Chapter 233 - Cherin, the Land of Sakura and Seven Holy Sword [4] (1/2)

233. Cherin, the Land of Sakura and Seven Holy Sword [4]

One month from March 1st to 31st is the spring holiday period of Thousand Blade Academy.

(Spring break, summer break, are precious long holidays that only come around twice a year. I have to make good use of it….)

For the past one year.

By chance, I’ve crushed a number of schemes and operations of the Black Organization.

Because of that, I am now in a position of my life being targeted by them.

I’m sure they will send more strong enemies in the future.

(I have to become stronger to protect my loved ones… Ria, Rose and everyone.)

In order to do so, unsparing training is still necessary.

(All right, let’s do it!)

March 1st.

After firing up my spirit, I immediately started swinging my sword during the activity period of the practice-swing club.

Even though it is spring break, club activities were carried out as usual.

「「「FU! HA! SEI!」」」

During the day, I swing my sword pleasantly with everyone.

After finishing the activities in the evening, I have a mock battle with Ria and Rose.

After that, I go to the vacant lot behind the dormitory and immerse myself in swinging alone under the moonlight.

And by the time midnight comes,

「Goodnight, Ria.」

「Yes. Goodnight, Allen.」

I go to sleep in a warm bed with Ria.

Almost all my time was poured towards “swordsmanship”, and the rigorous but fulfilling days lasted for about two weeks.

After that, I managed to overcome the fierce White Day, which can only be expressed as “tumultuous”… and it was finally March 15th.

The student council’s “Spring Camp” will be held for exactly one week from today.

The time is seven o’clock in the morning.

Ria and I met up with Rose in front of the main gate of Thousand Blade Academy.

「Good morning, Rose. The weather is nice today.」

「Morning, Rose. I am glad you were able to get up early in the morning.」

「Fuwaa………… Morning.」

She, who is especially weak in the morning, stretched her left hand slightly while yawning.

「A-Ahaha, you look sleepy.」

「You got up two hours earlier than on normal school days, so it’s no wonder…」

「…………Yeah.」

Rose nodded like a little child.

(One could never imagine that she is such a weak morning person judging from her usual dignified self, but…)

Being together for a year now, I got used to this “sleepy-state”.

「Rose. Hold on a little longer. As soon as we get on the plane, you’ll be able to sleep for a while.」
