Sword of the Philosopher

In response to the measures offered by Lord Forna, I will put my arms together.

"Crush the hostile forces, not like that, but buy time anyway"

"Oh. Princess Sophia said earlier on to the material to be disputed... but it is also unclear that we may find something that is likely to prove it because of the circumstances in which we are secretly putting our exploration into place. I think it would be more effective not to let them stop moving and intervene than to guess."

... The ingredients for Princess Emena to rebuff Prince Livina in the first place won't have to be this time, and Forna's proposal sounds good. Nevertheless,

"Will the enemy stop moving?

Question from Liese. So Forna,

"It's been a long time since Princess Emena started her journey... if she were to set it up, she should be able to execute it earlier than she knew she was going to Spiritual Peak. Not so. The fact that we're investigating now is likely the force that interrupted us from the side. If so, if there is any damage, we will be able to pull it within the bounds of not letting the bolt out"

"I see."

Reese is also convinced. It seems like it's going to be decided by Forna's measures,

"But we have to check the size of the enemy force."

"It's hard for me there, too."

Then... is there one answer?

"We go in there, we smash it... even if we magically change our appearance, we do whatever we can to suppose when we find out and secure our enemies with a single attack"

"Dear Luon, to treat you as missing would mean isolating noble private soldiers somewhere."

"We'll have to look at the size of the enemy to determine what we're going to do. With three and twenty people, the way they respond is changing."

Well, if you're moving at the discretion of private soldiers and nobles, there won't be that many.

"Nevertheless, do we need to decide how to respond now... any ideas?

"Can't we just end this normally?

It's the opinion of Forna, the best lord...

"Um, you mean we're all gonna wipe them out, right?

"It's about getting ready for a battle with the star gods. I don't think we should show any mercy."

You're dry around here...... I don't even know.

"... think about the situation"

"Right."

Sofia also avoided making any explicit remarks on this occasion. Well, if there was no alternative, would it feel like annihilating the name missing?

However, it is not a good idea to be cautious when transferring to action. It is necessary to identify the opponent thoroughly before moving, including how large the enemy forces are.

"Anyway, let's hurry to the ground first. Can we rendezvous with Silvi and the others?

"Yes."

Sophia nods. So I...

"Last but not least... Do you need personnel for the translation work?

Turning to Forna, she nodded,

"It just doesn't feel like even if there are honest numbers... I think you're free to do that. I'll let you do it on my own."

"Well... then it's me out there and Sophia and Leese acting... Kati and Fili will continue to ask for work. Is that all right?

All the people nodded at the confirmation inquiry.

Though a noble private soldier, there's no zero chance he'll be looking at Sophia or Reese's face either, so it's somewhat risky, because we need strength when we move into action... you better have the ability to both of us.

"Then let's contact Princess Emena and let's say it moves. Everybody, it's an unscheduled event, but I'm asking you to be calm."

After the discussion, me and Sophia, Reese, quickly leave the mansion to join Silvi and the rest of the continent. There was no change in enemy movements on the road, which was reassuring, but it was the real deal when we arrived on the ground, and we have to keep our heads tight.

So, a little further away from the Princesses Emena, we joined Silvi and Lady. According to the story, Princess Emena can be observed using the user demon created by Lady, and can be handled with instant magic, etc., even at times of need.

"The princess's journey itself is so smooth. I don't think we need any help here."

That's what Lady tells us. The place is the corner of the tavern. Since people are still in and out in the evening, I thought it might be a bit conspicuous due to the large number of people... but for now, there are no faces that are paying attention here.

"So, as for the aristocratic private soldiers..."

"Do you know where you are now?

Sylvie nodded at this question,

"At first, I got a glimpse of us, but something went wrong… I know roughly where the three of us are currently lurking as to where we can observe them"

"Then I'll use the demon to observe the distant winding... how did it react to Lady, your demon, etc?

"Not at the moment."

You can't imagine the other side having the face to secretly escort the princess like us...

"And Lady, as for the enemy's gear... can you see any traits or anything? Like reacting to magic."

"Are you talking about not being distracted by the demon? At least there was no sign that you were responding to this magic, but be vigilant about the weapons you have."

"Weapons?"

"Somehow, I felt unusual magic. I thought so even in faraway windings, so maybe technology from Stargod is being used"

Hmm, in that case, would a lot of enemy forces be a hassle...?

"As for the number of people left, but in addition to the three, there is one person who is a preacher. That's all we can find so far."

"You're the one who gives orders to the nobles who are sending private soldiers... wait, can we at least delay contacting him if we take him down?

"In that case, you won't know what the nobles will do."

Sylvie's opinion. If you're in regular contact or something, it could be weird when the conductor's gone.

"Then I'll ask the preacher to tell the nobleman that he's gone... but the question is how to deal with a human being exploring the vicinity of the Princess"

"I've got some information that might help."

So, Lady took out some material.

"It's information about demons and such around here. I thought it would be better if I found a lurker or something to work on that demon."

"Oh, I see... well, the superficial procedure isn't that hard"

I'll take the file and check it. After the first reading, I told my people again.
