Sword of the Philosopher

"At present, my people are calm, and for one thing, it seems to me that the confusion has converged."

A mercenary tells Abel. Hmm, is he a member of the organization?

"Right. But that demon was pretty strong."

"Is it the emperor's money?

"I don't know, but I think it has something to do"

Abel's words...... engaged demons, some damage done, something like that.

"We're currently investigating, but apparently the military is moving. We'll report back when we know more."

"Okay."

Mercenaries walk away. Looks like he's got information about the military.

Now, how do I move... I'm thinking, a voice from Garc.

"Lord Luon, are we intercepting you in town?

"... depends on the rebel movement, but we'll probably be fighting outside"

- Even on the game, the place where the base will be raided, the form existed. In that case, they were on the move to leave the town where they were based and intercept them.

However, when playing the game, there were measures even more because they had enough fighting power. In this case...... is it just tough to fight directly from the front?

"Unless we work together, we probably can't fight it."

That's what I said. I left the tavern once.

"Where are you going?

"I'll just walk around... this town was also in the game, and I know a lot about it"

I checked with the user demon, but I haven't been able to confirm the existence of Yusuka or anything like that... shall we start there?

As we strolled around town, we joined Sophia and the others. Sophia says something when she tells him that she has found the leader of the rebel group.

"Should I explain the circumstances…?"

"No, you wouldn't trust me if I talked to you at this stage, and you'd pay up front in the first place,"

"You're just gonna get suspicious for interrupting in that situation."

Richard's words. Absolutely right. Sophia gives a difficult look.

"I mean, he said we'd have to cover him after the fight started."

"Right...... it's stressful around here, but there's nothing I can do about it. So as for the future... given the marching pace, I think it will come in around ten days..."

"I'd like to procure a weapon, but that sounds difficult"

Sophia says. I nodded small,

"Do you make a little money working around here? The size of the town is pretty good, so I think you can get the stuff there."

Assuming it's the same assortment as the game, I think it's pretty good... No, did it change the scenario phase for the town here? Well, you don't know until you actually see this.

"Uh, Sophia. Where's the inn?"

"I've arranged it."

"Oh well. Then let's take the day off."

The two of you nodded at my words... and headed to the inn.

About ten days until the battle - we made that prediction and we moved. Nevertheless, there is not much that can be done.

So, there's no sign of Yusuka after all. If I'm not here, I'll have to think about it... but do I have to stand around well with Abel at worst?

"Though, you just want to find out if you can -"

I thought about it so much, and then I thought about why I was looking for him. As things stand, the survival of Abel, who is qualified to be emperor, could be confirmed, so we can also think of it as just a story to act with him.

As for power… it is possible to intercept the Marquis of the Four Dragons with me and Sofia as long as we have the weapons. Then, as for Yusuka...

"... does the meaning of proceeding as the story suggests, thin?

In a flimsy way, we can also assume that it doesn't matter if he's not there...

"Dear Luon,"

Sophia's voice from behind. Looking back, she said something.

"I know the story, but I think it's a lot to worry about."

"... did you find out"

"There's no alternative to our battle."

Laughing Sophia. I nod back and open my mouth.

"It's obvious that we've been lost before... simply because our powers won't solve the problem. I hope it's easier to understand, like the Southern invasion in the battle against the Demon King."

"... I'd personally prefer not to do anything like that."

Sophia smiles bitterly. Then ask me one question.

"Dear Luon, for example, you won't be in a situation like fighting the Marquis of Four Dragons at once... right?

"I can't say anything because we're out of the boundaries of the story, but it doesn't even mean the dukes are hostile to each other, but it's not a good idea to get along and say it. It shouldn't be like acting together. The Imperial side knows the area."

"I hope so."

... Well, you should assume the worst. Even fighting the Demon King showed my abilities, and I let him build countermeasures. It's no surprise that that happened.

In this case, we need to show our faces from the first battle. You definitely stand out at this point, so you need to think about it as much as you can... but there are limits to predicting it too. I don't know what to do.

"... well, don't you see I have to try anyway"

Eventually, I came to that conclusion. I have to be pretty unscrupulous when it comes to flipping out of this situation. It's hard to predict in it, but I'll do what I can.

The top priority is to protect people who are qualified to be emperors, starting with Abel. The next step is to reduce the number of victims as much as possible.

"Speaking of which, Master Luon. This town is within the territory of the Marquis of the Four Dragons."

Sophia talks to the lid. I am the immediate leader.

"Oh. His name is Exxon-Shreed. We have a mansion in a town close to the emperor's command."

"If the Marquis of Four Dragons moves, is it him?"

"That's what's gonna happen."

"Where is he currently?

"I'm observing the Mansion with my demons alone, but I'm not here."

Put your head on. If it were to strike, it would naturally be Exon, but I tried to fly the demon to the Mansion, but haven't been able to confirm his appearance. Then I guess I'm in the capital or castle, but I haven't been able to find it. Instead, if you are in the castle, it is your luck.

"There are currently no verses where Exon is acting. So, while we keep watching the invasion, we need to figure out what to do in the future."

That's what I said. It was an arrowhead.

Suddenly, one of the demons sends a report. That's what swirls over town.

I originally placed the demon there because I wondered if I could confirm the flow of people from above the town. Perhaps viewing it from above will allow us to explore trends about the rebel figures... that's the intent and I put it away.

As a result, I played kung fu. The demon - from the distant sky - saw the dragon.

"... that one"

"Master Luon? What..."

Before Sophia finishes, I run out.

"Dear Luon!?"

"Enemy! I need you to join Richard!

Tell him unilaterally, I'll run out.

Lord Luon, what's wrong?

"An enemy. There's a dragon in the air."

'Is that not like a wild dragon on our continent?

"Oh. There are no unique species on this continent other than the Dragon Man in the first place. If there was a dragon-shaped being... that's what dragon men have changed."

Tell him so and go outside town. I can't confirm it with the naked eye yet - but here's a new report from the user demon. The flow of people changed dramatically in the town. Apparently, the rebel group noticed as well.

"Rumor has it that"

With sarcastic words, I squeal. And Garc reacts.

'The way you put it, they're...'

"Oh, yeah"

Nod, I speak up.

"Exon... he pushed me here directly"
