Chapter 466: Chapter 462

Chapter 462

=====

Author’s Note 1:

It’s a bit short.

=====

Ruimin steered the horse.

I hugged Ruimin-san firmly so as not to be shaken off.

After a short ride, we entered the village and stopped in front of a house.

“We’re here.”(Ruimin)

I slowly dismount from the horse.

I feel a little wobbly.

“Are you all right?” (Ruimin)

“Yes. I’m fine.” (Sakura)

So this is the village where Ruimin-san lives. It’s very different from our town. The people in the village are looking at us.

When I saw the different buildings and clothes, I was reminded that I was really in a different place.

“Sakura-chan, over here.” (Ruimin)

As I look around, Ruimin-san calls out to me.

Ruimin-san is standing at the entrance of the house in front of me.

I’m going to go to Ruimin-san’s place.

“This house?” (Sakura)

“It’s Grandpa’s house. Grandpa’s over here. Come in.” (Ruimin)

Ruimin-san went inside the house. I followed her.

“Pardon the intrusion.” (Sakura)

I gave my greetings and entered the house.

It’s different from the house we lived in. It’s a strange feeling.

I followed Ruimin-san down the corridor, and I saw two staircases, one going up the second floor and one for the basement. Ruimin-san went down the lower stairs.

There was a large room at the bottom of the stairs where Mumroot-sama was inside.

“Grandpa, I’m back.” (Ruimin)

“Sorry for bothering you.” (Sakura)

Mumroot-sama looks at us as we enter the room.

“So I heard about the monsters coming, is that true?” (Mumroot)

“Yes. When Swaying Bear-sama and Hugging Bear-sama noticed the approaching monsters, Yuna-sama, and the others stayed behind to fight it, while they sent me here because it was too dangerous.” (Sakura)

“I see. If monsters have come, sending you here is a much better option. The less anxiety the girls have, the better their condition is to fight.” (Sakura)

It pains me whenever I’m the cause of people’s anxiety.

I am a helpless being who can do nothing.

“Grandpa, you don’t have to say it like that.” (Ruimin)

“It’s hard to fight while protecting someone. Even if you remain in the safest spot on the island, they will still be worried about you in the back of their minds since the monsters may attack you at any given moment. That’s what fighting monsters are all about.” (Mumroot)

“That’s right, but…” (Ruimin)

“It’s okay, Ruimin-san. I understand, and that’s why I’m here.” (Sakura)

It would be nice to reduce everyone’s burden even a little. That’s all I can do at the moment.

“Sakura-chan…” (Ruimin)

“But the demons are gathering on the island……. We’ll have to hurry.” (Mumroot)

“Mumroot-sama. Is this a sign that the seal will be broken?” (Sakura)

“It’s a possibility. On the other hand, I don’t know why monsters are gathering for other reasons.” (Mumroot)

I feel that the resurrection of the serpent is getting closer to reality with your words, Mumroot-sama.

I’m scared.

I’m afraid of dying, but I don’t want to see everyone else die either. I don’t want that sad dream to become a reality.

“Grandpa. Should I check the situation with Yuna-san?” (Ruimin)

“The girls are probably fighting monsters right now. We’ll just get in the way. If anything happens, she will contact us. So, in the meantime, we have to prepare to strengthen the seal quickly.” (Mumroot)

Mumroot-sama is right.

We should not interfere with Yuna-sama’s fight by contacting her.

“Is there anything I can help, Mumroot-sama? I want to return as soon as possible. If there’s anything I can do, I’ll do it, just let me know.” (Sakura)

“Well then, young lady, I need you to put away the carpets over there.” (Mumroot)

There were many carpets where Mumroot-sama pointed.

It has a beautiful patterned image on it.

“I was looking for a carpet with a magic circle on it that will strengthen the seal.” (Mumroot)

The pattern on the carpet here is said to be a magic circle.

There are so many of them, aren’t there?

And it seems he is looking for it from this.

This will be a lot of work.

“Sakura-chan, if you’re putting away the carpets. Roll it up like this, then please put it on that empty shelf over there.” (Ruimin)

“Got it.” (Sakura)

I followed Ruimin-san’s instructions to roll up the beautifully patterned carpets and put them away on the shelves.

