Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Since my older brother became the Four Demons, Gonzo began to encourage further training, and among Genjiro's disciples, he began to eat at the top.

Both I and Sena were secretly delighted to learn that Gonzo was growing steadily.

I think my brother was happy to talk about it just like this.

My mouth was still saying something, but I found my mouth twitching and smiling.

The Demon Squad's movements seemed to have been pursued by my brother, but after the selection match, it seemed that he had hardly grasped his footsteps, and Rumb would not break his mouth.

It is a pleasure that nothing happened, but it seemed like the quiet before the storm and all the anxiety was raised.

After spending such days, Gonzo finally decided to go to the submarine tunnel dungeon. I think it is easy to understand the qualifications required to compete in the selection match.

Incidentally, it seems that my brother trampled the undersea tunnel dungeon with a few people on his way. It seems that some of them gave me that guarantee, and they were allowed to participate in the selection match.

I heard about the underwater tunnel dungeon with my brother, but he refused to let me know it wasn't a pleasant place to talk.

That's how dangerous it is...

However, in Genjiro's story, Gonzo's strength has improved considerably, and it will take quite a while, but unless there is much left, it will be broken.

It wasn't like I didn't believe Genjiro, but I was worried.

I knew it was a very dangerous place, and Sena didn't put it in her mouth or face, but I think she was quite worried.

"It's okay!

With the usual slightly strange way of talking, Gonzo, who told me so and Senna, headed for the undersea tunnel dungeon.

I didn't expect Miss Gonzo to come back from the dungeon for three years.

A few months after dozens of Genjiro's students, including Gonzo, set out for the submarine tunnel dungeon,

Among the students who came back after trampling the dungeon one after another, there was a team that was damaged.

It was the first time I knew that Genjiro had given permission, dived into a dungeon, and suffered damage.

The victims were Gonzo and two others.

According to the testimonies of those who have returned from the dungeon, they will not return...

"Sakura!!

"Sena....."

Immediately after the news arrived, Sena rushed to me.

"Gonzo..."

"... sakura..."

It was unbelievable.

"I can't believe that Gonzo... is dead..."

…………

I think it's sad... but a lot of questions go around my head before I cry too much.

Why... did Gonzo...? What are the others doing...?

Could Gonzo be covering for the others...?

Doubts and the feeling of not accepting Gonzo's death overflowed, and I was stunned.

I didn't believe it because I felt that way at first.

I'm sure they'll show up in front of me and Sena again, laughing bitterly in that weird way. I thought so.

But one month, two months, and as time went by, I was saddened by Gonzo's absence.

One year after Gonzo entered the dungeon.

By that time, the people around them were beginning to live as if Gonzo had died.

It's as if only Gonzo has disappeared from the world... no matter how powerful he is, Gonzo is a lower people. Not many mourned his death.

Heita-sama, Heikichi, and Kanji were still grieving, but after a year and a half... two years, everyone survived the death and returned to their lives.

Perhaps that's the norm, and if you don't, people won't live... I still can't accept Gonzo's death, and I keep praying for Gonzo's safety in the big cherry tree standing in the garden every day, every day.

"Father... Mother... please protect Gonzo... please..."

"Sakura, Gonzo is gone..."

"That's not true! I'm sure... I'm sure I'm still here!

My brother saw me praying and tried to persuade me several times to accept Lord Gonzo's death... but I didn't accept it.

I heard that Genjiro questioned the reasoning of the returnees and made some of them prudent, so I went to ask Genjiro several times.

"I'm sorry... I don't know the details.

"Really...?"

But what happened to Gonzo... and Genjiro didn't know.

I knew that perhaps no one had seen the end... but Genjiro never said that Gonzo was alive.

I don't think you could have said anything that would have given me hope or anyone else hope.

That's what I was doing, so I got rumored to have touched the girls in my mansion...

Of course, my brother couldn't forgive such a rumor, but I heard it all at once.

Gradually, the girls stopped coming near me, and my older brother, who thought I was pitiful, became more overprotective of me.

I was left alone in the past... that's what I thought.

The color disappears from the world and turns black and white... no matter what you touch, no matter what you touch... you don't feel anything. I felt that way.

If I was the only one with that feeling, I might have been really crazy.

Everyone said I was crazy and avoided touching the swelling.

But there was only one person... who shared that feeling with me.

Senna.

Only she felt the same way as me.

After Miss Gonzo stopped coming back, Sena started working again, and it was hard to see her, but when she met her...

"Gonzo is definitely alive. I understand.

That's what I said.

Like me, Senna is somewhere in her heart, and I think that Gonzo has already... felt that way.

But you crushed that feeling and put it into words.

With such thoughts in mind, I kept going for another year, and the girls completely avoided me.

