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

215. Entrance Exam and Valentines Day [12]

February 7th.

A week before Valentine’s Day, Sie Arcstria was lying down on the desk in the student council room, and sighed loudly.

「Haa…」

The time was 4 p.m.

It was the end of the classes at Thousand Blade Academy, and all the students were undergoing their club activities.

From the schoolyard, the voice of the practice-swing club echoed, and the warm evening glow of sunset poured filtering in through the window.

(Uh, what should I do…? There’s only a week left.)

Sie’s heart was burning with impatience as she messed with her beautiful black hair with her fingers.

In preparation for『Valentine’s Day』, she tried to get to know Allen Rodore’s favorite chocolate indirectly, but…

The moment her eyes meet his, her head goes blank and she hasn’t even been able to talk straight lately.

「Haa…」

The moment she was feeling disappointed with her weak-mindedness, and heaved her umpteenth sigh,

「Sia, what the hell are you doing!?」

「You can’t move forward if you just keep worrying about your troubles though!」

Lilim and Ferris said passionately and tried to inspire the weak-kneed Sie.

However,

「I am not really worrying about anything…」

Their words couldn’t reach her, whose mind was full of thoughts about Allen.

「It’s about time.」- Lilim and Ferris, who decided so, exchanged glances with each other and nodded at the same time.

「Fuu, It’s no use hiding it. You like Allen-kun, right?」

「It was obvious since a long time ago though…」

The moment they said that grinningly,

「W-W-W-What are you talking about?」

Sie stood up quickly, her face flushing deep red.

「It’s okay, we won’t tell anyone… Be honest and tell us your true feelings. Perhaps we can be of help to you, right?」

「We are『love pros』who have read up on tons of love books. I’m sure we can help you in someway though…」

「Y-You will help me?」

Hearing the whispers of the devil, Sie’s heart shook.

(She took the bait!)

(Only one more push though…!)

Lilim and Ferris put on an exceedingly super friendly smile, in their minds thinking,「We can’t miss this opportunity.」

「Of course! We’ll do anything for our best friend!」

「We’ll do everything we can to help you though…!」

Sie, who received a reassuring hand from her childhood friends–

(Currently, all the roads are closed off to me. Now I am in a situation where even talking to Allen-kun is difficult…. At this rate, things will only get worse…)

After thinking enough about it, she firmly resolved herself.

「As you two say, I like Allen-kun!」

She shouted loudly, her white skin flushing red all the way to her ears.

「Fuu, you finally admitted it. All right then, from this point on, we’ll start the『Capture Allen-kun Strategy』!」

Lilim declared high-spiritedly, and Ferris sounded the crackers she had hidden.

Then the three of them quickly sat down in their usual seats and started the strategy meeting.

「Naa, Sie. I just want to ask you… What’s up with that suspicious behaviour recently?」

「When Allen-kun is in sight, you blatantly avert your gaze, and if he gets close, you try to get away from him. Even if he tries to take control of the situation and calls out to you, you don’t respond properly. If you keep doing this, the distance between the two of you will only keep increasing though…」

「Umm… W-Well, that is…」

Sie, who received sharp points from the two, responded with a downcast look.

「I-I am too conscious of it and so I can’t speak well…」

「I see. As expected, this seems to be quite『severe』」

「Sie’s love experience is totally zero. A maiden among maiden, so I guess it can’t really be helped though…」

「「「……」」」

As an indescribable silence loomed, Lilim and Ferris stood up at the same time as though it was arranged beforehand.

「It may be a little cruel, but… Let me just say this one thing clearly. Although he doesn’t seem to be aware of it, Allen-kun’s popularity is very high. He has numerous charms. A kind face, a bright and gentle personality, and the overwhelming power of『national strength class』. No girl would let him slip away.」

「If Sie doesn’t take any proactive action, and this keeps going on… Allen-kun will definitely be taken by someone else.」

Sie, who was dropped with a ruthless verdict by Lilim and Ferris, the self-proclaimed『love pros』,

「……」

Gasped as her face turned white as a sheet.
