Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 9 Episode 2 (section)

===Part 2===
「Ua, as expected this period of time is chilly……」

Outdoor at late autumn is cold on the skin, my shoulders are trembling.

Even though today is a holiday, several female students can be seen watering the flower bed at the courtyard.

「Good afternoon, Lisha-sama. Today is also cold isn’t it?」

「Nn, good morning. I want to ask something, is our school’s doctor coming?」

「The doctor……is it? Err, I greeted her when we passed each other before this, so I think she might be here though──」

「I see, that helps. Thank you.」

After exchanging greeting with a junior which has subtly time difference from each other, I head toward the medical office in the school building.

When I’m standing in front of a mirror hanging on the wall midway, I saw my face.

Crimson eyes and honey blond hair that is tied into side tail.

And then, the petite body in uniform appearance.

This is me, the princess of this new kingdom, Lizsharte Atismata’s appearance.

My face that is looking somewhat sleepy is a bit concerning but……right now it can’t be helped.

「Is the doctor here? My throat is a bit painful so I want medicine.」

I knock on the door lightly and enter into the medical room.

The chalk white room that neatly tidied has the smell of flower and characteristic medicine.

「My, isn’t this the princess. It’s rare that you are visiting here isn’t it?」

The exclusive female doctor of the Academy welcomes me with a smile.

She is still young for a doctor, and it seems among the students they are saying that she is quite the beauty.

「Ah……. The, then doctor, excuse me-!」

The student who was already inside rushed through beside me in a bit of panic out of the room.

Her behavior caught my attention a bit but, I put it out of my mind.

I sit down on the chair in front of the doctor and have her check my throat just in case.

「Even though the campus festival has been over just now, but there are already injured person. Everyone has it hard.」

「It’s not injury. I’m only giving her a bit of counsel. The care of the student’s heart is included in my work. ──Now, open your mouth?」

The doctor made a smile that is filled with implication and take a look inside my mouth.

It seems there isn’t any particular problem with it. The examination is over with me receiving a bit of medicine.

「I think your throat is still fine. Just──it’s not really good to stay up late you know? Your body’s immunity system will also deteriorate doing that, you have a beautiful skin and hair there, it will be a waste to worsen them.」

「Right now I’m at the final scene of my development. Combined with the ancient documents regarding Drag-Ride that has been newly deciphered, it will become possible to do something that no one has ever seen before. If that become reality, surely that guy will also be happy──」

「You said that guy, could you refer to Lux-kun there?」

「Hawah……!?」

The female doctor slipped out a chuckle seeing that she hit the bull’s eye, agitating me.

Lux Arcadia.

He was once a prince of the old empire that imposed a despotic rule. Together with the establishment of the new kingdom, he was given the status of criminal that is burdened with the obligation as the chores prince. His nickname is the Weakest Undefeated.

I who was enchanted by his strength and will enrolled him into the Academy, where he was taken in as the only male student here.

「Pardon me. I heard the story a little. He too accepted your request and became your personal knight──how nice being young.」

「……I, if the examination is over, I’ll go back now.」

I who become embarrassed get up to escape, but,

「But, it’s a waste. Even though you are putting in effort to obtain him after much trouble, you are mistaking your method──」

「……What do you mean?」

My foot comes to a stop still hearing her words. I turn around.

There, the doctor is looking at me with smile that is full of implication.

「About what I’m counseling that girl who was here just now you see, it’s about her discord with a friend at the same grade. It seemed that because she was immersing herself into the necessary study too much, their relationship became estranged.」

「After all everything needs to be done in moderation.」

When I reply carelessly like that, the doctor urged me to sit down by quietly pointing at a chair beside her.

「…………」

After I’m sitting down while tilting my head, she begin to continue her talk.

「You’re right. Certainly that girl made a mistake with her moderation. But, the relationship between man and woman is even more complicated you know? Event the instructor of you all, Raigree Balheart too, she immersed herself too much in her Drag-Knight duty that she missed her chance of marriage──she has the past of her lover running away from her.」

「Wa, was that so……?」

This is the first time I hear this but, I’m also a bit surprised that this doctor know about it.

Speaking of Instructor Raigree, even though she is a woman, but she is an accomplished Drag-Knight even since the era of old empire, even now she is an object of envy for the students.

「I, it’s unfortunate, but she had no luck with man huh.」

「You appointed him──Lux-kun as your personal knight, and I think that it’s a really good thing. But, right now it looks like you are feeling content with that contract and putting your effort into a wrong direction.」

「…….Fuh」

I showed a wry smile at the gentle warning of the doctor and lift up my face.

「I don’t hate that, trying to threaten me who even though I look this but I’m still a princess, what’s more it’s just for killing time. ──But, right now I’m busy. My Drag-Ride research is also for Lux’s sake, and it will also be necessary for me to prepare for the battle in the future. I’m going back now.」

「Now, don’t say that. Can you please listen a bit more? Giving advice to student is like an occupational disease for me. Of course, I don’t intend to force you or anything though──how about it?\

The doctor isn’t even perturbed by my objection and continues with a mature way of talking.

