Vol 1 Epilogue (1/2)
Epilogue – Where The Prince belongs
Part 1
“N, Ngh…”
With a sroan, Lux opened his eyelids
He first saw a relatively neooden ceiling, and the fragrance of flowers, medicinal herbs, and faint alcohol tickled his nose
“…!? You woke up!? Thank God…! Nii-san!”
The sirl who embraced him was reflected in Lux’s thinly opened eyes
“This place––?”
As he so, Airi hurriedly parted fro her throat once, she quickly htened up her back
“Um –– so, you finally woke up, Nii-san?”
“Airi? Ugh…!”
Trying to get to his little sister’s voice, Lux knitted his brows at the dull pain running throughout his body
Airi dressed in her uniforhed once on the chair in front of the bed
“You reap what you sow After continuously using <bahaht? It’s better than you sleeping for one week as in the old days though”
“…Perhaps, are you angry?”
As Lux laughed so aardly,
“Don’t you understand if I don’t say anything?”
She returned a grin
<bahamut>’s Divine Raiment required a very intense consumption from the user
Even for Lux, who had a Machine Dragon aptitude which far exceeded an ordinary wo a man, it was a considerable burden
Because of that, Lux who had almost died before made a promise to Airi not to use it directly until <baha the Divine Raiment was accurately clarified
It was also the reason why Airi, as a student of civil official aspiration, was deciphering ancient docuons
And if by any chance, Lux’s talent and the fact that he was the “Black Hero” were known, Airi feared that he would be regarded as dangerous by various organizations including inside and outside the country, and would be targeted
That’s why she had tried to stop him
Until Lux defeated “a certain , in another sense, she had tried to stop his habit of exposing hier––
He knew that Airi orried about him
So, when he tried to apologize,
“Nii-san is––, a big idiot”
Airi said so and e her face in his chest
“…Five years ago When Nii-san fell and did not wake up, do you kno much I orried every day…?”
Airi who had a usually settled attitude said as her voice got cloudy
“Certainly, I’ idiot”, Lux smiled wryly
“I’ you worried, Airi”
After patting his little sister’s head for a while until she settled down,
“Speaking of which…, is everyone safe?”
“…………”
The moment when she heard Lux’s words, Airi parted from Lux and turned scornful eyes towards him as she was amazed
She seemed to be somehow dissatisfied
“Ask that to the already Well then Nii-san, take care of yourself”
“Yes, later then”
Airi stood up and quietly left the medical office
She passed by three girls who entered the room
“Hi, it’s good to see that you look fine, Lux-kun”
“Oh! I’lad you woke up! How is it, Lux-cchi? Do you remember me?”
“Yes It seeht”
They were Sharis, Tillfarr, and Nokuto of the Triad
Each of the them on Lux’s bedside
“…Thank you”
To the fact that there were people ould do that much for him, he was unintentionally moved to tears
“Fufu You seemed to be so moved that you don’t knohat to say But, you shouldn’t mind it, Lux-kun”
“That’s right You know, Lux-cchi When a young lady gives you a present, the way to return it is with a bigger one Let’s say that it’s courtesy in the current New Kingdom”
“Yes All of us expected it, so”
“…Ah, what to say, I will do my best”
To the three girls’ smiles, Lux returned a complex smile
“It will be bad to stay too long in a place of convalescence We will excuse ourselves to leave early”
(In that case, I also wanted you not to put the pressure of presents on me…)
As he sed such words and saw off the Triad, two girls entered next
“You seeht”
“Good , Lu-chan”
A slender girl with a cool i
Krulcifer Einvolk and Philphie Aingram
“Well, there are a lot of things which I want to thoroughly talk with you about, but––”
Krulcifer cast down her eyes and showed a thoughtful face for a short while
Realizing that it was about the “Black Hero”, Lux was startled
“Still, you’ve quite a disadvantageous character”
Krulcifer said in a teasing tone
“If you didn’t request my cooperation, I wouldn’t have known your secret Why?”
He asked Krulcifer to protect Lisha and the “Knight Squadron”
In order to stop the enemy’s attack in case he tried to aiht Squadron” in the rear
This ti all the enemies as a result, but it seemed that Krulcifer had cleaned up afterwards in various ways, such as capturing those rebels whose Machine Dragons were destroyed after all was settled, and handing theuards of the Fort City
“It’s because I thought that it was the only way”
Lux honestly answered back
He would have done everything he could to save Lisha
Therefore, so that he could fight without constraint, the cooperation of a talented person was indispensable
“That’s all good, but you should be careful For soh you are that strong”
“Eh––?”
Lux was shaken by Krulcifer’s mischievous voice
“I am not a cruel woman so as to continue this in front of a convalescent person We will talk slowly and carefully soain”
“Ah, uently…”
As Lux soed to return only that to Krulcifer whose smile contained an implication,
“…Philphie?”
“…………”
Philphie silently approached Lux and clang her front on his
“Uwah!?”
Approaching her lovely face at a distance enough to be able to kiss, Lux confusedly bent backward
Even so, Philphie showed no signs ofit in particular
“Yes You don’t have fever, so it’s all right, I guess”
She hnut at hand
“Welcome back, Lu-chan”
Philphie who seelance revealed a small smile
“…Ah, yes I’m back, Phi-chan”
As Lux who has becohtly embarrassed blushed, Philphie suddenly left his side and went out
“Well then, see you later”
“Eh? Yes…”
“You’ve quite a pretty childhood friend”
“P-Please, don’t tease me!”
Krulcifer also chuckled and left the medical home
