Isekai Torippu Shita Sono Bade Taberarechaimashita

Finally here we are, Captain. Exclusive day of the day.

Because we're going a little far today, and we're going to be traveling on horses.

I can't ride alone, but I think I've learned a little bit about how to balance it thanks to letting me ride a few times.

The captain spans the horse to hold me in front.

"What's that wrap?"

He peered in from behind the luggage I had in my hand and inquired suspiciously.

Wrapped in cloth so you can't see what's in it, it's big enough for both hands.

I'm not tired of holding it because it's light, but I held it in tight so I wouldn't accidentally drop it.

"Don't tell me yet. It's a pleasure since we arrived!

"It'll take a little while."

"If you're with Mr. Grace, you're fine. It's a date!

Even if the purpose is separate, the time alone is because of it.

It's been a long time, so if you don't enjoy it a lot, it's a loss!

So I decided that the captain's troubled sigh, which I heard from behind, was not conveniently audible.

I ran my horse for a while and it was on a small high hill that the captain brought me.

"Here, you can see the king's capital"

"Wow..."

As I requested, it's a very nice place to see.

An incomparable king's capital is like a georama in a museum.

Nature and cheeks loose in a pleasant breeze across the hill.

…… This... "

Second, my gaze was drawn to a single tree.

Broad leaves with tall, thick trunks and red brown leaves.

This... looks familiar, on the contrary...

"You know even if the flowers aren't blooming"

"Ah, then..."

"Oh, it's cherry trees. In spring, a thin red petal dances."

The captain nodded with a true face. Apparently it wasn't a mistake.

I glanced up at the red-leaved cherry tree.

Touch the trunk of the tree without pepper and meaning to make sure it feels.

"Here it is, there it is..."

As much as I have cherry motif accessories, I knew they also existed in this world.

I was just a little nervous about whether that was really exactly the same cherry blossoms I know.

I thought none of the tree trunks would change that much, but the color, the look, the touch, they were all stained with memories.

Speaking of which, when I went to see flowers with my family as a kid, I was so mad when I climbed a tree. Because cherry blossoms die when they break.

I miss the colour and shape of the leaves and the gizzards on the edges very much.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, in my twenty years, cherry blossoms existed there as a matter of course.

"Even though the flowers aren't blooming, I didn't think it would make sense."

"No, I'm happy. I've been seen, and Mr. Grace has chosen me here today."

Really, the captain always gives me what I want.

You can't even know what I'm about to do.

"... yeah, it's a great location for cherry blossoms to see through!

I nod one and then take off the cloth that I've been wrapping up the luggage I've always held dear.

The captain looked out for what came out of the inside.

"It's..."

"Bye, Rabbit Moo. It's a bath towel. Incidentally, the contents"

"Contents...?

"I wrote to my family. And a little bit more. Sorry about the ribbon, it's a gift because of it, but let me use it"

I folded the bath towel and put a letter in it just as it came in the middle.

Inside the envelope, my hair is also in one room. I took out a dagger that I had without letting go of my skin but never showed up and cut my hair in a discreet spot. The hand holding the sword, it did not tremble anymore.

The bow that ties the bath towel is the one that tied my hair at the party. I felt so pretty and wasted, but that's why I wanted to use it.

"Did you know? Actually, when the Spirit brought me in, the path was still there, and even if people couldn't get through, they could send me a little something."

I was taught that the day before the party.

I heard that spiritual paths and otherworldly trips are the same principle, and I remember a long time ago when you said that humans can't fly to otherworlds because they're big, so if it's something smaller? I checked and it was bingo.

Turns out Ofi didn't tell me 'cause I didn't ask'.

Damn it, the Spirit is this!

They can follow the path I still have, and send it just at that moment, when I tripped across the world.

Even if you fall into the bathroom you just used, multiple overlapping bath towels should protect your letter for as long as your family can find it.

The letter was rewritten over and over again, from the end of the party until now.

It was yesterday that I was finally able to write a satisfactory letter.

I had too much to tell you and I lost my cohesion, but I wanted my family to know how honest I am right now.

"Yes, it was..."

"The king's capital is full of normal magic, so I'm sure he can send it without hesitation."

King's capital protected by the king's magic.

It seems that this land, where normal magic flows, with no room for demons coming from the starch of magic, is most susceptible to infiltration by the power of the Spirit.

"So... Mr. Grace, please"

I look up at the captain as I hold the rabbit Moo bath towel all over my chest.

"If Mr. Grace wanted me, I could jump in without hesitation anymore. You can let this go."

I want to hear the heart of what you didn't let me hear on the way home from the party, right now.

When I shut my mouth, all I hear is the sound of leaf rubbing.

The dead leaves of cherry blossoms passed between them.

The captain closes his eyes once and slowly opens them.

The blue grey eyes were filled with colors I had never seen before.