My brother didn't try to convince me that he still prayed for Gonzo's safety every day, but he just stared at me sadly.

Something like that. One day, more than three years after Gonzo entered the dungeon, the day passed.

"Sakura!!

"Brother...?

My brother, in a terrible hurry, rushed into my room.

"... sakura. Calm down and listen.

Yes?

"... Gonzo is back.

"... Gonzo... is leaving...?

When they told me that Gonzo was dead, I couldn't shed a tear.

However, when I heard that Gonzo had returned from my brother's mouth, tears came out of my eyes and I couldn't stop.

"Gonzo... Gonzo..."

I ran unexpectedly into the garden and shouted at the cherry tree.

"Father! Mother! Thank you! Good... good!

You can feel the tears flowing through your cheeks.

I feel my older brother wearing a feather and rubbing my back.

The trunk of the cherry blossom tree that I touched feels rough.

I feel something warm flowing into me as the color returns to the world.

"Wow!

I've been alive for over a hundred years, but I cried as loudly as I was when I was little.

Even though my brother was worried, I didn't stop crying.

Three years of thoughts overflowed with thoughts, and I couldn't stop myself. Yeah... I didn't want to stop it.

People keep telling me that I'm crazy, and yet I can't believe it, and I keep praying to the cherry trees.

It seemed to me that those days had been requited.

After I burst into tears and was brought back to my room by my brother, I was staring at the cherry blossom hair string that was wrapping up my hair.

"Life expectancy... one year... no. It may be shorter.

About six months ago after Gonzo disappeared. I remember the words the doctor told me when I got sick.

"Originally, the weakness gradually progresses, but in Sakura-sama's case, for some reason, the weakness is not progressing.

However, cherry blossom spot disease is progressing steadily.

The bruises on the neck grow bigger and smell of cherry blossoms.

I'm sure there's still time... but I think it's probably because of the hard work that went on so fast. To be honest, I'm not sure why it went so fast.

But... as far as I know, it's in the same condition as the terminal patient.

I remember what the doctor explained.

I would have been asleep by nature, but I can still walk standing.

My ailments and magic eyes have never been on the street. Was it born from a star like that?

Anyway... my life won't be long anymore.

I don't know why, but I'm very happy to be able to stand up and meet Miss Gonzo again.

Now let's rejoice at it.

But after all, if I don't look at the person, I don't really feel it, and I wonder if you really came back...

According to my brother, there are people who have fallen into Gonzo's trap.

To be honest, I felt angry.

I take it for granted that they have locked Gonzo up in a place where my brother is dangerous for three years.

But now I have the idea of filling my head more than that.

What should we talk about when we meet...? That's all I was running around in my head.

This island has changed in the last three years, and... hmm. There seems to be more to talk about....

I spent a few days alone thinking about such things in my room.

"Father... Mother..."

Sacrificing a customary prayer to a cherry tree...

Sakura!

My brother's voice flies to me when I'm out in the yard.

"Brother.

"Sakura! Are you okay to go outside?!

"Brother. Speaking of illness, I'm still fine. Don't worry so much, it's okay.

It's actually a little painful, but I'm fine with this.

"I don't mind saying so..."

"If you lie down on the floor, you'll be sick and weak.

I want to walk while I can. I want to stand while I stand.

"Ugh... if Sakura says so...

But you can't do that, can you?

"I know.

"I hope so..."

I see a figure on the other side of my older brother who is worried about me.

"Besides, are you a customer?

Looking deep from my brother's side.....

"Dear Gonzo?!!

I knew Miss Gonzo.

"Ah! Sakura?!

My brother stopped me, but when I noticed, I ran away.

Gonzo is... alive in front of me.

"Sakura, Sakura! Don't run!

With that strange way of talking, he shook his hands in front of him in a hurry.

"Are you really... really Gonzo...?

"Yes, it is! So don't run! Huh?!"

Ah... it's really Gonzo. Definitely...

When I thought about it, I was thinking about what to say so much, but it wasn't words that came out, it was tears.

"Really... Gonzo... good... good..."

That's all I could say.

If I cried, even though I knew that Gonzo would make an odd noise again, it wasn't stopped.

Afterwards, I wondered if my brother was happy with me, but I was able to talk to Gonzo.

And Niru-sama Shinya, who said she saved the life of cute rats and Gonzo.

I'm sure my father and mother gave me a miracle so that the three of you could meet Miss Gonzo.

Like Gonzo, they were very gentle and able to understand the pain of others deeply, and I knew that they didn't even look at the black stone.

Classes call their friends.

I'm sure Miss Gonzo's kindness was also conveyed to these people.

We are a demon race, and Sinya-sama is a human race and a Watanabe. Niru-sama... I felt something different when I looked at the black stone, so maybe it's not a human race.

