had been silent since earlier, finally connected the conversation between father and son.

"He really reminds me of Mary."

"I think the same, Dad."

"Like?"

Roka and Kuro nodded along with the compact.

Although not bound by blood, but they have a strong bond.

"What part do you look like?"

Laila asked with a flushed face. Although now invisible because of the dark.

"Maybe you don't know, my mother is good as an angel, but when she's angry she'll instantly turn into a demon."

"Yup. I really remember being caught flirting with another woman."

"...what?"

Laila had not expected to have such an unexpected resemblance.

One thing he knew, their resemblance was not a positive thing.

"Of course, that's an old story. It's just a memory and a past, but this is why I'm not looking for a wife anymore."

"I didn't know you had any desire to find another wife after she died."

"Don't tell Yui. He'll skin me alive."

"Yup. I think Yui will without a doubt do so. She's worse than mom."

"..."

They are really father and son.

"By the way, do you know about the organization that messed up this late?"

"...enthus. I don't know, but I heard they are a combination of organizations or groups that want to raise the Demon King. Their purpose is still a mystery. I also heard that not only Dragonia was attacked by the group. But almost any place that has a clue about their Demon King will attack him. .. I really don't understand what they want."

"Pulse.. Uncle knows a lot about that."

Laila was a little astonished because Roka lived in the Rukia forest, but knew a lot of information.

Such information should not be heard in the most dangerous forest in the world because it is remote.

"Don't call me Uncle. Call me Dad or Roka. You're Kuro's future wife, so there's no need to bother."

"Well, Dad."

"Father is really soft when it comes to dealing with a girl."

"Shut up, Dumbass! I know because we often escort people who want to pass through this forest. You know this forest is often passed by merchants who travel the world, from them we hear that information."

"It seems that the organization is really going to make trouble if it is not stopped immediately. Well, just so we don't bother us, we won't bother them."

Kuro seems to say that even if the world is destroyed or the Demon King is resurrected, he does not care if the Blad clan is safe. It was like Kuro,-

But is that possible?

"Oh yeah, I forgot to ask anything important. Laila, who are your parents? Could it be famous people?"

"Why did you ask that?" ask Laila.

"Well, I hope this troublemaker chooses a wife-to-be from a family as troublesome as a royal princess or something."

"I think it's too late. Laila was the strongest Paladin princess in the Empire. I'm good at choosing a wife, aren't I?"

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

Roka fell silent. His face was also pale.

"Dad?"

"Let me calm my mind. I don't know if I should be grateful or if I should be ready to dig a grave."

Roka was really shocked.

Roka knows very well Kuro always seduces girls. It was not a problem because Kuro was already in married age, but the problem was that the girl Kuro had courted was always from the upper class.

Nobility, rich man, royal princess. She knows Kuro once seduced them, but the daughter of the most dangerous person in the world really makes Roka surprised.

(Don't joke. I'm gonna have a son-in-law of that guy? The eye of the basket?)

"I can't believe this..."

Roka suddenly said with a gloomy face.

"What do you think?"

"Are you really going to marry Laila?"

"Yes. I have to take responsibility. Isn't that what you always taught me?"

"I'm sorry I taught you."

"Hoy... What the fuck is that? Why did you suddenly change?"

"I don't mind you marrying Laila, but I didn't expect to be in a relationship with that person."

Kuro and Laila finally realized something. Something important.

"Dad knew my father?"

"Yes. We fought and I lost."

"That's the news that made your son, I was immediately disappointed and thought 'My father turned out to be useless'."

"Guh.don't joke. Who would win against a monster like him?"

"Dad, do you know? The princess you call a 'monster' is next to you?"

"Ah.sorry, Laila. I didn't mean it that way."

But Laila only smiled a little while shaking her head.

"It's okay, Dad. I'm used to it. After all he (Kuro) is also called a monster at school."

"Your life must be hard... I hope you can stand up to God's trials."

"Why do you say I'm the devil? Or just my feelings?"

"You devil seduce woman."

"Gohhhh.."

