Sword of the Philosopher

Because the door suddenly opened without a knock or anything, the owner of the room looked at the entrance in surprise - it hardened. And I got eyes on him.

Were you in the room, girl...... maybe a little under Romilda? The back length is low and the wavy pale purple hair is a lot more impressive.

Anyway, my face was emitting such an atmosphere that my adoration and cuteness were pushed forward and I wanted to protect you unexpectedly.

"Ah..."

Such a girl stares at us and can't move. When I wondered what was going on, Sophia moved on to me.

"It's okay, I'm on your side"

When I tell her cordially, I give in and gaze at her.

"Are you alone here? Or with someone?

"Ah, uh..."

Petan, and she got her ass cake on. Definitely frightened, Sophia approached her to reassure her immediately and hugged the girl.

"It would have been tough...... because I'm fine"

At the same time stroke your head to relieve tension. Then the girl was finally released from rigidity and gave a soothing look.

During such interactions, I check inside the room. This is the only place that is different from other places and has a sense of life...... as big as I was sleeping in a castle in the kingdom of Barks with two beds.

I don't think she's just living with a girl, so I think there's someone else besides her.

"What's your name?

Sophia asks. whereas girls tend to hesitate,

"... Ange"

"Ange, right? Is there anyone else here besides you?

to further questions. The girl nodded cocklessly,

"Your brother..."

"Brother? Where is he now?

"He said he was picking up food in the woods..."

Are you paying for it? Sophia said even more, "Who else besides you and your brother?," she shook her head left and right.

I am here when there is no other...... why is Ange and his brother not leaving this castle.

Hmm, it feels like I saw it. Ask me how I'm here, and you're not going to answer me. Her brother seems to have the details... but the problem is this situation.

Assuming the only thing that raided this castle was the demon, it doesn't seem like a problem to meet my brother, but if the enemy was a demon manipulator or something, I feel like if he saw us, he'd be on guard and attacking us.

I don't think Sophia and I would get hurt if we were in a fight... Well, what's the matter?

"Dear Luon, apparently I have to ask Ange's brother what's going on..."

I snorted at Sophia's words,

"But in some cases, it could clash with his brother."

"Right...... Ange, we have no hostility. But we don't know why this castle is happening, so in some cases your brother could attack us."

Explaining so, Ange nodded firmly as to whether she understood.

"Well, if you trust us... I'd like to talk to your brother, if I may."

... Not long after we met, and I don't know how much I'd be trusted... waiting for a reaction, she eventually nodded.

"Okay. I'll talk to your brother."

"Is that true? Thank you."

Sophia thanked him, and Ange nodded small.

So, me and Sophia go back to the throne... and when my brother returns, Ange tells me we're here.

There's nothing like bowling in here with Ange's brother - his name seems to be Croix - because he doesn't need to go through to Ange's room, and if anything happens, he's just big enough to stand around.

"... I wonder if that means I trusted her about Sophia"

"What do you think? It's just hard to get your mind through the first person you meet right away."

Sophia put her hand on her mouth and began to think about something.

"Considering the tragedy of the castle, assuming someone attacked this castle, the resentment would be considerable… If Ange's brother named Croix is afraid of such a presence, he should either treat Ange so she can never be found or tell Ange to be vigilant if someone else comes"

"Well, you sure do"

"But when we first met, nothing happened to us, and Ange dealt with us normally. From here on in, it's likely that Mr. Croix hasn't informed her of anything... plus, he doesn't seem to be alert to the raid"

You mean we can talk about it?

"It must be a bet... if it's a fight, you have no choice"

Ma, you can never make me trust this one, so you can't bring it into the situation that we can discuss it a hundred percent... is this all luck?

We've been waiting for a while between the thrones... but eventually we heard cutlets and shoes.

Looks like Ange talked properly...... I'm always ready to put out a sealed sword in my body. Sophia also focuses on her body again, entering a position where she can move quickly.

Eventually it was the boy with about fourteen or five dark hair who appeared between the thrones.

"... did you guys talk to Ange?

Pointing sharp black eyes at us - Ange was in a dress, but Boy Croix was in noble clothes. It is based on black, similar to the hair color, and gives a much more intimidating impression.

My face is somewhat neutral...... I could describe it as cuter than good looking and if my back length was a little lower I might have looked about the same age as Ange.

"Oh, yeah. Confirmed, but not hostile to us. Can you figure that out?

To this question, Croix shrugs her shoulders.

"If you are willing to kill, Ange will have been killed. Besides, you seem like outsiders."

"... how do you know?

"For various reasons… first of all the junction of this castle has not been activated"

Conclave? Croix continued as he threw his surprise eyes.

"I guessed right after Ange told me. Are you from a village that exists in the south?

"... Do you know about 'God Hidden'?"

"Whatever."

Nodding Croix. Hmm, we talk fast when this happens.

"The demons are disappearing. And if you notice it, you'll be exploring it."

"It's so quick and helpful."

There's no fighting for now. Good about this.

And then I grasped the status quo... when I tried to open my mouth, Croix started talking first.

"One thing, I must tell you"

"What?"

"I presume this way through the woods is probably looking for a means to get back to where you came from... but in conclusion, you don't have the means to go home at the moment"

No, I ran out... but more than I used the word status quo.

"I can't now. But you have the means to go home, don't you?

Sophia's Question. Though Croix nodded small,

"I have the means. But right now, it's probably impossible to fulfill that condition."

I don't know what you mean...... being silent, Croix told me even more.
