Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 11 Episode 1 (section)

===Part 8===
「It looks like I came at a good time. After all I was able to interrupt the scolding towards Lux-kun like this.」

Inside the dining hall late at night where there was nobody else.

Krulcifer wearing glasses was sitting at the opposite side of the table.

A textbook and several pieces of paper were spread on the table.

And then, there were cups that were filled with tea.

It was a study meeting with Krulcifer after so long.

About the case of bathing with Yoruka, he was saved by Krulcifer when Airi was about to start her scolding.

「You really saved me, Krulcifer-san. But this is really troubling, certainly Yoruka’s act was also problematic, but to think that she would get into a confrontation with Coral…」

「It’s a really interesting story. I wonder if Lux-kun isn’t really swayed by us is because you are more interested in boys rather than girls?」

「Please stop it Krulcifer-san!?」

When Lux became flustered, Krulcifer chuckled.

It was troubling that she would tease him sometimes like this, even so his time with her was precious.

When Lux became a Seven Dragon Paladin and he was absent from the Academy, or when he was in recuperation from injury or fatigue, Krulcifer would summarize the gist of the lessons he missed and taught it to him in an easy to understand way.

He was extremely helped by her giving him a follow up in the aspect of schoolwork that he neglected.

「Come to think of it, Krulcifer-san will depart early in the morning tomorrow right? To the Ymir Theocracy.」

「Yes. It’s lonely to part with Lux-kun, but it can’t be helped. After all I’m worried about my family and the Ruin’s matter, and also about Mel and Ney Louches.」

The aide exchange that would be implemented for two weeks originally should be done with a country the aide wasn’t connected with, but Krulcifer would go back to Ymir Theocracy as an exception. She would also be accompanied by guards.

This was because Krulcifer was a Xfer. This exception for her was to avoid Dragon Marauder kidnapping or attacking her.

「Be careful Krulcifer-san. There won’t be any action to conquer a Ruin for a while but, it’s exactly because it’s this kind of time that you need to be vigilant.」

「Yes, Lux-kun too. ──That’s what I want to say here but, it looks like you still cannot have it easy and relax. After all it also looked like something fun happened after the world summit the other day.」

Krulcifer spoke with a voice that was filled with implication and smiled mischievously.

Lux who saw that recalled the end of the summit the other day.

Almost all the Seven Dragon Paladins and their aides broke up and left the room. And then the girl with characteristic red hair and black military uniform──Rosa Granhide was staying behind inside the room.

Her evil deeds and crimes were mostly fabrications of the King of Vices, Calensia, where she was made to shoulder Calensia’s infamy. Right now she continued to be a member of the Seven Dragon Paladins under the surveillance of the captain Magialca.

But, to the end it was a story behind the scenes.

So that the domestic strife of Heiburg wouldn’t get exposed, she was attending the meeting with her usual dangerous attitude even with the absence of Calensia, but,

『──Thank you very much, Lux-sama. For saving this me……I was, happy. That’s, if you ever need something, please let me repay you no matter what.』

She said that to him shyly with her injured arm still suspended by a cloth and her gaze averted from him.

Hearing her words, a feeling of gratitude towards Philuffy for stopping him that time welled up inside Lux once more.

He almost made a choice that couldn’t be undone at that time.

『You don’t need to thank me or anything. Best regards from now on too, Rosa.』

He replied like that with a smile, then he shook her hand before parting from her.

This was the only result that he could feel relieved about from the case in the Heiburg Republic where there were a lot of appalling incidents, but then Celis looked at him with a troubled gaze.

『I, I have also heard about her circumstances but, Lux was a bit too {{furigana|flirty|deredere}} just now. That’s, if you like big breasts then……i, i-i-i-i-i-i-it’s nothing-!』

Her face became red and she ran away in the middle of talking.

When he told about that happening after the summit to Krulcifer, she frowned slightly.

「Certainly that is troublesome. Not just Rosa, but also Celis-senpai──」

「……? Rather than that, what about Krulcifer-san? Did anything strange in the summit──」

「I also didn’t encounter anything exceptionally strange there. I only talked a bit with Mel……. Aa, conversely, I don’t really get those girls. That duo from Turkimes Confederation, Soffice and Uruk if I’m not mistaken?」

The Seven Dragon Paladin with characteristic dark brown skin and a red tattoo, and her aide.

The elder sister Soffice was taciturn and wouldn’t say anything. She would show agreement or refusal using her expression or head movement, then Uruk would interpret it and spoke for her in the meeting.

Their act that was comical sometimes didn’t match the oppressive atmosphere of the meeting.

「But, this time too I didn’t notice anything strange from them though?」

Based from what he saw in the meeting, Lux couldn’t see any suspicious movement and he said that to Krulcifer, but,

「I guess──but, it was funny when that girl’s little sister responded to my call.」

Lux also saw that scene.

Right after the summit.

In front of everyone who was starting to leave the room, Krulcifer called out 「Hey」 to Lux. At that instant, Uruk who was facing the other way suddenly turned around toward Krulcifer.

『Yes, what is it desu?』

They were separated by a distance of several ml, so Lux and Krulcifer were puzzled, but Soffice hurriedly grabbed Uruk’s neck and pulled her away.

『I’m sorry desu! Soffice said ‘Don’t be so absentminded!’ just now desu! To me!』

The figure of Uruk getting dragged away with teary eyes was inviting laughter until the end.

「Well, I think that was just a mistake, but I think it will be better to feel the tension for these three months from now. The enemy can aim at us easier exactly at this time where we relax our attention because we won’t need to conquer the Ruins for a while. After all I and also Celis-senpai will be absent from here too.」

「Yes. I won’t let my guard down but, Lisha-sama and the others are here too, so I think it will be fine.」

「……That is worrying instead, based on my personal circumstance that is.」

「Eh……?」

Because Krulcifer spoke with a small voice only at that last part, Lux asked back.

Then *knock knock*, the door of the dining room was knocked and Celis’s voice came.

「Both of you, do you have a bit of time? I have something to talk with Lux so──」

It seemed the night was still long.

「Time passes quickly when we are having fun. Then, please don’t get carried away no matter what while I’m not here. Just in case, I intend to put some countermeasures in motion in my own way though.」

「A, ahaha……」

Krulcifer left after giving him a reminder that he really didn’t understand.

After that──Celis who was worried about Lux’s body gave him a massage that she learned from Philuffy. He enjoyed the massage while passing a peaceful time with her too.
