293. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [64]

Yes, I said “anything”, but…

「Well… like I told everyone earlier, I don’t have any money.」

Things that cost a lot are beyond my power.

This may not be immediately apparent, but I’m actually incredibly poor.

If the president asks for jewelry or branded bags, that might be difficult to fulfil.

「Fufu, you don’t have to worry. That’s not what I want.」

The president, who reverted to her usual way of speaking, raised her index finger in a very good mood.

「Then what should I do?」

「About that… Can you give me a “pinky swear”?」

She stuck out the pinky of her right hand, while blushing.

「Pinky swear?」

「T-That’s right. I want you to make me a firm promise. That you will never lie to me, ever. Then I shall believe everything that Allen-kun says.」

「R-Really!?」

In the first place, I do not lie to important people such as Ria, Rose, and the president.

(Basically, the president wants assurance that she can trust me at all times no matter what!)

I immediately entwined my pinky with her thin and soft pinky.

「I promise. I will never lie to you for the rest of my life.」

I declared, looking straight into the president’s eyes.

「You promise, right? You can’t lie to me for the rest of your life, right?」

Her face turned bright red as she emphasized the “rest of your life” part.

「Of course.」

「Onee-san might lie sometimes, so… are you still okay with that?」

「Yes, no problem.」

The president is a very kind person. She sometimes tells white lies, but never hurtful ones.

「I-If you ever lie… then you will have to swallow a thousand needles, okay?」

「Yes, you can trust me.」

If I ever break this promise, I would swallow 2,000 needles if needed.

「O-Okay, then. I will believe that everything Allen-kun said is true. And I’ll forgive you this time for… seeing me naked.」

「T-Thank you very much!」

In this way, I won the trust of the three girls, and finally was able to take a breath of relief.
