The Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button-Novel

33. Meeting at Summer Camp [1] – part 2

I took the map handed to me by the president in one hand and went out to the city of Orest.

Ria and Rose followed behind me in their uniform.

「Nee, Allen. Where are we right now?」

「Probably, just around the right of this road… Ah. This is the place.」

When I turned the road in front of me – there was a large mansion with a large garden.

The stone nameplate is engraved with『Arcstria』, which is no doubt the president’s house.

(Even so, it’s a magnificent mansion…)

Looking up at the dignified appearance of three stories above the ground,

「Ah, Allen-kun! Over here!」

In the middle of the garden, the president waved her hand while hopping and called out to me.

Behind her were the usual two student council members.

「President, Lilim-senpai, Ferris-senpai – Good morning」

「Un. Good morning, Allen-kun.」

「Good morning, Allen-kun! It’s a fine weather today as well!」

「…Nn …Morning.」

The president and Lilim-senpai acted as they always do, but Ferris-senpai was more down than usual.

Seeing from the point of rubbing her eyes while stretching, she seems to be a weak morning person just like Rose.

(But… Rose looks more sleepy because of her strong bed hair.)

And as I was comparing Rose and Ferris-senpai in that way,

「Nee nee, Allen-kun. What do you think of… onee-san’s casual clothes?」

The president asked me by pulling the sleeves of my clothes.

Dressed in a simple white dress, she looked a little more mature and fresh.

「I think it suits you very well.」

「Fufu, thank you.」

As soon as she was in good spirits, she walked into a large warehouse-like building.

「Everyoneー come over here!」

When I followed her into the building – there was a huge plane in there.

It seems that they are already ready to take off, and three pilots were sitting in the cockpit.

「TA-DA! It’s our private jet! Let’s fly to Veneria Island today!」

A huge private jet in a magnificent mansion – luxurious enough to be mistaken for one of the Five Wealthy Merchants.

「President, are you perhaps a noble?」

「Nnー it’s a little different? The Arcstria family has been in a key position in the 『government』 for generations. 『Rodis-Arcstria』 – my father’s name, have you ever heard of it?」

「I’ve seen that name in the newspaper several times…」

I don’t remember very clearly, but I’m sure he was a minister at some ministry.

「Now, we’re already ready to take off. Everyone, get on without being reserved!」

「The first flight after spring break! I’m excited!」

「Lilim, likes machines a lot…」

Then we went up after the president and climbed in the entrance.

Inside the private jet, it was like a luxurious room.

There was a sofa, a bed, a kitchen and a refrigerator.

After that, we enjoyed a relaxing flight, and a few hours later we arrived at a resort in the southern sea – Veneria Island.

Veneria Island.

It is one of the country’s most famous tourist attractions.

A large number of tourists flock from neighboring countries for the beautiful sea and sandy beaches.

And what greeted us as we got off the private jet was – the sight of the sea disappearing beyond the horizon.

「Uwaa, so pretty! Look, look, Allen! It’s so beautiful!」

「It’s amazing.」

「Un, the wind feels so nice.」

「Yoo-hoo!」

「Lilim, that’s for the mountains, though…」

While everyone spilled their thoughts – I was deeply impressed.

(This is… the sea…)

It was the first time seeing the sea, for me, who spent the entirety of my childhood in the inland of Goza Village. For me, who had been swinging my sword at Gran Swordsmanship Academy for a long time.

Blue clear water everywhere.

The sea breeze had a peculiar smell.

Pure white and beautiful sandy beach.

(Amazing. It’s all exactly like my mother said…! )

As I was impressed by seeing the sea for the first time,

「Well… Lilim, Ferris, and I, are going to clean up the villa ahead. We haven’t used it in a while, so it might be a little messy.」

For some reason, the president suggested going off on our own.

「In that case, we will also-」

「-No, it’s okay, it’s okay! Never mind! We’ll take care of the cleaning! It’s really okay! 」

The president immediately shook her head side to side.

「Ahaha! Because Sie’s room is always messyー! Previously, even her underwear… hegu!?」

Right when Lilim-senpai was about to blurt out something – the president’s formidably fast hand struck the back of her neck, and easily took away her consciousness.

「It has been claimed since long ago that words can lead to disaster, though…」

Ferris-san muttered as such, while repeatedly poking the unconscious Lilim-senpai.

In this series of exchanges, I somehow understood.

(…Perhaps, president doesn’t want us to see her scattered personal belongings)

That is most probably the case, seeing as how she personally wants to clean it up instead of ordering the employees.

「-Ahem. Anyway! We will go clean the villa a little! As for Allen-kun and rest… let’s see. Can you go kill some time at the『ocean house』?」

「U-Understood.」

Then the three of us headed to the nearby ocean house.

A few minutes after walking along the beautiful sandy beach, I saw a very huge ocean house in front.

「Oh, this must be it.」

「Quite the huge ocean house. There are a lot of customers too!」

「It’s very crowded.」

It was a wooden ocean house that seemed to have combined three average houses.

In the right half of the store, meals such as yakisoba and curry rice are sold.

Whereas in the left half, there was a small line of playing items such as beach balls and simple inflatable boats.

(Un, if there are so many different things, I think we’ll be able to kill enough time.)

Then, as we walked into the shop, Ria reacted to a certain something.

「W-Watermelon split…?」

At the end of her line of sight was the『Watermelon Split Set』, which included a watermelon, a stick, and a blindfold.

Rose added a commentary as usual.

「It’s a traditional game of this country. You try to smash the watermelon while wearing a blindfold.」

「I-Is that fun…?」

There seems to be no culture of watermelon splitting in Vesteria, as Ria was tilting her head curiously.

「Ahaha, maybe it would be fun to try it later.」

So, as we were enjoying looking at the various products, the old man who was in front of us – suddenly slashed at Ria.

「Look out, Ria!」

「Kyaa!?」

I hugged her with my right hand and pulled out my sword with my left hand – and somehow managed to defend the assassin’s blade.

「Guh, you brat… Get out of the way…」

「…A sword cane? Just who are you?」

This is different from a random attack.

There was a clear intent to kill Ria.

And then,

「Haa, like I said… We should’ve just attacked all of them, instead of employing surprise tactics…」

「Princess Ria. I have no personal resentment towards you, but you will have to die here for the sake of the country.」

All the customers in this shop surrounded us with a sword.

(Forty, no… it’s probably more than 50…)

We seem to have gotten caught up in a troublesome thing at the very beginning of our summer vacation.
