Chapter 35 - Meeting at Summer Camp [3] (1/2)
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』.
