Sword of the Philosopher

Croix was completely silent on my words... I guess that's because I could guess what this is a plan to say.

"... Mr. Luon, are you-"

"I was just guessing. But apparently, it's a hit."

I give Zemun my gaze. The person in question has a hard look. Have you guessed this one?

In a situation where Amel and Sophia are silent, I ask Croix.

"Before you touch the core, let me confirm one thing... if you want the help of angels and spirits, you need to bring us back to the original world. The traditional explanation was that if Croix didn't become the Demon King, it would be difficult."

"... oh yeah"

"But if the speculation I think is true, it flips... can I interpret it that way?

"At least it's true that the 'Guardian', close to the Demon King, moves"

"Okay... I'll ask you one last time"

I put a beat down,

"I mean, Croix is a standing Demon tribe like the 'Guardian' moves...... is it the Demon King's, son or something?

- That's exactly what you couldn't have predicted about the inquiry, Emel, and Sophia took a breath too.

At the same time, I think... given the current state of the demon kingdom, I don't think that any other demon tribe would be tempted even if Croix were the son of the demon king. Isn't that why he hid it and tried to be the Demon King with his strength...

"... oh yeah"

Cut the silence, Croix answers.

"Me and Ange are the children of the Demon King."

"Given his age, was he sealed just like the Demon King?

"That's right. I woke up recently."

"How did it go -"

"I'll talk to you soon about that."

Zemun breaks in. Sometimes I deviate from the main point of the story, but there is something... maybe a nasty reason.

"Your Majesty's will, too, on the point where I have moved left. Follow the instructions, protect the sealed croissants and wake them when the time comes."

I mean, you were tasked with protecting the Croix and the others.

"Exactly."

"Why not publish that fact?

This question came from Amel.

"If you call yourself the son of the Demon King, you won't have to fight?

"Then the demon world could get worse"

So Croix argued.

"I wouldn't be convinced of Bizel's face about the King's throne because I'm the son of the Demon King. If you suck, there will be a rebellion to put me down... and it will be a lot more miserable than the battle we have now"

Croix's mouth, who said so, laughed mockingly.

"Plus, if I had become the Demon King with no power whatsoever, I could have been a puppet... there would have been someone out there trying to use me at the time I was exposed that I was. In some cases, Ange could have reached out."

"I see. Well, I understand the situation."

That's what Amel said, and how convinced she was once.

"So, since you're the son of the Demon King, you think you can bring Mr. Leon and the others back to their original world?

"I have been given various powers at once. One of the things you can do is talk to the guardian at the castle, and with my authority, you can open the door."

... I guess the reason I haven't talked about it before is because I just couldn't tell you the fact that I'm the son of the Demon King.

This is a natural story. Whatever. Me and Sophia are the ones who took the Demon King. I am so determined that I don't even have to ask what I think of the Demon King.

"... Croix, I'm sure."

So I ask him.

"Can't you resist working with us?

"It's the same as the first time I told you I was going to put my hands together. I'm not like my father."

It was a resolute statement.

"My father threw himself into that battle for a reason... no matter, I'm not going to tell you to admit to ravaging Mr. Luon and his continent for a reason, etc. Based on those facts, I'm willing to negotiate."

"In some cases, won't it be erased?

"To tell you the truth, I just wanted to ask Mr. Leon and the others for help."

Croix shrugging his shoulders... because of his position as the son of the Demon King, he decided to join hands with us but couldn't tell the truth...?

As far as he's concerned, he shouldn't want us to cooperate. I'm sure he wanted me and Sophia to work together to become the Demon King and talk about things with our world and the Demon World again.

No, maybe I was thinking of getting help before that. It's

"... were you thinking of using a similar measure about Ehlas?

On further inquiry, Croix nodded small.

"I was also thinking about those hands. That is where the difference is with Ehlas, who gives priority to peace. He himself, in the end, thinks only of protecting his countrymen. But I'm a little different. Discuss with those outside the demon world and make the demon world better… that was my breakthrough."

"I see..."

"Joining hands with Mr. Luon and the others would be a heretical idea for the Demons in itself... but I will do it. I wanted to show that I could do it and talk to Mr. Leon and the others properly."

"You mean you tried to prove it in action and get help... but well, your plans are vastly crazy"

"Right. I don't have many choices left."

Croix looked to me and Sophia,

"... even though there's still a chance that I can be the Demon King, it's true that it's lower. I don't know if I can be recognized by my countrymen."

"Even if we defeat Bizel, Eluas is going to be the Demon King."

"Well... as far as I'm concerned, in his reign, I'm going to do what I can... I didn't give up being the Demon King, but I'm also looking at how that ends"

"Even when those possibilities increase, when we go out into the world and negotiate,"

"Oh... we can't just leave Bizel alone in the wild"

It was a resolute tone.

In some cases, the Demons will die in large numbers... which would mean that they should take precedence over whether they can become Demon Kings to prevent it.

"... as an operation, what are we going to do?

"First tell Eluaz to avoid fighting Bizel and buy me some time. In the meantime, go outside the demon world with Mr. Leon and negotiate. Bring your allies and defeat Bizell."

"Don't fall into a critical situation if you continue to negotiate even one."

"Oh. I think I can talk to Eluaz properly first. But negotiating outside the demon world is quite a bad bet to be honest."

But I have to...... I can read that feeling from my expression.

"Sophia and I are the intermediaries in that negotiation."

"... you would find it odd to say this in the position of son of the Demon King"

Croix - bows his head.

"But please... this is all I can think of to keep the people from making any more sacrifices to the demons."

... Situationally, me and Sophia don't have enough hands to stop Bizell's atrocities. War weapons destruction alone has the power to say what's wrong with ambushing from location identification.

I think Croix is right because a single war would still have worked it out, but we're moving to a totally massive war... Okay.

"Sophia, what do you think"

"... there are parts of you that are not emotionally convinced. But you can never let Bizel go wild."

Sure. If we put him in the Demon King, we could have the same tragedy as our predecessors.

"... ok. Croix, for once, we'll work together. But we don't know if we're gonna succeed."

"I know."

"And about that after the negotiations were successful. People in the demonic realm..."

"I'll do whatever I can"

"Then fine... then let's act quickly"

Croix nodded at my words - a new operation has begun.
