Sword of the Philosopher

While Gulk was sitting in the woods, I took a look around the towns I visited on my journey.Speaking of which, there was an event here... and I think back to the place where I broke into the ruins of the angel.

It's a coincidence that I ran into Gulk.

You've heard the story before.Even though it was to find Princess Sophia, it was because she had entered my place that it became a battle. "

"You didn't listen to me..."

”As expected of me...”

Bad tooth cutting words. The main unit may have distant eyes.

"Well, as a result of that flow, I was able to help, and it was good for me... even though it was a terrible encounter."

Since then, I've been paying attention to those who have invaded the forest.

"... there was someone like that."

Hmm. All of them were lost.

Well, you fought me because you felt like you were wary of the magnitude of that power... if you could do it in peace, then so be it.

While we were talking like that, I arrived in the woods.The time was during the day, and I went in a little... and Gulk and I came to the place where we had fought.

I've been waiting for you.

And there was Gulk. I nodded back when I saw that figure,

It's a confirmation, but will the main unit join the fight?

Of course. Other spirits... Feus and Azure are preparing to return to their homes.

"I see... I want to meet you face to face before I go to the Royal Castle of the Kingdom of Barks"

I see? And as a supplement, we're going directly to the Demon King Castle.

You're not coming to the castle?

Umuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

For example, a demon tribe... that would certainly be the best.

Currently, we are dispatching our subordinates to the vicinity of the Demon King's Castle, and preparations are underway.

"You're really well prepared..."

In this battle, humans, including Lord Luon, will also join the fight.In addition, people are the protagonists. If so, would it be inevitable that we would support it? ”

― ― Somehow, it feels strange.It is impossible to ask not only for the power of the gods, but also for their support.

But by the way, Lord Luon, what should we do with the items we have in our possession?

"Is that what I got during my training?"Use it effectively.I don't even need permission to use it. "

Are you okay?

"It's the last battle."It would be nice if you don't hesitate to put it in. "

Hmm, don't hesitate... now, Lord Luon, what are you going to do now?

"Hmm, that's right... I don't mind if I go to the nearby town and take it easy..."

The next goal is to find a gnome's place on the path of the journey... there is a distance, but I can use my travel magic to reach it today.

"However, even if you go to the gnome, it's going to be late at night..."

Given the distance, it's going to take a little longer.

Well, let's get as close to the inn as possible today.

I'll turn my gaze to Gulk.Although there is always a child Gulk, it is somewhat fresh to see the big figure again.

"... hey, Gulk"

What's the matter?

"I'm sure Gulk will help you with the battle with the Stellar Gods... are you sure?"

That's the question now.

I'm sure Gulk would have said that.

I can't say that.

"Hmm, why?"

Even in overthrowing the Star God, there is certainly a sense of obedience because that is Lord Luon.

"For example, even if it wasn't me... that's why I helped someone with the same intentions as me, right?"

Maybe, but I'm taking the initiative to prepare because Lord Luon is going to fight.

It's me, but... it feels kind of weird.

"Simply, my journey so far... looking at the journey that Lord Luon has followed, I am thinking of helping."It's not that complicated. "

"I see..."

Hmm, are you worried about Lord Luon?In this journey, I will meet my companions again and ask them if they will face a showdown... and they may turn me down. "

”Apart from that... no, somewhere in my heart, I might have a self that feels that way”

However, if you made that choice, I would like to respect it... for example, because I'm afraid to die, I don't care.But if you tell me you can't keep up with my ways, I might be a little shocked.

You're so delicate, Lord Luon.

"I don't know... I feel like I've been doing this many times"

Hmm, there's no difference. That said, I think I know that Lord Luon will be distracted... but I'm not worried about that either.Lord Luon can continue his journey as he wishes. "

It's kind of a weird way of encouraging me... but I nodded in a small way and left the forest behind.

The next day, I arrived at the Gnome's residence and met Akna, the king of the Spirit Gnome.

"Maybe we're getting ready."We are also going to fight to save the world. "

I made a strong statement to that effect.We're done here without the need for me to check.Next, meet Loco, who had a contract with Sophia.

"How is Princess Sophia?"I've been hearing about the latest developments via Mr. Reafin, etc. "

"Ah, I'm so energetic... is Loco joining the fight again?"

"Yes, I intend to." Since I was on the journey with the princess, I was proud to be associated with the princess if she left, and I was willing to participate even if Akuna told me not to go. "

The bond with Sophia doesn't seem to have broken... Rather, if the contract hadn't been terminated in the fight against the Demon King, we would still be fighting together.

After confirming that the Gnomes would also cooperate fully, I immediately decided to go to the next location.

Lord Luon, where next?

The place where the game event happened… the forest of Latras.

It doesn't seem like there's any point in visiting a place where there's no one...

”This means a journey following the path I've followed... let's go for now”

That's why I decided to direct my course to the relevant location... I exercised my movement magic and pushed forward.
