Editing Masou Gakuen HxH:Volume 14 Chapter 2 (section)

===Part 2===
The captain of royal guard Leon squad Hyakurath was heading to the throne room with a nervous look.

──To be summoned out of nowhere like this……ju, just what kind of business could it be? Aa, my heart is beating so hard it feel like my heart will stop. No matter how much I think, I don’t have any idea at all what is this about……did I do some kind of blunder? No, there shouldn’t be any particular problem that happened recently. I also made my squad to keep the order, and there is also no soldier in my squad that caused commotion in the city…….

Aa, but perhaps they have done something that incur the wrath of other with me simply not noticing.

Uu……it makes my stomach hurt thinking about that…….

Bu, but if that’s the case……will I get, demoted?

……Ah, but that might not be bad.

That’s right. I’ve been thinking this since a long time ago. Being something like the captain of Leon squad is too heavy of a burden for me. That’s why it’s the correct choice to demote me. Everyone simply lionize me too much calling me something like sword saint and appointing me to a post that doesn’t suit my stature.

If I get demoted, maybe I’ll become a sword instructor……that’ll be nice. I’ll teach sword to the young cadets. And then, everyone will look up to me as the kind teacher……ufufu♪

Hyakurath arrived at the throne room while she was having such delusion and met with Grace.

「Hyakurath. Today I appoint you as the new royal guard captain.」

「……Ha?」

Hyakurath’s eyes turned into dot.

「From today you’re the top of the whole army of Vatlantis Empire. Be proud of that responsibility and glory. And then accomplish your duty superbly.」

Hyakurath’s face became pale. The cold sweat oozing from her whole body wouldn’t stop.

──What? What’s this? What’s this situation.

It’s a joke right?

Say that it’s a joke. Please.

She turned a shaking face toward the four Quartum.

「「「「New captain banzaaaai」」」」

They congratulated her with in monotone.

Grace made an apologetic face seeing Hyakurath trembling with tearful eyes.

「Forgive me for this informality due to the suddenness of the matter. Don’t be that displeased.」

「……!!!!」

Hyakurath’s mouth opened and closed. She shook her head left and right as fast as she could.

She wanted to say something, but no words came out.

「Today is just for the appointment. You don’t need to worry, we will hold the formal appointment ceremony before long.」

Tears spilled down from Hyakurath’s two eyes uncontrollably.

──Sto, stop. Please, I’m begging you.

She thought that, but no voice could come out due to the great shock.

Grace nodded with a pleased smile.

「Umu umu, I’m happy that you’re so greatly moved like that. I will prepare a grand ceremony for you.」

──HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIH!!

The, the captain of the royal guard?

The top of the whole army of Vatlantis Empire?

Thi, this me?

N, no, something like that is, scary.

This is a dream, that’s right, it’s a dream, a bad dream.

「You should prepare your speech in front of everyone at the appointment ceremony. After all the whole country will be watching.」

I, impossible! It’s completely impossible for me!!

「It’ll also be good to broadcast it to the whole world to give the impression of a new Vatlantis army. Something like the royal guard that is reborn by the sword saint, that sounds good. It will obtain the support from the populace with a clean image from here on.」

Hyakurath desperately held on her consciousness that was getting farther away.

「Do……do your best, do your best……Hyakurath……u……u……」
