When Sol heard Torsa’s words, somehow he felt more nostalgic than surprised. At the same time, he remembered the words he had been told in a previous life.
[Do you like that game? My house is so strict about games, they don’t let me buy them. ……
I don’t mind if you spoil it, so tell me about your adventures and stuff!]
It was in the spring of Yuto’s first year of high school when Satoru approached him like that. At that time, Yuto was reading the novel version of “Lian’s” by himself, not even bothering to join the conversation of his classmates.
Satoru did not just care about the lonely Yuto. He had a twinkle in his eye, genuinely interested and wanting to know what Yuuto liked.
The same eyes that Satoru had at that moment were also in Torsa’s. Sol also laughed at Torsa.
“Okay! In return, tell me what you like about Torsa!”
“Eh!? I don’t have anything interesting to tell you. ……”
“That’s not true! I want to get closer to Torsa! That’s why I want to know more about Torsa!”
He said this in his true colors, but with all sincerity. He wanted to get to know Torsa, who was more like Satoru, than Zed or Lacto.
Torsa laughed at Sol’s words.
The two talked about many things. When Sol talked about his adventures, the sparkle in Tolsa’s eyes became even stronger.
Originally, Torsa liked stories that depicted adventures. He especially liked stories in which a hero comes out and defeats a demon king, and he had read many novels about it. And Sol’s adventures seemed like the world of the stories, and he had always been curious about them.
“Ah, a wimp and a shady character are getting along so well! Is Sol one of them?”
Sol heard such laughter in the distance. Zed said this intentionally in a voice that Sol and the others could hear.
But Sol was having so much fun talking with Torsa that he didn’t even care about the sound of their laughter. Sol was so engrossed in the conversation with Torsa that he felt nostalgic.

“Sol!”
Sol looked up at the familiar voice calling Sol. It was Celes who called Sol, and the three of them had returned with a lot of luggage.
Celes looked at Torsa, who was standing next to Sol, and smiled.
“Nice to meet you. You must be a friend of Sol’s, right?”
“Hee!! Oh, um, …….”
When Celes said this, Torsa was at a loss for words for a moment.
Sol immediately understood the reason for Torsa’s hesitation. When it was still early days when he had started talking to Satoru in his previous life, he had met Satoru’s mother and asked the same question. At that time, Yuto did not know whether he could say that he was friends with Satoru, so he said nothing, just like Torsa does now.
However, Satoru, who was walking next to him, said with a big smile that Yuto was his friend. His words made him happy, and he still remembers that day vividly.
And now he is Sol, a man who can be friends with anyone and is loved by everyone. Torsa must have wanted to be friends with him
And for Sol, Torsa was already a friend. So he wanted to do for Torsa what Satoru had done for him in his previous life.
“My friend! His name is Torsa
He likes to talk about our adventures, so I was telling him all about our adventures!”
When Sol said this, Torsa’s eyes widened in surprise for a moment. But soon after that, he smiled happily.
Seeing Torsa like that, Sol felt relieved inside. Even though he was Sol now, he was still a person who was not well-liked by anyone. He was acting as Sol, so he could say it, but in truth he was a little unsure if he could say that he was friends with Torsa. However, seeing how happy Torsa looked, it seemed that he was able to act as Sol.
After that, they talk with Torsa, and then parted. Torsa had no problem getting along with the other three.
“Hey, Sol.”
Celes calls out to Sol
“What’s up?”
“You were talking to some other people earlier, weren’t you? Are they your friends, too, ……?”
“Eh……?”
When he said “others,” he probably meant Zed and Lacto. The only other people besides those two and Torsa that he has not talked to in a long time.
But considering the setting of Sol, they were friends.
“Oh, um, well, ……, friend …….”
What came out of Sol’s mouth was a curt reply that did not sound like Sol. The real Sol would have said friend without hesitation. However, because the real Sol was a man with a kind heart, he couldn’t really call her a friend.
Wouldn’t he have thought it was strange? Sol thought so, and glanced at Celes.
“I see……”
But Celes said only that and did not ask any more questions. Sol was relieved.
At the same time, a question arose. When was Celes watching him talking with Zed and Lacto?
The place where the stores where shopping was available was a little far from here. So he thought they were not nearby, but had they come back once for some reason?
If possible, it would be better if they had not heard any of his communication with those two men. Sol hoped so. He did not want Celes to hear that vulgar and stupid exchange.
