Sword of the Philosopher

Means of communication

Sophia and Liese, who were in the lead, kneel first under the stairs in front of the throne. And we did the same thing again.

"Thank you for inviting me."

"Welcome, you've come so well... thank you is enough. Welcome, you two."

The sound of Sophia and Reese moving. When I look up, they were up, so I get up again, too.

"Let's introduce ourselves first. My name is Baroto-Lardia-Liebait. He who is currently in charge of this country and who will retain this throne."

The King's figure, in addition to his white based coat of law, is between 40 and 50 years old... considering the hair color with mixed gray hair but noticeable black? The stern face clearly tells the story that, as king, he has only the qualities to bear the kingdom, and his majesty wraps it all up between the thrones.

Such a king changes his gaze after making a statement to us first. I'm the one who looked at it.

"Hero...... Was it Luon-Maddin"

"Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you"

"Same here... Hmm, those in this room, including the presence of Princess Lieseleite... all the warriors have some strong signs. Yes... the atmosphere that has thrived through so many battles"

Not only because of the Demon King, but because he traveled across different continents... there are knights and stuff, though, and this is about half a compliment?

"Well, as far as we're concerned, I don't want it to end with this visit. Even though the continent is away, I want to continue to interact. In addition to the messengers sent here, the princesses' visit… I am convinced it is meant to make that interaction a firm one"

"Yes, we also want to walk with and be taught by the Holy Kingdom of Liebait. This is the kingdom of Barks. So if you think of it as the general thrust of the kingdom of Gildine."

"Hmm, given our track record of removing threats such as the Demon King, we may rather be taught… there will be many things missing in each country. I'm hoping we can have a good discussion, like burying it"

- With such an exchange, the sight ends. I'm not ostensibly hostile. The look on the faces of the heavy ministers who surrounded us was meant to welcome guests, and there didn't seem to be such an atmosphere as to harm this one.

Well, there's no certainty, so we can't be alarmed... but we're then led to the room where Jufa stays. It's a private room, a lot bigger to welcome guests.

Shortly after being guided, Jufa told me that "dinner is scheduled for a feast". I don't know what format it is, but I think I'll be able to slow it down until time comes.

"Well, and"

I turn my shoulders gently before calling Yuno, who is nostalgic.

"Don't you dare, you can leave, okay?

"That's right... but it's not good if you act alone and they find you, is it?

"It's been notified that there's going to be a little angel on this side, but I'm pretty sure you don't know how well known... speaking of which, the king didn't mention Yuno for the first time. Maybe we'll talk during the feast."

"You should wait till then."

... That's a good idea. I thought if I took off the cramped situation, I would do it on my own.

And it seems that Yuno read my thoughts like that,

"You thought you were gonna fly somewhere soon, didn't you?

"Right."

"Quick answer... I don't know what else to do. It's an important operation, and I won't stand in your way. Because I'm in the organization and I can see that we're all desperate to be active"

"... right"

There seems to be a lot to think of as her.

From there, I'll start work first. Before that though, check the condition of the room. Watch the furniture and the like all the way. Then Yuno,

"What are you doing?

"Exploring something that possesses magic… an early story is to see if this place is being watched"

"It's friendly over there, and I don't think you're gonna do that,"

"I hope you think it's just in case. Besides, even if the king wants to be friendly... there's no chance that the force that flies the flag against the king is working on something."

"Who doesn't like the king?

"That's right. Whatever reign there is, there will always be people who deny it."

I checked the whole room, but nothing abnormal. Except if there's something we can't grasp... it's researched beforehand that magic technology on this continent is quite similar to that on our continent. So if you need anything, you should be able to notice this one too.

After a few checks to keep in mind, I finally get to the point. Use Yuno to communicate with the side of the Kingdom of Barks. Don't be alarmed, because the child Garc isn't with you this time... establishing contact is a top priority.

I'll let Yuno gather his magic. I've been told beforehand how to do it, so you just have to grasp it. Yuno, on the other hand, remains still floating in space. Looks like you're gonna wait till I'm done with my work.

Eventually... my magic touched something. No, I didn't actually hit things, but that's close if you're going to describe it.

Yeah, I hear the connection's done. Thus,

"... Garc"

"Um, I can hear you."

I heard voices clearly. Success.

This is Royal Castle.

'Sounds like things are going well. Was there anything suspicious?

"No, not at all. There's just no one who's openly hostile to us... there's going to be a dinner party tonight, so I guess it depends."

'Okay. This one is no different, by the way. Don't worry, the research itself is going on.'

"No problems with members of the organization, either?

"Work is progressing, too."

"If so, you mean things are going well here and there... please contact me as soon as you need anything"

"Of course."

Shut down communication. If you talk too long, you'll be suspicious because the magic stays. For one thing, I knew there was no problem, so that's a harvest.

"Yeah, we're done doing this, and we're supposed to be off till dinner."

"You don't walk in the castle?

"Exactly if you suddenly walk around the castle on the first day of your visit, you'll be suspicious. You should let the other side guide you in the castle, town, etc, and I'll suggest you from the other side... there's no turn for me because Sofia will take the political story, but there's a lot to do. Anyway, we're gonna be busy."
