Sword of the Philosopher

Information from the enemy

"You have a demon that seems convenient... well, how does this work? The rest of the problem is where the enemy is lurking. Looks like three of us are investigating the princess, but whether there are others. And do you have a specific base or something?"

"It's hard to think of a base because the princess herself travels..."

Sofia's opinion. Yeah, you're right... I'll ask Silvi.

"Right now, Princess Emena is staying in a nearby town, right?

"Oh. I'm having a little trouble. Nevertheless, it is only within the boundaries of the future that the wise will know. That's why there's no problem leaving it"

Then it's not strange if there was a lurking destination somewhere. If that was the whole town, we need to think again,

"Anyway, do your research while the princess stays in town. It's a man-made tactic using demons. In the meantime, Sophia and the others will be asked to investigate in an unpretentious way."

From there, we started an investigation... and we got more information about them in about a day.

Firstly, the number of people is confirmed by three. A man dressed as an adventurer and a woman touring town as a traveler. And there's one man near Princess Emena who keeps observing. According to information from Silvi and Lady, once they stick around Princess Emena for about three days, they gather in the suburbs for an exchange of information.

"Then you're going to exchange that information."

We discussed it at the dinner table, and that's what Reese said.

"It's just not that far from the suburbs, is it? There seems to be a risk even if we attack."

"It's a situation where we have to take risks somewhere, so it's about how we're going to get through... the information's gathered. The suburbs, that's when I set them up... but the question is what to do with the three of them."

Even assuming it is annihilated, it must be firmly conveyed to the nobility that it is the work of demons. It is desirable that the conductor notices strangely and reports that he has been hit by demons...,

"Luon, I'm checking, is there something you want to ask me or something?

Reese asks further. Is that what you want to hear......

"That's about getting information from the three of us, isn't it?

"That's what's gonna happen."

"Hmmm...... as Lady was saying, if you have a weapon or something derived from a star god, I'd like to know about its origin...... no, if it's something related to Prince Livina, naturally?

"… information, is it"

Sophia whines about something. Then she's...

"Don't you know anything about translators?

"Oh translator...... isn't that just hard?

Well, if that information is to be obtained, it is Ali who catches them...

You can't say it's a zero chance.

"... um, you're not sure if it's something to do until you take a risk. Okay, what do we do?

As Lord Forna said, if we are going to prepare for the battle against the Star God and succeed in our strategy, we better get it over with. Nevertheless, there is no chance of getting any information either.

What to do...... such a fold, a word from Yuno sitting at the table.

"What do you want to do with Luon?

"What do you want...? No, that's just the way I want to do it."

"I don't think that's a good idea if that's a good reason."

"Right. Let us know what you think of Luon."

Sophia tunes in. So I...

"Right...... I don't think it's that hard to catch him if he's a face on the spot. I checked the waist and stuff, but even if the equipment is troublesome, the difference in abilities seems to be historical."

"Compared to us, it's called cruelty."

The opinion of the most decent Liese. Well, it's pathetic against the aristocratic private soldiers and the star gods.

However, you do......

"As far as I'm concerned, I also want to find out about the nobility that I'm investigating about the princess. Is this really an unplanned thing, or is it within the predictions seen by the wise? Of course, there is a corresponding risk…"

"Which is preferable as a luon?

"Me? Well, if it's within predictable limits, we're going to be doing unnecessary obstruction, so it's not very complimentary. Even if nobility moves stop, the influence is inevitable beyond being associated with Prince Livina"

It's just that this is what I was originally prepared for. Even if I distorted the story slightly, I tried to get information with Princess Emena. That allowed us to get information directly from the wise. I have those results in my hands, and I can't complain.

"If this were an unplanned event, we could have prevented it... I just don't know if I could catch a private soldier and judge it. However, if you can do it, you should."

"Then let me catch you and talk to you."

Reese agreed with me. Sophia nodded, too, to the flow through which my proposal would be adopted.

"Would you like Lady or Silvi to join us in order to reduce the likelihood of escape"

"We don't care."

Silvi nods too. Five to three on the number...... there is also a difference in ability and, normally, the battle is like decided.

Of course I won't be alarmed, and I just want to move in preparation for the unforeseen, if based on the possibility that I possess the weapon of my opponent - a weapon derived from the Star God. However, the biggest problem is catching them and taking them where.

"Worst case scenario, Forna's mansion?

"That's an ant, too."

"Though Mr. Forna did not mention the area"

shrugging his shoulders. Reese said,

"But, well, if we're going to catch him alive, maybe we'll think of something like that."

"If they catch you, use the demon to contact them immediately."

Everyone nodded at my words and the measures were finally decided.

"The three of us are getting together tomorrow night, considering how we're reporting regularly. Everyone is asked to be prepared to respond in any way, as the way they move varies from place to place. And never be distracted. If they find you before they attack you, it's the end of a roll."
