The Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button - Chapter 420 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [190]

420. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [190]

We arrived at the dormitory where Rose lives.

I knocked on the door.

「Rose. It’s me, Allen.」

「…Allen? What happened– oh, everyone is here too.」

Rose opened the door in her casual clothes.

Her eyes were slightly red and swollen.

Perhaps she was crying alone.

I instinctively wanted to scream “Are you okay?”, but I forcibly swallowed those words.

「What is everyone doing here?」she asked.

I then told her about building Bacchus-san’s grave.

「–That’s why we’re here. What do you think?」

「…Thank you. That makes me happy. But isn’t it a little too dangerous? What if people like Deal and Von are still hiding in Cherin.」

「You don’t have to worry about that. This time, Leia-sensei will accompany us.」

Just before we left Thousand Blade Academy earlier, we happened to run into Leia-sensei.

When we briefly explained the situation, she immediately replied that she would accompany us

“Black Fist” Leia Lasnode, the national force of Ringuard Imperial Kingdom.

There is no one more reliable than her when it comes to “battle”.

With her presence, we can safely travel to Cherin.

「I see… Thank you, everyone. Since my grandfather just loves flashy things, I want to build a big, conspicuous, magnificent grave. And I am sure he will be happy if Allen and everyone else visits him.」

In this way, we were heading to Cherin once again.

The next day.

I, Ria, Rose, the president, Lilim-senpai, Ferris-senpai, Leia-sensei, and No.18-san traveled to Cherin on a private jet owned by House Arcstria.

「…Hmm, there seems to be a lot of confusion.」

Leia-sensei murmured, while walking along the hustle and bustle of the main street.

「Their national treasure, the “100 Million Year Sakura” vanished, after all.」No.18-san added.

(We can’t see that beautiful sakura blossom again…)

Perhaps because Bacchus-san died, the 100 Million Year Sakura that had been in full bloom until just a few days ago had completely disappeared.

「…Grandfather.」

Rose puts her right hand on her chest, with a sad look on her face.

After that, while paying attention to our surroundings, we proceeded through the crowded road.

「Is that it?」

Leia-sensei, who was at the forefront of the group, asked, looking back at us. We nodded.

The island where we fought two true soul dress users, Von Mustang and Deal Reinstadt, was right in front of us.

Since that island is surrounded by a special ocean current, it cannot be reached by sea.

Also since there are no established air routes, it was literally an “isolated island”.

Last time, we used gliders to move there.

This time, however, in order to avoid conspicuous actions as much as possible, I built a simple bridge using Zeon’s darkness.

「Hou, a foothold with darkness, huh… As usual, it’s an ability with various application usage.」

I thanked Leia-sensei for that admiration-filled statement.

By the way, I had the idea for this technique when I saw Bacchus-san building a bridge with a root of the 100 Million Year Sakura.

When we arrived at the island safely, Leia-sensei turned to No.18-san.

「No. 18. Keep an eye on the perimeter of this island, just in case. If a suspicious person approaches the island, contact me immediately.」

「What should I do if a battle breaks out immediately?」

「Only if the enemy is a true soul dress user, I grant you special permission to bring out your true soul dress. However, create “portals” in two prominent locations, and temporarily withdraw if the battle seems to be prolonged. And most important of all – don’t get carried away and “don’t lose control”. Follow these three conditions even if it means death. Do you understand?」

「Yes, understood.」

「Alright, let’s go.」

No.18-san bowed reverently and immediately started working.

As far as I understood from the current conversation, it seems that Leia-sensei and No.18-san are also “true soul dress users”.

As expected, it is very reassuring to have them with us.
