Sword of the Philosopher

The next day, as we were having breakfast, we heard about our inn and Alto and the others came.

"Hey, I'm talking about Lorna's body coming in the morning, so I've been contacting you."

"Oh, is that true? What are we gonna do with the place?

"I'm talking about going to that person's place or talking in a liquor store."

"Exactly. It would be bad to interrupt, and I guess we'll have a talk at the liquor store today"

"So, can we hang out, too?

"... why not?

When asked, Alto laughed "Ha ha".

"No, Rona told me, you're the one doing research on the demon nest or something, right? I'm a little interested, too."

"I don't know what the content is, but it's probably gonna be a professional story, okay?

"That's fine. I was wondering if maybe there would be a story about how it would be easier to attack demons."

Listen to that word, and I'll ask him a question.

"Alto, did you have a feeling that the power of the sword had fallen in the demonic nest or something like that?

"Powerful? Well, it's just a magical place, so it might have a little impact, but I'm unconscious. How's Caln?

"Neither do I. What about Ignos?"

"Likewise"

... that means I'm the only one after all?

"Then why did you think it would be easier to attack?

"There's so much magic out there, I was wondering if I could use it."

Oh, I see.

"Does that affect you?

"Sophia and Romilda don't change anything, but I'm the only one who's unusually weak."

"Oh, really... you knocked down a really strong enemy under that circumstance, didn't you? On the contrary, it's amazing."

"I can think like that, but as far as I'm concerned, I want to fix it."

"Is that why you asked Rona to look into that?

"Oh. Even if it's a compatibility issue between the nest and my magic powers, I need to check the nest first"

Alto agrees "Sure"... after breakfast we all head to the tavern.

"Oh, speaking of which,"

And, Caln opens his mouth to the lid.

"I came back and realized you were rumored about the Luons."

"Us? Well, you defeated a giant demon."

"Looks like the name's on the rumor, and it's going to be amazing if we keep it up."

... Let's not imagine what that's like.

Eventually when you enter the liquor store you reach, you discover Rona. Next to it,

"Oh, thank you. Nice to meet you."

There is one man with glasses, who seems to have a low back. White based garment, clean but still somewhere plain impressed, just like Rona.

How old are you, like, thirty? He either shriveled to this gaze or he gave a dry grin.

"Uh, my name is Red-Bryne. I'm Rona's uncle."

"Nice to meet you. My name is Luon-Maddin. Thank you for coming this time."

Then Sophia and the others introduced themselves. Then we move to a place where we can sit in the back of the store for a large number of people.

"So, what is it you want to ask me?

"Yes. Before I do that, I confirm, are you sure you want to be a magic researcher?

"Yeah, right. At the end of the day, we have received a request from the State to investigate the demonic mirror."

Oh, you might expect this.

"Okay. So, there's a reason we talked about this, and when I engage with demons, my magic and moves are getting harder to work with."

"Mr. Luon's own?

"Yes. It doesn't affect my fellow Sophias. Alto and the others are unconscious, so as far as I can tell... are these rare cases?

To inquire, Redo put his hand on his mouth. I kind of have a bad feeling about it.

"...... Demonic Mitsuki is a place where there is a lot of magic. There's a good chance it's harmful enough to affect the person who stepped in."

"Bye -"

"But it's odd that it makes it harder to work, like you do. It is assumed to be harmful because the demonic party will modulate itself in one way or another, such as being ill."

"What makes it harder for an attack to work against an enemy when it does...?

"Once you look it up, you can't say for sure...... does that mean you're inconvenient with your magic compatibility?

Led tilting his neck. Can you conclude without examining my own magic?

It's just that if you don't feel this way about normal people, naturally it's just my problem... doesn't that mean it's hard to shoot countermeasures too? Because generic technology doesn't make it possible, and I have to take care of everything to suit me.

"There's a simple way to find out."

Saying so, he explored his nostalgia and took out things like crystal spheres.

"Grasp it gently and put your magic into it. Because you can see qualitative things in color."

"Oh, yes."

I can receive crystals and put magic into them... Speaking of which, I haven't really done much magic testing myself.

I've been doing a lot to get stronger since I was a little girl, but I didn't do anything professional like magic analysis because I used my game knowledge to get stronger. You might want to look back on yourself around here.

A little with that in mind, the crystal had a slight heat. When I opened it, it was glowing red.

"Here's what happened."

Giving it away... Redo frowned. Hmm, is something wrong?

"... red?

"Looks like it."

"Is it special?

To Sophia's inquiry, Redo was often silent...... Eventually,

"... red is outside the quality of magic contained in this crystal."

"... to?

Does that mean you can't analyze it?

"Isn't it because Mr. Luon has a lot of magic?

And, alto mentions. But Redo shook his head left and right.

"It doesn't matter how much. According to the story, Mr. Leon seems to have the strength to defeat the top demons... but that doesn't mean this crystal can't be analyzed by its amount."

"Uh, and then you're hosting a spirit or something, is it?

I speak with Resbail in mind.

"I have something different in my body than my natural power."

"... spontaneously earlier, Mr. Luon emitted his magic, didn't he? In this case, Mr. Leon's own magical powers are supposed to rise, and it's hard to imagine that such forces would mix."

Um, the more I hear, the more suspicious the clouds get.

"Right, why don't you head to the lab I'm using once?

"The lab?

"There's a facility in a town called Marchesta, north of here, where I do research. So with a little more research, we might be able to figure it out."

Right...... see Sophia. She nodded promptly,

"What should I or Romilda do?

"Uh, if it's just analysis, I'll be the only one..."

"I'm a little interested, so let me accompany you."

Richard continues. Then...

"Sophia and Romilda will be waiting for you in this town. Oh, sure, you can be hunting demons in the meantime."

"Confirmation, but even if we fight demons, it's the same place as yesterday, right?

And Alto asks.

"Oh, yeah..."

"There's a lot of them in and out of the woods, so we can show them around."

"Then me and Romilda move a lot with Mr. Alto and the others."

"Right. Alto and the others, please."

"Leave it to me."

"Say hello."

Caln raises his light-hearted voice. So, I headed back to Ledo,

"That's why me and Richard are coming with you"

"Okay. When will you be on your way? I have no problem right now..."

"Then, now"

"Okay."

Redo nodded - the future policy was decided.
