Sword of the Philosopher
First Person
Well, there are a lot of challenges when it comes to starting an organization... the most important of which would be funding. There will be ways to use the budget of the Kingdom of Barks, but for the time being I have come to the conclusion that I will use the tools, materials, etc. in my possession and deposited with the Garc in order to avoid rebellion.
Because of the usefulness of the material itself, I'm worried about whether to use it or redeem it... It would be nice to talk about it in the future.
As for the personnel aspect, it's just not possible overnight, so it's going to take me a while to organize… At this stage, I decided to give a voice to the members who are likely to participate in this battle in the demonic world.
Along with that, I waited for a few days to see someone who was likely to participate in the research or something in the future and the person appeared.
"Mr. Luon."
- Richard, you've come a long way.
In the large, idle hall, I tell him his name and approach him.
He was the one who spoke up as soon as possible. Even so, not as combat personnel, but as fellows who will become essential in the future in the battle against 'God'.
"Did you hear what happened?
"Approximately. You've been in a lot of trouble since you broke up with me."
I respond to that opinion with a bitter smile... well, it is true.
"So, I'm not involved in the Battle of the Demonic Realm, but I'll get ready for the battle to come sooner or later... So, okay?
"Oh. Even so, I have no idea what to do in vague circumstances..."
"Investigate from first things about 'God', I guess. Technological developments that can counteract it, etc. I'll give it a shot because it's floating."
He seemed to think a lot of things after he broke up with us.
"What do you say after you call me like this, is that a good thing? Looks like we had something to do when we broke up."
"It's just a story that needs to be studied in parallel. Plus we can hear about spirits as well as angels and such here. Don't hesitate to come here."
If that's the case, I appreciate it... though, I look around the hall,
"As you can see, we still have no facilities, no people. As for the equipment, you can redeem the materials in my possession and get them all together, but it's gonna take a while for me to get a complete attitude."
"He said he would join hands with the Spirit when he broke up, but he was originally going to try and make mistakes on his own. The place just changed. Besides, if there are going to be more people in the future, I'd appreciate it."
"Oh well... I don't know how long this organization will last, nice to meet you"
"Oh... so I hope I have a room or something if possible because it's less but I also have luggage"
"It's okay there. I'll show you."
"... Speaking of which, what was Mr. Luon doing in this place all by himself?
I smiled bitterly at the question. I was just sitting in the hall until he came.
"Truth be told, I don't have anything to do with this either... no, I do have one, but I was just waiting for it now."
"I see... are people coming soon?
"I plan on doing that. Even so, a lot of them would be combatants. There's a battle in the demon world now."
"Well, let's get ready for research and stuff."
- That's how he leads me to the room while we have a conversation, and I go back to the hall once. It's a sign that I'm going to be here today or so, like Richard.
While thinking about that, a further person appears in the hall.
"... it looks like no one is here yet"
Humans, or angels... characterised by semi-long blue hair and a child's face... are Lilito, near Devals.
"One fellow just arrived... uh, an angel sent on the orders of Devals, is that okay?
"Right. We are counting on backward support for combat and research support."
Beautifully thankful. Hmm, both combat studies?
"And I'm the one who communicates with the heavens."
"I see...... but you don't have a problem without Lilito? So it was near Devals, and he's going to have a hard time."
"I'm done taking over the job, so it's okay. Though it will be hard for a while."
That's why things are changing so much, so it's gonna be tough... thank you Devals for the measure.
"Okay. Even so, there's nothing in particular to do at this stage. If there is, it's like combat training."
"I just can't do it either with Leon's hands...... by the way, what about Princess Sophia?
"I'm taking my time in the castle's own room. It's like I'd really like to welcome people here to visit, but it's the result of the great guys asking me to stay in the castle for the first time."
King Claudius also said to me, "I'll keep my hands set so I can go to the demonic world," so I'm not so worried about Sophia.
"That's why I think I'll be free for a little while -"
And when he spoke, the door of the hall opened, and Eina appeared.
"Lord Luon... and you..."
"Long time no see, Eina"
"Angel Lilito...... Hi"
Interpret and Eina responds. Here I have one question.
"Eina, what's going on? I thought you were escorting Sophia.
"Someone came to greet me today, and Sophia instructed me to greet him."
"Greeting? Someone I don't know?
"Oh, Lord Luon is not familiar."
"By the way, that person..."
"He was as helpful as possible in the battle of the demons."
... from Eina's tone, it kind of sounds like a great guy though.
"The person..."
When I tried to ask, there was a fluttering, butterfly-like presence from the open door... is that Spirit Silf?
"Raifin, are you here?
"Yes, bring the Spirit and help us."
Quickly - Sylph's queen Raefin showed up from the entrance.
"I can no longer contract with Master Sophia, but I will cooperate with you this time."
"As for this one, it's reliable... what about the other spirits?
"They're moving in the same direction as I do about Norm. I don't know about Undine or Salamander yet, but I think we're probably moving on in the direction of cooperating"
As for the Spirit, I'm going to confirm one thing, thinking it's an atmosphere where you're going to cooperate for the first time.
"Raifin, what role do the spirits play in this battle?
"I've also discussed this with Master Croix, but you're mainly covering weapons destruction. Master Gark and others can attack alone, but I'm worried that we're the only spirits, and I think it would be desirable to fight alongside each other in destroying weapons."
After that, Raifin just came up with a few ideas,
"Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be much of a temper when it comes to the demonic world... but it's more dangerous for the spirits to move alone than the other demons are."
"Sure you are... If so, are the spindles of weapon destruction the human side and the angels? As for the dragon... honestly, I don't know how much cooperation you'll give me."
Anastasia said, "I'll take care of it," and I know the emperor... but that's after the civil unrest over there, and it's gonna be tough.
"It's only after the members who go to the demonic world decide what attitude to take. For one thing, can the spirits help Richard do it?
"That one's coming, too. Okay."
"Gark also said he could use a hand if Richard started doing a lot of things"
"Um, I understand."
A voice sounds in my head...... and at that time I heard footsteps specific to my feet.
It sounded like a knight would emit, so I thought it was someone who came to get Eina... and it was an unfamiliar person who showed up in the hall.
