395. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [166]

At the end of Bacchus-san’s line of sight was Ria on her back.

Her appearance, stained with blood, was so painful to look at that I instinctively wanted to look away.

But I strengthened my heart and looked at Ria closely.

I saw “tree roots” wrapped around her ankles. And her abdomen slowly moving up and down.

「Ria…?」

I dragged my heavy body and slowly moved my legs.

Her smooth skin had regained tension and complexion. As I listened closely, I heard a small breathing sound.

「Ha, haha… Is this… a dream?」

I put my hand on her chest to check for a heartbeat. I felt a rhythmic, strong heartbeat.

「No way… Is this… real?」

I trembled before the unexpected miracle. Her eyelids opened up slightly, revealing her beautiful azure eyes.

「Nhmm…? A, llen…?」

「Ria!」

「W-Whoa, hey!?」

I impulsively hugged Ria tightly.

「Thank goodness…. Thank goodness…」

Various emotions swelled in my heart endlessly. Large beads of tears rolled down my cheeks.

「H-Hey, Allen!? There are people around us. Things like this should only be done when we are alone… Eh, wait? …Why am I alive?」

After Ria’s face turned bright red, she tilted her neck in confusion.

She probably hasn’t grasped the situation as she just woke up.

「Oh, about that–」

As I tried to explain the situation briefly,

「Huh? I… eh… Where are the enemies!?」

「We were hit by an unknown poison, and then… Oh right, Deal and Von!」

Rose and the president quickly jumped to their feet.

「…Oh my? What was that just now? Was that a dream?」

「It felt like I was woken up by the 100 Million Year Sakura… My head feels all fuzzy, though.」

Following that, Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai also slowly sat upright.

「Rose, president, Lilim-senpai, Ferris-senpai!」

The purple pattern on their bodies had disappeared completely. And their ankles were wrapped with the same tree roots as Ria.

「Barara, ra… Gahagaha…. You finally woke up… Everyone looks to be fine.」

Bacchus-san coughed some more blood, but there was relief in his expression.

Rose, who has an accurate grasp of his ability, showed a strong reaction to his voice.

「This “root”… Grandfather, did you use〈100 Million Year Sakura〉!?」

As soon as Rose understood the situation, her face started turning pale.
