Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 12 Episode 5 (section)

===Part 9===
「Soffice, what will we do from now desu?」

One supervisor, and one Automata.

Re Plica asked her master inside the prison under the hangar where there were only the two of them.

「……About what?」

Soffice didn’t move in the slightest with both her arms in shackles.

There was no emotion at all in her expression. It even looked like she was wearing a mask.

「Those people, aren’t bad people desu.」

「I heard that before.」

「The people of Syvalles, all of them are good natured people.」

「I know. I met several people while here, I talked to them.」

Soffice replied indifferently.

Even so there was no emotion mixed at all in her voice.

「How about trying to trust one more time desu? Soffice was always alone all this time desu! You were betrayed by the imperial family of the Old Empire, lost your little sister, even so in order to fulfill your mission as a Key’s Supervisor, you stifled down just about all your emotions desu.」

「My mission is already over. I’ve done everything that I can. After this, the only opposition that I can do, is to not hand over Avalon to the enemy so easily.」

「You lie desu! Even though the truth is──you want comrades more than anyone! You are only running away because you are scared to get hurt desu!」

「……Uruk, my little sister died for the sake of the Key’s Supervisor’s mission. She persisted in her wish for peace and died. If I got tricked here because I want comrades, she would have died for nothing.」

「Soffice……」

「This is fine, Re Plica. It’s not like I’m cursing my fate. Just── those siblings are really interesting. They were like us in the past, it’s nostalgic.」

The always expressionless Soffice showed a faint emotion.

Re Plica was about to say something in response to that, but in that moment a sound resounded inside the prison.

*GAN GAN GAN GAN-!*

High pitched bell sound was ringing repeatedly with terrific speed.

Even Soffice who was ignorant of the New Kingdom’s regulation immediately noticed the meaning of that bell sound.

「Abyss attack? This late at night?」

「No, the way they rang the bell isn’t normal desu. Don’t tell me, this is──」

Right after Re Plica muttered that nervously, a magnified voice due to a Drake’s functions could be heard.

『Emergency! Students are to gather towards the hangar right away! It’s an emergency situation! The silhouette of Moon and a large swarm of the Abyss appeared inside the Academy grounds! Uguh, a……!』

The voice was cut off in the middle. The scream of a man who seemed to be a guard Drag-Knight drowned it over.

「─────」

The content of those words that were hard to believe made Soffice and Re Plica exchange gazes.

「What, does this mean? Did you, move the Moon?」

「I moved it a bit but, I didn’t let out any Abyss desu! Or rather, how did the Moon come until the Academy even though the Key’s Supervisor and the Gear Leader me aren’t there desu!?」

「I don’t know……. Even if Krulcifer discovered the Moon’s location, she shouldn’t know how to operate it. If there was anyone who knew that much……」

「It’s also possible this is just a diversion you know desu? Like Dragon Marauder releasing faulty information to save us──」

At that time when they were starting to discuss various possibilities, there was sound coming from outside the prison.

「……That’s also an interesting method but, unfortunately this time it’s different.」

The door was opened with creaking sound along with a joking smile.

「We came to save you incompetent supervisor-sama. My bad but, our contract with you ends here. From here on we will obey the instructions of our first employer.」(Drakkhen)

There, three Dragon Marauders were standing while carrying Airi who lost consciousness.

In addition, even further behind them, a girl wearing a black robe and clad with an ominous aura was standing.

The curtains of a frenzied stage was raised at the end of the tranquil Holy Night Festival.
