Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

"Do you know why you were targeting my sister?

"... probably, but I think it's because of the Magic Eye... That's all I can think of... if you'll excuse me..."

"No, that's what I thought, so I'm fine.

Though cherry blossoms are rare, I'm not the only one...

And yet, I dare say the reason why I was targeted... is because I'm the daughter of the Four Demons...?

"Regarding why I targeted Sakura instead of other Magic Eye Holders... it is only speculation, but I am thinking now that I tried to show my strength by grabbing the daughter of Shiki...

I don't think that's all there is to it... "

There's no other reason... I don't think so, but...

"And this time Shunlai is the reason to vacate the house. It's a guy named Rattlesnake... probably. He must be deeply involved.

Maybe... I think it was a guy named Rattlesnack who instigated suspicion about other demons, set them on fire, and made them bigger.

This is just my guess, but the outside of that man is pretty soft and friendly. And he speaks well and understands the distance from the other person. I don't think it was easy enough to incite the demons...

Even if you were attacked immediately after you met me, or if men were wearing similar surfaces to rattles, I'm sure that rattles are involved, at least.

"Did you find a guy named Crack?

"Unfortunately, when Shunlai and I visited, it was already a barren shell.

"Running away... I'm pretty sure a guy named Garak is involved.

"I guess.

Perhaps I will never show my face in that mansion again.

"Rattling....."

Revenge between father and mother.

My brother repeats his name in his heart.

"... including the crap, I'll look into the problem. I'm sorry, but there's information you can talk about and things you can't. Especially for you right now.

Me and Sena deserve it, but my brother and Gonzo... we still don't have enough power to fight them.

So far, I think Genjiro dared not use the word "Demon Squad" to keep the danger away...

"... Dear Genjiro.

"What?

My brother lowers his head deeply to Genjiro-sama.

"First of all, thank you for everything.

"Never mind. I'm with Shunlai. I can't get into this much trouble.

"... I know it's a lot thicker, but there's one more thing. Thank you for your help.

"... say it.

"... won't you protect Sakura for a while?

"Well, I thought it was about the Four Ones.

"It's not up to me. It is what you win with your own strength. That's why… I'm going on a journey to train myself.

"Brother...?

To be honest, I missed being away from my brother in the present situation. The sadness of losing my father and mother is too painful to bear alone...

"Sakura, I know about this. I'm... weak.

…………

"I didn't have a hand or a foot... I can't tell you that I'm going to protect Sakura.

My brother snorts his teeth.

"I was proud to have trained myself so far. But it didn't work at all... it wasn't enough..."

"Don't worry, if you keep going, you'll get stronger someday.

"No, I promised my father. Sakura protection.

One day... it won't work. As soon as possible. I have to be strong.

"... I see. All right, all right.

Leave the sakura to me.

Genjiro-sama was delighted.

I think I felt my brother's readiness.

I felt it too...

"I'll go see Sakura as soon as I can. You can stay.

Sena laughed brightly.

"Thank you. Please.

"Oniisama..."

"Sakura. I will come back... with enough strength to protect you. Will you wait till then?

"... yes.

It's also my brother's dream to be strong.

I definitely hated taking it away from my sister.

I smiled at my brother. I think I've smiled better this time of year... than before.

"... Dear Genjiro!

"What?

At that time, Gonzo called out Genjiro's name and lowered his head deeply.

"Please... make me your apprentice!!

Gonzo decided to aim for the Four Ones. I have been to the front gate before and this time. It was only natural that Genjiro lowered his head.

"I don't like it.

But that's all Genjiro replied to.

I was a little surprised.

I think Genjiro knows perhaps the black stone that sleeps inside Gonzo.

I always thought you'd be happy with me...

And besides, it's like a child's waste.

Dear Genjiro, Dear Gonzo,

"Sakura."

I tried to pinch my mouth to help Gonzo, but Gonzo blocked it.

"This is what I have to do.

At that time, I acted imprudently.

If you think about it carefully, you'll see.

Genjiro was asked by his father to do four things, including Gonzo.

I also know about the black stone.

I didn't see it directly, and it was like an extension of the fight, but I think Genjiro knew the power to defeat the assassin indirectly.

And yet I refused. No… it was a difficult colour to be exact.

There must be a reason for Genjiro to be there.

I couldn't read it and did something I couldn't help but ask.

"But I'm sorry..."

"No, I'm happy.

But I have to do this.

"... yes.

Gonzo's eyes were full of determination.

If Master Gonzo decides to do it, he will definitely do it. Even without my help.

Ning, if I raise my hand, it may only get in the way.

"Please!

Gonzo laid his knees and head on the floor on the spot and sat down.

"I don't like it.

However, Genjiro did not shake his neck vertically.

From that day on, Gonzo carried his feet to Genjiro's mansion and sat down in front of the gate all day long...

A few days later, my brother went on a journey, I stayed in the Mansion, and Genjiro arranged for the guards to follow me.