Is there anything to do with the shackles on my neck, wrists or ankles...?

Rat-sama... seems to be somehow different from the Thunderbeast my brother contracted... but I don't care about that.

As long as you know that the people are very nice, that's enough.

I'm really glad that Gonzo had so many lovely friends before I left.

I'm sure Gonzo's future will be bright.

It's a shame I can't see it with my own eyes... but I'll keep an eye on it with my father and mother.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

"Fufufu, that's a long story.

………………

Sakura laughs beautifully.

Neither I, Nil, nor Rat... spoke.

Nil even shed tears everywhere.

I've never seen anyone so beautiful and beautiful, including my life in Japan, walking through such a sad and painful life.

She is filled with kindness and love for others.

There will certainly be anger and sorrow. Still, kind enough to fill them up.

Why did Gonzo become so kind and Buddhist... I could understand it when I saw Sakura.

Gonzo must be in love. But...

"Sakura, the story of my life..."

"... I still only know my brother.

"Why us?

It's about what Senna and Gonzo should have known before.

No... maybe it's because I care about them that Sakura can't tell us this story.

"Why...? Fufufu, I don't even know myself.

Sakura laughs at that.

It's hard to tell them, I think they told us. But....

"Gonzo and Senna, perhaps... I'd like to hear it from Sakura.

I wonder what this mouth is saying...

I also have a cause of her death. I resent my helplessness, which can't save anything.

"That's right... right..."

"Sakura."

Yes?

"Life expectancy is about half a year... right?

"... yes.

No doubt...

Indeed, we are here to ask for help from the Alliance.

But to do this, we need Gonzo.

Genjiro and Siden are also four demons. If Sena succeeds her father Touzi and gains the trust of the civilians, she will need her help.

It's all about the people that we need for our purpose, and it's like... the sakura that keeps us connected.

If she dies, Siden, Gonzo and Sena will not be able to stand up with grief.

Sakura takes her existence lightly, but her presence is very heavy.

So, at the top of our priorities, we'll find a cure for sakura. This is coming.

I know it myself.

That's why I was tied up so hard....

But there's no mistake.

And I promised Gonzo. We need to find a way to get Sakura out.

"Sakura."

"Yes."

"We're also looking for a cure for sakura.

"What? Well... my life... is over..."

"Not anymore. I still have half a year left.

"... but... Shinya has a purpose. Don't worry about me..."

"No, I want Sakura alive for that purpose. No, I don't want him alive.

Above all... we want Sakura alive. That's why I'll find out.

"... fufu. You're still a friend of Gonzo's. You have the same eyes as Miss Gonzo at that time.

Sakura laughs happily,

"That's right...

I promised you so many times... I was beginning to give up.

I won't give up until the end.

Gonzo and Sena will soon be talking about their lives.

The cheeky face came back a little alive.

"But... there's only one thing I need you to do.

"Wish?"

"Yes. If... if you can't find a cure and I die, don't blame yourself.

"That's a tough wish..."

"If I die like this, I can say with my chest full of happiness. So...."

"Okay. I'll take good care of it.

"... fufu. Thank you very much.

I wonder how kind he really is...

If someone wanted to live a little longer, there would be a lot more...

Sometimes I've just met you... but I still know. Maybe Sakura will tell Gonzo and the others the same thing.

My last wish is to worry about others.....

We'll do everything we can to find a cure so that her wish doesn't end.

"Still... demons, demons... this island is rattling too.

I want to change the tight air and change the story.

"That's right... if Genjiro told you about the Demon Squad, it might be more active than I thought.

In Sakura's story, the Demons didn't even talk to Gonzo.

To be precise, if I told Gonzo, who is still the identity of the lower people, it is believed that the story of the Demon Squad has already spread to the citizens of the city.

The Demons have been moving around flashy for the last three years.

"Do you have any idea why they're targeting the Demons?

"I said it was because of the Magic Eye..."

"... can't you talk because of the memoirs...?

You're making a whole lot of trouble. What are you doing to a woman like the Virgin Mary?

However, it is natural to think that Sakura's Magic Eye has other abilities... from the story of realizing the true nature of the crap and rubbish.

It is only an indirect view, but it is likely that it is the reason for being targeted.

When it comes to Siden's selection game...

"It was so powerful that I felt the divinity of the athletes.

said.

At that time, I noticed that Sakura's eyes were swimming.

You're not accustomed to telling lies because you're such a beautiful woman.

I feel a little guilty, but if she has the power to see the divine powers, that's a good reason to be targeted.

We'll have to think about what you're going to do with Gonzo.

After all, if we're going after the Demons, it's probably the fastest way to get us out of Sakura...
