Sword of the Philosopher

As soon as he returns to the castle, Croix explains the situation face-to-face with Zemun and Ange.

"Defeat...... but Master Croix says he hasn't given up yet"

"That's right. So I'm going to take the next step."

"Specifically?

To Zemun's inquiry, Croix was temporarily silent.

The location is the meeting room. It's me and Sophia here, Croix and Amel... but I don't think it's the kind of situation where you're being overheard, but still hesitant to talk?

"… there seems to be some confusion"

Zemun points it out. And Croix breathed.

"I'm sorry, I know I have to explain exactly what I'm thinking."

"So that's all you're ready for?"

Croix nods heavily at Zemun's words.

"First of all, including Foscia, the men fleeing the battlefield are instructed to accumulate latent power. Get it moving at the same time as the operation from there...... but it also needs Zemun's power"

"Am I the one who keeps in touch with the hidden? But wouldn't I be alert again, too?

"How about working with Sanak to deal with this? At least Sanak, not Zemun, would be able to stay active in this castle"

"Sure, because we wouldn't be able to quickly govern the former Widels territory without him. You will want to get your attitude in place as soon as possible against the battle against Ehlas, even as Bizell, and he should probably be fine"

"It's a bet, but this must be the best... Zemun, that's -"

"What an order. The solution would be to negotiate with Eluaz, but with my words as well as Master Croix, there would be a possibility of leaning."

Though he was moved left, because he was near the Demon King's side... I guess so.

Croix also responded, "Right," but... for a moment, he saw me. It's seen in the wind somewhere.

I remember looking around the village in Bizell territory.

I came up with one thing back then. That must have been the first thing I threw away as unlikely... Croix's gaze I just showed him.

And the measures I'm going to describe now give me a glimpse of the kind of atmosphere that I... No, I'm involved with Sophia. And Croix said on the battlefield. He said the current developments might lean in the right direction for us.

What that means is - I'm done with the idea, I open my mouth.

"Croix, can I have one?

"Oh."

"What Croix knew about Bizell and about the weapons of war... plus I had an idea, including what I was concerned about"

Pickle, and Croix wander. Zemun, on the other hand, reacted similarly, and Amel suddenly showed his face as to what to say.

"Correct me as soon as I'm wrong. First, about this operation. That is not to say that we simply get the help of Eluaz. If we do that, Croix will give up becoming the Demon King. Are you willing to warn El-Ass about Bizell and act differently?

"Lord Luon?

Zemun frowns. Besides, I...

"Haven't you told Mr. Zemun this?"

"... I didn't expect Mr. Leon to find out as soon as possible."

"I knew it was that kind of hand"

"Master Luon, what does it mean?

I sent my gaze at Sophia's inquiry.

"Croix is going to use his enormous power to win this battle, apart from El Asus."

"Huge battle power......?

"It's a force everyone on this scene is aware of. But it's absurd, an unlikely option in common sense. But Croix is trying to figure it out and pick it out."

Croix's expression hardens. There's no doubt what I'm doing, and I admit what I'm saying is true.

"The problem is, that means. There are various problems...... but there is a reason why we didn't talk this far. If you don't get credit from me or Sophia, this operation won't make it. I think trust has been created in the battle so far, but still, it's a lame way, so I didn't do anything to talk about it before... you know what?"

"I can't see the story..."

says Amel. A puzzling expression on the head.

"I mean, are we talking about using Mr. Luon's help?

"That fits the way I put it. But the nuances are a lot different."

"That's a lot to say."

"I want to check with Croix again before I tell you... with this measure, okay?

Croix nodded heavily at my question.

"That's right. This is the only way to reverse it from here."

"You were thinking ahead of time?

"I hadn't floated since I met Mr. Luon. But I wish I didn't use this to win... Honestly, it's too bad of a beating, and I'm going to wish Mr. Leon and the others a huge burden"

"Right...... but never impossible"

"Lord Luon, what the hell is that?"

Zemun opens his mouth. What is HUGE POWER...... where is such a thing?

"I guess it's more than Croix admitted. It's a simple story. It means you've come up with a hand that can help you out of the demon world."

"... what?

Amel raises her bare voice. At the same time Sophia put her hand on her mouth,

"What if..."

"That's right. Giant power… is the spirit, the dragon, the angel in our world"

- In response to that reference, Zemun and Amel lost their words.

"Such a means, too unscrupulous for anyone to think of. Or in the first place, no one thinks that angels or spirits intervene in a dispute between candidates for the Demon King, and they think it's impossible."

After that, I sharpened my gaze toward Croix.

"I just don't know what would happen with me or Sophia... at least if Bizel ended up being the Demon King, there would be a lot of sacrifices in our world too... so I don't think we should stop Bizel from doing anything, and if we could talk like that, he'd join us in the fight,"

"I see, it is indeed absurd. It's ridiculous and no one can think of it."

Amel with an atmosphere that sounds like she's going to laugh. But it doesn't look like I disagree with you about the operation.

"Whatever the feasibility, it's an interesting one. I'm talking about a war situation that makes me look like an idiot."

"Perhaps the war can be won"

That's how I go on.

"In this battle, I was free to move even if it was me or Sophia, who had just the power to fight the Demon King... In other words, depending on the way you do it, angels and spirits can enter the demon kingdom to fight unnoticed."

"Uh, I mean, crushing weapons of war at once with their power, eliminating Bizell's advantage,"

"That's right. Hopefully we can get some strength."

Croix is still silent... I just wanted to say that it's probably a good way for us to get back to the world, so it's a priority for us to do this.

Also, about how we got back into the world.

"Even if I were to execute the measure"

And now Sophia starts talking.

"I can't do it unless we can go back to our original world. About that, are you okay?

"It's..."

"I have a plan, don't I?

I'll tell you first. And Croix's mouth stopped completely.
