Chapter 448 - Bear-san, Talks To Sakura-sama. ๐๐ณโฏ๐w๐ฆ๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ฐัต๐ฆ๐.c๐ผ๐ถ
At the far end of the large room, a girl dressed in a white miko* costume sat alone.
โSakura-sama, Iโm back.โ (Shinobu)
โShinobu. What about your injury?โ (Sakura)
The girl dressed in a white miko costume stood up worriedly about Shinobu.
โIโm fine. Iโm fine.โ (Shinobu)
Shinobu did some forward somersaults and backflips on the spot.
Sheโs really agile like a ninja.
โThatโs good then.โ (Sakura)
The girl sat back down, seemingly relieved.
Shinobu and I walked up to the girl. There was a cushion in front of the girl, and she asked me to sit down.
โYuna. Iโll introduce you. This is Sakura-sama.โ (Shinobu)
โMy name is Sakura.โ
Sakura greeted me with a serious look on her face, different from the age-appropriate expression of concern she had just shown for Shinobu.
Her age doesnโt look much different from Finaโs.
The expression she had shown to Shinobu earlier was gone, and she was looking at me with her beautiful face and dignified bearing, her back straight and clean.
She is a mysterious girl with long black hair that hangs over her white miko costume.
But I didnโt think that the miko who had the prophetic dream was such a little girl.
โAs you probably know, Iโm Yuna, and this is Hugging Bear.โ
I also introduced Hugging Bear which I am holding.
โI apologize for making you feel uncomfortable, Yuna-sama. Iโm sorry for calling you out like this.โ (Sakura)
Sakura apologized in a tone unusual for a child, thrust her hands in front of her, and bowed her head so deeply that her head touched the tatami.
โThatโs enough. Please raise your head.โ (Yuna)
(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)
I donโt want to look like Iโm making a child get down on her knees. Sakura slowly raised her head at my words.
โThank you very much.โ (Sakura)
โThat doesnโt mean Iโm going to accept your request just yet. I just came to talk to you because Shinobu risked her life for you.โ (Yuna)
Also, I was curious about the prediction.
โYes, Iโm grateful to Shinobu for taking on this dreadful role.โ (Sakura)
โThatโs not true. Compared to Sakura-samaโs hardship, mine was nothing.โ (Shinobu)
โThank you, Shinobu.โ (sakura)
Sakura smiled at Shinobu.
When Sakura looked at me, she had a nervous expression on her face. I wonder if Iโm that nervous. Iโm not a mascot, but I donโt think Iโm nervous about what I wear.
Sakura lets out a small breath and opens her mouth as if she has made up her mind about something.
โYuna-sama, may I hold your hand?โ (Sakura)
โMy hand?โ (Yuna)
I tried to make my bear puppet crunch. But Sakuraโs reaction doesnโt change from her serious expression. It seems that she doesnโt want to just touch my bear puppet.
โYes, if itโs not too much trouble, please.โ (Sakura)
Sakura bowed her head.
โItโs not going to be weird, is it?โ (Yuna)
โYes, itโll not be strange. I promise you that.โ (Sakura)
โThatโs fine.โ (Yuna)
โOh, thank you very much.โ (Sakura)
When I gave her permission, Sakura stood up and came over to me. She sat back down in front of me, grasped the bear puppet I offered her with a nervous expression, and slowly closed her eyes.
Sakura, holding my bear puppet, did not move. Sheโs quietly holding my bear puppet.
After a minute or so, Sakura didnโt move, and just as I was about to call out to her, tears spilled from her eyes.
โWha-, what happened!?โ (Yuna)
I panicked. I didnโt expect her to cry when she held my hand.
โWarm magical power. Beautiful magical power. Itโs definitely the same light I felt in my dream. Finally, I am able to grasp it.โ (Sakura)
Sakuraโs hand, holding my bear puppet, grasped it stronger. Her hand was small and weak. But I can feel that she doesnโt want to let go of my hand.
โFinally. Finally.โ (Sakura)
Sakura didnโt even try to wipe her tears away, but firmly held my hand to keep it from escaping.
I didnโt know what to do, so I looked at Sakura, and her eyes slowly opened.
Her expression changed from tears to a smile.
โIโm sorry, because it was what I was looking for, but I couldnโt grab it.โ (Sakura)
Sakura let go of my hand and wiped her tears.
โI was worried until I got confirmation. But Yuna-sama is definitely the light of hope in my dreams.โ (Sakura)
โHow do you know all that?โ (Yuna)
โItโs the light I dreamt about so many times, the light I tried to grasp so many times. I felt the same thing from Yuna-sama. Iโm sure of it.โ (Sakura)
Sakura replied strongly.
Then she smiled happily.
Sakura thanked me, moved away from me, and sat back down to her seat.
โSo you can really see premonitions in your dreams? And you can see everything?โ (Yuna)
โNo, I can only see what concerns me. Also, I canโt see everything. What I can see are just glimpses, I canโt do it freely even if I want to. On the contrary, I can see things even if I donโt want to.โ (Sakura)
โCan you only see your future?โ (Yuna)
โYes, I think I can see a future in which I am involved.โ (Sakura)
Apparently, she canโt see other peopleโs future.
