Novel Bin Chapter 297 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [68]
「It’s a pleasant night, isn’t it? Can I join you?」
「Oh, it’s you, Allen. Sure.」
Rose’s eyes widened for a moment, and then she immediately smiled softly.
While enjoying the cool night breeze, Rose and I gazed at the Hundred Million Year Sakura.
「It’s really beautiful, isn’t it? I could keep watching it forever just like this.」
There was a considerable distance from where we were to the Hundred Million Year Sakura, but it was illuminated by artificial light, so I was able to see it sufficiently.
The base of the tree was probably crowded with many nighttime sakura blossom viewing visitors.
「Yes. That’s my most favorite flower in the whole world.」Rose nodded.
For a while, we simply stood side by side and enjoyed gazing at the Hundred Million Year Sakura.
After a few minutes, Rose turned to me.
「By the way, why are you here, Allen? Can’t sleep?」
「Hmm? I couldn’t fall asleep because my mind just wouldn’t calm down. So I thought about swinging for a change of mood, and I happened to see you standing on the terrace.」
「Fufu, swinging at this time… You’re still the same as ever.」
With an amazed expression, Rose chuckled.
「……」
Rose’s smile – illuminated by the moonlight – was indescribably beautiful. Snow-white skin. Silver hair which reflects the light of the moon, seeming to shine in the darkness. And the Hundred Million Year Sakura in full bloom behind her in that situation, made me feel like I wanted to immortalize that perfect beautiful sight into a picture frame.
As I was staring at Rose in fascination,
「What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?」
She adorably tilted her neck and put her hand on her cheek.
「N-No, nothing… O-Oh right! I had something to ask… Is that okay!?」
I immediately brought up another topic so that she wouldn’t realize I was charmed by her.
「Of course. You can ask me anything.」
「W-Well then, yesterday you said that Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style isn’t something that is learned. What does that mean?」
