264. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [35]

God speed’s sword drawing, Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style – Lightning Sakura.

Bacchus-san demonstrated the godspeed sword drawing of Lightning Sakura and returned the sword into the scabbard.

(…Beautiful.)

A gentle return to the scabbard like the flow of a clear stream after a flash of lightning.

I was captivated by the beauty and sublimeness.

「This is the basic sword-drawing technique of Sakura Blossom One-Sword style, Lightning Sakura. Go on, give it a try.」

He turned towards me.

(All right, let’s do it.)

I exhaled a deep breath and concentrated my mind.

(The points to focus on are the angle of the sword drawing, the bend of the arm, and the snap of the wrist.)

A number of clues that I grasped a while ago.

I carefully went over them one by one, and applied them to my own swordsmanship.

When a clear image of the movement formed in my mind, I drew my sword at that moment.

「Sakura Blossom One Sword Style – Lightning Sakura」

At that moment, a thunderclap-like flash ran from left to right.

「I-I did it!」

It did not match Bacchus-san’s original Lightning Sakura.

However, the “pressure” of my Iai-slash was already approaching his.

「Hou… you saw it only once, and yet it’s this close to the “genuine”. The speed fell a little short, but… Not bad at all! Way to go, kid!」

He laughed heartily and patted me on the back.

「T-Thank you.」

I felt happy.

I was simply happy that someone recognized my swordsmanship.

The effort piled up over a billion years.

I feel like I was finally rewarded for it. A hot fire burned in the depths of my heart.

What’s more, I was praised by Bacchus Valencia, the 16th legitimate successor, who was once hailed as the “strongest swordsman in the world”.

(Alright, alright, alright! I can still become much, much stronger.)

As I ascertained the “feeling of growth”, I felt indescribable gazes gathered on my back.

(What?)

When I slowly turned back suspiciously,

「「「「「……」」」」」

I saw Ria and everyone else staring at me with a stunned expression.

And I was not the only one who noticed those gazes.

「Nuu, what’s the matter? Why are you not practising? Did you accidentally miss it?」

When Bacchus-san tilted his head asking that,

「S-Sorry. Could you demonstrate it more slowly again?」

Ria said apologetically.

「Very well. Peel your eyes open so you don’t miss it this time, okay?」

He dropped his center of gravity again, without being particularly offended.

The next moment,

「Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style – Lightning Sakura」

A slightly slower flash ran across the sky.

「That’s how you do it. Now try it.」

After the demonstration, Bacchus-san encouraged them to do so. But the girls formed into a circle and started to discuss amongst themselves.

「「……?」」

Seeing the strange behavior, Bacchus-san and I looked at each other and tilted our heads.

About a minute later.

On everyone’s behalf, Rose stepped forward.

「Grandfather…“Normal humans” like us can’t see your Lightning Sakura. And of course, it is impossible to learn what we can’t see. Basing the training on “inhumans” like you two is not going to work.」

When she said so somewhat astonishedly, everyone behind her nodded simultaneously.
