Sword of the Philosopher

"You kept me waiting."

What showed up with those words was a woman with a crate on her side and a white coat...... a woman? Blonde hair is long and does look like a woman if told...... something that fits the description that her voice is neutral after all and yet looks good. I barely know the line of my body either because I'm wearing a much looser white coat... Yeah, if I hadn't asked Ami about her gender, I wouldn't know which one, this.

"It's Forna, the lord... Well, a visit by abrupt offer. I'm sorry, but let's do something good so we can give you the information you want."

"Hi... it's Luon-Maddin"

Step over and introduce yourself. So Sophia and the others name their names after each other... just well, Sophia and Reese are pseudonyms. It's still early to come up with all the circumstances here.

"Well, if it's a bargaining matter, I'd do one of the public stories at first, but this time it sounds like you should just get down to business. Now let's talk about the star god. Among them, I'll mention what my visitors left me."

Is that what you're holding on the side? I had my doubts, but first things first, so everyone sits on the couch. Although it was just installed in the room, not five people could sit side by side, so Reese and Fili were to sit on both sides of Forna.

After everyone is seated, Forna puts the box on the table and starts talking.

"First of all, from how I found out about Star God... it's not that big a deal. I was originally drawing Dragon blood and outlived the usual, but I wanted to get something like lifework in it."

"... lifework?

Me listening back. Forna laughs "haha" there.

"In my long life, I wanted to get something to immerse myself in. Most of all, this is not a normal way of thinking. There is research that would otherwise like to get answers, and it is normal to work in academia to immerse myself in it, but I touched on academia in an attempt to get something that I could study for life. I mean, the other way around."

... Somehow, you're a floating away Jen. I know what you think inside, but Forna gargles, as I say.

"With that gaze, I know roughly what you're thinking, but let's throw it away now. In it I was more interested in the history of this world than in the history of man…. Numerous ruins sleeping on various continents. The ancient civilization and trail of thought that exists there… decided that I was the right subject for a lifetime"

"... you weren't interested from the start?

Forna overlaps her gaze on my words.

"From the beginning, what?

"I'm interested in ruins and stuff, not trying to find out..."

"I found the research topic interesting, so I started looking into it,"

"I see..."

Is it okay because the goal that we are making life work has been achieved because we are currently immersed in a progressive form?

"In it I found interesting information. Rather than what was hidden in ancient civilizations… why did civilizations like sleeping in ruins perish? It's the information that will tie it off."

"That's the star god."

"Right. I was interested in it and started looking into it. I don't know how much information you have about Star God, but let me tell you... this world has been destroyed by Star God more than once"

- From someone who knows nothing, it's definitely an absurd story. But we accept the fact that we are here in silence.

"I can only speculate about the cause... because such information is missing in the ruins"

"Missing...?

Tilt your neck. Forna seems to have come to the conclusion, though, that

"Yes, missing. No such information exists in the ruins. There are cases where information about the star god is asleep, and in the continent of Sherzia, where you live, for example, there are ruins made by angels, among which there is certainly information about the star god"

Anverate or something, you're just a party.

"The ruins that exist on this continent are at the hands of man, but they are very similar in nature to the ruins of angels. It's just that the ages are apparently older in the ruins of this continent... and that means that angels mimicked ancient human ruins"

That's what we know from Devals around here. And as for imitation... what the phantom beast Jin said... it would be convincing if the origin of demons and angels were based on the fact that they were born by weapon development.

"Don't you think it's a little odd here? The clues of the past that would come out if we looked at the ruins over the years… I mean, there was just enough technology to withstand the weathering caused by the times going on. Then even in situations where history is suddenly interrupted, it should be as good as a record. But I have no idea what caused the collapse of civilization."

Sure, that's a funny story... I didn't even tell you about Anvelate or anything around it. You mean you don't know the collapse of ancient times?

"And I know another interesting thing... the humans of those ancient civilizations. We're supposed to think that's our ancestor."

"... no?

"We are born in this world because humans have lived ever since civilization collapsed, but apparently the situation is a little complicated. A man of ancient civilization… in which the far-off seem to be our ancestors"

... That's kind of ambiguous. I know what you're just trying to say.

"So the people involved in Star God have been annihilated by the influence of Star God?

"Oh I can think that way...... but I think the truth is a little more different"

I guess there's a big part of the guesswork because I don't have any info...... I just have info she looked into as lifework. Are you sure you think it's a certain persuasion?

"It is our ancestors whose information is interrupted after annihilation, and yet who have little connection with civilization itself. Having obtained such information, I concluded one thing… there is no doubt that civilization has disappeared by Star God. But that's not local. Everything in this world... at the same time on every continent... was an event that occurred on all of this planet. That's why there's no information after all the ruins."
