Sword of the Philosopher

When I heard Sophia's explanation, I was convinced that it would be.

"There's no doubt that it's related to the star gods, so Leaze brought it as a useful effect... and apparently it was an ancient angel... I mean, she was doing the same research as Anvellate."

That's what she brought into her country.

Anverette said, staring at Leaze, who once fell asleep.

But that's no reason to keep falling asleep.

Is that another tool?

"Probably. I just don't know where we're from." What kind of tools do we have to test from now on? ”

"... isn't it a bad idea to leave Leaze like this?"

Sophia is slightly prone to my questioning. I'm just asleep, and I'm breathing well.

"We'll see what we can do about the verification today."

And Anverate made it clear to me.

"The gods and other angels will observe and deal with her condition... right?"

"- I'll take responsibility for that."

And a new voice in the room. Looks like Devals is in the room.

"To tell the truth, the part of the blame for this lies with the angels."

"To an angel...? What do you mean?"

"I was consulted by the princess because it was a tool that I could use against the star gods." I thought it would be helpful if you could bring it back this time.... "

And I said, "This is the result."

"That's what happens."

"But I don't think it's the Devals' fault... this is like an accident, to say the least."

I tried to tell you, but Devals' expression was heavy. So this is

"... can I ask you something about Leaze?"

Yeah.

So I leave it to Devals… Sofia and I head to the lab with Anverate.

So I checked the tools... but one of them was a staff the size of a baton. The other is a leather bracelet. The bracelet is embedded with a gemstone with an engraved pattern.

Which is the angel-derived tool?

Unvelate pointed the baton at my query.

"Currently, the effects of the tools should have been interrupted, but Princess Leaze was showing them." It seems to be a property that maintains the effect by hitting the target with a specific technique. "

Hmm, it's like debuff magic... It would be very useful if it could weaken the Star God's abilities.

"As I said earlier, this wand alone is no reason to continue sleeping." Although the effect of the cane has been exerted and given to Princess Leaze, it doesn't have the effect of losing consciousness, and it doesn't have that effect in the first place. "

"Is it reasonable to assume that this is the case with another tool and synergy?"

Probably. However, we can fall asleep as easily as we can, so we should use the equipment to verify it.

That's why I came to the lab... when Anvellate starts to prepare, everyone who was involved in the research, such as Anastasia and Kati, will show their faces in the room.

And the test began on the initiative of Anverate. There's nothing I or Sophia can do to get out of the room and wait for the results in the cafeteria.

Are you okay?

I questioned Sophia, who seemed to be depressed. She nodded tinyly,

"I think you can do something about it..." But I didn't expect this to happen.... "

"I think I'm upset." I'm a friend, so I can't help it. "

"There are aspects of the showdown that I can't help but think..."

"In the battle with the star gods, there is an atmosphere where even if there is a sacrifice to someone close to me... I think it is natural to be upset"

"... yes, that's right."

While we're having that conversation, the others come to see what's going on. Leaze's worried voices were heard many times, reminding her that she held a very important position in the organization.

While she was waiting, Sophia couldn't help but stand up and wander around. I don't want to stop it, I just want the tool verification to be over soon.

Then, about two hours later... Anverate came to the cafeteria and reported to us.

It's been roughly tested on the tools.

"I see you've figured it out." In the meantime, it's the first step to fixing things. "

"Yeah, that's right... but it might be a little tricky."

With that word, I'm making my face steeper,

What's troublesome?

It's the effect of a tool, but first of all, it probably has to do with a wise man.

A wise man?

"It's not what the wise man himself created." So far, we have followed in the footsteps of a wise man and received information about him. More to the point, I also conducted research on the bloodline of the sage. Speaking on top of that, this is not a tool devised by a sage, but something created by a sage-like being... I wonder if I could describe the magic power as being in the hands of a sage. "

Is that... a wise man's ally?

"Maybe so." Princess Leaze fell asleep using her tools, but that was never her intention. "

Is it okay to think that it is due to the synergy of tools?

"Yes, that's correct... I'm sure this is a guess, but I think he was someone who knew what the wise man was doing."

"I traveled the world to defeat the star gods... I'm the one who agreed to it and helped me."

Yeah.

I was on the verge of a showdown, and something really ridiculous appeared... no, I think Leaze thought about bringing the tools because it was before the showdown.

So, what's the effect of the tools?

There are some, but one of them is related to transfer magic.

"Transfer? Is that... so that the wise man can travel easily?"

It seems that there is such a purpose, but it seems that it is not the main technique.

What was the original purpose?

Anvellate glanced at us,

"Extremely special nature... maybe it will also have something to do with your origins..."
