Sword of the Philosopher

Meeting food, so the rooms hired are just a little big. It started somewhere in a tough atmosphere, but the air eventually softened because Exon was in such a way as not to participate either.

"- I'm ready for the handicapped knight."

Abel cuts out as she carries the steak to her mouth.

"There are some aspects of me being a bit confused this time in the form of my own lead... but let me do whatever I can"

"Oh. I'll do my best to get settled in this fight, too."

Abel nodded deeply at these words,

"… I would like to take this opportunity to ask you a few questions"

"Go ahead."

"What will Mr. Luon do when this battle is over?

- Atmospheres like public discourse. Maybe it didn't make any deep sense, but I figured Sophia and Richard would just react a little.

"You haven't decided on this at the moment. But there's something I'm trying to do."

"So you're gonna focus on it?"

"Oh. Sorry, but we can't hang out with what happened after the showdown."

Since Abel took office as emperor, it is self-evident reason to think about it and make it troublesome because of the situation on the continent. So maybe as far as he's concerned, I'd like you to cooperate...

"Well, that's too bad."

"But, well, you'll be in the Empire for a little while, so if anything happens in the meantime, it'll work."

"Ok...... and although it may be too soon to worry about everything until after the war"

"No, there's no harm in thinking about that."

Drinking soup, I say - then Yusuka asks the question.

"Mr. Luon... he's not fighting with the sentiment that Nehmeisa and the Emperor hate him, is he?

"Hmm, well, sure. Me, Sophia, and Richard aren't fighting with feelings of grudge. Is Yuska?

Silent him. Hmm, he threw himself into the rebel organization in a different way than the game...... he used to be a knight at one time, and he's confused?

"I... listened to the voices of the 'Sword of Heaven' people, including Katra, and all sorts of people..."

At least, it sounds like there's something about him.

"It's just not good to think there's a stray and hesitation, but are you okay?

"I'm fine there"

Yusuka snorts loudly. Somehow sending her gaze to Katra, she was nodding. I guess that means don't worry.

"How about Katra?

"I haven't changed since I decided to join the organization and fight through it."

Resolute voice. Take that word and start talking like Abel is in tune.

"I haven't changed my mind about defeating the Emperor... and what I do is reward the people who have joined the organization so far"

Powerful expression. His organization nearly collapsed once. Based on that, I can deduce that readiness is considerable.

Yuska, on the other hand, has a slightly more complex look at Abel's attitude. Maybe he thinks inside out that he doesn't have strong feelings for himself -.

I think the strength of the will is one of the elements to fight through... but while thinking, Abel spoke to Romilda.

"What do you think?

- From being a girl, Romilda has some kind of floating surface that is among the faces that are here. When everyone waits for the word, she just says one word,

"... all, protect"

It was a word leaked with potpourri, but it had enough atmosphere to convince him that he had a strong resolve.

Abel doesn't talk any more. It was also how he questioned making her so determined... he replied "well" and did not pursue.

From there, it becomes chatty and fun, and the story itself is a battle. They wanted to talk to me and Sophia about everything in Abel's organization.

"At this rate, you're going to end up not talking much"

"Maybe... Speaking of which, Mr. Luon, he wants to thank you for the organization"

"Salute?"

"I owe it to Mr. Leon to make it this far, including the battle against the Marquis."

"... you don't have a standing problem over there? I've come to prominence."

"Oh."

Does that mean I'm doing well around there?

"Well, then, please respond by saying you're welcome to the people in the organization."

"Oh, let me tell you"

Laughing Abel. I nodded small...... eventually finished the meeting.

In each move, I wonder if I should go back to my room. I think it would be nice to hear a little bit about it.

"Ah, Yuska"

First I spoke to him as he was about to leave the room.

"Just talk to me, okay?

"Yes."

He nodded, smiling bitterly in his face.

"Maybe it's when you eat?

"Sort of. For others who are moving with a lot of determination, you think something like…"

"Of course there are reasons to fight. But from what I've been doing as a knight, it's a complicated mood."

That's how he replied, squeezing his expression.

"But I promise I won't do anything to help."

"Really... what does Yusuka do after the fight or something?

"Honestly, you don't know what to do"

Put your head on him. It's up to him because I can't just instruct him about it either.

"But I thought I'd move with Katra for a while"

"With Katra?

"I had a lot to talk about during my training, and I was thankful."

Doesn't sound like a bad vibe... Speaking of which, there was an ending tied to Katra in the game.

"Oh well... let's work together"

"Yes."

I looked at him nodding, and I thought I didn't seem worried. I was somewhere else. Next thing you know...

Oh, there he is.

Abel looks out over a dark garden. When he approached, he turned his neck,

"... Mr. Leon, we talked at the dinner table, but thanks to Mr. Leon for getting this far"

"It's only after everything we thank you... and in Abel's case, after the showdown, it's tough."

As soon as he does, he laughs bitterly.

"Honestly, you don't know what happens when you become emperor. I only know that we have to work closely with the Marquises."

"It's painful to suddenly entrust the end of this continent..."

"That's my role, so I can do it. Let's not die of overwork."

After joking, he turned his gaze to me,

"... personally, a girl named Romilda is my favorite"

"Romilda did?

"I'm hearing about her from the Marquis. It will possess the power of the Emperor's Dragon Demon Stone and yet entrust the final phase in this showdown... given the magnitude of its power, I think it is a qualified character. But from the face and determination I showed you at the dinner table earlier, it seems like you're under a lot of pressure."

"Sophia or I will follow you there."

"... what is Mr. Luon going to do with her after the showdown?

"Honestly, I'm not sure what I should do either. However, I can understand how more difficult it is to deal with than even possess the power of the Emperor's Dragon Demon Stone, so I promise to draw a proper conclusion and tell Abel."

"Okay."

Abel nods and I break up with him. When I wanted to talk to Romilda, she and Sophia walked down the hall.

"- Sofia"

"Ah, Master Luon. I'm just glad."

"You want to talk about it?

"Yes."

Romilda's expression is hard. Hmm, what happens.

"... can I join you?

"I don't mind."

Endorsed Sophia walks down the hallway with Romilda. I proceeded down the hall behind it… eventually entering the room that Sophia had given me.