Laila's answer was right stabbing Kuro

Kuro realized that Laila was not happy. Butwhy?

"Ah.. we arrived..."

The three of them arrived at a slightly open part of the forest. Light can penetrate the ground and the trees are still not too high as they just grew.

But all the ground was mossy into a brownish green color. Behind the lubrication and roots, the former buildings can be seen, but if you do not pay attention with the heart, then the building will not be seen.

But there is more to make Laila interested and at the same time surprised. There are dozens of tombstones that are not overgrown with moss or even grass.

In all the tombs, there are flowers that have now withered and rotted brown, but there are some fresh and new.

Laila knew from the number of tombstones, this place was the tomb of the victim of the incident 6 years ago.

Roka heads towards one of the tombs and lowers Kuro off his shoulders.

"Maria, I've come to bring Kuro and our future daughter-in-law. I hope you're happy and calm in heaven. Kuro..."

" I know. Thank you for driving us."

"It's my duty as a parent. Even though you really made me almost have a heart attack twice."

"In addition, I've told Laila's father that I'm proposing to him immediately, so mentally prepare Dad."

".........huh?"

After nearly having a heart attack 3 times, Roka leaves Kuro and Laila.

Kuro squatted in front of Maria's grave.

There's no name on the tombstone, it seems intentional.

Laila squatted in front of Maria's grave after putting Lic on the ground.

Kuro and Laila's hands fused and began to close their eyes to pray for Mary's spirit.

After a while, Kuro's eyes opened as a sign of finished praying. While Laila finished a while after Kuro.

"Mother, ..I came to introduce Laila to you. Like I said, he's your son-in-law's candidate. I hope you bless and pray for our relationship."

"My name is Laila. Your son's lover, Kuro. You must be worried about Kuro's vices, but don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him."

"Don't tell my mom about it, do you want to ruin my good image?"

"No. I'm sure Yui or Dad told me."

Laila's right. Kuro doesn't know what Roka or Yui is saying as long as she's not in the village.

"Kuro, what's Mom like?"

Kuro was silent for a moment as if remembering something before answering Laila's question.

"Mother is a good person. I told you she's like an angel, but she'll turn into a demon if she gets angry. That's what Mom is like."

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

"But the one thing I remember most about Mom was her warmth that melted the heart of a boy who had frozen and died. Even though I don't have any blood ties to Dad and Mom or Yui, but I can say they're the best family I've ever had."

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

"That's why I don't hesitate to risk my life for them or for you to give me the warmth of my life. Well, even though I didn't expect you to be my wife."

"I don't know if I should be happy or sad to hear that, but you're also aware of the risks of accepting me, right?"

All this time something's been bothering Laila. Why would Kuro want to be the lover of even her future husband?

Laila was the strongest Paladin princess, one would definitely instantly fear making friends or even being in a relationship with Laila.

But Kuro is different. No doubt or fear. He seemed to not think of cause and effect if he had an illicit relationship with Laila.

But Laila knew, Kuro must have considered everything well.

"What are you thinking? I chose you because I love you. Just like your father chose your mother. There's no difference. Before your father became the strongest Paladin, he was a human. The same goes for everyone including the king. That's why I don't need to fear or doubt even if your father is a Paladin or even a Demon King."

"Don't call my father Demon King jeezz..."

"But you now know why I don't fear your father or grandmother, right?"

"Yeahhhh, and it scares me."

Although Kuro's reasoning was reasonable, it took a great deal of courage to do that.

And that sometimes makes Kuro feel like he doesn't consider his life worth it or he doesn't fear death.

".....Kuro, don't you ever miss your mother?"

"Surely sa-"

Laila immediately shook her head.

"I mean your real mother. If Mother(Mary) was still alive, I think she'd ask the same thing."

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

Kuro did not answer and only smiled a little.

"I tell you one little secret, 'no kid doesn't miss their parents', but I can't possibly meet my real parents because they're in another world."

"........eh?"

Does Kuro mean that his biological parents are dead just like Maria?

