Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 8 Episode 4 (section)

===Part 6===

At seven o’clock in the evening──after dinner, the night of the middle of autumn.

At that time when the darkness was starting to deepen, a girl’s silhouette was facing the headmaster office.

「Excuse me.」

The person knocked and informed her presence. Then when she entered, there was Relie sitting down with a smile.

「My? Thank you for your hard work today. There will be a holiday used for the tidying up, so it’s still fine not to be that rushed you know?」

「You are the same like always, headmaster.」

Celis smiled wryly at Relie’s jesting tone.

Thinking back, she who was straight-laced at the root sometimes would also think 『this person is playing around』 about Relie. But right now she was thankful with her affable attitude.

「I believe headmaster know about my intention. I wish to take responsibility for the result this time by resigning from the position of an aide of Seven Dragon Paladins.」

When Celis said that with a dejected air, Relie let out a breath and smiled bitterly.

「The youngsters these days are overly serious aren’t there? Even someone like me is staying unashamedly as headmaster after committing a mistake that great. What you did was for the sake of helping the new kingdom itself, it was something that someone had to do. Besides at times a match is a matter of luck. In fact the two of you obtained a draw──」

「I got captured by someone because I had my focus distracted by unnecessary thing. If not for that, we wouldn’t be forced to fight under those disadvantageous conditions. As expected, the cause of our defeat was because of my immature heart. That is my conclusion.」

「Regarding that suspicious 『enemy』, that matter too is still being investigated even now. It won’t be too late to make your decision after the result come out.」

Relie ran her pen smoothly on her paperwork while speaking dispassionately.

But, Celis took a deep breath, then she presented the letter that had her notice of resignation from being the aide written inside in front of Relie.

「I’m grateful for your consideration. But──the current me have no more confidence to continue being Lux’s aide.」

Because when she was at Lux’s side, her heart wouldn’t be able to calm down for some reason.

She saw the phantom of Wade while she still didn’t understand the cause of it, and then her opening at that moment was taken advantage of.

She couldn’t continue being Lux’s aide while her condition was still like this.

「……I understand. Then I will hold on to this letter.」

「Please. Then──」

After saying that briefly, Celis turned around and headed toward the courtyard.

She basked in the night’s wind in order to sort her feeling.
