240. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [11]

When we entered the “Sakura Store” which was just around the corner, a lively space spread before us.

「T-This is amazing…」

Large ornaments resembling sakura trees were placed in various parts of the store.

Colorful sakura blossom petals were studded all over the store.

And that’s not all.

(Sakura rice cracker, sakura wine, sakura folding-fan, sakura sword, sakura towel, huh… Seems like you can get just about everything sakura…)

Sakura, sakura, and more sakura everywhere you look. All kinds of products were designed based on sakura.

「E-Even so, there’s a great number of people here.」

「It seems to have increased even more than when I used to live here.」

Ria and Rose seem to be overwhelmed by the number of people who filled the store.

「Fufu, it’s kind of fun like a festival!」

「T-That’s true, but… It’s hard to move around as a group of six in this crowd.」

「To be honest, it’s already pretty hard though…」

Hearing the remarks of Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai, the president said,

「Let’s see. So, why don’t we all buy each of our favorite sakura product individually and then show them to each other outside?」

She came with that good idea.

Then, we decided to do individual shopping in the Sakura Store.

「Well, what shall I buy?」

After parting with everyone, I slowly walked down the narrow passage.

Unlike everyone else, I had a “limit”.

It is, of course, my wallet.

(Speaking of, how much did I bring…?)

I took out the frog wallet from my pocket, and confirmed my fighting power just in case.

(I only have 15 thousand gold on hand, huh…)

This is all the cash that I can use in this spring training camp, and the remainder of the winning prize from last year’s regional Sword Festival.

(…This is precious money. I have to be careful on how I spend it.)

After confirming my own attack power, I finally moved on to inspecting the enemy’s fighting power.

(T-This is quite pricey…)

Even a shirt or a handkerchief is slightly over 3,000 gold.

This must be the so-called “tourist price”.

(I have to find something with a cheap enough price and decent design.)

After looking around the store for some time, I finally found the one that matched the conditions.

(…All right, I’ve decided on this!)

A light cherry-colored wristwatch, 2000 gold.

The price is modest, and the appearance is stylish.

Then I paid at the register and safely got a sakura product for myself.

(And that’s done with… I think I’ll look around the store a little until everyone is done shopping.)

As I went down the aisle along the flow of people, I found everyone else.

Rose was staring at a folding fan with a serious expression, and the president was trying on various hats happily.

Lilim-senpai tried on a variety of sunglasses in high spirits, whereas Ferris-senpai was looking at accessory cases.

And,

(…Ria?)

She stared at a glass case with a difficult expression on her face.

(She seems to be quite focused…)

Even as I approached her, she showed no signs of noticing me at all.

(What on earth are you staring at?)

As I followed Ria’s line of sight, there was a beautiful sakura-coloured ring giving off a brilliant shine.
