Sword of the Philosopher
Top Hunters
The carriage set us off to the appropriate demon nest... and Nell said he was going to dock in the town in front of him. The reason is that the participants in the feast that we are going to meet this time - because there will come a superior human being, and so on.
"I wonder if I should see him once, too"
"Right. Shall I keep you face to face...... Mr. Luon, who's with you?
"Oh, then what about Sophia... what about Romilda?
Romilda shakes her neck sideways in silence. Yeah, then let's not.
"Then Sophia and I..."
So Nell approached the altar. If you wonder what it is, open the tent a little and peek forward.
"... you see it. That's it."
That's what I say and point at her. We followed her, and we looked forward, and there was...
"... Nell, there's a mountain range"
"Yeah, right. That's the demon's nest."
... Isn't it wide?
"I think the valley was pretty big, too,"
and speak as Sophia looks to the mountains.
"This place is quite sizeable..."
"It's one of the largest in the continent."
"Is there a blank zone where there is no state control?"
"It's too big, you know. Seems like I've tried hard to manage it many times in the past, but it wasn't on a scale I could handle. Maybe the answer is that it was half abandoned."
... There was no such vast nest of demons in the game. I mean, at least this place wouldn't have come out in the second story.
"It's going to take a while to attack."
Richard commented.
"On this scale, how many advanced demons..."
"Though that's why more than one of the top humans moved this time"
Nell took his eyes off the mountains and said.
"This place is huge, but therefore the demons don't try to get out of the mountains... rather than have to. So the neighborhood is safer than the rest of the nest."
It's complete in the mountains, he said.
"The main thrust of the feast was the crusade of the demons, so I was more inclined to prioritize places where the damage seemed to be taking place… Still, some people stepped in here, but it was hard to find out in a day or two, and as a participant in the feast, it seemed like they were attacking each other"
"But this time I put my back in."
Nell snorts at my words.
"Yeah, right. It's just not going to be possible in a few days to find out, so it's going to be a long fight."
You can think of it as something that will take some time.
We'll eventually get out of the carriage and head into town. That's pretty big.
"Uh, what are we supposed to do?
Asking Nell for confirmation, she smiled,
"They have a prior explanation regarding fallen angels. And I'm telling you if we're gonna talk in this town, so you can call me and I'll see you at the liaison office."
"Then should we keep it together... about us, by the way?
"I haven't told you yet. Normally, I'd say he was the one who defeated the Demon King on the continent of Sherzia."
... because it's not inconvenient to be informed of that fact, okay?
"You determine your strength, so it's not good without some foil, is it?
"Oh yeah...... one way or the other, I feel like I'm going to have a better eye for Sophia"
"Really?"
Sophia tilting her little neck. I'm not really aware of it, but it was Sophia who actually defeated the Demon King, right?
"Then we'll talk soon."
"Yeah, right. Then we'll go to the liaison office... oh, let's eat before then."
At her suggestion, we started looking for a place to eat.
Then about an hour later, only me and Sophia enter the banquet liaison office. By the way, the rest of us are waiting at the inn.
"Wait till you get here."
Leftover Nell leaves the room...... and Sophia opens her mouth here.
"Dear Luon, at present Eina and Alto are enough to hold an angel's shield...... it doesn't work, does it?
"I can't tell you what I've determined because I don't have a complete grasp of the strength of the two of you... well, it'd be hard to say with the current situation"
Because there's no way I'm going to ask anybody I meet right now... and here I ask her.
"Do you have anything to think about?
"As for Eina, I honestly get anxious that I won't be able to"
I don't know what that means. But I don't...
"If I had enough power, I'd ask for it as far as I'm concerned"
"Yeah, right"
I guess the reason I'm hooked is because I'm still a cousin I've been with for a long time.
"Ok...... sorry, abruptly"
"No, I can't help rubbing my mind."
And here's the sound of a knock. When I reply, the door opens, and Nell and the other look.
Long men. Looks like mid twenties, maybe? Blonde hair that covers her entire body with a white robe and reaches about her shoulders is a lot more distinctive.
And yet, the face is as neat as it seems to receive a woman, and as neat as it seems to captivate the world's women.
"I told them about you by the time I got here."
Nell says. Then I introduced myself to him.
"It's Luon-Maddin. Nice to meet you."
"... it's Serga-Ribel. I'm studying magic at some college."
of magic? When this one hits the correlation "well," he shows his gratitude and
"I've heard a lot about it. As far as I'm concerned, I have no objection to participating in that battle. Regards."
... Appreciating the track record of defeating the Demon King. But that's a lot more serious.
"He is the third man at the feast."
Nell says. Third place, is that the highest place we've met this time?
"Researchers, but their strength does not allow other followers… Few of the participants are pure wizards, but they are undoubtedly holders of the highest power in them."
"I consider myself overrated"
Don't change your expression, Serga says. Um, hard.
"Also, I participated in this feast in conjunction with the study of magic... but there are various constraints to investigating the demonic nest. He knew he could come in this time and decided to join him."
When I listen only to that story, it feels like I'm just a researcher...
"That proves its strength in rank."
"I was just lucky."
Serga speaking in the utmost seriousness. It's the top of the Buddha, but it's never uncomfortable.
Uh, the third was the wizard, and the second was the knight. These two are people who are somewhat related to the public sector. Then, if you are going to ask for cooperation… you may need procedures or something like that.
Well, now that I'm working with angels, it seems fine to be a little unscrupulous... but when I'm silent, I knock anew. When Nell replied, the door opened and now a woman appeared.
The outfit was adventurous, but there was something there. Short hair with blue hair, and equally blue eyes are a lot darker than Sophia's. It also looks black.
Is that the long sword you're carrying? She is reasonably tall, but doesn't look like a warrior at the top of the banquet.
"Oh, come here, please"
Nell points to the side of himself. When she answers yes, she sits next to her in a slow foothold.
"Introduce yourself first. My name is Dieche-Ropschel. He's a banquet participant and a warrior."
... Somehow, there's a serious system to keep standing. I wonder if all the superiors are doing this, and now there's doodles and footsteps.
And there was a knock, and right after Nell responded, the momentum was well banged! and the door opened.
"Is the angel here?!?"
A loud voice echoing in the room...... male but slightly expensive. Loud enough for the sitting Dietzsche to flaunt his face.
... In the meantime, some of them are noisy. With that in mind, I urged him to take his seat.
