Sword of the Philosopher

Evening has passed, night. He was called to Canaan, who completed the sweep of the demons, and to a tent in the main formation.

There were Canaan and Boslo. And Sophia, Silvi and the five Kuuza - that is, the faces that have known the circumstances for a long time.

"First, thank you"

Canaan opens his mouth.

"This time, I appreciate your help in the fight... and that's a feat I can't say enough in words. It is no exaggeration to say that you have saved this continent. I think it pays off in a visible way."

In fact, if I hadn't moved with the Divine Spirit, the continent would have collapsed - in that sense, it's true, but I laughed bitterly.

"... no, it's okay"

"Don't you want a reward?

"From the beginning, there's enough money to rot"

Sylvie blew it out when she said those words.

"Somehow, you're impotent everywhere, Luon is"

"I know what you're trying to say... so, King Canaan, if you can hear me, I have a request for you at once."

"I know what you want to claim. You're not gonna get involved in politics, are you?

- Canaan says with eyes that see through something. I just nodded that I was.

Honestly, I could say I was too active. The fact that it went wild on the battlefield of the coalition will remain, as will the blockade of information, and the story of the destruction of Western troops will surely spread.

Whatever you think, there's got to be a force out there trying to capture my existence. I acted with the idea of less sacrifice, so I couldn't help it.

"Until the showdown with the Demon King, there won't be any special problems"

Canaan says. That 's--

"In addition to the fact that the Demon King is alive and well, the blood muscles of the wise move to get into that preparation from now on..." he explained. The kings of the kingdoms who have friendship with me have acknowledged it and have explained it to the directors of other countries. We can make sure there's no confusion. "

"Okay. Then, after that..."

"I wanted to ask you one thing about that. Lord Luon, what will you do after the battle is over?

To ask, I'll shut up for once. Honestly, I don't want to stir up anxiety.

"... because I have something to do"

"Is that to threaten this continent?

"There is no zero chance of that happening. But I don't think we're talking about a year or two."

"Somehow, that's an ambiguous expression"

That's what Canaan said, but how he doesn't intend to mention it any more.

"Okay. Let's just say that the logic is to look around various countries with no demon king influence left. Plus, you have connections with the spirits... and if you explain that, at least not as many people will leave to serve Lord Luon."

"Is it going to be okay?

"The fact that we follow the spirits is a terrible fact for any country on this continent."

- Somehow, it feels like it's for your own good that you're too irregular to be involved in the opposite? I feel so complicated... but is that the best?

"Okay. Then in such a way. Can I talk to you every time something goes wrong?

"Whatever. So, the next thing I know, how much do you explain to your people about Lord Luon?

"Yes."

"How far do we go?

"... to be honest, I don't think there's any obstacle to being open about me at the time I expose my powers to the Demon King. Weirdly enough, I'd have trouble making rumors."

"You mean someone in trust would be nice"

"Yes... I wonder if I could explain the facets of the sage's blood muscles"

"In that case, you should explain the situation to their people, too. I can't talk about anything other than blood muscles, and I wonder if there will be people out there who are not convinced?

I snort. Then Canaan further stated.

"Let's just say we talk about military officials here to an unmistakable extent. The adventurers should want to hear directly from Lord Luon. It's up to you to make your decision."

"Okay. Oh, and do you want to leave here by the end of the day?

"No, it's night. I'll be here till tomorrow morning because I'm also concerned about the existence of demons."

"Really? Then I'll be waiting, too. If you need anything, report it."

"Mm-hmm. Thanks"

I nodded at Canaan's words and the discussion was over.

I fell asleep immediately after talking to Canaan about tiredness that day. My companions also fell asleep soon after they had accumulated fatigue and welcomed them the next morning.

At Canaan's direction, the Adventurers were to return to the fortress where Sofia was. On the road, Alto or something asked about the situation. He did, but I explained, "Patience me to the fort". Also, some of these faces were Richard.

"The king thanked me. There was a mention of the reward, but it was all after the battle."

Here, he shrugs his shoulders.

"... may be slight from Mr. Luon's work"

"Compared from L'Onne, everyone's a trivial one."

Sylvie is making such a scratch... and we're on our way to the stronghold. Meet Oldia there, too. When I introduced him, he seemed equally surprised, but from what I explained to him as a sage's blood muscle, he seemed to recognize him as a companion.

And set up a place for discussion. Rent the largest meeting room in the fort and start explaining. If you include the point that you know it as a story, you had to explain it from the fact that I hold memories of a previous life... but it didn't take that long.

"- Overview will be more than that"

After we talked about it that way, the reactions varied. Alto standing on the wall with his back looks intriguing. The same holds true for Richard, who is equally near the wall, and he leans his neck slightly to see if there was anything about Phili or Caln getting to his seat.

As for Eina, she had a surprising face at first, but she immediately put on that look because she had Sofia to know what was going on.

"Somehow, there were times when I thought there might be a better way to do it, but in the end it was impossible for anyone and everyone to survive, and that's why I was acting to conquer the Demon King... uh, any questions?

"Then from me"

That's what I said and it was Caln who raised his hand.

"Even when you met me, you were within the boundaries of the story?

"... there were events that would have involved Caln, and we actually had that flow. It's just that it wasn't the same place you'd run into it."

"Oh well."

"Though its strength is still astonishing"

The next person I spoke to was Richard. I haven't told you much about him yet.

"Mr. Luon, can you explain me, too?

"... I'll leave it to Richard's discretion, but you talk?

"I was wondering if I could let you know the situation for once."

Speak that way and talk about Richard himself. The reincarnated person and the person who rewinded the time...... it also seems like an odd combination, but it seems somewhere natural to meet and talk like this.

"- And I'm also a sage's blood muscle. Ma, the magic is diminishing, so I'll only be able to cover you during the final showdown. So, Mr. Luon. Keep talking."

"Ok...... so we're done talking about the whole thing, shall we talk about what's going to happen? Initially, the plan was to go to the Spirit Corona in search of materials for a weapon that would challenge the Demon King. But sometimes the Demon King wasn't fortified, and another option came up."

Sophia and the others' faces tighten on my words.

"By recognizing my existence, the Demon King must have been quite alert, too. I didn't activate the magic of the continent's collapse, so the Demon King hasn't fortified it, but I'm pretty sure we'll do something about it."

"So you have the option of moving to settle once and for all before the measure."

Eina speaks. I just nodded that I was.

"How to settle all at once and how to create a powerful weapon even if it takes a little time… it's hard to figure out which one is right -"

"I have an opinion on that from here"

Garc's voice. He appeared in front of me and started talking abruptly.