I was confused at first with the fairly strict security, but once I got used to it, I stopped worrying about it.

However, it was cramped that I couldn't get out much. Did you feel it? Sena visited me every time and told me a lot of stories every time she came.

Recently, some people have admitted to Sena's skill, and she has a customer (Koyaku), or something like this is in fashion in the city...

However, when Senna was gone, I was alone in a large familiar mansion.

To be precise, there were women and guards, but the loss of father and mother did not disappear in any way.

I had more time to look at the cherry blossoms in the garden, which had grown considerably, and more time to think about the past.

One day, when Sena came to the Mansion, there was Gonzo beside her.

"Dear Gonzo..."

"Sakura..."

It's been a long time since Gonzo's hair has grown all - you - can - do. My beard grew dry.

"I think I know because I was talking to Sakura, but from that day until now, Gonzo has been going to Genjiro's mansion every day. I haven't dived the gate yet, but...

Gonzo was still being thrown at by Genjiro.

Sunny days, rainy days, windy days... Gonzo went down every day and it was already six months.

"Well, is Genjiro-sama still...?

"Ah... but I will never give up.

…………

Gonzo will never give up once he decides.

"Today, I was forced to pull Gonzo down in front of Genjiro's mansion. Sakura misses you.

"Oh no... I..."

"Oh, no! I got business!

"What about it?"

"Sorry, Gonzo! Sakura, nice to meet you!

"Ah! Oooh! Senna!"

That's how Sena runs.

"Senna always does that.

…………

Gonzo exhales.

But I knew. Maybe... Senna wanted to leave me and Miss Gonzo alone...

Sena must have noticed how I feel. So...

"Sakura? Are you okay?

"Heh?! Ah! It's okay!

Master Gonzo peeks into my face.

Suddenly, Miss Gonzo appeared in front of me and her heart jumped out.

"My face is a little red. You should go inside and rest..."

"Yes, it's okay.

"Really? Well then... let's just sit down once.

Gonzo always lowers his hips to the edge of the cherry tree when I look at it.

"... yes.

I sat to the right of Gonzo and looked at the cherry trees in the same way.

Curiously, it was always the cherry blossom tree that I thought I was looking at in the past, but just because Gonzo is next door, it looks like the most beautiful cherry blossom tree in the world.

"Sakura."

Yes?

Gonzo calls out my name as he looks at the cherry tree.

That lateral face... from my right cheek to my chin, there are painful scars left here at that time.

"I'll definitely become a Four Ghosts, and I'll be able to protect Sakura and... Sena.

"... yes.

"And we'll find a cure for the sakura.

"... yes. I believe it.

"Now, it's painful, sad and lonely... I think that's the time... but there's always a time when you can laugh.

"... yes.

"That's why I'm fine.

"Yes."

Gonzo says, "It's okay at this time."

If this were a stranger, it would be a terrible thing to know…

But when Gonzo said that, for some reason, a feeling of security and warmth spring up from the bottom of my heart.

The grief over the loss of my father and mother still didn't go away, but it seemed like I could just... laugh naturally.

"... Mr. Gonzo?

"What?

"My hair is dry.

"Ugh... I've been sitting in front of the Mansion lately..."

"May I fix it?

Sakura?

"If you don't like it..."

"No, please. I thought it was a little depressing.

"Fufufu. Yes. Leave it to me.

I go to my room and bring haircut scissors.

Sit with your spine extended and knees raised behind Gonzo sitting on the edge.

When I first met him, he was so small, but now he has a big back.

I'm sure Gonzo's back will grow even bigger from here.

If possible... I'd like to see it nearby. But... I don't have the right...

When I remove the cut edge of the dirty white cloth that wraps up Gonzo's hair, my hair falls on my shoulders. When I touch that hair, it feels stiff and stiff. The feel of a man's hair. I wonder if it is harder than my brother or father.

Shh...

The sound of the scissors cutting the tip of the hair resounds under the clear sky and at the edge.

"It's getting a little cold these days.

Shh...

I see. Be careful not to catch a cold.

Shh...

"Yes, I'd like to say that Gonzo..."

Shh...

"I'm fine. Because it's sturdy.

Shh...

"Fufufu, please be as careful as you can.

Shh...

Ah.

A story without other love.

It made me feel very happy.

Finish your hair and wrap it up again.

"That's it.

"Thank you. Phew... that's refreshing.

"Shave your beard, will you?

"That's right... huh?

Gonzo looks at the edge of the dirty white cloth I have in my hand and reaches out to the thing that wraps his hair.

"Sakura... this is..."

"... yes. Mother's..."

At that time, my mother wore... the hair strings she gave me, my father, my brother and Sena. Half of it.

I use the other half to wrap up my hair.

To put it simply, it was my mother's... form.

"Sakura, this is..."

"It's good.

I stopped Gonzo who tried to remove the cherry blossom hair string that was wrapping up his hair.

Gonzo did not receive his father's image or his mother's image as one.

