Chapter 457: CH 458

My mansion in the Sanctuary was built on the spot with the best view of the Spirit Tree and Spirit Spring, the plot had a spacious yard where the lawn was green with flowers of all sorts of colors bloomed without withering.

In one part of the vast garden of the mansion, a huge tree was visible.

The tree was not very tall, but its branches extended vastly sideways.

The thick sideways stretching branches did not have a single leaf on it. In its place……

「The flower buds are getting bigger, aren’t they?」

「Oneechan, you really did your best~」

「Thank you, Dryas. I asked you for a difficult request.」

「It’s fine. I enjoyed it too.」

In front of the majestic looking tree in one section of the garden, Sophia and I looked at the Great Plant Spirit Dryas with deep emotion.

Yes, this tree with pink buds all over its branches was a Sakura Tree.

Apparently, cherry blossom trees also existed in this world, but instead of having Japanese Somei-Yoshino(ソメイヨシノ), the kind I’m used to seeing, they have varieties similar to the Yaezakura (八重桜) and the Yamazakura (山桜).

It was then that I tried asking Dryas to make a variety similar to Japan’s Somei-Yoshino.

As to why I wanted a similar breed to that, the Somei-Yoshino has a short lifespan for a tree and it is vulnerable to pests. Thanks to the Spirits, I don’t have to worry about pests inside the Sanctuary, but I wanted to solve the problem of the tree’s lifespan.

I want it to continue to bloom even long after I’m gone.

This cherry tree was made from the various requests I had.

The tree can live for over 1000 years, has a strong resistance to pests, and it has a similar flower to the Somei-Yoshino

It is able to grow and bloom with no problem even in the Sanctuary’s climate.

Yup, I look forward to seeing the flowers bloom.

「Like this, I’ll end up wanting a Weeping Cherry (Shidarezakura 枝垂) too.」

「Yeah~ Oneechan will do her best~」

I also like the Weeping Cherry Blossoms.

Actually, there was already a variety being cultivated in the orchard for the cherries, which are high quality products that are popular in Volton and the Royal Capital.

With a tree as magnificent as this, as a Japanese, I will end up wanting to do that.

「It would be nice to have a flower viewing (Ohanami) when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.」

「What do you do in a flower viewing?」

「A flower viewing? Is it like when I go enjoy the flowers in the garden from time to time?」

「Ahh, that’sー」 「Ohanami!? Are we going cherry blossom viewing?!」「ーah wait a minute Akane.」

When I was trying to explain what a cherry blossom viewing was to Sophia and Dryas, Akane suddenly interjected at the word “Ohanami”.

「What’s this Akane, did you really like watching them that much?」

「It’s not about loving the viewing, it’s more like there’s no Japanese that wouldn’t like sakura flowers! Anyway, these are cherry blossoms, aren’t they? Tell me already, Takumi.」

「Hey hey, calm down. Uhh, a flower viewing (Ohanami) is a spring event where you would usually watch the cherry blossoms while enjoying food and alcohol, I guess?」

I calmed the excited Akane, and explained to Sophia and Dryas.

「Hee~ that sounds fun. Why don’t I make it bloom and we watch the flowers?」

「No, the buds are this swollen already, so we probably won’t need to force them to bloom.」

「Ehh~ That would mean that we can’t do the viewing right away~」

Sure enough, if it’s Dryas and the Spirits, they would be able to make the cherry blossom flowers bloom immediately. However, I think of it a bit differently. I thought it was better for the cherry blossom tree to grow big in several years.

「If we do a flower viewing so soon, we won’t be able to prepare food, and you’ll want all sorts of suitable food and alcohol, don’t you?」

「T-that would be a problem. Oneechan will ask Gnome to reserve us some drinks.」

「Ah, Dryas y…. aaand she’s gone.」

「Fufu, then let’s all prepare for the flower viewing then?」

「You’re right. Sophia and I will get various drinks. We have to ask Maria and Marnie for the food.」

「You’re dumping that on them?」

「Takumi, do you want to eat Sophia and my cooking?」

「……sorry.」

「Glad you understand. Sophia, let’s go. Let’s inform Sebastian and Maribelle at the Volton Mansion too.」

When Akane said that, she took Sophia with her.

Left alone in the garden, I was stunned, wondering just how big of an event this is gonna turn out to be.

The people working in our Volton and Sanctuary mansions are all participating, and we’ll also invite Princess Mimir if she is in the Sanctuary at that time. Maybe we’ll also invite some of the most senior residents of the Sanctuary, as well as Vanga-san and Martha-san who immigrated from Bohd Village. If there’s alcohol, Doganbo-san and Golan-san would probably join in before we even know it.
