Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

The Calm Before Storms II

Day three. 10 more days before Ringblood Moon happens.

Laila woke up from her beautiful dream. But when he tried to move his body, he couldn't. Not because his body is better. When compared to before, his body now feels normal and back on time. He really is recovering.

He had to thank Yui who had treated his injuries. Although Yui's way is a little abnormal, it doesn't change the fact that Yui is treating her.

The reason why he couldn't wake up was because someone was bullying him. If Yui's body, then she would be able to move. There was only one person in this world who dared to do it while naked.

"Jeezzz.. Kuro, wake. How long are you gonna hug me like a kid?"

Kuro started to get up and move. But Kuro hugged Laila more and more and kissed her on her stomach.

"Hey! Don't do it come. I feel like you're the end of this getting so. Well.. instead of me resisting, ta-hya. hey stop‼"

Kuro finally showed his figure from under the blanket. Kuro smiled faintly as he felt Laila's body. He was really excited today.

"Yes. ah.. msn...."

Laila sighed erotically, and it made Kuro even more unable to resist the temptations of the demons within her and her mind.

Without caring about Laila's opinion, she kisses and fondles the body of the person most precious to her. Not only that, Kuro returned to the blanket and kissed in the most sensitive place for Laila.

"Hnn.. Ku.ro.. Stop-hyaa... "

Laila squirms. Although she screamed and refused, Kuro knew Laila was enjoying it.

A red face and embarrassment are signs for Kuro.

"I.ro... ha. ha. hent.ti.kan.ku.... sud.ah..."

After feeling enough and satisfying Laila, Kuro stops. He reappeared from under the blanket and kissed Laila's neck leaving a reddish mark.

Kuro then moved to Laila's ear which was now flushed like a tomato and said;

"..i love you, Laila."

"Huh.hh.."

Laila's breathing was still not regular, but she smiled. He could feel Kuro's heartbeat now pounding. His warmth, affection, love, affection and lust mixed into the figure he loved the most.

"..i love you too, Kuro. But... You know it's not time to do this, right?"

Hearing that, Kuro showed a face that did not care and instead headed towards Laila's chest and used it as a pillow.

"I don't care. Right now I just want to do this. .. Don't you like it?"

Of course Laila likes a fun moment and is full of love. But-but

"I never said that, it's just that I don't think it's the right time. Besides why are you spoiled so much today? Are you a child?"

"All right, I'm a kid. Now may I have some milk?"

Laila's face was instantly red. At the same time, Kuro did what a baby did.

"Yes...‼ aaaa. ah ms. don't do that. My chest hasn't been milking me yet and why are you acting like this?"

Kuro stopped and looked at Laila softly. A look full of warmth and love.

"..aha ha... Why are you still asking?"

The smile instantly disappeared changing with a smile full of anger.

... He had a bad feeling about that smile. And that conjecture was immediately proven when Kuro again whispered and said;

"Laila, I know you're using a dangerous Magic Art, ..may I have an explanation?"

".....aaahh."

Laila remembers Kuro is the type of person who respects the decisions of others. That's why he let Laila fight, train, or even do strange things. But that doesn't mean Kuro has no boundaries.

And Laila has broken that limit.

That's why Kuro is angry. Unfortunately Kuro is not the one who will hit if he is angry, but instead does the opposite and punishes with sharp and piercing words.

To Laila it was the most unpleasant inner torment.

"If you understand, why don't we talk about this in more detail and seriously? And of course so that we can prevent something unwanted from happening. Oh. If you don't understand what's going on, maybe I'll set the easiest example."

Kuro paused for a moment and smiled once more. That smile was even more terrifying than before.

"You must know that I have a lot of money, because you're smart, you can guess what I would do with that kind of money if I was angry, right?"

If you had enough money to buy a country, what would you do? Laila never had that kind of money, so she never thought about it. But the right question is what would someone like Kuro do if he intended to use that kind of money to do bad things.

"..Err.. are you threatening me?"

"No. You're wrong to think I'm threatening you, but you should know how much you're worth to me. If you're sick, I'm sicker. If you get hurt, I get hurt more. And certainly the opposite. But. You don't seem to understand that."

Is correct. What all Kuro said was true.

What Kuro felt was also Laila feeling. That's why he understood what Kuro's words meant.

Tears slowly came out from both of Laila's eyes. He's not sad. He only realized when he was injured, there were more injured than him.

