Sword of the Philosopher

I just didn't think you would understand the world of games or anything, so I changed the story and explained that the story of this world existed. Then the Queen of Silf gave an interesting look,

"Hmm, you were reincarnated from another world, and in the original world, this world thing existed as a story"

"Oh...... I just don't know how many stories end up ahead"

"Does the Demon King need someone with sage blood... this is very interesting"

"Do you trust me?

"The wind tells me you're not lying"

That was the answer. Apparently, you can trust me.

"I see... but if this world thing is a story in your original world, is there any causal connection between your world and this world?

No, I wouldn't know if they asked me about such a concept. I'd rather know.

I look in trouble. As a result, Silf coughs up one with Cohon.

"That was an unanswered question...... I see what's going on. So you're secretly trying to support the battle against the Demon King."

"Well, yeah."

"That squire, too, to his companions as a result of those activities?

"Right."

Does Raefin realize about Sophia... the moment she wonders, words come from her.

"Confirmation... she, Princess Sophilia, right?

"... you know what?

"Yes, I could feel the signs peculiar to the royal family, so I knew immediately that it was not an aerial resemblance of others… I myself had been flying around to check the situation on the continent, so I had seen myself in it"

"She's not supposed to have a public face."

"In the castle, hey"

You snuck in... polite tone and attitude, but they seem to exist quite a bit of a prank.

"Uh well, you're right... she died in the story, so I helped her with the king"

"Do you train her because she's a sage's blood muscle?

"No, it's a go... if you're going to go through the story, it's best to leave the Demon King crusade to the protagonists of the story, right?

"I see, even in the blood of a wise man, he wonders if he can really take on the Demon King"

"... the blood muscle of the wise, if the element leads to the qualification to fight the demon king, Sophia must undoubtedly have that qualification. But I tried and failed. So it's worse than not being able to go back."

"Understandable."

Raifin nodded, staring at me.

"Earlier, I said you could counter the high-ranking Demon clan... somehow from the mouth of the story, do you have the ability to fight the Demon King as well?

"... I'll leave it to your imagination"

Even so, would this kind of response feel affirmative the other way around...... but Raefin replied "ok" and didn't mention it in depth.

"I understand the situation...... Master Luon has a history and will be working out Master Sophia, but now you're trying to move the world along the lines of the story, right?

The way I put it, it sounds like I'm manipulating the world like God...

"Move it, maybe it's so big... I'm exploring the main characters' trends first, and now I'm looking at how things are going."

"See how it goes...... I see. And I also know how dangerous it is for you to act on the surface… I think you're being a little too cautious."

That's well, I won't deny it. But failure is unacceptable.

"Hmmm...... but then I have to think a lot about how to move too"

Suddenly Raifin squeaks.

"Think?"

"Yes, this battle does not simply involve discussing the Demon King, but requires order... and if you listen, it's a long and complicated path. I thought I should move a lot myself."

If the Queen... were to make a pact with someone of the protagonists, the power would be great.

"Okay, I've made up my mind"

And Raefin says.

"Let's follow you."

...... hmm?

I can't understand what they mean for a moment and I'm silent. Just a little bit of what it means in my head.

"... were you listening to what I'm saying?

"Of course, I wasn't the protagonist of the story you told me, until I thought I could save the continent if I followed you"

- Here, I kind of understand what you're trying to say. I don't know which protagonist is going to take on the Demon King. Currently, it's risky on someone. But with us, you thought you could at least control the story and create a demon king.

"... well, even if you say no, you're following me, right?

"More than I've heard."

"Then it doesn't matter what I say."

"And it helps, doesn't it?

Raefin says. In the role...... it is true that the presence of the Spirit sees things differently, and it is possible that he feels something different from me and helps.

"It just doesn't seem to be possible to sign with Master Luon, so you will be signing with Master Sofia"

"... if you're acting alone, isn't Sophia already under contract with another Silf?

"That's okay. Until I come back and talk to her, I'm giving instructions in the wind not to sign a contract."

"That was before you realized me, wasn't it? If so, have you been eyeing me since the beginning?

"Yes, Master Sophia has the blood of a wise man... myself, Master Sophia decides that he has high potential. I wondered if I could be a Demon King. I wondered if I could make a deal. And after what Mr. Luon said, I decided."

The Queen herself says so much... but here's the question.

"Do you have a good address? Without the Queen."

"I'm trying not to have any problems... and because of all the things that Luon has done, I think I can work with dragons and so on."

Did my actions also become a factor in accompanying Sophia... but

"In the story, there was no fact that a demon like that just now raided Silf's residence in an earlier event, nor was there another portrayal where there was a problem with the residence... but it is not strange that there is a further threat to the Spirit than the Demons will invade further from now on. If the queen is gone in there, isn't that just the problem?

"I have an affair...... thanks to Master Luon. I'm not going to imitate anything that annoys you."

Does it have anything to do with helping the dragon...... it has somehow an indescribable power to smile emanating from Raifin - I just had to snort.

"Ok...... if you say so much. If anything happens, you can talk to me."

"Yes...... by the way, what's the situation with Master Sophia?

"I'm not talking. So far, I was wondering if it would be better to maintain the status quo."

"Sure, you should now."

... Is that it?

"You got something?

"It's somewhat...... but it doesn't mean there's a problem between Master Luon and Master Sophia. But there's something that bothers me, and I was wondering if we shouldn't talk about it at the moment. Either way, I think we can talk about it."

... I wanted to ask you why, but I'm not going to tell you because of how she is. This is how I explained the situation, so I thought... but she smiles silently.

You don't seem willing to talk... somehow, she seems to be better at making it up.

"... it would be helpful if you could talk about any of the reasons. Just tell Sophia about Mr. Raefin's identity."

"Absolutely."

Nodding Raifin... By demonic destruction, we will create an unusual edge and thus keep the Queen of Silf company... how will this lead to future stories?

Personally, I think it's big to be on the side of the Spirit knowing what's going on. I think I can get advice from the standpoint of the Spirit on all the issues that have come up so far... no matter how much I know the status and scenario, there are different parts in the game and in reality. To fill that, her powers would be quite great.

"Then I'll ask you again in the future... then let's go back"

"Yes."

She agrees, and we start moving.

Along the way, I encountered an earlier dragon and once again gave instructions to work with the Sylphs, and the dragon is happy to agree.

"Thank you"

Reifin once again expresses his gratitude. I nodded back and went back with her to Silf's residence.
