296 Cherry Blossom Country Cherin and the Seven Holy S...





The seventh sword - Shunsen!

[Sakuraga Itto-ryu: Ren-ou-sen!

[Zekken--seven rainbows renzan!

 It's a battle of tenths of a second, a few millimeters of separation, and a sword fight where not even a blink of an eye is allowed.

(Oh, that was fun. ......)

 I'm not sure what to make of this.

(To say that fighting is fun is a bit like saying "Zeon", which I don't like. ......)

 (I feel a bit like Zeon when I say that fighting is fun, but ) That fight was so blood-boiling and flesh-dropping that it didn't matter.

Oh, no. ......

 I can't sleep in this condition.
 It was just after midnight when I glanced at my watch.

...... I think I'll take a quick swing.

 A couple of minutes of light sword swinging will help to calm your high spirits.
 It's early tomorrow, but I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep lying in bed like this.

 If that's the case, why don't I just do a quick swing to refresh my body and mind?

"Okay, let's go!

 I opened my eyes and jumped up from the bed.

I'm going to ...... change my clothes, and I'm going to stay like this.

 I'm not going to be swinging a sword for four or five hours like I usually do.
 There's no need to change back into your uniform.

...... Everyone's probably asleep by now, so we should move quietly.

 He gripped his sword against the wall and slowly left the room.
 I walked straight down the long corridor and tiptoed down the stairs, trying not to make any loud noises.

 Then...

(......?)

 At the north end of the second floor, I found Rose in a yukata on the overhanging terrace.

(What is she doing there at this hour?)

 (What is she doing there at this time of night?) She was looking at the billion-year cherry blossoms in the moonlight with a somewhat sad expression on her face.
