239. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [10]
We left our luggage at the Arcstria villa, and imdiately started a tour of Cherin.
「It’s a very unique townscape unlike Vesteria Kingdom and Ringard! Fufu, I’m kind of excited!」
Ria’s eyes glead in excitent at the exotic landscape.
「…So nostalgic. That store still hasn’t collapsed yet?」
Rose, who has completely woken now, looked around with a tender expression.
「Our Orest town is good, but… going to a country with a completely different culture like this is exciting too!」
「I know what you an, Sie! This feeling as if I had stepped into another world is so thrilling!」
「The real pleasure of traveling abroad is getting in touch with other cultures, though!」
The president and senpais seed to be enjoying the atmosphere of a foreign country. We walked around with a cheerful atmosphere.
While walking around,
(I see, so this is Cherin, huh…)
I rembered an article in a travel magazine that I read before leaving for this spring training camp.
Cherin is an isolated island surrounded by the sea on all sides, and is one of the small-scale nations that form one of the Five Great Powers, Polyesta Federation.
Originally an unpopulated island that no one lived on, but people srised by the beauty of the national treasure, “100 Million Year Sakura” at the southern tip of the island, moved in one after another, and eventually beca a country.
Because of this historical background, the closer you get to the Hundred Million Year Sakura, the more developed the city will be.
(Even so, there is a “mysterious charm” here.)
Looking around, I see only old wooden buildings.
There was not one stone-built house, let alone a steel fra one.
(At first glance, it looks like a group of houses that are about to collapse at any mont, but…)
Looking closely, it was endowed with the strength and weight of the trees – the power of nature.
This is certainly the one that is creating a unique atmosphere.
(But still, there are so many people here.)
There should still be quite a distance from the 100 Million Year Sakura tree located at the southern tip of the island, and yet…
Everywhere I looked, it was full of tourists.
Perhaps because it is a global tourist destination, there were different races and outfits.
(It’s a little different from Drestia, the rchant town.)
Different from the brilliant liveliness that was there.
Here it’s more calm and gentle.
As we walked through the crowd for about five minutes while enjoying the “air of Cherin”,
「Well then, it’s about ti we bought “Sakuramono”!」[TL Note: “Sakura Kimono= Sakuramono”.]
The president, who was leading the way, looked back and proposed.
「Sakuramono… It’s an outfit with sakura blossom patterns, isn’t it?」I asked.
「Yes, you got it right. Here in Cherin, there is a custom to wear sakura blossom-patterned outfit, the Sakuramono. Well, it’s not compulsory, but since we’ve co all the way, I thought it would make a good mory… What do you think?」she asked, tilting her head.
「Yes, I think it will make a very good mory.」
「I agree too!」Ria said.
「It’s a custom of my hotown. Of course, I have no objection.」Rose said.
「Sa for !」
「Of course, I agree though!」
We unanimously decided to buy sakuramono, so we headed to a shop called “Sakura Store” which was just around the corner.
