Sword of the Philosopher

At the end of the conversation, we go back to the room where Ange is. So after Croix briefed her on us,

"I want you two to use Ange's abilities"

"Yeah, okay"

When she replied, she closed her eyes. And what arose was pale magic...... as surrounding her, particles of light appear.

"One thing in return for cooperating… Ask me anything"

... Croix seems to have absolute confidence in Ange's power, but how about the more effective it is at fulfilling it?

Well, why don't you ask me a question? But I don't know what to ask.

"Okay, from me"

That's what I told Sophia to come forward.

"Tell me - how do we get the weapons that unite the powers of the Demon Nation?

About the original purpose, huh? Now if you say, "If Croix becomes king, you can accomplish it," you'll be damned.

"- For the purpose, all you have to do is step into the castle of the Demon King"

A different hard voice than before. It's like a different being is riding and talking.

So, as for the content of the response... um, this is...

"If I'm going to be the Demon King, there's got to be an answer to that."

Croix captures it.

"But it's not, we go into the castle of the demon king... which would mean that the castle has its purpose"

"I mean, you think the castle already has the weapons we want?

"Or maybe that's what happens when you go to the castle..."

Hmm, well, we're talking about making Croix the Demon King, so we're inevitably going to the Demon King's Castle... right?

"What's that demon king's castle?

"It is a castle where the Demon King lived, as the name suggests, which exists in the center of the demonic world. That's where the sealed place will be."

"... was the Demon King sealed in the demon kingdom?

"More precisely, he said the demon king lured the wise man into the form, but it turned out to be sealed. Only the Demon King knows the details. All my men and family were gone by then."

It would be information I don't even want you to pass on as Demon King, and is this natural?

"- Speaking of which, I was wondering"

Sophia opened her mouth to the lid.

"You call yourself the Demon King, too, but what's your name, etc?

"I think it probably happened. But the demon king didn't name it directly, and the existence that knows his name has disappeared in the battle against the wise."

... Is there any reason?

"Those who are intoxicated by the Demon King call him His Majesty. I'm calling myself the Demon King because I've been somewhat distant, and I've never met him in person."

"Really, okay...... Dear Luon, do you have any questions for Ange?

"Right..."

Then don't come back.

"... how do I find out about the power to sleep deep beneath the ground, such as who 'God' is?

Exactly. There's no answer to this - I thought so.

"- You need to meet someone to get information about 'God'"

... Huh?

"The place where the person is located is the continent of Lisfana"

"Hey, we've got a lot of specific place names."

"In fact, if we go there, we'll get to the answer."

"... is that true?

"You suspect?

Honestly, there are some half-hearted aspects to Ange's abilities over here... I'm just curious about the continent of Lisjuana.

That continental name was the scene of the latest edition of The Elders Sword in the world before I was reincarnated. Unfortunately I'm dead and I couldn't play the latest one... but the story was written in an interview article or something saying that it was a complete trilogy following the fourth, Eden of Dragons, and the world after the world collapsed again... a story that led to the first.

Although the existence of "God" makes the causal relationship between the game and this world all sorts of complicated... if the game is as muscular as it sounds, the events that occur in this latest book can make the path to world collapse.

Maybe the latest book was a story where you could find out something about 'God'... from that kind of speculation, maybe Ange's prophecy is right.

And Ange will be silent...... Hmm, can you not even tell me what kind of person he is?

"... ok. Let me give you a quick reference."

In response to Croix's words, I decided to change my mind.

"It's our next policy... but we want to make our return a priority. But as it stands, that's the hardest part... That's fine, right?

"Definitely with that perception"

"Then Croix will work hard to be the Demon King... First, what?

"I want to join the minister. The reality is that we don't even know the latest state of the demonic world. We have to be able to fight first."

"That's a fundamental story... so you're a minister"

"That's right. Those who rely on it should be fleeing the castle and moving around a lot elsewhere. Join that minister first"

"Can we leave tomorrow?

"Oh."

The conversation is over, and me and Sophia are going to rest in the right room. But before that, it's an ops meeting.

"I didn't expect to reach the demonic realm..."

Sofia says it again. Yeah, I'm surprised, too.

"I'd like to go home soon, but that doesn't seem to be the way to go"

"Anyway, hand in hand with Mr. Croix, right... but will you be okay?

"You suspect Croix?

"Seems to be somewhat hooked on being a demon...... sorry"

No, her reaction is natural. It is decided bewilderingly that the demonic tribe, who has also been ravaged by their own country, will be told to get along soon.

"This time, it is essential to work hand in hand with the Demons to say what is wrong with returning. I understand that..."

"I know how you feel. I'm complicated inside too... and it's not been a day since I met Croix. You can't trust me right away."

I think this is an unrelated part of the Demon race... and it is also true that the most important way to break the situation is to have a cooperative relationship with the Demon race.

"We heard the story from Croix, but we know very little about the demonic world. So let's act with him for a while and deal with it every time something bad happens."

"Right......"

Is this the place to decide for the first time?

"How soon can we go home..."

"That's right. I just don't know what's going on, so I can't tell you how long it's going to take."

Yeah, we're talking about turning Croix into a demon king anyway... that's why we need to unify a crowd of ambitious demons.

"Is this possible in the first place...?

"I don't know… if we can stand around in full, it seems like a good way to take down the Demons from one end to the other."

It's unscrupulous, but is there a way for us to get home early... me and Sophia have the power to just take on the Demon King. Crowded demonic realm, but I don't think there are any beings with more power than demon kings as far as Croix is concerned.

"Croix was talking about what we could do if we were active... and it's going to change depending on what we do."

"On the other hand, if you work hard, that's all you get."

Well, that's the thing.

"Then let's do everything we can to get home tomorrow"

"Right. So let's take the day off."

"Yes."

- Thus, the tumultuous day ended. I decided to fight in the demon world even if I didn't want to... but Sophia and I would be fine - thinking that way, I was going to sleep.
