Chapter 246 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [17] (2/2)
「Fufufu, naive. First come, first serve!」
「Kuh, I’m not going to lose!」
The two of them started competing, and dug into the lined up food.
Whereas Rose and Ferris-senpai – the “weak in the morning duo” – were in something like a similar wavelength.
「The sakura blossoms are beautiful.」
「I can keep watching it forever though…」
The two took a bite of their sandwiches while looking up at the sakura blossoms.
I took a sip of my warm tea while watching such a pleasant scene.
(Aa, it’s so peaceful.)
I wonder if it’s a “reward” for overcoming a tumultuous year.
For the past month or so, I have been spending very calm and quiet days.
(But man, I’m at my limit.)
I haven’t swung my sword today.
(Considering the time difference from Ringard Imperial Kingdom to Cherin, it has been more than ten hours.)
I have been holding back from swinging with my willpower.
To put it bluntly, this is an abnormal situation.
The “desire to swing” pulsed through my veins, and I might unsheathe my sword unconsciously if I lost focus for even a moment.
(But that would be bad…)
If I was the only one who was swinging while everyone else was fully enjoying the sakura blossom viewing… I will seem crazy.
“Not being able to read the mood” wouldn’t excuse me from it.
And it would even become a nuisance for other sakura blossom viewers.
(But what should I do about this?)
My body is seeking to swing.
No, maybe swinging is seeking for me.
(Fuu… Calm down, calm down… In times like this, think about something other than swinging…)
As I exhaled greatly, my eyes naturally shifted to the Hundred Million Year Sakura that stood towering over all else in front of me.
(…It’s really beautiful.)
When I looked at the bright sakura blossom petals fluttering down from the heavens, my desire to swing gradually subsided.
And as I was enjoying the sakura blossoms and took a sip of the warm tea,
「Nee, Allen-kun. Can I sit next to you?」
From my left, the president asked adorably with her head tilted.
