The Third Prince Want a Slow Live

Going down through the hall where Cerberus was, it led to a room full of different fantasy treasures.

At first glance, it looks like the last room, but since I found a hidden passage with my perception magic,  I'll check it out later.

Because I still need to fulfill the wish of Sophia before that.

"Is this...?"

 Among the countless treasures and magic tools, there was a peculiar one.

At first glance, it looks like a simple crystal, but it seems to be a type of magic tool that activates when touched.

"Sophia, should I go out?"

 "... Uh, I want you to be with me."

"... I see."

I asked if I should leave because it is probably that ancient magic tool, and it looked like I should leave her alone, but that's what I got back.

I'm not sure if it's out of trust or anxiety, but since it's her wish, I'll be watching the situation from the side.

Gently, the Sophia touched the crystal.

Then, a dazzling light was emitted and a girl emerged from the crystal like a hologram.

It is an elf girl who stands out a little more than Sophia.

"... Celia"

 With a trembling voice, Sophia called out her sister's name.

The girl turned her gaze at Sphere's words, and replied with a slightly crying voice.

《 Onee-chan... What is going on? 》

 The girl named Celia looked around her for a while, and then she looked at herself emerging from the crystal and sighed in relief.

《 You summoned me from the dead with some kind of ancient magic tool. 

》

"Ceria, I..."

 《Wait, sister.  Sister, were you trying to apologize to me just now? 》

At that, Sophia cuts off her words.

 Celia chuckled at Sophia silence, which seemed to reflect her guilt.

《 It was not sister's fault that I died.  So don't make that face 》

"...No, I, l...my, it is all my fault..."

Celia tried to gently touch Sophia after these words, which seemed to be filled with agony--she felt a little sad that it slipped through, and then gently brought her hand closer to her cheek and said.

《 I like the face of my sister who is always smiling. So I want you to smile. 》

At those words, Sophia began to shed tears as if her tension had been cut off.

After gently watching Sphere like that, Celia turned her gaze to me, who was trying to blend in the air to not stand out.

《 are you with my sister? 》

I thought I had completely turned into air, but……whether it is because of the magic tool or her own ability when she was still alive, whatever it is, it is amazing.

"Sophia said she wanted to apologize to you."

 《 Do you know why I died? 》

 "No, but I know you were an important person to Sophia."

"I see……"

 Looking a little happy with my words, Celia looked at Sophia as she wiped away her tears and said teasingly.

《 For older sister who has no luck with men, I am relieved that he looks unexpectedly decent.  But to think that you were a shotacon, big sis. 》

 "...it is not like that."

 "Eh, is that so?"

Her sister smiled.

 However, I never thought the day would come when I would hear the word shotacon in this world.

Is it a common word for elves?

 While I was in my thoughts, the two talked about various things.

Mainly, Sophia was talking about her recent situation and her relation with me, and Celia was listening happily.

I thought it would be fine if this kind of time continued for a while longer, but things doesn't quite go as one wish for.

Vaguely, Celia's holographic body began to disappear.

 "Celia, that's...!"

 《 It seems like time is up... sorry, I wanted to talk to you more. 》

Celia murmured as she looked at her own fading body.

She was able to meet her beloved sister, but she had to part with her again.

 I don't have that kind of experience, but I just don't want to see Sophia sad expression.

“ Celia, do you have any intention of reviving again?”

 《 Reviving... is there that kind of magic? 》

 "Sirius, is there some way...?"

I nodded gently to Sphere, who asked me like she pleading.

 "Yes. That said, she will not be the same as before. But... at least I guarantee that Sophia will be able to spend time laughing with Celia until she dies."

The two were confused by my dreamy words, but Sophia still nodded as if to believe me.

 "Please, Sirius...my sister...Celia with me."

 "Yeah. How about you, Celia?"

《 ……I don't get it. But my sister believes you, so I will do the same.  Nice to meet you, Sirius-kun. 》

After nodding, I picked up the crystal.

 First, I analyzed this crystal magic tool and took out the remnants of Celia's soul.

The majority of Celia's soul had already been returned to the world, but a fragment of her soul still remained in this world.

If she was a human, it would have been gone long ago.

If the person has an overwhelming grudge, it would remain until it is purified, but Celia doesn't have such a thing, so it is precisely because it remained by chance that this magic tool attracted the remnant of her soul.

Well, it might have something to do with Celia being an elf with more vitality than a human, but even though Salte's father was also an elf, he probably doesn't have a remnant soul left.

One of the reasons is that Salte was able to barely survive in such a harsh environment is because her father's remnant was working in the form of a blessing, and had disappeared by the time she met me, the other reason may be that Salte's father was weak as an elf.

Similarly, I don't think Salte's mother, Cecil's father and mother, who were humans, will appear with this magic tool.

 It's cruel, but that's probably the limit of this magic tool.

Well, meeting the dead is already a taboo, so it can't be helped, but I'll protect Salte and Cecil by my side.

And the bond between the sisters that I was able to meet at the same time.

While maintaining the remains of Celia's soul with magic, I pull it out and put it in another container to fix it.

In short, I created a new body and put her soul into it.

For the container, I used a homunculus I found in this underground ruin.

It is not an eyesore for the sights, so it's a perfect fit for the container.

After a faint light enveloped the homunculus, the inorganic skin eventually transforms into the natural white skin of an elf, transforming the face from a Noh mask into that of a beautiful girl.

And then, the girl who was a hologram until a while ago appeared on the spot with her new body.

……In addition, She was practically naked after being former from the homunculus, so I didn't forget to hide her body by using space magic while she was in the middle of her transformation.

'Cause I'm a gentleman

 Slowly, Celia opens her eyes.

 She slowly opens her hand then, slowly closes it as if to check her new body and adapt to it.

"... I really came back to life."

 "Celia!"

 Sophia hugged her thickly.

Celia also gently hugged Sophia, who crying like a child.

In order not to disturb the sisters, I decided to hide my tiredness and head to the rest of the hidden rooms.

 Even if I'm here, it'll be a nuisance.

 And so, on that day, an elf girl was revived, even if it was in the body of a homunculus.
