Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 3 Episode 5 (section)

===Part 4===

On the other side of the match that was reaching the climax──a shadow was moving secretly.

In the empty library that was closed up without even a librarian inside at the present time.

The one who was at the deepest passage lined up with bookshelves was the girl called Saniya Lemiste.

This girl who originally should be watching the fight of Celis, who she went so far as to idolize as an elder sister, told everyone around her that she would be resting inside her own room right now with the excuse of recuperating.

Her braided hair shook slightly while she was putting the key in her hand into the keyhole of the door in front of her. She then twisted.

*Click* Such sound resounded and the lock opened. Then Saniya chuckled.

「Fufu, it gave me a hard time but, with this, finally──」

「You will be able to search the off limits place──is that it? Saniya-senpai.」

「……!?」

Saniya turned around towards the sudden voice. There three girls were standing.

Lux’s little sister, Airi Arcadia. On both her sides were Tillfur and Noct of the Triad.

「……What is your business? Aren’t you going to watch your big brother’s battle, Airi-chan?」

「Yes. Airi too greatly wanted to do that, but she came here because of your fault. Please take responsibility.」

「That’s right. When Airi-chan is explaining Lux-chi’s fight, her spirit is really different you seee.」

「……Well, putting aside that kind of inconsequential thing.」

Airi straightened her back while her cheeks were reddening slightly.

And then, she cleared her throat *cough* and directed a serious gaze at Saniya.

「I want to know one thing. What are you looking for? Senior of Syvalles──. No, Heiburg Republic’s spy-san.」

「…………」

Saniya’s eyes turned round hearing those words that were said casually.

「Haa…… no matter how antagonistic I am to your big brother, but to call me a spy of another country is just──. I am really hated here. It hurt.」

「It seems that you enrolled into this Academy two years ago, as a daughter of a noble living in a remote region, but it appears that you are an adopted child in the Lemiste House isn’t it? It was hard to obtain proof with just that and until now we didn’t find out, but recently, you finally showed a large movement.」

「…………」

Saniya responded calmly. In response, Airi pushed out a bundle of slightly dirty papers.

They were letters addressed to Heiburg, written by Saniya with the internal conditions of the Academy.

「We already reported this to the headmaster and the government office too. If you don’t want to say what you are scheming, then please receive interrogation slowly by all means in the prison of the royal capital.」

Airi calmly asserted and cast her eyes down.

Then, Saniya leaked out a small bitter smile and stood up.

「Are you planning, to capture me?」

「Yes. Please don’t move from that spot. In any case, you don’t have any more chances of victory.」

「Right right. We had already called everyone else in Syvalles before this too.」

Noct and Tillfur stood in front of Airi and pulled out their Sword Device altogether.

But, even after being told the fact that she along with the library had been surrounded, Saniya wasn’t agitated at all.

「Hmph……. I’m impressed that you all can be a bit clever but──looks like you are miscalculating.」

Saniya made a fearless smile while untying her braided hair.

And then she narrowed her eyes slightly and emitted a fierce aura that was completely different from her usual intellectual impression.

Her long hair spread out roughly. Her eyes glinted sharply.

Saniya grinned while sending a ferocious hostility that gave the impression of a hungry carnivore.

「To show my respect to you three who saw through me, I’ll teach you what I was planning. My mission is to massacre all of you. To destroy the combat force of the New Kingdom──right here!」

And then, Saniya pulled out her Sword Device.

「……Come, the winged dragon of crest, the symbol of power. Obey my sword and soar, Wyvern.」

「-……!?」

A moment later, Noct and Tillfur also summoned their respective Drag-Rides and wore armor on their bodies.

Saniya was emitting a terrible killing intent, but the Drag-Ride she was using was a general purpose Drag-Ride, Wyvern.

If the members of Syvalles came to reinforce the two, she wasn’t an opponent that they couldn’t beat.

When the three thought like that──

–

iIiiiiIiII……!

–

「……This sound is──!?」

Suddenly, a dissonant sound could be heard from somewhere. Airi plugged her ears reflexively.

A flute’s sound.

A sound that was teeming with an evil omen of destruction──from the horn flute that called the Abyss.

But, there was no Abyss that appeared in that place. In exchange Saniya’s summoned Wyvern suddenly accomplished a bizarre transformation.

*Snap*, something like dark red blood vessels crawled on its surface, the armor creaked as though it was screaming, and the Force Core was tinged with an ominous radiance.

The Drag-Ride that should be made from inorganic substance was wriggling──like a living thing.

「What’s, this……? Is that really a Drag-Ride!?」

「Unknown! What in the world, is──!?」

Tillfur and Noct faltered. Behind them, Airi was backing away.

「Now! Let’s end this idiotic selection battle and start a real war! You bunch of sheltered nobles!」

Saniya’s eyes snapped widely open, and right after that the strange-looking frame activated.
