Chapter 158 - Allen Cell and Political Marriage [9] (1/2)

158. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [9]

We arrived at Ringard Palace, dragging along Chemy-san, who was resisting to the bitter end, and reported about Allen cells and the new medicine to Tenshi-sama. She immediately ordered mass production of the new medicine and promised to export them to Polyesta Federation and Republic of Ronzo at low price.

Chemy-san reluctantly accepted the『100 Million Gold』and went to the debt-collector. Whereas, Ria and I returned to the dormitory of Thousand Blade Academy for the first time in a few days.

After that, with only two days left of winter vacation, Ria and I spent it by going to the New Year’s shrine visit, stocking up on food ingredients, and such.

(Actually, I wanted to visit mother and Paula-san, but…)

Perhaps because of staying up all night for about two days to find a cure for the curse, Ria wasn’t in perfect health.

(Leaving aside Paula-san’s dormitory, there is a reasonable distance to Goza Village.)

I can’t leave Ria and go alone when she is unwell, but that said, I can’t take her with me either.

It’s a little unfortunate, but I decided to visit mother and everyone else during spring break.

And then, January 7th arrived.

The two weeks of winter vacation ended, and daily life at Thousand Blade Academy started again.

「Hmm… It’s a nice day.」

Sunshine filtered in through the gaps in the curtains.

The time was seven o’clock in the morning, just the right time to get up.

(Ria is… over there, huh…)

Delicious smell drifted from the kitchen.

It seems that she is making breakfast.

「Good morning, Ria. How are you feeling?」

「Oh, good morning Allen. Thanks to you, my body is fine. Thank you for caring about me.」

「I see, glad to hear that.」

Then I quickly finished morning preparations and headed to Thousand Blade Academy with Ria.

When I opened the door of Year 1 Class A, many of my classmates, including Tessa, were already there.

「Good morning, everyone.」

When I greeted my classmates whom I saw for the first time in two weeks,

「Oh, you’re finally here!」

「I saw the newspaper, Allen! You achieved something amazing again!」

「Hey, Allen-kun… Was the『Demon』really that strong? There’s a rumour going on that all the Holy Knights in the palace were beaten without putting up a fight.」

「Or rather, what is『Allen Cell』? Tenshi-sama announced that it was a『special medicine for the curse.』…Does this have something to do with you too?」

A number of questions were thrown towards me in rapid succession.

「Eh, uh…」

As I answered each question one by one, a chime rang to announce the morning homeroom.

At the same time, the door of the classroom opened vigorously, and Leia-sensei walked in.

「Good morning, everyone! Without delay, let’s start our morning homeroom!」
