Chirping chirping.

I seemed to hear the sound of birds chirping early in the morning. I opened my eyes.

"Ah, it’s a strange ceiling again...."I sighed.

Sitting up, I looked around and found that it was very different from the houses in Lulite. It was surrounded by pure wooden buildings, and my bed was on the ground. I looked out the window. I felt that the temperature now should be summer. , but there is no green at all outside the house.

I lowered my head and thought about what happened last night, as well as the memories that suddenly appeared just now, the island country in the far east, the small village in the mountains, the shrine in the village, and the families living in the shrine. In the shrine lived my father and Three siblings, when I think back on the memories of my father and my sister

"call————"The wooden door was opened, and the visitor was a little surprised to see that I was already up.

"Brother, breakfast is ready"

"Well, I understand, please, Sakura."I smiled and responded to the visitor.

"Then I'll go out first." After saying that, the person stood up, closed the door and left.

From the moment I saw the person, I was sure that that person was the person I met before who taught me sword skills. Although he looked too old. She's small, and the miko costume she's wearing is different. She seems a lot smaller, but I'm still sure that it's her.

"Forget it, get up first."I looked around and found clothes and a silver sword beside the bed.

"The sword is mine, yes, but these clothes? It's not what I was wearing before....All you brought here was the sword, this ring, and the windbreaker? , I’m not surprised that this ring seems to be something extraordinary, but this windbreaker? Why is your body getting bigger?"

After that, I sat in front of the mirror and looked at myself. My appearance didn't change much, but my hair turned cherry color.

"Sigh~"

I gave up thinking, got up, got dressed, left my sword and windbreaker in the room, and then went to the side hall.

Walking on the boardwalk, I looked at these several connected houses.

"A shrine...Although it exists in my memory, it actually looks and feels different."

I came to the dining room, and there was a man sitting at the head of the table.

"good morning father"

""Hmm."

The man simply responded, and I didn't care and just sat there.

At this time, a hand on the side lifted the kitchen door curtain and came out.

"Ah, good morning, brother."The visitor greeted me gently.

I looked over and replied with a smile on my face:

"Good morning, Sakura."

This was the first time I looked at her head-on. Her long pink hair hung down to her thighs. The bangs on her forehead were fluttering back and forth as she walked. Her blue eyes looked very watery, as if they could drip water. She was wearing white clothes. Wearing a cherry-colored miko uniform, she was holding a tray with two bowls of porridge on it.

When she walked past me, I seemed to smell the aroma of her body, a very light but fragrant smell.

"This is...the smell of cherry blossoms..."

"Well, brother, did you say anything?"

"No, don't worry...."

After I sat down, Sakura placed the porridge in front of my father and me and said:

"I'm going to take care of Rin first, please take it easy."

"Sakura, where is your breakfast?"I asked Sakura who was about to leave.

"Don't worry, brother, I will eat it later."Sakura responded with a smile and left the room.

After that, my father and I were the only ones left at the dining table, falling into endless silence, with only the sound of eating. Soon, my father and I finished breakfast together.

"Yue, I have something to do today and may come back very late. You three should stay at home and don't run around."The father who walked to the door did not look back, but only heard a majestic voice.

"Um."I just responded simply, but my father was nowhere to be seen.

"If they are really cold enough, let’s check on Sakura and Rin first."After washing the dishes, I went to the room next to my room. There was only a corridor between the two rooms.

The person on the bed sat up when he saw me coming in.

"Ah, good morning, brother...ahem.."

"Good morning, Rin. You don't have to force yourself to get up. How are you today?"

"Well, I feel fine today."

In front of me is a girl who is one size smaller than Sakura. She has short pink hair, a face that is 90% similar to Sakura's, and is wearing a white kimono. The biggest difference between the two is that Rin's skin looks sick. of white

‘Brother, you are here."Sakura's voice came from behind me.

"Well, have you both had breakfast?"

"Well, I've eaten them all"

"Today, my father said that he would be back very late because he had something to do. There are only three of us at home today."

"Yeah." Sakura replied without seeming to care.

"Ahem."There was a coughing sound next to me.

"Rin, please lie down and rest."

Sakura and I helped Rin lie down. Sakura looked very anxious. I also had a strange feeling watching this scene. It seemed like pain and worry. This feeling was not consistent with the dissatisfaction with Alice and Seluka. It's so similar, that feeling of blood and milk blending together makes me feel very distressed when I look at the two people in front of me.

"Ahem, it's okay, it's always been like this, just take a little rest and you'll be fine."She seemed to want to reassure me and Sakura, but her pale face betrayed her.

"Rin, don't worry, I will definitely take you to the big city of Shinano and find the best doctor to cure you."I tried to hide my sadness and said with a smile.

"Yes, Rin, my brother and I will definitely find a way to cure you. Sakura was also trying to comfort her.

Rin turned to look at the bare trees outside the window and murmured:

"Ah, it’s almost summer, and I still haven’t seen the cherry blossoms....."

Sakura was very disappointed when she heard this, and I also remembered that what Sakura and Rin loved most was viewing cherry blossoms. At this time in the past, the three siblings were happiest sitting under the cherry blossom tree, eating bento made by Sakura, and admiring the cherry blossoms.

I feel a little unbearable when I look at the lost sisters.