(But I feel that the word Kuro has a different meaning?)

....or just Laila's feelings?

"By the way, how much time is left?"

"Why are you asking? You must have known we were new to this"

Laila stopped because she realized that it was not time that was their problem.

Laila's conjecture was strengthened after seeing Kuro's devilish smile. Perverted devil.

"Can't we do it here?"

-------------------

------

---

An hour later, Kuro and Laila enter the village of the Blad clan. Like Charlmilia, Laila was also amazed and amazed when she saw the village of the Blad clan in a cave.

Of course he was also surprised when he saw a 25-meter-long blue dragon standing up and glanced at him.

"Don't tell me, this dragon is yours too?"

"No. Emera is the dragon Yui. This dragon chose Yui."

They were both near Emera. Laila even stroked Emera's head gently.

"So the legend is true. Dragon King Class is a dragon that chooses its own rider."

"Yes. Emera comes to this village through an underground river and meets Yui. Now Emera is the village guard of the intruder."

"heeh...."

"Here you go, we better find another one. I think they're in my house right now."

Laila nodded.

The two of them then walked towards one of the large enough houses in the middle of the village.

On the way, Laila asked him something that had plagued his mind from the moment he first entered the village.

"The village is too quiet, where is everyone?"

"My father and the other grown men I think are buying food supplies in a nearby town. While the mother mother in this village I think is watching their child training at the training ground."

".. This village is really relaxed. It's so different from what I imagined."

"How else, if you want to go to the surface, you will be attacked by monsters. That's why in order not to get bored, the entire population would usually go to the mountain to get some fresh air or wash my nail eyes..."

Either Kuro's laughter makes Laila feel bad.

"Could they have left riding on a dragon?"

"Youp. You can think of this village as a miniature of Dragonia. Here the dragon and man live in peace. The villagers are less than 50."

"Isn't that too little for a place this big?"

".... Why are you talking about this?"

"Aren't I going to stay here after marrying you?"

Laila's right, but-

"Don't joke. I have a house in the capital. We'll stay there. Besides, you don't want to make the scariest dad in the world worry and ruin everything. We don't want that to happen, do we?"

"....you're right. But I don't mind staying here as long as I'm with you."

"It's a pity that I rarely stay here and go home if I have time to spare."

At the same time, Kuro opened the door of the house made of wood.

"Yui... Huh?"

Kuro was shocked when he found something surprising.

There's no one in that house.

"Where is everyone?" ask Laila.

"Come on, but I guess I can guess where they are. Why don't you go around?"

They did not enter the house and headed to the edge of the village.

Somehow Emera followed them so as to make the ground shake every time her feet stepped.

"My feeling, or is Emera looking at me all the time?"

"Maybe you don't know, but Emera likes pretty girls."

"You mean Emera is a basket-eye dragon. Huh.. I don't praise you!"

Emera blushed with a flushed face.

It's a little strange because dragons can be as shy as humans.

"I think dragons also have different properties like humans."

"Yes, you're right."

".... and I don't know why I have a hunch why Emera chose Yui."

"The Lolicon dragon monkey."

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

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

After that, the two of them laughed out loud for a few minutes.

"If the world knew the legendary dragon turned out to be the Lolicon dragon. What's gonna happen?"

"See, but I'm willing to pay anything to see that."

"Hum? Could that be the training ground you're referring to?"

Laila glanced at a place that resembled a square-shaped arena. There are a lot of people there.

Mom is in the distance. While the Kuro group is on the edge of the arena and make out (Aldest and Lairo).

Elsewhere there was a group of teenagers and children who were teenagers of the Blad clan. They were mostly dressed like Yui who was made of leather. They look like street fighters.

Above the arena, two people were seen fighting with their bare hands. One of those people was Jinn who took off her clothes and showed her burly body.

While his opponent was a thin youth but his body was trained like Kuro.

One thing is certain, Jinn's opponent is not a witch, but it cannot be underestimated because Jinn is even overwhelmed by the young man.

