158. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [9]
We arrived at Ringard Palace, dragging along Chemy-san, who was resisting to the bitter end, and reported about Allen cells and the new dicine to Tenshi-sama. She imdiately ordered mass production of the new dicine and promised to export them to Polyesta Federation and Republic of Ronzo at low price.
Chemy-san reluctantly accepted the『100 Million Gold』and went to the debt-collector. Whereas, Ria and I returned to the dormitory of Thousand Blade Academy for the first ti in a few days.
After that, with only two days left of winter vacation, Ria and I spent it by going to the New Year’s shrine visit, stocking up on food ingredients, and such.
(Actually, I wanted to visit mother and Paula-san, but…)
Perhaps because of staying up all night for about two days to find a cure for the curse, Ria wasn’t in perfect health.
(Leaving aside Paula-san’s dormitory, there is a reasonable distance to Goza Village.)
I can’t leave Ria and go alone when she is unwell, but that said, I can’t take her with either.
It’s a little unfortunate, but I decided to visit mother and everyone else during spring break.
And then, January 7th arrived.
The two weeks of winter vacation ended, and daily life at Thousand Blade Academy started again.
「Hmm… It’s a nice day.」
Sunshine filtered in through the gaps in the curtains.
The ti was seven o’clock in the morning, just the right ti to get up.
(Ria is… over there, huh…)
Delicious sll drifted from the kitchen.
It seems that she is making breakfast.
「Good morning, Ria. How are you feeling?」
「Oh, good morning Allen. Thanks to you, my body is fine. Thank you for caring about .」
「I see, glad to hear that.」
Then I quickly finished morning preparations and headed to Thousand Blade Academy with Ria.
When I opened the door of Year 1 Class A, many of my classmates, including Tessa, were already there.
「Good morning, everyone.」
When I greeted my classmates whom I saw for the first ti in two weeks,
「Oh, you’re finally here!」
「I saw the newspaper, Allen! You achieved sothing amazing again!」
「Hey, Allen-kun… Was the『Demon』really that strong? There’s a rumour going on that all the Holy Knights in the palace were beaten without putting up a fight.」
「Or rather, what is『Allen Cell』? Tenshi-sama announced that it was a『special dicine for the curse.』…Does this have sothing to do with you too?」
A number of questions were thrown towards in rapid succession.
「Eh, uh…」
As I answered each question one by one, a chi rang to announce the morning horoom.
At the sa ti, the door of the classroom opened vigorously, and Leia-sensei walked in.
「Good morning, everyone! Without delay, let’s start our morning horoom!」
She was as lively as ever, and relayed a few pieces of information.
Claude-san returned to Vesteria Kingdom temporarily.
As the Captain of the Elite Guards attached to Ria, she has to participate in an important eting it seems. And that she will return to the Ringard Imperial Kingdom by the end of this week.
「Well, that’s about all. Then, let’s start the first period right away… is what I’d like to say, but before that, there’s one more thing I want to say.」sensei said, and turned towards .
「Allen, Tenshi-sama was praising you highly. You seem to have contributed greatly in repelling Zerey Grazario!」
「Eh, uh…」
I was shaken by the sudden topic, and was at a loss for an answer.
「It was an unprecedented state of ergency where Ringard Palace was attacked. I would’ve liked to provide backup, but… at that ti, all the teachers of Thousand Blade Academy were on a holiday trip to『Cherin, the Land of Sakura』. Thus, I was unable to move in any way whatsoever.」
Leia-sensei said,「I’m sorry」with an apologetic expression.
「No, please don’t worry. Nobody could’ve predicted that would happen.」
That was a really historic incident.
Without any warning, Tenshi-sama’s Imperial Palace was hit by a surprise attack. It was probably the first ti even in the long history of the Ringard Imperial Kingdom.
Being prepared for such an abnormal situation would be too absurd.
Understandably, even the teachers need a vacation. And it is not strange to take advantage of the New Year holidays to go on a holiday trip.
「Hearing that from you makes feel a little better. But you did really well. As the Director of Thousand Blade Academy, I am very proud of you!」
She said, patting on the shoulder.
「Well, that’s all there is to it. First and second period will be soul dress class. The most important class in the new year. Give it all you’ve got!」
「「「YES!」」」
Then, we went to the Soul Dress Area following after sensei.
■
When we moved to the Soul Dress Area, each of us focused our minds and began a dialogue with our spirit core.
At present, not one student was holding a spirit sword.
Even without the assistance of a spirit sword, it was now possible to enter the world of the soul by oneself.
(Well then… It’s about ti to get started.)
I slowly dropped my eyelids and sank my consciousness into the inner depths of my soul.
When I opened my eyes, a desolate world was before .
Withered trees, Withered soil, Withered air.
A world without any moisture spread beyond the horizon.
Looking up at the huge rock towering in front of , that guy was sitting there with a ferocious expression.
「Yo. It’s been a while since we t in person.」
「…Shitty brat. You never learn do you. Seems like you ca here to get beaten to death again… E”e?」
In this way, I finally faced that guy in the world of the soul after a long ti.
