Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 9 Episode 5 (section)

===Part 4===

「……Is that so, then in the end, Lux haven’t discovered my flaw yet.」

A few minutes later.

Celis muttered with a tone that was vaguely relieved, and perhaps also somewhat vexed.

「It’s all right. Celis-senpai is amazing and strong after all. Surely even this worry will also be solved somehow.」

「I am, amazing……?」

Celis looked a bit surprised at Lux’s words.

「Yes. In the past I too did nothing but training with Drag-Ride alone, but it was difficult to continue doing so in a place where no one was watching. I think that Celis-senpai who keep doing it as though it’s only natural is really strong and amazing.」

Those words came from Lux’s true feeling.

But, Celis made a somewhat brittle smile and gazed at empty air with a lonely expression.

「──Such thing, is not true.」

「Eh……?」

「Perhaps what I’m doing is certainly requiring effort. But, the more important thing is to be able to become someone else’s strength.」

Celis displayed a brittle face seen from the side and continued.

「Even when Wade-sensei……, Lux’s grandfather taught me, that was the only thing I’m not good at. Simply defeating the enemy before my eyes, simply fighting in place of someone else……. If there is something like that it’s easy to understand but, understanding someone and giving them strength is difficult.」

「Celis, senpai……」

「Keep it a secret from everyone else about how I’m whining like this okay? Even like this I’m the captain of Syvalles after all. Now, let’s continue this after school. Because this afternoon we are requested to exterminate the Abyss that appeared near Cross Field──」

An Abyss appeared near Cross Field that should be quite far away from the Ruin.

Could this be also an influence from Sacred Eclipse that would end the world in half year more?

「-……!?」

The moment Lux tried to stand up while thinking that, Lux’s legs staggered.

「E, h……?」

The sky was shaking, and the ground was approaching from the side.

「Lux!?」

Celis’s voice seemed far away.

‘I’m fine’, the words that he should whisper didn’t come out from his throat, his consciousness was suddenly getting distant.