Small carpets were put away alone, and large carpets were put away with Ruimin-san.

“Grandpa, you still can’t find it?” (Ruimin)

Mumroot-sama would unroll a new carpet, saying, “No,” or “Not this one”.

“I used it a long time ago.” (Mumroot)

“Well, this wouldn’t have happened if you had organized it properly.” (Ruimin)

The room has lots of shelves and plenty of carpets.

Indeed, I don’t know what kind of magic carpet it is, since it doesn’t have a name on it.

“I don’t usually use that magic circle. I can’t help but forget where I ended up putting it.” (Mumroot)

“That’s why you should have organized it properly. It would have been easier if you wrote the name of the magic circle on the carpets.” (Ruimin)

Indeed, looking at the current situation, I think Ruimin-san is right. Any moment now, the serpent may come back to life. I’m inclined to want them to hurry up.

“I know. I’m thinking of doing it someday.” (Mumroot)

“That, you already said that to grandma, and yet, you wouldn’t do it no matter how many times she told you to.” (Ruimin)

“I was thinking of doing it in a few years.” (Mumroot)

“I’ll help you clean it up this time, so let’s find it quickly.” (Ruimin)

“Okay. I get it . But now it’s better to look for the magic circle to strengthen the seal. We don’t have time for anything else.” (Mumroot)

“Grandpa……” (Ruimin)

Ruimin-san complained and put the carpet away.

“In a few years? ……” (Sakura)

I thought about the next few years that I heard from Mumroot-sama’s mouth.

What is going on with the serpent? What is happening to the country? And I… If something happens to Yuna-sama, I cannot return to the country.

The thought of that makes me nervous.

“Sakura-chan, what’s wrong?” (Ruimin)

Ruimin-san noticed that my hand had stopped and asked.

“No, I just wondered what the country would be like in a few years if we hadn’t been able to reseal the serpent.” (Sakura)

“It’s okay, because Yuna-san is there.” (Ruimin)

Ruimin-san cheered me up.

“Ruimin-san, you believe in Yuna-sama, don’t you?” (Sakura)

“Yeah, because Yuna-san is so strong that she can beat the giant snake.” (Ruimin)

Ruimin-san seems to believe in Yuna-sama.

I also believe in Yuna-sama.

“Besides, Grandpa will take care of it.” (Ruimin)

“I will do everything I can. I’m not telling you that to be reassured. But you must have hope.” (Mumroot)

“Yes, thank you.” (Sakura)

I moved my hand, which had stopped.

Then Ruimin-san asked me.

“What do you want to do in the future, Sakura-chan?” (Ruimin)

“The future?” (Sakura)

Will I continue to live as a priestess?

However, in this short time, I met Yuna-sama, met Ruimin-san, went through the mysterious door, and had many experiences.

“I don’t know when it will be, but I’d like to travel the world.” (Sakura)

Such are my thoughts.

But I have to be strong. And that is the main problem.

“But I can’t fight, so it may not be possible.” (Sakura)

I am only ten years old. If I learn a lot from Shinobu, will I become stronger?

“Then I’ll come with you.” (Ruimin)

“Ruimin-san?” (Sakura)

“I will do my best to protect you, Sakura-chan, as you grow up and become stronger.” (Ruimin)

“I’ll do my best to practice my magic.” (Sakura)

I would have to have some magical talent for that, though.

It seems that my father couldn’t use magic, but my mother could. I’m sure my mother’s blood was flowing within me, and I could use magic.

Besides, my uncle told me that I look like my mother.

So maybe I can use magic too. Then, it might be nice to go around the world with Ruimin-san.

But will that be in 5 years at the earliest?

“Ruimin-san, can you wait for me for about five years?” (Sakura)

“Yeah, I’ll wait 10 or 100 years.” (Ruimin)

No, I’ll be dead within 100 years.

“To do that, we need to defeat the giant serpent first, though.” (Ruimin)

“Yes” (Sakura)

We must do the best we can now in hopes of that future.

Shortly after that, we were able to find the magic circle that could reinforce the seal.

However, another problem has arisen.
