Sword of the Philosopher

Aggregation of forces

"Now that you understand the situation, let's finally get down to business. I got this whole series of information, and the first thing I thought about was how Nehmeisa did it."

"How?"

Anastasia snorts at me when I ask back.

"The Marquis of the Four Dragons gathered together for the material, but thus used artificial dragons and so on to counter it. It seems that the Princess Sophia has risen to defend her... I think this is a mistake."

Anastasia, who told him so, leaked a grin close to a bitter laugh.

"Lord Luon, does the dossier say that Nehmeisa is preparing for the final showdown?

"Oh."

"This can be considered to be a match between the two thoughts. As Nehmeisa, I want to gather the strength to defeat us to the point where we are critical. And Lord Luon and the others want as few victims as possible."

"Exactly"

"Think Nehmeisa used it there."

Usage? While in doubt, Anastasia expressed her view.

"The material written by Lord Richard does not say that he prepared for the final showdown… it is different, in fact I think that preparation is the preparation to contain Lord Luon and Princess Sophia"

... what?

"No, no, no, no, no, no. Whatever."

"I never thought of that when I first read the material... not two of the three people who hold the key to this battle. With so much repetition, Nehmeisa leans so much power... I think that's what it is."

"Against me, or... by the way, who do you think is the other one holding the key?

"It's not Romilda. I see power, and I am certain of it."

"She's..."

"Have you checked that power yet?

Does the Marquis of the Four Dragons mean she talks that far... she crept through quite a bit of a training ground in the last battle?

"Let's keep talking. For my part, I can understand to some extent what kind of prospect Nehmeisa is. Rather, we believe that we have used the naughty course of action"

"... I see"

Exon opened his mouth.

"As for Nehmeisa, she won't win unless she defeats you or Princess Sophia. But the two of them possess considerable strength. If so, there is one thing to do"

"Yes. I mean -"

Drop the tone of your voice, Anastasia says.

"He backfired on his policy of keeping as few victims as possible... by deliberately using artificial dragons and such in Imperial Capital, the Luons will not protect the people."

- Oh, you mean that.

"You're despicable."

Sophia says. Anastasia responded with a grin to it.

"You didn't think you'd win if you didn't. I mean, isn't it within his calculations to use the people of Imperial Capital?"

... By shielding the people, do you think we should be defeated?

"Perhaps, then, he unleashes the measures he was planting and strikes the people. Naturally Lord Luon goes in to stop it. In the meantime, it doesn't mean activating further trump cards."

"... you should be able to work with the Marquises if you can't do that"

"Seems to have divided the Imperial Army's power between the Marquises."

"Then I and Sophia alone will have to defeat our enemies, starting with that artificial dragon."

"If you don't want Nehmeisa to enlighten you until you're critical, you just have to do it. Regardless, you have the option of hitting the lead as soon as this one is ready. However, this increases the likelihood that Nehmeisa will escape. I don't want information around here."

Where to mount the offense - that's going to be an important decision. Anyway, I don't have time for this, but I've got more to do.

Drop your eyes on the material here. The information around here...

"... Richard was apparently trying to create a powerful weapon"

"Um, that's where it's clearly stated about collecting dragon demon stones. We need to do something to make Nehmeisa understand what's going on here."

"And… what kind of weapon to create…"

The material states that the dragon demon stones obtained are to be collected in one point.

"You want only one more powerful weapon than multiple weapons?"

"Of, I guess. And that's why Nehmeisa's escape prevention."

"You can probably use the magic that exists underground to escape. I guess you have the power to seal it."

"Uhm. Odora should secure the Dragon Demon Stone as appropriate and take action against it."

"Don't you compartmentalize."

Exon says dissatisfied.

"Well, let's admit the information you provided was very meaningful. But here's the final decision to make."

"I don't need a lead either. We just need you to fight what you think."

and here Anastasia pulled out her shoulder strength.

"After this visit, I seem to keep in touch with Oodle, apparently in silence. Therefore, I decide to construct a contact route. Exon, the remaining Marquis of the Four Dragons - but you better watch your back."

"I know."

Anastasia grins against the nodded exon.

"And about this world's original Romilda, but don't worry, we'll deal with it properly..."

That's it, Anastasia grinned at Exon.

"By the way, Exon. The material says that the negotiations managed to come together, so we had a little feast - a meal, too."

"... it's about you. I guess the last time I said this was one of the consideration, I made a pretext for being forced to drink half the time."

"Um, I think so too"

... Was it set to be a liquor lover? Well, but this is how we talk, so I guess so.

We need to give you a little breath break.

"... even though Nehmeisa is looking at the sight. Do we need to do this in this situation where we're all face-to-face, knowing what's going on?

"No, you should have done it here. That's more than just the right flow."

...... what is this interaction. I guess Anastasia simply means "I want to drink for a reason".

"... Anastasia, I'd like to ask, but there's no reason to do it."

"I read the material, but I don't know anyone named Yusuka or Abel. I should've seen you face to face."

"For the most part, you don't have to drink and make a scene. Besides, it's about you, you just want to drink the wine I own for free."

Both sides are sparkling eyes, but the contents are needless.

I was wondering if I should put in a follow up...... it was Exon that eventually distracted me.

"... okay. Sooner or later, I wanted to talk to the face of The Sword of Heaven on quite a few occasions. Even in the sense of deepening friendship, it won't hurt to do it"

"Does that mean it's okay?

Anastasia grins joyfully and inquires. Do you feel like doing it?

"You're the starting point of the story is hooked, but there's no harm in doing it"

And Exon tells us.

"Do you want to keep the name a friendly society... when fighting the emperor, me and Anastasia, and the face of" The Sword of Heaven "face to face"

Decisions. We have no reason to deny them, so we nod and agree.

"Hey, exon then. Let's hurry up today."

"... the mansion has been destroyed, and it can't be so flashy."

"It's not like we're going to make a big deal out of it, and it's not a problem. As far as I'm concerned, I can't wait to meet Lord Abel, the emperor's candidate."

Which way would I have needed to talk to the face of the organization, and should I think that's the opportunity?

"Suddenly, you're lucky it's morning. If we hurry about the steps, we'll make it. Anastasia, what are you gonna do?

"Let me see Romilda."

"... Mr. Luon, please."

"Okay."

Nodding, Anastasia also said "hello" - the noisy discussion ended.
