Vol 2 Epilogue (1/2)
Epilogue – The Girl’s Wish
“Nii-san Please come out ––Nii-san?”
knock-knock The door of one roohtly knocked on
When Lux slightly opened his eyes from within a deep catnap, the furniture of the usual two person room came into view
Today was a holiday
“Sorry, Airi… As expected today, I’m a little tired––”
When Lux unusually tried to escape into the blanket as he said so,
“––Do you not mind even if I expose to every one of the class that you are sleeping with Philphie-san, Nii-san?”
“……!?”
Hearing a devilish voice, Lux quickly sprang up
When he hurriedly opened the room’s door, Airi with a serious look came in
“You know… Airi That kind of joke is bad for my heart, so could you stop it?”
“I was serious though?”
“…………”
Being said with a carefree smile, Lux became speechless
“Lately, you rely too ainst it, you know? But Nii-san said he will do it no matter what, so I had no choice but to accept––”
“Ah, I really appreciate it Thank you, Airi”
On that day, after having coations
Lux predicted the situation where Krulcifer would want to go to the duel alone, and asked Airi beforehand so as to stop it
In other words, the sleeping effect of the medicine that Airi concocted was just a little
Even so, Airi, also thinking about Lux’s safety, was hesitant about what to do until the end
“I’s…”
“Eh?”
Being asked by Lux after she said that in a subdue voice, Airi answered “I-It’s nothing!” in panic
“To begin with, what is this? To think you have forgotten about asking me, your little sister’s help to choose an outfit for a date ––”
“S-Sorry Since it’s just after yesterday, and now today, so I’m a little tired… Or rather, it isn’t a date”
“It’s soht?”
Airi muttered somewhat displeased,
“Well, please change your clothes quickly There’s no time, isn’t there?”
As she sed Lux
After wearing the clothes which Krulcifer had bought for hiirl’s dormitory
Near the school gate, Krulcifer wearing a light blue dress was standing
“Well then, shall we go? I called a carriage for today, so––”
As expected, flying with Machine Dragons would be boorish and since both theue, they could also not do that
“Hey, you tait a minute!”
When they were about to get on the carriage as planned, Lisha caate
“Huh? What’s the matter, Lisha-sama?”
Even though you should usually be in your atelier –– Lux looked puzzled
“I’ to ht? You two don’t have your Sword Devices with you, so you’ll need an escort, right?”
On the waist of Lisha who said so, there was a Sword Device hanging
“I-It’s indeed so, but––”
“Ah, you know? Lisha-sama said that she was concerned about your relationshi+p”
Before they were aware, Tillfarr who came over to see them off declared with an innocent smile
“Y-You fool! Don’t say things that could be misunderstood! I just––”
When Lisha who saw that desperately tried to smooth it over, Krulcifer chuckled
“Then, I shall gratefully take you upon your offer”
“Y-Yes… That’s right”
When Lux aardly nodded, the three of thee
The destination was a high-class conated for concluding the engagement
Perhaps because it was a holiday, the streets seen froht and lively
As if to heal the wounds and fatigue of last night’s duel, Lux was looking at the flowing scenery
––That evening, when all was settled
The Heir of one of the Four Great nobles, Barzeride Kreutzer was accused of crime and the matter had not yet been publically announced
It seeuise as private soldiers behind his father’s and faal digging at the ruins and apply pressure to the opposition
No –– they did not knohether it was really by Barzeride’s individual decision, but anyway, after all the investigations were over, it was a fact that he would be obviously sentenced to heavy punishment and imprisoned
Then, about the Black Hero’s true identity
The case where it was known that Lux was <bahamut>’s user seeement
Either way, as for Barzeride’s crimes, however much power of the Four Great nobles he held, he would not come out for at least five years
(That in itself isn’t particularly worrisome, but––)
There was no horn for su the Abyss in Barzeride’s possession
But, it was an undeniable fact that the Diabolos had intentionally been summoned before the ruins at that time
In other words, it was very likely that there was an existence suggesting Barzeride’s actions andthe Abyss behind the scenes
It was still unknohether it was Lux’s brother of the Eh
“We have already arrived”
“Ah…”
While he was lost in thought, they seemed to have arrived at the destination
A high-class restaurant where it was scheduled to talk about the ement
As they got down fro with Alterize as in front of a shop
As a reservation had been done beforehand, there was only the female owner inside
“Welcome, Miss, Lux Acadia-sama and, errr––?”
Alterize, in the s, turned her eyes next to Lux
For a woht character, she revealed an unusual troubled expression
“I’m their escort Is there any problem?”
“N-No, excuse me…”
“Hmm Well, since I came until here, you won’t be attacked by assassins I’ll stand guard outside”
Perhaps because she was being unusually considerate, Lisha went out of the shop
As she sat on a seat and coughed once, Alterize straightened herself and bowed her head
“Thetried to press the engageh Lord Kreutzer’s scheize to Miss and Lux Acadia-sama Since I will receive a severe punishment upon my return to the Einvolk House, in this place, I implore your pardon…”
“…………”
Lux and Krulcifer who saw that hesitated for a little while
Though Lux had heard from Krulcifer, she seemed to have the position of an orphan taken in the Einvolk House
