Sword of the Philosopher

Leese says she's staying at the castle, and she thinks this is going to stay... etc., that Sophia is coming and talking.

"So, what did Reese say to Sophia?

"Well, check your strength first, then judge me."

Exactly like you didn't say "I'll definitely accompany you," but I know you didn't even ask me if I persuaded you because Sophia looks in trouble.

"At first I stopped talking about Sister Reese..."

"... sister?

Leaning his neck, Sophia raised her voice, "Ah,"

"Eh, because I admired you like a sister at my age..."

"I see. So, Reese's personality sounds as compelling as Sophia's"

"... likewise, what does that mean?

She asks if she's hooked. So I...

"No, like how I persuaded King Claudius when I escaped the castle, or how when I did a trial in the woods, I would never let him admit it with a sword screen that I wouldn't even say existed"

"Well... it's true that you do have a strong will to accomplish what you think once."

Thinking things are like saying,

"Master Luon, do you think things should be said?

"... you've been getting what I think lately"

"That's an achievement of our journey together. I mean, I'm kind of anticipating that now."

"I have a sense of stubbornness."

"... that, somewhat"

An understated tone. After thinking you're kind of cute, I decide to come back to it.

"Uh, yeah, okay... so, I'm gonna change the story, but actually, I got a meeting from Amel asking you to hire me"

"Mr. Amel did? He wants to join the organization he's going to set up in the future?

"Sounds like that. So I've been suggesting a role for people who come here to see if they can be a force of war."

"You didn't snort on the spot."

"It seems serious about the battle side, so it doesn't actually seem like a problem in that way... but I thought I'd talk to Croix too before I decide"

"That one... it does annoy me a lot, but what I'm doing is just straight to my beliefs, so can I appreciate honesty"

"Sounds like things are really saying... the way they were done is unscrupulous, but they never bothered me in the negotiations, and as for me personally, Amel is a Demon King candidate and makes me a fighter... I think so, so I feel like I could join in."

There is no backdrop in good or bad ways, so there is no denying the possibility of bringing troubles in... but there will also be a need to interact with the Demon Realm side in the future when Croix becomes the Demon King. I also feel that Amel seems somewhat better than Croix's men as its coordinator. It just might hurt Croix's stomach better though.

"I am at your discretion, Master Luon."

"Okay. Then I'll talk to Croix. He might be deciding what to do with Amel in his head."

That's why we're done talking. Sophia was to return to her room.

So, I'll go and see Croix right away and talk to her. The location is the rooms in the castle. Looks like it's over for the strategy meeting, and I'll talk to you about Amel.

"... Hmm, I would certainly be able to trust you to some extent about the fight. Somewhat insipid...... you will want to fight strong enemies, but for that you should also follow the instructions honestly. I can control my powers, and I'm not gonna lie to you again. I think you can even tame the position of Demon Clan."

"I also thought I would ask Amel for a liaison role with the demon world..."

"Please don't."

That was all. Yeah, I know what you're trying to say.

"However, using my men... it is obvious that there is a shortage of talent to rebuild the demonic world, and in doing so, there will be even fewer people..."

"I'll try to control this one as much as I can..."

"Yeah, right."

It's understandable that Croix will get hooked because of everything.

"Ma, fine. It's all since I became the Demon King. And I think Amel's right to measure her strength."

"You call it proper..."

"Mr. Leon is going to fight an even more powerful opponent. When gathering such talent, wouldn't it be enough to defeat Amel to become a force of war?

... she's probably quite strong even in the Demon Nation, having gone as far as being a Demon King candidate. But 'God' is much stronger than this. Towards that - it would certainly be a constant indicator.

"I don't think we need to defeat Amel right now. But sooner or later, you don't want more than one person working together, more than enough skill to do things like that? Using Aamel's strength to gather power is reasonable given Mr. Leon's enemies."

... Well, the roots seem like good people, and with the exception of the desire to "fight" it's basically an atmosphere that follows this mention... I probably don't have an obsession with status among the Demon King candidates I currently have left, and I think they're talented and useful.

Hmm, you want me to hook you up with Reese and the other people I called...? After all I've thought about, for once, I...

"I decided to consider the Battle of the Demon Realm and so on whether to hire Amel as a book, so let's first engage with the faces that are coming and do a lot of things."

"Right. As for you, I've received the information you need from Amel, so you can leave it at your disposal."

"Did you have a strategy?

"Not yet, but I remember the information on Amel's territory, so I can set up an operation here. If you need anything, I'll ask you every time."

"Amel and I don't want an ops meeting anymore."

"No comment."

... Probably just insisted on something "I'll be on the front line". That didn't even bring the whole story together.

Let's not pry deeply... the policy is set so I leave the room where Croix is and move to talk to Amel... but that's when I ran into Eina.

"Oh, Lord Luon. I was looking for you."

"What's up?

"I hear people are coming to the lab. When we entered the castle, they gave us the name of Lord Luon."

"Oh, that's who I was requesting... I was actually anxious to grab it..."

"Perhaps the castle side did its best to find it"

... I feel like I'm getting help from the castle side with some amazing momentum. Or does this feel like "work for me, so work for me too"?

With that in mind, Eina grinned,

"I don't think you have to worry about that. Nevertheless, I find it difficult to have just zero political work."

"... it must be true that we have to step into something social as we fight in the future, and I guess we should keep our minds open"

make up your mind...... thinking about it. Eina said

"I'll follow you as best I can"

"Thank you...... well, then I'll pick up the person who came. If Eina would like to come see me, too."

"Who do I know, too?

"Oh, I know him well."

Leave a word and I'll head to the lab. I ran into Amel along the way,

"It was just fine. We need to talk later, okay?

"Are we talking about work? I don't mind."

Mounting the promise, I went to the lab - where the face I saw was waiting.

"Sorry to call you so suddenly."

Enter the room as I tell you. In contrast, the other person - came closer with a grin.
