216. Entrance Exam and Valentines Day [13]

If this continues, her prince of fate will be connected to someone other than herself.

Sie’s heart, which received that cruel verdict, was about to break apart.

「There are a lot of people aiming for Allen-kun and each one of them is a strong rival… Ria Vesteria, maybe even Rose Valencia, Idol Luxmaria, and many others might be lurking around ready to ambush!」

「You don’t have the time to absent-mindedly sit around and worry about things in such a crucial situation!」

Sie, who received such severe points from Lilim and Ferris,

「Uuh…」

Had no counter argument, and all she could do was shut up and look down.

(Fufu, fu… This is getting kind of fun… )

(Ka-Kawaii… After all, Sie is the cutest in the world when she is troubled though…)

She was in so much dilemma that she couldn’t afford to notice her friends’ evil smiles.

(W-What to do, what to do, what to do!?)

Her eyes darted around and she fell into a state of panic.

Towards Sie, who was panicking, Lilim and Ferris added a follow-up as if they had been aiming for this moment.

「It’s okay. At present, there’s no doubt that Allen-kun likes you.」

「If you make the right moves, there’s a chance that the two of you will be together though…」

Sweet words immediately after being harsh.

Sie fell for the typical『carrot and stick』.

「R-Really?」

「Yes, it’s true! Think about it. Allen-kun invaded the Holy Ronelia Empire just to save you, didn’t he? He must at the very least like you!」

「And even if you always selfishly do whatever you want, Allen-kun still goes along with it. You can only call this love though…」

「Eh, Ehehe… I-Is that so?」

The pure and innocent Sie in regards to love, acted shy like a child.

「And according to my opinion, Allen-kun’s love experience is exactly zero, the same as you! From the innocent reactions that he occasionally shows, there is no doubt anymore!」

「Even though an inhuman, Allen-kun is a boy too. All boys of his age are animals. So if you use your body to seduce him a little, you can win easily!」

「U-Use my body!?」

Sie’s eyes widened to the unexpected proposal.

「Don’t worry. Your figure is perfect from top to bottom!」

「If you push that big chest close together… It’s a certain-win!」

「M-My, chest?」

As she looked down, soft, well-developed, bulging assets asserted their presence.

For about an hour after that, Sie greedily absorbed the knowledge of the contrived love books from Lilim and Ferris.

As a result,

「S-Somehow, I… I’m starting to feel like I might be able to do it!」

「All right. If you’ve decided to do that, then strike while the iron is hot! Let’s quickly call Allen-kun here!」

「I’m going to go to the broadcasting club because I have some influence there!」

「O-Ok, I will leave it to you!」

Thus, Sie, who was riled up by the two, set out on『Capture Allen Rodore Battle』.

■

February 7th.

I was swinging today as well when I started hearing the topic of Valentine’s Day pop up here and there.

The location of the practice-swing club in the academy has much improved compared to the beginning of the club.

(At that time, we were in the corner of the schoolyard, quietly swinging our swords, but…)

Now, more than 150 swordsmen devote themselves to their everyday training using the entire schoolyard.

「FU! HA! SEI!」

A person who swings the sword with cries full of vigour.

A person who continues to meditate while assuming the stance – Seigan no Kamae.

A person who practices various slashes with a swordsmanship book in one hand.

Everyone here was facing swordsmanship with an honest heart.

The sense of unity was irresistibly comfortable.

「「FU! HA! SEI!」」

Ria to my right, and Rose to my left.

On either side which seems to have become their fixed position, they continued swinging their sword while drenched in sweat.

And as I was swinging with my soul put into each swing, being motivated by the two beside me, suddenly the in-house broadcast rang out.

『Year 1 Class A Allen Rodore-kun, please come to the student council room alone. I repeat. Year 1 Class A–』

「I alone, to the student council room?」

And when I was tilting my head,

「This timing, a week before that day… Allen, be careful, okay? If something happens, shout for help right away, okay?」

「Recently things have been a little strange, but to think the battle will start so soon…. Allen, the enemy is mighty. Don’t let your guard down, okay?」

Having sensed something, Ria and Rose demanded the utmost vigilance for some reason.

「I-I don’t really understand, but… I’m going.」

I suspended the activity of the practice-swing club temporarily and went to the main academy building.

I went straight through the long corridor and arrived at the familiar student council room.

When I lightly knocked on the door in front of me,

「C-Come in…」

The president’s high-pitched voice replied.

「Excuse me.」

I opened the door slowly. There was the figure of the president who was blushing slightly.

Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai were nowhere to be seen.

Apparently, she’s the only one in the room.

(…There’s no mistaking it anymore.)

Connecting the fact that I alone was called here, and her tension filled face… The answer is quite obvious.

(After all, there seems to be『something』that she wants to tell me alone.)

The president’s behaviour has been very strange recently.

In all probability, just like during the time of political marriage, I’m guessing she’s having a big problem.

(Either the conflict between the royal faction and the noble faction, or the problem of House Arcstria, or a completely different problem…)

Anyway, there’s no doubt she’s facing a big problem that she can’t handle alone.

(……But I’m glad.)

I am simply so happy that she relied on me like this.

(As a man… No, as a swordsman, this is a crucial moment.)

In order to respond to the trust of my precious friend, I need to give my absolute best.

「What’s wrong, president?」

I advanced towards her, while being conscious to use as gentle a tone as possible to make it easier for the president to bring up the subject.
