Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 12 Episode 6 (section)

===Part 7===
Inside the Seventh Ruin, Moon.

A girl was walking alone in a cold corridor that was illuminated by bluish white lamps.

Below, a deathly battle against a Ragnarok was unfolding in the virtual battle field that was separated from this location by countless walls.

A silver haired girl was walking by taking advantage of that distraction.

The partition wall towards the deepest part that normally would be solidly closed was opened.

「As I thought, it’s open……」

This must be because the Key’s Supervisor Soffice used her ancient authority to unlock the area and then left it alone as it was.

And then right now the Gear Leader Re Plica was also being controlled by the mastermind who once hired Dragon Marauder in the beginning.

She was also worried about Lux and the other girls who were fighting the Ragnarok, but right now she had no leeway to focus on them.

This was the chance that she finally grasped after infiltrating for a long time.

Thus, right now she was moving in order to investigate the Ruin’s secret because she had slipped away from the mark on her due to her death.

「If there is a clue, it will be here, but──」

The silver haired girl murmured and the Moon’s facility──the door of the 『Study』 was opened.

She weaved through the gaps of the cluttered bookcases and touched a locked box that seemed to store important documents.

Normally, the lock inside a Ruin could only be opened by the authority of the Key’s Supervisor, but there was no trace of this box being opened that could be seen.

The lock of the ancient race was undone, but there was one other lock that needed a password that couldn’t be opened.

It numbered very few but, this kind of box existed inside the Ruins.

In order to heighten the secrecy, this kind of box needed a Key’s Supervisor and a Lord──the knowledge of the two sides to open.

「…………」

The girl inputted the number and unlocked it.

And then, she put her hand on the history book inside and flipped through the pages. She muttered keenly.

「I finally, found it──」

The path to reach the truth of the locked past.

The reason of the very existence of this Ruin and the secret of Avalon.

Why did Sacred Eclipse exist?

Why were the Ruins abandoned and the rulers of the past disappeared?

「I……have to know the truth.」

What she was, and what she had to fight for.

After the girl woke up, she grasped the situation in general through the data and history she could obtain.

But, just from that there were still a lot of existing puzzles that she couldn’t comprehend.

She had a mission to deal with a lot of people from here on, exactly because of that she wouldn’t be able to accept it without knowing the truth.

Thinking that, by her own judgment the girl was moving in order to know the hidden truth.

The girl possessed a gentle moral value that was different from her big sister and little sister. But, after coming here with expectations, she harbored regret for the first time.

「Elixir, White Hero…… Sacred Eclipse. Don’t tell me……! How can such thing──」

Her well-ordered face warped into grief and she shuddered.

The contents of that book where the true identity of Avalon was written.

The reason why the thing that was the greatest even among the ancient technologies and legacies was sealed.

It wasn’t anything like a wisdom that would bring wealth for the people.

「It’s the opposite──! What we are searching for isn’t anything like a legacy to save the world!」

She held her finger on her eye that changed color due to Baptism and raised a groaning voice in anguish.

She put her hand on her chest to hold down her breathing that became rough from agitation and squeezed.

「If the people of the world right now knew this, everything will end. We──no, everyone won’t be able to stop it anymore……!」

The ideal coexistence that she personally discovered was fiction.

The girl yelled when that fact was thrust on her.

There was no room for choice.

There was already no more path except to lock the matter away so no one would know it.

「Lux-kun, {{furigana|I<|boku}}──」

The girl squeezed her hand tightly on her chest as though to harden her determination.

The yellow-green pupil in her right eye shined, and she pressed her lips on each other hard.
