Sword of the Philosopher

"Never... I won't forgive them"

When I saw the collapsed village, Fili shrugged at me. His people are currently walking around the village and are not around.

The demons that flew in flew from then on like a game, and their appearance disappeared far away. And the next morning, the stunned villagers and soldiers and knights from the country who rushed to hear from them were about to clean things up.

Things were changing in the village, and previous sights had no shadow to see. There are a few buildings left undamaged. But they are also difficult to say what rainstorms are, a situation where everyone has no choice but to leave the village behind.

Fortunately, it was salvation to have an injured person but no victims... the story says that some lives were saved by my first aid. Fortunately this point is unfortunate...... but Fili has an earlier line even asking about the consequences. At a time when they were all alive, Fili was a little afraid she might not be determined to grate her chest and fight the Demons, but it seemed okay.

Almost no mercenaries have appeared already. There are only a few left, including Philip and me... just in case I stayed in this village to see how Philip was doing.

"Unforgivable,"

I tell him as I lay my head on and look further into the village.

"A bunch of demons... the enemy would definitely be the Demon King's Army"

"It's where I want it"

"... I know I hate you. But if we're going to fight them, we have to make sure we don't lose our cool."

Yes, I can give you some advice, but it still looks like anger precedes even shortly after the incident. I take things out of my nostalgia while I watch them like that.

"Fili, if you're traveling from here, there's one thing different."

"... Huh?

At this point in the game, L'Ong is dead so no such event exists. So while I'm a little nervous, I give him what I took out.

"... keys?

"There is a forest a little south of this village. There's a little hunter's cabin in there… there's some money and some tools I've been hoarding. I'll do it to you."

"Uh, okay?

Fili with a decent look. I say, "Oh," then I say.

"The truth is, I was accumulating it for a different purpose... if it's to be used in the battle against the Demon King, it's my hope."

"Yes, okay? Such an important thing."

"Fine. Because I don't have the courage to fight the Demon King... I'm counting on Fili."

At this point the heart is bakubaku. I'm saying a pretty cool line, or something stupid, while desperately curbing the upset... wait for the word.

Phili alternates between me and the keys. And

"... thank you"

"Fine. Well, good luck with that."

I leave under Fili with my hands up. Don't tell me when you're walking out.

So, where I can no longer see him, I hide in the shadows. After looking around in the shadow of the extended house, summon magic to summon one of the containers based in. So, I took the pre-prepared hemp bag and sent the container back. Walk out.

Hit the bag, I'll walk in the village. It was in this village that I was going to...

"Village Chief"

"... um, traveler"

An old village chief raised his voice to me in front of a house that was no longer inhabitable as soon as it burned out.

My spine is stretched, but my face is tired of gray hair... my heart feels like I'm going to be extremely hard here, and given the tragedy of the village, I thought it was natural.

"Sure, you were standing around in a demonic raid"

"Did you remember that?

"Regardless...... thank you so much. Thanks to you, there were no victims."

Nevertheless, it can't be a better ending than the collapse of the village... here I tell the village chief.

"Actually, I wanted to thank you too and I visited here"

"Thank you... I don't remember Noon doing anything."

"Because I've taken care of you here as an adventurer with all sorts of things. So..."

I offered the bag. The village chief was bewildered for a moment, but he saw and received me offering it strongly. And look at the contents.

"... this is"

"It's a rare metal, containing magic. Oh, and there's some gold in there, too."

- The name Orihalcon exists, but there was a question as to whether it would work by telling the village chief, so I expressed it that way.

There are actually legendary metals in this game like Mithrills and Sage Stones... that only existed by name before rebirth. Well, the name is the same, but the meaning may be completely different, so when asked if it is the same in nature as in the previous life, it remains questionable.

Anyway, Orihalcon is a rare material in it, and it possesses the price and ability to match it. When synthesized into Armor, Magic Defense is greatly increased. Physical defense is also considerable, and among the materials to be synthesized, it has top-notch capabilities.

However, I got enough to rot when I raised the scatter level and held it until I didn't need it as soon as possible... so I decided to make the most of it here.

The Orihalcon alone in this hemp bag should be enough money to rebuild the village until before it collapses.

"This is..."

"Please use… I think it will cost enough to rebuild this village if you redeem it"

When I told him so, the village chief turned his eyes round.

The reaction can be taken for granted. Because what I offered as a thank you was a level that allowed me to rebuild the village.

"... you are"

"Of course, to offer it this way… there are other reasons"

Block the village chief from speaking up, and I go on.

"Actually, this thank you coin belongs to me, but the rare metal belongs to someone else."

"Is that...?

"How much you took care of me in this village, only"

There's no one like that, actually. But, well, I did because I thought it would be quicker to make up these fictional people.

"At first, I was surprised to see what he had offered me. I wanted to ask you what happened… I didn't ask questions after all because it wasn't like you were going to talk to me."

"Where is he now?

"We're touring various places in battle with the Demon King... we don't know where he is"

"Really?"

The village chief, looking at the contents of the bag, often silenced,

"... ok. Honestly, I still feel incredible, but it is true that even I wish to rebuild this village. Thank you, I will use it."

"Yes."

- If it was my ability, I could have intercepted the demons without question, but I let the demons raid me to make me travel out of Fili without doing so... even though I had no choice in the scenario, I had less of a burden.

I don't know if this will erase all my burdens... but anyway, I followed them as financially as I could. The rest depends on the people in this village.

"Now, if you'll excuse me,"

"Um... when you rebuild, stop by."

"Absolutely."

I left the place with a laugh.

All right, that's pretty much it... let's just say we're going to the next event.

In this game, depressing events are discouraged at the beginning of the scenario. Will clearing that make it a little easier... No, you should watch the protagonists' movements and decide what to do. Until then, when I will fight the Demon King, I will not lose my mind.

Anyway, what matters is whether it goes according to the scenario… and which protagonist defeats the Five Demons… So when I walked out to use the magic of movement,

"- Hey, okay?

I heard Kati from behind, and my heart was about to stop.
