Sword of the Philosopher

We are struggling to accomplish the difficulty of researching the star gods and their descent... investigating them, and even saving the Lisbon continent... the Holy Kingdom of Rebate in an exotic world... but in the meantime, time limits are approaching.

In the midst of a situation where we can't waste a minute and a second, we now have a base on the continent of Lisbon with royal support. We will stay here and fight until the final battle.

A ship with a member of the organization in the sea near the base arrives. Me and Sofia will pick you up, guide you to the Mansion, and begin loading your luggage. Some of the members have not yet started Devils at this stage, but they will be here soon.

"For the time being, focus on enabling research to proceed in the Mansion."

They all nodded and started acting on the instructions... Kati and Raddy are not here, but we're working on the research for now. However, Raddy is a wizard, and may I replace him with another member?

Well, you just have to think about it... so while I'm renovating the house, I'll work in one of the rooms in the house. It's a collation of information on hostile groups that Princess Emena and others have obtained at the moment.

The room is not so large in the corner room. It's a small room that feels like I've made a room in an empty space for now, and I'm using it because it's kind of calming down.

"Okay, here's the place."

After I've sorted it out, I mumble. By the way, it's me and Sofia in the room. All the other members are running around the house. I can hear footsteps in the hallway, and it sounds rough, but I don't care.

"What we know at the moment....."

Sofia tells the note with her eyes down.

"The name is Star Warrior, and it's a big Alliance party for adventurers. The Guild has also been registered, and it was formed about thirty years ago. Some members have been with us since the beginning, but as adventurers, they are actually retired."

Well, that's true.

Since it was formed thirty years ago, the early members are still fifty years old. Exactly. That makes the adventurer's family business tough.

"The total number of members is about fifty. As a reward, you are offering some kind of weapon. It is unclear whether this is related to the Star God at this time. However, there is nothing like the technology of the Star God around them…"

"Indeed, it would be unlikely that all members of the organization would be provided with such equipment. It's a big zone of fifty people... and I think it's a funder because of its history."

If you get involved with a nobleman, that's the only way to connect with the royal family... In fact, it's a success, and you can think of them as close to the royal family as allies or party guild members.

"The activity in question is basically an organization that doesn't act. The ruins of the Star God... if they find them, the members will act together."

"I mean, normally, members do what they want."

"I see. And we don't have a roster of members at the moment, so we don't know who they belong to."

It's easier to get around here...

"The only thing I know is the leader of the party guild. The name of the person is required in addition to registering with the Adventurers Guild... and the person's name is Nova Event. She's about 30 years old and has been at this party since she was a teenager."

"I have a question about the party... Hmm, considering he's been a teenager, it means he belongs to more than half the history of the organization."

"Yes, that's why you've been chosen as a leader."

"If so, I know quite a bit about the gods of the stars... or could be the mastermind of a series of incidents."

"I think so... even if the leader knows his name, he shouldn't interfere in any way."

If we're going to look into it secretly, that's the policy.

Well, that's fine. The material also says where he is right now, but I don't want to do anything yet... just keep an eye on the trends. "

"Yes, he seems to have some reputation in the Adventurers Guild, and I don't think it's that hard to find a place to stay."

"Well then... among my members..."

"This was hard to grasp from the Adventurer Alliance, but apparently we've been seen moving with Spirit Whisper."

"I don't see anything to hide... well, there's no need to hide it."

"Garc-sama has proposed to investigate from the Spirit... considering the information we have now, what do you think?

"I don't think it's enough."

We have the Spirit on our side, but with the power of the Spirit Whisper, what herd of Whispers are helping humans... I was already able to capture around here.

The question is whether the whole herd thinks the same or acts alone... things are changing around here, but it seems worthwhile looking into it.

"I'd love to find out about the spirits who work with the organization... it's unclear if we can get the information we want."

"That's right... it's hard to draw conclusions right away."

"That's right... you don't have to be so pessimistic. The investigation is proceeding with certainty. They still haven't found out about us... the worst thing for us is that the Stargods are coming sooner. If we can investigate the other party's organization and determine that there is no problem with the descent of the Star God even if we move, we can move."

"Yes"

A powerful reply from Sofia... she sends a message that she wants to help the royal family of the Holy King, including Princess Emena.

"Now we can roughly summarize the details of the enemy organization."

"Ah. Then the next question... is the enemy's power."

Sofia nodded at the words... and we started thinking again.