It’s not a problem to ignore her but, I’m also a bit curious to just turn her down like this.

「Let’s hear it, just in case. Although it’s of a different type, but I too am someone afflicted with occupational disease after all.」

「Thank you. Then, I’ll speak frankly. You are doing a really great blunder. If you are thinking to make him yours as a woman, then this mistake of yours can even be called as fatal.」

「Wha-……!?」

Those words that are like a surprise attack flustered me.

My face that is reflected on the mirror at the wall is becoming bright red.

「You have an important position and a really rare talent even in this new kingdom. You are fighting as a member of this Academy’s Syvalles and as a princess, you are also developing Drag-Ride, and soon you will also begin your public duty as a princess. What’s more, you are performing them with your all. You are thinking that doing those will also be for his sake──but you see」

The doctor paused her words for the moment and brings her face closer to me.

「I think that your effort is wonderful but──in the end, human is animal, especially the creature called 『man』.」

「……What do you want to say?」

「It will be difficult to make him yours with your method, that’s what I’m saying.」

The doctor asserted that and smiled wryly.

「Man won’t be charmed at woman even if you show them a noble objective or pursuing the ideal. Rather than those kinds of things, they will come to like woman by following a more instinctual emotion. That’s why at this rate you will fail. Especially in your situation, there are a lot of formidable rivals around you correct?」

「…………」

‘There is no such thing.’ I cannot say that.

Several things come to mind hearing her words.

Krulcifer whose push is excessively strong recently, Lux’s childhood friend Philuffy who is clingy on him, Syvalles’s captain Celis who use the campus festival as excuse to give Lux an indecent kiss.

And then recently even that ero woman is sticking close to Lux.

「It’s wonderful that you are putting so much effort. But──your thinking that it will link to him recognizing you as 『woman』 is mistaken. Like that, to him you won’t be nothing more but 『his lord as a knight』 or 『an able mechanic』.」

「…………」

The doctor’s words are tearing apart my chest.

Certainly, it’s great that I made Lux as my personal knight, but it’s not like my relationship with him at personal level is deepened because of that……, perhaps it’s true.

「……I, I get it. Bu, but──what should I do then?」

Until now I’m spending a life that is mostly unrelated with man, so I don’t really understand the way to make a boy the same age like Lux happy.

And so when I ask bluntly, the doctor gives me the answer.

「Let’s see, to make a boy in your heart fall for you, first it’s important to confirm your weapon.」

「My, weapon……?」

「Yes. Just like how everything has strength and weakness, first you need to be aware of your strong point, and then attacking using that. It’s a solid method. ──And so, first can you take off that gown for me?」

The doctor is giving such instruction along with a smile.

Somehow this woman’s mood is suddenly getting better, so I’m feeling somewhat uneasy, but there is no turning back after this far.

After I took off my white work gown, I’m getting stared from the top of my head until the tip of my toes with a gaze that is like licking all over my body.

After a while, it seems that the check of the 『weapon』 in my possession is finished.

「First I’ll point out your weakness. To start with, that outfit is no good. Your bed hair is still remaining, and the smell of metal and oil drifting from you after tinkering with Drag-Ride for the whole night is also a minus.」

「Guah……!?」

My heart is mercilessly gouged out and I spontaneously groaned.

The, the things that I’m feeling complicated about…….

Those things can’t be helped isn’t it? If I’m picky about those, I won’t be able to research or doing maintenance…….

「Before meeting with him, you should take a bath and wash off the smell. Then use a bit of perfume too. Also──you have a special status of being a princess, so wearing things like lovely clothes is also important.」

「I, I see……」

I almost don’t have any other clothes than uniform. It’s hard to say that.

After all, something like a timing to dress up won’t come to me except when I’m back in the palace at the capital.

At that time I will just wear the dress that the maids prepared for me.

「……And, have you finished already with the talk that will depress me?」

「Yes, then next I’ll give a follow up.」

The doctor smiles wryly seeing my resentful gaze to her, then she continues her talk.

「First your beautiful hair and eye color are really leaving an impression. Your slender and petite body is really feminine and lovely. Your breasts too are big for your built, if you make use of it well, boy won’t be able to hold themselves back.」

「U, ah……」

Although she is of the same sex, but it’s still embarrassing no matter what to get my face and body commented like that.

When I’m getting aware of the heat in my face, the grin of doctor who sees that is getting deeper.

「That embarrassed expression is also really good. It’s your strong point to be able to react naturally like that.」

「……The, then, it will be fine as long as I just watch my appearance in front of Lux?」

「No──that’s still the half of it.」

「Eh……?」

The doctor brought her face closer with a suggestive smile.

「To establish a lead from your rivals, it’s essential to fulfill the more instinctual desire of the boy further. I will specially instruct you in the specific method to do that now.」

「Ma, man’s instinctual desire……you said?」

The bewitching expression of the female doctor that I’m seeing for the first time caused me to gulp.

A concrete plan to make man your prisoner.

I listen attentively to that method and promise to execute it.
