Chapter 183 - Allen Cell and Political Marriage [34]

183. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [34]

Fu asked me about what lies at the?end of the world?, with a serious expression.

?I’ve never really thought about the end of the world to be honest. If I remember correctly, there’s the?World Waterfall?, right??

According to the statement announced by the Holy Knights Association, this world is a huge square continent.

The elevated part is the land where man lives, and the ocean occupies most of the rest.

The world is flat, and at the end of it is a colossal waterfall – World Waterfall.

The sea water that flowed down from there will become rain before long and pour down back into this world.

That’s everything there is to it.

Further investigation is strictly prohibited by international law.

?Aa, it’s as you say. That’s what we have been taught so far. But I don’t think that is true at all.?

?… What do you mean??

?I have studied through history books, memoirs, classic literature, and all kinds of materials. However, there exists not a single material that describes anything remotely similar to the World Waterfall. Without any evidence, the only source we have to go by is the announcement from the Holy Knights Association. This is too unnatural and too strange. I can’t help but feel that it is artificial.?

Unusual for Fu, he explained passionately while clenching his fist.

?The Holy Knights Association most likely knows something significant. They are hiding monumental information in their headquarters which is protected by the strongest of mankind, the?Seven Holy Swords?!?

There was an expression of resentment and envy on his face.

?The end of the world is too far away, and the existing airplanes can’t reach there. At present, there is no way to get there. But I want to go beyond the World Waterfall someday! I can’t help wanting to know what’s beyond that! I joined the Black Organization for the sake of finding that out!?

?Is it to…?protect yourself???

?Yes. Studying history and investigating what lies at the end of the world – these are strictly forbidden by international law. With the abominable?historian hunting?, archaeologists like me have no place to turn to. We’re in a situation where we can’t even concentrate on our research without joining an organization like the Black Organization which boasts overwhelming might.?

?I see…?

Zack Bomber joined to accomplish something that he otherwise can’t with the Holy Knights Association.

Rain Glad joined to save Serena, who suffered from the Curse of Rain.

Fu Rudras joined to learn what lies at the end of the world.

Everyone seems to choose the Black Organization as a?means?to fulfill their wishes.

And when the explanation reached the end,

?Fuu…?

Fu exhaled loudly.

?Sorry. I got too fired up unbecoming of my age.?

And then he looked me straight in the eye, with a serious expression.

?Allen Rodore, you have?good eyes?.?

?…Good eyes??

?It’s not clouded by any color. It’s clear and straightforward. I wonder why… When I look at those eyes, I get drawn in. Before I know it, I feel like wanting to lend a hand.?

Fu said, finishing the cup of tea, and stood up.

?Now, that’s all I wished to talk about. You can do what you want.?

?…You’re not going to stop me??

?Unfortunately, today I am going to devote myself to deciphering history books. I didn’t get orders to?stop Allen Rodore?either. And I can’t hope to stop you with my power in the first place.?

He slowly closed his eyes, speaking with such humility.

?Your companions from just now – they seem to have met with some unexpected difficulties with the tight security of Numero’s residence. Five kilometers north of here, I hear them hiding in a storage shed in the?Numero Grand Garden?.?

?W-What do you mean!??

?I can listen to the?whispers of the wind?and pick up on conversations within a ten-kilometer radius. Five people uttering the name?Allen Rodore?is not common in the Empire. It’s undoubtedly the voice of your companions.?

Fu suddenly frowned, after saying in an indifferent manner.

?…Hmm? This is…?

?Did something happen??

?…You had better hurry. Apparently, the wedding has begun.?

?What!? That’s way too early! There should be at least three more hours left!?

There was still ten hours left until the wedding when I parted with Clown-san.

From then on, we went to the Phantom Spirit Laboratory and infiltrated the Empire through the spot.

After that, we got the black cloak from Zack, and now I’m here.

(…No matter how you look at it, it hasn’t been ten hours.)

It should only be around seven hours or so.

?Schedule means nothing to that arrogant Numero. That garbage truly thinks he is the center of the world.?

?Damnit!?

I immediately stood up and started running toward the rooftop.

?I’m praying for the success of the operation in secret.?

?Aa!?

After obtaining various information from Fu Rudras, I ran towards Numero’s residence at full speed.
