Sword of the Philosopher
Pledges and beginnings
Romilda herself is indisputably responsible for us. Me and Sophia suffered some damage in the last fight. It can be inferred from her attitude that it is considerable, and that is why she has prepared herself to summon the sword of the divine Spirit, etc.
"I know I get anxious. 'Cause that would remind me more than watching the last ending."
When she got to her seat, Sophia prefaced with Romilda.
"But from what I can tell, Romilda looks so nervous holding too many things"
- I made it through the battle with the Demon King, maybe she can understand Romilda's mood.
"Talk to me a lot, if you like. 'Cause that's gonna make it easier."
Frequent silence. I keep my mouth shut and just wait for Romilda's word.
It might be possible for me or Sophia to use more words to relieve her tension... but Sophia apparently made the choice to wait.
A long silence. A tense silence occurs indoors, only time passes. That must have been about a few minutes. But it seemed like an endless amount of time in this space...
"... nothing"
Eventually, Romilda spoke small.
"Nothing... I wanted to... I..."
"Is that about the last fight?
To Sophia's inquiry, Romilda nodded.
"At first, I wasn't supposed to join the fight. But when they asked me about my candidacy for emperor, I started thinking," I'm not fighting either. "
"So with me?
Now this is the question. Romilda nodded again.
"But... I... gained the power of the Emperor's Dragon Demon Stone, but in the end nothing..."
- Regret from helplessness, you mean? I think about how I'm going to respond to her with my head on.
Don't worry, it won't be the kind of thing that takes a word. And... I can somehow guess that Romilda has the same personality to hold and be forced within as Sophia, so I need to think about the words -
"I am."
While thinking, Sophia opened her mouth.
"I still wonder if Romilda should stay in the Mansion"
To that word, Romilda of the day shifts her gaze.
"It's..."
"Romilda, because of the idea that there is a stray somewhere in her mind… that fighting a mastermind in such a state of mind is dangerous. Without those emotions, I would like you to fight with me..."
"- As far as I'm concerned, I don't share Sophia's opinion."
Following that, I opened my mouth.
"But I think Romilda understands that the situation won't allow it."
"... yeah"
"I know what Romilda is trying to say. All we can say right now is that it's not gonna be like the last time... can you trust me?
Romilda does not answer. But the expression also looks a lot softer than earlier.
"... me too"
Romilda spins words.
"Never, I won't let you be like before"
The vow, like the words that leaked small in the dining room, was a secret of determination.
Then, Sophia suddenly tendered Romilda's head.
"Never, because I won't die"
To make that clear, Romilda looks to Sofia still.
"It's not like last time... it's obvious and we can do the best we can. Master Luon deserves it, and I'm not going to lose again."
- You're right.
I say to follow her.
"Thanks to Romilda, I'm ready for everything... I'll stop Nehmeisa this time"
She - after a lot of silence,
"... yeah"
Yes, I answered small.
Then a few days later, at Exon's mansion, we proceeded to prepare pale. Work until critical so that we can settle this battle.
Nehmeisa's trend has the same shape as before. I moved around a lot to get the Dragon Demon Stone, but I couldn't find it either.
And...
"All right, ready"
Day of departure...... get up in the morning and get geared up. Put your right hand on it again, and see if you can produce a sword. As before, the sword obtained in the ruins arose - after seeing it, I gently barebacked in the room.
I can feel the magic coming from my body... after watching it for a little while, I erase my sword and leave the room.
"Good morning, Master Luon"
Sophia's voice. Turn your gaze and you'll see Sophia finished her dominance.
"Morning. Does the sword of the Spirit seem to have no problem?
"Yes, it works properly"
Look at her right hand nodding. Currently, Garc's magic breaks her sword down into magic and blends into her body. The sword of my ruins seems to be the same way again... but if you look around here, do you think you can make use of everything?
With that in mind, I'm going to the dining room with Sophia. Once inside, Richard and Romilda were already waiting.
"Good morning, Mr. Luon"
"Good Morning"
"Good morning, both of you"
At the same time as I got to my seat, I saw Abel and Katra in the dining room and Yusuka late. Did the last Yusuka just wake up or the way she walks is yorky?
Everybody, you're all set.
And Exon is in the cafeteria again - I usually set myself free about mealtimes, but not today.
When everyone is seated, the food is brought in. Exon opens his mouth as he crosses.
"Well, shall I have it?"
- In a strange silence, we start eating. Looking at the look on everyone's face somehow, Abel and Yuska seem nervous somewhere. Meanwhile, women such as Katra and Sofia are eating silently.
Richard confirms other faces just like me... Exxon looks at it somewhere interesting.
During the meal, there was quite a bit of conversation, but it wasn't a very big topic, and after all, the meal ended with little talk and dissolved. I stand up slowly as Sophia and the others leave the dining room.
"Can't you do it?"
So Exon shrugged.
"Finally, today."
- Because it's the day of departure, you want to say.
I leave the cafeteria, shrugging my shoulders, saying, "I think so." Then we go back to the room once, and we probably won't be back here, so check the room.
"You're all right...... go"
Speak up, then leave the room and go to the entrance to the mansion. Crossing the garden along the way, the sight of Abel talking to members of the organization caught my eye.
Everyone squeezes their expressions and waits for the time of departure. Outside town, members of the organization will already be ready and waiting. The moment I join them, the march begins.
I saw them in my eyes, and now it's time to go to the entrance to the mansion. Sophia and the others were already waiting there.
"Dear Luon,"
"I don't think you're coming back here, okay?
"Yes."
Following the reply, Richard also replies "No problem".
Then after a short wait, Abel and the others came from behind the mansion.
"I made you wait."
"The Marquis hasn't come yet..."
and exon with a few knights between saying.
"Everyone, you mean the battle posture is complete."
Abel concurred with his words,
"Marquis, thank you again"
"As far as I'm concerned, I'm just investing ahead. When you become emperor, say hello."
Exon cheerfully tells us that he has a glimpse of who is on this occasion,
"Then let's go."
At the same time as the words, everyone began to move their legs as they headed out of town. Aim is the land of the showdown, the imperial capital. With Nehmeisa, the showdown begins...
