dream again. A dream of his previous life. Yuto was looking vaguely at the living room of the house of his previous life from above.
He knew that this was no longer just a dream. It must be something that really happened after he died in his previous life.
For some reason, Yuto’s father, mother, and older brother, Akira, were all sitting on the sofa, drooping. As for the mother, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
In the midst of all this, Akira stood up without saying a word. Then, he stopped at one place. There was an incense stick there along with a picture of Yuto’s childhood, and Yuto thought vaguely, “Oh, they have prepared a place for me like this, too.”
In front of the altar, Akira opened his mouth with tears in his eyes.
“Yuto is an idiot. If you had consulted me, even just a little bit, the future might have been different. Then I would have gone to school normally that day, and I might not have had the accident. I can’t help but think that.”
Akira crouched down in front of the Buddhist altar.
“I can’t say with confidence that this house was a place where I felt safe and could open my heart. I wonder if it would have been different if I had listened to Yuto more when he was shut in, or even before that. If I had gone to talk to him more often when he was shut in, I wonder if it would have been different. Or was it just depressing for You? He said that once you’re dead, you don’t know anything anymore.”
Yuto covered his ears, not wanting to understand what Akira was saying, but not wanting to understand. But the sound did not go away, and behind Akira’s back, his mother began to cry aloud again.
Akira put something in front of the altar. It was a letter that Satoru’s mother must have given to his mother before.
To Yuto kun.
The handwriting on the front of the letter was unmistakably Satoru’s.

“….!! Sol…!!”
Sol woke up with a start when he heard a voice calling his name. When he opened his eyes, there was Celes with red eyes and a worried look on her face.
“Huh……? Am I ……? Is this ……?”
Sol found himself on the bed. When he got up, there was no pain or anything.
“This is my home.”
Lepios also looked at Sol with a slightly relieved look on his face. Gradually, Sol also remembered what had happened before he fainted.
“Hey, hey! Where’s Torsa!? Is Torsa okay?!”
The first thing he was worried about was Torsa. If Torsa’s stats were visible, they would have been pretty low. Behe had said she wouldn’t kill him, but he was still worried about Torsa after he’d been attacked by Behe.
“He is safe. However, his injuries were more severe and more urgent than yours, so he is being examined by my sister, who knows more about medicine than I. He is not awake yet, but he is sleeping now. “
“I see. That’s good.”
Sol breathed a sigh of relief. He’d been healed by Lepios’s healing magic and had been examined by the infirmary’s doctor, Herve, so there was no doubt about it.
The next thing he wondered about was Behe and Levia.
“What happened after that? I was hit by Levia’s technique, and from there I completely lost consciousness and ……. I mean, I’m surprised I survived.”
If he remembers correctly, the attack he received before he lost consciousness was an instant-death attack in the game. However, in reality, he would have drowned in water and suffocated to death, so he had some time before he actually died.
“I let those two go. Your life and Torsa’s were my top priority. It seems they didn’t really intend to kill you either… well…”
“Yes, Behe said they were going to use me as a bargaining chip! And she said it was to get a book on the forbidden art of resurrecting the dead! She said it wasn’t Behe who killed Samael and Paz after they were raised from the dead, either! …… But wait. Then that means that someone I know has that book, and also that he killed Samael and Paz. ……”
Sol’s head was confused even as he shouted this. Sol couldn’t think of any character who would do such a thing. And that the person was strong enough to fight Samael and Paz as well. But the only three people he could think of who were that strong were the three people here.
But it was impossible to imagine Celes, Lepios, and Carla doing such a thing. These three were on the righteous side of justice and evil. They would never do such an outrageous thing.
“I don’t get it at all. ……. It should be someone I know. …….”
Sol’s words made Lepios laugh a little, blowing up a little for some reason.
“Oh, you don’t doubt us at all, do you? We could fight Samael or Paz.”
Not only Sol, but also Ceres and Carla, looked at Lepios with a startled look. That’s right. It was as if he was asking whether he did not suspect his friends.
“Isn’t that obvious? No one would do something like that! Or do you think I’m the kind of guy who would doubt my friends?”
“No, of course not. But thinking about it, I was glad about it. Right? Everyone?”
At Lepios’ words, Celes nodded strongly, and Carla nodded exaggeratedly and strongly several times.
“Well, they were talking earlier when you were asleep, so maybe you misunderstood something.”
“Ha? A misunderstanding?”
“Yes. After Levia released you from that great trick, Behe and Levia were talking about something. And I heard a voice saying something about a misunderstanding or something like that. Considering the fact that they left just like that, it might have been a misunderstanding that they attacked you to use you as a bargaining chip. And then, they might be planning to revive the Demon King by obtaining the book of forbidden arts more easily than expected. Right, Celes?”
“Yeah. ……”
Celes had been looking down the whole time, but rubbed her eyes a little and then smiled.
“Right now, they’re probably discussing who will be the sacrifice for the Demon King’s resurrection. I’d prefer it if it was Behe, since she runs away so easily. …It’ll be fine, Sol. If it’s the Demon King, he won’t run away even if he’s resurrected, so we can easily defeat him.”
