The Principle of a Philosopher by Eternal Fool “Asley”

Then Porch and I made it to the river, and after a junket with Porch, Porch's victory led us downstream.

Walking along the river, there was a wooden bridge to cross to the meadow across the shore.

"Oh, you're finally close to town!

"Eh, thanks to me beating Junken"

Because of this, it's the so-called "foot junket" that Porch does.

"No, no, no, there was a town upstream."

"Yes, yes, let's do that. Oh, it looks like there's a street, it looks like we should go down here. The other side isn't tidy, so I guess it's the other side."

"Does that mean the place we lived in was an undisclosed place? Eighty years ago, I searched for the right town, so I wasn't sure... but I think I know the title of Immortal Candidate."

"Are you sure you even got that title? I don't feel like a master at all."

No, you're not a dog.

"What do you mean?

"From the moment the demon is used, the personality that was found in the individual is formed. What's so different about Master Sole than his personality? Hmm, you can't say it well."

"People have their own personality. Did you know you were someone other than me in the first place?

"Of course I know. If you see travelers, track them down, and be sure to look at the people around you in words, deeds, or occasional outings. Besides, I know some things about books. That's why the anomaly of the master is noticeably visible to my eyes."

There was some way of saying that I was concerned about the details, but what I'm saying may not be wrong.

Though I was depressed by the excellence of the demon, I was on a journey I had just begun.

When the area began to darken and I began to use light source magic, I discovered that the light of fire was moving violently forward.

"What the hell is that?

"Rotten odor... and this is human... smell? Master, the humans ahead are being attacked by monsters!

"All right, we're getting away with this now!

"No, you wouldn't. So!

"What?

Hmm, Porch's cold gaze hurts. You can no longer say this is a sting.

Apparently, there's an atmosphere where I need to help those humans.

The only thing I could confirm on the front is that there are six Zombie Roads, and because of the proximity of the waterfront, there are many Marine Lizards of Aquatic Monster... there are more than ten of them.

"Please help me!

"Yes, sir. Then make your way out of there."

"Understood."

"... er, ho ho ho ho ho! You guys, run this way. Yikes!!

When I screamed and flew the magic formation, one man and two women surrounded by monsters ran this way from Porch's made exit.

"Airwall!... Ah, yabe! Porch, two spilled!

It activates the flying magic formation and creates an air barrier. We stop the monsters from pursuing us, but the timing is off, and like I said, the two of them have slipped through the barrier.

"You're a rough master to use demons! Oh, you, I got this one!

"Oh, oh, okay!

Pooch is a rough messenger, too. But why did Zombie Lord leave it to a warrior-style man?

Zombie Road would have been closer if it were from Porch's place.

"Hey, Porch, what are you--"

"I don't want to bite a zombie! Your nails will be dirtier than you need them too!

"Oh, I agree with that"

Surely there is a human smell to using demons.

"Fine, master, please, beyond the wall!

He is a master rough user.

"... ho ho ho ho ho. Grand Needle!"

"Become!?

I heard the monsters' extinct screams from the end of a pit that was made on the ground. Inside the hole is needle hell...... there will be no survival.

The pit returns to its original flat when the effect time runs out. At the same time, a bell rang announcing a level increase from the brain.

Porch soon defeated Marine Lizard and a warrior-style man belatedly broke Zombie Road.

"Thank you for your help, Reed."

"Oh, I don't mind - My name is Porch and my master is Azley."

"Hey, that's my line!

"Are the ladies hurt?

You're not listening.

"I'm fine. Lina got hurt more..."

"Sister, this is just a scratch."

"Thank you, could you give Lina some healing magic?

"Master, please"

"Oh, there are three of them and no magicians? Yeah, that wasn't if you were saying that. Hmm... that's a little poisonous."

I can see the fatty sweat from Lina's forehead. Quite a bleed from the right upper arm...... still strong?

The moment I hear of poison, Lina's sister's face tenses strong.

"Hey, are you cured?

"Oh, sister...... erm"

"Oh, I'm Mana."

"Then Mr. Mana hold on to Mr. Lina's arm. Mr. Reed needs to hold Lina tight from her back."

Two people who do as I tell them. Maybe you'll listen to me better than Porch?

"Mr. Lina, it only hurts for a moment. Be prepared."

"Yes."

"... ho, clockback & stop"

"Guh!"

Lina's body bounces bikun. Shortly afterwards, Lina's wound blocked, and on the verge of cutting it off, a deep green liquid burst out of the wound.

All right, thanks to Mana and Reed for holding me back, I don't have to fail.

"It's... healing to the wound..."

"Detoxification magic is supposed to be a recovery, right? Are you sure Lina's cured?

