Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

"... Phew"

Looking up from the report at hand, Sophia exhaled one sigh.

If I were to put my current state of mind in words, what would it be?

I know it's something that brought me back trouble, but you can't blame me just fine.

With that in mind, I drop my gaze at hand to check the contents again.

That was the case - the backdrop to Lina's kidnapping.

I have already checked it once, so although I am not surprised now, it is not like I accidentally leaked my sigh.

I went out of my way to document rather than verbal reports in the first place, because depending on the circumstances, they were likely to be problematic.

Camilla, who is also the author of this document, brought Lina back to the territory where the demons live.

It would be natural to assume the worst at that point.

"Well it didn't seem to suck..."

It's good news to find out that the other side didn't do that in hopes of war.

But what was written instead was never pleasing.

The presumed aim of the opponent is the resurrection of the former Demon King.

Besides, he said it was likely that he was a follower of the cult that was planning it.

Those who truly worship and believe in cults, not made up.

A true antagonist of humanity, hoping for the collapse of the world.

In addition, he said that there was a Magic Heavenly General.

I guess the fourth seat means that Sophia took that seat instead of destroying it... modestly, it would be like the worst step ahead of her.

"It would be just too convenient to think of this as a coincidence... perhaps the roots of the wicked are stretched out to a considerable part of the demons"

It is more natural to assume that one of the few cults has accidentally become a Demon Heavenly General than to assume that the number of cults is increasing enough to be elected as Demon Heavenly General.

Or perhaps it is not in the form of fabrication, nor is it such a distant story that the Demons really become the enemies of mankind.

Still now, though, that's one possibility.

I will pass on that concern just in case, but I do not intend to take any further action.

Well, if the Demon Heavenly Admiral is alive, the story was different, but it means that he destroyed it, so it won't be necessary.

Tell me that's one of the good news.

"... Nevertheless, if you submit this as it is, Camilla will be considered defeated"

So I smiled bitterly, because I don't think that's possible in Camilla.

Instead, Sophia thinks Camilla has enough talent to make it possible.

This is an objective assessment if you look at it as one of the Seven Heavens without looking at it as a friend.

That's why Sophia invited Camilla to this mansion in the first place.

I don't know how Camilla understands it, but as a Sophia, I appreciate Camilla not as a skill appraiser, but as a fighter.

However, as for Camilla, it seems that she has given up on that path at all...... so if it had been Camilla so far, the format of this report would have been slightly different.

It must have been in a clearly discerning format that someone who wasn't Camilla defeated him.

What hasn't happened is that if you embezzle that handle, it's also possible to see it that way... different as Sophia's perception.

It doesn't matter if they recognize it that way... it seemed like something similar to a statement of determination because it would actually happen sooner or later.

It may be my fault, of course, and I'm not going to bother to check that.

I hope so.

Whatever... it's obvious at the time you're thinking about it, Sophia is almost certain that someone other than Camilla is involved in this case.

It's not in the report, but I'm pretty sure it is.

Even though he's talented in the first place, there's not a single thing Camilla can do to beat General Demon Heaven in the present situation.

That is why it is almost certain that there was someone who defeated General Satanic Heaven.

If I say it at last, there will be no need to speculate as to who it is.

"If Camilla got up, I guess that means she saw something there.... I broke it and you fix it. In a way, I wonder if this is ironic."

Sophia's face, whining like that, is somewhere lonely.

That is probably because I saw that at the end of the day, which is described as an additional report, whilst saying that it has nothing to do with this case.

But Sophia looked at the report one last time and crushed it as it was.

Moments, flames overflow in your hands, turning all of them into dust.

Open your hands and the wreckage will fall apart, but even that can disappear.

And that was the real end of this case.

There was nothing from the beginning, such as this one.

I mean, that's what I mean.

It is just a coincidence that Lina was captured, and all those who plotted it are doomed.

Then it's the best thing to do.

I just had an extra quarrel with the demons, because it is about those who are hostile to this country who rejoice.

I protest secretly to the Devil's side, of course, but that's all.

There is no such thing as war...... it will settle down in two places: lending, combined with this information.

Same with regard to the last thing that was written.

Sophia didn't get any reports.

So where there is one less person from the mansion, it is not for Sophia to know.

Well, in the first place, someone who wasn't supposed to exist just really ceases to exist.

For this House, nothing will change.

Yes... just for a little while, I'm just gonna miss Sophia for some reason.

"... it was originally too narrow for you. Go, and you know it. the breadth of the world. That's where you can really shine."

I knew that one day this would come.

Then all that's left is the difference between late or early.

So Sophia closed her eyes.

I'm in a position where I can't even pray for safety on the road, but where I'm going, with a little more luck, I hope.

It was a little later that I realized that Sophia like that was missing another person from the mansion.

"Well, is it time to go?"

Returning her luggage to her shoulders, Soma said so looking back.

The Forest of Demons, in its frontiers.

At the end of his gaze is a girl dressed just like Soma.

Aina, carrying baggage packed with clothes, etc. on her shoulder, stares at Soma with an anxious face.

It's not like Eina is most anxious because she's going on a journey.

No, of course there is.

"Hey...... are you sure?

For such a few inquiries, Soma just shrugged her shoulders.

Because I've checked many times and the answer to Soma will never change.

"I mean, if I told you to stop here or something, I'd be too old for you? So much for getting ready, telling your teacher to say goodbye, and I knew I stopped it, or what face are you telling him to go back?

"That's... maybe it is. So, but, look... yes, I didn't say anything to Lina."