The young man moved quickly like Kuro and was able to dodge Jinn's attacks, not only that, the young man used speed to amplify attacks like Kuro.

Jinn crossed her arms to resist the young man's attack, but Jinn was pushed a few meters back.

The young man smiled, the same thing Jinn did. The two of them then clashed again and again.

Every attack missed and hit the arena, the floor would be smashed to pieces due to the shockwave of the power of their punch.

Their fight was arguably balanced, but it was applicable to the common people.

"Yui... What's going on here? Why is Asura fighting Jinn?"

Yui turned her head towards Kuro and Laila who had just arrived. Emera followed them behind.

"Why so long? Jeezz... Jinn and Asura don't fight, but just practice sparring."

"........."

"This is just to drive away the boredom of waiting for you. By the way why are you guys taking so long?"

Charlmilia who was not far from them added.

Meanwhile, Jinn and Asura continued to fight above the arena. Hit each other, dodge and defend. Although only empty-handed, but arguably a high-level fight.

"I don't have to tell you all about my personal affairs. I wonder why those two stupid Knights are so sticky now."

"That's their business and I don't think we should interfere, but I'm really amazed that even if it's not a witch, the young man can have a balanced fight with Jinn."

"But the two of them haven't seriously fought yet."

"Eh?"

Kuro's words left Laila confused and shocked.

While Charlimilia and Yui nodded in agreement.

"Asura can use Ki, while Jinn can use magic. If they're serious, this fight is getting interesting."

About 8 teenagers plus 4 children were cheering on a young man named Asura.

On the other hand, no one supported Jinn.

"I didn't expect anyone other than Kuro who was this strong in the Blad clan, I now believe why the Blad clan is known to have such an amazing fighter."

"Thank you, but this is nothing."

Jinn resisted Asura's attack in the form of a tubered punch. The speed of the Asura punch even made it seem as if his hands numbered a lot.

Jinn managed to hold back, but she also received a lot of attacks. His body was scuffed and bruised in various places was proof of that.

Actually Asura was not much different, but he looked fresher.

"Receive this!"

"?!"

The Asura body gave off a white aura. That white aura then gathered on Asura's fist.

The distance between them was about 15 meters, but Asura was in a hitting position. Could Asura be able to use Accell Art?

(No. Tekhnik that.).

Jinn instantly activated the magic arm in the form of armor that covered her hands.

Jinn then put on the same hitting position as Asura.

"[Raising Blast.]"

"[Hammer Fist]"

The two of them instantly struck empty air, but the white and red ball shot out like a bullet and clashed in the middle of the arena.

Bommm...

The explosion occurred simultaneously with red and white light shining down on the arena.

Everyone who saw it was shocked and shocked. As for Kuro, he only smiled a little.

After the light disappeared, the crater was seen at the center of the explosion with a diameter of 3 meters as evidence of 2 opposing forces.

"Huh.huh...huh...."

"Huh.huh...huh...."

The two gasped for breath, but smiled happily.

"Not bad for ordinary people."

"You're not bad for a witch either."

Then they hit again, but-

"Yes."

A wind sword darted between Jinn and Asura before it could collide blows.

They stopped then turned their heads towards Yui who was standing beside Kuro. The eyes of the two of them widened because they did not understand the reason for their fight to be disturbed.

(I don't see Yui doing that.)

Charlimilia was surprised that Yui passed the wind sword technique like she did not move at all.

It seems like Yui used Accell Art to create the wind sword or was it Yui's true strength?

"Kurou."

"Sister Kuro."

They looked towards the perpetrator who stopped their fight.

"Sorry, but that's enough. Jinn, if you get hurt more than this, I think I'll leave you here and let you have fun until you're satisfied. As for you Asura, I know you are happy to find a good opponent, but this is not the time to do this."

"All right, brother."

Asura understood the meaning of Kuro's words.

As for Jinn, she only gave a small smile because she also understood Kuro's reason.

"We'll continue when."

"I'm looking forward to it too."

The two of them then shook hands as a sign they would fight once again to determine who would be the winner.

