Sword of the Philosopher

Tomorrow morning, I reached the royal castle, so I took an inn in the station town... but when I returned, I couldn't sleep at last, so I woke up late at night.

Maybe I'm nervous enough not to even notice it myself... I went out somehow. At night there is only moonlight, but I can walk because I know where the road is for the time being.

I walked purposelessly... to the entrance of the station town. There are no people around, and the wind is somewhat pleasant.

"Well, I don't sleep much today, but I don't think there's a problem...?"

I murmured as I realized my eyes were even closed. In some cases, you may want to go into the castle and let me rest a little. I think I can afford it for a day or so.

By the way, I'm not talking about Gulk. Do you have any thoughts about my attitude, or do you want me to... point the water at you?

"Gulk, do you have anything to say?"

Hmm? I was just thinking about Lord Luon, who had some ideas for me.

"If you're going to observe such emotions, don't you have a choice to leave me or something?"

Lord Luon is an important person right now. As expected, I couldn't let go of my eyes. "

Hmm, I see... I said, "Okay," and looked up at the sky.

Somehow... I don't think there will be a battle to decide the fate of the world from tomorrow. It's a calm night.

'Most of the people who live in this world will continue to live the same life tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It might be a boring routine for some people, or it might be a hard day... but no matter what you think, you don't think this world will end anytime soon enough. ”

"That's right... for example, even if you hate the world and want it to break down, if it does happen... you'll have no choice but to get upset"

I really don't think so.

“I'm not saying zero. But even if most people dream about it, I think that the same routine will continue tomorrow."

... Lord Luon, this battle will not be engraved in human history, but are you not obsessed with leaving a name?

What happened suddenly?

I knew Lord Luon wasn't originally interested in fame, so I was talking to him. I wonder if that's really the way to go. "

"Apart from that, I want to satisfy my approval needs, but I'm not fighting for it." Besides, you don't have to do that. Because the person I want to know the most is because I know what I've been doing. "

Princess Sophia.

"Apart from Sophia, my friends helped me out... I'm well enough and I have the best reward for knowing that."

And I fight to save Sophia from the collapse of the world - and when I thought like that, I found a figure right in front of me.

"... even if I come to town in the middle of the night, there's no hotel open to me."

When I somehow turned my gaze to what I was going to do, I felt that my eyes met the opponent.

No, I think it definitely had an eye. Along with that, I felt uncomfortable with the other person's sign. Something, something different... definitely not a traveler, an airy feeling.

"...... Gulk"

Oh, you're not a normal person.

Gulk also decisively tells you. When I stood my sword out... they waved at me under the moonlight.

"Well, I want to avoid any noisy development at the entrance of the town." Besides, I'm not doing anything... I can't even put my hand on a harmless human being. "

... with that voice, I knew exactly what the other person was like. Along with that, the words and deeds contain a lot of irony.

Because the person who showed up was me and him.

"Don't say that with your mouth."

I refer to myself--no, to the Star God who resembled me.

"To be like me is a bad hobby no matter what, and it can only be realized by magic. It's a perfect lie that you didn't do anything."

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter what you say or do any more than you show up in this form."

The stellar god who laughed in my face was strange and creepy even under the moonlight.

"Well, I'll talk to you again like this... this is the last time I'll ever be talking to you."

"What is your purpose in the first place... no, how did you get here?"

"It's not such a big deal." It is only said that a human who interfered with his own power appeared in this world, and he was able to project his consciousness onto the earth. Besides, there are many ways to do it, like using a Phantom Beast to create a massive existence. Wouldn't it be nice to talk to you in peace like this? "

I'm not answering anything. Rather, if the star god appeared in front of me and there was no change in the situation, I feel that something was happening together with the appearance.

"Now, it's finally time for a showdown..."

You know that, and you're not doing anything about it?

"I don't know if it's accurate that I can't get out." Actually, I can barely talk like this. If you're slashed with a sword, there will be a light foaming foam. "

A star god who shrugs his shoulders. As the saying goes, at least there is little power in existence before our eyes. There will be no battle.

"I roughly understand you." Well, I don't know what kind of technology I've built up, so I'll just make it clear which is stronger... for you and me later. "

"I'll let you win."

"You seem confident... hmm, that's all you've accomplished."

After seeing me, Star God nodded several times as if he had been convinced of something.

"The will to fight is enough." Well then, let's just wait quietly... I'm looking forward to the showdown. "

"We have gathered our strength to defeat you... we will surely win"

I tell you, Star God turns his back on me after laughing.

"... oh, just one thing"

Star God looked over his shoulder and told me.

It's a showdown, but it might take just a little longer...

“What did you do?”

"I'm not doing anything here... well, if I go back to my people, I'll know that too, won't I?"

With that, Star God disappeared.
