Star Slashing Swordsman

"--What the hell do you want from me? [M] Anyway, as far as you can see, you're not going to mix it with the crusade, are you?

The next morning.

Early in the morning, I headed alone to the Adventurers Guild in the heart of King's Landing.

Shortly after I asked the receptionist if there was a person named Amses, he told me that I was sitting in a chair in the corner. I immediately walked under him.

"When I met you before, you said your abilities were a predictive system."

"Ah... that's what I was telling you. But what? I wonder what happened to it."

"With that ability, I want you to determine the position of the wizard hunter."

When I talk like that, Ames' eyebrows jump slightly. Apparently it was an unexpected offer to him.

"... Phew. The position of the" Wizard Hunter "man. Indeed, you're right, I can predict and calculate his (...) position. But I wonder where I have a reason to break bones for you. It's as if it has no benefits."

"... you said you gathered people to confront the 'Wizard Hunter' man. If so, I wouldn't wish I existed trying to defeat the Wizard Hunter.

I wonder if that's what it's good for you. Even though he complained, Ames smiled at me with a small nose and continued to smile bitterly.

"If you can truly defeat the" Wizard Hunter "man, that would certainly be a benefit. But you're going to challenge me with those scars, aren't you? In that case, you won't find a chance to win. It is I who is deprived of my abilities. Worst case scenario, I've been able to pinpoint his whereabouts, and there's a chance he'll kill me."

Rather than advantages, it's full of disadvantages. That's why I can't accept the proposal.

The words of Ames that were spoken were always true.

... most of the wounds I suffered last night are not completely healed, even though Sofia has healed them. It only relieved the symptoms.

I'll shut my mouth as easily as I can see it.

"Well, as far as I can tell, you were beaten up last night by a 'wizard hunter'. That's all they're doing. I don't know what it's like to want to do it again. So ----"

It was an amusement to talk in an embarrassing manner, but if I didn't talk, there was no reason for me to bother him. Originally, I came here because I couldn't.

If you can't, you just have to think about it again.

Moreover, it is not decided that there is no human being with abilities like Ames.

Yes, I came to the conclusion within myself and tried to leave him.

"Ahh, wait, wait! I certainly don't want to tell you, but I didn't say I wouldn't tell you everything! So don't jump to that conclusion."

"... what does that say?"

"I don't want to buy a grudge from such a wizard hunter (out of standard). So, as an alternative, I'll tell you who knows where the Wizard Hunter is.

Of course, it's not me.

That makes sense. He smiles.

"But you already know, but I can't just tell you. But don't worry. I'm not asking you to join the crusade I invited you to. All you have to do is answer my question. That's all. You're out of line, aren't you?

"... okay."

I accept.

If only I knew where the Wizard Hunter was, it would have been good for me to know what else to do. That's why I decided to accept the offer of disqualification.

"If we can change this country, what do you think it is?

... it was a big story on a big scale when I thought about what kind of questions would come. If you're a guy like me, that's the kind of question I've never bothered before.

The context of the story was, of course, cancer ignored.

"If we could change this rotten aristocratic society, what would it be?"

"... not very educated."

"I don't care about that. If you give me the answers as you think, I'll do it."

That's what they say, retort.

Soon afterwards, somehow, someone's face came up in my head.

It was a man of the Star Slasher.

And that's probably my answer.

That overwhelming force that fascinated me (...) is the answer for me.

"--I think it's pure power."

"... eh? Funny. Go on."

"An overwhelming power that can silence everything. Not just in today's society, we need strength to change something. I think so."

Of course, I'm after power, but I'm not interested in that.

However, was my answer satisfactory to Ames?

Arc the mouth and float the meshing teeth.

"Oh, yes. There is no way to change this rotten aristocratic society but to use pure power, as you say. Specifically, it must be magic."

Wizards are too powerful.

That's what I know best.

"So, if the wizards decide, perhaps... no, the world will definitely change. The time has come for blood and power to turn into garbage. If there's any trigger (,,,,,,,,), always."

... I wonder what Ames wants to say to me after all.

"However, there are still deep-rooted stereotypes that you must not defy. However, if our blade reaches the nobles who are sitting on the throne of the power society and enjoying it, the world will change when the wizards around the world find out. Don't you agree?

... so much so.

By saying so, I'm sure Ames has a grudge against the nobles.

And, as far as I know, he wants to change the status quo.

But somehow I learned to catch it.

I felt uncomfortable with Ames' words.

Is it because of that?

It was me who had unconsciously carved wrinkles between my eyebrows, but that was also the moment.

"Hey, you don't have any friends? I wanted to hear your opinion because it was a bit confusing and it was still in my head. [M] Oh, of course not."

I change my mind as to whether it was just a mistake in his poisonous remarks that kept coming.

"No, but it's power. At your age, I thought you might say that we had a discussion, but you look harmless to humans and animals and have radical thoughts. No, I like it. I really like the words of people who see reality properly."

Ames was satisfied with my answer?

Yeah, well, after nodding to my satisfaction,

So, where was the man of the Wizard Hunt?

"... ahh"

Let's get back to it.

"Then ask the man who flew the" Wizard Hunt ". If it were Ryusus, I'd know for sure. He looks like a faggot, but he looks good and he's smart. I'm sure he's ready to lure me somewhere by now."

————

Blank thinking.

How do you know that Ryusus used the magic of metastasis to fly the Wizard Hunt?

That's what I wanted to ask you.

However, it's annoying in my head and I don't get good speech right away.

"If you participate in the crusade, your doubts will soon be resolved."

I mean, thanks to the wizard's abilities near him.

"Incidentally, the crusade is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, but I don't know if I'll do it again. Have you changed your mind?

"... I'm not willing to join the crusade."

I was trying to fight a man who was a "wizard hunter", but it wasn't when I was using my energy to do that. That's why I refuse to go on patrol.

"Really? That's a shame."

Why do you ask me so many times?

It's over without knowing.

Whatever I say, because a large number of wizards are already participating, it won't change even with or without me and Lilia, so why is he so keen?

There was a glimmer of concern, but I turned my back on Ames and decided to stay away from him.

"I'm really sorry, Julius."

It seems that the words that I heard when I left were somehow filled with feelings of compassion.

I felt that way.
