“…. Sorry. It’s time to really go.”
After a few moments, Sol moved away from Celes. Then he smiled at the three of them.
The three of them must have guessed what was going on at the tower. But Sol was a little relieved that they didn’t ask him anything deeper.
“Sol kun!”
Sol looked up when he heard a voice that should not have been here. It was still morning, but Torsa was there.
“Torsa!”
Sol also rushed toward Torsa.
“What are you doing here so early in the morning?”
“You said you were leaving this morning, so I wanted to see you one last time.”
Sol smiled at Torsa.
Torsa was a mob character whose name was not mentioned in the original story. Although they had not spent much time talking, it felt like they had been friends for a long time, perhaps because their personalities and hobbies were similar to Satoru’s. He was also the first character that Sol became friends with regardless of the scenario.
It was Torsa who came all the way to see him before his departure. It seemed that Torsa thought of Sol as a friend as well, which made him happy.
“We exchanged contact information, so call me anytime!”
“Yeah! Tell me more about your adventures!”
“Of course! I’ll collect lots of stories!”
Sol had no intention of returning to the city. He had already had some adventures, so he would be able to survive on his own and not have to worry about finding a job.
But, he had the convenient magic of transferring magic. He could return to the city just to have time to talk with Torsa.
Then another set of footsteps approached Sol. When he looked in that direction, he saw Zed and Lacto, with whom he had supposedly had an argument yesterday. Sol glared at them as he stood in front of Torsa, wondering if they had come to say something again.
“Y-yo. Sol.”
But Zedd said to Sol with a smile as if he was trying to make up for it. Lacto, for some reason, was also standing behind Zedd with a nervous look on his face.
“What can I do for you ……?
“No, no, I just wanted to apologize for going a little overboard yesterday! We go way back, don’t we? I hope you’ll forgive me!”
Zedd put his hand on Sol’s shoulder. Sol felt a little weird about this change in Zedd, and he was wary that there might be more to it than meets the eye.
“Oh, no, you’re in a lot of trouble, too,”
Zed muttered in a whisper.
“Ha? What?”
“Oh, no, it’s nothing. I’m just trying to make Sol’s life happy.”
“Eh, What? I don’t feel good about this.”
As expected, Zed is acting weird, and Sol distances himself from him. Lacto, who was always following Zed and teasing Sol, was nodding his head for some reason.
“Well, that’s it! Well then!”
With that, Zedd and Lacto disappeared as if they were running away.
“What was that?”
Sol looked at their backs, wondering what they meant. The two men, who showed no signs of teasing, were like two different people.
“…. nothing’s been done to Torsa since then, right?”
“Oh, yeah. Well, I don’t know, it was yesterday. ……”
“Well, that’s okay. If you need anything, you let me know.”
“Yeah. Thanks.”
After such an exchange, Sol also parted from Torsa. He then hurriedly went to Celes and the others, saying that he had made them wait again.
When he looked at Celes and the others, Carla was as normal as ever, but Celes looked satisfied for some reason, and Lepios had a wrinkle between his eyebrows.
“I’m sorry! I made you wait! What’s up with …… Celes and Lepios?”
Sol said, and Lepios sighed loudly for some reason.
“No, nothing about you. …… Celes. If you go too far, Sol won’t like you.”
Sol nodded his head at Lepios’ words. He had no recollection of Celes ever doing anything
“Why would I hate Celes?”
“No, it’s okay if you don’t notice. If you are not aware of it.”
At Lepios’ words, Sol looked at Celes. Contrary to his earlier expression, Celes looked a little anxious.
The “too much” of Celes could be described as too much meddling. She is stuck in the habit of being a big sister when she is with her family, and she puts up with too much, tries too hard, and does too much. Sometimes she treats those around her as if they were little children, and in the original story, she was particularly angry at Sol for treating her like a little child.
However, in the present world, knowing this characterization, he sometimes helped Celes, who was patient and tried too hard. No, maybe it is not the same as helping. In reality, he wanted to enjoy the gap between Celes and his former life, using his knowledge of his previous life as a pretext to help her. He wanted to be thanked, to hold her hand, and so on
Perhaps the reason why Torsa, Zed, and Lacto came this time was because Sol said he did not want to stay here, and Celes called those whom he said were his friends before he left.
How could he dislike such a kind Celes? As a person who is kind, he wants to spoil Celes, who works hard for someone like that.
“I like Celes, no matter what she is! I don’t know what she’s hiding, but that one thing will never change!”
“Really ……?! I’m so happy ……!”
Sol’s words made Celes feel at ease, and she gave a big, happy smile.
“promise,……? I will never, ever, ever forget that Sol said that!”
“Oh, of course!”
Sol laughed along with her, too, because she looked so happy.
