Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 6 Episode 4 (section)

===Part 6===

The rooftop of the Palace that was overlooking down on the spiral staircase continuing to the Dungeon──the edge of Canopy.

Singlen, wearing his usual armor suit was lying down on the edge that was made of stone, where a single mistaken step would make him fall down for few dozen mel.

As his eyes followed Lux disappearing in to the Dungeon, he stared lazily back towards the rear of the main troops.

“I have returned, my lord.”

The air behind Singlen slightly rippled.

As if he was covered by a bed sheet, an old knight wearing a white mask and white jacket appeared.

“You are late, Zwei. Did anyone tail you here?”

“There has been no action at all. Are they saving their capability? Or else, perhaps the Dragon Marauder too isn't planning to make a move carelessly here.”

“Who knows...If I were them, I would not hesitate at this chance. Right now that the danger of Ruin is increasing and each country is hardening their defense, there may not be another chance where they can move this easily if they miss this one.”

“...True.”

The old knight's husky voice agreed with his master's opinion.

“Then I'll order the Knights of White Ridge to stay vigilant. To prepare for the worst case scenario—“

The old knight prepared to leave. Singlen, stabbed the sheath of his Sword Device onto the ground, elucidating a small thud as it landed.

“Well, hold on a second, Zwei. Although you were an able man since in the past, your decision making is just a bit too premature. We certainly were requested to protect this city. ──But, no one will evaluate us highly just from extinguishing a small fire that cannot be seen. Haven't we experienced that many times in the past, let's be a little cleverer here. We will make use of our lesson.”

“............”

Singlen smiled as he said this, exuding a deep, unending darkness.

The old knight suddenly realized the true meaning behind his words.

“...That”

“Catching the big fish requires patience. Keep in mind we will prioritize the Milmiette ojou-sama's safety first.”

“Yes, sir.”

After this brief response, Zwei disappeared.

Singlen did not care as he looked over the doors of the palace.

“...Fugil, ah. What will your brother do next? I am looking forward to it.”

Singlen's face held a deep smile.

However, his dark voice was not heard by anyone.
