The Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button
chapter-198

198. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [49]

After jumping into the spot, I passed through the『Shadow World』and arrived at the Phantom Spirit Laboratory in Ringard Imperial Kingdom.

Ria, Rose, President, Lilim-senpai, Ferris-senpai – After confirming everyone’s safe arrival, I breathed a sigh of relief.

(Thank goodness. We were all able to come back safely.)

Although, there was the exception of Sebas-san.

But he belonged to the『Organization』from the beginning, and he just returned to where he belonged.

Looking at the results, we succeeded in rescuing the president without losing anyone.

This incident can be called a complete victory.

When I exhaled a breath of relief,

「Allen, I’m glad you’re safe! You were a little late, so I was worried if something happened over there.」

Ria rushed up to me, with a worried look.

I seem to have caused her to worry.

「I’m sorry, Sebas-san stopped me for a moment.」

「By Sebas-san? What was it about?」

「It’s umm… Well, it was something like a farewell.」

The last piece of advice he gave… I’ll ask about Ria’s physical condition when we’re alone later.

『Health condition』is a bit of a delicate topic.

It’s not something you should talk about in front of such a large group of people.

And when the conversation with Ria was cut short,

「Fuu… But, everything went really well. Infiltrating the evil superpower, Holy Ronelia Empire, and attacking the great noble, Numero Dolan. In addition, cutting down one of the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle standing guard, and rescuing the president, who was our objective. After that, without losing anyone in the middle of enemy territory, we returned safely to the Imperial Kingdom. This would make global headlines.」

Rose leaned against the wall and said so, exhaling loudly.

「Fufufu. I was there after all. So our success was pretty much guaranteed!」

「No, Lillim, you were only – or rather, the both of us were only stalling for time, though…」

Lilim-senpai asserted full of confidence, whereas Ferris-senpai retorted.

This is a scene that unfolds almost every day in the student council room.

(…I guess it’s because we’ve all been too nervous until now.)

Such an ordinary exchange felt really pleasant.

After we took a short breather and calmed down, the president exhaled slightly.

「The Empire, who was disgraced in this incident, may be aiming for everyone’s life now. I’m really sorry for causing trouble to all of you.」

She bowed her head deeply, with an apologetic expression on her face.

And then,

「Fuu, Sie is a worry wart as ever… But be relieved. You don’t have to worry about us being targeted by the Empire at all!」

Perhaps she had some basis for that, as Lilim-senpai declared strongly.

「H-How can you be so sure?」

「It’s simple. In the emergency broadcast from Belios Castle, they said『The enemy forces, led by Allen Rodore.』 And it was Allen-kun who crashed the wedding. Allen-kun was seen by the nobles who gathered there from all over the Empire, including Numero. And not to mention, it was also Allen-kun who shot down the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle! If anyone were to be targeted for their life, it would be『Special Class Force』Allen Rodore instead of『small fish』like us!」

When she said so as though it was someone else’s problem,

「Like-I-Said… That’s what I’m most worried about!」

The president glared at Lilim-senpai with a sullen expression.

「A-Ahaha… I’ll try my best not to be killed.」

My life is being targeted by an international large-scale criminal organization and the Empire.

The scale was so huge, that it doesn’t even feel real anymore.

(Well, anyway… If their target is limited to myself alone, that is more favourable.)

I was the one who proposed to infiltrate the Empire to rescue the president.

Actions are equally accompanied by『responsibility』.

I was resolved from the very beginning to make an enemy out of the Empire and the Black Organization.

(Everyone came along with me despite knowing the dangers. So I can’t cause them anymore trouble.)

This situation where I am the only one to be targeted is rather『lucky』.

When I was thinking about that,

「But to think that Sebas-san was a member of the Black Organization…」

With a serious expression on her face, Rose brought up the『subject』that we had to talk about without fail.
