Sword of the Philosopher

"We know who the mastermind is and how the battle will proceed. Can't you take advantage of that and assume you'll have the Marquis on your side?

"You mean we negotiate using the information we hold?

"Oh. If the Marquises turn to their side, don't you think there 'll be fewer victims?

Well, it's certainly not as easy as it sounds...

"That sounds like the hardest idea."

"But even as Nehmeisa, the Marquis and the Rebels... if these two go hand in hand, don't you think it's a sincere trouble?

... There is no doubt that some kind of ploy is working, even from the fact that we are investigating the ruins. I don't know if there's room for negotiation in that.

"Um, I do wonder if that's a good idea. Anyway, what's important is when to end this story."

"When to discuss Nehmeisa, is it?"

"Oh. Even if we defeat him at this stage, the country will just be unscrupulous... and since the present emperor is alone in the hostility of the people, it will also be hard to maintain his imperial position"

- In the game, many people recognized that qualified persons as emperors maximize the power of dragon demon stones. I don't know because they didn't tell me in detail what politics to do after the battle, but at least the situation is better than that of the current emperor, so I may have successfully used that fact to govern.

"We can take down enemies in our hands this time... but I guess they're in trouble because they're the rulers"

"In the case of the Sherzian continent, we were able to bond because we were a common enemy called the Demon King, but this time the stakes are complicated and very troublesome."

Sophia speaks with a sigh. Absolutely right.

"Hmm...... I think I like Mr. Richard's proposal. When I think about the aftermath of the battle, I wonder if it's the least horny way for emperors and marquises to take hands of each other and govern."

"I don't know if it's going to work that way... no. Let's start with that policy."

- And here I was hooked on angel ruins and stuff.

"About those knights..."

"I don't know either. It's just that the Marquis of Four Dragons is independently investigating the status quo... but taking away the magic of the ruins is..."

"Did Lord Luon say that the story of this continent is related to the story of the Shergia continent?

Next, Gark spoke.

"Isn't that a combination around there?

"... I wonder. It was a trilogy, but this part itself wasn't particularly relevant. With the first simultaneous march, the continent is away and fighting separate opponents, so it may be natural not to connect. I mean..."

'What do you mean?

"The ruins of an angel...... I guess there was a vortex around here. He said it was going to be revealed in a new book."

I don't care if I look into this, but I guess after I've finished the whole thing...... if I realized it, it would be in the form of a neck sticking into a new battle, and the investigation I was originally doing would be shelved. What choice do I have?

"All right, then, after tomorrow, we'll start analyzing the situation using the user demon. It may take some time, but be patient."

"Okay."

"In the meantime, we're going to make a lot of moves."

Hear the two of you reply...... for one thing, the operation meeting is over.

From the next day on, I fly the demons in all directions to gather information. We basically know where the enemy is, so the question is Yuska, the protagonist - or the biggest problem is where the rebel groups face each other.

Considering that no one in the Marquis of the Four Dragons has lost at this point, it would be a departure from the story. Then I don't even know if Yuska is in the rebel group. If it weren't for him, we'd have to fix the tracks.

However, if that happens - one of the three main people Yuska will keep company with is his childhood tame woman, so if he's not around, we might have to give up on her. She was originally a swordsman traveling all over the place, and she had a hard time finding...

For one thing, I fly as many demons as I can and work to gather information. So about three days... Sophia and Richard were out in the meantime...

"Back, Master Luon."

Sophia's in the room. I ask her after I get back to her.

"What have you been doing?

"Sign up for the guild...... ask Richard for half, but"

"For now, I've earned some money for the Inn."

Richard says. That's a lot to be grateful for.

"I mean, if Mr. Sophia had the strength, it wouldn't have been a job. It felt like a glimpse."

"... were you okay? For example, mercenaries tease you."

"I didn't have any particular problems. I don't know if it's because of the emperor's direct jurisdiction, but it felt relatively favorable"

The guild will have colors for each of its lands, so maybe this feels like accepting anything.

"By the way, Mr. Luon, what about you?

"Oh, first of all about Yuska, I haven't been able to discover it in or around the town at the moment"

- Even with the use of demons, there are limits to the investigation. Basically, the only thing I can do with demons is observe them from afar, so I can't decide not to directly confirm Yusuka's existence either.

"That and one more thing... I found out about the insurgent group Ajit. about this coincides with where it existed in the story"

"What's your situation?

Sounds pretty tough.

I answered Sophia's question with a sigh.

"It's a situation that's going to be crushed by the imperial side if we leave it alone. I haven't been able to confirm Yusuka's appearance either... Well, what do we do?

"What matters is that you're the three people in possession of the credentials to be emperor. Is there not one of them?

I shrugged my shoulders when Sophia asked.

"One can't judge him for not being around because he's Yuska's childhood tame. The other is a former Knight leader who belongs to the rebel organization... I think there are more former Knights than the organization exists"

"What about the other one?

"Girl... someone Yusuka wouldn't meet if she hadn't had an event somewhere"

As for her, she may be desperate compared to childhood training, etc... when I thought of that, there was movement in the capital of the Empire.

"... the army has left."

"Crusaders, is it?

"Maybe... Hmm, you have enough power to crush the rebel groups"

If this is a unit hunting rebel groups...... wind front lights at last.

"If you put it on the rebel side now, don't be late enough"

"Then will you be on your way?

"... confirmation, is that okay?

Sophia and Richard were temporarily silent in the inquiry - the first one to open his mouth was Richard.

"I can see Mr. Luon was having a lot of trouble fighting the Demon King. Somehow, you don't seem to see the answer."

He said so and leaked his sigh.

"If you also know the mastermind, you can move a lot... but you are also hesitant to move poorly because you have some grasp of the internal affairs of the country."

"Besides, what doesn't follow the story has been proven in the battle against the Demon King, and there's no reason to get lost."

Sophia continued to speak out.

"I'll tell you what I think. The defeat of the status quo insurgency will only grow the mastermind called Nehmeisa. If we were to reach out to the continent of Sherzia at the end of its rule... we would have to stop it at this stage"

"- Well, I agree you can't just leave him alone."

I exhale and speak to both of you.

"Okay... we're going to start with insurgency support. And"

Put down a beat, I'll state.

"... our power to end the battle on this continent"
