In the empty hall at the base of the main tower, Naria stood for a long time with her head tilted, listening with hope and anxiety. As expected, she didn't get a response.

If Ed hadn't been around, she probably wouldn't have heard that ...... at all It was like a voice that sounded directly in her soul.

She bowed her head gloomily, in a daze. She should try to think about what else she could do—Eren had a very powerful mage among his friends, and the Silver Leaf King might be willing to help...... And Is...... What if Isis also has an accident?

She sat down against the wall, staring blankly at her toes. Yes, far from the time of despair...... She just needed a little time to pick herself up.

She pressed her forehead to her knees, dispelling all the foreboding in her heart, gritting her teeth and holding back the tears that welled up in her eyes amid worry, fear, and grievance. Eren had warned her that there would be too many uncertainties in her future life...... He said she might lose a lot.

She wasn't unprepared, she just didn't expect it to be so soon.

Thin sobs were pressed to the deepest part of the chest. She didn't feel the slightest tremor on the ground, nor did she see the faint light scratching the floor with inscrutable runes.

When someone cautiously called her name, she thought it was just an illusion.

“...... Naria!"

The voice was a little louder, and she looked up suddenly.

Ed stood just a few steps away, a giggle of joy frozen on his face at the sight of her red eyes.

Naria glared at him for a moment, then jumped up and rushed over, her arms outstretched in a hug that turned into a solid slap on the back of her head when it landed on Ed.

"Bastard!" she scolded.

Ed was scolded a little confused, but still subconsciously nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, it's a bastard!"

The corners of Naria's mouth unconsciously curled, and she slapped it again angrily...... Then rubbed it vigorously on his head.

She didn't really like Ed's gray hair, but even those gray hairs looked so cute now.

Behind Ed, Is, who had just climbed up from the bottom of the tower, smiled at her.

Nalya immediately pushed Ed aside and threw herself over to give Isse a warm and long hug, so surprised that she would only ask over and over again, "Why are you here...... Why are you here?"

“...... It's a long story. Isis replied, suppressing the strangeness in his heart. He wished Nalya had given him a slap in the face...... But she was always a little gentler with him, even when she didn't know he wasn't human.

Maybe something, not the same from the beginning.

"Here...... How did it become like this?" he looked around, masking his frustration with another question.

"Well, that's a long story. Naria replied proudly, "Didn't Ed tell you?"

"It's not time yet. "It's going to be a long story, can we talk about it later...... I'm so hungry!"

The hunger that I barely felt in the other world was overwhelming and unspeakable.

"Sausage...... Anything else?" he asked nervously, not daring to ask her directly how long he had been "gone."

"Eat it all!" replied Naria ruthlessly, "Who told you not to come back last night!"

"Last night...... "Ed touched his stomach, uncomfortable and happy, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

His memory is still clear...... It's like I heard Narya whisper last night, "Don't go home too late." ”

OK...... He wasn't too late.

"Let's go back first. Naria gave him a roll of the eyes, "You can drop by and buy something to eat." ”

Someone had to be sent to inform the Temple of Water and Balk...... Although as soon as they stepped out of the three-storied pagoda, the news would probably spread immediately.

"Don't do that again next time!" she involuntarily reached out and brushed Ed's messy gray hair, "no matter what the 'magic anomaly'...... Can't you just talk to everyone before you move forward?!"

Ed was stunned.

"Magical anomalies?" he asked.

"Wasn't it a warning you left behind?" Narya was a little confused, but she immediately became vigilant, "'Magic is abnormal, dangerous'...... It's painted on the wall of the sewer. ”

The joy in Ed's eyes faded.

“...... Who told you that?" he asked.

"York Tracy. Narya replied, "He was the first to go to you." There's also a priest of the Earth Goddess who has disappeared with you, but Master Laval says he should be fine...... So, isn't that what you left behind?"

Ed shook his head slowly: "The symbol I left behind refers to...... Hell. ”

When darkness came over him, he felt the cold, scorching breath of hell. It's not very strong, but it's not something that necromancers who have "borrowed" the power of hell can control.

Isis withdrew his hand as he was about to open the door.

"Maybe we should stay here a little longer. He said, glancing at Ed, intentionally or unintentionally, "Anyway, you won't starve to death for a while, right?"

Ed instinctively felt that he was a little upset...... But why was he suddenly upset again?

"Yes...... It's fine. He swallowed dryly and decided to endure it obediently.

"So someone lied?" Naria frowned, already turning her attention to the more important question, "Or did someone change the symbol you left before Tracy went to you?"

"York...... Shouldn't be lying. Ed said.

The young man may have been a little arrogant, but he was also quite simple and upright.

"Is there a problem with the priest who disappeared with you?" Narya thought for a moment, "Or ......"

She stopped.

She didn't know why she suddenly thought of the gentle and generous High Priest - perhaps because he showed a bit more "generosity" than she had imagined...... But it is said that he has been in the temple of the god of water for several days, and if there is really a problem, how can Sean and Icabold not notice it?

But after a moment's hesitation, she voiced her suspicions: "I think, that high priest of Anduhe...... Maybe know something. ”

It was a rare euphemism for her, but it was enough for Ed and Iss to understand.

This is quite bold skepticism. Ed couldn't find the answer in his own memories, and it wasn't easy to prove something quietly and unnoticed—they couldn't just ask Laval.

"Actually......" said Ed, "maybe ......"

He looked up at the intricately carved ceiling. Because of this tower, he was able to come back...... The moment he returned, he heard its muffled voice, as if it had known everything, as if the ruined towers of another world had merged with it.

But it's still it, just as he's still him.

"Maybe there's an easier way. He said.
