Sword of the Philosopher

I was walking with Boslo and I noticed - that the general is walking, but not many people show interest. I take a glance, but I've never been able to turn a suspicious eye or anything. Sometimes I try everyday travelers, because this is the kind of sight I'm used to seeing?

Eventually, with his guidance, we reach the tavern before it opens and enter. The store is quiet and the footsteps we make sound a lot louder.

"- Before we talk, I want to confirm one thing"

Say no, no, he suddenly pulled out his sword.

"Your strength… I want to check your technology"

"... I don't have swordsmanship like a general, no matter what I look at."

"Um, in terms of swordsmanship, it's the upper category among warriors... but there will be many people with more skill than you. I should be among them."

Pack your time in one step. The store is large for eating and drinking, but small for standing around. So it's also an instant before he gets stuffed, and the flowing sword trident is fast approaching.

But I prevented it with a sword I pulled out instantly. At the same time, soon after I realize that Boslo has increased his magic, I will also emit magic accordingly.

Garc's ribbon wrapped around his arm emits heat - while my blow blew Boslo's body backwards.

"- Hey!"

But Boslo braked with his feet, without losing his position. I wield my sword. I stay in position and look back on Boslo.

Eventually,

"... brilliant. Your sword far surpasses any technology, and its magic is at its root."

I'll take the sword, Boslo. I also put my sword in my sheath again and ask Boslo.

"When we first met, did you notice?

"At first sight, I understood that you possessed the power to confront my sword head-on. But the next time... I saw the movement when I recieved the sword, I thought... Apparently, you have a clear view of my sword. The next thought was that magic enhancement possesses a power different from that of a normal person."

"... you're right."

"How did you get that power?

"Stack of effort, right"

I'm not lying.

"There are many more reasons I could have gotten this far..."

"Hmm, it doesn't seem like anyone can do it. Well, you're hiding those strengths because it's dangerous when the Demons understand you, right?

"Yes, I'm taking action now, but I don't know what will happen if they examine the amount of magic"

"I mean, so much so that I don't know what's going to happen... that I have enough power to be alerted by the Demons"

Boslo says to confirm. I nodded honestly,

"But to show you that in this battle..."

"I know. Think about the risks if you expose yourself... including your people."

- At first, I didn't know what you meant. But the next moment, I ask to be sure.

"Um, could..."

"Shortly after I understood I was alive, I was heartily surprised and relieved again"

It's about Sophia. He's wearing a disguise. He's noticed. It's just a general who's been busting our asses. Rather, it may be understood and taken for granted.

"Neither am I looking to expose myself under the daylight. It's understandable that we still have to hide what we're doing..."

"Are you King Canaan?

"That's right. His Majesty was worried about the princess. Previously, my cousin, Knight Eina, asked about the visit to this country and discussed how to cooperate in the recapture of the Kingdom of Barks. It's all about saving the princess."

So the general hits me in the eye,

"But this is how I know the fact that I'm alive… I'd like to explain the situation confidentially, if I may."

Sophia would also agree with me on speaking to Canaan more than the general would suggest thus. But...

"... confirmation, is that before the battle? Later?

"I don't think we should talk about it now that it's pre-war"

"I agree. If we were to talk about the situation, after any battle."

After the battle, there will be no problem because Canaan is also after awakening...... with that in mind, there are further words from Boslo.

"So, I hear you need to talk."

"Yes."

Nodding...... here's the place. Open your mouth, thinking you could make a few demands.

"There are two things I want to ask you. First of all, it's how we treat you."

"There are aspects of the war that we have to look at and judge, so I can't make a clear statement here. But I never make it worse. There's also the princess."

"Okay...... then the second one. Honestly, I know it's hard to drink these demands."

"Talk to me."

"It's about how we treat people in war. Is it possible to disperse the four?

To inquire, Boslo tilts his neck. Suggestions for no reason, naturally, will not be accepted. So...

"- There's not much we can talk about me at the moment. There's only one thing I can predict for myself about this fight."

"Well, what's that?

"I don't know what demons and monsters will attack, but the figuration of the battle will be a battle to protect the castle gates on all sides. And the knights intercept it, including the general."

"That will likely happen. The demon invasion is terribly quiet. It's hard to capture this one, too, and hard to strike out. It's supposed to be like protecting the capital."

"In it, the Demons may come after commanders who lead the army, including generals, or they may have demons ready to defeat commanders"

To these words, Boslo narrows his eyes slightly.

"Is that... the story that there are demons who have the role of defeating me?

"Yes, the Kingdom of Alastin is a small country territorially, but some people have a name on the continent, including generals. This time, no doubt, those knights will serve as commanders guarding the gates, won't they?

Attire and Sherk are also more or less talked about among the knights… that's what Eina was told on the game if she was the protagonist.

"The Devil's side, too, should understand about that. Therefore, measures may be taken."

"... I mean, you want to say this"

Boslo tells me with an enlightened look.

"By virtue of their strength, you will protect your commanders."

"Yes. The strength of my people is how you recognize them. So if you let me play those roles...... if it's true, it might be rude to say this to a knight, but the other guy is a demon. It's no wonder what happens, and I was wondering if I needed to be prepared."

"I see."

Boslo keeps his eyes peeled at me while he zeroes his words.

"I just have one question. That much worry...... is there anything thoughtful about this town?

- Exactly. You wouldn't believe me if I said, "I know how this fight ends in the game," etc. It looks like Boslo can't read that far either. Naturally.

"You may have a chance to talk about the situation sooner or later… it will be a long story to explain."

"Right. The situation is also the situation. Let's not pry."

It's as if you understand everything. I didn't answer anything, but Boslo made further remarks.

"Fine. However, there is only one condition."

"Conditions?"

"There is naturally no other way to look at and consider the situation of the Demons as to which places to place each. I want to be in charge of how it works."

This is an extremely natural story. Nevertheless, I consider Boslo's death in battle.

"... about General Boslo's location will undoubtedly be what is expected to be a fierce battle. Naturally, the Demons should prepare for it."

"Sounds like you're worried about me"

"If we lose the general, the army will lose a lot of morale."

I nodded all the time saying that Boslo understood this reference,

"Right... can we talk about that area after we find out where the Demons are placed?

Consultation - It's a weird story for the General to tell me that himself... in addition to my powers, does that mean that I have a certain amount of credibility because I'm acting with Sofia?

"... ok"

Agreed, I'm leaving the store. I kind of went in a strange direction when I talked to him. Nevertheless, depending on how you do it, you are more likely to be able to help everyone at once. We have to work hard.

And about Sophia and the others...... just met with the general and there will be one mention - the arrowhead I was thinking about, the look of Raefin right in front of me.

"Dear Luon,"

"Is that it? Aren't you with Sophia?

"I was the only one out there before I met the general."

Speaking of which, Raefin looked me in the eye and said:

"I think Master Luon has a lot on his mind too...... just a little bit, why don't we talk?