"Uh, yeah, that's something my whole life thought a little backwards, but I don't need it anymore, or what..."

……

Aina tilting her neck surprisingly, but I dare say Soma wasn't going to tell the details.

I told him when I told him. So, because I know it's gonna be trouble again.

Well, if it was meant to be, after telling you that, that way - I guess we should do something about the little figure hiding behind us, but I wasn't sure I could stop him from hating.

Or I only saw a future that I was forced to follow where I stopped, so I decided to give up.

Maybe that's what I told whoever it was, and I'll do it.

Exhales when something completely weird has become similar.

"You don't have to worry about it. In the first place, what are you going to do if my senior doesn't go with me?

"Well, that... that... we'll do something about it. A year ago, something happened to me."

"Would that be a story on that side? This side would be completely inexperienced."

"That's true... but when I say that, you're not alike"

"My life has learned a lot. So even if we don't have experience, we'll figure it out... so does Eina properly understand common sense on the human side?

"Ugh..."

I guess I'm stuck in words because I have a proper sense of that.

Should I rejoice in that, or mourn where I know but am compelled?

Well, either way, it won't change the conclusion.

"... or you don't need me to travel that way in the first place. Well... if it's too much, it's dangerous."

"I don't deny that, but if you say why you decided to travel this side in the first place, because Eina flowed to the stream a year ago to reach that village, so if you were to travel further from there, you'd have to come to this side?

"... yes it is"

I exhale into my bad predicate attitude, but, well, that's what I meant.

After rescuing Aina and the others, the night dawned.

From now on, Soma and Aina will travel through the territory on the human side.

Aina decided that the next time something similar happened, it would be because she might cause trouble to that village this time.

They say there's no choice to go back from the beginning.

For a different reason than the one that once came out.

I stopped by that village in the middle of the night, and everything I brought is among the things I carry.

At last, he left only a note without seeing the old couple he took care of.

... Well, I guess that's what he's saying.

I feel strangely slow to come back or my eyes were red, but that's my fault.

"In the first place, are you sure you're okay with traveling or something? It hasn't happened since we fell."

"Well, it does hurt a lot everywhere in the body, but it will be fine enough to travel. It seems quite safe for a while, and it will heal in the meantime."

When we rescued Aina and the others, Soma fell at the end of the day, but that was because he took off his wings too much because of anger, in short.

It should have gotten a lot better this past year, but because of all the things that happened, they still couldn't stand that level of stuff in this body.

But still, it's not so much that I can't move because of muscle aches this time, and there won't be any problems.

On the road until I got back here, about half of it was with someone's hand, but I've already recovered from that, too.

Although there is some muscle pain, it is acceptable.

Why Soma is about to embark on a journey, by the way, because he heard it where he thought he might also embark on a journey and thought it was a ship on the crossing.

The fact that the two kids would still be better than traveling with one child and... the rest was simply because I thought Soma was worried about Eina, so I decided to travel with them.

Well, I could say that Soma decided unilaterally, but it was something Camilla agreed with.

That's how I left it to Camilla to gather only the minimum amount of stuff I needed... but at one point Eina also succeeded in rounding it up...

"Hmm... I see. So how about this?

"... what is it?

"I hope Eina travels on her own"

"... Huh?

Although you resisted, you didn't actually think they would say that, Aina's face is slightly cloudy.

But when Soma smiled bitterly at it...

"So, my senior travels on his own. Well, Eina and I might end up going the same way by chance... but it's a coincidence, so we can't help it."

"... what the hell, it's not the same thing after all"

"I mean give it up honestly. Or what do you hate so much? Would Eina also understand that she was convinced once, and that they were better off than one?

"It is, but... because"

"Because?"

"... if I could just, you know, annoy Soma."

"... ha"

To the words, Soma exhaled a thoughtful sigh.

- Not at all.

"Look, it's going"

"Oh, hey......!?

I was already in trouble, so when I grabbed that hand, I walked out forcefully.

As Eina panicked, she opened her mouth to complain.

"I don't think it's more annoying where it happened than my whole life wants to follow. Besides, it's getting late to help this time. Not for that matter... but this time, where something happens, I'll protect you right next to it."

"Ahhhhhhhh, yeah..."

When I say that and nod, I grip back the clap that I've been gripping back, just a little harder.

Then he exhaled a small, unnoticed degree of sighing by Aina.

I don't have to wonder what you're doing until you're reincarnated into another world... well, there's no choice.

Unlike in previous lives, we can no longer just aspire to one thing.

Of course you can do it the same if you want to... but if you do that, you will definitely not be able to forgive yourself.

And most importantly, I don't hate Soma for what he's doing or for what he's doing.

With that in mind, I look up into the sky.

What is spreading there was a blue sky on one side, similar to the last I saw in that world.

However, it is not the opponent who should be defeated, but the one who should be protected.

That, and the fact that we're going to be three soon, would be a different point when it comes to differences.

Really, it's not like it was in my previous life.

Neither the destination you should be aiming for, nor even your fingertips at that starting point.

It's full of different things.

But well, or maybe that's why it's good.

It's a reincarnation in the corner, a different world.

Then... there will be another one of these.

"... God was in heaven, and the world was nothing?"

"What?

"It's nothing... it's just that it's a corner, and I just thought it would be a fun journey"

"Ah... uh, yeah... right!

That's not what I said to mislead you, that's what I really thought.

So Soma also grinned at the smile he had looked back on and at the signs that it was time to come closer.
