Chapter 301. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [72]
「The “seal” and “vow” of succession, huh. If it’s alright, can you tell me more about it?」
I decided to continue the story so as not to trivialise Rose’s decision to share it with me.
「Yes, of course.」
Rose nodded, and continued.
「It seems that the living sakura that Rocks met in the past was blooming on an uninhabited island in the sea. And that island was eroded slowly by the waves and was fated to sink into the sea within a hundred years.」
「That’s unfortunate.」
A sakura unseen by anyone, valued by none, and buried in the sea without anyone knowing. That is an unfortunate fate.
「Rocks, who loved sakuras, couldn’t accept that fate, of course. He said to the living sakura, “I’ll move you to a safe place.”」
「A safe place, huh… Wouldn’t that be a little difficult?」
I’m not very familiar with the trees, but I’ve heard from bamboo geezer several times that transplantation is difficult. It seems that there are many “conditions” that must be met, such as the geology, climate, and hours of sunlight which must be similar after replantation.
(In addition, a living sakura on an uninhabited island surrounded by the sea.)
It sounds impossible with simple human power.
「As you say, it’s just not possible by any normal method. But Rocks did this by offering his own body as a safe place.」
「H-His own body!?」
「Yes. He took the living sakura into his body and made it his own “spirit core”.」
