Chapter 303. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [74]
「The vow of succession is basically, Rocks promised a safe haven to the living sakura for the succession of life, and the living sakura promised to pass down Rocks’ memories to his descendants for the succession of swordsmanship.」
Rose summarized the story as such.
「As I showed you earlier, we, the Valencia clan, are born with a sakura blossom pattern on the left chest – a seal of the vow, which is proof that the vow is still valid. And in truth, I already had the “memory of Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style” since infancy.」
「I see…」
「In other words, Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style is not something that someone learns. We, the Valencia clan, rely on Rocks’ memory to “recreate” it.」
She said, answering the question I asked at the start.
「I understand now…」
Rocks Valencia, the founder of Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style.
He lived for 2,000 years and met a rare living sakura on an uninhabited island in the sea.
The island was destined to sink to the bottom of the sea with the living sakura due to the erosion of the waves.
Rocks-san couldn’t accept that fate, and took in the living sakura as his own spirit core, and the sakura transferred over the memory of Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style to his descendants as a rent for lending his body.
It seems that the Valencia clan is “recreating” the Sakura Blossom Style by relying on the memory of the founder.
I simply intended to go out for light swinging practice, but I ended up hearing a magnificent story instead.
