Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 4 Episode 2 (section)

===Part 4===

Ten minutes later.

After Lux changed into his uniform and waited outside, Relie’s voice called out to him out of nowhere.

Fortunately after that Philuffy’s condition immediately recovered and it seemed she was resting right now.

According to the island’s physician, Philuffy might be affected by light anemia and heatstroke.

「Thank you for taking care of her. But I wonder, will it be better to teach you the way to take off a girl’s pilot suit for the future?」

After the health checkup was finished, Relie who came back to the boardinghouse said that to him jokingly.

Philuffy who had been changed into a thin sleepwear was lying down on the bed quietly.

「I beg you, please let me off already……」

When Lux said that with his head hanging down crestfallenly, Relie made a smile that was filled with implication.

「My? You’ll be taken advantage of if you apologize too much you know? Then, perhaps I should have Lux-kun formally take responsibility.」

「Excuse me, Relie-san, did you call me to bully me……?」

When Lux raised his face with a bitter expression, Relie chuckled a bit.

「That also sounds fun, but what I want to say is about a bit of work. Regarding Philuffy’s matter──」

「Eh……?」

Lux was puzzled hearing those unexpected words, and then,

「About what happened to her just now, recently the change in Philuffy’s physical condition is drastic. That’s why──during this training camp, can I have you take the role as my little sister’s attendant?」

「Attendant……is it?」

「Just as Lux-kun also knows, Philuffy doesn’t really let her emotions come out right? But, if it’s you my little sister won’t force herself, or maybe you will understand her even if it’s just from slight subtlety. ──What do you think? Can I rely on you?」

Certainly, it was just like Relie said.

For a moment, Lux wondered if a girl would be more suitable in various meanings to look after Philuffy, but if it was something like Relie said then Lux was the one suited for it.

However, gauging Philuffy’s emotion wasn’t something easy even for Lux though…….

「──I understand. If you are okay with me, then I’ll accept.」

He immediately resolved himself and accepted the request.

If there was something he could do for Philuffy’s sake, then he had no reason to refuse.

「Thank you, Lux-kun.」

Seeing the relieved Relie, Lux felt glad from the bottom of his heart that he received her request.

「By the way the spare underwear for her change of clothes is inside this closet.」

「Wait, why are you telling me such thing-!?」

Lux reflexively retorted when he saw the place Relie pointed at.

「I think that you will need it while looking after Philuffy.」

「Now see here……」

When Lux was exasperated toward Relie who was showing him a wide smile, Philuffy raised her face and said.

「When sleeping, I’m fine, even if I don’t wear clothes you know?」

「Thank you. Then there won’t be any problem then……not that!! That’s really bad you know!? How did it turn out like that!?」

Lux imagined for a moment Philuffy laying down on the bed naked before he shook his head flusteredly.

In the end, it was decided that he would call the other students when Philuffy needed to change clothes and he saw off Relie leaving.

「Fuu……. In any case, I’ll look after you, Phi-chan. Tell me right away if your condition worsens.」

「Yes. Thank you, Lu-chan.」

The two casually exchanged those words inside the room where they were left alone.

「Then, is there something you want me to do right now?」

When he said that for the time being to fill the silence,

「Heave-ho」

Philuffy got up slowly from the bed and began to take off her sleepwear that was a chic black blouse.

「Wai-!? What are you doing so suddenly!?」

「Changing clothes. ……Anything wrong?」

Lux was flustered instead when Philuffy replied so seriously.

「That’s not what I mean, that──I, I’ll call someone here so-……!?」

「……? My body, is already fine you know?」

「Ah, I, I see……! Then, I’ll be going-!」

There was no way he could stare at her changing there. Lux went out of the room.

As expected, looking after Philuffy who was doing this at her own pace was difficult. Lux realized that once more.
