Then Sol was sent back to his room by Lepios without getting any fresh air.
“You are prone to getting into some kind of trouble, so try to stay with someone as much as possible. For example, Celes.”
“Eh, but with Herve san ……”
“My sister can’t fight.”
With those words, Lepios returned to his room. Sol looked over at Celes, not understanding why, but for some reason he was staring intently at her chest.
“I guess it’s the difference in breasts after all…”
As Celes said this and shook her chest up and down, Sol felt as if he was looking at something he shouldn’t have, so he instinctively looked away. Celes was currently unequipped and defenseless, and seeing her behave like that in such a state would have been filled with guilty feelings.
However, Celes probably did not think too much about it. If this feeling was revealed in such a situation, he would surely be disliked. With this in mind, Sol turned his back on Celes and pretended to check on tomorrow’s preparations.

The next day, Sol and his team headed for the tower. As usual, Sol used ranged attack magic to wipe out the small fry. Since Levia was water-based, many of the small fry were also water-based, making her a poor match for Sol, but perhaps because of the level difference, he was able to deal with them all with a single blow.
Sol vaguely recalled memories from a game in his previous life. He remembered that Levia was the most troublesome of the Four Kings, partly because she was an enemy at the end of the Four Kings game. Levia has the ability to regenerate herself and regain her strength at regular intervals. Of course, if you knew what you were doing, you could almost certainly avoid it, but the time you spent avoiding it, Levia would regenerate her health. making it a troublesome feature.
However, “Lian’s” was an RPG in which players could improve their abilities by leveling up. No matter how bad you were at action, as long as you leveled up and knew the strategy, you could beat the game without any problems.
That’s why, even if he was still alive after being revived, he wanted to kill her here. If she had been killed, Sol had no idea what would have happened after that.
“Eh….?”
Celes, who was walking a little ahead of him, stopped.
“Why ……?”
Looking ahead, there were feathers scattered there that were probably Paz’s. When she got here, she walked up the stairs and saw that the feathers had been scattered all over the place.
But there was no sign of Paz or Levia. This meant that Levia had resurrected with Paz as a sacrifice and disappeared somewhere.
Seeing the devastation, Celes began to think about why.
“This is impossible ……! Because Levia is ……”
“Celes.”
Lepios stood next to her and rubbed her back.
“Celes. There is nothing strange about it. As we were talking about at the Tower of Efall, there is a good chance that Behe is using Paz to revive Levia and is then planning a plan to revive the Demon King. Hey, Sol. You think so too, don’t you Sol?”
“Huh? Ah, yeah …….”
Sol nodded to Lepios’ words. In fact, that was the most likely scenario.
“yes,……. That’s the most likely scenario. ……”
The face of Celes was blue and her voice trembled a little as she said this. So Sol also approached her with concern.
“Celes ……? Are you okay, ……?”
“Eh….? Oh, I’m fine. ……
Don’t worry …….”
“But …….”
When Sol tried to reach out to Celes, she smiled, then turned her back to him.
“It’s okay. I’m really okay… So, don’t worry…”
Sol could not say anything more once he was told that. The next to her, Carla looked around curiously.
“But there are signs of a fight.”
As Carla said, there was blood everywhere, blood that could not have belonged to Paz alone. It looked a little like the scene in the tower at Efall.
“…. Maybe, just like Paz, Levia and Behe got into a tussle. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the Demon King has not yet returned. Isn’t that right? Celes.”
“Yes, I suppose so. …… Because Behe is evil. So it doesn’t surprise me what he’s doing. …… That’s right. It’s all his fault. ……”
Celes seemed to be acting a little strange, and Sol realised something was wrong and tried to look into her face. However, before Sol could move, Lepios stood in front of Ceres and looked into her face.
“Celes. You look a little pale. It might be best to have someone check you up. Can you walk to my house…?”
“Uh, yeah, I’m fine. …….”
“In that case, let’s hurry back for now. Let’s report this matter to the country as soon as possible. However, the Demon King hasn’t been resurrected yet, and there is a possibility that there is some kind of quarrel among the demons, so we don’t know how things will turn out. It’s just a hypothesis though.”
Lepios said and began to walk while supporting Celes. Sol watched their backs, unable to do anything about it.
“Celes, I hope she’s okay.”
Carla was standing next to him, gazing at Celes with a worried look, but Sol couldn’t bring himself to look at her with a pure, worried look.
Celes had always surrounded him with kindness. Perhaps it was the same kind of feeling he had for his younger brother. But even so, it was a kind of love that he had not received in his previous life.
Therefore, he wanted to be a man who could be there for Celes when she was in pain, at least. But in reality, he was unable to do so. What turned out to be the case was a smile, as if she was desperately trying to hide her pain. But she did not show such a smile to Lepios.
So the smile that Celes gave Sol seemed to be telling him that he was not a man she could rely on, and it made Sol’s heart ache.
