Sword of the Philosopher

No way, at the moment I thought, Yuska was the girl - one step closer to Romilda. Naturally she is alert and looking to the knights.

Behind it, though, is a wall. If we keep this up, Yusuka and the others will take us. Naturally I have to stop - this, even if I appear, Romilda will be wary... there's just no ingredient that can do something about it, and yet no time.

- I don't know what to do.

After whining, he stands in front of a knight trying to get close. Yuska and the others haven't noticed because they haven't solved the magic yet. If we interfere with them, the magic will automatically unravel, so we need to gauge the timing -

Romilda takes a step back. But you can't run away. The question arose as to how she got to this Empire... but let's put it all behind us.

"Waited."

I raised my voice. Meanwhile, Yuska and the others notice me standing directly in front of them.

- What?

After consternation, Yuska and the other knight pulled out their swords at the same time.

"Who are you?

"For once, I'm the guardian of this child."

I'll say it for a try. Though it may be subtle as in Romilda's mind.

"I'm sorry I let you walk out in the middle of the night. I was wondering if you could miss it."

- At this point I paid attention to Yusuka. He's making a knight's stand. It didn't dress like this in the game, so it's fresh for me.

I think it's also on the brink that I ran into him here...... like Romilda, can't he take him back?

"Don't be silly"

Yusuka responds to my words with a mockery.

"She is a man of the court who was politely invited."

"... Then why are you here?"

More mysteries again...... but now I know what Nehmeisa was trying to do.

I tried to get her inside the court for a reason. So this is the result... does it mean that Romilda felt something dangerous?

Fine. We're behind on that.

"Be polite, hey"

Slope and I'll respond.

"I don't care what you think, it doesn't look like this kid is up to it."

"If you stand in my way, I won't forgive you."

Yusuka's heavy words...... all I can feel from it is the temper to complete my duties as a knight.

His personality was like a quiet bloodthirsty guy, but he had quite a bit of joy and sorrow during the game. Even minus the fact that I work as a knight, it's a lot uncomfortable for me to have an inorganic attitude so far.

What, manipulated...? With that in mind, consider what to do with him.

Even if we manage to take them away, that means of travel is the problem. Richard won't have the demons ready, but he won't be here until about noon tomorrow, no matter how early. The magic of movement cannot be used involving others, so we have to somehow take charge of the two of them and escape the capital.

Nevertheless... even if things were to happen after Richard arrived, I wouldn't be the first to encounter a situation like this. Romilda and Yuska - the only way to do something about these two is now.

"Are you listening?

Yusuka asks me unresponsive. Voices with no emotions on them. I still feel uncomfortable somewhere.

The only way to figure it out is to still get him.

"Warn. Leave like this. If you disappear now, you have nothing to do."

That's what you usually say. I called to the user demon who was around, and there are no other knights nearby. Well, then...

"... I'm sorry"

"Huh?"

A moment of action. Shortly after approaching the other knight, who was not Yuska, he stuck out his right hand.

The next thing I released was Thunderbolt, a lightning attribute inferior magic. If adjusted well, it is possible to have a stun gun-like effect, and he takes a direct hit - falling down.

It has no effect whatsoever in a situation where it is building a magic barrier, but in a situation close to an ambush, the knight was also unable to cope with the movement. The attack was a brilliant success. There was also the option of targeting Yusuka, but there was a pale and magical presence in his body, so I thought the surprise attack would not work.

Then we set a target for Yusuka.

"Oops."

He points his sword at me. This one takes a step back as he pulls out his sword and asks.

"Be quiet and follow me... can you get it"

At the same time as the words, Yuska set it up.

Step into it in one step and swallow the sword. The sharpness was first-class, and he was definitely a knight and steadily raising his arms.

I'll put my sword together. The power it conveys is quite good, but it is easy to deal with.

Hear the sound of the sword and there is a chance that other knights will come... do you want to finish it quickly?

"Huh!"

Blink with a slight breath. For the first time, Yusuka was able to respond, but the second time she lost it, my blade touches the armor.

I used to gather magic into my sword, and I just shock waves. Through the armor, it hits Yusuka's body… it feels like this attack has definitely fallen out.

"Gu..."

If this doesn't sink, Yusuka falls and falls. It was a pitiful battle, but given the difference in strength, is it a natural result?

Then turn around. Look at Romilda, who's still stiff, and I open my mouth.

"Can you believe I'm here to help you?"

"... you know what...?

After a slight silence, she looks up at me and the girl asks. Your body seems to be solidified, and there's no sign of escape for now.

"I'd love to talk to you about a lot of things, but it's a situation where you've defeated two knights. I can't do it much longer."

The user demon reports that there are no other knights around. You should leave here soon.

"Let me ask you one question. Looks like the knight was chasing me, but why?

I was wondering if you would answer, but Romilda seemed to be aware of the fact that she had at least been helped, to which I replied softly.

"Those people... magically tried to seal me up"

- You shouldn't have any magic knowledge, but apparently you could recognize the fact that it would be sealed.

Hmm, didn't you mean to take sides because you are an emperor's candidate? But I'm a little concerned that sealing it up... isn't like executing it or something.

"What do you mean, seal it up?

"Huge...... tried to seal my body in a dragon demon stone"

Intuition here. Sealed, not executed...... What if, during the use of a special dragon demon stone held by the emperor, you thought to use the power of her emperor candidate?

If Nehmeisa is redoing the past over and over again, it's not surprising to think of such a proposal.

"Okay. I want you out of this town. The reason... I'm sorry, but let me explain later."

Romilda nodded small. It's quiet to see if the point of helping is a rating.

"For once, do you trust me?

"... well, I don't think he's a bad person... somehow"

- I wonder if Romilda could tell if he was hostile because of his high potential. When I was invited to the castle, I thought my life was in danger because of those abilities and ran away. So, you can't feel that stuff from me, so it feels like you're not running away? I also feel less alert... but am I still confused? Well, that would be more convenient.

As for the stream she's in here, the knights take her back to the castle. At this point, the knights had not heard what to do with her, and Romilda must have quietly obeyed by the fact that she had also been called from the castle. I feel like I'm in danger as a result, going outside the castle... something like that.

There's just one thing that bothers me. It is not uncomfortable for a knight to search for her. However, if I'm going to keep her from escaping, I think I'll be on guard at the castle gate... the soldiers to be partitioned were normal, and there's no way they're getting more.

Does that mean you haven't even told the castle people about her? Considering Nehmeisa's direct report and the fact that only the "Black Sword" is in motion, is that a reasonable conclusion?

Here I cut off my thoughts and open my mouth.

"It would help if you could trust me. Then..."

I turn to Yusuka, who falls.

"To escape, let's start moving."
