Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 6 Episode 2 (section)

===Part 1===

Two days later.

A total of sixty students, who passed the simulation tests at school, and several men from the military, who took the test together, left on a journey to the Principality of Wanheim.

Although the area was smaller than the New Kingdom, the Principality of Wanheim also had vast borders, so it was also ranked as one of the big countries.

The season was now early autumn, but Wanheim’s climate was still very warm, so everyone was happy that they did not have to wear warm clothing.

The downside was that the one-way trip lasted for over four days.

They sometimes traveled by boat from the harbor, sometimes crossing national borders and would encounter wild animals and bandits, and also needed to use Drag-Ride to fly through shortcuts.

But they still mainly rode carriage to the test site at Ruin’s Gear.

Initially, everyone was excited to see the exotic people and landmarks, and were all jumping in enthusiasm, but after four tired days of travelling on carriage, they became more obedient.

”But this is really troublesome, why do we have to travel this way every time, just directly use Drag-Ride to fly over is way better.”

Located at the back of the wagon, Lisha boringly looked out of the window.

”Because you cannot run out of strength before the test, otherwise we’ll be putting the cart before the horse? After all, others cannot use Drag-Ride casually like us.”

”Muu…..”

Sitting opposite to her while calmly reading, Krulcifer whispered a reminder.

Although having seated on the bumpy carriage for so long, she still looked quite refreshed, which made Lux admired her.

”Kuu…..Lu, chan.”

At the same time, Philuffy, who early had entered her beautiful dream, leant her body on to Lux.

In order to not give her extra burden, Lux didn’t want to wake her up so he kept still, but her plentiful twin peaks happened to touch his arms. Moreover, as the carriage kept bumping, Lux’s arm was buried deeper into her elastic chest, which couldn’t help but made Lux’s heart raced.

”Hey, that Tennen Boke (natural air head)! Don’t get too close! Lux is troubled!?”

Lisha, who had been sitting next to that scene, finally could not hold it in anymore and yelled.

”………Aa, I don’t mind, just let her sleep.”

Lux smiled wryly to soothe down Lisha.

“That’s right. To be precise, you don’t feel troubled, but feel happy ——Or, you look very happy, you aren’t saying this just to sit next to her, are you?”

Krulcifer snapped close the book, and then stared coldly there.

“It, it’s not like that!? Krulcifer-san, don’t say such strange thing——Uwa!?”

While Lux couldn’t bear the despises of the two young girls and was stumbling around——

* Duang! *

Suddenly a deep bell resounded.

”——E?”

That sound and the one from the Cross Field were different; it had a slightly solemn and calm tone, which made Lux speechless for a moment.

”Everyone, take a break for a bit. If anyone still has the strength to get down from the carriage and look, you can see good things.”

Soon after he heard Relie’s voice, Lux gently straightened Philuffy, opened the curtains and looked out the carriage.

Then——

”Uwa.”

He couldn’t help but issue a sound of admiration.

”……Amazing.”

”Beautiful….There actually is such a city.”

The girls jumped down from the carriage parked on the hillside and as they saw this scene, they also let out sounds of admiration.

Reflected in their eyes were the majestic white gold walls surrounding the octagonal city.

There were watch towers located at each of the eight corners, surrounding the giant hemispherical palace in the middle, divided into beautiful blocks dotted with numerous jungle and clear lakes.

Inside those blocks, one could also see lots of house built with red bricks and buildings made out of marbles, with distinct order of elevation, covering the entire block in bright colors.

Antique castles and buildings were characteristics of the city.

People probably built up this city based on that theme.

”The Ruin City, Ruin’s Gear. Right now, inside of the Principality of Wanheim it can be compared with the capital as big cities.”

Jumping off from the carriage next to Lux, the Academy Headmaster and also Philuffy’s sister——Relie came to them and said.

“Ruin, City (Ruin’s, Gear) ……”

In his childhood, back when he started living inside the Old Empire palace, Lux had heard about this city.

The Second Ruin “Dungeon” was located just below the city, and it had already been integrated with the city.

The city had set up a lot of defense bases to combat the Abyss that came out from inside the ruin, at the same time there was also research of the treasures that were excavated from the ruin, causing this place to become a stage for the research institutions to compete.

Built in the center was a palace, the upper part was the residential area which was called as the Canopy, the middle had a big opening, and underground there was a gate that connected to the Dungeon.

Originally, if there was no exploration license you couldn’t go into the Ruin, but because of this site was too special, so to a certain extent it could be an exception.

”I used to come here to negotiate, but this is my first time coming here since I became the headmaster. Wait till after going through this mountain we will be able to get to the Ruin City immediately.”

“Yeah, right on time, I’m also feeling a little motion sickness, I can breathe out a little after hearing that.”

Lux sighed with relief, Relie smiled at him and said.

”You have nothing else to say? But well, this is Lux’s style.”

”What do you mean?”

Lux was puzzled a little, Relie revealed a rare subtle expression, and then remove her line of sight.

”The messenger from the palace told me, that you acted as the bait for the “Imperial Capital Recapture Plan” in order to save me? Sorry, only now I come to say thank you.”

”You really don’t need to thank me, I also volunteered to do so. As Airi said, I’m just messing around.”

Lux said with a wry smile, Relie also faintly smiled and said.

“You really haven’t changed at all, really——It’s great to have you beside Phi.”

Relie seemed to think so from her heart, but the fact was, it was Lux who wanted to say those words.

When he was little, Lux witnessed the Old Empire abandoned its citizens when they were in dangers and fell into a hell of despair. If not for Philuffy who saved him at the time, his future would not have been as bright.

(That’s right, that time——to create a happy life for Airi and Philuffy, I vowed to be at war with the Old Empire.)

This was the only desire that the young Lux craved.

In order to achieve this desire, Lux studied from his imperial brother Fugil, read all of the books in the palace and devoted himself in Drag-Ride training.

At that time, he firmly believed that, as a member of the royal family, he would be able to do it——

However, in the end he didn’t achieve it.

Just before Lux seized the answer to his conviction, the unfinished result was taken away.

After that, he then traveled around the country as a chore prince to observe the situation after the revolution, and finally came to the school to get a new life.

Right now——

“At the very least, just treat this as an elder person meddling with other’s businesses, but I think you should be more concerned about yourself. If you have any troubles later, you can absolutely shrink away from responsibility and let the adults go solve it. At least I don’t want you to have bad memories because of me.”

“If Relie-san is in jail, I and Philuffy will be sad.”

”Is that so……Maybe you’re right.”

Lux immediately replied, Relie smiled.

”Headmaster, it’s almost time to go.”

At this moment, instructor Raigree came up and said so, Relie nodded.

”Alright, then let’s go. If Phi is still sleeping, I’ll trouble you to go wake her up.”

”Yes.”

Lux nodded his head and went back to the carriage.

After another thirty minutes, they reached the Ruin City (Ruin’s Gear) of the Principality of Wanheim.
