Immediately after returning to town, Celes was examined by Herve. As a result, there was nothing wrong with her body, and she was judged to be just tired. Therefore, she was assured that she would get better after a good night’s rest.

However, Sol could not shake off his anxiety. He had always been concerned about her health. In Efall, in Pasionaria, and even while Sol was awake. She never showed the slightest sign of distress.

Celes was that kind of character. She is kind to everyone, serious, has a strong sense of justice, and works for the good of someone else, putting her own affairs behind her. That is why he wanted to give a hand to Celes so that she would not be overwhelmed. However, when he opened his eyes, he found that he was only being helped.

Celes was supposed to be resting in the guest room of Lepios’ house. But when he came to, he found that she was gone.

“Hey, Carla, where did Celes go?”

“Celes? Well, I don’t know.
I think it’s been a long time since she left, so I don’t think she went to the bathroom or something.”

Sol also left the room, feeling a little uneasy. But he had no idea what was going on, so he decided to ask Lepios about it and headed upstairs to Lepios’ room.

Then, from Lepios’ room, he heard Celes’ voice. Sol was a little relieved to hear that Lepios was there, and he went back to his room.

“It’s only a trial …… for Sol……. So the result ……, …… is unnecessary …….”

But at the mention of his name coming from Ceres, Sol froze. Then he crept over to Lepios’ room, curious as to what they were talking about.

“Why ……. Levia is surely the one I …….”

The moment he heard the words clearly to some extent, for some reason, Celes’s speech stopped abruptly. The door in front of his eyes opened with a snap while he was wondering.

The one who appeared was Lepios, who was looking at Sol with doubtful eyes.

“…… Sol, is something wrong?”

“Ah, no, Celes, she was gone even though she should have been resting, so I was wondering where she had gone. I guess she is at Lepios’ place.”

At the moment Sol said this, his eyes met those of Celes, who was standing behind Lepios. Celes smiled when she saw Sol.

“You came looking for me because you were worried about me. I’m glad ……! I’ve had some rest and I’m feeling better now, so I’m fine now.”

However, Celes’ eyes were red and swollen, as if she had been crying. It felt as if Celes’ pain had been hidden from Sol, and it made his chest throb with pain.

“…… hey, what were you talking about here ……?”

He also wondered what Celes would have been crying about. And that his name had been mentioned.

But after a short pause, Lepios opened his mouth.

“You must have heard ……?”

“No, it was about Levia, and that’s about …… it.”

At these words, Lepios gave a small sigh.

“Other than that, nothing in particular. Celes was just worried about the fact that Levia might be alive.”

No, it’s not that. It’s definitely not that. Sol thought. If that were all, his name would never have come up. But once Lepios said so, Sol could not say anything more.

He felt that the two were hiding something from Sol. But he had no idea what it was. All they heard were disturbing words like “trial” and “unnecessary.”

“…… Sol?”

“Oh, no! Nothing! Celes, don’t be too hard on yourself!”

Somehow, that’s all he managed to say, and Sol ran down the stairs.

It’s okay. Celes and Lepios are both main characters in Lian’s. They would never say mean things like that for no reason. But he could not get the word “unnecessary” out of his head, which he heard in Celes’ voice.

When he returned to the room, Carla looked at Sol with a surprised look on her face. Perhaps he had opened the door too vigorously.

“Sol ……?”

“Oh, no, I’m sorry! I gave it too much momentum! Celes was in the room at Lepios’ place!”

“I see! That’s a relief!”

With that, Carla began to rummage around on the bed again. She seemed uninterested in their conversation, and Sol wondered if he was just paying too much attention to her.

Really, she was probably just talking about what Lepios had said. And it just so happened that Sol’s name came up. He felt as if he was the only one who hadn’t heard the conversation, but Carla wasn’t there either.

But Sol’s blurred feeling did not clear up. He thought back to the time when he had gone to the tower. At that time, she had smiled at Sol and relied on Lepios in the same way.

Oh, I see. He just wanted to be the one that Celes could rely on. What a childish feeling that was.

“…Hey, Carla. Lepios is really reliable, isn’t he?”

“Lepios? Yeah, that’s true! He’s smart and knows everything, and he’s really kind when you’re having a hard time! Ah, is that why Celes was with Lepios?”

“Maybe…….”

Oh, that reminds me, Sol remembers. Wasn’t the type of guy Celes liked a guy like Lepios who would do anything for her without giving anything in return? In fact, Lepios had decided to go on a journey to defeat the Demon King just because she was crying.

Oh, he’s no match for her. Sol thinks so. Moreover, Lepios had a girlfriend before, but she had been unfaithful to him. Celes had given up at first, but then she might have thought, “Well, maybe it’s better this way.”

No, this might be good. Sol thinks so. Lepios would probably prefer to be with Celes, who was serious and would never cheat on him, rather than Rale, who would probably cheat on him.

What if Sol were to end up with Celes? He had thought about that before. But even if by some chance Sol ended up with Celes, if he was still Yuto inside, he wouldn’t be able to make Celes happy.

It doesn’t matter. It was enough that he happened to be reincarnated in this world, and that he was able to have a good time with his favorite character.

And then, Sol’s bag of communication devices rang. Basically, there was no communication here.

When he took out his magical tool, he saw Torsa’s name. Sol thought, ”I said I would contact him, but I haven’t been able to do anything yet.”

Sol opened the message without thinking too much.

“Eh….”

Sol froze for a moment, unable to comprehend the situation.
