Sword of the Philosopher

The journey guided by Ami goes smoothly without any special obstacles, etc. She said it would take about ten days each way, but as a result of our conscious haste, the schedule was digested in a way that would advance it. A person named Forna arrived in the waiting area.

For once, it seems to be the Holy King of Rebait... located on the edge, with elevated mountain ranges and forests in front of us.

"You're so natural."

In response to my words, Amy smiled bitterly,

"You just have to be clear. Nothing in the country."

"... you don't have to be so humble. However, this is certainly an environment where people don't seem to complain about working in research."

"I don't know how much the Lord's workload actually is, but, well, there's no place to call a town, and it's not easy because you have a small population to govern."

Ami still talks with a laugh...... I got to know her a lot more on this trip as well. Well, I didn't get any useful information from her, so I started chatting all the time.

Her information also allowed her to have some knowledge of the continent. I don't know if this knowledge will help, but I don't think it will hurt to remember.

"Come on, you're here."

Amy finally told us about it while showing us the atmosphere. We're going down the hill in the woods - and it's crooked, and it's going to take a lot of time on foot... but we finally got to the mansion.

Built with rock walls behind their backs, that building is more intimidating first and foremost than luxurious or beautiful. Be careful when stepping into this mansion... or I felt like I was talking about mindfulness.

The carriage anchored at the entrance to the mansion, and we went to the front door. Ami stood in front of both open doors and conned the door knockers.

After about five seconds, I could hear the shoe. And when the door was open, the maid appeared. Dark-haired, are you in your mid-twenties or something? A neatly organized costume and makeup seemed to represent rigour, not glamour or anything else.

"I have brought my guests here at the Lord's command."

"We have heard the story. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome all the way here. Please come inside as we guide you to your room."

It doesn't feel like I'm welcoming you, but a perfectly clerical voice...... probably a tone like this from time to time. Do you feel like a working person?

They'll let us in for now, so we'll go indoors. The entrance is wide there, yet with a beautiful impression. The maid pushed straight through the hallway and led us to a room in the back.

"Please wait here"

Passed was a spacious room, with glass windows on one side opposite the door. Behind it there was a courtyard, plus a shoreline on the other side of the courtyard.

The courtyard itself seems to be planted with flowers and other things to admire... but given what the Lord of this Mansion is doing, how much of a case exists where this room was utilized.

"I guess that means you're quite welcome."

Reese lowered her back to the couch when she whined.

"Let's just wait. There's no need to panic more than we've come this far."

"Right..."

As I replied, I approached the window to view the courtyard. So I thought of something and called to Yuno, who was flying around.

"Get in touch with Yuno, Garc"

"Yes."

The reply brings her closer. Get ready and connect the line.

"Mm, Lord Luon? Have you finished your carriage journey?

We've already reported the situation on our journey… we're only communicating this time to confirm the situation on the other side.

"Oh. They let me through to my room. I think you'll get some information in a few hours."

'Let's hope that's the core thing... you want to know what's going on here? Even so, there is no change. And some research progressed in relation to Star God. I think we'll have a good report when we get back.'

"That was good. Keep working on it."

'Um... so, what about Princess Emena?

"Oh - the story has begun"

The story unfolds exactly as the game says. During her visit to Spiritual Peak, Princess Emena is attacked by demons. In contrast, the person who is the protagonist of the game enters the help and escapes the difficulties. The demon is showing a move to take the princess away somewhere, and if we keep going back, Prince Livina will kill us and start moving to find evidence.

At the moment, Radi and Silvi are still not moving. And even on the journey, we are working together… It was instructed by Princess Emena not to move yet because the help came in separately for the first time. Keep your distance, Silvi and the others observe, but the journey itself seems to be going well.

"How soon will the princess's journey be over... depends"

'Hmm, well... what if you got some important information here?

"It depends on the content of the information. If we need to take action against the Star God, we have to move even further. If you don't have to, you're going home to watch the story go on."

I don't suppose it's going to work like that...... did Garc guess my inner whine,

"Keep an attitude so this one can move when and when."

"Oh, so do me a favor... even after I get home, I might have some turbulent days"

"Maybe."

That's what Gark said. He cut off the comms. My colleagues are listening perfectly to this conversation.

"Depending on the information you get here,"

Sophia says. I nodded deeply,

"I'm a lord who knows things about star gods. At least I don't think I can get more accurate information than I do when I fish for materials. Besides, if there's such material here, it's one hand to show it to me."

"If we show research results, what if we need consideration?

"It also depends on what they want. In some cases, there will be a need to identify ourselves and negotiate."

It's just, well, it's unlikely there 'll be any leaks about us from the lords here. He's showing a bare gesture that hides things about the star god, and secrets and such should be shared.

With that in mind, I heard shoe noises coming from the hallway. Looking at the entrance as I thought it was finally over, the door slowly opened.