The two of them then descended from the training arena. Jinn walked over, while Asura jumped up high and landed right above Kuro while preparing to hit Kuro.

Kuro only smiled, but he immediately spun and kicked right at Asura's fist.

The wind was blowing fiercely from the clashing hands and feet, not only that, Kuro's feet sank to the ground due to the force of the Asura's punch which had incredible power.

"Sister!?"

"I admit you've improved since we last met, but it's still 1000 years early if you want to win from me."

"Is it really like that?"

"?!"

Asura then pushed back his body. He then rotates in the air and uses his legs to kick Kuro's leg in no time.

Asura's kick made Kuro's body sink even more.

Everyone who saw that could only widen their eyes and could only hold their breath.

"?! Don't tell me you're..."

"I told you you're still 1,000 years ahead of me."

Asura then stopped and landed in front of Kuro.

"Kuro, are you okay?" ask Laila.

He slightly moved away as Asura hit Kuro.

"Don't worry. It's just a little game between the two of us."

"I didn't expect to still not be able to win even though brother Kuro was weak. I'm really pathetic"

Asura looked disappointed and saddened at the failure. But his gaze did not show him giving up.

"At least you managed to make my legs tingle, I think you've improved a lot. Oh yeah, is everyone still practicing like they used to?"

"Yes, it's a pity that we don't have match practice, so when your friend comes, where might we waste this opportunity."

"so apparently... I understand your feelings, but we have business so we don't have much time."

"Why are you always like this? You rarely go home, but you always leave for no apparent reason."

"You're overdoing it, but after this business is over, I promise to take a vacation and teach you again."

"really that? Promise?"

"Ahh. I promise."

Asura immediately looked pleased, but when glancing at Laila-san

"Who is this beautiful girl?"

"Deliver you, she's Laila, my future wife."

"......huh?"

After that, Asura hit Kuro again suddenly arriving right at the part of his face.

Kuro's body bounced and rolled tens of meters back before stopping.

"Kuroooo....."

Once again Laila ran over to Kuro whose eyes were turning round with dizziness with a worried face.

"Why did you do that?"

"Take it as a man's outburst of anger, Brother Yui."

"Ahh. I understand."

Not only Yui, it seemed that everyone understood Asura's feelings.

After a while, Kuro got up with a swollen face.

"Laila, tell everyone to come to my house. I have something to talk about on our mission."

"Well, but what about you?"

"It's nothing, but I'm glad you're worried."

"Where might I not worry when I see you get hurt, you idiot."

They both smiled at the same time.

"Ahh.. they do it again..."

"They don't know where and when to make out."

"I hate this.."

Jinn, Charlmilia and Knox could only complain.

Afterwards, they return to Kuro's house with Yui.

They sat in the living room, except for Yui and Laila who were preparing tea.

Aldest and Lairo sat together like glue.

While everyone was sitting down, only Kuro was standing up and began to explain even though his cheeks were still swollen.

"There's something I want to tell you. Besides, I want the four of you to either stay here or go to Dragonia and die."

Everyone was shocked except Aldest.

"Kuro, what's maxu- ?! Don't tell me you didn't want us to come with you in the first place?"

"Is this why you stopped at this place? I didn't expect us to be played by you from start to finish. You really are the devil." said Knox in a cold tone.

Despite that, Kuro did not react to anything. He's used to it.

"As far as you guys. You know nothing about the enemy this time. Aldest, I think we should tell them. Do you want your girlfriend dead?"

Aldest immediately took off his embrace and looked at Kuro sharply, but he then gave a small smile.

"Ah.. You're right..."

"Aldest. you-"

Lairo was surprised. He realized it seems Aldest already knew Kuro's plan. This was the reason he did not protest when Kuryuu Academy's student came along.

While the atmosphere was tense, Yui and Laila came out of the kitchen carrying cakes and tea.

After putting the cake and tea, Laila stood beside Kuro with a calm expression as if she already knew.

"Laila, you too-"

"Only the four of you do not know the truth that happened in Dragonia. And I guess for you to know, right?"

