Allison & Lillia

Allison to Lillia ep.1 (+7)

Year 3287 of the World Calendar.

I planned on spending the summer break with my favorite pastime:

reading books at the dormitory of the Lowe Sneum Memorial Upper School.

Reading to my heart's content.

Wil, can we barge in?

Oh, makeup classes, sir?

Yes. Oh, that's right! Can you help out?

Okay.

Hey guys! Mr.Wil Schultz from fifth grade will be your teacher for today!

Is this upperclassman serving detention, too?

No way! His academic grades are so good, it wouldn't be a surprise if he skipped grades.

Wow!

You guys better extend your greetings.

It's a pleasure.

Makeup classes for first year students is geography, right?

This is the continent which we live in.

It's divided in the middle by the Lutoni River and the Central Mountains.

To the east is our country, The Roxcheanouk Union, better known as Roxche.

And to the west lies...

The evil empire!

What is the official name?

The United Kingdom of Bezel and Iltoi, also known as Sous-Beil.

Correct. Roxche and Sous-Beil have a long history of war,

feuding with each other for over one hundred and thirty years.

Then again, as you all know, the two countries have been in a cease-fire for the past ten years.

Why can't they get along with each other?

They should try to make friends just like classmates would.

That would be quite difficult.

The reason being is that both countries claim they are the ancestors to man.

Which country was man born in?

Which country has a longer history?

Which country can claim first rights?

Both countries think they are correct.

Sir, who do you think is right?

Well...

What is it?

The insignia of the Arrow of Theron!

It's the Roxche Air Force!

Wow! It's for real!

Hey, let's go!

Yeah!

Hey, watch out for the propeller!

It's a blonde... girl.

Long time no see, Wil.

Allison...

How have you been?

The second I saw her smile...

I had the feeling that my plans for the summer were suddenly going to change.

It's been six months since we last met.

Right, although I didn't expect you to come in a plane.

The military provided it as my reward for being a role model.

Would you believe me if I said so?

Of course not.

I'm stationed at a unit which transports airplanes.

Didn't I mention it in my letter?

Yeah, last fall. On the twenty-fourth line of your second letter in November.

I'm on a mission to transport that brand new training craft.

And since I was going to fly over this area...

They brought you down here.

I flew it down here, to be precise.

How have you been?

So-so, I guess.

I've been reading books at the library and taking it easy.

What about you, Allison?

Less than so-so.

Although it's fun to be able to fly the skies...

...I'm still not permitted to pilot a fighter plane.

By the way! I have interesting news to tell you.

I received a love letter the other day!

Huh.

Huh? Is that all you have to say?

Well, no... that is...

I'm going to tell you the rest of the story, since it's interesting.

Guess what? The sender was someone from Sous-Beil.

Eh? From the west?

Yeah. Six months ago, there was this joint rescue drill.

I asked to tag along,

where a young second lieutenant from Sous-Beil's air force introduced himself to me.

Hello. If you don't mind, would you like to have some tea with me?

I am here as a pilot!

And what happened?

He apologized for his rudeness and sent me a letter afterwards.

It said: "I would like to officially go out with you and exchange letters."

In the end, I sent him a reply and declined his offer in a way as to not offend him.

Are you surprised?

Yeah, I am.

Right?

Not only that, I'm impressed.

Impressed?

To reach up to such levels...

Levels?

For soldiers of both sides to associate with each other so casually...

What?

Not just military issues, but sending letters as well?

At least you could have replied you were okay on exchanging letters, Allison!

Is there anything else to report?

Um... I went to Kaashi last month.

Last month? Then, you went to the Kaashi Festival, you lucky guy!

Well, I didn't go there to have fun, but to participate in a shooting contest.

Wil? Why?

During class, I was told I had potential. They then forced me to join the shooting club.

After undergoing training, I became the school representative.

Not only that...

And, how did you fare?

I placed second.

What? That's amazing, Wil! Second place?

Hey, don't stand up! It's dangerous!

What a surprise!

How come you didn't tell me sooner?

Well, it would seem like I was trying to brag.

Wil, you have to compliment yourself more often!

All right. From now on, I'm going to brag about you when you're with me!

Thanks.

Come to think of it, you're quite suited for guns, Wil.

As the saying goes: "Carefree people are the best shooters."

You're the twenty-seventh person to say that, Allison.

Are you keeping count?

No, I just remember it.

Oh, there's that old man.

An acquaintance of yours?

No, he roams around this place every day.

He's infamous for soliciting students and making them listen to his strange tales.

Strange?

For example, he was formerly employed as a butler to a royal family,

and he used to own a diamond mine.

That's why everyone calls him "Old Crackpot."

Howdy! You're the brilliant student from the upper school who diligently studies all the time.

And what a beautiful young lady with blonde hair!

I was taking a walk and became tired.

Um... I'm sorry, but can you take me back home?

Sure!

Eh?

You were going to do it anyway, right Wil?

Since you're not the type to turn down people's requests.

It's just right over there.

I won't interfere with your date.

No, it's not that.

Wil!

Ah, what a safe driver you are.

I'm impressed.

Then again, you're no match for me.

It's not only his driving.

He has excellent grades, he's a bookworm, and a sharpshooter, too!

He was runner-up at the shooting contest in Kaashi!

That's incredible.

Still, you couldn't beat me back when I was young.

Since I won four times.

Amazing!

If he's telling the truth, you lose, Wil.

You really saved me.

Thanks a lot.

You're welcome.

Then, we'll see you again.

Grandpa, where were you all this time?

Sorry, sorry.

If you can't make your way back, don't wander off so far!

Well, they were kind enough to take me back home today.

Oh, sorry for the trouble.

I bet he rudely asked you to take him home.

No.

Yes.

This is Norma, my nagging housekeeper.

"Nagging" is uncalled for.

Well, I'm off to town for shopping.

I prepared some tea, so please be our guests and stay as long as you like.

Delicious!

This is the first time I tasted something as wonderful as this!

Ouch!

You're right! It's delicious!