I donโt think I can ask her to look into my future.
โCan I ask you a question?โ (Yuna)
โYes, if I can answer.โ (Sakura)
โWhat will the future hold if I donโt help?โ (Yuna)
โThe seals will be broken, the monsters will be resurrected, and many people will be killed before my eyes.โ (Sakura)
โWhat happens to the monsters after theyโre resurrected?โ (Yuna)
โI donโt know. I also died at that moment. After that, they may have been defeated. There may have been more damage. But since Iโm dead, I wonโt know what will happen in the future after that.โ (Sakura)
Does that mean youโve seen yourself die many times?
You didnโt run away? Or rather you didnโt escape?
This girl had experienced her own death, over and over and over again. But in the midst of it all, she found a light of hope, which happened to be me. A light that she could not grasp for a long time no matter how desperately she searched for. I felt like I understood the reason for her tears earlier.
โBut in that desperate dream, I found a light. The light was far away, but I felt a warm glow. The light wavered, and when I looked closely at it, I saw that it was in the shape of a beast, with a person on it.โ (Sakura)
Then she looked at Hugging Bear.
I was riding Swaying Bear, though.
โI decided to call the light of hope, but I didnโt know how to. The light wavered and moved freely. I tried my best to catch it, but I could not. But one day, I realized that it was coming from the direction of the sea.โ (Sakura)
Thatโs the same as what Shinobu told me earlier.
โHis Majesty the King has deployed his army to greet the person riding the beast coming from the sea. But the glimmer of hope vanished. He immediately pulled out his soldiers.โ (Shinobu)
Sakura repeated to me the story that Shinobu earlier narrated to me.
Eventually, Shinobu came into contact with me, the one riding the beast.
โHow do you know that the visions in your dream have changed?โ (Yuna)
I donโt know how Sakura was able to see changes in the predicted path.
โIt depends on the will of one who has great power.โ (Sakura)
โWhat do you mean by that?โ (Yuna)
โItโs like the power of the king. If the king moves, the country moves. First, I knew that the light would appear from the sea riding on a beast. So, not knowing how dangerous the beast would be, the king prepared his army to deal with it. But in my dream that night, the light went away and disappeared. Even though I cannot change the future by myself, it can change if someone with power makes a move.โ (Sakura)
If you find out that a group of monsters will be attacking you, the future wonโt change even if Sakura, who doesnโt have the power to defeat the monsters, confronts them personally. But if the king moves his army, the future will change, it seems.
โI heard from Shinobu that I had to fight Jubei-san to measure my strength. Didnโt the king believe the words of Sakuraโs hope?โ (Yuna)
Sakura shook her head.
โNot the king, but the nobles and the keepers of the old lore. They donโt like strangers entering our land. Some of them did not like the idea of asking for help from something they did not understand. His Majesty the King could not listen to my words aloneโฆโฆโ (Sakura) ๐ณ๐ง๐๐w๐ฒ๐n๐๐ซ๐๐ญ.๐om
Sakura bowed her head as if it were difficult to say.
So thatโs how it got so messy.
Itโs true that only Sakura knows what a ray of hope was. But for the rest of them, if they were told that a beast was coming from the sea, they would, of course, be suspicious.
And they donโt even know what that person was capable of.
Then came along a girl dressed as a bear riding a bear.
โAfter that, this power of mine was kept secret and only a few people knew about it, which made approaching Yuna-sama difficult.โ (Sakura)
Sakura looks apologetic.
โSo, just to be sure, are you really going to ask me, someone dressed like this, such an important task? Arenโt there other people who are going to complain?โ (Yuna)
My outfit is a bear costume. Generally, I donโt look like I can defeat a monster let alone a group.
โYouโve defeated Jubei in a serious fight. I wonโt let anyone complain. If they still doubt Yuna-samaโs power, then theyโre just a fool who doesnโt understand the importance of the nation.โ (Sakura)
Sakura tightened her grip on the small hand on her lap.
I donโt think she really wanted us to fight each other.
This was evident in the expression on Shinobuโs face when she walked into the room.
Now I want to help the girl in front of me.
If they were going to ask me to do it, they should have had Sakura approach me from the very beginning.
The first time was a mistake. She told the king, and thatโs why it turned into such a big mess.
If Sakura had come to see me in person, I may have listened to her.
And if she had spoken to me in such a serious way, I think I may have taken the job if I could.
But when I think about it, my strategy guides were children?
Like with Fina, the Black Viper, the problem of the orphanage, Noaโs request involving 10,000 monsters, Misaโs birthday party, Karina in the desert. Everything involves children.
Apparently, I have a soft spot for children.

The reason is the red text in the bookwork.

If you put it in your favorite user, it will be easier to understand.
โปSo thatโs how Sakura cried in Yunaโs arm.
