Sword of the Philosopher

There was also heat there indoors, but it was limp outside and pleasant for my current body. Coming to the garden, Sophia casually looked up at the night sky.

"... I didn't think you'd be wearing a dress in a place like this."

"Not at all. I didn't think I'd dress like this either."

Sighing, Sophia laughed.

"It suits you very well, Master Luon"

"Hi... Sophia looks great too"

"I don't know, it's lighting up"

We laugh at each other. Because she's a squire, there's no way we could praise each other like this.

"... Well, Sophia. I mean, it's a story."

"Yes, I'm sure Master Luon is guessing too...... we're talking about the battle. Apparently, I will stand in the abyss of death."

"We haven't decided yet."

"But to see from Romilda's attitude, I guess it's close to it"

Hmm, and breathing Sophia.

"I have anxiety. But being ready to die isn't that shocking, because we're going through that prison where Master Luon saved us."

"Oh well."

"I just thought I'd tell you this"

Sophia, who prefaced, squeezed her face tight.

"I need a favor. It is understandable that Master Luon will take action against me. But..."

"If anything happens to you, do you mean ignore it and carry out the operation?

Her words stop asking earlier.

"I know what you're trying to say. You should give priority to overthrowing Nehmeisa, and tell her to put herself behind you."

"Yes."

"You can't do that. Defeat Nehmeisa, and protect Sophia."

To be clear, Sophia is silent.

"... the truth is, it's safe not to let Sophia fight -"

"I will fight"

"That's what I'm talking about. So I promise I will protect Sophia."

"- It is"

She asks hesitantly somewhere.

"Is it because I am the princess of the kingdom of Barks?

"Of course there are reasons for that. But the best reason..."

Words spill naturally. Was it because Sophia in front of me was dressed in a dress and emitting a different atmosphere than usual, or was it impacted by the fervour of the feast?

Anyway, I tried to tell you. But...

"Ma, wait!

Suddenly, Sophia controlled... Huh?

"Wow, I get it...... I will also try to be able to do what Master Luon does"

... This one was out of clap. No, you know.

"Sophia?"

"Hey, what is it?

It's rare to look wolfish... so I'm somewhere wary of this word. I'm sure I can stop you, even if I try to talk about the rest of it earlier.

I was a little confused... but I had no choice but to mouth another topic.

"As for Sophia... I have a plan."

"Proposal, is it"

"But if you try to be the Marquises, you must be impotent"

Yeah, me with a foreword. Sophia's expression becomes something serious, too.

"There are no spirits on this continent...... but there are close beings to it"

"You think you're going to sign with those people?

"I don't think it's going to be until the contract... 'Cause there's not even a certain way of contracting like the Spirit."

"What kind of person are you?

"On this continent it is called 'Dragon Elf'. Dragon men have changed like spirits."

It is not entirely elucidated by what mechanism this will happen. However, it is true that a being called dragon elf is born, and there are many cases where the powerful get there.

"I see... do you mean to use that power like a spirit"

"This way wasn't even in the story, so I don't know if I'll succeed... but if I can use it, I'm pretty sure I can increase my strength in the short term"

"The same way about a warrior against five knights?

"No... Mr. Abel, for example, is already capable at the moment, so with solid equipment, we should be able to handle it. Yusuka and Katra are the problem."

I'll cut the words here once and talk as I sort things out in my head.

"As for Sophia, I think we should also be strong dragon elitists who get us to work together. I have a candidate for this..."

"Is there a problem?

"He's special among dragon elves. Mixed angel power, too."

- What he has is a labyrinth of hidden dungeons of treatment. Because the dragon elite itself was justified as to why it did so, I think it still exists even now that it has become a reality.

"I just don't know if I can really do it, so at this stage, consider me one of the ideas."

"Ok...... but"

And, Sophia intensifies her vocabulary.

"Isn't that the kind of means to put the back of Nephmeiza?

- Sure, you are.

"It's just a pile of problems. As for the angel-mixed guy, he wakes up from the seal and sells us a fight. So, eventually we knock it down and it's over... but I don't even know if we can negotiate"

But Sophia's right, it's worth a try.

"Master Luon, then will you be there tomorrow?

"No, I guess it's Yusuka and Katra first. I think I'll talk to the Marquises about this."

Even after the feast, I thought, etc... do you still have the ability to think for both of them who kept drinking?

"And then, act so that we don't find out about this activity,"

"Right."

After nodding - Sophia laughs bitterly.

"Dear Luon,"

"Hmm?"

"Sorry, for me"

"Naturally for me. I don't care...... and"

"More than that, fine."

Sophia laughs. I feel kind of deluded... but I'm glad to see that look, because anxiety seems to have been removed.

The conversation was over and we went back to the venue - so the feast time slowly passed.

After the feast, talk to Anastasia and Exon. About what to do after tomorrow. By the way, I drank all that and they were both kerosene.

"Anastasia had all that involved."

I'm telling you, I'm not drunk.

Does that mean that that conversation was just as simple and talkative? The extra touches are bad.

Oh, good. For one thing, I'll tell you about talking to Sophia. Then,

"... Lord Luon is truly absurd."

"Ridiculous..."

"At least we can't think of anything. This is the continent of Sherzia… perhaps it is the idea of a muddler living on the continent of the Spirit"

"Sure, don't let us get distracted by drawing the power of Dragon Demon Stone."

Fits Anastasia, Exon says.

"And the labyrinth that existed in the story... sounds interesting"

"It's also expensive about the quality of demons. It is imperative that a fierce battle be fought, and candidates must be considered."

Then I'll accompany you if you're going there.

Anastasian words. Is there any discomfort in accompanying her because of the labyrinth that exists in her territory?

"Are you going there tomorrow?

"No, I guess Yusuka and Katra's ability bottom up for one second. I don't even know if I can handle dragon elves the way I think in the first place. That verification comes first."

"Um, well... I wouldn't know if I didn't try Lord Luon's proposal. We'd better hurry up as soon as we can to see if we can handle that in action. If so."

Sit back once, Anastasia says.

"There is a dragon elf in my realm that I am close to. You should talk to that person first. Because you have so much knowledge, you can verify it."

Oh, that's good news.

"Let me give you a letter of introduction. And the place is mountainous, but there are quite a few demons, so it would be perfect to train Yusuka and Katra."

"Is the demon strong?

"With the follow-up of Lord Luon and Princess Sophia, I can handle it. The problem is more than quality. It's a nasty place where you don't know when or when you're going to be attacked. But let's grow once and for all."

"Then we'll head there first."

As this one made clear, the Marquises nodded.

"So, what are you gonna do over there?

"I shall return to my territory, and shall move on the basis of the materials. Exxon will raise Lord Abel's reputation."

"Oh. Whatever the circumstances, I can't take it off there. Don't worry, I was originally going to finish it in about a month. No change of plans."

Exon smiles. I'm kind of scared.

Let's leave it to him to improve his status. For one thing, the policy was decided. And then it's important to act to avoid being distracted by Nehmeisa.

"After tomorrow, you'll always have to be nervous."

Good luck, Lord Luon.

Anastasia talking somewhere interesting. I shrugged my shoulder - I stayed up late at night.
