It was Odie who appeared to help the child.
Odie kicked the wolf-shaped demon that tried to jump on the child. He then thrust his hand toward the heart of the demon.
Instantly, emerald green blood, characteristic of demons, splattered as if the demon had been cut open.
In this world, everyone has magical power, big or small, and even fighters release techniques that contain magical power. Odie probably put magic into his hands.
With this in mind, Sol also embraced the child behind Odie as if to protect him. Then, he defeated the demons that attacked from another direction. A short distance away, I could hear Celes, Kara, and Lepios fighting.
When there were no more demons around, Sol was relieved and loosened his hold on the child.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine! More importantly, your magic is really cool! I wish I could use strong magic too!”
Sol was relieved to hear the child’s optimistic words. He is sure that the child has not been traumatized by the situation. Odie, who was fighting behind him, relaxed a little and let out a relieved breath.
Sol glanced at Odie. He glanced at Sol and looked away awkwardly.
Should I say something? Sol opened his mouth to speak.
“Odie!”
Carla’s cheerful voice came between Sol and Odie.
“Hey hey! What was that move you just did? How did you do that!”
“Ah, no, …….”
“You put a little magic into that last one! More than that, the kick before that, eh, what do you call it? That made it dong to the vital point ……! And there wasn’t much of a gap ……!”
Odie gave a small sigh at Carla’s words.
“It’s not a big deal. Since it walked on all fours, I just kicked it up at the base of its front legs so that its heart was pointing towards me. There were other monsters, so I didn’t want to jump up or make any big, clumsy movements.”
“I knew Odie was great! He comes up with all kinds of tricks very quickly! I’m not very good at making moves! I wonder if with practice I’ll be able to do it.”
“Carla will be able to do it in no time. It will took much less time than it took me to learn.”
Odie probably said those words with a sneer. But Carla, preoccupied with his new skill, was oblivious to Odie’s feelings.
“Ehehe I wonder if that’s true. Then I’ll go practice right away!”
“Ha? Now!? I think I’d better take a break……”
“I can’t wait to practice!”
With that, Carla took off at a run. Odie looked at Carla’s back for a moment in surprise, but then looked away again.
Sol called out to Odie.
“Odie san. Would you like to go and watch Carla’s training?”
“Ha ……? No, why ……?”
“I don’t think you’ve ever seen it before, have you, Odie san? You’ve never seen how the genius Carla is getting better at what she does.”
“That’s …….”
Odie looked down at Sol’s words.
If possible, Sol wanted Odie to know. How Carla had worked so hard to get where she was. He wanted him to see and know the person who had given him the courage to do what he did, and at least then he could make a judgment about everything.
“I understood. If you insist, I’ll take a look.”
Odie sighed.
“Having said that, where did Carla go ……?”
“Probably this way.”
Sol walks off into the city. As for the location, he didn’t ask Carla, he only learned about it from a game he played in a previous life, but it’s probably in the woods behind the dojo.
“Why …….”
Odie asked Sol behind him as he began to walk ahead of him.
“Why are you so involved with me and not Carla?”
“Eh?”
“You’re Carla’s friend, aren’t you? I know it myself.
I know my feelings for Carla are twisted and selfish. I know that I hurt Carla with my selfishness. So why aren’t you angry with me? Why don’t you just take Carla’s side?”
Sol tilted his head at these words, wondering why. Surely, if he was taking Carla’s side, Sol could have been angry with Odie. But he didn’t feel the same anger toward Odie that he felt toward Zed and Lacto. Naturally…….
At this thought, Sol laughed at Odie, as if he were troubled.
“I’m not convinced, either.”
“Eh ……?”
“I can’t accept that you shouldn’t compare or that time will solve the problem. I’m not mature enough to be convinced. So I can kind of understand Odie-san’s feelings…”
When Sol said this, Odie looked at him for a moment as if surprised.
“So that was it. ……”
Then Odie looked a little more relaxed.
“….Sol san. You don’t have to be respectful to me. You are not much older than Carla, are you? I’m just one year older than Carla.”
Sol was glad to hear Odie say that, because he felt as if he had been forgiven.
“I understand! Then, be my guest! So that means Odie is the same age as me, right? No honorifics from Odie to me, either!”
“I understand. Thanks…..”
“Me too! Thanks! then, let’s go!”
With that, Sol pulled Odie’s hand and started to run.
