Chapter 233 - Cherin, the Land of Sakura and Seven Holy Sword [4] (2/2)

As I called out to cheer her up,

「……………I’ll do my best.」

Rose said so, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

「Okay. Let’s go right away, shall we?」

「Yes, let’s go!」

「…………Let’s go.」

Then we walked to the mansion of House Arcstria, the meeting point.

On the way, the topic about the training camp destination naturally came up.

「I’m looking forward to seeing Cherin, the Land of Sakura…」

「Fufu, that’s right. By the way, Cherin’s specialty is “Sakura mochi”! Let’s eat to our stomach’s fill, Allen.」

「A-Aa… I-I’ll do my best!」

Our spring training camp destination is Cherin, the Land of Sakura.

It is a small country located on the edge of one of the Five Major Powers, Polyesta Federation.

A beautiful solitary island with sakura blossoms in full bloom all year round, making it one of the world’s leading tourist destinations.

In particular, “Hundred Million Year Sakura Blossom” which is considered a national treasure, is so famous that it even appears in textbooks. It is apparently a super huge sakura tree that bloomed over “billions of years” ago.

(Billions of years huh… That makes it the “same age” as me…)

As I was feeling something similar to “camaraderie”,

「……That’s… a good place. Really beautiful… sakura blossoms bloom…」

Rose, who was hiding her eyes from the morning sun, said while pausing intermittently.

「Oh, have you ever been there, Rose?」

Judging by her tone, it was as thought she had seen the actual sakura blossoms.

「………That’s where I was born.」

「I-Is that so!?」

「That’s the first time I’ve heard of that!」

I always thought Rose was born in the Ringard Imperial Kingdom.

「Nn, I haven’t told you…? Let’s see… I left when I was ten years old, so it will be the first time in five years that I am returning there. But, I just want you to be careful…. Over there… my…… fuwaa…」

Rose broke off the story and fell silent.

She seems to be desperately fighting with the assailing sleepiness.

(“Over there, my” is what she said…)

I am a little worried about what she was about to say after that, but I can’t force her when she is in this state.

Let’s listen to the rest of the story after she completely wakes up.

「W-What should we do, Allen? At this rate, she might really fall asleep right here.」

「Let’s see… Rose, let’s walk a little faster. Can you keep up?」

When I asked her that while gently shaking her shoulder,

「…………Yeah.」

She nodded and increased her waking pace slightly.

And we went straight towards Arcstria mansion, where the president and senpais were waiting.
