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

Chapter 173 - Allen Cell And Political Marriage [24]



173. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [24]

When Lilim-senpai called out to the prisoner in front of her, the man called Sebas slowly raised his face.

「Oya… It’s been a long time, Lilim. What are you doing here?」

The moment I heard his voice and name, I remembered everything.

(If I remember correctly… He is the vice-president of the student council, Sebas Chandler!)

A formidable swordsman who sneaked into the Holy Ronelia Empire alone and brought back the Blood Diamond requested by the president.

His strength is the real deal.

At the Sword King Festival, he cut down Lily Gonzalez, the general of White Lily Academy, in one stroke.

But immediately after that, he was taken away by the Holy Knights due to various circumstances, so I completely forgot about his existence until just now.

When I remember what happened a few months ago,

「Sebas, it’s an emergency! We need your help!」

With a serious expression, Lilim-senpai asked Sebas-san, who was sitting in seiza. [1. TL Note: “Seiza” is the Japanese term for the standard formal traditional way of sitting in Japan.]

However,

「No. I won’t move from here. To be more precise, I can’t move.」

Without even considering it, he immediately shook his head.

「What? Why…? Is it such a heavy crime!?」

Sebas sneaked into the Empire, a country banned from travel, and stole a rare mine resource, the Blood Diamond.

Perhaps being confined in this dungeon is the punishment for that crime.

And as Lilim-senpai looked to Clown-san,

「No, it would actually be helpful if you can take him away. He’s actually sitting there of his own volition, which also causes trouble for me.」

He scratched his cheek lightly, and smiled bitterly.

(…Sitting there of his own volition?)

I didn’t really understand what that meant, but…

Apparently, the reason he can’t move from here was not because of a『punishment』.

And then,

「The president said at that time, “I’ll pick you up later, so behave until then”. So I wait. Until the time when she’ll pick me up.」Sebas-san said, and quietly closed his eyes.

(…I see, that’s what it is.)

It seems that he stayed here of his own will.

(Come to think of it… When Sebas-san was taken by the Holy Knights, the president did say such a thing.)

It’s vague, but I remember.

However, judging from this current situation… She no doubt forgot about Sebas-san.

What can I say… I kind of felt sorry for him.

「I don’t care about such old stories! More than that, your dearest Sie is being used as a tool for political marriage!」

「In less than ten hours, she’ll be married to a noble of the Empire, though…!」

Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai shouted as they hit the glass pane.

「…HA!?」

Sebas-san’s mouth gaped open.

「…Lilim, Ferris. I think you know this, but I hate jokes. I’ll seriously get angry if you screw around too much.」

With a gentle smile on his face, he began to emit bloodlust, which almost causes my body to shudder.

「T-This is not a joke! Even right now, Sie is no longer in this country!」

「No one would make such a sick joke, though…」

「So you’re not lying, are you?」

Sebas-san asked, with a sharp gaze, and the two of them nodded at the same time.

「…I see. Understood.」

He stood up and slowly walked towards the glass.

And the next moment,

「…!」

He swung his right arm at an indiscernible speed, and tore through the tempered glass like tearing through a piece of paper.

「「「「「Wha!!!?」」」」」

After escaping without any difficulty, he stretched his body greatly.

(As I expected, this person is pretty strong.)

I heard that No.18-san used disposable chopsticks as a makeshift sword to cut iron bars, but…

Sebas-san smashed tempered glass with his bare hands.

「T-This glass is crazy expensive, you know…」

Clown-san dropped his shoulders and looked at the broken pieces of glass on the floor with a pained expression.

In that situation, Sebas-san turned towards me.

「It’s only been a few months, but, Allen, you seem to have pushed further through the “inhuman path”. You are quite something to still remain sane even with that much power.」he said, shrugging his shoulders, seeming astounded for some reason.

(Now that I think about it, I feel like I’ve been told the same thing before. Perhaps this person knows about Zeon?)

When I was thinking about that,

「Well nevermind, that is Allen’s own problem. Now, how do we save the president? Give me instructions.」Sebas-san said, looking me straight in the eye.

「First, we’ll head to the『Phantom Spirit Laboratory』in the outskirts of Drestia and find the『spot』. You can think of the spot as a place where you can travel back and forth between the Imperial Kingdom and the Empire. We will use it to invade the Empire and attack the residence of Numero Dolan which is the ceremonial hall. Then, after we rescue the president, we use the spot to return in the same way.」

「…I see, it’s not bad.」

「According to Clown-san, the ceremony will start in about ten hours. To be honest, we don’t have much time anymore. I’d like to leave as soon as possible. Are you all right to move right away?」

「Of course. Even while we’re doing this, the president is having a hard time. We have to save her even if by one minute sooner!」

「Yes!」

Now that we were all gathered, we headed to the Ringard Branch of the Phantom Spirit Laboratory.
