Sword of the Philosopher

"- First, let's put aside the methodology of how Romilda got back"

I spin words as I sort through my head.

"I'd like her to be present, if possible."

"I'm supposed to tell you everything at this meeting in advance. As for him, he doesn't want to say anything extra."

"From what I've heard, it looks like we've had a bad time in the last fight."

"I didn't want to talk about it."

Anastasia is a dissatisfied face. I see, this is how we talk, but doesn't she know more about it again, too?

"If you read the material, it describes the evolution of the battle, but not the end part of the core. Perhaps you thought it would be a bad idea for Lord Richard to talk about it."

"I see."

Exon was the one who raised his voice here.

"Let's just say, for example, it's hard to think, but Leon, you're going to be in a crisis situation. If you find out about it, Luon, you may move to avoid it. But if you do that, naturally, Nehmeisa will notice."

"No, it doesn't. I'm pretty sure we have measures in place."

Anastasia talks with a grin.

"I only take good care of that while not trying to talk about any core parts"

"It's Richard's decision. I trust you."

Richard next to these words is a troubled face. Can't you just create a sense of what you've done?

"I understood the approximate outline. So, here's the question."

"Uhm."

"One first. If Romilda, who's involved with us, is Romilda, who's turned the clock around, how's she doing in this world?

"Lord Richard was also the first to impose measures. Romilda joined himself in this world, and came under me."

"I mean -"

"I currently work as a maid of residence. So, Romilda, who turned the clock around, was replaced and taken to the castle... given the fact that Nehmeisa did not react with special circumstances, it would be possible to deceive him. As far as he's concerned, someone other than himself might not even imagine going back in time like this."

Anastasia talks funny everywhere. Look at that look, I say.

"Confirmed, but until now, can I assume that Nehmeisa hasn't noticed?

"To the best of my knowledge, none of the elements are noticed. If you're thinking about Romilda, there should be a change at the moment."

After listening to Anastasia, I'll check the contents of the dossier.

In what way this battle will change. Apparently, the last time we did that, we were acting as harmless as possible, and it wouldn't be like waging a war until the time of the final showdown.

"... I have also heard the details of Lord Luon from Romilda. Doesn't that mean you know this fight as a story?

Furthermore Anastasia speaks out.

"However, the information you know is very divergent from the current situation, so it's not very informative. Nevertheless, I had information about the emperor's candidacy and so on, so I had been able to move"

"Correct."

"In that story, how do we develop into an all-out war?

"It was basically a battle between the main character and the Marquis of Four Dragons. The whole continent didn't take the form of a war. The Marquis will all fall."

I want to avoid that future.

Bitter exon. I nod and agree, then ask Anastasia a a question.

"This material has a lot of information on it. We read that the artificial dragon will be completed in about February, but it will actually be completed in about a month."

"I don't think so."

"Thinking about it, I barely have time… Richard is showing me what to do."

"We received a report that the dragon was complete, and Ogura moves out. At this point, the Marquis of the Four Dragons is already on his side, and although it was sudden, we will bring the Marquis' armies closer to the Empire."

With the help of the Marquis of the Four Dragons, we will hold down the Imperial Army.

"On the way, no battle will arise. Instead, Nehmeisa should have dared to think she did."

"It's a trap in itself."

"Um, as the dossier says... Lord Luon is certainly in the Imperial City once to save Romilda. So there must have been some magic underneath."

"Right."

"What guess did you make?

"Ready for war," he said.

That's apparently correct - Richard's material says he used the magic that exists underground at the time of the showdown.

"Lord Luon, one question, what happens if you get the magic that exists beneath you?

"Exactly, I don't know if I can fight with all that magic and win..."

"I'm terrified of what I can't say for sure."

"It's just tough when the magic hits the top, but if it comes in turn, I might be able to figure it out... but I just want to avoid a frontal confrontation"

And here I come up with one.

Instead, about what Richard didn't say in the last dossier - I had some anticipation.

I think Richard will tell you in the dossier that I've done something wrong. He knows I've been reincarnated, and yet he has extra-standard strength. In other words, you would think that measures would be taken if you told them what the end was.

But it's not and I won't tell you anything...... I'm sure this is because I thought that talking darklessly would keep me from moving the way I flow.

I mean, that's all the business I think I should avoid... close associates would have been sacrificed or damaged in some way. Is Sophia the most likely one? In addition, it is possible that many people have been sacrificed.

Or for Richard's own pen, but I can't deny the possibility that we're in a bad situation. Whatever the reason, it's most natural to assume I didn't write it to avoid disturbing it.

Do you understand Sophia or Richard on this occasion about that fact... when I turned my gaze, I nodded back. I guess that means I know.

"Confirmation, but the story is true, right?

Exon asks in case. Then Anastasia grinned,

"In addition to knowing Romilda's information, the same material as Lord Richard's handwriting. I know more about the battle ahead. You have more information than that?

"... I'm angry at what you say, but that's what you're saying. Fine."

"Exxon will help me with my reward."

"You can't say anything definitive."

"You're not a man who keeps his word. That's all I need now. I don't know how you see me, but I trust the Marquis Exon, don't I?

Exon shrugged his shoulder. I can't go out with you, the atmosphere.

"Okay. Either way, it's after the fight. After we settle, we'll talk slowly."

"Um, that's good."

"Okay, Anastasia. What should we do in the future...... do we have a proposal?

She has a full smile. I just said I was waiting for that question.
