Sword of the Philosopher

After a nap in the tent, the Gulk's enemies ended before dusk. So, regarding the result,

Around the Demon King's Castle... there were more tents and other enemy bases. In addition, the road leading up to here... After examining all of them, there was some armed group on the side of the road. "

"Is that a threat to us?"

At this stage, I don't know if I can find out.

"Hmm, I don't know what to do..."

About that group of people.

Sophia asks Gulk while I'm troubled.

Can you confirm your identity with hyperopia magic?

Just like when I was investigating people in the parallel world, I couldn't grasp the details of why I was using some kind of magic. However, if the procedure is known, it can be investigated, and the number of people is roughly known. For more details, I want you to wait a little longer because there is a distance. "

How many people are there?

Fifty or so.

"Quite a lot..."

When Sophia thinks about it, I'll talk to Gulk.

Besides, on the side of the street, are we blocking the way out?

If the observed presence is the enemy, it will be like that.

"... there's no real reason for someone to come near Demon King Castle, and I'm sure there's no mistake it's related to the Star God."

Well, I don't know what to do... but Gulk is telling me that I'm worried.

For the time being, I will explore the details of the enemy. If it is an enemy associated with Star God, it is likely that they will attack us here eventually. Since the opponent hasn't moved yet, we should investigate while we can. ”

"I see... you said you wanted time because of the distance." How long will it take? "

We know where he is, so we'll only have a few hours.

"Okay. Then please."

For now, we're done here, and we're ready for the showdown. We need to be prepared, even if the presence we discovered this time is an enemy. In some cases, this is more than a showdown.

However, after a few hours, it turned out that

I observed the sign of the star god.

"So you're the enemy... but why aren't you attacking me?"

They're stopping the movement... I guess, but if we overthrew them, we might have been trying to work with them.

"Oh, I see. But I'm afraid the enemy is worried about how they'll move because we defeated them early... so I'm sure they're right."

After I convinced myself and raised my voice,

So, what are the details of the enemy?

"Hmm, it's not like there's another parallel world..." However, there are also people who are a little doubtful. "

What's that?

"I'm a human, I'm sure I have the power of a star god."

Humans... I almost tilted my head to ask why I was wondering, but I couldn't understand Gulk saying that.

Those humans have the power of a star god, right?

Well, that's for sure.

"Even so, why is it that at this timing... and why is it that humans..."

That's right. If it's just that people who believe in the Star God have gathered here, then you can be sure that they will try to attack us...

“Maybe it's a call.”

Sophia spoke a moment ago. And I leaned my neck,

"What do you mean?"

"I think it's natural to think that the demons who invited us to the parallel world, and the humans with the power of the star gods... they heard about us and attacked us... instead of receiving some kind of information from the star gods, they came here."

There was absolutely no sign of that in the demon race, though.

“Maybe it was the role of attracting our attention.”

"If so, don't you have anything to say..." Gulk, if Sophia's guess is correct, maybe there are enemies we haven't seen yet? ”

I haven't been able to observe it yet, but it's impossible.

Gulk thinks about it.

Hmmm, isn't it enough simply to spot the surroundings? Or is there something else on the road that leads from Demon King Castle to Star God? ”

Something is happening that makes me doubt everything... but I feel that it might be better for me to think, as Sophia speculates, that the star gods have sent information to their supporters and gathered them together.

"... maybe we should wait a little longer."

In my words, Sophia and Gulk seemed unwilling, but they nodded.

"Gulk, reconnect with the area around the base." This time, it's not just the ground, it's the ground. "

You could be underground.

"That's right. Rather than eliminating all possibilities... please investigate after eliminating common sense, etc."

All right, let's check the ground and the sky.

... I think the sky is too ridiculous, but the opponent is the power of the Star God. It's not strange that we have something out of our minds.

“Sophia, make this base stronger.”

Got it.

And how about supplies?

"I wasn't expecting anything like this, but there are no problems in terms of supplies. At least until we find our enemies and bring them to the showdown."

"All right, Gulk, as soon as I get the details of the enemy, I'll form a unit and knock them out." If you're not an opponent of a parallel universe, you don't have any problem organizing angels as support personnel, right? "

[That's right. However, the main fighting forces were those who had been trained with Lord Luon. Therefore, it is inevitable that the load will be applied to Lady Luon. "

"I want to be ready for the final showdown... and we'll discuss and decide what to do."

So me, Sophia, and Gulk started to move like they were playing.
