Editing Hyouketsu Kyoukai no Eden:Volume 6 Chapter2 (section)

===Part 8===

“……What’s this, it’s awfully noisy outside.”

Leon closed the book he was reading and stood up when he heard several voices coming from the hall.

This was floor 287 belonging to the Priestesses. A civilian wouldn’t be able to enter and it was unthinkable for a Guard to cause such a commotion on a Priestess’ floor.

So is the one causing this commotion Meimel? Or maybe it’s Ran?

After he contemplated for a little while at that spot.

“……I’ll leave it alone.”

Leon opened the book he was reading again and sat back down.

It was a usual thing for Ran to shriek because of Meimel’s pranks so he wouldn’t want to add himself to the mix. And above all, there was somebody who would be anxious if he were to move from this spot right now.

“───”

He looked down wordlessly at the table and there was a silent black-haired girl with her eyes shut in front of it.

……It’s about time for the barrier transfer ceremony for Syun-rei.

……She’s sure to be uneasy so I have to be by her side until then.

Normally, this would be the time when he would have a spar with somebody like Ran. Horn Nova had also returned to the tower after a long absence so he had wanted to spar with her but he had to hold back for a little while.

“…………Leon.”

“Mm?”

Silently gazing at her, the girl whose escort he worked as opened her eyes.

“…………I’ll make some tea. What do you want?”

In that case, I’ll do it ─── he had reflexively gone to say that but pushed it back down when he got to his throat.

“Something a little more fragrant.”

“…………Okay.”

She quietly headed to the kitchen.

……That’s right.

……She’ll be anxious if she’s not doing anything. There would be no meaning to it if I did it in her stead.

With a smile on his face that had hints of wryness in it, Leon watched the girl’s small back as she left.
