Sword of the Philosopher

"Sister Leaze!"

As soon as she opened her eyes, Sophia shouted the first thing she said. Leaze immediately apologized to her, and I sighed tinyly.

In the meantime, you've succeeded in pulling me back.

I stood up from my chair and turned my gaze to Anvellate. She nodded back small.

Is your health okay?

"Oh, I'm fine... how long is it in time?"

I think it's about an hour.

Leaze and I were looking around the world for a long time. Whether it was due to the influence of tools or because the spirit only crossed the world, it seemed that the progress of time was much slower.

I look at Leaze with my eyes open. She smiles tinyly at us in her sleep. I showed a face that seemed to say something, but I didn't open my mouth.

"... just tired of not getting used to it"

I mentioned it while turning my shoulder,

"Sophia, I'm going to rest, but do you mind?"

Yes, of course.

What's the schedule for the showdown?

Isn't it okay to delay a few days?

Anverate says. I nodded several times to agree with the Devals by my side. So I told him,

Well then, can I take care of the reorganization of the schedule?

"Oh, I'll take care of it."

... I'll leave the room after I hear back from you. I had to return to my room in the castle.

That day, after Leaze woke up and nothing happened, I rested in my room. As a result of falling asleep in bed, I woke up at night and decided to walk around the organization's building somehow during the late-night hours.

There is no mention of the child Gulk. I don't know if you cared or if you figured it out, but you never talked to me.

So I use the magic of the lights during the late-night hours and turn to the cafeteria where no one is staying. The tricks and unusual sounds of shoes echo. Normally, I'd be scared, but I was fine. The reason for this is...

Oh, you were here.

I heard a voice on the wipe. Leaze was at the entrance to the cafeteria.

What's the matter?

Isn't Luon the same? After I woke up, I rested halfway, and I couldn't sleep anymore. "

"... that's right."

That said, there seems to be another reason.

Leaze says, "I nod without lying, and she comes close to me."

"The choice we were looking at... because of the Reincarnator Luon, I couldn't normally see it..."

"I went back to my room and thought about it, but I don't think that's just me. For example, there are other reincarnators in this world besides me... a world in which those humans have entered. I think that's one of them."

That's right. However, Luon was definitely the most influential in the fight against the Demon King.

Maybe that's right.

With a nod, I recall the sight of my consciousness on the verge of returning to reality.

--In that choice, I was winning a battle with a star god. With the help of wise men and demon kings, I was defeating the star gods. And the same opinion as I have now... that is, even if you defeat the star god, you may eventually have a similar existence based on the law of magic power--that possibility was taken into consideration.

"The wise man thought that there was only a future in which the star gods would ravage the world."

Leaze puts her arms around me.

"But it was actually different..."

I don't think the wise man could see that choice anymore.

Like Luon, you can't even observe if you're not actually a reincarnated human?

"That's right. In the human era when we originally created this tool, we would have no choice but to defeat the Star God." However, since the wise man sowed many seeds and the existence of the Reincarnator appeared, the option to overthrow the star god appeared. "

"... we can do the same thing."

"That's right. At the very least, the presence of me has proven that the conventional future... can go beyond that assumption." That's definitely the answer to the question we need to ask right now. "

― ― No matter how much you raise up, no matter how strong you become, you can't change the future in which Star God destroys the world. Although there was such a possibility, the tool Leaze brought in denied the speculation.

“I don't know if there's a winning chance, but at least I'm glad I found out I can break the future.”

"I'm glad you helped me."

"... by the way, what about the tools?"

As expected, judging by the risk involved in using it, it looks like it will be stored in the storehouse in the future.

Well, there's been a problem.

"...... I haven't spoken to you about the choices we've seen, but did Luon tell anyone?"

"No, I didn't say anything."

What are you going to do?

"I don't think you need to talk about it. Just tell them there was a future we could defeat."

- Somehow, I felt like I shouldn't talk about it unnecessarily. It wasn't because I was at risk, but because I felt somewhat bad for Luon when I chose that choice.

As for why I thought that, I can only say that it's a matter of mood honestly...

Leaze, please don't say anything else about this.

If Luon says so.

"...... for Leaze, it was an ideal choice."

Until the end, she fought with me and Sophia. Finally, after overthrowing the star gods, that world's luon... and Leaze...

“I don't know, what do I want to do now?”

"...... I'm unlikely to go on a journey after a battle with the Star Gods"

"Even so, there are ways we can cooperate in the future."

--It was as if you were determined to bury the time you were fighting with me and Sophia in that choice.

At the same time, I affirm her ideas. That's one of the many choices I've made. I've been thinking about it myself... but like that choice, we can win the battle against the star gods and spin the future.

"... it's going to be a tough fight, but can you follow me to the end?"

And I questioned Leaze.

If it's true, it's strictly forbidden to take the princess to a dangerous place.

Of course I'll fight.

Leaze said. I nodded tinyly with a bitter smile at the clear answer.