"Sorry Kuro. B-But I want to become stronger in order to fight with you. I am tired of being a burden and can only depend on you. All this happened because I wasn't strong enough. I can't even beat Yui."

"...you're stronger than you think. You're not a burden. You're wrong to think that way. There is always someone stronger than us in this world. If you think you can defeat all enemies with just your strength, then that is a big mistake. I always try not to advise you because I'm sure you'll understand by yourself, but you've gone too far this time."

"Errrr..... Is that how angry you are?"

Kuro is not just angry. He's also worried.

"Yeah.Now stop your crying and we'll talk about the magic art you kept secret from me. If you want to become stronger, I think we should discuss this seriously."

Magic art is not only powerful, but also like a double-edged sword. If Laila doesn't master the magic art immediately, she'll never be able to use it in battle.

(Even though he doesn't remember the power he used before he fainted, I think it's some sort of hidden power Laila. Hm... I think I should find out about this.)

Kuro has no clue, but he can guess who has it.

"alright. I also want to know how to use it to make it better. But this time you have to be serious. I don't want my magic art to be called a fish bomb anymore."

Laila pouted. He remembered very well when Kuro underestimated his strongest magic art. Although it was Re;break magic art that harmed his body, yet it seemed to impress Kuro.

This is a matter of pride for Laila.

"Yes yes...."

Kuro smiled slightly. He didn't show that he was angry.

He woke up, but he picked up Laila and carried Laila like a princess. Still naked, the two of them came out of their rooms.

"...where are we?"

"Because you sleep all day I think I should bathe you. I haven't done it in a long time.... Besides, I want to talk to you about a few things."

Looking at the wide smile filled with indecision, Laila could guess what would happen next.

Today may be a wild day.

💠💠💠

At the same time, under the imperial palace. A teleportation magic has been activated.

After the light disappeared, several figures were now visible. Riana who activated teleportation magic approached and welcomed the arrival of several figures who arrived.

"Welcome. I'm the third princess, Riana Levt Vermilist welcomes the four of you."

💠💠💠

"Geez, I know you're planning on getting married, but can you not do that in front of me?"

Yui showed a blank look. He was angry, but he did not show it directly. He kept trying to be patient with what he saw before his eyes.

"Tell that to Kuro. You know what semesum he is. I also didn't think she would bathe me like a child."

Laila glanced at Kuro who was soaking not far from the two. Unlike the two, he showed a satisfied face. Overcompleted.

Yui and Laila certainly knew what caused it.

"By the way, why are you here?"

"I'm definitely in hot water." Yui replied in a flat tone. "Didn't I come here first and you forced me to look at what happened?"

The hot spring in the house was no surprise. If you remember the events before, all this is very reasonable. The atmosphere and decoration around the bathhouse were also the same as before. Filled with bamboo trees and rocks so it is like bathing in nature. It's just that the size of the bath is almost as wide as a basketball court is enough to make Laila surprised.

Laila's face flushed.

"Don't remind me of that shameful incident. We used to shower together, but only this time I felt ashamed like that."

"..sial.don't make me jealous by telling me about your affection. I didn't hear it. I didn't hear it."

Yui covered her ears and tried to run away from reality.

"Hm.. But is Laila's condition better?"

Yui changed the topic in order to survive.

"Yes. Thanks to you, I almost recovered. But don't do it again, I don't want to make Kuro jealous. You don't want to see Kuro like that."

Yui could guess. He then smiled wryly.

"She'll only rape you for hours. Yes yes yes. I can imagine it.." Yui said in a cynical tone.

"Don't say such a thing. If someone else heard it, it would be a problem."

"Mom, Dad. I'm sure you'll soon have grandchildren. I'm sure you'll be happy."

Yui looked up at the sky and made a pose of prayer like a sister in the church. Laila could only smile wryly looking at him.

"Thank you for the prayer, Yui. But something's been bothering me since. Why are you so naked in front of Kuro? Don't you have any shame?"

Meanwhile, Kuro suddenly disappeared somewhere.

This made Laila suspicious. She does feel that Kuro and Yui's relationship is a little abnormal when compared to the other siblings. Maybe it's because the two are not siblings, but still there is something that bothers Laila.

