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

===Part 4===

”……..Err, why is there no room for me?”

Lux went directly back to the dormitory, after eating dinner.

In order to prepare for tomorrow’s test, he was originally scheduled to sleep in this dormitory today, but there happened to be a small problem.

For the Class promotion exam this time, there were rooms prepared for Dilwy, the New Kingdom soldiers, and the female students.

But all the rooms were full, and there was no extra room for Lux to stay.

“I’m sorry, Lux-kun. I thought it would not be a problem for you and Phi to sleep in the same room.”

”Here’s a foreign country, I beg you not to not give us special treatment even here, alright!?”

It seemed Relie originally intended to let Lux and Philluffy share a room, but she got warned by the dormitory administrator, and of course it couldn’t be accommodated.

“Okay, there is an empty bed in my room, why don’t you comes sleep there?

Coral who happened to pass by heard their conversation on the first floor of the dormitory and proposed that.

Lux did not hesitate to agree, and finally decided to stay in his room for one night.

“Thank you very much, you’re a big help.”

Lux took the luggage and followed Coral in the hallway.

”You’re welcome. I’m guessing from the headmaster’s words before, Lux, do you sleep together with that girl at the New Kingdom’s Academy?”

”Of, of course not!? I certainly sleep alone!”

Lux couldn’t say that not long ago he was still sleeping with Philuffy. Coral showed a wry smile.

It appeared that this guy was very friendly and liked to joke.

”Ahaha, but Lux-kun seems to have a very good relationship with them. Even though you’re a prince of the old empire——“

“……”

Coral casually uttered a sentence, but it made Lux to become silence.

“Ah, sorry, did I say anything strange?”

Coral took notice of his reaction and hurriedly apologized.

“No, don’t mind it, I’m just feeling relieved.”

Lux answered with a stiff smile.

In fact, Coral’s unintentional words really touched Lux’s heart.

No, since coming to the Principality of Wanheim that was still hostile to the Old Empire, or to be more precise ever since meeting the man in the academy——Singlen, Lux had been worried about something

(Is it really okay for me to stay like this?)

Meeting with Lisha and the other girls at the academy, Lux got a new place to belong.

He would become the shield for the girls that were the New Kingdom pillars, and become their strength.

This was the worth of Lux’s life now, and also his purpose of living.

Originally, that should be the case ——

”Well, I’m going to greet Milmiette–sama, you can rest in the room first.”

”A, yes, thank you.”

Lux gently waved farewell to Coral walking out of the room, and then relaxingly sighed.

Here was a foreign military dormitory, a person staying here would still be very tense, fortunately however, he shared the same room with acquaintance Coral, this made him felt relieved.

”Living in the city just above a Ruin……always can’t be at ease.”

Lux sat on a side-by-side bed by himself.

Cross Field that was acting as a defense point against Ruin also had the same danger level like this place, but he was still slightly concerned.

Although he thought of this, but right now it had been a long time since he didn’t have to worry about doing chore. Lux decided to take a deep rest.

Lux crossed his hand and stretched over his head, it felt like his shoulders were a little stiff.

”Please feel at ease, master. Even if the Abyss or the Principality of Wanheim attacks, I will defend you.”

”…………I am relieved to hear you said so. But surely there will be no problem.”

He felt there was someone with comfortable strength excellently massaging his shoulders.

In this extremely comfortable feeling, his spirit gradually relaxed, then Lux suddenly reflected——

”……….E, eeeeh!?”

Surprised, Lux reflexively jumped out of the bed.

Sitting behind him was a girl wearing an exotic dress——Kirihime Yoruka

”Wait a bit!? Why!? How come——!?”

It shouldn’t be possible for her to be here, Lux’s brain instantly went blank.

”Ara? It was a long way from the Cross Field City to here, I think master must have stiff shoulders, right?”

”I’m not talking about that!? My shoulders are not important! Compared to that, how did you get here——?”

Yoruka had not officially completed the admission process.

So she couldn’t be accepted in the Class promotion exam. It should not be possible for her participate in this expedition.

No, not only that, originally to enter the Principality of Wanheim, there must be a lot of procedures to handle.

Thinking so Lux looked uneasily at Yoruka, she smiled brightly to give her master peace in mind.

“Please feel at ease, I smuggled in.”

”This is the worst answer!? What would you do if you were found!?”

Although he wasn’t sure of the law of the Principality of Wanheim, but it would be no doubt that she would go to jail.

Of course, incidentally, the New Kingdom would be dragged into the trouble.

“Master, your concern is uncalled for. No one noticed along the way, and if I were discovered, I’m going to shut them up.”

Yoruka indifferently declared, Lux felt a little dizzy.

Although they agreed that she couldn’t kill anymore, but she was a born-assassin.

It would only be a headache if he tried to get to the bottom of this, but he couldn’t just let Yoruka wander around freely like that.

After all, he had rescued her and made her as his courtiers, so she was his own responsibility.

”That, Yoruka…….since you’ve come here, there’s no other way, but I hope while you’re here try not to be found, can you do that?”

”I understand. Then let me hide in this closet, or the bed is also OK.”

”I beg you, find a place outside of this room to hide!”

”You are really nervous master, and this is the enemy’s place, if I cannot be ready to serve master at anytime, then I would not be able to do the work of a follower.”

”No, this country for better or worse has at least signed the World Agreement…..”

””But——it seemed to me something is wrong.”

”E…..?”

Suddenly Yoruka’s tone was lowered by eight degrees, and a glamorous smile appeared.

Then she sat on the bedside, brought her face rapidly toward Lux.

”Master seems have been on guard ever since he came to this country.”

It was a transparent purple eye.

In this pair of eyes, that had accepted Hayes “baptism” and won the devils power, Lux’s face was reflected.

He was afraid, that this pair of eyes could see through every corner of Lux’s heart.

”It’s nothing, you think too much, I was just wondering what has happened before in this country, what did the Old Empire had done here, I just feel a bit concerned about these things——“

Yoruka nodded quietly, listening to Lux’s voice.

”…….About a dozen years ago, the royal family of the Arcadia Empire invaded this land. Their justification to foreign countries was only to compete for territorial’s rights, but as for the truth it was not known, however——”

Yoruka paused, then continued.

”Greifer Nest. I remember that his father sold information to the Old Empire, which determined the victory and defeat of this war, at least that is what I’ve heard. Of course, this is only the story from the Old Empire’s side.”

“……”

The thief who sold intelligence to the Old Empire was his father.

Whether this was true or not, this must be fate between Greifer and the New Kingdom.

”I only heard of these. Then, I will leave the room without leaving any traces, but please let me be able to respond immediately and stay within the scope of master’s call.”

”Well, so be it. But, this time as long as I don’t order, you are not allowed to interfere with anything no matter who.”

”I understand, master.”

Yoruka gave a warm smile and opened the door quietly, then disappeared into the dark corridor.

Her movements were so natural that it brought surprises, at most it seemed to come from her own special intuitions, she should be aware that the other people couldn’t do it.

”Fuu……..”

Finally able to breath, Lux directly laid down on the bed.

There was no helping thinking about the past.

Lux knew that wanting to cut off his connection to the Old Empire that even he did not completely understand is very foolish.

(But——)

Airi seemed somewhat strange.

The code of Over Limit that he became unable to remember..

Then, the ambition to let the Drag-Knights establishing a new system of domination, “Seven Dragon Paladins” vice captain, Singlen Shelbrit.

Originally he was looking forward to the Class promotion exam in this country, but it looked like there were some unrests hiding behind a hazy layer of fog.
