The one month period from March 1st to 31st is the spring vacation period of Senbi Academy.

(Spring break and summer break are the only two valuable long vacations in a year. We need to make the most of it. ......!

　This past year.
　By accident, I've crushed many of the Kuro Organization's plans and operations.
　Because of that, I'm now in a position where they're trying to kill me.

　I'm sure they'll send even stronger enemies in the future.

(Leah and Rose, in order to protect the people you care about, you have to become stronger and stronger. ......)

　In order to do that, you need to train hard.

(Okay, let's do this: ......!

　March 1.
　(Okay, let's do it! !) The first day of March. I got my energy back and immediately started the activities of the swinging club.
　Even though it's spring break, the club activities will still go on as usual.

"Phew, phew, phew, phew, phew!

　During the day, he swung his sword comfortably with the others.
　In the evening, after the swinging club activities are over, we have a mock battle with Ria and Rose to simulate a real battle.
　After that, I go to the vacant lot behind the dormitory and devote myself to swinging alone under the moonlight.

　Finally, around the time the sun was about to set.

"Good night, Leah.

"Yeah. Good night, Allen.

　I sleep in a warm bed with Leah.

　For two weeks, I spent almost all of my time in swordplay, a hard but fulfilling life.

　After that, I managed to overcome the fierce Shiro Day, which can only be described as "turbulent",......, and finally arrived on March 15.

　The student council's "spring training camp" will be held for exactly one week from today.

　The time is seven in the morning.
　The time is seven o'clock in the morning, and Leah and I meet Rose at the main gate of Senbei Academy.

"Good morning, Rose. It's another beautiful day.

Rose, good morning. I'm glad you're up and about.

"Wow. ....... ............ Good morning.

　She had a particular weakness for mornings, so she raised her left hand in a small gesture with a big sigh.

You look sleepy.

I'm up two hours earlier than I usually am on a school day, so it's not surprising. ......

"............ Yeah.

　Rose nodded her head as if she were a small child.

(It's hard to imagine her as the dignified person she usually is. ......)

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

Rose. I know it's going to be a little hard, but let's just hang in there for a little while longer, okay?　Once we're on the plane, you'll be able to sleep for a while.

　I'll try to cheer her up.

"I'll do my best.

　She said, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"Okay. So, should we get going?

Yeah, let's do it!

Let's go to .............

　And so we walked to the house of the Arcturian family, the meeting place.

　On the way, the topic of conversation naturally turned to the destination of the camp.

I'm looking forward to the cherry blossom country of Cherin. ......

"Hmm, yes. By the way, the specialty of Cherin is "Sakura Mochi"!　Let's eat our fill, shall we, Allen?

Oh, ....... I'll do my best. ......!

　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　It is a small country located on the edge of the Poliesta Union, one of the five major countries.

　It is a beautiful isolated island where cherry blossoms bloom all year round and is one of the world's leading tourist destinations.
　It is one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world. In particular, the "Billion Year Cherry Blossom", a national treasure, is so famous that it has been featured in textbooks.

　It is said to be a huge cherry tree that has been in bloom for billions of years.

(But billions of years? .......) (But billions of years old? ......)

　I was feeling a little bit of camaraderie.

...... It's a nice place. Really, beautiful cherry blossoms bloom .......

　Rose's eyes fluttered in the morning sun, and she spoke a few words.

"Hey, have you been there before?

　I'm not sure what to make of that.

...... That's my birthplace.

Is that so?

That's the first time I've heard of it!

　I thought Rose was born in the Leengard Empire.

I thought Rose was born in the Leengard Empire. - No, you didn't. ......?　Yes, I did. ....... I left the country when I was ten, so it's been five years since I've been back to Cherin. ....... I just want you to be careful(...) ....... There ...... is me, of ...... wow .......

　Rose broke off the conversation there and fell silent.



　Apparently, he's desperately fighting the oncoming sleep.

("There's my ......?")

　I was a little curious about what was going to happen next, but I couldn't let her push herself too hard at this point.

　I'll ask her about the rest of the story when she's fully awake.

What are you going to do, Allen ......?　I really think I'm going to fall asleep here. ......?

Yes, we are. ....... Rose, I'd like to walk a little faster ...... if that's okay.

　I asked her, shaking her shoulder gently.

"............ Yes.

　She nodded and increased her walking speed slightly.

　We then proceeded to the house of the Arcturian family, where the chairman and others were waiting.
