Sword of the Philosopher

Now, I have no choice but to leave it to the Croix and the others to negotiate with the Demon Amel, so me and Sophia are going to spend some time inside the castle where Widels was... the biggest problem is how the Demons see us.

Croix was pushing his heartbeat that something was "okay," but honestly it doesn't feel like peppering it either... So I was working with Sophia to talk to Sanak. Because he was in charge of the Demons in this castle, so I thought it was quick to ask him that.

However, if you seem busy, you can also put it back out again... thinking that way, you stumble across walking down the hall.

Me and Sophia run a little bit closer to Sanak and talk.

"Hi, Sanak."

"... are you Master Luon and Master Sophia? Can I help you?

"Oh. A little about us."

"You think the demons in the castle are wary of you both."

I was read my mind.

"That concern is best. Even if Lord Croix says it's no problem, he can't believe it's a diversion because the race is different."

"If we had nothing to do with the Demon Clan, it would still be better... unfortunately, we are the actors who defeated the Demon King"

"Right, I get it...... shall we talk"

He spearheaded us... in a studio-like room.

"There is more between you and us than there is a demon king."

Thanak approaches the bookshelf with that said.

"It's not easy to fill that ditch... No, in addition to the separation of races, the Demon King has carried out a military invasion... The fact that many people have taken their lives, even if motivated, makes no difference, the ditch will be a daunting task, even if it can be filled"

He took a book in his hand as he spoke.

"Also, no matter how you fill the ditch... it won't be possible for the invaded human side to just walk by"

He came near us and put the book in his hand at the table beside him.

"If it was before the Demon King invaded...... no, I still think it was difficult. Considering the fact that the Demons have been rampant in your world several times."

"Sure."

Drop your eyes on the book on the table. The title is "World Invasion Record".

"This book describes the consequences of past demons invading your world. From the smaller things, to the things that are spoken of in your body like biography."

"I mean, as bad as these books are, the Demons came to our world, so bad."

"Yes... this is a conclusive fact. But please understand that these are not the only ones."

- I remember the sight of me going around town with Croix. There was nothing different about the work of the Demons than human beings.

"To fill each other's grooves... we have to trust each other first or we won't talk"

"But based on the fact that the Demon King invaded, you don't know if the human side would respond to the discussion."

That's what I told you, Sophia.

"I should have recognized that that invasion was more than led by a demonic leader named the Demon King himself… hence the totality of the entire demonic world"

"Exactly... but if we're going to make a settlement, we need to have the guts to talk. But there will be some demons out there who oppose such steps. Yet there must also be rebellion from the human side. Even if the relationship between the two improves… I'm sure it may take hundreds of years instead of years"

"... we're not alive."

"Right."

Me and Sophia breathe at the same time... there's nothing we can do to fix it. Sophia something is going to be a queen in the future, and she's going to have a say in it, but assuming you say, "I'll negotiate with the Demons," the court ministers will all be against it.

As far as we're concerned, we're willing to follow more than Lord Croix says we need both of you.

When he took the book again, he started telling us.

"After you understand that the grooves are fundamentally deep, it's not like we're making it long to fill each other's grooves at the moment, and we can't help it here...... so,. I think I'll make one suggestion to Master Croix as a way to make you feel safe in the castle."

"Proposal?"

"If you spend time with Ange, who is connected to both of you, you will be physically unable to reach even this one... and you will not be able to enter the room where you will spend time, other than Mr. Croix, forming a barrier to certain people... what about around here?"

I see...... the use of Ange for Dashi is subtle, but well that doesn't seem like a problem?

"I don't mind that."

Sophia agrees. I snorted too, and Sanak smiled nicely,

"Now let me suggest that to Master Croix. As a Croix, you can rest assured that Ange will be protected."

That's what he says, then he puts the book back on the shelf.

"... the groove may certainly not be filled. But one thing… there are beings who might be able to break it."

"You mean Croix?

"Yes, I spoke to him with the power of Master Widels... and he felt he stood in a different position from the other demons"

Sanak looked away for a moment. Maybe that's when - you're remembering the sight when you talked to Croix.

"It will not simply be Ange's ability to join hands with the Luons… there is a great premise to protect the people, but through it… I also feel like I have another idea"

"Another thought...?

"We have heard that you have come here because of 'divine concealment' … and that there are others. Maybe it has something to do with the area."

Hmm... I honestly can't tie it together... no, I was observing humans as a croissant and there was something I thought, is that it?

"Whatever it is, the values are probably different from those of the other demons about Master Croix. By doing so, I decided to join hands with Mr. Luon and the others, even if there is a prophecy for him… I think so."

"Well... how do you think the battle moves this time by its values?

"It wouldn't make much sense if we simply fought. But Mr. Croix's values are not likely to be a weapon to the Demons."

Weapon, or... I doubt what that means.

"Oh well. For one thing, Croix is an exception among the demons, is that a good interpretation?

"I was wondering if you'd mind."

- It's clear from Sanak's story that we're working with a different demon clan.

"Can such beings be demon kings? Poor things can cause problems in the demon world."

"I don't even know what will happen. Master Croix himself doesn't seem to be willing to make the demon world unscrupulous, but if he becomes the demon king, what do the other demons think... even his values might just need something to convince him."

"But from his attitude, Mr. Sanak doesn't seem to have anything to betray."

"Right."

- I don't know what we talked about. But I can clearly see that Croix apparently has confidence in Sanak.

The fact that you follow his word for defeating him - Widels - seems to mean that Croix was so good at persuading him. Differences in values… Sanak is right, it could play a major role in future battles -
