I was looking at my mobile phone when all of a sudden I heard crying.
Huh... Who is crying, why is it so loud? ... I want to find the treasure so that my Senpai won't find out.
And besides, I can't get a reception: ... What's wrong with my phone?
'Sakura-chan, have you lost your signal?
'Yes, why?' I replied.
'Nothing,' she asked. 'I'm just asking why your phone, unlike our kids' phones, can only call mum, dad and the police.
'I've had this phone for the past eight years and it's my favourite phone.
The boy is now my senior and I was shocked at how much he had grown up. I was pretending to be the daughter of a travelling reporter under another name at the time, but I didn't make much money at first.
Well, I used magic to pretend to be that daughter, and the girl suggested that I pretend to be her while she looked for her ''mother''.
Well, apparently, the day before I left, I found the daughter and told her to swap clothes back with me, .... .... ... The scene was -.
Wait ... I have to point the finger at who's crying.
(Backstory from eight years ago coming soon.)
(And Yuu had three childhood friends, but who was the girl Cherry was pretending to be eight years ago: ... That's for you to see)
Oh, wasn't Joshua ten years old or something?
'Excuse me, I'm not sure of his age ...' I asked him that.
'Yes, he's 12 and in sixth grade,' he told me.
'Because I know someone who is a year older than you and is in eighth grade, when is your birthday?
'Oh, I started school a year later than everyone else my age and my birthday is 30 July 2011,' he answered me.
'It's 2 January 2011,' I enquired.
'Wait, surely by no means are you referring to Sakai-chan, because two years ago, before I couldn't go to school because of a family crisis, we were classmates in the sixth grade, that's why I left for two years and when I came back I had to redo the sixth grade, that's why I'm still in public school, Sakura-chan,' he informed me.
'I heard that your classmate was an exchange student abroad in Romanian?' I asked.
'I don't know anything about that, sorry Sakura-chan,' I asked.
Oh well, he doesn't know the real reason Sakai was in that country.
It's okay, Hidaka no Yami: ... I still remember you.
I wonder if I'm the only one who knows what she's been doing for the last four months. ... I don't seem to get any messages at all, she sends me pictures but that's it.
But ....
But ... I want to find out the cause of the crying as soon as possible.
And Joshua is the same age as Sakai. ... This is a new discovery.
Now, let's go and look for the treasure.
30 minutes later.
Joshua made a question to me, 'Sakura-chan, aren't you tired?
'No, I'm not tired, yawn yawn yawn, let's go look for it.
'You must be tired, Sakura-chan. ... 'I'll carry you,' he replied.
No, wait, he said, he'll carry me. ... A boy besides Senpai is going to carry me.
Oh, he can see my height. ... I forgot.
I mean, to him I am just an eleven-year-old girl, not a person with magical girl powers.
And he picked me up.
And he kept walking with me in his arms.
I fell asleep right away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~''~~~~'~'''''
Are you already asleep? ... You were that tired.
'Joshua, is she asleep?' Fukuhara Chan asked me.
'Oh, she's sleeping, so keep quiet, Fukuhara-chan,' I demanded.
'But she can easily expose your secrets that I know about you by touching you around your bare chest,' she countered to me.
"......"
And we went on our way.
'Hey ... I don't mean to bug you, but the girls' club at my high school ... Do you know Yuki's sister, Kotori San, the head of that club?
'Yeah, yeah, she's my sister, born on 20 January 2009, and she's a genius, she's carried her mother's blood in her family since she was very young,' I said.
" Uh-huh, Actor-kun, .... I feel pity for you already ...."
"Acha."
" Hira chan you know better than that don't you" Kotori shouted at her.
" Aaah, Kotori gomen, please don't take my blood anymore," Fukuhara-chan pleaded on the floor.
'Nee-san she hasn't done anything wrong,' I told her.
" All right, ... I forgive you. ... But don't use blood for the rest of the day. ... If you want it back, come to the flat by the morning," I told her.
And Hira-San left.
"Why are you carrying Sakura-chan?" "Isn't she a bit heavy?" She asked.
I answered, ' Puff Puff ... She' s actually not that heavy.
I see, she doesn't know how tall she really is, so in her eyes it looks like I'm carrying someone not much shorter than me, so that's why she's worried.
One hour later.
'Bye. ... Oh, Sakura is waking up already, so I'll see you later 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'''''
Yawn ... That was a nice nap.
Argh, I forgot about that. ... I'm still in his arms, and they're not my senior's arms, so put me down.
I grabbed his sleeve and pulled.
Then he lowered me to the ground saying, 'I'm sorry, I'll put you down now.'
Hey, I can feel Kotori's presence here since a while ago.
Nah, it's nothing.
I turned to him and uttered, "Joshua, hurry up and let's go find the treasure."
Okay."
And we kept walking around the estate.
*sob*.
That girl is crying again. ... I guess we have to look for her too.
It doesn't look like she's the real treasure.
"...."
Wait, why is Joshua looking at me? Did I do something wrong?
But I have to get closer to Senpai.
"......."
"Oh, Sakura, ... It's been a long time," someone called out to me.
"Who are you?"
" eerie Sakura ... I'm Naomi... I was in primary school not so long ago. ... No, I am, but I failed five times, so I'm still here. ... Why~?"
'Oh, Naomi, I see, but I remember we went to completely different public schools, I remember I went to school in Shibuya, and we lived in the same flat for a bit back then, but I moved away, sorry' I stated.
