Sword of the Philosopher

"This is what if..."

Raefin utters that word and looks to the light. Then Sophia raised her voice of doubt, either because she didn't try to explain it.

"Previously, you said you couldn't put in any more effort because you got the light?

- Is there a limit to the power of a wise man? No, in the game the protagonists had taken in the power of the Five Demons properly... you mean they can't because it's Sophia?

As questions arose, the next person to speak up was Lady.

"It's a refusal on the part of the magician."

"... Refuse, is it?

Sophia tilts her little neck. Lady replied, "Oh," and continued.

"Each person has something called compatibility, right? Just like that, there is compatibility by quality about magic. What just happened is that the light out of Mr. Sophia and the Demons was incompatible and didn't get in the body."

Compatibility - does it mean that sometimes you can't get into your body just because you possess the blood muscles of a sage? No, because maybe it's Sophia who's not the main character in the game... does it mean it's a coincidence that she got inside Ledras' body when she was?

While I was thinking, the sound of the door opening in the rear - when I saw it, it was Fili and the knights.

"The demon disappeared...... you knocked it down, looks like it"

Fili says. While we snort, he approaches and sees Raefin and the light.

"What situation?

So Lady explains. I change my gaze from them to Raifin and ask.

"Can't we somehow put that inside Sophia's body?

"... as Lady said, it's harder than rejection."

When that happens, do you give power to Lady or Fili...? If you can't empower Sophia, which way, the Demon King will use mighty magic, but whatever the outcome, you better entrust the power of the wise to someone.

But if there's room for verification, I think we should... and Raefin talks further.

"By the way, you should hurry. This."

"... what if"

Raifin nods at my words.

"Gradually, but with diminished magic. We retain the light with the force of the wind, but still the magic is leaking out. Time… could vanish in less than an hour"

Besides, when there was a time limit...... it seems impossible to verify.

"Shall I try again"

That's what Raefin said. Bring the light to Sofia - but the results are the same. Slip through and the light drifts fluffy.

"How powerful is this light?"

Says Phili, who finished hearing the explanation from Lady. So I look at the light...

"... Fili, you want to give it a try?

"Huh?"

"I don't know what power it is, but at least it should help Fili"

- Lady and Fili, I thought Fili would be better off, considering which one we should invest in. I feel like he's going to fight the Five Demons in the future. Hence the gaze to Raifin. She threw the light into Fili accordingly.

But I didn't know this was going to happen...... does it still mean that the protagonist was in some special position among the sage's blood muscles? Anyway, there's no doubt that the development of the story will be a scenario in which the five protagonists of the Demon King unleash mighty magic defeat separate Five Great Demons. We need to move to take action.

Light reaches near Fili. As the surrounding gaze gathers, light enters his body...

It slipped through as it was.

"...... ha!?"

I accidentally raised my voice. Hey, wait a minute! How can you slip through to Fili?

"Sounds like a lot of stubborn light."

Lady tells as she looks at the light intriguing. In contrast, Nestor speaks up naturally.

"You can't know who this light chooses more than you don't know what power it has in the first place -"

And while I was saying, the light approached Radi with a fuzz - into his body, I went in.

"... that?

Lady speaks out...... she's not slipping through. Without a doubt, I went into his body.

"It's kind of like magic has been restored... you mean I've been chosen?

"Looks like it."

Nestor speaks with his arms around him. It seems kind of hard to fall... I agree wholeheartedly too, but it is an indisputable fact that the power resided in him anyway.

"For one thing, the power itself was avoided, so it must have been good"

Raefin says. To tell you the truth, I would have liked to give it to Sofia - but Radi speaks here.

"The Demons defeated... shall we say triumph"

"We'll report first."

Says the knights. He told us to "come back slowly" and left early.

The Phillies then also left the scene to follow the knights as "concerned about the people they were fighting with". Me and Lady staying... but after a while, Lady started talking.

"Mr. Sophia, you used to say you put light in your body, didn't you?

"... Yes. I thought you might not believe me, and I didn't talk to you."

"The demon clan that set up the castle... is one of Robeil's kingdoms"

"Exactly"

While they were having a conversation, I came up with one thing… If I went out of the castle like this, I wonder if Triumph would invite me to the castle.

I want to avoid that more than I have Sophia. A knight on the front line would be fine, but many people will remember Sophia's face when they are just to be invited to the castle. Especially a battle in a coalition like this one...... it's not strange to have one of the feasts because you defeated the Demons.

When you get out to a place like that, it's imperative that you find out what Sofia's identity is... you have to think a lot about the future, and this is where you want to leave quickly.

- But if we go out there, we'll be heroes.

The moment Lady mentioned it, Sophia also raised her voice and looked at me.

"Speaking of which... I didn't have a knight or anything like that before, so it wasn't a problem."

"Now the knight's still on his way to report, and you're gonna be fine"

When we had that conversation, Lady told me about it.

"One thing, okay? What about Sophia?"

"About Sophia? What's the matter with you?

"No, I thought it might be a nobleman or a lady of the knight's lineage from that position... I cooperated and defeated the Demon Clan, and yet even dwelt in a similar light. I was just wondering if you could let me know what's going on."

- Probably been wondering.

"Hi, you seem reluctant to go into the castle, and when we figure out what's going on, we're gonna cooperate?

"... Sophia, what do we do?

"I think it's good. Those who live in the same light… Sometimes in the future we will fight together in some kind of opportunity."

"Maybe."

Lady laughs and turns her neck to Nestor.

"That's good too, isn't it? And I want you to fight with me in the future."

"Oh, I don't mind. Including fighting with you."

After responding, Nestor laughs nicely.

"Tell you what, I'm a man of my word, and I'm a man of my mouth, okay?

And, turn your gaze to Silvi.

"I know he's a woman, but he's got such a hard mouth that he hasn't told anyone."

"Buh!?"

Silvi blew it out. Something unexpected.

"Hey, wait a minute! You know about me?!?"

"Was his real name Silvi? Exactly, because you can't delude everyone, either, so you're telling some people what's going on, right? I just overheard him talking in the booze seat."

Sylvie drops her shoulders disappointingly. Then Nestor laughed,

"I told him to be careful, so he didn't leak anything else."

"... well, okay"

"So, will you talk to me?

Nestor says. I looked at Sophia again, and I saw her snort,

"... ok"

That's why I explained the situation.
