Sword of the Philosopher

In the end, there was nothing to be done about Sophia's moves on this day, and the header was to be investigated because of the analysis first.

We're going to stay in town and have an ops meeting in Kuza's room with me. As usual I sit on the edge of the bed, sending my gaze to Sophia and Silvi sitting in a chair, asking.

"First of all, Eina and the others haven't changed much so far. At this rate, I think we can afford some time."

"But you just can't afford time for Sophia's moves to be completed,"

Sylvie says. I snorted.

"That's all I have to expect from Mr. Heada...... so, Kuuza"

I put my back on the wall of the room and put my arms together. I send my gaze to him.

"You cared, didn't you? The battle between the crusaders and the demons of this country."

"... oh. Confirmed, Mr. Leon. Didn't you ever talk about that in a story?

"There was nothing. If you think about it, it doesn't happen very often within the Kingdom of Natelia. I rushed to the Southern invasion as a reinforcement, but I had no idea it worked."

"There are two possibilities."

Silvi pinches his mouth.

"One did not divide the external power of the mortar within, only to protect the kingdom of Nateria itself"

"Oh. If you think about it in due course, that's it."

"The other thing is, something big went wrong. The southern invasion allowed reinforcements, but the major problem prevented them from working."

"I think you're overthinking it."

Sophia says. Yeah, I think so, too.

"For once, I'm flying the demon and observing the perimeter of town."

"Did you find out anything?

"I don't even know what kind of move the Crusaders are making right now because I don't have any information about the Demonic Crusades in the first place. If you don't know the trends of the person to observe, the demon of use is useless either"

"Oh well. So is that."

Kuuza puts his head in trouble.

"After all, do you care?

When I asked, Kuuza nodded small.

"I have a bad feeling, because it's one thing. The forces of the Kingdom of Nateria should be stained on the devil's side as well. The demon clan that is secretly working in it... I think it's pretty strong."

"I agree."

Sylvie agrees. Sophia nodded in tune with the words again.

"... it's just hard for me to advise you on how to move on this, too"

I'll explain that to the quasars.

"First, the purpose changes. I don't think it would be so difficult, for example, just to help Khuza get to know each other. But when it comes to saving all the court magicians in preparation for the southern invasion, it's tougher than knowing what the crusade is."

"You just don't have the idea of showing strength here, do you?

When Silvi told me to check, I replied, "Oh."

"When the crusade begins to zero the victims, naturally I need to do everything in my power to respond... but if I do that, the risk against the Demon King will jump... which way to choose, naturally you are the Demon King"

"So what do you say we get ahead and destroy the Demons?

"I think it works as a means. But to do that, we need to find a place to stay... it's about Mr. Heada who can get the information, but don't you know where he is just with the information that there's a crusade?

"Tomorrow, I'll check with someone I know who's inside the castle through No Dale"

Kuuza speaks out.

"If you offer to cooperate, you'll probably be able to give me an overview of the crusade"

"I guess that's the best. Participating in the crusade means getting information and then judging."

"What do I do?

Sophia's Question. So I looked back at her,

"For one thing, give priority to training. It could be a trump card that can defeat the Demon King. I want you to take some time."

"Okay. Be careful, Master Luon."

"Then I'll do it with Sophia."

Silvi glanced at me and said so.

"There's nothing we can do in this town that doesn't know the right or the left, even if we're collecting information. Besides, knights and court magicians don't seem compatible."

"Then I'll gather information with Kuuza."

Tomorrow's policy is decided - the discussion is over.

The next day, me and Kuuza are at the academy. Talk to Nordale. He doesn't know the details, either. So,

"No, Dale, even for me, I want to cooperate in some way with the crusade."

"Well... even as a kuuza, I knew this town was thoughtful"

"It would be obvious"

Nodail laughs at Kuza for answering.

"Okay, okay. But even if you want to join us, Kuza is an outsider. I don't know if you can listen to me."

"I don't mind. I want to talk to you for a second."

"Then... right, since Allete is scheduled to come to the Academy today, why don't we talk there? She'll know what's going on."

"Okay. So please."

The conversation is over, and we'll wait. In the meantime, I'll confirm one thing.

"Kuuza, who's Alete?

"As a student, he was the one who took the chair with practical skills such as simulated combat. Powerful combination of homemade weapons and magic, no one was hostile at that time"

Well, that's interesting. When I thought I'd ask you a few details, I saw Nodail.

"I arrived earlier than I thought. He wanted to see me when we talked briefly, but what do we do?

"Then let's go"

Kuuza says, walking out. I followed... I reached the courtyard in the academy.

There, one blonde woman in a white robe. Robe, I could imagine it was enough to fit my body, not something loose, but equipment paid for by a court magician.

And iron cane in his hand. When she noticed us and turned her gaze, she turned her black eyes and opened her mouth.

"Long time no see, Kuuza."

She might have looked like an angel if she had been a child or something with that hair that reached her waist and looked fantastic somewhere. However, the face I currently show is somewhere sinister, and the confusing attitude is also hidden.

"Oh, it's been a long time, Allete... by the way, how can your face be so rude?

"I'm here to complain. With your strength, you could have contributed a lot to the country."

"Originally, I didn't want to go into the castle and work."

Arrete with a frown root... the expression is mixed with a twitch.

"No, Dale told me what happened."

"Yeah, well, it's gonna be hard when outsiders join us all of a sudden, but I thought I'd get some information."

"What? Are you going to explore the demons' whereabouts and go crusading yourself?

"I don't want to go that far... but I was wondering if I could help."

"... I always thought Kuza was a problem because he suddenly tries to do something"

Oh, and a sigh of allette. Does that mean I was burning my hands when I was in academia?

Somehow, but Allete gets a serious impression, so maybe it didn't go very well with Kuza.

"And yet, the end of the exam depends on me..."

I'm starting to say some novels. The words emanating from her also seem to dwell on something resentful from day to day.

Nordale is also dealing with Arrete in a "so-so" way, and he laughs bitterly leading up to Kuuza. I can imagine there must have been this kind of interaction back in the day.

"... Kuuza's offer itself would be well appreciated. But I can't give you information in two replies, and I can't easily add you to the crusade just because you cooperate."

- And so Allete sharpened her eyes.

"First of all, let me take a look at your strength."
