Farah's POV

I hurriedly take Stolas back to our camp and let the doctor check up on her. After the doctor in the camp finishes first aiding for Stolas, I run toward Beleth's tent.

-Beleth! (Farah)

Beleth sits on the bed while holding a book in her hand turns to me.

-Farah? (Beleth)

-Stolas is in trouble! (Farah)

Beleth runs to my side and hugs me.

-Calm down, master. (Beleth)

-Haaa~ (Farah)

Beleth looks at me with a faint smile and asks me.

-What happened to Stolas? (Beleth)

-She...she fainted. (Farah)

Beleth still has that faint smile on her face starts patting my head. She has become more tender since our date, no longer hyperventilating every time she hugs me.

-You need to calm down first and take me to her place. (Beleth)

-Yes! (Farah)

I take Beleth to the tent where Stolas is.

-She is right here, Beleth. (Farah)

-Uhm, let me check up on her. (Beleth)

Beleth walks to the bed where Stolas is lying and reaches out her hand to Stolas' forehead.

-Excuse me. (Beleth)

The hand of Beleth starts shinning. After a while, Beleth nods her head and takes her hand off Stolas' forehead.

-I get the situation now. (Beleth)

Beleth walks to my side and takes me out of the tent.

-Will Stolas be fine, Beleth? (Farah)

Beleth has a faint smile on her face and replies to me.

-Stolas fainted not because she got hurt, Farah. (Beleth)

-Eh? Why did Stolas faint then? (Farah)

-Hmm, How can I explain it? (Beleth)

Beleth scratches her head and tries to explain to me.

-You know Stolas can use skills related to the soul, right? (Beleth)

I nod at Beleth's question.

-That will become much handy to explain everything to you then. (Beleth)

Beleth peeks inside the tents and makes sure that Stolas is still sleeping before she continues talking.

-Stolas has sealed her feeling since a long time ago. That's why you can usually see her emotionless face. (Beleth)

-... (Farah)

-In the past, I have once tried to help her. And the result is a big failure. (Beleth)

Beleth scratches her head.

-It was a part of my fault since I was really insensitive in the past. What I did in the past only resulted in hurting Stolas instead of saving Stolas from the suffering. (Beleth)

That's why these two didn't have a proper conversation since they met each other in this trial. Beleth reaches out and pats my head again.

-Don't make that kind of face, my dear master. (Beleth)

Beleth puts her hand on the mouth.

-I'm sorry, Farah. My old habit act up again. (Beleth)

-You don't need to worry about that, Beleth. (Farah)

-Right, I need to explain the rest of Stolas' situation. (Beleth)

-Uhm. (Farah)

-Stolas can use the souls of other people as the medium to strengthen her soul. But in the progress of doing that, Stolas chose to lock up her emotion. (Beleth)

-Is emotion related to the soul of a person? (Farah)

-You can consider so, Farah. The feeling is a part that makes up our soul. Without it, our soul is not complete. (Beleth)

-Then Stolas fainted because she releases her emotion? (Farah)

-That's right. Stolas' soul now has come together and become one again. (Beleth)

-Ah! (Farah)

-Once Stolas' soul becomes one, she will gain immeasurable strength. (Beleth)

Beleth takes out a tablet from her pocket.

-You can look at this, Farah. (Beleth)

On the tablet is a list of ranking with the name on it.

-This is the ranking tablet of the demoness. (Beleth)

-Oh! (Farah)

-The ranking of Stolas yesterday was around 40. (Beleth)

Beleth points at Stolas' name on the tablet.

-And now Stolas is at 15. (Beleth)

-It increased so much! (Farah)

-It will increase even more if Stolas learns how to control her newly gain power. Therefore, you don't need to worry about Stolas, Farah. (Beleth)

I feel relief when I hear Beleth said that.

-I almost thought Stolas was injured because of me. (Farah)

-Don't worry much about that girl. She is much tough than what she looks like, Farah. (Beleth)

Beleth bends her head down and says.

-I'm really grateful to you, master. (Beleth)

Beleth suddenly becomes formal again.

-I want to thank master as Stolas' friend. (Beleth)

-I have done nothing much. I merely dueled with Stolas because she asked me to, Beleth. (Farah)

-But you are the only one who has become successful so far in making Stolas open her feeling. (Beleth)

-Please raise up, Beleth. I also consider myself as Stolas' friend. (Farah)

We look at each other and start laughing.

-Hah, right. That's how you can make Stolas open her mind. (Beleth)

-What do you mean by that, Beleth? (Farah)

-Nothing~ (Beleth)

Beleth bends down and kisses me on the lips.

-Nyaaa~ (Farah)

-You are so cute, Farah. (Beleth)

Beleth stares at me with the eyes of a predator.

-Let me have more of you, Farah. (Beleth)

Beleth's hands try to reach out to my chest area.

-Pervert! (Mia)

-You need to stop right there, pervert! (Amy)

The twins drop the kick on Beleth's head and make her faint.

-Are you alright, sister? (Mia)

-What did that pervert do to you, sister Farah? (Amy)

My face becomes bright red when I remember our kiss.

-We need to punish the criminal. (Amy)

-Right, sister. (Mia)

After that, I try to calm the twins down and make them go back to their tent.

-But why did Beleth try to touch my chest, anyway? (Farah)

I stop thinking about that issue and carry Beleth back to her tent.