Just then, Kuro said with a devilish smile.

"Aldest, it's okay, right?"

Aldest nodded.

"If they come along, they will become a burden and die. We can't let that be fufu..."

"You're both right..."

Jinn could only hold back the anger. Knox and Charlmilia were also only able to grit their teeth. Lairo is more shocked than angry

"You know [Necrodra]?"

"...huh?"

"Necromancia Dragon or [Necrodra], but it's easy they're Dragon Zombies that are resurrected with magic."

"We know that. Do you think we're stupid?"

Zombies are raised by Necromancers. Usually Zombies will only have 60-70% strength like when they were alive. But they have stronger physical strength. This is common knowledge because the case of witches resurrected from the dead is not uncommon.

But-but

"You are the fools. You already know the mess one dragon made, but you're still gone."

"?!"

"Our enemy is not just one Necrodra, I can even guarantee that the number can reach hundreds. Not only that, [Necrodra's] strength is the same as when living, no, I think it's stronger now."

Kuro now could not estimate the enemy's strength because the enemy was someone capable of using the Skullia Crystal.

This was the reason why he had to prepare for the worst.

"But if it's that bad, wouldn't it be better if we came along?"

"Yes. Charl's right. Aren't many people better?"

Jinn added.

"Not this time. I don't have time to babysit you, so I hope you can stay calm in this village until we get back."

"Lairo, I asked for the same thing."

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

Silence is created.

For Lairo, now he knows why Aldest suddenly acted strangely to declare his love.

As for Charlmilia, Jinn and Knox, they did not understand Kuro's reason for thinking about their safety.

But there was one thing that made the three of them angry.

"Kuro, in short you don't want us to come because the three of us....weak?"

Knox and Jinn showed the same expression as Charlmilia.

"Thank God you understand. I don't have to explain panjan-"

An ice knife floated next to Kuro's head and stuck it in the wall before it could be finished.

Everyone was shocked to find out in the room only Yui could use water magic.

"Don't underestimate me. Why do you think we're weak when you don't know anything about us."

Ice spears appeared and floated around Charlmilia.

"Charl,-"

"So it seems, the Divine Contractor is indeed different..."

Wind and water. That was the magic element of Charlmilia who was a Divine Contractor. It's a great thing considering that witches can only use one element.

But a case like Charlmilia is not strange and not the first time.

"Aldest, do you also think I'm weak?"

Lairo doesn't want to lose to the three of them.

"......sadly, yes. You're weak."

"What?"

Lairo was really surprised.

But Aldest is right. Lairo is weak.

The Knight Commander is proof that Aldest is the strongest man in the Knight's base. Lairo, who was just an ordinary Knight, could be said to have only ordinary strength like a worker ant.

"I can't seem to stop you from coming even if you know you're going to die..."

Kuro realized their determination all from a burning gaze and without hesitation. They really reminded Kuro of Laila.

"Yes. You said we had to choose..."

".....And you know our choice."

"The three of us will still be coming."

"I'm the same. I don't want to leave you, Aldest. Besides, I'm your lover."

The four of them chose.

And Kuro knew the four of them would choose that.

"If you're dead, don't blame me."

One by one, they start smiling after knowing that Kuro has not stopped them even though they all know that Kuro can do that.

"But I have conditions for you."

"...huh?"

The meeting was finally finished with the decision they would still leave.

But to go not to die, but to return.

After preparing the supplies, they all went towards the elevator.

Yui came to take them all.

They arrived at the elevator door and waited for the elevator to come down, which was when Lairo asked one thing that was troubling her mind.

"Aldest, why are you taking me?"

To Lairo, this still feels strange. However, Lairo still did not understand.

If Lairo is strong, it could be a reason to take her. Besides Aldest loves himself. He shouldn't have invited himself because it was too dangerous.

If to dispel the grudge in his heart by looking at Kuro, the Witch Reaper who killed his father, this still made no sense to Lairo.

"Of course I don't want you looking for another girl when I'm gone."

