Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 7 Epilogue (section)

===Part 3===

「U, AaaA……」

Wordless dry scream was squeezed out from the citizens of the royal capital Lordgalia.

Terror, despair. When people encountered an outrageous happening, they would lose words before screaming.

The steel giant body that pierced the sky, which had stopped moving for a long time when it tried to attack the castle before.

The fifth Ruin, Gigas was activated once more and started walking.

That terrifying weapon which attempted to destroy the royal capital, the new kingdom in the past was reactivated. The citizens were turning stiff, they were rooted in the place.

–

「──The people of the royal capital is scared. This is our turn. Oi, philistine. If it’s your Leviathan, will you be able to take that on somehow?」

「If you feel like accompanying the farce, then go out there, you old hag dressing like young girl. That’s some guts you’ve got there, giving instruction to this me when you bought your World Rank with money.」

「Hou, is that the jealousy of a man who cannot accept defeat? Since when you became that kind of unsightly man?」

In a room for guests inside the royal castle, two man and woman from among three people were talking.

One was a figure wearing blue coat sitting on a chair with loose and arrogant posture.

The vice captain of Seven Dragon Paladins, the Blue Tyrant, Singlen Shelbrit.

And then the woman arguing with him was wearing red cloak with showy ornaments. She was staring outside from the window.

She was an old friend of Relie, the head of Vanfrick Company that had the world under its thumb from behind the scene, Magialca Zen Vanfrick.

Relie who was also inside the room was called here in order to welcome the two of them.

「……A, an urgent message-! Th, the Gigas is starting to move in the capital! The immediate formation──n, no, the dispatch of interception squad is permitted-!」

A youth who was still young, a platoon captain in the military of the next generation rushed into the room where the three were at.

But, Magialca who possessed the greatest authority among the three didn’t even twitch.

「──I know by looking from the window here. Don’t yell loudly, I hate noisiness.」

The girl──no, she looked young but she was a woman of blooming age, the woman was calmly staring at that sight from the townscape of the royal capital.

Regardless she didn’t show even the slightest twitch. She made a wry smile that showed her pointed canine tooth.

But, perhaps the platoon captain who saw that composed act got his nerve touched. The youth pressed on.

「Thi, this isn’t a trivial matter! Currently you are temporarily entrusted with the full authority of the military! If we don’t deal with it quickly, it will be too──」

「Well, calm down, young man.」

「Who can be calm in this kind of time! Lowly people like a merchant who doesn’t belong to any country, what do you think this danger to our new kingdom──!」

The youth forgot himself from being too angry and his hand moved to grab the woman’s collar, at that moment──, the top and bottom of the man was reversed.

「──Shut up brat.」

*DOoN!* There was the sound of a back hitting the stone paving.

Right after that the man’s gaze saw the ceiling, and he noticed that he was just instantly thrown.

He saw Magialca crouched and pulled out a knife which was thrust at his neck.

「Wha, wha……-!?」

He wondered what just happened. The woman in red cloak looked down on the youth who was knocked down into confusion and grinned fearlessly.

「Look carefully at Gigas’s movement. There is no sign at all that it will attack. Their aim is the same like this knife. A self-introduction that displayed their might. You’re going to get taken advantage of if you show your fear you know?」

Magialca whispered indifferently while standing up and putting away the knife.

While she was a head of a big financial conglomerate, she was also a genius well versed in martial arts.

The captain of Seven Dragon Paladins, and first rank of the World Rank.

The youth tasted a glimpse of that true strength that served as Philuffy’s master when she was young.

「Whether it’s war or business, they have some sort of common point. You lose if the opponent look down on you──well, it’s something like that. Take lesson okay, captain-dono.」

「U, a……」

The youth slowly stood up, but his legs were still unsteady.

But, his body was already ruled by fear.

「Aa, I don’t oppose in dispatching soldier. We’ve got to show some labor so that the citizens won’t question our performance. But don’t send out too many. And then absolutely don’t start attacking from our side. If you get it then go, ──your answer?」

「Ye, yes-!」

Finally the youth squeezed out his voice and left the guest room in panic.

After that, Magialca turned her gaze outside the window once more and smiled.

「Although, it won’t mean anything if we too don’t gather equal combat force. I’m giving out assembling call. We are going to meet their aggression with the whole combat force of world──the Seven Dragon Paladins.」

–

Gigas slowly traced back its footsteps when it was invading and retreated.

While the Wyvern force of the new kingdom’s military was surrounding it from afar, a girl’s voice reverberated through the whole territory of the capital.

『──This is my first appearance. My name is Listelka Rei Arshalia. The owner of this Ruin, and an imperial family member of the old era when the Ruin existed.』

The people of the capital stood still in a daze.

And then, the girl’s voice was slowly formed so that even the royal castle where the queen and consuls were at could also listen.

『I have no intention to fight with everyone. I only wish to return this Gigas that became a nuisance to this city back to its original position. The process will be carried out with meticulous caution, but please be careful so that no one won’t be hurt.』

The gentle and kind voice of the girl could be heard by the surrounding.

While everyone was paralyzed with surprise, the footstep of Gigas that was like earthquake resounded.

『We the clan of the LordCreator is wishing for dialogue. We wish to tell the turht about what happened in this world at the past, and ask for cooperation. In order to save this world from the approaching fate of ruin──』

The girl in a dress finished muttering that inside the control room of Gigas──.

The first princess of Holy Arcadia Empire, Listelka cut off the communication that was broadcasted to outside and let out a small sigh.

「How was it Fugil? Did I do it well?」

「It’s splendid. Surely the negotiation after this will also progress well. I will accompany your highness too as guard.」

「That’s good. Then let’s begin Fugil──for the new peacereign of our wish.」

–

At the other side, inside the castle of royal capital.

Magialca’s lips distorted into an arc while staring at the Gigas where those people were at.

「So they finally started huh. The lot who were raising havoc inside my turf. ……You all were acting sneakily in the shadow for a long time. ──I’ll crush you all, you race of fossils.」

And then, she bared open her eyes with sharp eye glint.

The campus festival that would begin in the Academy one week later.

Before that the shadow of a huge storm was approaching.
