Sword of the Philosopher

I was supposed to sleep comfortably and soothingly in a building built by angels... and the change happened because...

"... hmm?

I wake up and look around. Is it somewhat bright outside the window and now a proposed arrangement such as before dawn?

Not that I didn't sleep, but I slept well in bed and didn't even remember dreaming...... what is it?

"What...?

Drift your gaze. So I noticed that the window... was in the direction of the coast where we landed, but something came from...

Lord Luon, have you noticed?

Garc's voice echoed in his head on the lid. So, that tone,

"Was there anything unusual?

"Hmm, didn't you guess?

"Oh, I didn't wake up determined to be anything strange..."

'Right. Whatever it is, you better get moving. "

"What's going on?

Gark said a word to the inquiry.

"- A phantom beastly being is landing on this island"

"Aren't you related to Phantom Beast Terra?

"I'm killing the signs, so I don't know the details"

Answer that you don't know Garc...... Now, what do you do?

"Are you currently on the coast?

"Uhm. I haven't been inland yet"

"You seem to have time. Then..."

And here's the sound of a knock. When I reply, the door opens and Devals looks like him.

"Oh, were you awake?"

Looks like there's been an anomaly.

"Exactly. I'll wake you all up. Get ready."

- Then I'll do my homework and go to the entrance. Sophia's already waiting, she's a nervous face.

(v) From there all gather together in about minutes, and Devals opens his mouth.

"Well, phantom beasts are currently appearing on the coastline. From what I've seen on the far roll, he looks like a wolf... most likely under Lug the phantom beast"

"I thought you were going to decide to stay still."

Sophia opens her mouth this time as I respond with my head on.

"Sounds like you're not here to discuss it, because it's faster than you can call it early morning."

"I guess. Mr. Devals, how are things around here?

"Sounds like he's landing with as many signs and sounds as he can, so well it won't be a moderate development"

"... is this the trial?

It was Liese who raised the question. But Devals is negative.

"According to Phantom Beast Terra, this is likely an irregular development, as it was meant to proceed in a proper presence"

"Have you been in touch with Terra, the phantom beast at heart?

"I know where he is, but it's tough to get in touch with him right away. Whatever you think, it's faster for phantom beasts on the coastline to get here."

"... the question is why the phantom beast Lug is doing this,"

Next I open my mouth.

"The compromise with us was in such a way as to leave it to Terra, the phantom beast... I didn't like it when I heard the discussion, so I went out to exercise my powers, and so on, I can guess..."

"There's no way to figure out why here. Whatever's important here is to make sure the crisis is imminent."

Devals looks around the entrance once.

"I know, but this building is so brittle than it looks, it's impossible to fight a cage castle. We have reinforced it in preparation for a long stay, but it is not structured to withstand the battle, and there is no respite for doing so now. If it's a battle, I'm sure tomorrow's bed will be gone, so if I can, I just want to leave here and fight."

"Strike out on the coastline and fight, huh?

"That's the only way. Now it looks like we're waiting until we get there, and we have a decision to make."

"Even so, it's like you don't have a real choice."

It was Alto who mentioned it. And as Eina tunes in,

"Right...... I just have concerns. It's an unavoidable fact to be in battle, but if this one breaks out here, there's a chance that the discussion with the phantom beast won't come together"

"What do you mean?

As Caln leaned back and listened, Eina looked back at her,

"Let's say, for example, that Lug the phantom beast moved to worry about and drive us back to the outside world, starting with us humans... if we intercept here, we risk going through even if Lug claims to have been attacked by us because there are no third parties"

"Even if Mirage Beast Terra trusts these words,"

And that's where I started talking to Amel.

"There will come out those who trust and support the words of the phantom beast Lug. If our opinions are broken, we could even be considered troublemakers."

"You have one solution to this."

And now it's me.

"Third-party...... in this case, call Fantasy Beast Terra to have the status quo summarized. Assuming this is part of the trial, I hope that clears it up. The question is, how long until we get in touch?"

We've already sent word to Terra the Phantom Beast.

Devals answers my mention.

"It moved out at the stage of detecting the anomaly. Now we're at sea, and fortunately, there's no attack from the enemy, so we're not going to be able to contact them."

"How much time?

"It's about a few hours each way at full speed... but we need some time before it takes exactly half a day to keep our enemies alert"

"From now on, should we think about it taking about noon to suck?

"Right."

"Then there's only one thing to do."

That is...

"Third party...... get in touch with Phantom Beast Terra to get things sorted out. The enemy won't wait for me in the meantime, though. We need to make it to noon."

"Endurance battle."

Sophia says. It's kind of an unusual fight, but I wouldn't have a choice.

Although blowing everything up is not an option... I even took it to a form where I could talk to the phantom beast a lot. I don't want to waste this.

"I don't know what a phantom beast named Lug is thinking, but we need to let the other phantoms know exactly what we have to do anyway...... so let's do our best. Just seems like there's gonna be time for an ops meeting? What do you say, Mr. Devals?

"You're still on the coastline...... still a sign of waiting until the power of battle arrives. Maybe attack with dawn or something."

You mean the sun rises and attacks instead of night raids... there's got to be a better way to get rid of us...

"Ma, no. Anyway, now let's just think about carrying out the operation. The reason Lug the phantom beast took action is second to none."

That's why we start discussing - a completely different flow than we imagined, but it was the dawn of a new battle.
