Editing Hyouketsu Kyoukai no Eden:Volume 6 Final Chapter (section)

===Part 11===

Gun and crossed rods <Rosario>. In a place away from where two people put away their respective weapons──

“Hey, Sheltis, come on, Sheltis.”

“Shh. Quiet, Ilis, they’ll hear us.”

Covering Ilis who was blinking with liveliness, Sheltis once again hid himself in the shadow of the crystals.

“Mu─, I said it’d be fine if you went out. The one who subjugated the remaining Yuugenshu in this underground cave was you so it isn’t it fine if you just grandly appear?”

“……Well, there’s a mountain of stuff I want to do.”

He held his dual swords in his hands.

Wiping the sweat flowing from his forehead, Sheltis slowly sat down.

“Ah─, that was tiring.”

“Good work. That was fourteen aboveground and twenty five underground for a total of thirty nine. The average time taken was 12 minutes, 5 seconds and you also did well in keeping your injuries down to two light wounds. These are results enough to make a Priestess or Sennenshi go pale.”

“……It seems like the underground was the Yuugenshu’s home grounds.”

He had a bad feeling when the Yuugenshu had split the surface of the great salt lake and appeared.

That S vector, eighth class did not invite them to that crevice to split their unit in two. It was to surround them with the Yuugenshu waiting underground.

“It was a silver lining that Monica was there.”

“Truly.”

If Monica had not quickly erected a shinryoku barrier, they would have been attacked by the Yuugenshu troops following the ‘S vector, eighth class‘.

──In reality, dozens of Yuugenshu had been waiting just outside Monica’s barrier.

And the one who wiped them out was Sheltis.

“But you know, you should also thank me. Since I found the path through this underground cavern.”

“……Wasn’t that just a pitfall?”

He had Kagura and Vaiel stay aboveground to communicate with the reinforcements.

That left him to follow Ilis’ guidance and charge into the Yuugenshu den alone. And just like that, he had entered a rough battle of which nobody knew.

He alone had wiped out the dozens of Yuugenshu in the crystal cavern.

For those who didn’t know the circumstances, it was a number which would even cause Instructors to doubt their ears.

“But I’m glad.”

“……Mm?”

“I just had a little feeling that something might change.”

From the shadow of the crystals, he stealthily peeked in the direction the two were standing at.

──Horn was staring at her reflection in a crystal.

“Like I thought, Priestesses and Sennenshi have to get along.”

A deep gap had separated Ymy and Horn.

The only ones who could repair that were the people in question. That was why all he could do was support them from the shadows at the conclusion.

“Helping repair Ymy’s relations from behind the scenes, hmm. But you know, sometimes I want to have the chance to do showy things in the open.”

“……That’s all up to chance.”

{{furigana|Machine crystal|Ilis}} sighed and Sheltis answered that with a sigh of his own.
