Sword of the Philosopher

The day after I stayed overnight in Inn Town, I went to the dining room in Inn for breakfast. The inn here is quite delicious, and I was just looking forward to it.

"Morning."

My eyes dotted when I saw Caln raise his hand with a light-hearted greeting.

"... what's up?

"Morning."

She reminds me to say hi. I thought I couldn't get on with it. I replied with an inner sigh.

"Morning...... what's going on?

"No, I just wanted to talk to you for a second"

"You want to talk, and that's why you came all the way from the fort?

"As of yesterday, I was in town."

Could they have followed us? So what exactly is her purpose...?

"Well, sit down"

She hurries. I sit at the same table as her while I sigh.

"Now Mr. Luon and the others are on a journey to defeat the Demons, aren't they?

Let's get down to business. When I said, "Yes," Callan asked me to come in here.

"Please, let me accompany you for a little while"

... Yes?

I was a little stunned.

In some cases the game begged me to be one of them, but not at all about Caln... I did a subevent validation yesterday and came to the conclusion that things would go according to the game scenario, but the next day something unexpected would have happened.

"Wait a minute. Why are you accompanying me, what are you saying?

"Mr. Luon and Mr. Sophia are going to Norm's address now, aren't they?

"Huh? Oh, well, yeah."

"And I want you to accompany me."

"... you want to make a pact with the Spirit?

"Yeah. It's fine to go alone"

"... Can Mr. Caln use magic?

I shouldn't have remembered a single one in the game...... here Caln nodded unexpectedly.

"A little while ago, a wizard came to Mr. Theol. That's when I learned some magic because I was good there."

... Considering that Caln in the game didn't remember any magic, this is obviously a different part than when the game was played.

"What magic, by the way?

"Uh," Stoneblast "and" Flame Needle "... and four more" Birdsoa "and" Protection ""

... 'Stoneblast' is a subordinate attack magic of the earthly system. And 'Protection' increases defense with unattributed lower magic. What surprised me in my mastery is that I am mastering 'Birdsoa' and 'Protection'?

"Did the wizard teach you those four things?

"Yeah. Have some explanations, then touch something like a crystal sphere..."

- There are items that are limited to subordinate magic, but that can be mastered with specific items. The game treated it as a rare item and it was something you wouldn't get if you didn't visit the academia. So I don't have one either.

Use such items against her at all costs… this is inexplicable in itself.

"By the way, who's that wizard?

"A man named Richard. Looks, like, late twenties."

... That's a name I don't know. At least I've never been out in a game. Well enough to use magic mastery items on fellow characters, so I don't think there's any real harm in this one... keep in mind that there are people like that.

Then Sophia appeared before long. Sophia looked at me when she was surprised to see Caln and explained that she wanted to accompany Norm.

"... Mr. Caln, can I talk to Sophia?

"Go ahead."

Take a seat, me and Sophia start a conversation. First of all, I was wondering...

"Sophia, do you mean this, the hunch you were saying yesterday?

"No, it's not... I wasn't expecting this kind of development..."

She has a troubled face. Though, he was concerned about Caln, so he suggested to me.

"I mean even to Norm's address, and can I allow you to accompany him? Even I am concerned about her behavior..."

"I don't mind either... it's a temporary accompaniment, so you don't have to explain Sophia's identity or anything, do you?

"I think it's good. I don't think there's anything to expose you unless you talk about it here and... do you want to talk about Raifin?

"Exactly. When you're under contract to the Queen of Silves, do you think there's something there? You can leave them alone unless they pursue you for now."

"Okay. Shall we go?"

We've made up our mind, so we're going to Callan's.

"What do you say?"

"... we don't mind. By the way..."

"Don't worry, I'll pay for my own travel"

Says Caln. I answered, "Okay," and I asked him more questions.

"It's fine to go as far as Norm's address...... why at this time?

"I was going to make a pact with the Spirit, but I didn't think it would be hard to travel either. Mr. Leon and the others inspired it."

"The trigger, huh?

"Yeah, and..."

Caln looks at me as he says.

"I feel like acting with Mr. Leon and the others will give me a hint that I can be strong."

... saying something similar to why Sophia tried to master me. Gilbert, for example, who was involved in the ruins, said something about being drawn to me... and Callan observed us quite a bit in yesterday's battle. I wanted to accompany you with that as a trigger - would that be the case?

I guess it's possible my status is influencing my decision. I thought it would be necessary to consider the area when engaging in future events.

Remind Callan once more of his willingness to give his consent while drawing conclusions in his head.

"... for now, accompaniment is fine. Greetings."

"Yeah, nice to meet you"

- So it was temporary, but Caln joined his people.

After breakfast, when we leave the inn, we move on to Norm's residence. At a distance, there is no obstacle about three days from here. You will be able to arrive as planned.

According to the information of the protagonists brought by the demon of use, we have not yet reached a situation that would challenge the five great demons. Begin training Sofia while I don't think it will be a problem for the moment.

Soon after it starts, Callan speaks up to us.

"I can use it too, by the way"

"You said it in the morning... but what we're doing is using it differently than normal"

"I was told it was convenient, and Richard taught me how to apply it,"

I wonder who that person is... I suggest one thing to her while I'm interested.

"Can I see it?

"Fine."

If you agree, she'll start chanting.

"Watch... Fly!

At the same time she activates magic. Then when her body floats flutterly, she blasts off the street at a tremendous rate.

"Whoa...!?"

That control was inside, and this one surprised me the other way around.

Plus Sophia's surprised. Staring at the sight. Eventually, she comes back and shows her face what it's like against us.

"You're good, aren't you? I practiced quite a bit, and Richard taught me how to do it well."

"Oh, really?"

If that's the case...... I'll move my gaze to Sofia,

"Sophia. I can't teach you well if it's me, so why don't you just teach me something from Mr. Caln?

"What, to Mr. Caln?

"I'm fine."

I accept, Caln. Often Sophia was silent... but a little while later, considering the controls Caln had shown her, she turned her body to her and raised her voice.

"Nice to meet you"

"All right! Let's start with..."

Her commentary speaks. So I, for some reason, had a little anxiety... but decided to keep an eye on them for a while.
