Chapter 260 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [31] (2/2)

「This is the one from when we went to Ringard Imperial Kingdom a few years ago. I think it was called the… “Merchant Town” Drestia? There was a festival called “Daido Commercial Festival” going on around the time we arrived, and it was very crowded.」

Bacchus-san explained with a hint of nostalgia.

Around April last year, I went to the Daido Commercial Festival together with Ria and Rose.

(Speaking of which, at that time… I remember Rose saying, “I’ve been here with my grandfather a long time ago”.)

When I recalled the conversation from about a year ago, Bacchus-san turned the page again.

「Next is… Oh, how nostalgic! This is when Rose was four years old, and she was feeling down after wetting her bed!」

It was a picture of Rose’s tiny back who looked at the children’s futon hung on a clothesline.

If you look closer, there was a small “puddle” in the dried up futon.

「She said “I’m not afraid of ghosts!”. So I read her my “special ghost story” late at night. And the result is as you can see. I remember very well that she murmured “I failed” frustratedly!」

Bacchus-san happily spoke about Rose’s childhood stories.

Apparently, she has been weak to horror-related things since she was a child.

While we were looking at Rose’s picture, the living room door rattled open and she came in holding a number of teacups on a tray.

「I’m sorry, everyone. I was a little… late!」

The old album in Bacchus-san’s hand, the photos on it, and us looking at it.

One by one her mind processed the information, and her cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

Turning red to her ears,

「W-W-W-What are you doing?!!」

She shouted loudly.
