chapter 39

Several days later .

“With this, the transaction is complete . ”

She smiled while tampering with her smartphone .

“The money in the account is 1 . 5 billion, certainly, it has been deposited . ”

I sighed after I finished putting the swords in a golf bag .

“What’s wrong? Lela Sakaguchi? You even have bags under your eyes . ”

“It’s just I haven’t slept much… These past several days I have been going back and forth to the Vatican and when I return to Japan I have this negotiation . ”

“Oh, it must be rough . ”

“Well, I’m going to return now . ”

——–The next day’s morning after the Nine-Tails was defeated by Morishita Daiki .

The moment I had met Morishita Daiki at school and abduct him to the roof .

Then, a sudden call from Vatican came .

“Haa!? Italy…It’s a sudden summoning to the Vatican!? However, I have important business today!?”

“As you’re aware, the Dominions mass production… Our relationship with the United States has rapidly deteriorated… The Dominions, Crusaders and the Dark Burial division are included, everyone of the main forces are to be in the emergence meeting . ”

“Like I care! Today is the most important event of my life, what if I do poorly!?”

“Lela-sama… That’s the wishes of the Vatican . If you are absent from the meeting… It will be taken as an act of rebellion to the Vatican . ”

I was silent for a bit, and then asked the Vatican’s messenger .

“Is there nothing to be done? I not being there…”

“Participation of all military units . That’s the Vatican’s wish . ”

I was in thought, again .

Probably, If I’m absent here… My place with the church will be rocky .

This time it’s probably that level of emergency .

“I understand . However, after it’s done I can immediately return, right?”

“Yes, you’ll be free after it . ”

And then I went to the Vatican and returned back at midnight .

After the call ended another one came from Abeno Kaguya a talk about a negotiation .

The negotiations finished with Abeno Kaguya and the stolen goods were handed over to a Vatican’s messenger .

After that 2 hours passed and the sweet potatoes were able to be done around the time of the early morning .

The suite which I live in also has a simple kitchen .

Though, going empty handed to the reunion… Rather, what should I do, I’m thinking .

Ah, that’s right . I’ll bring Darjeeling tea in a flask

Fufu . I wonder what kind of face he’ll make when he takes a bite of the sweet potato .

Just imagining it makes my cheeks loose .

That’s that .

Today, me and him on the rooftop… We’ll talk about the old times with sweets and jokes .

And, there’s also something important we need to talk about .

“If I’m born again… Will you make me your bride?”

The promise of a children’s heart on that distant day .

He certainly said “Aah, I promise” at that time .

Then… I also have a lot of things to think about for the future .

And it’s 7 a . m .

I stuffed the potatoes and darjeeling tea flask into my bag .

The morning’s air was refreshing more than usual and the flowers were looking vivid .

When I arrived at the classroom I immediately looked towards his seat .

“Well… I did come… quickly . ”

Right now it’s 7:20 .

Of course, I’m the first one here… There’s nobody else in the classroom .

I think I might’ve been too happy however… As I thought, it’s impossible for me to not be happy .

It became 8 o’clock and everyone was slowly arriving and getting to sit on their chairs .

Then it became 8:20 and mostly everyone was in their seats .

And then—- 8:30 .

—The attendance time has passed and he still didn’t appear .

And, I heard the boys loudly gossipping near my ears .

“It’s serious! I saw it myself!”

“Abeno-senpai was eating with Morishita in the high class coffee lounge and then they sneaked in somewhere! The partner is Abeno Kaguya! There’s no way Morishita is with her!”

“No, but . Those two were seen eating together, though!? The unlikely might be true?”

“Now that you say it…”

And, I was about to spit .

He answered “Aah . I promise . ” to my question “If I’m born again… Will you make me your bride?” .

That’s why, I believe that he won’t cajole with the likes of Abeno Kaguya .

“However… Why didn’t he come to school, really?”

And then time passed and lunch break came .

The class became a lot noisy and I looked towards the window .

“Oi, seriously?”

“Uwaa…”

The boys were looking at the school route with a touching expression .

“Wait a moment, you lot! What are you talking about… . Eh…”

Despite being late and coming at school while it’s lunch break a man and woman were walking carefree towards this place .

That’s right, they were walking on the school route with hands holding like lovers Abeno Kaguya—

And that guy .

As soon as he entered the classroom, I glared at him with dissatisfaction and then talked to him .

“Wait a moment, you! I have something important to talk with you so can you follow me to the roof?”

I swear this country will kill me faster than I expected in the first place .

Bloody pollution and cold weather gave me a cold, allrighty .
