Sol then left Torsa and returned to his home. He was worried that Celes might say something to him, but that Celes was nowhere to be found.
Relieved, but wondering where she had gone, Sol asked Carla, who was lying on the sofa
“Hey, what happened to Celes?”
“Huh, Celes? She was in the shape of a demon just now.”
“Did Celes looked like a demon!? No way! Did she have a stomach ache?”
Even if Celes got angry, she wasn’t the type to get angry enough to be described as having the appearance of a demon. If anything, it’s an image of someone quietly angry. That’s why he’s a little worried about Celes, who has an expression that makes Carla think she’s a demon.
Lepios, who had been standing some distance away, came over to Sol with a loud sigh.
“Your lips are a little chapped, aren’t they? Is something wrong?”
“Hee? Oh, uh, I didn’t notice it….
Maybe when we went to the tower?
The cause was probably because he got punched when he argued with Zedd earlier. However, as expected, Sol couldn’t say that and immediately lied.
Seeing Sol, Lepios sighed loudly again. Then, when Lepios put his hand on Sol’s cheek, even the discomfort disappeared in an instant due to recovery magic.
“Do not perform such injurious acts too often.”
Sol tilted his head at Lepios’ words.
“No, it’s not as exaggerated as this ……. Injuries worse than this are a common occurrence in combat. ……”
“I don’t mean that. Ha, this is not enough no matter how many stomachs I have.”
“Stomach? Why?”
Sol said this and Lepios sighed loudly for what seemed like the umpteenth time.
“I stopped her. Haha. Well, it’s none of my business.”
“Eh, seriously, what! What’s wrong!”
“Nothing. Even you haven’t told us your secret. It’s a cute little secret compared to that.”
“Ugh. ……”
Indeed, a few days ago, Sol had just told Lepios and the others that he couldn’t tell them why he risked his life. he feels like this is a different story, but once he said that, he couldn’t say anything.
After a while, Celes came back with a satisfied smile on her face, the opposite of the devil’s expression. He did not ask why she had run away or anything special, and Sol was a little relieved. And so time passed as usual, as they ate and prepared for bed.
In the end, Sol did not understand the meaning of Lepios’ sigh or the reason why Celes left with a devilish look on her face. But from then on, the two of them were as usual.
As for Lepios, he did not know, but at least Celes must have had a stomachache. Sol thought about that.
◆
The matter at the tower was to be reported to the state regarding the appearance of Samael’s body and Celes’ considerations. The government was going to investigate the whereabouts of Behe
However, it would be difficult to catch him. He is good at magic related to soil, so he creates sandstorms and flees immediately. That is why, even in the original story, they were always defeated in every event
Sol and his team went to investigate the next tower where the traces of the previous tower remained. When Sol and his friends finished getting ready and went outside, Sol’s mother was just coming home from work.
“I’m sorry to bother you”
With that, the three of them, except for Sol, lightly bowed and went outside first. They must have been concerned about seeing his mother for the first time in a long time. But Sol had nothing to say.
Sol’s mother looked at him, smiled kindly, and opened her mouth.
“You can come home later this time. This time I was at work because all of your friends are here, but when you are alone, I will manage to take at least one day off.”
Ah, what the heck. The reason she was not at home this much was because she was concerned about Celes and the others.
While thinking so, Sol laughed inwardly and wondered if he was only going to be home for one day even if he did go home slowly.
But the real Sol might have been happy. But Sol was old enough to be on his own in this world. And he is not at the age to be happy when his mother comes home.
“It’s fine. Mom’s pace is fine. You don’t have to go out of your way to accommodate me.”
”B-But..! I just wanted to hear about your trip!”
Sol had never heard her say such a thing in his memory. No matter how much he looked into Sol’s memory, all he saw was his mother’s back as she moved around, taking a back seat to Sol.
“Sol ……? Are you mad about something? Or is something wrong? This doesn’t seem like Sol.”
Sol’s mother said anxiously to Sol, who said nothing.
You’re late. Too late. If only she had said a few words of concern for Sol when he was the real Sol. If she had said it at a much younger age, Sol might not have had to accept being made fun of like that with a smile.
Enough said. It’s not like that, his mother is just a mob character who has nothing to do with the story. Surely not playing would not affect the storyline.
“Mom. Sol, who smiles and says it’s okay to put up with being lonely, is no longer here.”
“Ah ……”
Sol’s mother looked confused and hurt by Sol’s words. But she didn’t have the heart to say anything, so he silently opened the door.
There, the first thing that met his eyes was Celes, who was looking at his anxiously. Behind his, Lepios and Carla also looked at Sol with concern.
“A-Ahaha. Sorry, I made you wait.”
Had they overheard my conversation with my mother? He wondered if they had overheard his mother’s conversation, but he quickly played the “Sol” card.
But Celes said nothing and hugged him tightly.
“I will always be with you. I’ll always be there for you, even when you’re happy, even when you’re in pain”
“….Thank you.”
Celes’s words were warm, and even the Yuto inside Sol felt gently enveloped. If there was a real Sol’s soul somewhere out there, he wanted to tell him that he had someone who loved him so much.
