Sword of the Philosopher

"First of all, should we solve the most important question about Loden... how is the other party going to find out about our situation?"

"Aren't you using your magic?" Just like me. "

"If you're flying a demon like Luon-san, isn't it strange that Luon-san's demon captures it?"I mean, it's not the same technique. "

When Kuza said that, he put his arms together.

"If you were observing from a hidden place through magic power....."

"I think I might be able to trace it."I don't know if that's possible, but at least it's good to crush the other person's eyes. ”

But... I could have predicted it would be quite a challenge.I don't know how the other person is observing us.It's pretty hard to find without any hints.

When I searched the town, there was nothing suspicious about it... No, more accurately, I wasn't caught by the magic detectors.

This is a guess.

I'll tell Kuuza.

"The opponent is not always working with a demon like me... moreover, it doesn't emit a lot of magic power in itself."At least, I can't detect magic power. "

Huh?

"I traveled the whole town, and even if I found people, I couldn't capture what the enemy planted, so I came to that conclusion."Kuza's right, it's not a moving demon... "

That's right.

"If that's the case, for example, if you have a tool that can observe the whole town, and you use magic power to see the places you want to see... or something like that, there's a way to do it."Since magic disablement only removes aggressive objects, it means that harmless magic power can be flown. "

For example, it's like a surveillance camera... I'm flying drones and looking around, so to speak...

Well, that explains the battle.

Kuza seems to have gained some certainty.

"The battle so far... If the enemy had perfectly grasped our trend, it would have been strange if a reincarnated person had emerged earlier... Since someone knew about Mr. Luon, I started with Princess Sofia and noticed at first sight that Philip and his allies were the lineage of the wise men."

Yeah, that's for sure.

"However, the first time the opponent engaged without knowing anything like that... does that mean that they didn't know what kind of person they were even observing...?"

"It's possible that only Loden could have grasped the situation and delayed telling us... Well, at least the enemy hasn't grasped all of us."If you have limited places to observe, you can be convinced that it will be the current battle situation. "

I look around, answering.If there's anything at least I can help you with...

“What will happen if we maintain the current situation?”

Aldia asked me about it. So I thought,

"The magic that stops time... this effect will last for so long, don't stand around."In the first place, I don't even know the source of the magic power to maintain such a large-scale magic..... "

What about magic disabling?

"I can't lift the status quo... at least not until I catch Loden."Even if the magic that stops time is interrupted, it is necessary to maintain the magic in order not to make the opponent chaotic... However, even if you play only aggressive things, maintaining the magic disable will also cause problems.That's why I want to restore it as soon as possible.... "

If only Lodden had been caught.

Sylvie looked around as she said.

"But we're useless."

"I wish you could protect this park... I must have lost a lot of strength because of my move."If everyone stays here, there's almost no chance of anything being done to them. ”

"... after all, we don't know the enemy's purpose."

Katie says, "We're getting caught up in everything."

"After stopping the timing and leading a large number of allies, Roden alone could not have done anything... even if we didn't know the purpose, we could have prevented the prospectus of the enemy"

”I see... Luon's been searching for Loden like this?”

"Yeah, but after a long walk around town... how long would it take to find them from here on out..."

Now, what do we do... then I realize that there is something.Romilda is busily looking around.When I tried to open my mouth, I wondered if there was anything I was curious about.

"... hey..."

What's the matter?

”My vision is kind of... shiny”

Glitter?

While tilting her neck, Romilda seems to be feeling uncomfortable, so I stare.

Then... sure enough, the light flashes at the edge of my sight.It's just a reflection of light... until then,

"... um"

Kuza noticed again and approached the bushes in the park.

"I see, that's what it is." Luon-san, I know what the enemy was using to observe. "

Huh, really?

While I was surprised, Kuza thrust her hand into the bush and grabbed something.

"Probably this."

And the one who showed me......

"Mirror...?"

Fragments of a mirror, to be more precise.Apparently, it was in the bushes.

"I could see the light because the sun was moving and reflecting... on the contrary, it was in a place where the sun was shining."

"It could be just garbage..."

And since I said it, I've denied it from the inside.It had a little magic power.It's so subtle that you won't notice it unless you take it in your hand.Even if I was running around the town, I couldn't possibly notice.

"Rather than a mirror... I used it as a catalyst to see the scenery."

"Yes, it is."

It was like a fixed-point camera.The predictions were probably true.

"Can you use this to find out where you are?"No, let's start by collecting this. "

“That's right, we might find something in there that could lead to their whereabouts.”

Well then--

I'll breathe and tell my people.

I'll ask the Knight to split up and find out ─
