“……For now, let’s just report this matter to the state as it is and we’ll go home. Sol wouldn’t want to be in a place like this, would he?”
Celes said and took Sol’s hand. Then, she took Sol’s hand and started to walk down the tower.
But Sol, still not quite refreshed, turned around and stared at the room with nothing but feathers and dark green blood.
Then Lepios approached Sol. The sight was hidden by Lepios, who was taller than he was.
“Sol. Is something still bothering you?”
“Ah, no. ……”
Sol had no choice but to face forward. He began to walk, pulled along by Celes. However, that didn’t stop him from thinking about the thing that had once bothered him.
“Even if Behe was behind this, I wonder why he did it. Not only did he target me, but I don’t understand the point of killing a comrade who had been resurrected from the dead.”
“…… Sol. Behe is evil. I don’t know what evil is thinking. Maybe he used Paz as his next sacrifice.”
I’m sure Celes is right about that. Because the story is the same.
Perhaps it was slightly different from the original story, and he had a problem with Paz? But the reason Paz was sacrificed in the original story was because Paz asked him to do so. So it was hard to imagine Behe forcibly sacrificing Paz. When you think about it, Behe is like a different person …….
As soon as Sol thought of this, one possibility came to mind. The only time there is a change from the original is when Sol moves differently than he did in the original. But this time, he did not do anything different from the original. Then, if Behe also knew the original story and dared to move differently from the original story, it was not so strange.
There was nothing strange about that. Since he himself had been reincarnated in this world, there was a possibility that Behe was also a reincarnated person. If that was the case, it would not be surprising if he was working to avoid his own death and the original work changed there. If he had already succeeded in raising Levia from the dead, the Demon King would be revived by sacrificing Levia, even if Behe himself was not sacrificed.
No, but that would be strange, too, wouldn’t it? Sol thinks so. If Behe only wants to live, he should do nothing. If he is a reincarnated person, he must know the principle of reanimation, and there is no way he could have made such a mistake at the time of Samael.
But as soon as one possibility occurred to Sol, he wanted to talk to Behe. At least, he was surprised that he did not know what he was talking about. Celes had come and not been able to ask, but there was a good chance that the scenario had been changed by that something he did not know. At the very least, he wanted to find out.
“Sol. What’s wrong?”
Celes asked Sol, who had been thinking and not talking for a long time.
“Eh!? Ah no I was thinking that if Paz was used as a sacrifice for Levia, and if the resurrection went well, then Levia could be used as a sacrifice for the demon king to resurrect the dead.
At these words, Celes stopped dead in her tracks.
“Yes. I found a way to do that.”
“Celes ……?”
She kept her eyes forward, and Sol could not see her expression.
“That’s certainly true. They would be willing to sacrifice their lives for the Demon King.…Sol, it’ll be fine. The Demon King won’t run away, so it will be easy to defeat him.”
◆
Sol and his friends then returned to Ephor and started preparing to go to the next town. Sol himself had many things on his mind, but for now, he thought it would be important to go see the next tower.
At least, the Demon King has not come back yet. If the Demon King were to revive, the sky would change color, the amount of strong demons would increase, or something like that.
As he was getting ready while thinking about this, something big jumped on Sol’s back. He realized that it was Carla because of the arm he could see and the small size of the object against his back.
“Carla, what’s wrong?”
“I’m talking to Odie! I could talk to Odie because of Sol! Did you say something to him when we were training together? Thank you so much!”
With that, Carla hugged Sol tightly. But Sol did not know if it was something to be thanked so much for.
All Sol wanted was for Odie, who called her a genius who had never had to work hard, to know about her efforts. He hoped that it would inspire him to do something. However, Odie overcame even the inferiority complex that he had been compared to for so long. He was so different from himself, who had been compared to his brother in a previous life and had been left with a twisted sense of inferiority, Sol thought.
“Odie is just great.”
Sol’s words made Carla’s cheeks puff up.
“that’s not true! That’s not what Odie said!”
“Eh, no, …….”
“It’s amazing! And I’m grateful too! That’s all I’m saying. Why are you thinking so hard about it? Just take it in stride!”
Sol was unable to say anything in response. It is true that it is not like Sol not to accept it honestly. He was thinking that, but he was worried about whether he should accept it or not.
This is something he did by playing the role of Sol, but he wanted her to know about his efforts and wanted to resolve their relationship, and if he accepted it honestly, he would feel that even his part was praised. He thought that it was because of Sol that he had been favored by someone, but he expected that he should be praised as well.
“Haha, indeed. Thanks for saying so, too!”
All he could say was what he thought Sol would say. Yuto still wasn’t sure if he should take it.
But his heart felt a little warmer.
