Sword of the Philosopher

- I looked up at the sky from the top floor of the mansion the night I had the operation meeting. The stars were much prettier because the surroundings were dark, and I never got tired of watching them.

I was thinking back in my head about the meeting, and I heard a knock. When I approached the door as I replied, I saw Sophia.

"What's up?

"We need to talk a little bit about the future."

I'll put her through. So Sophia sensed that the window was open,

"Give me a view outside?

"To be more precise, I was looking at the night sky. I want to refresh my mind once before I reconsider it."

- As for the meeting, it was literally disputed. The proposal presented by Yuno is a good one for us… No, it was definitely something we could find the light on.

However, it is also very risky… if things go well, it is definitely an effective means. We can buy the time of six months, and yet we can solve the problems of this country, although not entirely. But if you fail...

"What do you think, Master Luon?

Sophia asks. So I...

"I think the measures offered by Yuno are certainly simple and yet effective...... but that's something we haven't tried before. Honestly, can a measure be made to the end properly... that's a concern and I think it's a big deal"

Sophia nods. She also seems to know that it is another difficult road.

Yuno's proposal is for solving the royal problem. Nevertheless, we will intervene more than just do it. Failure in that assumption could result in the loss of time of six months, and yet we do not know whether the royal problem will be solved fundamentally.

"It's a big bet."

"Yes, definitely"

"On top of that, Sofia wants to intervene whenever possible…," he said at the conference "

She nods - whether or not to use the measure in the meeting. It was Sofia and Lord Forna who endorsed it. Plus the facade of Reese. I mean, someone who had a lot to do with the royal family.

If we're going to think about the future, we can nod in favour of Sophia and the others... on the contrary, it was Kati and Fili who showed the difficulty. Especially Kati. Not even the opposite.

"It's pretty tough if you're gonna do it. It may indeed be warranted for a period of six months. But there may be a need to focus on this measure."

If you're going to be involved with royalty, naturally there's a need to turn your consciousness to you. So even if time is guaranteed, there will be time for us to work out our technology against the star god... that's what Kati seemed to want to claim.

I thought the same thing about this. If we leave the royal issue alone, we will be able to immediately return to the kingdom of Barks to produce various technologies for that period. Alternatively, you may be able to stay on this continent and get useful information about Star God, or you may be able to get a number of technologies that are only available here.

However, if Yuno's proposal is adopted, the possibility arises that the time will not be taken. By the way, I asked him if he wanted to go to Garc.

"It's a subtle place. Regardless, if you think of the star gods, the battle between royalty is limited to letting go '

Yeah, I made a prerequisite.

'Though, it is. Technically, the future could change even if left unattended than the Lord Luon and the others are involved. If so, rather, Angel Yuno's suggestion could be effective'

I thought inside that you wouldn't deny it, and Gark further mentioned that he had read such inside of his mind.

'Whatever choice we make, we're just talking about following it. Bearing in mind that the period will be shorter...... In the first place, we were not taking into account the deadline of six months, etc., and were preparing to challenge the decision with the Star God as soon as possible. It is informed and to some extent eye-catching. From that point of view, even if it gets shorter, there is a possibility that we will be ready for a showdown'

Though the words of the comforting Garc......, time will still be needed to make the preparations for the showdown firm.

Whatever choice you make, there is no doubt that the Garcs intend to follow. So the question that remains is whether or not we can get through this.

"... in the first place"

And Sophia opens her mouth to me.

"Which option is desirable for this country?

"... that Prince Livina's becoming king is not a good idea?

"I have some thoughts, I try to harm my relatives... I don't know if I'm trying to kill them, but it's true that Prince Livina has something better than I'm sure he's trying to do harm"

Well yeah...... even if I were to help the prince, I'd be hooked about it.

"I don't really like the way you put it... but is Prince Livina the person you need to save"

"It would be somewhat clearer about that, assuming you adopted Yuno's measures... no, you do. If you could help the prince, there's room for regeneration."

That said, I don't know if I can reconcile with my sister Princess Emena... but when she was worried, Sophia asked me.

"What do you think, Master Luon?

Another inquiry - I took a neutral position during the meeting. In other words, the final decision was left to me.

The same goes for being knowledgeable about sage, and most importantly because I have experience in fighting demon kings... plus in Sophia and the others I put my shoulders in for having been close. Sometimes I'm the head of the organization, and I have to decide what I should do.

There is time. Even if you don't make a decision tomorrow, at least by the time Princess Emena arrives here, it's not too late to conclude...... but if you take into account the shorter period of six months when deciding with the Star God, it's better to make a decision quickly. That's it, even tomorrow.

"... I'll think about it for one night"

Sophia nodded silently at my words. The face did peek at the face of being a squire, accepting any decision.
