Kuro no Maou - Chapter 415

Chapter 415

I was interrupted by Lily’s innocent voice while I was thinking of the war situation seriously .

In the direction her small index finger pointed, there was a gaudy group standing out noticeably more . They were wearing a plate armor like in ancient Rome and it was radiant with all the gold ornaments . However, even at this distance, I understood that that was actually quite practical and had quite a high magic effect hidden inside . Although weak, my 6th sense is sense various different magic from it .

Naturally, the ones who normally wear such equipment are very muscular men . No, it is actually kinda obvious for adventurers who wear those to be muscular but this group looked considerably stronger . As there were portions in the armor revealing their bodies, their muscles were visible .

“I see, so they are the pro gladiators . ”

It is my first time seeing one but there’s probably no mistaking that they are gladiators . Their splendor equipment was befitting of their reputation and the way they walked majestically gave off no weak spots, showing how they were experts in battles . Above all, even the adventurers moved to give way to them, parting the crowd of people to create a line . I experienced this when I was in the victory celebration .

“It feels like one of them is kinda coming our way, doesn’t it…?”

Just as Fiona said, someone was coming straight towards us after separating with the gladiators . Even before I could think why or who is that, the crowd split, creating a line towards us .

“Yo, good morning . You guys are the Element Masters, right?”

He stated imposingly with a refreshing smile .

“…Yes, why do you ask?”

He had an incredibly beautiful face .

He had wavy blonde hair reaching his shoulders and mild blue eyes with a striking mole under the eye . Even though he is a guy, his platinum blonde hair looked as charming as Lily’s and his sapphire eyes were as radiant as Nell’s .

I could declare that he had this charm . Even I was captivated for a moment there .

On top of that beautiful face, he also had a trained body with armor on . He didn’t have a single mark on his white skin, let alone any scars . It was clean to the point that it was creepy—as if he was a moving sculpture . With that gold plate mail and crimson mantle, he looked like a work of art .

“Nice to meet you, I am Farkius . I am the principal of the Gladiators squad ‘Starlight Spada’ but—judging from your expressions, it seems like you guys never heard of me, huh?”

Even his awkward ‘ahaha’ laugh looked like a picture . He even had a tenor voice . If he were to ask someone out with that face and voice, any Spada woman will surely fall in love .

“No, I have heard the name . But if I am not wrong, you’re supposed to be the most popular gladiator in Spada, right?”

If one lives in Spada, they will naturally hear topics about sword fights . Sword battles in Spada is like a fusion of idols, soccer and baseball in Japan .

And so naturally, even I heard the name of the person who reigns over the sword fighting world . Of course, I didn’t know how he looked but I can guess he is the one now that he is in front of me .

Either way, I don’t feel any hostility from this Farkius dude . I guess I will get off the horse and greet him for now .

“I am the Element Master Kurono . Well, what would a star athlete like you have to do with us?”

“Fufu, I would like it if you didn’t get so stiff . Aren’t you more famous now, Iskia’s hero-san?”

Farkius-san put his hand on my shoulder and said with a refreshing smile which could even stop a sobbing child from crying .

His touch was so gentle that one would doubt that his wrists really handle swords .

“Rank 5 adventurer and the principal, there’s no need to put one on top of another . There’s no need for formal language either, please refer to freely as Far . ”

No, that’s a bit… I guess I will compromise a little here .

“Thank you, Farkius . ”

“Fufu, I guess that’s fine for now . Well then, I will be calling you as Kurono-kun . ”

Farkius looked straight into my eyes wearing a smile without any worries . I could relax knowing that I was straight as I didn’t get startled by him .

“Ah, well, the reason I came by like this today was really just to greet you . As a gladiator who will be fighting alongside you . ”

I see, I guess he doesn’t have anything up his sleeve .

And just when I was convinced of that, he slid his hand from my shoulder to my other shoulder and joined shoulders naturally . This guy is smooth .

“But, you see, you have such a terrifying 2nd name—’Nightmare Berserker’, so I was curious before . I had heard in rumors that you were a demon-like man but—”

Our bodies were basically glued to each other . And since he was only a few centimeters shorter than me, our faces were close too . On top of that, he gave off this flowery scent too . The scent of a high-class perfume .

“I was surprised, seeing you’re such a beautiful person . Especially this black hair . It’s even darker and more black than the Avalon royalty’s and it’s very charming as well, to the point that it makes me kinda jealous . ”

Farkius’ other hand gently stroked my hair ends .

I jumped back in reflex .

“Could you, move away a bit?”

“Innocent too, huh? That’s cute too . ”

I felt a chill down my spine . Quite seriously too .

And what passed my mind was the scene of my elder sister being hit on by a flashy guy in the city . My sister’s expression left an impression on me as she gave a scornful look towards the gaudy guy who frivolously said some flowery words .

Well, we were able to get through that situation without any problems as the guy made a run for it after giving his wallet and saying ‘please, this is all I have now, please let me’ when I talked to him .

To think me, the guy who made the playboy run away, would be hit upon… Was this world such a scary place?
