Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 8 Episode 3 (section)

===Part 2===

It wasn’t like there wasn’t any stall on the open ground of the Academy, but there was a lot more inside the campus building.

From first floor until third floor, various decorations were applied at each class. The place was crowded just like a small town.

There was a room that was extravagantly decorated even among all of them.

In that room that had red carped spread out and smooth gleaming furniture and implements put inside, Lux was immediately helping out with the stall.

「Eerr──, many thanks Ojou-sama. Wha, what would be your order?」

「Right. Cookie and black tea, I’ll leave the choice to you. After all I have a palate that can eat anything.」

The one who was staring at Lux with a gaze that was filled with suggestiveness was Magialca of Seven Dragon Paladins.

The company president who was wearing showy red cloak was relaxing on a sofa enjoyably.

In addition beside her was the big sister of his very close childhood friend, Relie sitting there.

「That appearance look really good on you Lux-kun. What do you think? When you graduate from Academy, won’t you try to formally work in my place as secretary?」

「No, that’s a bit……」

「That’s right, Lux-kun will live together with Phi, so it can’t be helped.」

「That’s not it, just what in the world this refreshment booth is!?」

Lux yelled toward the two guests in bewilderment.

The current Lux wasn’t wearing the attire of a waiter, but a butler outfit with black color as base for some reason.

After he received the request, he was taken by the girls into a café that was named 『Butler Mansion』.

Lux heard that it was 『work for man』 and jumped to a hasty conclusion that it would surely be a physical labor, but he never imagined that he himself would be working as a café staff.

Magialca and Relie came as his first customer.

「Or rather, dressing as butler in the academy for girls is──」

Even though it was an exception for Lux who was a male to be enrolled, but to think they would attempt this kind of refreshment booth.

But, Relie jested as though she wasn’t concerned about it at all.

「My. Perhaps it’s hard for a boy like Lux-kun to understand, but it’s exactly because this is a girl academy that this kind of thing is unexpectedly demanded you know? Besides, this time there are also special guests participating.」

At the neighboring space, there were two young men standing disguised in similar butler attire.

The Seven Dragon Paladins of Wanheim Principality Greifer, and his aide Coral who were staying here during the campus festival.

It was shocking that they were helping at this refreshment booth, but unexpectedly the attire suited the two really well.

Greifer gave bad and rough impression, but that instead became an interesting mismatch, while Coral was the very definition of cute young man, so it also felt like he would be popular.

「How nice, the three of them are really nicee……if Lux-kun will stay here until the end, we will be able to make a bet of who will be the most popular but──」

「Last year we had Sharis-senpai to dress in male outfit but, real boy is also not bad isn’t it……. Or rather, right now it’s heating up the most! Inside me that is!」

At the back of the refreshment booth, the girls who were the organizer were yelling without hiding their exaltation.

「Oi Coral. Why is it me who came for the summit has to dress like this yeah?」

The one who was making the most fed-up looking face was Greifer as expected.

He whose personality was originally peevish seemed to be led bit by bit by his aide Coral somehow and got roped into this.

「You are free anyway right? Besides Milmiette-sama also told you to cooperate with the festival, right?」

「Guh, I’m not gonna forget this……」

Greifer who was told off by Coral was serving the customers with extremely reluctant face.

「Oi you bunches of Ojou-sama, order quickly! Go home right away after you finished eating.」

He was acting unbecomingly as a butler, but unexpectedly it was accepted as interesting.

Lux had noticed it when he went to Wanheim Principality, but Greifer was actually very good at looking out for other people despite his appearance, so perhaps he was unexpectedly suited for a butler role. He couldn’t say that to the person himself though.

「Rather than that, thanks for your hard work Lux-kun. Sorry that I couldn’t help you at the conference because of my position then.」

While Lux was thinking of such things, Coral who was wearing similar butler attire while doing waiter work called out to him with an apologetic look.

What Coral meant by help at the conference must be referring to the announcement of skill demonstration battle where the prize would be the right to investigate the Ruin──Babel at the new kingdom.

But, the other countries also had their own circumstances. They were staying vigilant against the aim of the Lords and didn’t wish to expose their hand.

As expected, it would be too harsh to expect Coral who was only an aide in the end to speak up at that time.

「No, don’t worry about it. But, is it okay for you two to work here? Coral and Greifer originally should be honored guest though──」

「No. There is no academy festival like this in Wanheim Principality, so I’m happy to be asked to blend in. ……I can also see Greifer dressed like that.」

Coral chuckled mischievously and gazed at his working comrade.

In contrast Greifer heard that while staring this way with displeased expression.

「Oi! You guys don’t have idle talk like that! There is long line until outside waiting!」

It was a refreshment booth where handsome boys dressed as butler would be serving the young ladies.

It seemed that rumor was spread and before they noticed many guests came rushing.

(It feels like the people in the queue are all this academy’s students though──)

Even though everyone was basically lady from good place, from Lux’s view point this was a sight that he couldn’t really understand.

But, it seemed that it was an established practice that this kind of booth was popular.

「Ahaha, we got scolded. Then Lux-kun. Let’s do our best.」

Coral muttered that with a gentle smile and returned to his work in hurry.

There were three seats inside the room──, Lux returned to the table he was in charge of.

It seemed that there was also a hidden menu of the butler giving service of feeding the customer cookie from what he was told.

(Really, just what is with this shop……)

While Lux was serving Magialca with bafflement, her eyes suddenly sparkled bewitchingly. She suddenly leaned on the chest of Lux who was sitting on the sofa beside her.

「Hmm. Is alcohol used in this cookie? I’m a bit drunk. Can you nurse me for a bit?」

「Wai-, please don’t suddenly hug like this!? Also please don’t stroke my thigh!」

At the outside she was a petite girl that was about the same like Lisha, but her hand manner and mature gesture gave him the impression of an older woman about the same age with Relie.

Her trained lithe body stuck close on him. She was hugging him while her finger crawled on his chest.

The organizers of the booth who saw that approached them in panic.

‘Thank god. I’m saved’──Lux thought, but.

「Dear guest. There will be additional charge for special option of lap pillow though?」

「Why is the hidden menu that I didn’t know is rapidly increasing-!?」

And then why was everyone competing to earn money despite being a rich person already he wondered.

The moment Lux yelled reflexively, Headmaster Relie unexpectedly interrupted.

「Sorry Magialca. I got scolded by the public moral committee member who passed through just now. ──I need to stop you here in my position.」

「Public moral committee……member?」

When Lux tilted his head, Relie smiled wryly while looking toward the corridor.

「My bad but, I’m not allowed to talk due to the person’s wish. That girl──she is really awkward.」

「……?」

Lux was pondering for a while 「Who could it be……」 hearing Relie’s words that were filled with significance.

But, he was worked to death with work as waiter and he was unable to reach the answer at that place.
