Sword of the Philosopher

"Two princesses, Princess Emena and Prince Livina, are in conflict... and in order to somehow end the princess who might interfere with her research, the prince decided to launch an attack at the time she began her journey"

to my words. Sophia looked at this one,

"Princess Emena shall be excepted..."

"That sort of thing. I have promised to escort her, and she has told me about the journey… we will be able to break into that country again in time"

"What are the chances of being attacked before that?

"I can't say she doesn't, but basically she travels down the street with her squire. I'm hiding my identity, but I've already made arrangements for a lodging and other accommodations on the castle side, and if the itinerary doesn't match, the castle side tilts its neck and starts investigating what happened. The prince has a certain say, but he doesn't have enough power to do this in the streets. The best way to strike without ever being exposed is when you enter the spiritual peak."

'Cause even if you get attacked by demons, you have an excuse.'

That's where Reese gives a convincing voice.

"That sort of thing"

"I understand... so when does Star God get involved, but"

"I only know the beginning of this story that I know... but now that I know the structure of the story, I can make some assumptions. What matters is the direct confrontation between the princess and the prince… do you use the study of the star god in doing so or do you use other means to counter it"

"What do you mean?

"Whatever the star god's research is, I think maybe the star god himself will make a move in the phase of reaching for it and trying to defeat Princess Emena. Or the prince himself is only put aside by someone, and there is no zero chance that the real mastermind will be apart... where to reveal the Star God's skill, although there is much to know. That changes the time of descent of the star god"

"As far as we're concerned, it's better to be as late as possible."

"Right. How early can we gather information..."

"For information, we visited the Holy Kingdom of Liebait."

It was Sophia who opened her mouth here.

"If there is still research on Star God or something, you will undoubtedly get information. But with that, I wonder if I can find a solution..."

"That's a big anxiety element there, too. As far as I'm concerned, I don't know who the star god is or what he is... I think if we get core information, including that, we'll get some sort of countermeasure. Well, certainly Sophia's right, because there's no absolute guarantee, though it's a betting part"

"Either way, Star God himself is starting to move"

Reese speaks. There must be something floating around behind your brain about the Apostle.

"So we have to hurry... but there's no guarantee we'll get the information."

"Because the free city of Torbas, which I raised as my first candidate, is only powerful and not certain... therefore, I cannot waste my time. I'll do my best to move around, so do it with my intentions."

Everyone snorts. Later, we just wait for the ship to arrive at its destination.

The discussion ends here, and I'll be on deck once. Land is invisible and surrounded only by blue waters.

I rebel in my head about what I'm going to do. Moves to get information on the shortest possible route… I don't even know if that's the right thing to do.

I don't know how short we can go back to the continent right now... this isn't the part where I can do something about it, so I just have to make sure the sailors work hard...

"Hey, hey, Luon"

To the lid, Yuno talks.

"What's up?

"Gark wants to talk."

... You didn't say anything in the context of the discussion earlier, but you had something to think about?

I'll head to my room once I have my doubts. So I opened the line via Yuno.

"Garc, what's going on?

One report to Lord Luon.

"Is that a bad thing in a discussion place?

"Because it is not yet determinable, it is only to Lord Luon"

"... star god tangled"

Silence arose. Apparently, it's a drawing star.

"There was movement in the star god, not that. I've been observing a lot of things here, and there's no particular change... but it's different from the star gods, and it's affecting them.

"What's that?

"It's about the spirits. Where the spirits live, problems arise, such as the frequent appearance of demons'

The spirits, not where humans live...

"Because we are currently able to eradicate it without problems, we are not experiencing surface problems. But Sumika the Spirit of the Land Water Fire Wind, to which Princess Sophia has made a covenant... the place is all affected. If there is only one place, it can be concluded that it is simply a natural phenomenon… that the magic of the atmosphere has changed due to weather and so on… '

"You were worried that everything was going wrong."

"Umm."

"It's a weird story, for sure, but what is the basis that it might be associated with Star God?

'There is not clear evidence. But the Sumika of the Spirit...... there are many demons, especially where the Gnome lives. Underground relations - rather than being seen as affecting everywhere via the earth, if so, it would be the star god who is more likely'

"I see... are you investigating about that?

'Whatever. The spirits are looking into it in general. I'm not sure yet. "

"If it's about star gods, do you mean that anomalies are beginning to occur... Hmm, what about other continents or something?

'I haven't talked about it in particular. Lord Devals and others gather information about the continent where angels live, but they don't.'

"That continent also has a place with a lot of magic, and it wouldn't be strange to have one or two changes...... keep gathering information"

"Okay."

"Don't move the Garcs yet... all the more so if it's Star God related"

'I know that too. If there is any clear change, I will contact you again'

Communication from Gark has expired. Hmm, it's starting to stink.

I'm still unclear if it will lead to Star God... but you should continue to observe first. Assuming there is a change, in some cases it may also affect those in the Rizfana continent...... should we also look into the area? I decided to take a short break until I arrived at my destination.
