Chapter 166. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [17]
I decided to propose the amazing idea that just crossed my mind.
?Hey, why don’t we rely on that man??
????That man…?????
?Thirteen Knights of The Oracle – Rain Glad.?
??…!!??
??T-Thirteen Knights of Oracle…!???
Ria and Rose widened their eyes, whereas Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai, who didn’t know the circumstances, their mouths gaped open.
?Rain was a top executive of the Black Organization; he might know something about the?Spot?!?
The base of activities of the Black Organization is located in the Holy Ronelia Empire. In other words, he should also be familiar with the geography of the Empire.
If everything goes smoothly, we might be able to discover the whereabouts of the noble Numero Dolan without much trouble.
And then,
?N-No, no, wait a minute! Is Allen-kun connected to the Black Organization??
?I-I have heard rumors like that, but I can’t believe it was real, though…!??
Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai’s faces turned pale.
Apparently… I seem to have caused a terrible misunderstanding.
?I-It’s a misunderstanding! How do I put this… Due to a number of reasons, I happened to cross swords with him once.?
?You fought one of the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle!? What the hell! Isn’t that a huge incident!??
?Just when did you…? Or rather, I’d like you to explain more about it, though!?
As I gave a vague explanation, the senpai’s eyes widened in surprise and threw questions at me.
?…Sorry. I can’t talk about the details at the moment. But I defeated Rain, so you don’t have to worry about that.?
The promise I made with Clown-san has made me unable to talk about Dagrio.
So I had no choice but to convey only a fragmented information that?I defeated Rain.?
?Y-You?defeated?one of the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle…??
?If I remember correctly… A while ago, you also?repelled?the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle, Fu-Rudras, though…!??
Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai exclaimed dumbfoundedly.
On the other hand, Ria and Rose, who had met Rain before, were thinking about something else.
?I see. He also hates the Black Organization, and he didn’t seem to be a bad person at heart, so… you might be right.?Ria said.
?But he was taken by the Holy Knights, right? He’s probably in a prison somewhere. Do you have any idea how to get to him, Allen??Rose asked.
?Clown-san was deeply involved in that incident. If we talk to him, we might learn something.?
In addition, Clown-san used to work for the Holy Knights Association’s?Headquarters?.
I’m certain he knows at least something about Rain’s whereabouts.
And as we agreed upon that,
?I don’t really understand, but… Anyway, we should just go to the Holy Knights Association, right!??
?If there is even the slightest possibility, we’ll have to go, though…!?
Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai exclaimed and rushed out of the student council room.
?Ria, Rose, let’s go too!?
Thus, we grabbed onto that slight possibility and headed to the Orest branch of the Holy Knights Association.
?
After arriving at the Orest branch, we talked to the receptionist and headed to the branch-chief’s office.
Clown-san was in his office room, dressed in his usual clown attire.
I briefly explained the current situation to him, who greeted us in a light tone.
?So, for that reason we’re tracking down the whereabouts of Rain Glad. Clown-san, do you know anything about that??
And when I arrived at the issue at hand,
?Oh… He’s in our dungeon right now.?
An unbelievable answer which I did not expect.
?Is that true!??
?Yes!?
?Please let me see him!?
?No!?
Clown-san stated his refusal bluntly.
?W-Why not??
?If you find out the location of the spot… You’re going to go, aren’t you? To the Holy Ronelia Empire??
Unusual for Clown-san, he asked me with a serious look.
?…Yes.?
There’s no use lying. So I answered honestly.
?Then I can’t let you see Rain. Let me be frank, it’s too early for you to go to the Empire.?
Clown-san said, and continued with a heavy tone.
?Allen-san, you are certainly strong. In the?future?, you will surely become a remarkable swordsman who will stand on the world stage. But?now?, however, you are still a child. Your body, mental strength, and soul dress, are all immature and still in the developing stage.?he said in a matter-of-fact manner, looking at my body.
?To be honest… It would be a waste.?
?A waste??
?Yes. It would be a waste to let an?unequalled talent?which can turn the world?upside down?to be extinguished at this juncture in time, that is what Rize-san said.?
?Rize-san…?
?There are a lot of monstrously strong swordsmen in this world; The Thirteen Knights of the Oracle under the Emperor’s direct control, The Seven Strongest Swordsmen of Mankind and the pride of the Holy Knights Association – the Seven Holy Swords. They overcame countless life and death battles and became genuine?monsters?who have reached the point?beyond soul dress?. For Allen-san, in your current immature state, you can’t even lift a finger against those kinds of opponents.?
It is all… as Clown-san says.
After all, I, the?Dropout Swordsman?cannot reach the?Genius Swordsmen?who vie for supremacy on the world stage – no, there isn’t even a chance for me to reach them in the first place.
?But if I give up here…?
If we give up here… What will become of the president?
She, who was sold by the Ringard Imperial Kingdom to marry a nobleman who treats women like playthings… would probably go through hell everyday.
(That is… unacceptable!)
And when I clenched my fist strongly,
?…I am also aware of the matter of the political marriage. Sie Arcstria, what a poor child… Because she was born into House Arcstria, because she was born with a very good appearance, the worst of the worst nobles, Numero set eyes upon her. She was just really unlucky.?Clown-san said, with sympathy from the bottom of his heart.
?Allen-san… Won’t you please make the?adult?decision in this place? If you do something reckless now, a huge number of people who could’ve been saved, will be left to their fates in the future. I understand your feelings painfully well, but this time… Won’t you please lay down your sword??
He proposed with an extremely serious expression.
