35. Meeting at Summer Camp [3]
「S-Sid-san…!? Why are you here!?」
「Aa? That’s because you-」
And when he began speaking.
「-HEY, Sid! It’s cold, hurry up and put away your〈Vanargand〉!」
A beach ball flew from behind – hitting him in the back of the head directly.
「…AA?」
For a moment, he had a dangerous smile on his face, but…
The moment he learned that the person who threw the ball was the director of the Ice King Academy – Ferris-Dorahain,
「The Miss, is cold…」
Surprisingly, he erased〈Vanargand〉obediently.
「Good grief! Suddenly the hot southern seas felt so chilly… Eh? If I’m not mistaken… aren’t you Allen-kun?」
Behind Ferris-san, dressed in her usual kimono, was several students dressed in the uniform of Ice King Academy.
「Sid-san, and Ferris-san, and the people of the Ice King Academy… Why on earth are you here?」
「What do you mean『why』? Obviously it’s a summer camp for the student council.」
I was deeply surprised at that statement.
「S-Student Council…!? Sid-san…!?」
「…AA? Do you have a problem with that?」
「N-No… I thought it was a bit surprising.」
Sid-san, who is violent and doesn’t seem to follow the rules… is part of the student council?
…It doesn’t fit his image at all.
「Fufu, even with the way he is, our Sid is actually good with his head, you know?」
Saying that, she nudged Sid-san’s head.
「Miss, what do you mean『even with the way he is』… I don’t have such a stupid face.」
「Ahaha, I didn’t say a stupid face. Don’t worry, you are cute.」
「I’m not cute…」
The two had such a friendly conversation.
Sid-san, who is usually harsh, is noticeably『soft』only when he talks to Ferris-san.
(What kind of relationship do they have…?)
When I was thinking about that,
「A-A-A-Are you perhaps…!? Allen-sama!?」
A student of the Ice King Academy came towards me while trembling all over.
Moderately long black hair.
Black-rimmed glasses. Slender and tall.
A silver pendant that mimics a bright cross hanging around the chest.
I’m sure this person was…
「E-Err, are you… Cain-san?」
Then the next moment, his eyes widened.
「Oh, oh…!? You remember someone like me…?! …Kuu, I, Cain-material, feel like rising to heaven!」
「Well, it was only three months ago.」
Yes. It has only been three months since that tumultuous Big Five Holy Festival.
The Big Five Holy Festival, the Magic Swordsman Apprenticeship, the Black Organization – Duel with Dodriel, the Club Budget War, and the semester finals.
Looking back, I’ve been living a tense life for the past 3 months.
(But was Cain-san always like this…?)
I feel like he was more calm than this.
And then,
「Haa… You’ve become so sick, Oi…」
Sid-san shot a cold look towards Cain-san as if he were an insect.
「What are you talking about, Sid! I’m not sick! -Aa, but Allen-sama! After all, the『person himself』is wonderful! Dignified standing figure! The body that has been trained to its limits! The eyes that contain kindness and strength! Unlike the recorded『video』, all of them are dazzling!」
He scanned me from the tip of my toes to the top of my head as he said so with a sense of excitement.
「T-Thanks…」
…Clearly, it was not an ordinary behaviour.
Where did the former calm and composed man disappeared to?
「Sid-san… Just why did Cain-san become like this…!?」
「Haa? Why the hell do I have to tell the enemy trash about that?」
「Y-Yeah that’s right, sorry…」
I’ve completely made a mistake with the person I’m asking towards.
Sid-san, who hates me with a passion, is not going to be kind enough to talk to me.
「……」
「……」
And, when a slight silence loomed over,
「……He became like that just after the Big Five Holy Festival was over.」
Sid-san slowly spoke.
(Oh, he’s going to tell me…)
He’s a dangerous person, but he seems to have his own peculiar kindness.
「Cain became a little messed up in the head, from the frustration of losing to you… 『I should also be able to surpass the 100years that Allen was able to surpass』, he said… and pricked the tip of his finger with〈Hell Hundred〉…」
〈Hell Hundred〉- Cain-san’s soul dress which is a mental interference-type.
The mind of the target which was cut is sealed for a very short period of one hundred years.
It is a slightly disappointing ability without a loop function.
It can be said that it is the lowest version of the 100 million years button.
「He didn’t have the same monster soaked mentality as you to bear〈Hell Hundred〉… Eventually, Cain who was going mad was immediately hospitalized, and he was this way when he woke up…」
Saying that, Sid-san shook his head as though he were disgusted.
「And in tandem with him! Foolishly, I stepped into the domain of God – and I was unconscious in a serious condition for about a month… Though however! Thanks to that, I was awakened! So, I don’t have even the slightest regret!」
「I-Is that so…」
His eyes were now giving off a『dangerous vibe』.
