Sword of the Philosopher
Conversation with the Lord
The designated accommodation was a luxury location and setting, and I went inside, thinking somewhat that the cost of the stay would be considerable. When I gave Ami's name at the reception, she responded immediately. I guess he said something about us beforehand.
After about five minutes, Ami came to the lounge. Look at us. She smiles.
"I hope you won't listen to me."
"In conclusion...... but there are various problems"
"Oh, then I can predict. They take away time to do research here, don't they?
Exactly. Can you guess?
"I'm just going to lean my neck this way... but listen to my lord and come back here, so no?
"Because there are circumstances and to some extent deadlines exist"
"Deadline, hey...... the investigation itself is a request from someone, is there a deadline or something?
"I can't talk about it in detail... because it's going to be an intrusive story. Sometimes I don't really want to talk to outsiders."
"I see... don't worry, I'm not going to pry this one"
"So, because of that situation, confirm it. How many days can I return here?"
"Hmmm... one way, it's like ten days"
Ten days. Whether it's long or short is a subtle line... but it never means we can afford it.
The story of Princess Emena is definitely beginning. Things will be quite progressing in twenty days back and forth. Unless the information we get from the Lord of the woman in front of us is what we want, we'll be in the form of L.A. for quite some time.
On an optimistic note, Princess Emena's journey to Spiritual Peak took quite some time. If you need the same number of days to get home again, that might take a lot of time...... The question is whether the destination of Princess Emena's journey is to return to the King's Capital. If that's not the case, and if the showdown with Prince Livina takes place in a completely different place... these days could be fatal.
"As far as I'm concerned, it seems pretty long"
Recommendations from Sofia. I nodded at it,
"Amy, we really want to talk, but we don't have much time to do it."
"I see... I guess it means it's stuffed with chopped wings. How soon exactly do we have to finish the investigation?
"The exact date and time are also unknown... well, even though we talk about it, our client is often absent, and if we weren't there when we visited, the due date would be postponed. But since we've reached the scheduled number of days, we'll no longer have to wait in town... like that"
"Hmm, that's hard...... oh, then I'll try to make direct contact with the Lord? If you're the right match for the Lord's glasses, you might be able to get information over a magical call."
That sounds like the best... I agree and Amy will show us to the room there.
A few degrees up the stairs, the room was full of luxury. Thinking it's a lot of luxury, Ami takes something like a crystal sphere that she keeps beside her bed.
"... a guest has appeared. And"
Apparently, he's starting to talk. I just have to hope this works out later.
After about three minutes, Amy turned to us.
"When we talk. There's just one condition... he wants you to leave, including me, except for Mr. Luon, whom I found."
... You're on guard. I don't know what the reason is, but, well, as long as we have a conversation, we won't have a problem.
When she sees Sophia and the others, she leaves the room with her snort buddies. Amy gave me the crystal sphere, too.
"Put this on and we'll have a conversation."
Leave that out of the room. I'm the only one in the room.
I take a deep breath and talk to the crystal sphere.
"... Hi"
'Oh, nice to meet you. You're Amy's visitor from another continent. "
- Voices are indistinguishable from both men and women. It's neutral and hard to imagine their image or anything.
'First of all, it was on alert that I made the payment. Because it would be absurd if a person who did not know the circumstances heard it… If Ami identified someone, he would understand what he was going to talk about, so he decided it would be good'
"Really..."
'Oh, I don't mind the tone of voice. Oh, and do I have to introduce myself? My name is Forna. It's Forna-Jarrey.
"Mr. Forna... sorry for the question that suddenly strikes the core, but what Ami said... can we speak specifically here and now?
"If you can, it's in the way you should invite me to my mansion. 'Cause many parts of us wouldn't understand if we didn't.'
"... If you have information on what Ami told you, you are likely to have what we want. But not a hundred percent. Therefore, we would like to continue the investigation in Torbas..."
'Aren't there so many personnel?
"There are three people with expertise, including me."
"Then it will be hard to find out in Torbas… indeed, with that number of people, it is understandable that it will be both an option and not an investigation with me"
"It would also be an area of expertise about your story. Then I think it's necessary for all three of us to have a conversation there... but the investigation is likely not to continue in time"
"Can't make it, or..."
Silence arises. I'd appreciate it if you could talk to me here, but that just doesn't seem like it.
You have to go to their mansion, does that mean there's something over there? I'd appreciate that if that were material about Star God or something, but if that were the case, Forna would be telling you the best. Now, how do you react?
'... Hmm, right. Just to confirm, can you give me the details of the information you want?
"Sorry, but that too... I'm not doubting you, but telling you that you're bad could make things worse"
'You mean you need to be vigilant... Okay, fine'
Forna answered that way. I don't know what you think of me... when I was silent, I heard my opponent's voice coming from the crystal sphere.
