[If you don’t hurry up and come, I don’t know what will happen to your friend here. Don’t tell anyone and be sure to come alone. If you don’t come alone, I don’t know what will happen to your friend.]
When Sol opened the message that was supposed to be from Torsa, he was greeted with these words.
Sol’s chest rumbled. Such a message was definitely not from Zed or Rakt. At least, they were not so outrageous that they would kill anyone.
In other words, it was assumed to be Behe. Behe had called Sol for the reason of consultation when he was in Efall.
[Where should I go?]
Sol replied with a shaky hand. He immediately received a location.
The location was the entrance to a cave a short distance from Pasionia. The person to whom this message was sent changed from expectation to certainty.
It is one of the dungeons used for leveling up in the early stages of the original story. It was impossible for an ordinary person to choose such a place for a rendezvous.
I must hurry and get there. He thought so, but he knew that if he really went there alone, it would only end badly. With his current abilities, he would not be able to fight while helping Torsa.
Moreover, there was a good chance that Levia would still be alive. With that in mind, even if Torsa was not there, there was no guarantee that he could win.
“Carla.”
Sol calls out to Carla with a trembling voice.
“What’s wrong?”
“Look at this.”
Carla looked into Sol’s magic tool with a curious face. She reads it and her eyes widen.
“This is ……!”
“I think it might be Behe. So …….”
Just as he was talking to Carla, another message came in with Torsa’s name.
[Five minutes to go. That’s how much time he has left]
Five minutes is not enough time if you don’t jump out right now. Sol makes up his mind.
“I’m on my way anyway. So, Carla, go talk to Celes and Lepios about this and come up with a plan.”
“O-Okay!”
The moment he heard Carla’s words, Sol ran out of the room. At the same time, his eyes met with those of Celes, who had just come down from the second floor.
“Sol ……! Wait!”
“I’m sorry! you need to talk to Carla!”
As soon as he said this to Celes, Sol left Lepios’ house and went to an uncovered area. Then, he warped to the entrance of the cave with the transfer magic.
“Ah, you really came alone!”
Sol’s voice reaches his ears as he expected. Behe was standing a little further inside the cave. Sol also entered the cave and shouted.
“Where the hell did you put Torsa!”
“Here! I’m letting him live because you came alone within five minutes as promised.
You should be grateful!””
With those words, Torsa appeared in a cage made of rocks.
“Sol! Don’t come here! She’s after you. ……!”
“Oh, and by the way, the moment you attack me even a little bit, he’ll be dead!”
Sol bit his lip at those words. Because it’s in a cave, you can’t use transfer magic. So, he cannot just save Torsa by taking advantage of the gap.
It’s okay. Celes and the others have gotten the message, so they must be thinking of some way to break the deadlock. Besides, just before he came, he cast both physical and special defensive magic. Even if he is attacked unilaterally, he should be able to survive.
Even with this thought, Sol opened his mouth to test one possibility.
“Hey, Behe, have you ever heard of ‘Lian’s’?”
“Ha? What’s that?”
Sol gave a small sigh at those words. Oh, she is not a reincarnated person. So, she must be acting differently due to some influence.
But now that he knew that, he no longer had to worry about whether she was really an enemy or not. Behe is evil in this world. That is the proof that there is no doubt about it.
“… how can I get you to let Torsa go?”
Sol said, glaring at Behe.
“Hmmm, why don’t you just let me beat you up honestly?”
“Ha, why me ……”
“No! Sol kun! Run away now!”
Torsa suddenly started shouting in a loud voice.
“You’re an indispensable part of this world, you know that! So don’t worry about me! My life doesn’t matter!”
“Don’t say that!”
Sol shouted at Torsa’s words.
“You’re my friend! Of course I want to protect you, because you’re my friend!”
He couldn’t abandon Torsa.
At the time of Yuto, he had said the same words to Satoru. At that time, he just got beat up and couldn’t do anything about it. But now it’s different. He wanted to believe that.
Sol’s words made Tolsa’s eyes widen.
“Wait, lies, could it be ……?”
“You’ve been making a lot of noise for a while now! Lock shot!”
Suddenly Behe turned toward Torsa and sent some sharp rocks flying at him. Torsa had no way to avoid them and was knocked unconscious by the attack.
“Haal! That’s bullshit! You said if I don’t do anything, you won’t do anything to Torsa. ……!”
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t do anything! I just said I would not take his life!”
“Damn……, don’t screw with me ……damn it…….”
But there was nothing Sol could do. If Sol made any wrong move, Torsa’s life would surely be lost. Sol bit his lip. It was frustrating that he couldn’t do anything.
“Even though you’re complaining, you do understand the situation! But, you’re right. It’s a pain when she comes.”
Behe then looked behind Sol and smiled.
“Rock wall!”
Instantly, the entrance to the cave was blocked by a rock wall. Sol shuddered at the situation.
There is only one entrance to the cave here. This meant that it would be difficult for him to escape, or for Celes and the others to sneak in.
