Sword of the Philosopher

As I spoke with Gulk, I reached the village of Feind."There must be Kati here..."

Does Lord Luon have any memories of this village?

The words of Gulk that I heard... reminded me of when I met Fili.

"...... ahh"

What's the matter?

"Yeah, well, I don't really want to remember."

When I tried to talk like a game for the first time, I chewed it brilliantly... It took me a whole day to recover my mental damage, so it's no exaggeration to say that my Reincarnation Debut started from the worst.

Well, from there on, it was like...By the way, at this stage, one of the five protagonists of the game still considered him to be the one who defeated the Demon King... and now I think back to one of them, Fili, there was a little special emotion from the first time I met him in the bloodline of a sage.

I look around the village. Reconstruction is progressing, as it was when I first came.Of course, there are places that are changing, and there are decaying houses in the details of the village, but the people of this village live hard.There was no doubt about it.

"... heh? Luon?"

Katie's voice. Turn around and you'll see her approaching us.

“What's the matter? In a place like this

I thought I'd take a look around before the final showdown.

Isn't that when the battle is over?

"Look, I'm engaged to Sophia, and I think my movements will be restricted."

Oh, I see.

She seemed convinced by my explanation.

That kind of Katie... I was expecting to return to her hometown.

"In the meantime, when I showed my face at my parents' house and used all kinds of magic such as Monster Dodge... I've lived on my own, and the timing was good, so I thought I'd work for the village a little bit"

I see.

"Well, when the battle is over, maybe I'll be a judge somewhere... and then I can make it easier for my family."But it's unlikely that I'll ever go back to my hometown... "

"Is that what you want to talk about?"

There's an inquiry.

Sofia? But Leaze is more likely to solicit.

If you're clear after the battle, you'll feel safe with me.

Oh, why?

"For example, if you can't go anywhere after all this talk... it's kind of bad aftertaste."

I think that's what happens to Ordia, though.

"...... I think I should take care of that area."

Katie starts laughing at me as she blows her head off.

"Do I have to be so careful?"I'm telling you, it's only your will to follow Princess Luon and Princess Sophia.It hasn't changed me or anyone else. "

"I think so, but we're going to fight for our lives."I want to come to a good end... is that weird, including my people? "

"You've been paying attention a lot."

I'm impressed somewhere... or am I stunned?Anyway, Katie showed a strange look she hadn't shown before.

Well, if you're going to be worried about something like that, I'll tell you it's okay.

Silence broke out there. As far as I'm concerned, if I were to encounter my people... I would definitely say so.

"...... Kati said it as a matter of course in the conversation, but I'll have to confirm one thing with you."

Yeah, that's fine.

She seems to be predicting what to say... well, naturally.

Are you going to participate in a showdown with the Star Gods...?

Why don't you join us?

"If I asked for it, my friends would nod."But that's not what I meant.This battle is not forced or ordered. "

"... that's why people are gathering, right?"

I don't know about that.

It was before my reincarnation, but I don't think I'm that charismatic...Because of its unparalleled power, it exhibits an overwhelming personality and seems to be thinking of fighting together in the face of its power.

However, even if I say "I don't have the power to lead my people" here, it will only be denied, and I'm not going to say it.

Anyway, is it okay if Kati joins the fight?

"Yes, that's fine... oh, I have Fili and Kori in the tavern, why don't you try to point your legs at them?"

Are there two of you?

"For Fili, it seems to be the place of all beginnings."He decided to use this place as a base to meet his people, explore the ruins, and fight the Demon King... that's why he wanted to come to this place. "

Is Kori the same?

"She also seems to have changed her outlook on life as a result of the events in this village..."The battle with the Demon King changed the lives of so many people.It must be the same for Fili and the others. "

I see.

I look in the direction of the tavern.

Are you going?

What about Katie?

"I've got work to do, so I'll stop."Speaking of which, Luon, what are you going to do today? "

"I don't have a problem staying overnight... but after I talk to Fili, I think I'll leave the village."

"Yes, in the royal castle of the Kingdom of Burx."

Yeah.

Turn your back on Kati and walk out.Along the way, I saw that the people in the village were getting along well, and I found that many people were moving towards the future.

"It's our mission to make sure we don't lose that future..."

The battle against the star gods is also to protect the people who live now.While thinking like that, I walked through the door of the bar.

Fili and the others immediately notice me and start talking around the table.Explaining that Kati had told him why he was visiting the village, Fili nodded profoundly.

"I didn't mean to return to it at the beginning, but I wanted to remember somehow."What happened when I first started my adventure? "

"That's... for what purpose?"

"The Demon King and the Stellar God... are completely different beings, but the purpose of destroying this continent hasn't changed much."That's why I thought of that feeling... like that. "

He seemed to be trying to catch me in the fight against the star gods... so I nodded and opened my mouth to his words.
