Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 10 Episode 1 (section)

===Part 6===
「Haa, it became something unthinkable.」

More than ten minutes later.

Lux somehow returned to the inn where he was staying.

In the end, Lux accepted Stefa’s request.

Although, since Stefa became seriously injured due to an incident, it seemed that Calensia didn’t try to meet her anymore.

Stefa wished Lux to find out the cause, and if possible make it so that the two could meet.

That was the wish of the blind girl Stefa.

At the skill exhibition, Calensia Hersmice looked like a serious military officer and she received unfortunate treatment from Rosa.

At the very least, she should be someone that was easier to approach than Rosa.

According to the report from the Triad, it appeared that Rosa wouldn’t come back within these few days, so perhaps it would be easier to negotiate with Calensia right now.

In any case, he would need to be very careful but── either way it was already impossible for him today.

「I’m back.」

The front door of the inn was closed, so Lux entered inside from the window that he used to get out.

When he looked at the bed after muttering with a small voice, he didn’t see Philuffy’s figure there.

(──!? Don’t tell me, she was silently kidnapped!?)

Cold sweat was trickling on Lux’s head.

He immediately grasped his Sword Device tightly and turned on the lamp alertly, it was at that moment──

「Ei」

*Grap* Someone suddenly hugged him tightly from behind.

He thought that his heart would leap out for a moment there, but he immediately noticed the person’s identity.

「Err, Phi……chan?」

「Where, did you go?」

「That’s, are you all right!? While I’m gone──」

「…………」

He tried to turn around, but he couldn’t move because of the firm hold.

She was silent like usual, but right now her silence was scary.

「Err, I’ll tell you the circumstance but, can you let go of me for now……」

It was problematic that he couldn’t move but, other than that there was also her large breasts that were crushed on his back which caused his face to turn red.

「No, Lu-chan is in the middle of punishment after all.」

「Wai-!? What do you mean punishm──」

「Onee-chan taught me. A wife, must not forgive her husband’s night amusements.」

「You are mistaken a lot you know!? No, perhaps it’s correct in a sense but this time that’s not what happened! In the first place it’s fine to not keep the act in a place where no one is looking!?」

「I am, angry.」

After releasing Lux for the moment, Philuffy said that with a bland expression and dreamy tone that didn’t seem angry in the slightest.

「Because Lu-chan acted recklessly by yourself again. Because, you left me behind.」

「Ah……」

Lux hung his head down before the girl’s pure eyes and words.

He hesitated to wake her up because of the sudden happening, but this time Philuffy came with Lux here by her own will.

She was accompanying him in this dangerous mission because she was determined to protect Lux.

For him to venture into danger without telling her, it was no wonder she was angry.

「Sorry, Phi-chan……. I wasn’t thinking at all.」

「Nn.」

When Lux apologized honestly, Philuffy quietly nodded.

She looked like she had no initiative, but she was actually really obstinate. But when she understood that Lux was apologizing from his heart, she wouldn’t be angry for longer than that.

(I’m also saved by this side of Phi-chan huh.)

Somehow it felt nostalgic. Lux was immersing himself in that feeling while taking off his coat and lightly wiped his body.

After confirming that the outfit he wore was all right and his body also wasn’t injured or anything, he faced Philuffy once more.

「I will tell you about the details tomorrow. Now this time it’s for real, good night, Phi-chan.」

『Yes, Lu-chan.』

She replied back to him smilingly──was how Lux thought she would respond, but Philuffy wordlessly lied down on the bed, then her hand tapped on the space beside her *pon pon*.

「Err, Phi-chan?」

「Sleep over here. If not, Lu-chan is going to sneak out as you please again.」

「Wai-!? A, as expected that is bad you know!? Lo, look, our room is separated already even in the Academy.」

Lux noticed her intention and his face blushed from getting flustered.

It wasn’t that he hated to sleep together with Philuffy by any means, but he was taking into account the physiological phenomenon of himself who was a young man of that age, but──

「It’s fine, right now we are on a honeymoon so there is no problem. That was what Onee-chan said.」

「That person, why is she still mixing personal situation even in an important mission that is related to the country-!?」

In practice, the other Divine Drag-Ride users had their own position to consider, so only this time it was Philuffy who was suitable for this mission. He understood that.

「Lu-chan. You aren’t reflecting, about just now.」

Philuffy turned her face away *puih* while keeping the blanket bared open.

He took back what he had just thought──as expected she was still angry.

From his experience, it was better to not oppose Philuffy further when she was like this.

In the end, Lux lied down beside Philuffy while asking that at the very least she wouldn’t cling to close to him.

When the lamp was turned off and he closed his eyes, Philuffy quietly grasped Lux’s hand.

The warmth and softness of that hand caused Lux’s heart to skip a beat.

「Night, Lu-chan.」

She only whispered that and closed her eyes, then she immediately began to let out a sleeper’s breathing.

(Is this her way of telling me to not go off by myself anymore?)

Such will was conveyed to him through the girl’s hand that was connected to him.

(But──this also feels a bit, relieving perhaps.)

His heart was pounding slightly hard, at the same time his feeling was getting somewhat eased.

Tomorrow, he had to tell Philuffy everything properly.

His acceptance of Stefa’s wish and the answer that he chose.

The accumulated fatigue stole the thoughts from Lux’s head.

Lux was feeling the end of the first day of the infiltration while feeling concerned of the well-being of Lisha and the others.