"I'd be ashamed to be seen by others, but we're talking about Kuro. He is a person who does not hesitate to invite people he just knew to take a bath together. You can guess what happened when we were kids. It's too late to say shame."

"Huh.."

Of course Laila could imagine it. It happened to him once.

"Ah. a little info for you. The baths in our village are very small, I think you can tell what happens when two people enter it. Right, ...kak Kuro?."

Yui uses her magic and binds Kuro's body with hot water. Then quickly dragged Kuro in front of them.

Kuro then appeared like a crocodile.

"....At that time we were small and ..didn't you always enter the bathtub when I use it?"

"Gu's.."

Yui's face flushed red from remembering the incident as a child.

He knew Kuro wasn't his older brother, but he didn't care about it. At that time the feeling of love had not grown in Yui's heart.

"Well, as you saw for yourself, Laila. Don't be so trusting in what Yui says."

Despite the defense, Laila did not show her anger subsiding. He just looks angry.

"Laila?"

"...ah brother Kuro, did you forget now that we took a bath together. And unlike before, we're all grown up. Ha ha... What do you think of my change?"

Yui instantly stood up and showed all the parts of her body right before Kuro's eyes.

"Do I impress you now? Look at this, I'm sexy, right? In terms of beauty, I won't lose to Laila?."

Yui unhesitatingly posed sexy to tease Kuro. He seems confident in what he does.

A wet body and not covered by a thread will make any man tempted, but-

"....i'm not interested in my own sister's body." Answer Kuro in a flat tone.

Receiving rejection directly, Yui was like being struck by lightning. He was shocked and immediately bleached.

Yui falls into the hot water and no longer looks like a shipwreck.

"...."

Kuro then glanced at Laila who was still showing a displeased face. He smiled then moved closer to Laila's side.

"Hey, don't pout that way. Could you be jealous? Ha ha. You shouldn't be jealous, after all I won't turn away from you... Lai.la?"

Kuro then prepares to kiss Laila, but she instead receives a kiss, but a loud slap.

Although it was loud, it did not mean that it would hurt Kuro. It was just that his feelings were slightly receiving attacks.

"..Kuro, I'm glad you didn't turn your back on me, but can you not play with other people's feelings?"

Yui suddenly appeared with an excited face. Kuro's rejection seems like nothing to him. Maybe it was because he was rejected more often that he was used to it?

"Yay. Laila's brother is on my side. Brother Kuro, let's quickly make a baby he he he he..."

Kuro hugged Laila tightly and acted spoiled. Not to be outdone, Yui did too. Somehow there is an aura of competition from Yui and Kuro to capture Laila.

".....why is it like this?"

Laila could only sigh deeply.

💠💠💠

After bathing with a strange and chaotic atmosphere. Laila and the two brothers had a strange breakfast. Kuro is beside her while Yui is across.

Although large dining tables are usually found in luxury homes, they eat at small tables with food that is said to be enough for the three of them.

Guila and the other 5 maids were on standby around them.

Laila was already used to the atmosphere of eating in a luxurious house, so this was normal. He also understood why Kuro chose a small dining table over a large one. Togetherness is the most important thing.

"...oh yeah, you said you wanted to talk about something important?"

Due to the strange and uncontrollable situation, Laila finally had no time to hear what Kuro wanted to talk about.

Kuro swallowed his food and replied;

"yes too. While Yui is here, I don't think there's any harm in asking for your help."

"Give it all to me. Hm.. Could it be that you want to talk about the development of the search for Lic?"

Kuro nodded.

Since Yui was also a Shadow Knight, the information about losing Lic naturally already knew.

"really. I still don't know where Lic is, but I found it equally important. It could also be a way to find Lic."

After that Kuro told me everything. About an ancient magic ritual that coincides with the Ringblood Moon. The unknown enemy, and the possible presence of other catalysts besides Lic.

But he did not say who might be resurrected. All of that is still conjecture, so he doesn't want to get ahead before everything is certain.

"That way, even though we can't find Lic yet, but if we know any other catalyst, then the enemy will want to get it too."

"That means. If we manage to seize it first, then it's foiled all their plans.."

"Magic rituals that use Ringblood Moon. If they fail, it means they have to do it in two hundred years. I don't think anyone can wait that long, in other words they'll do everything for this ritual to work."

It's like building a tower with an end first. You could say that was the enemy situation.

But it also means the enemy will do things they did not expect. That's what makes them more dangerous than ordinary enemies.

