Sword of the Philosopher

"... I don't know if I can open things up"

Yeah, I'll tell you after I preface.

"We can cooperate... Specifically, we'll have an escort here"

"Escort...?

"I understand I can't rely on the royal castle side in the circumstances...... so I move to protect you here"

Originally, I was going to secretly escort her. Even so, that wasn't my role, and Sylvie and Lady were going to take charge of it.

Since Lady is able to use magic to hide the signs, she uses it to escort him from the shadows. Silvi's turn when things get rough. That's how I wanted to observe Princess Emena's trends. Well, to be honest, I think it's more about surveillance than observation, and there were parts that somehow caught my mind... if it's in the form of approval, that's good too.

In addition, there may be progress on another purpose, beyond being able to throw this directly at the princess. It's

"I just want to avoid just working to provide people even here... so I want to ask for one thing"

"... what's that?

"Actually, there's another purpose to this visit... that you can help me carry out"

"Purpose,"

"Actually, I'm looking for something on this continent... but it also depends on not knowing if it's an object or a person"

Princess Emena tilting her little neck. Yeah, well, that's a natural reaction.

A supplement came in from Sofia while I thought about how it was explained….

"Actually, there are enemies fighting us right now. It's only a story on our continent, so we didn't have anything to talk about."

"Enemy... Demon Nation, is it?

"More specifically, you're a person who could have followed a demon. Those who, in other words, supported the Demon King… they are now moving against the flag"

Gokuri and once Princess Emena swallow a snail.

"I see... what are you looking for related to that?

"Yes, I want this to be a secret...... apparently one of the lurking destinations is somewhere in this Lisfana continent"

To the words, Princess Emena opened her eyes.

"On this continent...!?"

"To be precise, there were people from this continent who supported the Demon King… I don't know if they went to our continent because they originally supported the Demon Nation, or if they began to believe in it when the Demon King invaded, but they have a safe house. We're looking for it."

Well, I guess it's a reasonable reason... if these are the circumstances, we can also reason to act differently.

"We have not spoken of this to the national side because the battle itself, is not a public one. There are so many complicated circumstances intertwined that I can't make it public...... I want you to tell me your candidacy for a place where you might be able to hide. Alternatively, they could provide material with details such as geographic information."

"Looking more into this continent and trying to find a base... doesn't that mean it's somewhere in the capital, for example?

"The possibilities are not zero. I have a clue that I was able to know fragmentarily, but I have just enough information to scrutinize it… I don't have the information on the continent at hand"

After that much talk, Sophia put aside a few moments to

"… after this meeting and so on, we plan to do a good job and do a lot of research. However, as I said earlier, this is not public, so we will act without informing the Kingdom of Liebail. Therefore, it is not difficult to escort you secretly…"

"It's a mutually beneficial story."

Reese tells. As Princess Emena, she has a confused look... but she listens to us properly.

"We also knew it would be difficult to find a base without taking it. So instead of working with you, I thought I'd make it easier around here."

"... I understand the circumstances. As a knight myself, I study as a princess, and I think I can present certain materials within the court, etc."

"Then will you take it on? I'm just not saying I can't. Maps and other information will have sensitive elements in the first place -"

"I don't think you would use it to harm the country... and I do know that some aspects of acting at my discretion are not good... but I will provide the material"

Emena nods. There is also a risk if you expose it, but more than your own life hangs on it. Is that a form you agree with? For the first time, negotiations have been concluded.

"... about the escort"

"Shall we discuss it a little, including how?"

Yeah, I'll tell you.

"The fact that this one is lending a hand would be a troublesome story from the enemy side, and if you have the power, there is a chance that you will fail about the talks that are going to work this time. Therefore, it is desirable not to find out secretly…"

"I don't mind that. It's very comforting to have allies... you know, I just figured, you know, one of my cases and the other guy you guys are chasing... do you think that could be interacting in any way?

Have you been connected? It's not an unlikely story, and I can't help but doubt it.

"I don't know, to be honest."

That's what I answer. Emena sends her gaze over here and waits for the story.

"If it's just a matter of possibility, I don't think it's zero... as far as we're concerned, considering the case, I'm going to deal with it."

"Okay. Thank you... I'm sorry to bother you."

"I don't mind."

Sophia replied that way,

"If you're concerned about a situation, we're never irrelevant either. We will gladly participate in the battle, taking into account that we are also connected"

"Anyway, let's start with the info... if you run into trouble on your trip, you won't have time to look into it after. As soon as possible, where I want to find a base"

"I will summarize the material by the end of the day as it is difficult for me to meet you in preparation"

"What's so radical..."

"No, I'll make sure to do it"

I replied stubbornly. I don't think she has the same personality as Sophia, but there's no more to us than to say she's gonna do it.

We had various discussions from there - it took some time, but we were able to consult closely about the future.

As for Princess Emena, can I say that we have solved this... we can also get information about Star God. I'm going to be busy in the future - such a hunch was born in the back of my chest everywhere.