"Ever since I came to King's Capital, whenever you called my name, my expectations have increased. And every time I crushed that expectation, my chest ached. So much so that I want you to stick it through my head."

Eh, and I blink.

I can't believe you were forcing the captain to suffer like that.

Though I was going to tell you how I felt.

The pivotal part was missing, so on the contrary, it might have been a cruel setup for the captain.

"If... even if you were gone, I would live my days the same. to assume his responsibilities as captain of the Fifth Division and to protect the people"

I can imagine that.

Some people get dumped by their lovers and drown in self-depravity and booze, but the captain isn't.

The captain is the captain everywhere.

"I'm not young enough to throw out everything else just because I lost a woman who wanted to spend her whole life with me"

Mr. Grace is serious, isn't he?

"... right"

The captain nods and breathes small.

Then I took what was out of my chest pocket.

"So... if that's what you think, don't go anywhere"

I've been keeping it since party day, cherry blossom pendant.

That's what the captain put on my neck.

Maybe it felt like a shackle because that's what I wanted.

"Sakura, stay with me forever."

That was a plea.

I was the only one who could do it, Mr. Captain's selfishness.

If you think so, what a much less honest proposal.

With that said, I guess “Captain With Me” and “Captain Without Me” will change even as we spend every day unchanged.

As the platoon leader felt the change in the captain since I arrived.

Even if I never miss you and cry, I'm sure there's a hole in the captain's chest.

... only me, there's a hole I can't fill.

"Because Mr. Grace accepts me as a" cherry blossom ". Then I feel like I can live as a Sakura. He said he could give it to you in return."

To get the courage to take a step forward, I grip the cherry pendant all the time.

Be prepared to choose next to the captain, from your family, from your hometown.

Be prepared to continue to love the captain.

"I don't know if it's in the language of the world over here. In the language of my country, eating is also a metaphorical expression of something like that (...)"

Even for my abrupt change of direction, the captain listens quietly without being shaken off.

"I grew to like Mr. Grace more every time he could eat me. Little by little, I felt like going home."

The captain waited for me, not one way or the other.

You always prepared an escape route for me.

The whole body and mind, because the captain enveloped me with love.

My chest still hurts ticklishly, but I've already decided how I feel.

Right now, my mind is turning to Mr. Captain in a straight line.

"I like it. Love it.... maybe this is what love is all about"

I thought it would take much longer for me to be able to say that without joking or exaggerating.

Maybe I couldn't tell you for the rest of my life.

Yet when I realized I was so full of feelings for the captain.

"I, I want to keep learning more about Mr. Grace and liking Mr. Grace. So eat me with the untrained that can't be helped"

That's how I want you to block my hole clean.

Come to this world, there's too much I've lost, the hole in my heart I've always thought would never be blocked.

Because only the captain can block it.

"This, from a strand of hair"

The captain combs my hair and gently presses his lips against a room tangled in his fingers.

"I want everything to be mine, up to the tip of my fingernails."

Lightly eaten at the tip of a fingernail, of a hand gripped like a dull take-off.

As contagious as it is from where it is touched, there is heat all over the body.

Everything, I want to be Captain's.

I can't help but want him to eat me.

There was nothing lost anymore.

I grabbed the rabbit Moo's bath towel and shook it wide.

"Look at that!

Quick as I say, I throw a chunk of bath towels high from the hill with Pawn.

I wholeheartedly hope to reach my loved ones who will not interact with me for the rest of their lives, far, far.

The Spirit seemed to have listened well to his wishes, and Rabbit Moo's bath towel scratched away as he fell.

At that moment, the flicker, and plundered the edge of his sight.

"Huh... Huh!?

The cherry blossoms were blooming.

The cherry blossom tree, which had dropped its dead leaves until earlier, was now blooming to proclaim its exaltation and spring.

That's how they're laughing at me from between the dancing cherry blossom petals.

Sakura!

"You finally met me! Glad to hear it!"

You're so cynical!

Yellow, pink, water, yellow green. I hear the Spirit was very colorful.

The voice was accepted naturally, as if it were normal to be right there from the beginning.

Cherry blossom blizzards with flickering and colorful spirits.

It was as beautiful as this world was blessing my choices.

"Mr. Grace, it's cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms!

"Oh... cherry blossoms, right..."

Contrary to me cheering, he snapped as small as he was relieved.

Then he slowly turned his gaze to me.

"This is it, Sakura"

I narrowed my eyes and smiled lovingly.

The blue-grey eyes were watching spring in me.

Yes, this is me so far. Previously on water cherry blossoms.

I hope he's the only one who knows. I just want him to know.

So I put the water cherry blossoms on a plate and the forks and knives on the left and right.

"Come on, eat it!

That's how I become Sakura Minakami and live in this world, next to Mr. Grace.