"But brother Kuro, we still don't know what the magic ritual catalyst is, right?"

Kuro did not try to argue. Although they know the enemy's purpose, as long as they do not know what the enemy needs, all of it will be in vain.

"...actually I want to go to the library to find out, but someone here can't make me do it."

Laila wasn't stupid enough not to know what Kuro meant.

"I'm not angry. Besides, we still have enough time to search. I have also mobilized all my men and acquaintances to help. Sooner or later we'll hear from them."

"But I don't like to wait. I'm also looking for clues. Anyway Lic my daughter."

Laila was full of spirit. Although it sounded a little strange in the ear, yet as long as there was motivation, then it was enough.

"We're pretty much looking for the same magic ritual as the picture, right?" ask Laila.

"I'm happy with your spirit, Laila. I won't try to stop you, but if you're looking, you need to be accompanied by Yui."

Kuro glanced over to give a sign. Yui responded with a nod of understanding.

"Eh? Why am I being escorted? Do you doubt my powers?"

Kuro did not answer and instead showed a complicated face. For Laila, that's not a good sign.

"..Kuro?"

"Sister Kuro, ..maybe you didn't tell me that he couldn't use magic for a while?"

She could only widen her eyes.

💠💠💠

In the afternoon, Laila and Yui go to the library of Aste in the city center. They went on a train run by Guila.

The reason why they did that, was because Laila's house was in front of Kuro's house. Although there were plans to go home and meet with her parents, she felt it was too early. In addition, his current condition that can be said to be not good will only make both parents worry.

While passing by her front house, there was a feeling of guilt in Laila's heart. He could only apologize in his heart.

"Don't push yourself too hard. If you want to meet them, I'm sure Kuro won't ban you."

The carriage continued to advance gently and slowly began to leave Laila and Kuro's house.

"...no. I'd better see them after I find a lead on Lic. If not, my feelings are not calm. Besides, what should I explain to them about my relationship with Kuro?"

The unnatural relationship he had with Kuro. He does not regret it and feels happy with his current relationship.

But until now he had still not heard the response from his family. It made her worried.

"....uh.just take it easy. I'll help you. I'll tell you everything I know without anything I've reduced a bit."

"You can't hide your bad intentions."

Laila holds onto Yui and starts to tickle her.

"You're definitely going to tell me about this morning right... aha ha.. do you want me to die of shame?"

"Ah. I give up I give up. I'm sensitive in that part..."

Laila ignored Yui. He wanted to avenge Yui's treatment of him.

This is a good sign that they will become brothers who get along later on.

About an hour, Laila and Yui arrived at Aste's library. After putting the carriage in the provided place, Guila accompanied them into the library.

While looking at the large and magnificent building, Laila recalled the memories of meeting Kuro at that place.

If not for Kuro's blessing, he would have enjoyed their teacher's dark kare.

"...why are you laughing by yourself?"

"It's not what. I just remember something."

They climbed the stairs and started entering the library.

Although Laila was one of Paladin's daughters, she did not seem to be the center of attention of those around her.

One of the reasons may be that Laila is currently known to be in the city of Areshia, so where might she be in the capital. Second, as an S rank mage, Laila exuded mana pressure that was stronger than ordinary mages. At the moment, he was emitting almost no pressure.

But this also happens the opposite.

"...."

Before entering the library, Laila turned around and saw the sight of people passing by.

He could not feel the usual sensation he was feeling. The sensation as he sensed the so-called mana life energy from the people around him. Is this what it feels like to be an ordinary person?

No. gabe. Even though he could not feel the pressure of mana and did not emit any pressure, it did not mean that it made him an ordinary person like Kuro.

Laila closed her eyes for a moment. He concentrated and thought about who Kuro was.

Kuro is a special ordinary person who uses the power of ki. Laila knew what was called ki, yet she could never feel it.

That's when his desire to find out what it really is ki appeared.

If I can't use magic forever, could I possibly use ki?

"...."

Laila then laughed a little. That made him the center of attention.

"Sister Laila, what are you doing? Did you forget our purpose here?"

Laila refocused and continued her steps into the Aste library. Although it was a small possibility, yet this was one way that he could get back Lic. For the sake of his family, he would be happy to spare a time filled with boredom.

