Chrono Story

"Time is limitless anyway."

- Elluka Clockworker

Chrono Story is a song released as part of Evils Kingdom on December 22, 2010 and later posted on Niconico Douga by Akuno-P on May 9, 2011. It is the sixth song in the Clockwork Lullaby Series, tying both to the Seven Deadly Sins Series and Original Sin Story together as part of the Evillious Chronicles.

Plot
The song starts in the Forest of Held as Hänsel asks Gretel if she can hear birds or see the moonlight. Gretel replies that she actually hears the "cry of the forest" and sees the light from the fire. The twins recount how they killed the woman they called "mother" and found the Original Sin she left behind. They split her Sin into seven pieces: Lust, the Flower, Gluttony, the Seed, Pride, the Stone, Envy, the Spring, Sloth, the Wind, Greed, the Soil, and Wrath, the Forest. In the process, they unleash the Seven Deadly Sins into the world and pray that it will keep turning.

In response to this event, the tree of Held asks an old friend, Elluka Clockworker, to retrieve the sins. At this she considers how she was given immortality after destroying "that which was precious," but only feels emptiness as a result. Concluding her thoughts, she agrees to do so as long as it keeps her entertained, stating that her "time is unlimited anyway". The PV then depicts Elluka going on her journey to find the Sins. It shows the four main harem girls Maylis, Gumina, Lukana, and Mikulia. At the end of the PV she arrives at Duke Sateriasis Venomania's mansion.

The Lunacy of Duke Venomania
The Lunacy of Duke Venomania describes an event that occurs after Chrono Story, showing what takes place in Elluka's next destination searching for the vessels of sin.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The root word chrono is Greek for "time".
 * The song title's romanization (Kurono Sutori) can be interpreted as meaning "Dark Story" (Kuro no Sutori).

Curiosities

 * In the Evils Court booklet, Gammon Octo summarizes the events of the song; humorously, he comments right after that the characters involved perplexed him.
 * The Evils Court crossfade lists the song as a secret meeting between Elluka and Held and that many of the schemes in Evil's Theater were made possible due to his leaving from the mortal realm.
 * In the song, Wrath is represented by the color white; it is later represented by the color green in Judgment of Corruption.
 * Before introducing Elluka, the song PV depicts her three incarnations throughout the Evillious Chronicles: her original form, her body swap with Lukana Octo, and her body swap with Kayo Sudou.
 * The events mentioned about Elluka's past are expanded upon in Recollective Musicbox; similarly, the song ends where the Seven Deadly Sin Series begins with The Lunacy of Duke Venomania.
