Sword of the Philosopher

Knight Demand

Start training with a new knight - and it's a battle... but if you're not just alarmed, you won't lose.

This time the opponent Noke demands that if he wins - um, from the first time I fight, it doesn't seem strange to think that winning is impossible first... is it because of the aim I dared to tell him that even under circumstances where there is no prospect of winning?

That face - desperate somewhere. It feels as if you've been setting me up for battle with straw.

It bothers me a little... for example, it's not a good idea to lose on purpose and listen. Well, then this is...

Nork packs the time in one step. Behavior is instantaneous and accurate, waving the sword at the same time as it approaches.

Definitely a man of strength. He is young at his age, and he may also be a prospective figure in the Knights.

But I'm not dealing with you.

I take lightly the sword that is unleashed. It seems to have been quite a shock to Nork, as he hasn't put that much effort into it, but his physical enhancement remains applied.

"Huh...!

At the time of first joining the swords, Nork groaned small. You must have felt a difference in power from me. How do we hit it out of here?

He - put his leg forward. Is it just a front break? No, I decided it was pointless to put in a bad little workmanship, and then it could mean setting things straight.

Then let's respond... a second clash. I didn't have any problems with this one, but it still seemed pretty good for Nork and gave me a distressed look.

I'm just curious... how desperate it is to still be unbeaten. Is there any deep reason why you want to beat me until then...?

I push back in doubt. I've figured out what he's capable of, so let me finish.

Flesh thin as the momentum pushed back. Nork, attacked by nostalgia, is compelled to respond to what he does, creating a stray in his eyes - it was a clear gap and fatal in the battle on this occasion.

I wave my sword. I managed to bounce back Nork for the first time, but the sword stops moving if my arm is paralyzed. I couldn't have missed that, and I stuck a cut of my sword to my neck and decided on a battle.

"- So let's end this now"

Eina tells. Because Nork put up a fight against me. It doesn't necessarily mean there aren't other people out there like that...... it would be a decision that as a girlfriend we should avoid such involvement.

Here the knights start to line up side-by-side without anyone telling them. As I watched the change in returning my training sword... the knights confronted me and thanked me.

"Thank you for your guidance!

The training closes with those words... In doing so, I was just a little concerned about the Nork I fought earlier.

The idea was a little distracting if I moved my body... but eventually it became a strength training on my shoulder and I went back to my room with a sense of mental fatigue.

"Ha... I guess this is how it's going until after the festival"

Sigh...... but this is also what I need to be able to do to stay with Sophia. Besides, keeping standing next to her means these days are waiting. Then it's not a bad idea to get used to it now.

Somehow I went through the life of the castle...... or the life of the royalty and those associated with it, and I really thought Sophia was amazing. From what I've spent as a civilian falling out of my status as a nobleman, I even feel like I have no choice.

"I wonder if you'll get used to it if you continue with these lives"

I just thought I'd adapt a little faster... the sound of a knock.

When I replied, thinking it would be Eina, the door opened and she appeared as expected.

"Lord Luon... and you seem tired"

"With unexpected training."

"I'm sorry there. As far as I'm concerned, I thought it would be a little more convenient... at the end of the day when someone would even call it a battle. Be careful in the future."

"No, that's fine... and if there's a festival going on and you become an official fiancée, and you start living in a castle, this will be your routine. Then you can go through it."

"Well... Lord Luon is not used to it yet though. I still need a chance to refresh in moderation..."

"Come on, that story... so, Eina. About the knight earlier."

"Are you willing to stick your neck in?

"In addition to having a fight there, he seemed kind of desperate."

Eina breathes small in my words.

"I said it was your honor to speak to Lord Luon... but I will include him firmly in the nook"

"Well, that's fine, but I was just wondering, so tell me about what it was about. If it was just a petition or something, I'd go through it, too."

"If so, it's a good idea to ignore it. If we do something bad here, the others will push us to Lord Luon."

... I have no power or anything at all, but the position of Sofia's fiancée is quite remarkable. We need to be careful what we say and do in the future.

"Ok... I was going to ask you again about what you were going to ask for."

"Oh well. Well, then, please."

That's why Eina leaves the room... there are no events after this on this day and the day is over.

The next day, I was sitting in a chair in my room thinking about what to do in the morning, and Sophia came to my room.

"The festival is going to take place as planned."

"Well... doesn't that seem like a problem or something?

"For once."

Keep the festival going and resume your journey…? Somehow I feel the biggest mountain field is after the festival. I think the king is explaining something to the heavy ministers so that Sophia and I can continue our journey, but some of them will make a move to hold back. I wonder if that's the problem.

I wonder what I'll do then... I think about it in my chest, and I hear more knocks. When I replied, Eina showed up, but I saw what Sophia looked like.

"Ah, Master Sophia... Lord Luon, I'll talk to you later -"

"About yesterday? I don't care now."

"What's wrong?

Sophia asks, so I'll be brief. Then Sophia turned her face to Eina, who was also interested,

"Did you get the details that you're here?

"Yes... that doesn't mean I wanted to get information"

"Information?"

Tilt your neck. And Eina lays her gaze over here,

"Lord Luon would know... from that idea, I seem to have made a request like yesterday. I was unable to visit Lord Luon's room, so I felt compelled to do so."

"Is that what you mean... what's in it?

When asked, Eina shrugged her shoulders,

"It exists on this continent... about 'God Hidden'"