Oh, yeah, Naomi's gender is still a mystery, so I don't know if they' re a boy or a girl, and Naomi will be transferring to our class next week, naomi's a genius who studied hard for the high school entrance exams and finally got in, right?
'Wait, ... Do these two know each other?'
"......"
Then the crying continued and became louder.
"Oh ... My heroes have come to save me." There were shouts of pleasure.
What just happened and who is it?
"Sakura ... Who do you think that girl is crying all the time?" " I mean, who is that hero she's talking about?" Joshua asked me.
Yeah. ... 'I think she's talking about someone special in her heart' I lied to him.
The truth is, I knew it was Senpai who had awakened her, and I could sniff out that he had kissed her.
Yes, I am or was a human bearing the bloodline of a cursed dragon. Yes, I can bear children from my womb. I am a genuine human with a cursed dragon's bloodline, but until that embarrassing day, my lineage was not broken. *she is talking about no longer being pure*
but because I'm happy about it. ... I should go back to the flat and see Yuu.
"I'm leaving, bye bye Joshua," I told him.
"Already?"
"Yeah..."
At that moment, the ground suddenly shook and I thought I had fallen thousands of kilometres downwards.
"Are you okay, Sakura?" a dragon asked me.
" Ha..."
End of Chapter 35, Part 1.
Part 2 begins.
Wait, the dragon is talking to me. I thought that when I became a dragon, I would lose the ability to talk to people and become a monster, so why did it talk to me?
' I asked the dragon.
'But first allow me to transform into human form,' the dragon replied to me.
The dragon then flew to the ground, and when he had me standing on the ground again, he began to speak the following words.
(The words the dragon is saying are a secret.)
Then a bright light fell on the dragon and transformed it.
Then a young woman with large breasts appeared out of it.
Wow. ... The dragon has turned into a woman. ... If my Senpai saw her, she'd faint. ..... .because he's going to marry over 20 different girls.
No way. ... Perhaps she's one of the brides that senpai will marry in the future. ...
(In case you're wondering, she's referring to her senpai as the protagonist of this series: ... If she's talking about another senior, I'll tell you. ...)
Sakura-sama. ..... .it's been fourteen thousand years,' the busty monster suddenly said.
'Puff, What do you mean fourteen thousand years? I was born in 1945, not thousands of years ago, and my family has been around for fifteen thousand years.
'Then what happened to her?
'But she was turned into a worm and part of her was fed to the heirs for thousands of years, and I ate her whole.
'Don't worry, it is my belief that she was no longer in this world. 'But I can feel her in you, I am the princess of the Dragon World, born five thousand years ago, my name is yuka and it is so nice to finally meet Miss Cherry, of the Demon Tribe,' she introduced herself to me.
'I'm a human, and when the Demon King's daughters are in the human world, I take care of them as a mage, a noble of the demon kingdom, so to speak,' I explained to Yuka.
"I understand."
(Sorry to bug you but when can we return to Yu pov)
(Not until chapter 37)
Then, one of the demons I just spoke of appeared from the shadows.
"Is that Yuu-kun's blood still flowing tonight?" Fukuhara wondered to herself.
Yes. ... Hira was born human and suddenly unleashed her vampire powers at the age of 11, one of them became a Day Walker vampire the other in her late 20s, but only one of them remains human and she is not the child of the Demon Lord's mistress. Because they have the same family name, but these sisters have a secret that no one knows. ... I don't know that one either.
Oh, yeah, Joshua's teacher happened to be one of the Demon Lord's daughters.
(And Hira is the crown princess of the demon nation.)
But...
"Let's find that girl, Joshua. ... 'I changed my mind,' I informed him.
And we kept walking.
And after a few minutes, I heard a naughty voice.
" Ah, your ____ is so good."
"Wait, I didn't do anything bad to you," the boy shouted at the girl.
" pardon me."
Phew. ... Is she a strange little girl, that one?
Or a treasure?
(((Or is he a treasure?)))
Joshua and Sakura rushed to the basement of the mansion, but found nothing there.
'Earlier I heard a girl talking to someone, so why is there no one here?
'Hmmm ... 'I wish there was another girl who could help me,' Hira answered honestly.
"........"
Hira then stared at Joshua with a weird look on her face, as if something was about to attack her.
"I selected you, you know."
"Huh. ... I'm a *boy*."
"....."
Not caring about that, Sakura continued her treasure hunt.
Sakura-sama, I found a dairy journal written by the previous owner of this manor four hundred years ago.
'I can only thank the Lord for giving me all this manor and exempting me from military service.
If anyone finds it, I have been told to write down everything I think is important, but who would find it in this day and age?
20 February 1625 ( Edo-era).
I rescued a beautiful young woman from drowning in a lake, she was very attractive. But she is the daughter of my former superior, so I am too terrified to make a wooing move on her.
31 May 1629.
My wife told me she was conceiving a boy. At last my heir has been created.
The man seems to change between 1625 and 1629,' Sakura said."
28 November 1650.
With only ten years to go, my son does not know that I am his ''father'' and that as a soldier in my service, nothing can stop me.
Years?
I forget what year it was. ..... . two or three centuries. ... It was too long ago to count. Thanks to that, I have seen my son grow old and his children and their children. Hmm, a girl will be the next lord of this manor. ... Wait, I'll take a break and wait a century for this heir to be born."
" Sakura-sama ... That's what man of the dairy was saying, do you believe it?" Yuka prompted her.
"Of course..."