"Now the green liquid would have popped up, wouldn't it? That's the poison. Rest assured."

"Magic combined with detoxification and recovery...... no way, compound magic!? There aren't ten magicians in the world who can use that..."

"Composite magic is the Grand Needle who just defeated the monster. It's just a magic overlay."

Or the composite magic itself shouldn't be that uncommon... but what's going on?

"To compound magic...... overlapping? What if it's reinforcements from the University of Magic?

Something brightened Reed's expression. What do you mean, reinforcements?

"No, I'm not a reinforcement."

"Right, about as many people from the University of Magic can use such higher-level magic!

"How the hell did this wound of mine heal, so rinse?

"Yeah, I just hung the rewind magic on a specific area and the control magic on it. The amount of blood I bled from the recovery won't go back, so I thought it would be better to restore the blood with rewind magic, even with some pain."

Hmm, apparently you don't understand much, do you? Everyone is tilting their necks.

Feels like I saw it. Reed, Mana and Lina are like warriors, so I don't know if you're familiar with magic. But... I get the impression that it's become a world where magic is rare, called talking about magic college earlier.

"I don't know about rewinding, but control magic is lost ancient magic! Oh, you... who is it?

Ugh... this is starting to feel like trouble. It's an atmosphere that needs to be less visible.

Do we have to get Porch to do something about this place? Um, I don't know what else to do.

I blindfolded Porch and asked for help. Porch seemed to notice it, too, so he lay down his eyes and sighed one.

"We are the magicians of the journey and their messengers. It has nothing to do with college, but please refrain from asking questions about the details of your journey"

"But..."

"Brother, I got help because of you. Let's not talk about that."

"That's right, brother!

I see. Three brothers and sisters?

Reed gets the impression that he can count on his brother at the top. Big body, muscular. Are you cutting your brown hair unconstructively? It's a bummer.

Mana feels like a sister... Somehow, she's a very fleshy body, she's going to flirt with a guy, that's the impression. Long colored hair mixed with tea and red is also applauding it.

Lina is a little warrior with a slightly thin impression of the line. No matter how you look at it, her body hasn't welcomed an adult (fifteen). I feel uncomfortable with long swords that are not compatible with my body. The hair looks similar to my sister's, but it seems to be fastened with a short collar and foot.

"Yeah, I got it. I'm sorry you had to help me, Azley."

"What brings you here, Master Azley?

Lina's words tickle her body. I don't care what you think, I'm not a "like" pattern.

"I've been away from the lower realm for a long time, and I started my journey to spread the word. I seem to have lost my way, but I finally found the street and ran into you."

It's a boulder pouch. You explained what's going on while you lay low.

Or it's all true.

"Was it..."

"Are you...? Seems like a light outfit from what I've seen, and I'd like you to let me know if the crowd is close..."

"Oh, oh... we're from Falltown. It's not as good as town anymore... but if it's a favor for your life, don't say no. Let me show you around."

"Not anymore now...?

In my words, the three of them leaned down and answered.

I could have predicted from the word reinforcements... now that they are... that the lives of these three people are extremely harsh. For those reasons, both me and Porch refrained from further questions.

Because if you go to Falltown, you'll see how it goes.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

We were walking down the street while maintaining the light source magic.

Reed walked in the lead, putting Lina and Mana on both sides and me behind them, and at the rear of the line, the Porch of the highest power refrained.

I also wanted to know the current strength of the war, so I snuck out from behind the three of them and used my appraisal glasses.

Is Smash Slash an original special skill? I don't think I've ever heard of it.

I guess this means max HP because I put a heel on everyone.

Probably the closest stat to me. Is MP higher than Reed still a woman's trait?

The sex of a woman has an MP advantage.

――――――――――――――――――――

In the first place, there would be no way for this kid to wander around here.

But this kid's MP is unusual for a warrior. Probably suitable for magicians as qualities. Why didn't you become a magician?

At this age, it shouldn't be too late.

"Master...... Master"

Porch speaks in a low voice.

"What's the matter with you?

"It's not a very good hobby. I understand your intentions, but I think you should get their approval."

"Oh sorry... I'll be careful"

"Fine."

Certainly wouldn't be a good hobby. Permission is required when peeking into the opponent's abilities…?

"Huh? I found a monster up front, the numbers are one thing... big!

You have a loud voice. Then it's like you're telling me to find it. The light source magic I'm activating right now doesn't look like a monster because it overlays invisible magic...

But you're really big. What the hell is that?

Fly the light source magic forward, but as soon as I realized it was a clever, poached night at the rear.

"Kimyra! It's already been noticed! Attention!

