Sword of the Philosopher

Knight and squire

Sophia was already waiting when she left the room and went to the entrance.

"I've been waiting for you"

"... are we leaving already?

"Yes, we have to hurry, don't we?

There are knights around. It looks like I need to see Sophia's behavior and put it on even one of the escorts, but no one talks about it.

In it, Sophia mentions Fuole, who is nearby.

"Fuole. About your father, I asked you"

"Yes... and Master Sophia. If you look at its strength, you may not want to look after it."

Sophia smiles...... Sophia is stronger than anyone else on this occasion. The knights understand that.

"Well, let's go"

And she tells me. Nodding back, I left the mansion with Sophia.

"... okay?

I ask right after I go out. Then,

"The battle is not over yet."

That gaze is pointed straight at you, and it looks like you're already thinking about your next battle. I said nothing more and instructed her.

"Then let's move on. I'll take care of Alto if he makes any moves. Let's go to Eina."

"Yes."

Sophia acknowledges. In this way, we started moving further.

During the journey, the situation begins to change slightly. That said, we are steadily making progress in the battle against the five great demons.

Fili and Eina are digesting the event well. Silvi and Kuuza have already completed their rendezvous with Radi, explaining the situation and heading to Fili. At this rate, you'll be joining Fili at the right time to fight the Five Demons.

This one only has to stop the magic from happening, so there's no need to consider the damage in the vicinity. You can deduce the abilities of the Five Demons with the demons that emerge at the event, but Sylvie and the others, as well as the Phillies, are on a sufficient level. I would be able to defeat it without any problems.

If there is a problem… the magic blocking itself is not good unless it is stopped, so I should move as far as I can to deal with it. You should keep in close contact with Silvi and the others so they can keep abreast of the situation.

And Eina and the others... this is going to be in the form of a rendezvous at such a stage that we head to the castle of the Five Demons.

"Dear Luon, I have one question for you"

On the road, Sophia asks. Waiting for words, she asked questions with a complex look on her face.

"I think this time I'm going to show up and all sorts of things will happen"

"I guess. But as for the Demons, King Canaan has greatly restricted his movements, and troops are gathering around the King... I think he'll be fine."

"Around there, we don't think it's a problem to talk to your father at the mansion. Personally, it's the Knights that Eina belongs to."

"You think there's something wrong?

"Yes, well... if I show up, Eina will naturally offer to act with me herself"

"Like before, it's hard for the four of us to travel together."

"Yes, I was wondering if Eina would join us... but if she did, it wouldn't be preferable as the Knights to which Eina belongs"

"... I don't think there's anything to accuse me of, but there might be people who aren't convinced."

It is almost certain which way Sofia will be involved with the Knights, including its strength, to be festived. And since I have said this to King Canaan, it is also visible to explore collaboration... if

"Then why don't we just reopen it"

"... Yes?

When Sophia hears back, I start explaining.

"I mean, I'll reopen it more than show up and make sure I act with the Knights"

"Yeah, but then..."

"After defeating the Five Demons, there is also the Southern invasion, and yet the battle against the Demon King is withheld. If we do, we won't be able to afford to go around, and it might be harder for us to organize parties and activities for a few of us. Then I think it would be more constructive to act with the Knights and put in place future measures."

"What about Silvi or Mr. Kuuza? And the people who started with Mr. Fili?

"When you rendezvous with the two of them, there's no doubt that Fili and the others are accompanying you. Then you can tell Silvi and the others to join the Knights as they meet to fight with them. King Canaan will probably interfere, too, and can I keep him face to face for once? Well, let's take a look at the situation where the battle is over."

"Okay."

Admittedly, Sophia - I'd rather stand around flashy to gather troops than show up and operate. That's more morale on the human side, and the demons are on guard.

"I can create swords alone, so don't worry. Instead, Sophia can help us bring the troops together."

And I realize that's all I'm saying.

"Well, given the future, Sophia's position as a squire is also in the direction of stopping at that time -"

"No, I am Lady Luon's squire"

Sophia, who blocks my words.

"In the future, if my position as a princess is necessary, I will do my part… being a follower of Lord Luon will not change"

"... originally, I think it's weird that Sophia, the princess, is a squire."

"No, I am Lady Luon's squire"

I'm stubborn...... I kind of understand not listening when I say it, so I nodded.

"It may be troublesome to explain it to others... ok. But if there was any confusion around..."

"We will take care not to cause any inconvenience."

Sophia says forcefully. If you've made that clear, you can't say anything more.

"... then let's hurry. After rendezvous with the Knights of Eina and the others, think according to the circumstances"

"Yes."

She replied - we rushed under the Knights.

During the journey, we finally get to a situation where Eina and Fili fight the Five Demons.

Just one good news. I use the demon and monitor the demon side to some extent, but as a demon, it seems that the simultaneous attack was unexpected, and I felt that the demon movement was somewhat confusing. The demonic Sheldat, who is in the kingdom of the Barks, also has no sign of being lost or moving. It seems like a good situation to work with the Five Demons to launch an attack... but Canaan's movement is still suppressing it.

Nevertheless, it could be expected that this situation would not last much longer. Before the other demons could move, we would end the battle with the Five Demons… Yes, we made up our minds and arrived near our destination. There's...

"Confused, you are"

"The experiments of the Five Demons seem to be more extensive than expected."

We accidentally destroyed demons that spread to the village we stopped by. Sophia's abilities make it easier to beat - the abilities of the Five Demons will depend on the strength of the demons. From here on in, the strength of the Gdyce of the Five Demons may not be as high as it stands either.

The scope of the experiment is quite wide, and from what I observed with the user demon, he seems to be distressed by the response. Eina seems to be starting to move too, and it may be difficult to rendezvous immediately.

And one unexpected thing in this situation. It's not a negative topic though.

"Alto and the others are approaching... we didn't even have to talk about it"

"Really? First, do you want to join them?

To Sophia's inquiry, I thought for a moment,

"... right. I'm fighting in a different village. Let's try to point the way there. Of course, we will defeat all enemies on the road."

"Yes."

"It's a tough fight physically, but... are you okay?

"I'll take care of it"

Sophia glances at confidence. I said "please" to her... I started to move to rendezvous with the alts.