"If you want to see cherry blossoms, okay, I’ll go find them!"

"Maybe there will be cherry blossoms blooming in the mountains. Don’t worry, I will find a way to bring back a whole pack of cherry blossom petals!"

Both of them were obviously stunned for a moment when they heard my words.

"Brother! ?"

"Ahem...Brother, no need...Ahem"

"Don't worry, I can definitely find it."

After that, I got up and left the room. Behind me came the sound of running and Sakura:

"Brother, Sir, Brother! Wait a minute, you will be punished if your father discovers you if you go out casually! Moreover, the village has been in drought for almost two months. There will be no cherry blossoms. Besides, there are ferocious beasts and maybe ghouls outside. It is too dangerous to go out! It’s better not to go! As for the cherry blossoms, you’ll still have a chance to see them in the future!"

"Don't worry, it's okay. You should know my strength. Even if I encounter those things that I can't defeat, won't I run away?"

"But...."

"No but, don't worry, leave it to me, and my father will be back very late today and he won't be discovered."I touched Sakura's head and put my face close to her. Sakura lowered her head and answered quietly:

"Um....All right."

I went back to my room and changed into clothes that were easy to move around, put on a windbreaker, brought a sachet specially made by the shrine to hide the smell, and held a silver sword in my hand.

"Then please be careful on the road, brother."Sakura, who was standing at the door of the shrine to see him off, still looked worried but still managed to smile.

"Don't worry, take good care of Rin, I'll be back soon."I responded with a smile and left the shrine with Sakura watching.

Walking on the mountain road, I looked down and saw the place where we live, Yae Village, a small and unremarkable mountain village in the mountains of Shinano Province. This is the place where I live in my memory. Originally, this season should be surrounded by There are cherry blossoms in full bloom, but now there is almost no green. It has been dry here for almost two months.

I continued to walk on the mountain road, and the surroundings were still bare. I silently thought about everything in the village. Droughts often occurred here a long time ago, and the way to solve the drought was to sacrifice.

The only shrine in the village is the Yae Shrine where I live. In this not-rich mountain village, there is a relatively gorgeous shrine. This is obviously abnormal. The shrine built at the highest point of the village seems to be talking about its role in the village. status.

I know that if a sacrificial ceremony is to be held, it must be held on a high platform in the village, and the person who presides over it must be......The content of the sacrifice is to offer a pure girl to the fox god believed in in the village. I heard that after each sacrifice, there will be a heavy rain immediately, and there will be no drought for many years after that. Although I do not believe in gods. , but a god who needs sacrifices to fulfill his wishes will definitely not be a good god.

"Listening to the legends in the village, I feel more like a fire god than a fox god. It's not even noon yet, and the sun is too poisonous....."I wiped off the beads on my head and complained at the same time, but my footsteps never stopped. Thanks to the long period of study and exercise, I would not encounter any trouble when traveling in the wild.

After walking all morning, although I tried my best to find places with traces of water sources, I still couldn't find cherry blossoms. It would be better to say that there was no green color at all. The sun was too strong at noon. I found a shady place to rest and took out the cherry blossoms for me. rice balls and water.

My family, which has a high status in the village, is not very short of water compared to others, but other families are having a hard time. It seems that two families fought over water yesterday.....I looked up at the cloudless sky and lamented the injustice in the world.

I took out Sakura's rice ball, which was already cold. I took a bite. The ingredients in it were only rice and a little salt, but for some reason I tasted the fragrance of cherry blossoms. I finished my lunch with a smile. I once tried to use sacred Magic to restore physical strength, but failed because there is no sacred power here....The Stacia Window can't be opened either, but I can see it in my mind! In addition, I found that the air here seems to contain another kind of power. I have no choice but to wait in the shade here for the sun to go down and recover my strength naturally......

I set off again in the afternoon, but still couldn’t find the cherry blossoms.......

"What should we do? We agreed that Sakura and Rin would bring a whole package of cherry blossoms, but now....."I looked at the mountains in the distance and sighed with my eyebrows raised.

"The afternoon is almost halfway over. If I don’t go back, I might not be able to get home before my father....."But after thinking about it, my two sisters decided to move on.

"We are already here, so let’s add a little more fuel. If you haven’t climbed over this mountain yet,....Let’s talk about it then."I tidied up my clothes and set off again.

The ideal is plump, the reality is skinny. When I climbed over the mountain, what I saw was still bare....

"Sure enough, I have no choice but to go back...."I felt a little depressed, thinking that I had failed my two younger sisters. Just as I was about to go back, I heard someone coming from the side:"Ahhhh!! Help. Help!!!""

"Cry for help! ? In a place like this?"

I touched the silver sword on my waist and cautiously approached the source of the sound.

"Ah! No! No! Don't come over here!!"

I hid behind a big rock and peeked out a little. I saw a giant bear attacking people. One was already lying on the ground and his body was in a state of disgrace. The other was held in the mouth by the giant bear and seemed to be gone. breath, the remaining person was forced to the corner on the lower right side of the boulder, and the shout came from this person.

Just when I was considering whether to save people, the giant bear turned around, and I saw The other half of its body is covered with purple crystals, which glow pink under the sunlight and look very coquettish.

"That...that's a monster!!!"
