Sword of the Philosopher

Inquisitive in my head about what to ask... right, first of all -

"Next question... I've been in the tower where you were. There were demons left..."

"I was trying to generate it and see how far I could operate it remotely. To some extent...... it became uncontrollable at a distance that spanned the country. Well, I gave him an order to protect the tower in advance, so there shouldn't have been anything outside."

You know what... I grumble "I see" and ask even more.

"... are you new to asking my name?

"Hmm? What do you mean?

"I went backwards in time four times...... have you ever heard of the name L'On in the meantime?

Richard pondered...... eventually shook his head left and right.

"No, you don't. I've never seen you act like this before."

... hmm I guess from his timeline it means I've been reincarnated into the fifth world. I don't know how it works around here...... well I just can't help thinking about this.

"... here, may I ask you a question?

Now Richard talks. When I nod instantly, it raises questions.

"I must have visited the basement about twice, but the battle when I first visited... I was also watching through the demon of use. Seems like you have a lot of strength... and I thought you knew there was a demon tomorrow.

- Here, think about how far you'll tell him the situation. I didn't give it all in the battle in the basement, but as for him knowing one end of the force, I'd be curious. And it looks like some doubts have arisen.

To convince me of that...... I was just beginning to think and I could hear Garc.

'At this stage, you won't have to do anything to tell me everything. In the first place, I don't know if you can believe me by telling me that I've been reincarnated from another world. "

Well sure...... right, let's just say I'm dying for one second and starting over with my life? There are stories about the magic of the reincarnation system for once, so as far as he is concerned, he should be very receptive. If you say you know everything that's going to happen, etc., don't talk about it at the moment because it can interfere and talk about it.

I asked you a question earlier about the light that came from the Five Demons, but you don't know that the power of a wise man is necessary to defeat the Demon King by thinking from the reaction. I thought about what to do about the neighborhood... but the scenario route has already been finalized, and even if I told him, it would just stir up anxiety for mischief... Hmm, if I needed this neighborhood too, would I decide to talk about it?

"... I don't know what caused this, but I'm a man with the experience of going back in time, like Mr. Richard. I'm just starting over with the baby once in my case."

"The one called reincarnation... Hmm, that kind of magic does exist too. You mean they used that kind of magic last time in their lives?"

"Oh. I don't remember anything around it."

Explain to him as he talked… As a result, I don't know if he was completely convinced, but he responded "OK".

"So, what's the action now?

"In what I've been through, I helped someone who was dead... that's my squire Sophia. So, she had a lot of qualities, so it feels like she's working out."

That's what I said, and I bumped into further questions.

"Speaking of which, do you remember the name Caln?

"Oh, sure."

"Did you teach her magic for a reason?

He is slightly silent. And

"... because she decided to fight the Demons in the future"

I said the same thing Sophia said before.

"Is that well-founded?

Asking the other way around, Richard nodded quickly.

"... though you may not believe me"

"Tell me."

"First of all... I'm probably the descendant of a wise man. I can only speculate, but I have one ability about sage."

Amazing statement. Frowning, he spoke out.

"There is a story in the literature that a wise man has the power to predict the future. It doesn't seem that all descendants will be able to do that though."

"You mean you have those powers?

"Many times I went back in time, and while I reduced my magic powers, those powers became exerted... I taught her magic because she was a person who had participated in the battle against the Demons in her previous experience, and further found that her abilities would enable her to participate in the battle in the future, even in the world of the fifth week"

I see, now I understand the circumstances... but if Sophia came to the same conclusion, does that mean she also has the power of prophecy? However, even in that case, Sofia is undoubtedly at the level of "somehow," and I guess that power won't really be harnessed.

And - the most important piece of information I've heard from him seems to be the Southern invasion of the Demons. Clearing there is the great gateway to debating the Demon King.

It is somewhat special about the events of the Southern invasion, and only this part turns into a simulated one. These battles exist several times, but the southern invasion is the largest and most challenging.

As a system of games, enemy and allied armies are placed on the plains present in the south, alternating movements and fighting like chess and chess. If you run into an enemy, the protagonists fight on the spot. Otherwise, results are achieved by ability, etc.

In the game, the scenario progression and so on determined the faces to fight together. That's all I got more allies if I did a lot of sub events...... extreme stories in the game, there is no losing unless invaded by the town that is the main force, so I can win if only the worst protagonists can win. Well, if you fight in a row, your abilities go down dramatically, so if you don't figure out a way to do it, you lose.

But I'm pretty sure it's from Richard's story that it doesn't even work that way in real life. It doesn't work alternately like a game, and the number of demons coming at you should be considerable. That is why we need careful measures.

Speaking of the most southern invasion, I might be able to handle it if I stood around all by myself at worst. After that event, he just refrains from making a showdown with the Demon King, so it doesn't seem like it would be a good idea to give it all.

It's just... even though it's been somewhat in line with the scenario so far, there are definitely a number of unscheduled things happening. So even during the southern invasion… we cannot deny the possibility of demons attacking us simultaneously from various places, not just the plains in the south, for example.

No matter how strong I am, if I get attacked at the same time, it's just as hard to deal with. Assuming that's a possibility, you should definitely keep your strength as good as possible.

"... I know what happened to Mr. Richard. So, what are you going to do in the future?

When I asked, he responded to me with firm will.

"Secure your forces against the southern invasion."

"You mean use demons to counter it?

"That's right. I also took part in the second circle so I know how many. I don't know how far I can go..."

"Aren't we going to call on the knights on the human side?

"I don't have a voice. You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

Uh, is that true, too? I've been thinking about Southern invasion events since the beginning, but others don't either.

Hmm, when it comes to the power of war that comes to mind at the moment, are those spirits, starting with Raifin? There is a good chance that people will gather in the south if Sofia has any other say.

In the future, there are also events that we would like to intervene in that are effective in securing troops. It may be a good idea to clean up those events while working out Sophia.

What are you going to do?

Richard asks. I gave him back,

"... I'm going to do all I can do, too"

"Ok...... please"

"By the way, when is the southern invasion?

"... after the annihilation of four of the five great demons. This was all the same."

Seems like a scenario about that.

"Okay... oh, I'm gonna change things a little bit"

"What's up?

"There are currently two Mr. Richards in this world... but if the battle is over, what are we going to do around it?

"... you won't be able to imitate going back around, so maybe you'll be living quietly and secluded. Either way, we don't have to think about it right now."

If the Richards in the fifth world are happy - maybe that's how it feels.

"Okay... don't die, Mr. Richard"

"Oh, you too"

- Eventually, we agreed to cooperate and we decided to break up, but on the verge of leaving, we heard him calling us to stop.
