Sword of the Philosopher

Towards battle.

"- There will be several means to discern the traitor. First, the weapons they possess"

Raefin looks at the object standing on the wall as he talks - the sword seized from the traitor.

"From my eyes, if you can see it up close, you should be able to make a decision"

"But it's only about people with weapons."

When I said it, she nodded small.

"Yeah, that's right. I don't think you're just letting all your insiders have these weapons, and it's dangerous to judge just that."

"Is there another way?

"I can handle it."

Put your hands on your chest, Raefin says... well, the ability to perceive human emotions?

"It's just hard to read my mind, but I was wondering if my ability to grasp my emotions would make it possible to handle it"

This is something like being the queen of silf... but then there's one problem.

Before asking that question, Balzard asks Raifin a question.

"Then go with the princess to headquarters once?

"No. It can be even more confusing if Master Sophia shows up at this stage, and I'm alone"

Raefin shook his neck left and right lightly.

In other words, is Raifin going to respond with a different action?

"Do you cancel the contract once?

Now I'll ask. Then she shakes her neck left and right again.

"At the time of termination of the contract, you will no longer be able to contract with the same Spirit,"

"If so, with a contract...... can you do that?

"It's possible. The magic will remain diminished, but there is no problem reading emotions"

- The Spirit's covenant means that it connects with the magic of some of the covenants. This inevitably weakens the power of the Spirit itself, as the Spirit side forms a somewhat accommodating form of power to man.

It also feels less influential to be in Raefin's class... but here she turned her body to Sophia.

"Dear Sophia. Leaving makes it somewhat harder to use the wind's ability, I hope you'll appreciate that."

"No. Plus it's more important to look for the traitors among the knights. Raifin, please."

The story came together. Here Balzard says "if" and opens his mouth.

"For one thing, the knights in the village are waiting..."

"No, that wouldn't be good either"

Raefin stops his words. What does it mean?

"The sword the knights had, that was apparently giving the same signs as the demon they were activating this time"

"If so, is it the Lord of the castle who created the weapon?

"Exactly. I don't know if the possible traitors in HQ are the same...... The demons in the castle can assume that they have the information that the traitor knight has been captured. There is no denying the possibility of further aggravated attacks if we are close to the castle, beyond the fact that the measures have been broken."

"While waiting, you mean it's dangerous to keep getting attacked... then our Knights have two choices"

"Yes, head to the castle or leave once"

"Let's go."

Speaking here was Alto.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not up to the policy of the knights. If you leave, we'll let you go."

"Can't we wait?

"I don't know where the HQ is, but it's gonna take at least a few days, okay? I still think we need to take them down as soon as possible than the damage has been done. It may seem reckless, but I'm not willing to stop convincing you"

"I agree with that."

Sophia speaks. Eina was the one who reacted to that as quickly as possible.

"Princess..."

"Eina, I have continued my own journey and seen all sorts of things. Based on that experience, I'm not going to leave here."

Declare, Sophia sees Raefin.

"But I agree that Raifin is headed to find a traitor who could be in HQ"

"... ok. Knight Balzard, how do you like it?

"Confirmation, can I assume that you trust me to tell these stories too?

"Yes."

Balzard grinned at Raefin, who responded instantly.

"Okay. Then I will accompany you... Lirisha, you will command the knight."

"Leading the remaining knights and attacking the castle?

"Oh. But the demons will be around. I think it's hard just to take them down."

"- Knight Balzard. Here's one piece of advice."

Now I opened my mouth.

"Me and Sophia have been in the Devil's Castle twice. From that experience, living in the castle is rather thin. Even a handful of them can attack."

"You think you can say the same thing in the castle where this attack will take place?

"I'm releasing all that demon out there. Even the demons of the castle will have limits to the demons they can produce, and I think they're probably the same. If you feel bad, you can turn back."

"Uhm... but what if the demons that were scattered at the time we entered the castle came back?

"I don't think that's my biggest concern. Then all you have to do is stop the demons coming in from the outside."

"You mean we'll split into two hands"?

"Then we can go in, right?

Alto asks. And it was Eina who opened her mouth to it.

"You guys? Are you all right?

"I think it'll be enough power"

Now I'll tell you. Eina frowned, but watched Sophia snort, holding the spear.

"... you'll have to think about the candidates according to the circumstances that led you to your castle"

Balzard speaks. Then he turned his eyes to Lilitha,

"Respond to the situation and respond. I know it's hard."

"I'll do whatever I can"

Lirisha says. Is this a paragraph?

There are quite a few Knights. I'm just wondering how the Guddies would work if they came at the same time...... I can't say anything right now because there are some things around here that I wouldn't know if I didn't try.

He was attacking the main character's party alone without being otherwise intervened from anyone in the game. How is it different in that case than it is now...... you will need to be careful about that.

"Then we shall begin our action tomorrow morning"

Balzad last told, and the meeting is over. It was to be dissolved.

"Luon, say hello tomorrow"

Alto says when he leaves the house. Nodding back, now Caln declares to me.

"Now it's time to make it look good and active!

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it."

Alto and the others leave. Then Lirisha left the house to contact the knights.

Here Sophia turns her body to Balzad.

"Knight Balzard, I'd like you to talk to me about Raifin."

"Absolutely."

He shows his gratitude and leaves the private house intact. After Raifin made further eye contact with Sophia, he went outside to follow him.

The rest is me, Sophia and Eina...... it's my turn to go outside here, but I had one thing I wanted to check with Sophia.

Though, I think it's hard to cut it out in front of where Eina is... on the contrary, I started talking to her from Sofia.

"Dear Luon, I'd like to confirm a few things."

"... oh"

"So, Eina,"

"Yes."

"I want you to stay outside for a little while... please"

Eina alternates between me and Sophia on the instructions. Pay particular attention to me...... he said something. It looked like he did, but eventually he left the nodding house.

"... As for Eina, you're curious"

Sophia says.

"I don't think you have any doubts about Master Luon."

"I don't think that's a choice... by the way, how did you explain me?

"Being a benefactor of life, etc."

I care about all those parts... okay.

"Well, then, it's your last meeting to fight the Guddies."

Sophia nodded at my words - only the two of us started discussing them.
