Relay World, Mage Tower.

Qiu Hua is doing housework alone, and even with magic dolls, she is still used to doing it herself. In this way, she was able to calm down better when she repeated familiar labor.

It was very quiet today in the Mage Tower, as most of the people had gone out. Shiki and Natsuo went to the sovereign world together, Miyuki went back to see her friends by herself, Huangquan and Kagura returned to their original world, and Anna and Mikoto went to the training ground to improve their strength. Now the only thing left in the family is himself and Hatsuzakura.

After cleaning the room, Qiu Hua walked to the kitchen and thought about what to do for lunch and dinner today, when she caught a glimpse of the small head emerging from the corner of the wall.

"Hatsuzakura?"

As soon as she turned around, Hatsu Sakura's head shrank back.

"Hmm~~~"

Continuing to walk forward, he felt the gaze from behind him again, and turned back to Hatsuzakura and shrank back.

"Hide and seek?"

Probably not, right?

"Are you hungry?"

But it's just been breakfast.

Qiu Hua held her cheeks and thought about the reason why Hatsu Sakura was secretly looking at her. Speaking of which, it's rare for the two of them to spend time alone like this.,It seems that Hatsuzakura hasn't taken the initiative to get close to her.。

I used to think that this child was afraid of life, could it be that he was actually afraid of me?

Thinking of this, Qiuhua felt devastated.

"Huh?"

Probably because the appearance of being hit was too obvious, Hatsuzakura couldn't help but make a sound.

"Hatsuzakura~~~"

was seized by Qiuhua, and Hatsuzakura was shortened by Qiuhua.

"Whew!"

"Don't be afraid~~~"

Qiu Hua approached with a kind smile that no one could refuse.

"Woo~~~"

So Hatsuzakura was like a cat basking in the sun, and the whole person lay down softly.

"Whew!"

But the next moment, Hatsuzakura remembered that she was a canine...... Wrong! I'm not here to be coquettish.

“……”

“？”

Qiuhua looked at Hatsu Sakura's tail wagging around, as if she was very anxious.

"Is there anything bothering you?"

“……”

Hatsuzakura pouted and didn't speak.

"Is it the four seasons?"

"Ahh

Looks like that's right.

"How did Qiuhua know?"

"Well."

Because most of the time the first cherry blossoms think about the four seasons, as long as you talk about the four seasons, you can't go wrong.

"What are you worried about, can you tell me?"

Even though Hatsu Sakura should have wanted to tell herself about it, Qiu Hua still thoughtfully asked the other party first.

"Woo~~~ Okay."

Sure enough, Hatsuzakura nodded.

"Shiki and Xia Xu went back together, Miyuki also went back, and Qiuhua went."

After saying this, Hatsuzakura closed her mouth and did not answer the question at all. If it's the four seasons, I'll probably ask gently at all or wait until the other party has to say it, but it's autumn flowers here.

Ahh

In a way that the four seasons couldn't understand at all, Akika sensed Hatsuzakura's thoughts.

"Hatsuzakura wants to find the four seasons?"

"Woo! Not at all! The first cherry blossoms won't bother the four seasons. ”

"Hatsuzakura is such a good boy."

Qiuhua stretched out her hand to Hatsu Sakura's head, and Hatsuzakura subconsciously resisted, but still let Qiuhua move.

"But today I'm going to be a bad boy!"

“？”

"I'm going to look for the four seasons, do you want Hatsuzakura to go with you?"

"Ahh

It sounded very spiritual.

So the two of them immediately set off and teleported to the sovereign world of the four seasons, which is also the world from which Qiuhua was born.

The place where the two of them appeared was above the ruins of the city, surrounded by groups of destroyed buildings, because it was a long time later than Shiki and Xia Xu when they arrived, and Shiki and Xia Xu were no longer around.

Qiu Hua had some guesses in his heart about the place they might go, but it was a place that belonged to the four seasons and Xia Xu, and they couldn't be disturbed. Fortunately, Qiuhua said that she was going to be a bad boy today, so she hid it from Hatsu Sakura.

"The seasons aren't here."

"Woo~~~"

As soon as her brain was hot, she ran over, Hatsuzakura didn't think about it that much just now, and she really bothered them if she really wanted to find Shiki, which made her not want to go to Shiki again.

"Let's walk around first."

"Whew!"

Hearing Qiuhua's thoughtful proposal, Hatsuzakura immediately agreed.

The two of them hovered over the ruins, and their eyes were full of devastation, and it was hard to say that it was a good place to relax.

Because he wanted to solve Hatsuzakura's troubles, he shouldn't have wasted time here, but returning to the city where he lived in the past again made Qiuhua can't help but be attracted to attention. I was here when the four seasons were resurrected before, but because I cared about the things of the four seasons, I didn't have time to care about it. Coming back again made Qiuhua feel more deeply.

Flying wordlessly for a while, Akika and Hatsuzakura approached the original core.

Memories of the past resurfaced in Qiuhua's mind, and it was here that he rescued the four seasons from the heart of God and burned his own life. Even if it was the painful feeling of losing everything, if she was given another chance, she would make the same choice. As long as she thought that Shiki was rescued because of this, she felt very warm, and the pain became a tender memory.

"Hatsuzakura remembers this!"

At this time, Hatsu Sakura's voice interrupted Qiu Hua's thoughts, and she saw Hatsu Sakura covering her head as if she was in great pain, and her mouth kept repeating words like "I remember, I remembered".

"Hatsu Sakura!"

Akika tensed up and tried to get closer, but before that, Hatsuzakura suddenly reversed direction.

"It's here! It's here! ”

Hatsuzakura hurried all the way, and Qiuhua immediately chased after her. At this time, Hatsuzakura no longer had the headache she had just now, but her expression was extremely serious, and there seemed to be a feeling in her eyes that was confirming.

Eventually, Hatsuzakura's speed slowed down, and she finally stopped at a damaged place that was not in ruins.

It's a sanctuary.

If Miyuki and her friends were here, they would immediately recognize that this was the place where they had taken refuge in the first place.

If Shiki was here, he would have recognized it immediately, this is the place where Qiu Hua came after rescuing him.

"Hatsuzakura remembered, it was Hatsuzakura who absorbed Qiuhua's life, and Hatsuzakura was a bad boy."

Hatsuzakura lowered her head, not daring to look at Qiuhua's face.

Ah, I see. So Hatsuzakura doesn't dare to come close to herself? Even she herself didn't realize the reason, just subconsciously feared.

Hearing Hatsu Sakura's words, Qiu Hua also communicated some things.

"Thank you, Hatsuzakura."

"Huh?"

"It was Hatsuzakura who fulfilled my wish."

At that time, Akika took the four seasons to a safe place, and incorporated everything about herself into the first cherry blossoms that were still flames as a driving force. If you want to blame Hatsuzakura for this, it's absolutely impossible.

"Luckily, Hatsuzakura is here."

It was Hatsuzakura who rescued Shiki at the end.

"Ahh

Hatsuzakura finally looked up.

"Good job. Good job"

Qiuhua touched the head of the first Sakura, and this time the first Sakura would not dodge anymore.
