Chapter 169 - Allen Cell and Political Marriage [20] (1/2)

169. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [20]

As soon as I blew Clown-san away, Ria came running up to me.

「Are you alright, Allen!?」

「Ah, somehow…」

I clad myself in a dark robe and healed my torn muscles in an instant.

My body was light as a feather because the repulsive force acting on my body disappeared.

「Nee, Allen. What on earth was that last blow?」Rose asked, with a serious expression.

「…Sorry. I don’t know either.」

The only thing I can say is that the power that blew Clown-san away is by no means mine.

Having said that, Zeon didn’t have anything to do with it either.

It was like “something foreign was mixed in”. A strange feeling.

(What was that power…)

As I looked at my right hand,

「Ouuuuch…」

Clown-san, who crashed into the wall, slowly got up.

「Man… As expected of Allen-san, you easily exceeded my expectations!」he laughed in his usual light tone, and very happily for some reason.

「Clown-san, it is my victory. Please let me see Rain.」

「I don’t really like it, but a promise is a promise.」he said, shrugging his shoulders.

It looks like he’ll keep his promise.

「Thank you very much.」

A lot of things happened, but we finally took a step forward.

(All that’s left is whether Rain knows about the『spot』or not.)

But the odds are quite high that he does.

He was one of the top executives of the Black Organization – one of the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle.

There is no way such a high executive is not informed about the spot arranged in each country.

When I was thinking about that,

「I still have a little paperwork left, so please wait at the reception first.」Clown-san said, turning his eyes to his work desk.

「…You’re not trying to run away, are you?」

「Why must you do that paperwork now?」

Ria and Rose asked, turning a sharp eye towards him.

Apparently, they’ve lost faith in him because of the overly unfair game.

「I-It’s paperwork that I have to take care of as soon as possible!」

Clown-san made an excuse, with cold sweat appearing on his forehead, looking flustered.

「…Something smells fishy. If it’s just paperwork, wouldn’t it be okay to do it here and now. Why do you have to send us away?」

「It is exactly as Lilim says, though…」

Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai pointed out a very reasonable sharp point.

「…I-I’m sorry. To tell the truth, the document is a『confidential document』which cannot be seen by anyone else!」

Clown-san kept giving flimsy reasons.

(…Certainly, it’s a little strange.)

I feel a kind of impatience from him now.
