Chapter 298. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [69]

Almost all swordsmen belong to some school, where they are taught various techniques.

That is the common sense of this world.

However, Rose says that that common sense does not apply to the Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style.

「Hmm, where should I start from…」

She turned her body towards me, sounding troubled.

「First of all, we, the Valencia family, are the “clan loved by sakura”.」

Then Rose began to talk about the Valencia family.

「The founder of Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style, Rocks Valencia, my distant ancestor, seems to have been born in a foreign country far away. It is written in detail in the death register that he was a man who drowned in alcohol every single day and constantly chased after women. 」

「I-I see…」

Apparently, the men of Valencia family seem to like alcohol and women at the genetic level.

「He is such a hopeless man, but… once he holds the sword, he is a mighty warrior that none could hope to match. It is said that he’s been defeated only once in his long life.」

「That’s amazing… By the way, who did he lose to at that time?」

「We don’t know. The name of the opponent wasn’t written down. But it was written — “The one who toppled my “Sakura” to the ground was a true monster who seemed like the incarnation of the demonic god himself.” And… after the battle was over, it seems that they both had a drink under a Sakura tree for one night.」

「Hou… that sounds like a nice relationship.」

Drinking alcohol with your opponent after crossing swords.

Somehow, it sounded a little cool.

(But anyway… Rocks-san and Bacchus-san sound like pretty similar people.)

Maybe the blood of the ancestor is passed down the family line.

When I was thinking about that, Rose cleared her throat.

「Now, on to the main subject. Rocks Valencia loved sakura more than anything else – more than even women and alcohol. At one point, he traveled around the world to find the most beautiful sakura blossom in the world. His journey lasted for two thousand years. Finally, he met a “living sakura” with a devilish beauty, and Rocks seems to have made a “vow of succession” with that sakura.」