-At the same time, Kuro is currently heading towards his investigation spot. Unlike Laila and Yui who were riding on a luxurious train, she jumped over the roof of the building like an ape.

He wears the mask he used when he was a Shadow Knight and Akashi. The reason he did so was so that he would be more free in seeking information.

Not to forget he brought the Crystal Box which serves to store both of his white swords.

"Well, who's first?"

Using Froy's investigation data, Kuro is currently finding clues to several people involved in the incident.

He activated Cristal Age. The data of the person he was looking for appeared in front of him.

The first one has the nickname Berdi. His real name is Benjamin Dust. 35 Year old. Ordinary people. He has a company that serves services between goods. You could say he channeled goods from one region to another. His efforts are arguably quite successful and famous.

At first glance there was nothing strange, but Kuro knew it was just the outside.

Kuro then read the data regarding the other people. They are not all that different from Benjamin. Ordinary people and have a pretty famous business. There are those who process rare metal mining, crafts, process vegetables with good quality and such.

It will take time to investigate everything, but when Kuro sees the latter's data, he immediately gets a bad feeling.

The last person is completely different from the rest.

"It's bad... I know what he is like. I didn't expect him to be involved in this."

Kuro jumped and continued to jump. At first he was heading towards one of Benjamin's business premises, but he changed direction.

But at that moment he realized that it was not only him who wanted to go to that place. Or not..-.-.

(Enemy?)

Kuro's question was instantly answered as a light shot towards him like a bullet.

"?!"

A huge explosion occurred in the sky of the city making panic and become the center of attention.

The alarm immediately sounded a sign of danger. Residents quickly took steps to evacuate.

After a few minutes, the bustling city had now become as desolate as a ghost town. All that was left was Kuro standing at the top of a lightning rod that was as small as a drumstick.

"...Geez, can you guys not be too flashy?"

Kuro could only sigh deeply as he looked at the figure that appeared in front of him.

A burly man with a strange white mask on his face. The mask doesn't even have a hole to look at. From his aura, Kuro knew he was no ordinary magician.

From the man's hand appeared a huge sword that was almost the size of a human. You could say a kind of greatsword. It was the man's magic arm.

"Disregarding me..."

Kuro gave a small sigh. He did not use his white sword and only prepared with a defensive position.

The main reason why he didn't use it, right now he doesn't use Kuro's identity, but Akashi's. If Kuro is an ordinary person who has the equivalent strength of a Master, but Akashi is just a rich young man who is good at martial arts.

The second reason was that he was currently dealing with an enemy that he still did not know his identity and the reason why the man had attacked him.

"...."

Kuro glanced down. It seemed that they had already caught the attention of the Knight who was in the region.

The approaching knights numbered 12. Four of them had already summoned their magic arm. While the rest are likely Contractor types, but that is not certain. But that's not the problem.

The real problem was whether the man in front of him was an enemy or someone on the government side like a Knight. Kuro didn't take long to figure it out.

The masked man darted forward towards him and attacked. At that moment his sword glowed, Kuro still did not know what kind of magic the man had, but most importantly he had to dodge.

With his speed, Kuro managed to dodge the attack, but the man did not stop swinging his sword.

"?"

With Kuro's speed, he could see as if the man's movements had become slow. With his speed, Kuro thinks and predicts the attack of each opponent. It was then that he knew what the man was doing, which was to attack the Knight who came interfering.

The sword flashed a light like the wind sword Kuro used to use, but it had a different speed. The knights who were aware of the attack immediately dodged, but one of them chose to use the Shield's magic art to defend. Unfortunately, the Knight was split in two.

Upon seeing one of his comrades die a terrible death, the surviving Knights showed their anger and jumped onto the roof to attack the man. User-type Knights attacked up close, while Contractors deployed their magic beasts.

With the difference in numbers, the Knight's victory was already assured. They often give attacks to the man. Even one of the Knights managed to cut off the man's hand, but the man did not show any expression from behind his mask.

All Knights were aware that right now they were like fighting with the dead.

"...."

Kuro who was just observing the fight now he started to move. Not because victory is certain, but the number of enemies is increasing.

From various places appeared a figure wearing the same mask as the first man. Realizing the number of enemies increased, the Knights stopped attacking one enemy and formed a circular formation.

In the initial fight they won the amount, but now the conditions turned around. They are the ones surrounded.

The battle between a Knight and a masked enemy enters a new chapter