The people of Ice King Academy are dangerous in many ways.
「-By the way, Allen-sama. Can I ask something?」
「Y-Yeah… go ahead.」
To be honest, I don’t want to get involved too much, but…
There is no way I can ignore him so bluntly.
「Oh, thank you! So, right away – you were in that hellish world for a long time of 100 years… What were you doing all that time?」
「Let’s see… Primarily, just practice-swings.」
Actually, I wanted to do more training, but…
The real thing is that the time of 100 years was too short, so I『couldn’t do anything but swing』.
「P-Practice-Swings…!? You were swinging for 100 years…!?」
「Y-Yes.」
For me, who have been swinging for more than a billion years, swinging for a hundred years went by in the blink of an eye.
「Kuh… what strong mental power! An earnest approach to swordsmanship! As expected, Allen-sama is the best!」
「Cain-san, if possible, I’d like you to stop calling me『Allen-sama』…」
The students of the Ice King Academy have been staring at us strangely for a while.
I want to correct it early before a strange rumor starts to circulate.
「Oh, please excuse my impoliteness… Well, from now on, I will address you as『God』!」
「Please never do that…」
In this way, as I continue to have a conversation that does not mesh with Cain-san,
「T-Then, just how should I call… w-what!?」
Suddenly, a huge helicopter hovered in mid-air.
Immediately after that – two figures jumped down from it.
「「「Wha!?」」」
The two who fell from a few hundred meters above the ground,
「Heyo! Everyone seems to be doing well!」
「Yes… yes, it would be helpful if you could arrange it that way. Yeah, yes… best regards.」
It was Leia-sensei who was in a playful spirit, and No.18-san who responded on the telephone busily.
What kind of legs do the both of them have… They didn’t seem to be fazed from the impact of the fall.
「Le-Leia-sensei!? and No.18-san as well… why are you here?」
「For crying out loud! Going to the training camp will need an advisor’s lead!」
「S-So, that means the advisor of the student council is Leia-sensei…?」
「Well, that’s how it is! Now then, the long-awaited resort! Freed from daily hard work, let’s go have fuー Ferris!? Why are you here!?」
A 180 turn around from her good mood – sensei, who found Ferris-san, had a blatantly disgusted expression on her face.
「That’s my line! Even though it’s supposed to be a super fun summer camp, why do I have to look at such a boring face… Haa, we’re going to be hit by bad luck…」
「What’d you say, you vixen…!」
And as the two who had a cat and dog relationship began quarreling,
「Allen-kun! Sorry to keep you wait-… eh? There seems to be more people now.」
「Aa, looking closely, they seem to be the group from Ice King Academy!」
「No, more importantly… there seems to be a strange group of people, fallen on the ground… It smells like trouble, though…」
The president, Lilim-senpai, and Ferris-senpai, who had finished cleaning the mansion, returned.
And at the same time,
「We are the Holy Knights of Veneria branch!」
「The suspicious people – are over there!」
「T-This is serious… Get in touch with the rescue team right away!」
Rose came back accompanied by a great number of Holy Knights.
「Rose, you were too late. Where did you go?」
「There was no phone at the beach house, so I went to the nearby station.」
「I see, thank you.」
The Holy Knights, advanced with the site processing skillfully.
Then, one of them walked over here briskly.
「You guys are victims, aren’t you? That uniform…… Are you students of Thousand Blade Academy and Ice King Academy? I’d like to hear more about it, but before that, are your teachers nearby?」
「W-Well, they’re over there…」
And at the end of my gaze,
「Haa, 『Crybaby Ferris』! Shall I make your face uneven like a potato again!?」
「Go ahead if you can! I’ll beat you at your own game, you『Muscle Head』!」
There was the sight of Leia-sensei and Ferris-san, tussling and shouting abuse at each other.
How do I put this… I felt quite embarrassed.
And then,
「T-This is『spirit pill』!?」
「Is the Black Organization involved after all…?」
「Report this immediately to headquarters – to the Senior Holy Knights…!」
The Holy Knights who were proceeding with on-site processing were emitting a somewhat unsettling vibe.
Meanwhile,
「Come, Sid! Let’s『swing』together! It’s the word of Allen-sama ー word of『God』!」
「Gross, don’t come near me… shitty glasses!」
Cain-san, who was happily swinging, encouraged Sid-san to do it as well.
On the other hand,
「Yoshi, I’ve decided! Then, let’s make a joint summer camp with Ice King Academy this year!」
「Oh, that’s good! It’s sure to be exciting!」
「Uwaa, Sie started to say something super bothersome again, though…」
The president also said something astounding.
(It somehow became so turbulent in a single moment…)
After a short discussion, a joint summer camp with Ice King Academy was finally held.
(……I beg you, please let’s finish this quietly without any incident.)
With that small wish in my heart, I heaved a loud sigh.
