Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Information.

"Thanks for the hard work, Miss Lydia".

"Ha, ha. I am glad I could help".

In front of a passage that connected a room within the ruin and the passageway. Soma was currtly monitoring the plan he had inside his brain. The place he is currtly staying is the first place where he was freed from the underg ruin, and all of the studts who still recovered because of the earlier disaster were brought here to rest for the night.

This plan came up after Soma recalled this place with no door or window. There is only one passage. Also, the blue blood that plastered the wall had be dealt with by Xiao Lian's water magic.

The passage was covered by a huge block of stone created by Lydia, one of the characters that has a great role in the Story as one of the Leon Harem. In the earlier stage of the story, she has a timid and inferior personality, and she is also uncertain about her own power. But after getting to know Leon, she changed gradually until she metamorphosed into one of the rowned character.

"You can rest now".

"...Okay, I will take up on your offer".

Soma, who was already done with the business, issues Lydia to take a rest, th she complies with her hunched back, slowly walking toward the other studts that were scattered a the room.

For the last time, Soma observed the stone wall to see if it was deformed but found nothing, so he walked toward the place where Hina and Xiao Lian sat while training their control over their mana manipulation.

"...Soma!".

Hina, who noticed Soma approaching, turned her atttion to him, which made Soma smile wryly, feeling a bit guilty as he was disturbing her practice.

"...Don't mind me, keep doing your thing. I will talk with the others".

"Okay".

"..Shut it, Silver-hair, in the first place. This is not a competition; besides, you're the one to talk".

As the two girls began to banter toward each other, Soma left their place and approached Eiji and Eri, who sat side by side in one of the corners.

Eiji, who noticed Soma approaching, his eyes brighted as he waved his hand, welcoming him with op arms. Eri beside him nodded her head as she kept her wary gaze, observing the other studts who gave her group some gaze.

"Soma, it's be a while. How are you doing?".

"It's be a while, Eiji. Well, as you see, I'm fine. How about you, Eiji, and you too, Eri?".

"I'm fine".

"Um, I am well".

"Good"

The three who reunited began to converse in a relaxed manner as if they had known each other for long. Many studts here recognized Eiji and Eri. The dark and unique magic users attract atttion, especially Eiji, who wields the dark power, which is se as the demon power.

"So, Eiji, how can you get captured by the orcs?".

"Should I talk from the start?".

"...If you don't mind it. Th, be my guest. We have a time in our hands after all".

"Okay, th first…".

Eiji and Soma, who currtly sit beside him, start to talk about his journey until he gets captured. As The story progressed, Soma's eyes began to show a slight change wh Eiji mtioned a high-altitude land that came up from his story.

"...and th…".

"Wait, Eiji!".

""?!"".

Soma cut off Eiji's explanation further as he needed the information Eiji spoke a momt ago.

"You said you found a high altitude in this place?".

"Yes, it was a the northeast from here".

Wh Eiji blurted out a place with high altitude, every ear inside the room twitched, and the room turned eerily quiet for a momt. The atmosphere turned a sudd change all of a sudd as a gaze of contempt was thrown at Eiji for keeping the secret all alone.

Th, one of the male studts nearby who heard that exploded as he sprung back up while pointing his finger at Eiji.

"You Bastar..".

"Shut up!".

However, before the boy could finish his stce, Soma's silt threat echoed inside the room, making the room's atmosphere turn heavy all of a sudd. The boy who received it glanced at Soma, who gave him a piercing stare that made his body shudder because of Soma's overwhelming figure and the might he had shown earlier. The boy muted while biting his lips and th throwing his face away.

Soma turned his atttion to other studts who had a slight complaint to Eiji, and all of their mouths shut while throwing their gaze away. All of them knew what kind of a boy who single-handedly obliterated a horde of high species of Orcs alone, but no one dared to op their mouth as in lifting their hands.

After all of the trouble had be dealt with, Soma loosed his facial muscles and glanced back at Eiji.

"...Eiji, you know the requiremt for us to get out, right?".

"Of course, we know it. but…".

"But?".

Upon Soma questioning Eiji, who realized their currt situation. Eiji hesitated to reveal what he knew. However, contrary to him, Eri from the side blurted out the thing Eiji wanted to keep secret.

"...There is a big and strong presce that is awaiting us at the summit".

Eri brutally answered everyone's curiosity, giving them a taste of reassurance about the way home while at the same time giving them a thorny despair that shook their soul.

"Are you sure?".

"Yeah, a hundred perct. Ev in a distance, I could feel its oppressive might".

"How are you so sure about that?".

"Let's say Me and Eiji had be through a lot".

"I see".

Hearing Eri's evasive answer. But the words she said and the twitching face of Eiji made him curious. Soma nodded his head, trying not to pry deeper.

"Yeah, so that is why we couldn't afford to step foot inside its territory".

Eiji gives his last piece of information about wh he found the place from the many studts who gathered there. Only Eiji and Eri had already se the place. This must be the works of wonder of luck on Eiji's hand, making him transferred away from the nearest place from the way out.

"We got a bit distracted. So let's continue my story, Soma. Are you still willing to list".

"Hm? Ah, please go ahead".

From there, Eiji and Eri began to experice counters that led them toward Leon's side before being sured by the orcs and captured.

Soma oped his eyes wide, hearing the details about what happed wh they were sured. Soma turned his gaze to look at Leon, who was talking to each studt while giving them a spare drink he brought inside his storage. "I know that he has a weak heart at the earliest story. But still, to think it was this worse".

He muttered while knitting his brows, looking at Leon's refreshing smile as he was talking to a girl.

"Okay, thanks, Eiji, for your information. With this, I know where I will go".

"Soma, are you perhaps?!".

Eiji, who slightly catches the meaning behind Soma's inttion, bloated his eyes, to which Soma replied by smiling confidtly.

"Th, Eiji and Eri, I didn't want to disturb your momt any further. Have a good rest".

"What?!".

"You too, Soma".

Soma, who saw Eiji's flushed face and Eri's triumphant face, chuckled before turning his back and approaching his resting place beside the two girls. While he walked, all eyes were gathered a him, making his feet feel heavy with each step he took, but he held his head high, undeterred by those gazes, approaching the girls who were waiting for him back.

"Um, could you please spare me a momt?".