A surprising and at the same time frightening answer.

"Ahh..."

Lairo smiled wryly.

At the same time, the elevator reached the bottom. The door was open, but there was someone inside.

About 7 adult males wearing black robes carried sacks and groceries on their shoulders. They were all people of the Blad clan who had just returned after purchasing groceries.

"Ohh... Kuro. Why did you leave? We shopped to greet you."

One spoke to Kuro.

"Thank you, but I have to go. By the way where's my dad?"

"That's what I want to ask. What are you saying so Roka's like an undead?"

"Could this girl be your future wife?" ask the others who are aware of the closeness of Kuro and Laila.

"Yup. I hope you're not jealous."

"Basin' a fucking boy."

They laugh together.

But only one person remained silent at the sight of Kuro's familiarity with one of the adult men.

"Dad..."

One of the men immediately glanced at Lairo. Two people who have not met for 2 years look at each other with a look of disbelief and surprise.

"Oh... Aldest. You're healthy."

"Yes. Uncle Straus. As you can see I'm fine."

"Do you know Uncle, your son and Aldest are officially dating."

Kuro joined in on the conversation between the two of them.

Others were surprised and realized one thing.

The person who was currently talking to Kuro and Aldest was one of the Knights who had died 2 years ago and was Lairo's father.

But why is it still alive?

Moreover, it seemed that Aldest already knew this point.

"I was a little surprised, but I can guess that Aldest shot first. Is he still the same coward as he used to be?"

Aldest nodded slowly with a reddened face. She is still a girl who can be ashamed.

"It's a shame we don't have much time to talk. There's a country I need to save immediately."

"Alright, we are all here praying for your safety and that of your future wife. Of course your friend."

After that, Kuro and the others entered the elevator. Aldest and Lairo looked glum as they entered the elevator.

Their distance is even further away.

"Aldest, you...."

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

Aldest was silent and said nothing.

As for Laila, now she knows why Kuro knew Lairo was the son of one of the Knights in the case two years ago.

Inside the elevator, Kuro glanced at Lairo who was pouting and looking angry.

But it's natural. Aldest knew, but never told Lairo.

"Finely tell me everything so you can get along again. We're on our way to the battlefield, so make up before you die and regret."

"Shut your mouth!"

"It's a shame you don't have the right to tell me, you idiot. In this world there are many secrets that should not be revealed, even between father and son."

"........."

"But one thing you should know, you should be happy because out of the 200 Knights I killed two years ago, he was one of the 7 Knights I forgave."

Lairo's eyes widened as he realized Kuro's intent.

Kuro only smiled faintly when he saw Lairo's reaction.

"If you want, I can kill your father right in front of you so you can see when your father breathes his last. How's it?"

"Kuro, stop that joke!"

Kuro immediately let out a small sigh as he scolded Laila.

"Yes yes... "

"Sister Kuro has always been a scary joke, fufufu..."

After that, everyone laughed except Aldest and Lairo.

Although the two of them knew Kuro only briefly, Kuro was the one who could do that.

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

Lairo glanced at Aldest. He looked at Aldest who looked scared and sad.

This is unusual, but why?

Since childhood, Lairo has always colonized Aldest, but he now knows it to attract his attention.

(Stupid, thinking. Use your little brain to find all this.)

That was when Lairo glanced at Kuro.

Although known as a slaughterer and cruel, but he was always accepted by people who knew him.

Kuro is a person who is willing to be a criminal for the sake of someone who is valuable to him.

"?!"

Lairo finally found the answer.

If Kuro is capable and willing to become a criminal, wouldn't others do it too?

This is something that is simple and understandable to anyone. Even fools don't have to learn to understand this.

Along with the elevator doors opening, Lairo decided to stop. Stop being a fool.

"Aldest. I'm sorry..."

"....It's a pity that I'm not that easy to forgive you."

"Eh?"

Although surprised, Lairo had already decided and opened his resolve.

He'll protect Aldest no matter what. Although they may be heading to the cemetery.
