Sword of the Philosopher

After we get the information from the male shopkeeper, Sophia finally says thank you and leaves the store.

"The house was destroyed," you said.

"Right..."

As I answer, I'll explore the area further with the demon of use. I'll explore the area around town, but I don't see any anomalies for now.

Or if it doesn't go according to the event, where are the demonized mercenaries at the heart... walking while manipulating the demon of use,

"Dear Luon,"

Sophia called me by the lid.

"Next time you go to that store… it may be difficult to have any more powerful information"

The store she shows is a tool shop for events in games. He nodded and went into the store, and Sofia talked to the store owner, just like earlier.

Listening to that...... yeah, I can still just hear the information that a burglar broke into a house, and I can't get any more information.

When this happens, naturally my game knowledge is of no use... I don't know what to do.

From there, Sophia and I walked further down town... but not so big, so in an hour or so, we rendezvous near the inn with Silvi and the others.

After exchanging information, Sylvie and the others only got a similar story, but something different happened.

"There's a hunter's cabin in the middle of a mountain with woods to the west, where they've witnessed a number of burglar-like characters."

Oh, that's how the information comes out...... if the warrior requested by the guild is leaving the request unattended, the demonized mercenary will be near the hunter's cabin.

Now that it's just become a reality, naturally I think we're going somewhere after the day has passed...... little was revealed except that the mercenary details were villains, but does having sightings near the hunter's cabin mean that there was some involvement with Sylvie's vengeful opponent?

"So that means you're going there?

When Silvi responds to Sofia, he proposes further policies for the future.

"They say the hunter's cabin isn't that far from town, so shall we take it for an early lunch before we go? Sophia, is that okay?

"Yes, I'm fine"

We will also decide how to move in the future and all we have to do is go to the hunter's cabin... we will explore it from a distance with the demon of use, but there is no mercenary figure. Let's explore the area of town for a moment.

And even when it comes to lunch, time is still early. Therefore, it was decided to move freely for a little time.

Me and Sophia walk around town side by side. Both sides were silent for a little while, but eventually Sophia started talking.

"... a little, okay?

"Go ahead."

"I thought there was something in Master Luon's story that I hadn't heard... about the recapture of the kingdom of Barks"

"... to be honest, the area was different depending on who the main character was."

"Really...... if you were to fight, is it still Eina?

"Don't be."

In reply, Sophia looked up at the sky once.

"I have not yet told Eina that I am with Master Luon. Perhaps you're still desperately trying to save me."

"... you want to go talk to him right away, huh?

Well that would be natural...... but Sophia shook her head left and right.

"It is clear that my presence depends on my battle with the Demon King. Now, you should stop."

"... right"

I couldn't say any more. In fact, I agreed that I couldn't talk until the time came.

"... By the way, Master Luon. It's a different story."

"Oh, what?

"I heard and grasped the circumstances of Mr. Leon's skill... and I'd like to work with him in some way for once."

"I don't mind that, but you just can't be serious, can you?

"I don't mind that...... now"

Along with the way it was included, Sophia smiled - that gaze also had a sense of mission to have to fight the Demon King, but also seemed to have an ambition to be stronger than that.

For her, I can tell you that being strong is what it takes to discuss the Demon King - more than that, the way she thinks.

"Sounds like you're happy to be strong."

"... did it look that way?

"Oh."

"Is it careless?

"I think you should be willing... do you feel like for Sophia you want the power to be able to defeat the Demon King?

"The goal is..."

She puts down a beat and tells me.

"With Master Luon, enough to line up his shoulders"

I was somewhat surprised at her for being so clear.

"... goals, too expensive?

Sophia laughs bitterly after I say it. In contrast, I shake my head from left to right.

"It's more like you can target me... I could do it too. Even Sophia can do it."

If you're willing, I'd love to... When I was thinking about it, a report came from the user demon.

"... hmm?

Raise your voice. A place further down the woods from the hunter's cabin...... there, they have a bunch of demons.

I can't see in detail what's going on in the woods from the user demons in the sky, so I send instructions to get close. The herd of demons seems to fit into the type of demons in the neighborhood...... no, there are exceptions. What the hell does it mean to be a herd?

"- This is"

"What's wrong?

Sophia asks after my remarks.

"Oh, no, it's nothing"

I bluffed aggressively... but something unexpected is happening.

You should probably just tell Sylvie and the others about this. So determined, I kept walking around town.

After an early lunch, we try to make our way to the hunter's cabin. But there was one thing I had to report before that.

"Silvi, okay? As a result of exploring the surroundings with a demon."

"Are you talking about a burglar?

"I don't know the details. Maybe it has something to do with it, maybe it doesn't."

"That's a lot of abstraction."

"I can't judge you, either. We haven't even been able to identify the robbers in the first place."

"Ok...... you have a hard expression. Is that too much of a deal?

"If you do poorly, there could be damage to the town"

Sophia and Kuuza look surprised by these words.

"Are you saying that the bandits have been pulling and setting up their men?

"Close to it"

"Close?"

"There's a bunch of demons nearby... ahead of the hunter's cabin where we're going"

In these words, Sylvie looks in the direction of the forest.

"... a herd. How many?"

"It's a good number just to be able to confirm. Maybe more, just to the point of checking with the demon."

"What kind of demons?

"It's just a basically weak demon, but you're mixed up with a lot of things. I'm sure Sophia and the others can handle it well, but I think you should be careful."

"Okay. But I'm not going to back down... but if the demons are nearby, we should get rid of them."

"So far, it's creepy that you don't see it moving at all... anyway, be careful"

After you mention it, we'll get started. Now, apparently, it's certain that it won't go as the game's event goes, but what form will it take from here?

The demon is letting me look around the hunter's cabin... and that's when I finally succeeded in capturing the demonized mercenary. Apparently he's been hiding in the back of the woods.

Based on the fact that the walls destroyed by the event have been repaired, time must have passed considerably. When it does, it may be getting quite strong.

The demons in the vicinity were mercenaries able to obey or were there other causes... I went into the woods thinking a lot.

Then I walk a lot...... it happened when I thought I'd reach the hunter's cabin.

Suddenly, the wind blows through the woods. It didn't have any attack capability - but we realize there is.

"... intimidation from the bandits ahead."

Kuuza analyzes. Sophia, furthermore, refers to something else.

"The signs were totally demonic... are you saying that you were affected by temper"

Say no, the three of them ran away. I followed it - in front of the hunter's cabin, I discovered a mercenary.
