Sword of the Philosopher

They put me through the back of the liaison office, sat on the couch in a guestroom-like place, and I was supposed to wait.

Approximately five minutes while sipping the tea served. It was one male knight who came in after Knock.

"Let me come here and thank you"

Is she in her thirties or something? With a mild atmosphere, I wonder if he also plays a backward supporting role rather than coming forward in battle, etc.

"I'm Jay-Malot. This time on the feast of angels, he is one of the people entrusted with the operation."

"Can you be a pretty great guy?

"Not yet as a rank, but it looks like they're looking forward to the future, and this is how they've entrusted me with the big role"

Ha ha, and laughing Jay. High practical ability, something like that?

"Well... nothing else called me out like this. About the existence of your defeat."

"I don't mind, but I don't know why I called you in this way... tell me how it went and what I should do with it"

"Oh, of course. First of all, if you sense that something like that appears, you have an obligation to report it."

"Is that an angel's request?

"Oh, yeah"

Jay at the head. I wonder if the presumption of a fallen angel is correct.

"The angel side is investigating the existence you fought for, and if the magic touches at all, the magic tools you're giving to the banquet participants are starting to take in. In other words, the angels are eager to see the trends in those beings."

"So, you want to talk to me this time?

Nodding again Jay. I see.

"What's more, you are fighting and winning the mighty beings you encounter. In view of this fact, I wanted to listen, and thus set the scene."

- It's a pleasure to be able to talk to the management, but still can't we meet with the angels... No, I guess that depends on the way the conversation is conducted?

"So, what exactly do I say?

"I want to know more about the existence you encountered."

"That being said, all I know is the exterior traits and names… you may not guess the exterior"

"Why?

"Before we defeated him, the enemy himself named him a splinter."

Jay is silent. He seems worried about what to do. Hmm, well,

"Um, can I have one?

"Go ahead."

"You said that angels are relevant for setting up a place like this earlier...... don't angels themselves ever come to these places?

"I haven't reported it yet at this stage. I said I was obliged earlier, because we also need to compile some information"

Oh, you know what... then we should give him proper information and make sure the angels come to us.

So I'll explain to him. In the meantime, knights take notes one at a time, so that angels can be properly informed.

The series of explanations itself ends in approximately fifteen minutes. Then Jay asked me.

"That's all you possess... plus people from the continent of Sherzia were you involved in the battle against the Demon King?

... Sounds like you haven't passed on my name to the operator.

"Well, yeah... if you're from the same continent, you might sound familiar."

Exactly lacking credibility or something to say from myself, I thought, so slightly clouding the words, Jay answered "well" and cut the story off. Do you think the fact that you defeated Anverate is enough, etc. to test your strength?

"Thanks, that's the end of the story"

Oh, that's about it for now for the interview...... then,

"Um, can I have one?

"What's up?

"If I reported that, is there any action from the angel side?

When questioned, Jay put aside for a while,

"I don't know what will happen. It's just amazing... I don't know if there's anything more to it than destroying an opponent like that, though."

"… for once, am I attending a feast for the purpose of meeting an angel"

"To an angel? Are you gonna tell me why?

I'd like to ask you not to go into details.

"... there are circumstances"

So I thought you'd convince me, but the knight said, "Okay." He doesn't pry deeply.

"If I may, shall I tell you about the area"

Oh, you're serious.

"Yes, if possible...... please"

"Fine."

Hasn't this progressed considerably? Is that all the threat of the presence of a fallen angel named Anverate?

That ended the conversation and I left the liaison office. A knight reports to the angel side... and then he's interested in me and there's a chance he'll come over here... um, should we have talked a little bit more about me or Sophia?

"Well, that would be enough."

And this is Gark's word.

"At the time of the destruction of the existence of the Anvelate, the angel side should be interested. Besides, if you have voluntarily begun to look into Lord Luon... it is highly likely that a request will come for your help in destroying the Fallen Angel '

"I guess... Either way, now I have to wait"

All I can do is look into my magic wherever possible... but I still find it difficult to investigate any more. Mm-hmm. You're running out of time.

Returning to the inn, moreover, Eina sat in the same seat. Sophia doesn't seem to be back yet.

I was wondering if I should speak up... but the demons in the woods have not observed Sophia and the others coming back. It just won't take that long in time - and from what I thought Sophia and the others looked like from the woods.

"I think he'll be back in the evening or so"

Eina replied, "Okay," to this mention, and still keeps waiting in the lobby. That's a different vibe.

"Oh, and Lord Luon. Just one favor."

And demand from her. What is it?

"I don't want you to tell Sophia that I'm here if you want to pick me up, etc."

"... By demanding that, did something happen with her?

"There's nothing definite about it... I just want to ask you"

Well, I know she doesn't imitate things like being slashed by Sophia... so there won't be any danger for now, and I nodded.

Then she replied, "Thank you," and I knew I wouldn't move while sitting in the chair. I don't care, Eina, but the atmosphere doesn't bring any visitors.

"Oh, and Eina. I know we'll probably talk a lot after we rendezvous... you want to join in on that?

"Of course."

Nodding Eina. You know, like a chipmunk who's involved with us. I just want to talk to Sophia if I can do something about it... but I'm going to follow whatever you say at this rate.

Hmm, even if she pulls away considering the powerful stuff, she's strong enough to have her name on the bulletin board herself, and I wonder if it's difficult. It's just, well, letting it work with Sophia might be effective, and can I look at her strength once and judge her?

In the meantime, draw conclusions - and, uh, realize you're not having lunch.

"Uh, Eina. Dinner?"

"I'm going to eat here"

"Okay. I'll take it outside. Tell Richard when he gets here."

Copy that.

Eina answers with a momentum that seems salutary. Besides, I laughed and left the inn.