It was a large monster that would have eight meters, with a lion's head, a goat's torso and a viper's tail, that appeared in the front.

That's a monster worth Rank B, I guess it means that if you have two Level 40 warriors and one magician, you can handle it.

I have a pouch this time and I wonder if it's a problem.

"Damn, you've come this far!

"Reed, escort Mana and Lina! Porch, get out front and buy some time!

"I understand!

"Copy that!

Anyway, Mana. Lina has a tight face with fear. There will be no choice in this. Fighting among those with low levels is first and foremost a challenge for their escorts.

"Gaaaaaaaa!"

Porch's special skill "Huge". If it's a pouch that's grown to about six meters, I might knock it down before I activate magic.

Well, in Porch's case, you really only buy time. I guess it's because you want me to earn my experience.

Kimyra also looked frightened by the puzzling dog wolf that appeared in the front. This is...

"Ho ho ho! Hexagonal junction!"

A magic (,) formation appearing in a positive hexagon at the foot of Kimyra emits a blue and white lightning bolt and envelops Kimyra. Restrictions on Kimyra's hands, feet, tail and mouth, as if restrained.

"All right, knock me down now!

Kimyra is a monster with a very powerful magic resistance. Of course, these sorceries exist as countermeasures to such monsters.

Unlike magic, magic is activated by depicting the magic (,) formations of the six stars.

"Ko, this is haha!?

"Hurry up, it won't last very long!

"Oh, oh!

"I'm coming, brother!

Reed and Mana make a brave scream and go towards Kimyra.

After all, Lina seems to be losing her hips. I stand in front of Lina and be alert to the destruction of Kimaira's junction.

"Lina, it's okay not to be scared. It's a monster you can take down if you deal with it accurately."

"Ah... there is..."

"GOOOOOOOO!"

Lina's gratitude was undone by the roar of Kimyra, which Reid and Mana were slashing. But it looks like the bond is still in effect.

A blue-white lightning bolt tying Kimyra is still shining a bee and light as it cuts off.

"Master, lay it up!

Magic overlays and all that high-tech stuff, I can't do it, you idiot!

"Ho ho ho! Ugh, a corner of the ice column!

The magic formations that flew over Kimyra's head magnified more than the size they drew, and a giant ice-cold poured out of it.

Kimyra's torso was pierced by an ice column, along with a tremendous noise that rocked the soil.

"You said, success! Now. Ahhh!

The two of them were upset by the emergence of the ice-column, but they were in the next act sooner than my call arrived.

"Colour-in!

"Ha!

The battle was decided when Mana pierced the lion's head.

At the same time, the sound of a level up rang in my head. Sounds like you were wasting your strength because it was definitely all research. I guess this will also be out of level strength as Porch calls it.

"It's over, Lina."

I put my hand on Lina's shoulder and rang out to make sure she didn't scare me.

"Ha... Yes, thank you..."

The girl with tears in her eyes takes my hand and slowly rises.

I guess I would have been in this condition if I was about this age, too. I try to remember myself emotionally five thousand years ago, but my memory seemed too old to be fogging my memories.

"Yay, it's Kimyra's horns and fangs! With this, me, Lina and my brother's gear will moisturize!

"Mana, the greatest effect of this battle lies in Azley and Porch. Give away the rare material to Azley."

"Yeah... so..."

The look on Mana's face with the horns and fangs of Kimyra darkens.

"Oh, I don't mind, that's for the three of you to use. I'll get Kimyra's eyes."

"Eye balls!? Haven't you ever heard of that material?

"Can't you see that Kimyra's eyes are a necessary material for a weapon enhancement ceremony..."

"Master, you should be a little more thoughtful"

After I said it, I noticed it too!

Damn, whatever it is, it's troublesome.

It was the three of us in Kyoton, but I'm relieved that the shrinking phenomenon of Porch seemed to distract us from consciousness.

"But it really helped. It's a real pleasure to have fought against my father."

"... did you have such a past"

"A few years ago, he attacked Falltown. My father, who was the strongest in town at the time, retired brilliantly because of the wounds in that battle..."

"Hey, wait a minute! Kimyra attacked the town? What the hell is the guild doing!? If we take care of it, we're not supposed to be the ones we can't take down, are we?

"Master, that story will be good later. We should head to Falltown first."

Yes, it was. I was digging back on what I had decided earlier. There's no reason to be flattered.

You're a real idiot, I...

"Oh, I'm sorry... let's hurry up..."

We started walking in the same formation again, and we went for Falltown.

On the way, Lina slowed down her pause and came down to my neighbor.

"Um... don't worry too much"

I felt a little saved by Lina, who whispered embarrassingly.
