Sword of the Philosopher

"... me or Sophia will accompany the Marquis"

Me and Abel leave the room once and talk in the hallway. The Marquis has been quiet since the discussion, and there's no sign of movement... but for once, we need to be careful.

In response to these words, Abel says after a few thoughts.

"I'm moving people from this town to another location, and I'm going to the mansion too. Let's meet up there with people from other organizations and talk about the future."

"Other than this place, there are personnel?

"Not many, though."

Bitter-faced Abel. I'm pretty sure I was pushed, and I can see the pain from the look on my face. But he hasn't given up.

"So... thanks to Mr. Luon, I was saved my predicament. I can't thank you enough."

"Our purpose is consistent with yours. This is a community of destiny."

Abel smiles in response. Seems to have succeeded in getting in first.

"Okay. Best regards,"

"Oh. So, before we head to the Marquis' mansion, I'd like to confirm one thing."

"What's up?

"Do you have a roster of organizations or something? It's possible there's a mix of people I know in Sofia."

- I thought a good way to check Yuska's existence would be to check the roster, so I mentioned that.

Then,

"It exists... you can't basically show it to someone else, but Mr. Luon can't help it. I'll make sure you bring it later."

All right, for now, we're going to be able to see if we're in the organization. After some conversation afterwards, the departure will be tomorrow and disbanded.

So, I can't just leave the Marquis alone, so I'll be in his room.

"You don't have to be so vigilant."

That's what the Marquis says...... well I convinced him that it would be more profitable to follow this way, so I don't think he's going to be an enemy now. It's just...

"But, well, you've joined your side a lot lightly."

It's the result of a lot of thinking.

time to think, would there have been...... a look that makes you include everywhere. Somehow, it's very troublesome to deal with.

"Do other marquises take sides?

Exon asks the lid. I often think,

"In the first place, is it so easy to be on your side?

"If you persuade me like I do, there will be plenty of potential"

Answers you can expect. Well, then...

"It won't be as easy as I am, though"

"Why?

Exon shows a smile that includes... it still seems to have some basis...

"There's something a little puzzling going on"

Suddenly the Marquis says...... puzzling?

"Because of the degree of discomfort, I can't talk to you right now either... but apparently this fight still has its back"

"Back? Not about Nehmeisa?

"Nehmeisa herself, it would mean she's plotting some sort of conspiracy"

... I recall a Dragonman knight exploring the ruins of an angel. The fact that they are moving by oath may mean that Nehmeisa is simply trying to do something other than gain the power of the Emperor's Dragon Demon Stone.

I know Nehmeisa is a mastermind as a knowledge of the game... but naturally, I don't know all of the trends. He's not making any noticeable moves at the moment, but he needs to continue to be observed by the demon.

"Anyway. More than flipping an anti-flag at the emperor, he gets caught up in the commotion. I don't think it's very likely that any other marquis of the Four Dragons will come forward, but I guess we should be wary of a lot of things."

Exon's eyes that speak so are obviously laughing...... I had expected it, but there seems to be a belligerent element in his original personality as well.

After a lot of silence from here...... the sound of a knock. When I replied, Sophia was out there.

"Dear Luon, Abel sent me the roster."

"Thanks"

Take it and start checking it out. I'm fortunate to be able to read because the letters are the same as on the continent of Sherzia...... it's quite thick, but I would be able to find a name without so much.

"Are there even people who care?

Exon asks. I snort my letters with my eyes as I snort. And...

"... this is"

Little whine.

After looking through the street, I didn't see Yusuka's name. However, I was able to discover the name of a woman who was Yuska's childhood tame and qualified to be emperor.

What does this mean... rather than being part of an organization, does it mean that no events have occurred about him in the first place?

"... Well, what do we do"

Here's what I think. But at the moment, the only choice I can make is...

"... hey Exon"

"What?"

"Assuming, we are talking about… can you guess who will be the next emperor if you defeat the emperor and become vacant?

"You can't be just a relative. If so, will it remain vacant for a while? Or maybe the Emperor will disappear."

- He also apparently has no idea about the Emperor's credentials. In other words, this will be the top secret on this continent.

Hmmm, there may be no problem without engaging with Yuska than there are some beings named Abel...... but there are aspects of those who qualify as emperors who are highly capable and therefore want to add them as a force of war if possible.

More remarks from Exon while I think about it.

"About your weapons, but you'll be creating them when you arrive at my mansion."

"How long will it take?

Sophia asks. Plus Exon prefaced "Don't worry".

"Exquisite for about five days. Let's test your magic and give you something good."

I would say that there are no more problems with securing weapons. The remaining issue is another candidate for emperor - shall we talk to Abel and see him? You should do what you can, more than just be out of the frame of the scenario. You might know where Yusuka is.

"Are we leaving tomorrow?

Sophia asks. I snorted,

"Oh. Get some rest for tomorrow -"

After the next day, we head to the town where the Marquis' Mansion is located while gathering information. Means of travel are carriages. This happened because we can't just put Exon down and act like this.

As a companion, Abel and several mercenaries in addition to Exon. I hear the other faces will be moved elsewhere.

And one report enters as we head into town... the army that was in progress suddenly retreated.

"You seem to understand that I've turned to the enemy."

Exon speaks with a grin. I guess that's what happens when you think about it in common sense...... somehow, I felt uncomfortable.

No, it's perfectly natural to leave if you find out the Marquis has betrayed you. But instead of keeping the army in tow, it seems to be a complete retreat. Have you prepared yourself for the likelihood of the Marquis attacking and not reducing your power?

Maybe I think too much... and here I tell Abel.

"Mr. Abel, do me one favor"

"What's up?

"As we fight in the future... we could move independently, too. In some cases, it's possible that I'm alone."

"With that strength, I need you to work hard."

Exon says. Somehow, from the way you put it, you're going to make them fight pretty hard.

"Well, that's why it could naturally be impossible to be a Sofia escort. Given her strengths, I don't think we have to worry about that... once and for all, I want people to work with us, including liaisons with the organization, etc."

"... then the accommodation will work. What's the candidate?"

"There's someone from the organization in the next town, too, right? I'm gonna say my name, so why don't you let me meet that person? I'll judge from that."

"Okay."

Nodding Abel. Just set the stage to meet first... I kept thinking in the carriage about what I would do in the future.
