Vol 10 Epilogue (2/2)

「Then, we’ll run Bye bye, master」

The ialca responded fearlessly, Philuffy carried Lux beside her like a bag and quickly ran outside

「Well, this time I’ll concede it to my cute student」

Magialca was grinning fearlessly while seeing off Lux and Philuffy

Lux and Philuffy escaped froaze of the dissatisfied woman on their back

Part 2

「Wai-, let me down Phi-chan! It’s fine already!」

When they returned until the courtyard, Lux asked that in panic

After Philuffy let hiht

Because it was early in theat a rest day, the presence of people in the Academy was still few

Lux was breathing in the tranquil and clear air while facing Philuffy once more

「Thank you for this tiether with me, I was saved」

Since five years ago, after the revolution in the old e pain in his chest

When Heiburg’s King of Vices carried out her scheme, he was saved thanks to Philuffy

And then, she protected Lux by even going as far as using power that surpassed her limit

At first he was also worried about ould happen in that honeymoon trip, but──,

「It was really fun Soain to that tiether」

It

There was also tough tiirl as his ht was renewed

He ad to save so false

But at the sa to spend peaceful days like this once more

「I also, had fun」

Within her usual expressionless face, there was a faint e out Philuffy smiled

Her words theirl showed caused Lux’s chest to pound hard

Lux ascertained the loneliness that this time was over and he faced her

「After resting for a bit, it feels like the business of Seven Dragon Paladins will get busy again, so I don’t know if I will be able to stay in the Academy that often but──」

Although she was amore than a student of the Academy

Perhaps there wouldn’t be that erous mission that was related to Ruins from here on

For Lux he would be able to have a peace of mind like that, but at the same time he also felt loneliness

「When this battle is over, I will be able to be together with Phi-chan again That’s why, until then──」

That hy, he prayed that he would be able to spend a peaceful ti to tell her that

But, Philuffy looked still at Lux’s face with sleepy eyes, then she shook her head

「I, asked Onee-chan to let me take absent for a bit from her work」

「Eh……?」

「The plan is for ain when the trip with Lu-chan this time is over, but──, I told Onee-chan, that I’ll be Lu-chan’s bodyguard for a while」

Philuffy’s future after graduation

The talk was that she would accuuard for Relie who had the responsibility as headlomerate, but

「But, I’m worried about Lu-chan That’s why, I want to be at your side protecting you, through the battle from here on too」

She sent such straightforward eyes toward Lux and took his hand

In a glance, this childhood friend looked like she had no initiative fros for him

And then she also possessed a strong will that once she decided so, she wouldn’t yield and persist in it

「Proether with me Because, I want to be at Lu-chan’s side forever from here on too」

That hy, Lux couldn’t win

There was no way he could refuse the proposal fro to the utmost

And then──

「You see Happy──birthday」

Lux was looking slightly e

Philuffy who saw that opened her eyes wide in surprise and blinked for a while

「This is, sword belt?」

He pretty much considered her personality and put a small embroidery of flower on it, but it ithout a doubt a sword belt to sheath Sword Device

It was for sheathing Typhon because its sword belt was also similarly destroyed like Lux’s──

There were also ive as present to her

Whether it was the sweets that she loved

Or perhaps expensive accessory

However this present was fro

「You see, actually, I opposed the trip this tiet involved with a dangerous fight That I only want you to be safe But──」

He realized that it was mistaken

He was conceited that if it was hi, then he would be able to shoulder anything by himself alone

「I won’t be able to accoth alone Perhaps soain That’s why, because of that……」

Lux hesitated slightly and squeezed out his true feeling

「I want you to fight together with ain from here on」

This neord belt for Philuffy was filled with such wish

The childhood friend stiffened just for a bit hearing Lux’s request to her that he wanted her to fight at his side

After that, a warm sensation suddenly wrapped Lux’s body

Philuffy’s both arly embraced Lux

「Wai-!? Wha, what are you doing Phi-chan!? The present isn’tyou!?」

The soft sensation of her whole body and the beating of her heart caused Lux to spontaneously feel shaken and his body jerked

But, Philuffy’s ato no htly

「Nn……I know But, I’m happy」

「Eh?」

「Because, Lu-chan listen to my wish, so I’m happy」

「……-」

She wanted to protect Lux

She wanted to fight at Lux’s side, in order to support him

The feeling of this girl as giving hiht just as he wished, made his chest felt hot

Nofive months, he would be able without hesitation──

「I proth」

Philuffy nodded and held out her pinky in front of hi his e

The exchange that was unchanged at all since their childhood

However, even though it was the sa was different

Lux s where they thought of each other and wished to be together

「Thank you, Phi-chan」

The tere basking in a war

While the days until the world destruction ca definite within his hand

Part 3

While Lux and Philuffy were exchanging pro silently on a stone paving

「There is no proble of that function」

The fourth Drag-Ride hangar inside the Acaderound

She sneaked in at the time when even the Acade-Ride Yato no Kami

In addition of the three hidden techniques of Drag-Ride control that Lux developed, she also possessed a special move called Instant Strike, but──, she felt that it was still not enough with just that and she practiced a new strength against the Servants

The result was superb Finally she found a prospect of victory

「As I thought, that man shouldn’t be left alive, for Aruji-sama’s sake too」

Yoruka wondered to herself like that with a natural tone as though she was talking about weather

Yoruka overheard the conversation that was exchanged between Lux and Singlen at the top floor of Babel and she was convinced

She didn’t understand about Singlen’s motive itself

But, she felt that he was sche tohim

Yoruka as able to feel a person’s presence to an oversensitive degree was convinced of that frolen several times

It was just like that time, when her little brother was betrayed and killed by his chief vassals

「Thinking back, in this acades that doesn’t suit me」

As the E hue she only possessed talent for battle

Lux set his eyes toward such her and treated her like a human, just like her little brother in the past

Airi and Noct also became her friend, and even Lisha would call out to her one way or another

However──exactly because of that

The more she lived in this Academy, the more she understood that she was an existence that shouldn’t be here

She understood that she was an unnecessary existence here

The trust and feeling toward human that in the past her little brother directed toward her in the nation of Koto

Since the beginning she was nize whether she wanted it or not, that she had nothing to give in return of those girls feeling

「As I thought, for me, this side suit my nature more」

When the repair of Yato no Kae was finished this time, that would be most likely her last turn

That len wasn’t a normal human

It would be next to i all her strength, so she didn’t make any move toward him, but if it was noas possible

If she didn’t put her own life into the equation, then there was a thirty percent success rate for her to bring that man down

「That’s a good enough percentage If the greatest obstacle for Aruji-sama can be defeated with just that──」

The next ti, she would len

Keeping that determination in her heart, she left fro any sound
