Chapter 725: Extra Chapter ~ ~ Episode : Lunamaria ~ ~ (2/2)

Lunamaria knew the being in front of her…… she's one of the pinnacles of the Demon Realm that she remembered seeing at the Festival of Heroes……

[……Underworld King…… -sama……]

[Unnn?]

The moment she realized that the being in front of her was the Underworld King…… Kuromueina, Lunamaria jumped up and lowered her head so low that it was rubbing on the ground, she desperately shouted.

[I'm begging you! Please help me! If this goes on, Mom will…… Please! I'll do anything so please……]

She understood that her actions aren't just on the level of being disrespectful anymore. She knew that it wasn't acceptable to beg for something from the Six Kings…… but still, Lunamaria wanted to cling upon the possibility that she might grant her plea.

Thereupon, as Lunamaria's head was lowered, tears incessantly flowing down her eyes, a hand was gently placed on her shoulder.

[Unnn. It's alright…… I'm going to help you, so can you tell me what was going on?]

[Ahh…… Uuuu, a…… Monster…… Stampede…… Mom is facing them alone…… I can't do anything……]

[Stampede…… I see, so that's why those monsters were afraid……]

After hearing Lunamaria's story, Kuromueina looked like she was thinking about something before she gave her a dazzling smile.

[Don't worry, I will absolutely save your mother.]

[……Yes.]

The smile on her face, illuminated by the moonlight, made her look like the messiah in Lunamaria's eyes.

From then on, Kuromueina's actions were swift. She immediately rushed to the place Lunamaria told her, eradicated a huge number of monsters in an instant, and healed the severely injured Noir with Recovery Magic…… and carrying the unconscious Noir, she returned to where she left Lunamaria.

[Mom!?]

[Don't worry, she's just unconscious. She's alive and her injuries are healed.]

[A- Ahhh…… Thank you very much! Thank you so much! I don't know how to thank you……]

[Don't worry about it. I only helped you because I wanted to. Rather than that, it was quite the disaster, wasn't it? ……You did a great job. It's alright now. Come on, I'll take you home.]

[……Yes.]

Lunamaria was relieved from the bottom of her heart. To the fact that her beloved mother was still alive……

Thereupon, Kuromueina brought Lunamaria and Noir back to their home. After laying the unconscious Noir on the bed, Kuromueina was about to leave, but Lunamaria stopped her.

[U- Ummm! Underworld King-sama!]

[Unnn?]

[I'm Lunamaria…… I will not forget this debt! I'll never forget it!!!]

[You don't really have to worry that much about it. I'm Kuromueina. If fate permits, I'll see you again.]

[Yes!]

As Kuromueina left with a smile on her face, waving her hand at her, Lunamaria saw her off, bowing her head several times until she was out of sight.

From this moment on, Kuromueina became her benefactor and the one she respected above anyone else.
