Sword of the Philosopher

Now we're talking.

We'll make our way around town to where the ruins are, as planned. It's a mountainous area...... but it's a rocky mountain where almost all the greens are close to nothing. They say there are trees growing in the surrounding mountains, but they don't exist just to be surprised here.

The same is true of cliff-like shapes... So, in this mountainous area with little human hands in it, behind the rocky mountains... a small plot surrounded by mountains is the entrance to the ruins and the place of thought.

"... every time I think"

I whine to Sophia and Reese as I go down the mountain.

"How can a ruin be so mountainous?

"By the way, my master's home was in the back of the mountain."

Opinion from Yuno. Is it the same for Anverate?

"I mean, Luon, don't you have more words for that now?

"I did dive into a large number of ruins, but now... Somehow, there was a stereotype that there was knowledge of the past life and the ruins were in the back of an unknown mountain..."

"They say there are theories..."

And Sophia advises me.

"It's a powerful thing that we've put in place to hide the research."

"... what about around there, Yuno"

"I don't care if I ask... oh, but I wonder if the master bothered to complain about this place or something"

"Hmmm... if you're just going to keep it a secret, like an underground cavity or something? Well, there were cases where there were relics like that."

"I wonder if it was a spiritual vein."

This is Liese's opinion. Yeah, I do understand if that's the reason.

"Now there's nothing because the terrain has changed, but there used to be a spiritual vein"

"Sounds like the most likely thing...... but is terrain something that changes dramatically over the years? Well, that may vary slightly, but it's big enough to change the spiritual veins."

"Maybe it was caused by the destruction of the star god. Or that there is also a change in the spiritual vein due to the descent of the star god? It's coming out of the ground, and there's something causal about it."

"Then does reason make sense for once?

Assuming the spiritual pulse was the reason, that's going to explain it...... Ask Anvelate and you'll see?

"I'm going to ask you a few questions about this... we're still a long way off."

"Luon, I'd like to ask you a question."

Leese changes the story to the lid.

"Against the showdown with the Star God, but as things stand, the members of the organization fight together, okay?

"I don't think that's gonna happen...... but what's up?

"No, I'm going to be in the final showdown to keep me and Sophia off the front, and if I'm thinking about it, I'm going to hit you one shot,"

... It certainly can't be more like that than being important.

"Exactly, I'm not going to have you hanging out until the end. I don't know if I'll allow it, but the state will."

"I'll be fine."

Sophia opens her mouth. Well, we've been dating since the battle against the Demon King. For Sophia, it's only a further story now, and above all, King Claudius understands it.

"Besides, Sister Reese, isn't it logical that if we lose, the world will be more than over, even if it's royal, to die?

"If that's what you say, that's what I'm talking about..."

"Reese, are you okay there in the first place?

I ask where I haven't touched much before.

"The members of the organization have joined us, and we're living in the kingdom of Barks, but who's in the country?

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm going to explain the situation properly and you're going to have to admit it. There's no problem there."

"Fine... I'll tell you what, you'll get your permission right. As a member of the organization, I treat you with other people, but you're in a different position in the first place. As for Sophia, I can do it because my father, King Claudius, has approved it, and in Reese's case..."

"I know. Somehow, you're a snake."

Riese laughing bitterly. You were going to tell me things, but you ended up telling me things.

"Don't worry, I understand my position properly, too, and I'm not going to bother you"

"... because if something goes wrong, we can't follow up."

"Yeah, I know... just so. Can I ask you just one more thing?"

"Oh, I don't mind... what's up?

Just a little bit. Reese stopped talking. I was wondering if there was anything, as if she had decided to.

"Do I have a problem with being in this organization?

- Maybe she cared the whole time.

Unlike Sofia, she may have cared all along due to her accession en route.

"... that's not what we're talking about now."

When I say it, Reese shrugs her shoulders.

"Perhaps you are. But you'll need to make sure, won't you?

"With the showdown imminent, huh?

"Yes, it is."

Sophia's not coming into my conversation with Liese. Instead, even the feeling of being kind of hallucinating hides out.

Even with her, I may have had some thoughts about Reese... but as far as I'm concerned, the answer was one.

"Well, there's one thing I can tell you... don't make me regret letting Liese join the organization,"

Reese of the day becomes Kyoton. So I...

"The very precedent of joining the princess, Sofia, is such a pretty risky thing. It's not weird if something happens along the way, even though losing the battle against the star gods will end it all. But I listened to all kinds of people... and most importantly, I saw Reese fight and judged him."

"You're evaluating me, can I think of it?

"I don't mind you thinking so. But it's a different matter of strength and survivability... as far as I'm concerned, I just want to avoid the worst. That's with the rest of us. A tough battle awaits us more than we shall be fighting the ruin of the world. But finish the fight without missing any of the members of the organization... so make sure you don't die."

Of course it's not just about Reese - the words seem to convince Reese at the time,

"Yeah, okay."

Respond with a smile. Sophia also had a soothing look somewhere.
