Sword of the Philosopher

Through guidance was a settlement made of rocks creeping like a spiritual gnome. Visiting one of those rooms, tables and chairs were arranged like a conference room.

"Are you visitors?"

And it was a blonde man in the room... just that he was the same height as me, not a boy, but an adult.

"I am Elua, the head of this flock. I thought you were here because you wanted a hand."

"Yeah, I was doing some research on ancient tools."

We sat down and started the conversation... and then Elua looked at us and narrowed her eyes.

"... sounds like a traveler from the looks of it, but not just an adventurer, huh?

Ugh, um... this, maybe trying to explore this one's qualities? Well, I can understand being wary of us all of a sudden... but if you believe that after my explanation, it's not strange to pay the front door just for gold.

That means the Spirit Elua himself has something to think about, and he must have invited us here... but what are you trying to find out?

Here I was wondering if I would talk to Sophia or Liese. It's just not a situation where we can talk openly or anything, and how we should deal with it.

"... I don't know, you seem to have something on your mind"

But Sophia opened her mouth before I could say anything.

"I don't feel like treating us any more unholy than I have invited us so far... it must be risky for you to put humans in the dust. However, due to our condition, at least not the crude ones... therefore, you, the long one, came out to discern what the qualities are. Different?

"... roughly correct"

"Then I have one more question than before we revealed each other's identity. Why did you put us in this place?

"Well... in short, you guys visited this place, but before that, a certain person visited this place. That's what he said. There may be people visiting this place not far away, he said. They may bring something about ancient times."

That's - Sophia talks further to Elua before I give her an answer.

"Was that person a person in credit?

"That's right. I never talked to him myself until then, but apparently I've visited this place. Found out by the memory I kept."

I understand. So Sophia,

"... wise man, right"

To be sure, the Spirit Elua opened his eyes a little,

"So the people involved are good, right?

"Yes... Dear Luon"

"Right. The sage thing came up. You can talk about it."

So we decided to tell the truth.

The Spirit Elua turned out to be satisfied with our situation. So, as far as I'm concerned, the question arose after I finished talking to you.

"Why is the wise man in this place?

I question Elua - by the way, in the process of talking, the tone is back.

"He didn't mention anything about the prophecy… I guess he just didn't tell us about it"

Spirit Elua gives the answer to my words.

"Probably knew that Whisp was involved in technology in the Holy Kingdom of Liebait. Give me a hand there to those who are doing the same research... because I came here on edge in the old days and above all in a place where there is a Spirit lending a hand to the Holy King. I don't know if I expected you to come, but I'm guessing it meant I had my hands on it beforehand."

"You mean one of a few pieces."

"Probably."

You really have to be thankful...... it's called Lord Forna, and so is this one.

"I knew what you guys were up to, foresaw your faces on this continent, and I was ready on top of that... I don't know how high I was estimating the possibility of going to our place, but if I got anything from the ruins, I'd take the measures... I'm pretty sure I made my way"

"That's the thing...... so, Spirit Elua. Again..."

"Oh, I'll let this one work with you"

The conversation came to a close. I took out the tablet device I brought with me,

"How to handle it or something?

"If you read past memories, you'll see for yourself... Is there anything in this information device that you'd like to know in particular?

"The footage of the time remains in this. The same goes for fixing it to modern language to manipulate, but I especially want a translation of that footage"

"Okay, fine. Let them do their job against the memories they have of how to do it."

"How long?

"I can't say anything without looking at the contents. Nevertheless, do you need to discuss this with Princess Emena? Then let's get down to work while we focus on you."

It might take a while to get the job done, including the amount of data and all that. Yeah, is it best to leave this place to the Spirit Elua?

"Okay. Then I'll come back here when I see what I can do."

"No, let's go directly. Star God... we feel threatened in that regard too. I was just thinking about joining the front when I heard from the sage."

Cooperative and helpful… and here Leese asked Elua a question.

"Can I have one? Though a different herd, my fellow spirits are translating Star God's technology... what do you think of this?

"We spirits are not a single rock. Humans would have a wide variety of political creeds, wouldn't they? One end of it also appears in the battle between the flesh parents: Princess Emena and Prince Livina... it is the same for us. Whoever lent a hand in the translation work would have agreed to use the technology. Just there, I don't know if I wish for the descent of the star god. I don't know..."

"I wonder what's wrong?

"Even if it's unclear, at least if you were helping with the translation work, you could understand what technology it is. We have memories… I mean, we know a lot about the descent of the star gods."

Sure... I was wondering how much Elua's herd knew about the area.

"We at Whisp, even if we possess memories, are close to none of the information related to Star God. Even in the Spirit, it didn't involve so much secularism... just this time one of the herds lent a hand to humans. Perhaps about the descent of the star god… and the possibility that he is after it is well thought out -"
