191. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [42]

The situation immediately took a turn for the worse because the president was taken hostage.

「Gregor, you!」

「Ooh, scary scary… Don’t make such a scary face.」

I glared at Gregor, who conducted the worst of the worst acts as a swordsman. He just smiled with an uncaring attitude.

(Shit, what do I do?)

From here to Gregor, it’s about ten meters.

(I can cut him down in one second, but…)

The same is true for him.

In a second, he will surely be able to kill the president.

「…Let go of the president. This is a duel between me and you!」

「Hmm, aren’t you misunderstanding something? This is a battle where I,『one person』, took on Allen Rodore and Sie Arcstria,『two people』, right? One-vs-Two – It’s an unfair battle from the start, and it’s a standard tactic to aim for the weak one first.」

This is a one-vs-two match from the start, and this is by no means taking a hostage – Hiding behind sophistry, Gregor laughed with his ugliness spilling out.

「I see. Did God say,『Take a hostage』…?」

When I said that,

「S-Shut up… Shut up, shut up, shut up! Someone like you shouldn’t speak about God! This is my own arbitrary decision – God’s will is not involved at all! God, who is sacred and holy and pure and perfect… Will never direct such a cowardly means!」he screamed, pulling on his hair.

No matter how much sophism he brings up, even he understands that this is just taking a hostage.

「Haha… D-Don’t get me wrong, you idiot… I am in control of this situation!」

Gregor roared and pushed the tip of the broken ash sword towards the president’s neck.

「S-Stop!」

As I took a step forward without thinking,

「D-Don’t move! Don’t you care about this woman’s life?」

He took a step back with a frightened expression, while threatening.

「……」

「…Yes, that’s right. Don’t move from there, you inhuman monster. If you move even one step without my permission… At that moment, I will kill this woman right away.」

While taking full advantage of the hostage, Gregor demanded, in an indifferent manner.

「First of all, throw away that black sword! While you’re at it, put away the evil darkness, too. I don’t wanna see even a little bit of that. If I see even a strange movement in your spiritual power, I’ll cut this woman’s neck right at that moment!」

「…Aa, I got it.」

And when I tried to let go of the Black Sword,

「Wait!」

A sharp voice flew.

「P-President?」

「…Allen-kun. Don’t care about me, just defeat Gregor.」

「「Wha!?」」

Gregor and I both widened our eyes at the thing the president uttered.

「W-What are you saying, president!?」

「Think this through calmly, okay? I broke Numero’s spirit and took down one of the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle. If I could do this with my own life, isn’t that enough of an achievement? And above all… I don’t want you to die.」she said. smiling.

「D-Don’t be silly! I’ll kill you, shitty woman!」

When Gregor swung his sword in a rage – blood slightly oozed out of the president’s white skin, trickling down her neck in a straight line.

「…Ara, are you not going to kill me? No, you can’t kill me, can you? The moment you stab me, you’ll be instantly killed by Allen-kun.」

「Guh…」

She most likely hit the bullseye.

He stiffened, his bloodshot eyes filled with hatred.

「Allen-kun, this is my last selfish request. Defeat Gregor and return to the Ringard safely with everyone. Will you promise me?」

The president said, putting on her usual gentle and soft smile.

Looking closer, her hands were slightly trembling.

She suppressed the fear of death with her steel-like mental strength, barely putting on a brave front.

It’s all just to make sure I wouldn’t worry.

Truly… such a strong and kind person.

「…Understood. I promise.」
