Sword of the Philosopher

Back in the room, Gark talked to me earlier.

"That's a lot to talk about."

"Totally..."

But I'm really not conscious at all...... you're engaged to Sophia.

Here I look back on my previous journey. I have a history of being stopped from confessing, but as a Sophia, I don't think I'd be able to travel the way I've ever been if I were in a "relationship like that".

I mean, Sophia didn't think it was a good idea to be confessed. I don't know why I thought so.

"Honestly, as far as I'm concerned, it's nice to have a conversation together, but there are aspects to it."

"... why?

'We had a relationship we couldn't stay away from, but our surroundings stopped allowing it... Whatever the history, it inspired us to change the relationship between Lord Luon and Princess Sophia... if we were to bond stronger as companions now, we might fall in the right direction, right?

"Yes, I wonder..."

"I will be talking about the battle, but the power of Princess Sophia will be essential in the battle against God... as Lord Luon, I may come to the idea of taking my fiancée aside, etc., but I think that kind of person should be nearby. Someone with strong ties. '

The grounds were - and Gark continued earlier.

"When we get to the extreme, that's what we need to be at the end of the day... to exert our power, to defend something, yes"

"Is that what it is...?

Lord Luon may not understand it yet.

- Somehow, the question arose as to whether Gark had such a presence, but he didn't seem to answer me when I asked him a question, so I stopped opening my mouth.

Anyway, I have to talk to Sophia...

Lord Luon, I'm going out for a while.

"... hmm?

I frowned at Gark's remarks.

"Outing?"

"Uhm, you can go away with a single person. Just a little stroll around here '

... that's too abrupt, but I guess that means we'll be alone when we talk to Sophia. I said, "Fine," and the sign of Gark disappeared from my body.

That's where I hear knocks. It was the samurai who opened the door when she responded.

"Princess Sophia wants to talk to you."

"Oh."

I snort out... Well, I wonder what happens.

I kept walking down the hallway, setting up a matrix on how to put it into words in my mind.

Standing in front of Sophia's room, she first knocks and reacts.

"... go ahead"

Slightly between them, I heard a voice. I said, "I'm coming in."

There, conditioning and other items can also be seen, but as interior, they fall into a simple category. Well, I didn't imagine Sophia putting a lot of stuffed animals or anything like that.

And then Sophia sits in a chair at the window and looks outside. I can't see the expression from this one. I moved to sit in a chair across the street from the round table.

Arrow tip trying to get to her seat, she bowed her head wondering if she had turned her expression this way.

"Sorry, really... sorry..."

"No, I don't need to apologize..."

She doesn't try to raise her head. to Sophia like that. This one laughs bitterly. There was no other

"Uh, Sophia. You don't have to apologize. Let's talk about what's coming."

"... Yes"

But I still don't look up. I thought things were weird all the way up here.

"Sophia, what's going on?

Pickle, and her shoulders tremble. So you noticed. Slowly looking up,

- I had a girlfriend with tears and a bright red face.

"Dear Luon..."

It was a puzzling face about what to do... but it makes me beat weirdly fast because I think it's kind of cute.

"Oh, uh, you know... you could have waited until you felt calm?

"I'm so sorry to keep you waiting for Master Luon... that, really -"

"No, you don't have to apologize"

We can't talk about this. I laughed again when I saw how she was doing.

Well, somehow I could have expected this to happen, but this is with the outer moat completely buried, so he's more sorry for me than he's ready for his heart.

No matter how we feel about each other, we have no opinions... and as a schematic, I am shaped like the heavy ministers of the kingdom of Barks.

"... let's check some things out before we get down to business"

Let's just calm Sophia down... I think so. I open my mouth.

"I talked to the king earlier and he said we could make Sofia free for the journey. I think they're gonna talk about that right away."

"As for there, it was good to have them admit it because they were going to go even if they disagreed"

I knew it. After such a grunt in my chest,

"Next, about our future policy... but first we need to find Oldia, who is a clue to us, to get information about the demon world, okay?

"Yes."

"It just seems like we have very little to do because Garc will look into it... now we have no problem with travel policy"

"So, um..."

Sophia opens her mouth. I changed the story a little, so I think I've got a lot of calm back, but I still have a puzzling look on my face.

"Here, we're talking about an engagement..."

"Yeah. About that -"

"First, let me state my thoughts"

She takes a deep breath once.

"… for engagement, I will explain the flow. Basically, if someone in the royal family is going to get engaged, they have to have a festival."

"Festival?"

"On the top floor of the castle, there is a place for each other to make a recognition contract with their future partners. By doing so, I publicly declare myself engaged to the public."

I see... I need steps.

"So, right...... in conclusion, the engagement itself will not be officially concluded unless it goes through that festival. Plus it won't be public unless you do it. So if we don't have a festival, we can handle the engagement internally."

Hmm, you mean that? As for Sophia, I'd like to say, "We haven't published it yet, so we can make it on this matter".

Probably feel sorry for me and let me get rid of my fiancée position for one second...... that's what it looks like.

"... well, if it's certainly not public, do you have that hand too"

"So, Master Luon -"

"I just want to ask one question. Sophia..."

What do you think about this one... I try to ask that and find it cowardly.

I don't know what she thinks first... it won't be.

Shouldn't I tell you what I think first?

"... no, fine. There's just something I need to say before we discuss the engagement."

"Ah, Master Luon, the -"

Sophia tried to say something, but I control it with my hands. As for Sophia, she was stopped talking and I just had to push her to shut up.

So I... spinned words on her.
