The Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button

153. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [4]

「By studying darkness… Do you mean this darkness…?」

I brought out darkness in the palm of my right hand.

「Yes. The darkness which is Allen-sama’s ability.」

She looked at the darkness with interest and proceeded with the talk.

「Various institutions around the world have been researching curses. The result of enormous budget and large scale personnel moved for that cause… As you already know, we have nothing to show for it. The effects, activation condition, and dispelling method of the curse, we still haven’t found anything.」

Tenshi-sama, who explained the current situation in regards to curse,

「But Allen-sama’s darkness, as though mocking all our past research, dispelled the curse instantly! It was the first time that mankind has overcome the curse of monsters and demons. This is definitely a historic achievement!」she said passionately, with a hopeful expression.

「And Allen-sama, the user of darkness, has absolute『resistance』to curses as reported by Rodis!」

「Resistance, huh…」

The Curse Method which Zerey used, Fire Oppression, Lightning Oppression, Water Oppression, they all disappeared as soon as they came into contact with my body.

(Certainly, looking at it from that perspective… I may have something akin to resistance to curse…)

When I was thinking about that,

「The curse which originated from the demon attack that occurred yesterday, is currently running rampant in Polyesta Federation and Republic of Gonzo. According to the information, the number of victims is slightly over『100,000 people』…」

Tenshi-sama uttered an unbelievable piece of information.

「100,000 people…!?」

「Yes. According to the doctor, they only have a few more days left…」

「N-No way…」

It seems that things are much more serious than I imagined.

「Allen-sama, please… Would you let us study your darkness to discover a cure for the curse?」Tenshi-sama said, requesting earnestly with a serious expression.

「I understand the situation. If that’s the case, of course I don’t mind. I will help as much as I can.」

If this power can save the lives of so many people, I couldn’t be happier.

I want them to study it to their heart’s content and somehow find a way to treat the curse.

「Thank you very much! I knew for sure that’s what Allen-sama would say…!」Tenshi-sama said, and held my hand tightly.

At that moment, Ria’s face turned sour for just a slight moment.

「B-By the way, Tenshi-sama! How on earth do you plan to study this darkness!?」

I immediately advanced the conversation, and at the same time casually escaping her hand.

「For now, we’re going to treat the cursed people and analyze them with precision equipment. How exactly does Allen-sama’s darkness affect the curse? We will figure it out from there first.」

「I see…」

「The location is Ringard National Laboratory. There is a full array of the latest precision equipment, so you should be able to devote to the research without any inconvenience. This time, we have submitted a research request to a medical doctor who is noted as『the best in the world』.」

「B-Best in the world…!?」

「Yes. She is a fearsomely excellent individual who established a treatment for various incurable diseases at a young age. Moreover, she has a remarkable track record not only in medicine but also in science, mathematics, history, and various other fields. A remarkable individual whom the word『genius』fits perfectly.」

It seems that an incredible person will participate in this research.

「Personality wise, she’s a little… No, she’s quite problematic, but… her abilities are the real deal.」Tenshi-sama said, while scratching her cheeks.

「I-Is that so… Then we should try not to displease them…」

It may be a prejudice, but I have an image of geniuses usually being uncooperative in my head.

(It will become troublesome if I say something strange, so…)

I have to be careful when choosing my words.

「According to schedule, it’s about time for her to arrive, but…」

At the same time when Tenshi-sama glanced at the clock, there was a knock on the door.

「Speak of the devil… It looks like she just arrived.」

When Tenshi-sama issued permission to enter the room,

「E-Excuse me…!」

The door slowly opened, and a little girl stepped into the room with a meek look on her face.

Her height is roughly 140 centimeters.

She has youthful skin and a face so childlike, she probably couldn’t buy sake at stores.

Parched, black hair that extends to the back

Wearing a white coat that doesn’t fit her size, and a small sword that looked like a wakizashi was fastened to her waist.

(T-That’s…!?)

No mistaking her.

It is Chemy Fasta, the director of White Lily Academy.

「The best doctor in the world… It was about Chemy-san!?」

「Yes. She is a very busy person who also concurrently serves as the director of White Lily Academy.」

「Ha, haa…」

Come to think of it…

(During ability measurement, didn’t Idol say that Chemy-san is a『genius scientist』?)

When I was recalling that small incident,

「T-Then, Tenshi-sama…! What you told me was true, right!? It’s not a lie, right…!?」Chemy-san asked, with a tense expression, while approaching Tenshi-sama.

「Yes, of course. In the event that you discover a way to treat the curse, we will give you『100 Million Gold』as success reward.」

…It seems that Chemy-san was attracted by the hefty amount of success reward.

What can I say… she is the same as ever.

「Fu, fufu… With that much, let alone paying off the debt… I can indulge in a life of gambling…!」

As she gave an eerie laugh,

「Now then, Allen-kun! Time is money! Let’s quickly solve the mystery of the curse! Specifically, within three days which is the due date for repayment of the debt…!」

She rushed out of the room and ran down the stairs.

「Haa… For the time being, shall we go too?」

「Yes, that’s right.」

And I and Ria,

「Allen-sama, Ria-sama, Chemy-sama. Thank you very much.」

Were seen off by Tenshi-sama as we left for the Ringard National Laboratory.
