Sword of the Philosopher

"- Significantly, I didn't feel suspicious."

It is noon and lunch is served in the cafeteria located in the Academia. Gark's remarks made in the middle of it.

By the way, there aren't many people in the cafeteria either because of the few lectures they're giving. I thought we, the adventurers, might stand out, but because we're with the headers, the few remaining students never interfered with us just once sending their gaze.

And Gark's remarks earlier. I don't see Garc on the table because he has a header... but Raifin showed up and spoke as if he were in tune with it.

"I don't know if there's anything about the appearance, but I couldn't feel anything from the waist or the atmosphere."

"... Hmm, I wonder"

The header squeaks. I saw that. I asked her a question.

"It was named Marion, you know?

"Yeah. You're the one who's captain in a different squad than Allete. I don't think he has a bad reputation."

"If so, is it my mistake"

As Sophia said, the header shrugged his shoulder.

"I think we can also talk about how the spirits were simply not impressed, more than saying that they didn't feel either. From here on out, it's a question of whether or not Sophia and the others are convinced."

"Okay."

That concludes the conversation... Sophia and the others will do the validation in the afternoon. I mention Silvi and the others as I look at their training landscape as I think it's going to take some time.

"I'm letting the user demon observe when Mr. Allete arrives. And so did a man named Marion who said Sophia cared."

"If you act funny, you'll find out soon enough. By the way, what does Leon think about Sophia's words?

"As a descendant of a wise man, I also think it's possible that some intuition has worked. Because we use demons, we can deal with whatever happens."

"Then you don't have to worry. By the way, Leon, it's harder to join a crusade."

"The battle was broken with the advent of a man named Marion."

Khuza's troubled expression. Nevertheless, it's a different matter of whether you were admitted even if you won as you did.

"Kuuza, whatever the outcome of the battle is, I think it's probably been rejected. That battle seemed more or less like Mr. Allete's personal will"

"... that it was also due to me?

"He seemed to understand Kuza's abilities while blurring, didn't he?

"Sounds like they liked you so much."

Sylvie says. Kuuza then tilted his neck.

"Me? Well, there was a lot of interaction..."

"Something bad happened, didn't you have it at the root over there?

"... it's possible."

Do you have any idea? Well, I won't say it around here anyway.

"Anyway."

I'll get back on my mind and tell the two of you.

"I met someone I knew from Kuuza, and someone I cared about. Let's act more than we've ever been involved in."

"Mr. Luon, do you have a hand?

"When the crusaders leave, you just have to go after them. What do you think of Silvi?

"You mean observe from afar... Okay, I'll join you. Luon, what about Sophia?

"You'd say Sophia would accompany you, too, and don't be going with me. I don't know what kind of battle it's going to be, so it's better to have a lot of people."

- You definitely need to be careful because you have no idea what kind of demon tribe you are and what kind of battle it will be.

That, and Allete's strength...... I'm pretty sure he has a lot of strength from his head-on battle with Kuuza. I don't think Kuza meant it either, but still being able to respond to it until then is definitive that he has the strength.

"... for one thing, you'll see how it goes until there's movement."

Silvi and the others nodded when they said so, and the discussion was over.

As long as the Crusaders don't move, we'll just be watching Sofia's training too... in the meantime I've been thinking about finding out how to fight the Demon King too, but thank God he's not willing to give us a break.

Early the next morning I received a report from the user demon shortly after I opened my eyes... it was

- Are you serious?

I shrugged and jumped. I finished my assignment. I joined up with my buddies, and I told them the most.

"The Crusaders are on the move"

"What, today?

Surprised Sylvie asks back. And I just nodded.

"I'm already out of town... reschedule, don't you mind?

"I have no objection"

Sophia agrees. So we start acting quickly.

It's not hard to follow it because the user demons are definitely after the crusaders. In addition, he also observes a person named Marion who Sophia mentioned as suspicious. If you behave suspiciously, you can move immediately.

"Let's go all at once"

With my words, everyone moves out - everyone starts traveling fast when they leave town.

In the meantime, it was Silvi who uttered the words.

"Sophia, you said you had a bad feeling about someone like Marion, but that means you're talking about being involved with the Demons?

"... I think it's more my fault than Raifin and the others saying they didn't feel anything at all on the sign"

"I support Sophia."

When this one mentioned it, Sophia was surprised.

"Master Luon?

"In addition to Raifin, Garc said it wasn't suspicious, but that's just a magical story, right? It is also possible that as a human being, he is in contact with the Demon Nation. I kind of think it's in Sofia."

"Because you are the descendant of a wise man, are you?

"I think it has something to do with the neighborhood"

If you remember her with a prophetic intuition, I don't think it's weird to feel anything. Either way, if you have an anxiety element, it's easier to observe it.

"So, what do you think would happen if you were inside the door?

Sylvie asks. I often think,

"No matter how sharp you are, if you have an insider and the information is missing, it would be a very bad development."

"I agree... are there many cases where there are traitors?

"I don't know if it's a lot... but people like that are basically disposable by the Demons."

If the person who says Marion is a traitor, that's the end of the line waiting for him... while he thinks, now Kuuza opened his mouth.

"Mr. Leon, I don't know what kind of battle this is, but from us, it's a battle full of anxiety elements."

"Oh, I think so"

"... if we intervene, do you think we can do something about it?

"It depends on the ability of the Demons. But if we make a move, I think we can make a lot of progress."

Shortly after I mentioned it, I saw knights and wizards moving in rows in our sight. We hide in the shadows so we don't get into their sight, and we decide to observe how it goes.

"... the problem is you don't know where the Demons live. It's hard to get ahead."

"There's a chance it'll take a few days to find the Demons."

Sylvie's mention...... well sure. This could be a long fight.

"... let's just say it moves so we can't find it. Attention, everyone."

Everyone snorts at my words - then observes crusader trends. The speed of travel is there, but it still looks like we have a long way to go.

It seems like it would be nice to do something that even scouts out and peek into the demonic situation, but it doesn't either. Maybe he's scouting using demons just like me. Either way, at the moment, we don't have the means to poke at the demon dwellings.

I just have to go after them with guts...... that's what I thought - it was that night that the change came.
