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

408. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [178]

We escaped from Cherin and contacted Tenshi-sama and Rodis-san using the communication terminal installed on the glider.

Protected by a joint unit of escorts under the direct control of Tenshi-sama and private soldiers of House Arcstria, we managed to return to the Ringuard Imperial Kingdom safely.

After returning, all of us were immediately taken to a large hospital and urgently hospitalized.

Since there was an “unknown poison user” among the enemy, we received a thorough examination with incredibly advanced-looking medical equipment, treatment from an excellent recovery-type soul dress user, and a medical interview with a renowned doctor.

We were assigned a large room with six beds.

At first, the plan was to assign private rooms to each of us, but…

“Rose-san is a very strong-hearted person, but we can’t leave her to mourn her loss alone,” the president said, and talked it over with the hospital to assign us to a large room instead.

The time was about 9pm.

I received special permission to go out. I went to a store near the hospital to buy apples, juice, candies and such that would distract everyone.

「This and this… and that… well, maybe I should buy this too.」

Since I had little money on hand, I couldn’t buy anything extravagant, but… I’m sure it’s still better than nothing.

「This should be enough.」

I quickly paid the bill for the items and returned to the hospital room where Ria and the others were waiting.

「I’m back. I bought a lot of fruits and so on.」

Ria and the others were talking while sitting on the bed, wearing their blue hospital gown.

「Thank you, Allen.」

「Sorry to bother you.」

Ria and Rose smile softly.

「Thank you, Allen-kun. It should help us.」

「The hospital meals are very bland… I miss the junk taste of candy!」

「I am deeply grateful, though…!」

The president expressed her gratitude, while Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai’s eyes gleamed brilliantly.

「It’s nothing. I’m really glad that everyone seems to be doing fine.」

When we first arrived in Ringuard, Ria and the others were in a state of severe exhaustion that they could not stand on their own.

Mental fatigue seems to have been quite great too, but the biggest problem was significant exhaustion of spiritual power.

For several hours after leaving Cherin, we continued to fly the gliders at maximum output in order to escape from Von and Deal with certainty.

(Those machines originally have bad fuel consumption, and simply flying normally consumes a lot of spiritual power, after all…)

By continuing to operate such a “big eater” at the maximum speed, Ria and the others experienced a case of serious “spiritual power deficiency”.

On the other hand, I was so energetic that I myself was surprised.

My spiritual power was recovering steadily at a speed far exceeding the spiritual power consumed by the glider.

(I wonder what it means…)

I feel two huge “forces” wriggling in the depths of my chest.

One is Zeon’s evil power.

The other is a mysterious holy power.

The two seemed to be in a fierce battle with each other inside me.

I decided to think about this power after everything else had settled down.