My brother and I should have it, just one...

So, mother, father, me, brother, Sena. I wanted Gonzo to use this hair string that made everyone feel good.

I'm sure your mother would be pleased.

And... to me, this hair string seemed to have brought us together with Gonzo.

If I hadn't found these ties when I met Miss Gonzo, I might not have been there.

"I'm sure your mother will be happy, too.

"... thank you.

"No."

Gonzo lowers his hand when he tries to remove his hair string.

"Instead, Gonzo should be more careful with words.

"Yes, suddenly..."

"If you are aiming for the Four Ones, polite language is also necessary. The same is true of what is done.

"Ugh...."

"Fufu. I know you're not good at it, but as it stands, you may be taken lightly by words and craftsmanship.

"Gu... but what do I do..."

"Well... what do you say when you say there's a cherry tree there, for example?

"Hmm... cherry blossom trees...

"Fufufu, who told you that?

I laugh without thinking of it as too unnatural. Always, Gonzo makes me laugh.

"Nh, it's hard.

"Fufufu, please stop!

"What can't be done?

"Fufufu, already! Dear Gonzo!"

"Sorry. Follow me.

That's what Gonzo said and laughed.

After all... I really admired this guy... and I thought so.

"Kohn. Is that okay? When I say yes, I say," Thank you. "

"There are cherry trees sitting there.

"No. Because it includes the meaning of the word" sit "... the cherry tree sits. said.

Use it when there is a person in front of you or when there is something to respect.

"Gu... difficult... sit down... sit down..."

"You just have to remember it little by little. I'm sure Mr. Gonzo can do it.

"Okay... no... I don't understand!

"Fufufu, that doesn't make any sense!

"Isn't that right?

"I don't understand! Fufufu."

"I'm surprised you like it!

"Dear Gonzo! Fufufu, this is crazy! Stop it, please! It's too hard to laugh!

"Ha! But... how... will the cherry tree sit down...?!

"But please stop already!

For the first time in a long time, I laughed so much that it really hasn't been painful for a long time.

I'm sure Miss Gonzo was aware that I was depressed.

Then... Miss Gonzo's words changed.

What are we all talking about at first? I had the face, but if I always used to use that word, I would get used to hearing it strangely. Now, on the contrary, I felt unnatural if there was nothing on the end of the phrase.

It was strange... but then Gonzo gradually remembered his words and his work, so that he didn't know it was coming out of the lower people.

But still... Genjiro-sama had trouble passing through Gonzo.

I thought it was bad for the boulder... but Gonzo never broke and kept lowering his head in front of the gate.

No matter how much it rains, no matter how much wind blows, no matter how much snow it snows....

I think it's really amazing that Miss Gonzo didn't get sick.

After all, I wasn't worried because Sena was nearby, but I still think she was doing something she couldn't normally do.

At the end of the day, Mr. Gonzo was allowed to keep his head down... one year later.

According to the story, we demons are a long-lived species, but the flow of time does not change. One year is one year.

Meanwhile, the fact that Gonzo kept lowering his head spread greatly not only to the dojo but also to the surrounding people.

Some people said… like the lower people, but most of the voices were worried about Gonzo, or that it would be okay to do too much with the boulders.

At that time, I noticed Genjiro's aim.

If Genjiro had easily accepted Gonzo at that time, there would have been no support for Gonzo, and life after that would have become terribly difficult.

But now there are even people who are happy to be accepted. Even so, if there are people who treat Gonzo badly in the dojo, many people will raise their dissatisfaction.

To be precise, Gonzo is not a lower people, but a civilian. If we know that he has treated the civilian harshly, the largest number of civilians will come.

It was all about Miss Gonzo.

After all, Genjiro of the Gokashi sword is an amazing person.

After all, I heard about it from Sena.

Fuck!

Genjiro, who had never appeared before, violently opened the gate from the inside.

"What, Master?!

"Gonzo, come in.

Genjiro ignored the gatekeeper's voice and called out to Gonzo.

"Yes!!

"The answer is Oshin.

"Oh, Shinobi!!

In front of Gonzo, who was taken to the dojo, Genjiro and Leica.

"Sit down."

"Shinobi!!

"We don't need such hard words alone. Take it easy.

"Yes, yes.

"I'm going straight to the point.

………

"I officially accept you as my disciple from today.

"Nh!! Don't thank me!

"What? What's that weird way of talking...?

"This is an awkward man!

Well, that's good.

"Gonzo, call me Leica.

"Isn't that Leica...?

"Miss... that's fine. It is not great enough to be called after.

"Call me Master.

"I understand. Master."

"Well done... first of all. Gonzo."

Heh?

"Thanks to your patience, I was able to get into this dojo.

"I see..."

"Gonzo will not be left in front of the gate for nothing. Well... I've checked your motivation...

"Either way, it won't change anything for Gonzo. Well done.

"... don't thank me. Finally... we're at our starting point.

"Exactly. This is only the starting point.
