Sword of the Philosopher

"Can I ask you something about Leon... because I'm curious?

Leeze turned to me and I replied with a little confusion.

"Me? There's nothing so interesting about personal stories."

Before the Demon King's attack, I was just practicing.

Really? I'm interested. "

"... you're really just waving your sword silently by yourself?

However, Lise looked at me with anticipation.Speaking of which, I don't want to go into details about what I was doing in my school years with Sofia or anything like that, even if I gave you an overview somewhere.

Now that we're talking about rebirth, there's nothing wrong with talking about it...

"You've grown stronger for a number of reasons... but the direct cause of the strength you gained is that you wanted to grow stronger yourself, right?

"Well... that's right.But that's because I felt like I wasn't going to die.Besides... "

Besides?

"Game... I thought it would be very difficult to set the conditions for defeating the Demon King if I knew about this world.That's why I didn't want to be a sage, but I wanted to help someone who was a sage, and I wanted to be strong enough to be relied on. "

"There, the big thing to notice is..."

Pip and point your finger at me, Liz.

"I know it's unrealistic to talk about reincarnation.That's why I've decided it's hard to rely on someone as a Leon... but maybe I could find someone to help me?

Looking back, it seems reasonable... but I didn't think so at the time.

"In the first place, even if the Demon King came out, instead of being trusted, I was afraid of the possibility of being watched by the Demon King's minions."

"I see. But if I could get as strong as you, I would have been able to find an ally and trust him enough... to make that decision."

I'll be silent... that's what she's trying to say.

"There were so many ways to be stronger than to be strong."

"Yes. It certainly makes sense to be strong enough not to die...But you didn't want to die, did you?Death is always more than fighting.If so, it can be viewed as a contradictory emotion. "

"If you say so... what are you trying to say?

"Perhaps it was just a pure feeling at the root... that I wanted to become stronger."

"I won't deny it.In fact, it might have been pleasure for me to train and be sure to get stronger. "

Lize nodded convincingly.At this point, I can't see the story.

"Well, what do you want to say after all?

"What is the source of your power?"

"Isn't that... a wise man?

"But there must have been someone else who learned something besides you."

You mean Alan... No, perhaps I'm not the only one the wise man sowed.

"But only Leon started to move around to fight the Star God."

"I should say... somehow, it ended up that way."

"Is it because you've become stronger and have the power to defeat the star gods?

I see. First of all, strength is the premise.If I were the original Leon... that is, if I were the Leon in the story, this wouldn't have happened. "

She didn't seem very convinced by what I said.

"... are you focusing on emotions?

Somehow I guessed and asked.The power of thoughts, as the saying goes.I found it in cartoons and cartoons.Huge evil... even in desperate situations, when we all come together, we can face it... that's how it feels.In my case, I would like to continue to believe that I want to be strong and that the skill of the wise man has blossomed.

"... I've been thinking a lot since I entered this mansion.Again, the existence of Leon is an exception. "

"Exception?"

"This is not how we operate to fight the star gods.From your birth to your strength... there must have been another way.But you've grown stronger yourself, and as a result, you've gained enough strength to fight even the Demon King.The wise man probably called a lot of reincarnators into the world... but only Leon was so strong. "

"Ah, well... sure."

If you ask me, I'm sure it's a peculiar existence... for example, Alan knew a lot about it.But it didn't go as far as my unparalleled strength.

"That's why I thought about how Leon got stronger... when I asked around, I thought it might be a clue."

"I think I'm the exception after the exception... but, well, that's not a question."

When I was reincarnated, I thought I was the only one who was reincarnated like this, but the reality was different.when

"Someone other than me... it's not strange that someone like that shows up."

"Did Leon know about the members of the current organization... the blood of the wise man?Then it wouldn't have been strange to have someone who would have been equally active in the framework of the story.But at least there are no such people in the organization. "

I see...

When I murmur... I realize one thing.

"This is...."

"What's wrong?

Lise asked, but I stood up rather unanswered.Leaving her open for unexpected behavior, I'll leave the cafeteria immediately.

"Master Leon?

I can hear Sofia's voice from behind, but I ignore it.Return to your room early and get the materials.

It's an enemy organization file from Devils.I have already contacted the Holy King and will come to get the materials.....

"Hey, what's going on?

Lise came to the room and asked.She and Sofia stood at the entrance to the room.

"I'm going to go over the material again.Give me a hand. "

"What the hell did you notice?

I looked back at both of them.

"I don't have much time right now.I want to expand the materials in the cafeteria for the first time... the people from the country will come to get the materials as soon as tomorrow... and I want to do what I can by then... "
