Sword of the Philosopher

The lights shine brilliantly on the edge of the town's boulevard... we reached the castle gate. Even so, it doesn't exactly mean we're going outside, and it feels like we've stepped into a spot with no light near the castle gate.

There are naturally gatekeepers near the castle gate, but they avoid the lights so that they cannot be found. Looking at the town lights from a little distance,

"... Speaking of"

To the lid, Emena raises her voice.

"If you go a little further, there's a park. There are lights there, too."

"There's a little light in the alley, and there's not much darkness."

Leese goes on to state. Certainly there are lights on the side roads as well where I say in my previous life. I'm not exactly covering everything on the road with that light... but I'm not invulnerable to walking.

"Can I go to the park?

"Yes, I don't mind. It's just that it's been a little while since we walked down the boulevard, so maybe we can't afford that much."

It's bad to have the Einas and others keep deluding you... and Princess Emena would be inconvenient if she stayed out too long. Mentioning the area, he replies, "I'm fine"... but it's not a good idea to stay too long.

It's time to get to the park in a way that Emena leads. The trees were planted, in which magical lights without heat lit up the park.

It's just like playthings, but it's got something like a promenade in place. There's no sign of people around, and even with the downtown area bustling, it seems like we're the only ones coming here.

"... Well"

Reese looked at the lights,

"The park at night is pretty creepy...... Ena, thanks. The experience was worth more than anything else."

"If you say so, it was worth showing you this way"

"Yeah... so, just one more thing, I need to ask you"

"To me, is it?

"Yes."

Finally...... as for Emena's attitude, it's not that hard. So there's a possibility that it's okay to go deep.

"Well, I was dealing with you... just a little bit, I felt uncomfortable"

To that word, Emena's body bounces with a piqun.

"Oh, don't get me wrong. I appreciate your guidance, and most importantly, it conveys that you cared about us... not that your escort was bad or anything. I am very grateful that you have thus taken off the castle and guided me."

"So... what?

"Well, something different from us… I was wondering if you might be in trouble."

Emena is silent. The opposing Liese goes further by words.

"To be honest, the suggestion to get out of the castle this way was in itself futile and original. Still, you took it on with pleasure... but in the process, you were shady. I thought maybe you had something on your mind that led us here."

"It's..."

"You don't have to tell me anything. However, I don't know... I was able to talk to you so much that I was wondering if you could talk to me if you had any problems. It's not even a day since we met, but we thought we could at least get close enough to get into each other's moods. Sometimes, from the position of princess, you won't be able to speak to your body or your subordinates. As the same princess, I thought it would be nice to talk to you about things."

And that's where Reese saw me.

"It's just that Luon seems to think a little differently."

Are you going to point it at me here... I might be better suited to tell a dark story behind you than from Reese.

I had some anxiety about what would happen... but I had to do more than just shake it from Leese.

"Right... this is mixed up with my guess, and if you're saying it's wrong, deny it. Because I might just be reading it."

Forward with the tone back to normal,

"Ever since we first met, there has been shade in the atmosphere somewhere... and I felt it especially strongly in it when you talked about one thing leaving the castle"

Emena looks at me and she looks a little nervous.

"So well, I'm cheap... on that journey, aren't you afraid something will happen? I don't know if that's a dangerous thing... but it's definitely not a good thing for you"

"It's..."

"This country is peaceful, and due to technological developments, there is strong support for the royal family. So well, I don't think there are people who do you harm... but seeing the princess atmosphere made me think so somehow. That may be the result of the battle with the Demon King and others, which has allowed us to be agile in detecting negative feelings towards people"

Actually, I just knew it in the scenario... because as for her, I can only be confused if she hears that I know what's going on here.

There was no way to turn to prophecy... but there are many things that make me wonder why I was making such prophecies. Therefore, a slightly euphemistic expression was used.

As for Emena, she has a reaction to this statement and behavior… and she has the appearance that this point is correct.

Hmm, after finding out in the game that she's going to be kidnapped, you mean she started her journey... If so, then maybe the scenario went on in the game and the truth was told from her own mouth.

And this is the situation in front of me... whether you will fulfill it and talk to me. I honestly don't think it's a bad minute story, and if it fails more than we've stepped in so far and talked about, it could be pretty damaging here too...

However, as far as Princess Emena is concerned... a moment of tension. Emena lays her eyes down for the first time as me, Liese, and Sophia guard their silence. Whether or not it tells us... how you're deciding the answer.

Fulfilling - as silence wrapped around the park, it was... Princess Emena's statement that broke it.
