Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 9 Episode 3 (section)

===Part 1===

「──Err, is around here all right I wonder?」

Inside the ground of Academy at fort city Cross Field, night.

It was past curfew, in that time where originally people should be asleep, Lux was coming alone behind the school building where there was no sign of people.

It seemed the Lisha was working until late at night like usual, the atelier of Drag-Ride that could be seen at afar had small lighting leaking out from there.

Lux was waiting in that place following the instruction written in the request application.

Lux was busy because of the sudden turn since the campus festival, but because soon he would leave the Academy because of his duty, he wished to do the chores that the student requested him.

「But, as I thought this is strange huh……?」

Lux was shivering from the chilly air of night at beginning of autumn while tilting his head and talked to himself.

One of the written requests that was handed to Lux the other day had this kind of content written in it.

–

【Working area】 Secret

【Client】 Secret

【Work description】 For the time being, please come to behind the school building when it’s bedtime. I will talk about the work there.

Please, absolutely come without fail. If you run then I’ll barge into your room.

–

Through his life of doing chores for five years, Lux had also received several outrageous requests.

A request from doctor to drink a medicine that was in the middle of development.

A work from the weak-minded father who requested Lux to scold his son whose age was twice that of Lux.

Requests like capturing fierce beastpet that escaped and so on, it still caused him to feel headache when he recalled them.

He firmly rejected A request from an artist that wanted him to get naked as model.

But, as expected, he couldn’t really remember something like a request with the client’s name and the job description obscured.

At the very least, this had never happened even once since he came to this Academy and started to specialize in receiving request.

(I thought that this might be a prank or some kind of mistake though──)

With the inadequate explanation in the written request, originally it should be fine even if he ignored this, but,

–

『Please, absolutely come without fail. If you run then I’ll barge into your room.』

–

This part was strangely scary, so in the end Lux came here.

The possibility was low, but this might be a trap, so he was acting vigilant at minimum.

While he was standing quietly like that, before long the air behind him shook, *rustle* a small sound could be heard.

「Tha, thank you for waiting. You come here means that you accepted the request, right……?」

「Ah, good evening.」

When a girl in uniform appeared, Lux greeted with a smile.

The face of the girl whose hair hung down until her eyes looked a bit familiar.

Because her class was different from Lux, there really wasn’t any point of contact between them, but she was a female student of the same year with him who was a civil official candidate.

Her name if he remember right was──,

「Err, I am, called……Nina. There is something that I, earnestly, wish to consult with you about a request……」

It seemed that the girl had a shy character, she was taking off her gaze from Lux and muttered with halting tone.

Perhaps it was also because of her shyness that her request had nothing written on it.

(I’m glad. It looks like it’s a normal request unlike what I thought……)

Lux was relieved. He made a soft smile to reassure the girl and spoke.

「Yes. That’s fine but this place is cold, so how about talking inside the dormitory? Also, if possible please write just what kind of request it is inside the request form beforehand──」

「Tha, that’s no  good-!」

The moment Lux asked, the girl’s expression changed and her voice roughened.

「Thi, this is a secret request! Please don’t mention it to anyone! The reason I’m calling you to this empty place is also because of that-……!」

「E, err……?」

While Lux was bewildered, the girl walked toward him as though to pressure him.

Flame of cornered emotion was smoldering from the gap of her front hair. The glint of her eyes looked vaguely dark.

The girl talked with a terribly tense aura overflowing from her like a person who hadn’t drunk water for several days in the desert.

–

「I want you to teach me Krulcifer-san’s weak point. That──is my request!」

–

「……Yes?」

Lux’s mouth gaped open for a few seconds hearing that.

And then, the most bizarre odd job that Lux had ever received in the Academy began.
