MONOCHROME: Choice Of Destiny
Chapter 5 the oath

lucy and I went to the mountain to hunt monsters and not long ago a group of white wolves appeared.

"haaahhh!!"

lucy lunged straight at the wolf, the wolf responded by opening its mouth preparing to squeak lucy but the wolf's head immediately fell to the ground.

the angry wolves started attacking more aggressively but lucy killed them one by one like she was dancing.

the wolf appears from the snow intending to attack Lucy's open back but before reaching it the wolf splits vertically and falls to the ground.

"shit! you purposely left your back open to test me

"hehe who knows, but you're not bad at cutting the wolf in half"

I looked around and it seemed like all the wolves had been killed by lucy, even until now she had not used her magic.

"i've shown my skills now it's your turn to be in the front row and hand your rider over to me"

"but all the monsters around here are gone"

"today's special so we're going up a little bit further"

"alright"

after walking for a few minutes we found a group of snow bears and unlike the wolves that were waiting for us to attack these bears directly crashing down immediately upon seeing us.

I resisted the bear's attack and shifted the weight slightly to the left then I chopped off his head with one powerful swing, another bear attacked but this time I took a step back waiting for the bear's foot to land on the ground then stabbed its head quickly.

as before, a bear appeared behind me and

"squaw!"

immediately I was thrown from being hit by a bear to roll on the snow, the bear continued its attack on me but not until the bear's head was cut off, I used light magic to extend my sword form.

"fuckin!! I purposely let the bear show up because I thought you'd be guarding my back"

"fufu~ have you never been taught not to trust the devil?"

"fucking"

"here let me heal"

lucy put her hand on my back while reciting a spell and after that the wound on my back healed

"why can demons use healing magic? though it was light element magic"

"the magic is not the power of a god but rather the power of nature as long as you beg, where it will manifest in the form of magic, well but the effect is affected by the affinity of the elements so it is not wrong either"

"even demons can use light magic if they cast spells like this, O great spirits of light, light up my path and eliminate the darkness of fast light!"

lucy's hand gave off a bright light.

"look? it's just that this is not taught because it is not effective to use in battle because it has to cast a long spell so many people who prefer to focus on learning magic that has a high affinity because of it no need for a patch to use."

"i still have a lot to learn"

"how about we go home? I have something to talk to you about"

"well, I want to take a shower too"

.

.

.

"ahhhh~ hot bath after tired of working is indeed the best"

now what am I gonna do? should I return to human territory for revenge? ahh no no I'm still too weak right now and I'm sure if I come back I'll be instantly killed as a traitor.

I went to the kitchen to get some water to drink but what is this!? damn eyes!!

I saw something I shouldn't have seen

lucy used an apron while cooking, damn it! now I understand what I meant by that.

so remember when my mom cooks in the kitchen with an apron and dad immediately hugs her from behind very romantically, ahh no no, if I do the same I'm sure I'll lose my hand.

well she is beautiful but still lost to my mother hmm right my mother is the best so no need to be tempted.

on the other side

"kyaaa~ she calls me beautiful and best, Giz chan you hear that?"

a woman rolls over on the mattress while holding her reddened cheeks.

now that I regret inserting my consciousness into this child's body,*I am even more surprised how this already weakened person could use the 24-hour domain nonstop even change its shape many times.

what makes me want to run away the most is that when I ask a little about ryutaro he will immediately tell me all about his sweet and cute son while blushing himself.

even a few days ago he turned his domain into a giant gallery containing photos, yap you can guess whose photo it is. as far as looking there are only small ryutaro photos to adulthood as if he was recording this every second. if you compose this image and open it quickly then you will see an animated ryutaro curriculum vitae, even equipped with sound!!? do you believe that*?

strangely in the picture was her husband's face on the sensor like she wouldn't allow me to see it.

"are you just going to look at it like this?"

"hmm? ahh yes of course, seeing your child grow up naturally is one of the greatest joys of a mother."

"this kid is going through a lot of hard times in the future"

I just realized I was saying something I shouldn't have said.

"fufu~ if something happens then I will assume that this world has received its destruction"

"please think mature before you do"

it may sound silly and exaggerated but I know that this figure is not joking and is more than capable of doing so. a figure that even the gods fear, a figure capable of treating a dragon lord like a lizard.

if this figure goes berserk I hope that figure will also reappear to calm him down as it did 10,000 years ago.

as a note the domain changed back into a room called a cinema and on-screen displays ryutaro who was dining with lucy.

.

.

.

"so? what do you want to talk about?"

I remember what Lucy said while hunting

"hmm? I want to ask you what you're going to do next."

"to be honest I don't know what to do from now on, all I have in mind is to train and get stronger"

"you know, if you don't have a plan, how old are you?"

"18 years"

I lied, I am 22 years old now but since my appearance has not changed since I was called into this world so it is better to avoid suspicion that my age and appearance do not match.

"hehh it turns out that we are the same, I plan to return to the capital to continue my education.so I offer you would you come with me?"

"you know I don't have the money to go to school and I'm not sure if it's okay to trouble you more than this."

even though I'm in trouble doesn't mean I don't have the shame to depend on others.

"maybe you don't believe me?"

"no, it's not like that."

"then there's no problem, maybe you doubt that because you don't know my identity, I'm lucy von Lucifer the number one noble family in the demon world"

"i appoint you as my knight and will serve me until death, didn't you say you wanted to return the favor? I think it's a good time to make it happen"

godammit! he attacked me when I couldn't resist

"if you can figure out what reason you're pointing to a suspicious person like me as a knight? maybe I'll stab you in the back one day"

"it's just a possibility, and I just need to punish you if you dare to do it, then, all humans associated with the devil will be considered as traitors and will be executed and based on your story it looks like you and your friend have been thrown out by the church so if you stab me in the back you'll just be a fugitive the whole world."

"haha I can't seem to refuse."

I lowered my head on one knee and then Lucy put her sword over my shoulder.

"i Takeda Ryutaro swore to serve the princess lucy von Lucifer as her faithful knight and will serve her until her death"

"fufu~ is pretty good"

"do I have to call you young lady now?"

"want me to kill?"

"it's okay to just joke"

and that's how I became the princess knight of the lucifer family.
