Sword of the Philosopher

I first went to where I was based.Near my hometown, I've deposited all my tools with Gulk, so there's nothing left.

Is there a reason you're here?

Gulk appears in the wipe and asks.I looked around where I was based.

"The reason why I became stronger was different than before, but that's why I was learning magic by waving my sword."I just wanted to make sure I didn't die... but... "

Now, to defeat the star gods... the vectors are different.

"That's right. I don't know which one is better or worse... but I feel like my desperation is as weak as it used to be."Even though I feel like I'm in a good place for training right now. "

Don't forget your beginnings.

"... in the end, that's the only way I could risk my life."But I don't think Sophia, Gulk, or anyone else will forgive me.That's why I'm thinking of remembering my first feelings again. "

― ― Now, there was almost no emotion of working hard not to die.Defeat the Star God. I know that's why I'm reborn in this world, and I'm fighting to risk my life.

So, if I can defeat Star God at the last minute, I may give up my life... no, I'll probably fight with that much momentum.Of course I'm afraid of dying. I'm scared... but more than that, there's something to aim for--

Certainly, it's the opposite of the original purpose.

And Gulk responds to my words.

If you want to be strong enough not to die, you can die, so you can serve your purpose... I think this is the last time for Lord Luon, but it must be his feelings.

"I told Sophia and the others that even if we defeat Star God, we still have a long way to go... but if we think about it, we can entrust it to future generations..."

That said, I'm not really impressed with that way of thinking.

Well, of course that's the answer.

I shrug my shoulders.

"That's why I came back once... yes, let's try not to die"

By the way, aren't you going home?

"Somehow, you can tell about me, and I can see that it's going to be a big deal."I'll be back when it's all over. ”

I use my magic to start moving.Your next destination is

Lord Luon, where are you headed next?

"Where the journey begins... it's the village of Feint."I'm also worried about the recovery. "

While I answer that, I'll point you in the right direction... Gulk talks a lot to me along the way.

If you think about it, I've been fighting with Lord Luon for a long time.That said, there's nothing useful in battle if you're in this shape. ”

"For me, it's a lot of help."

Really?

"Ahh... Gulk, the battle with the star gods is over, and I'm going to fight the magic of this world next..."If I don 't-- "

Are you trying to tell me you're going to inherit?

"Gulk doesn't have to do it himself."However, in order to transmit information to future generations, we need the power of being to know all about the history of this battle, not just human beings.Gulk would be the best choice, wouldn't it? "

I've seen and heard a lot of things with my Princess Sophia... it seems that people inherit history by themselves, and I'm in my own form.

"Will you do me a favor?"

It's Lord Luon's request. I'll take care of it.

And I said, "Please."

"... hey, Gulk"

What's the matter?

"I don't know if I'm going to hear this now..."

You suddenly changed.

"Well, I wonder... what kind of relationship Gulk has."

"That's an interesting question."

Gulk laughed at the words.

"But is it okay to think about it once... partner, as for Lord Luon, Princess Sofia can be raised."However, it is not a subordinate relationship. "

"Somehow, I think the advisor feeling is the best expression, but it doesn't taste good."

I can't be convinced by the existence that we're working together to defeat the Demon King and the Star God...?

"I think the word" fellow "suits you best... how does Gulk feel?"

Me? That's right...

Silence broke out. For a while, only the sound of the wind cutting from the exercise of high-speed magic resounded in the surroundings.

... comrades with the same aspirations?

Comrade, is that it?

Along with that, he's one of us.

I stopped talking.So Gulk laughs again.

It's not like you're trying to narrow the relationship down to one thing, is it?

"... you're right, Gulk is right."

As far as I'm concerned, I don't care about any other expression... that's what friends are for.

Friends or friends?

Although it is somehow a ticklish expression,

"... if you want, do you mind if I say that?"

I'm good. In this way, Lord Luon may frown, but human friends have existed in the past. "

"Oh, I see... if you think about it, I don't know how Gulk lived."

Are you interested?

Well, more or less.

I think I can hear some interesting stories.

{That's right... I'm not hiding anything from you.There's nothing wrong with talking.

Well then, let's talk with Sophia... once this battle is over.

It's like the wording of a novel.

Yeah, sure. It's kind of a flagging expression.

Well, let's hear it before the battle begins.

It doesn't matter to me.In the first place, it's not that interesting either. "

"Spirit and human evaluation criteria will definitely be different.In the first place, I'm excited to hear about the ancient stories of the gods that humans have never heard of. "

It's not a big story... well, if Lord Luon can enjoy it, it would be fun to talk about it.

While having such a conversation, I run through magic day and night.Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've been running around the continent like this.

Maybe this is the last time I'll be moving like this... and then I'll just keep going to my destination.
