Originally, it was just a matter of touching the scene, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and Hatsuzakura actually woke up the memory of when she was still a flame because she came here again.

Qiuhua could feel that after this incident, Hatsuzakura completely opened her heart to herself, and this harvest was more precious to Qiuhua than anything else.

"Come, Hatsuzakura. Let's go somewhere. ”

After Hatsuzakura finally regained her spirits, Akika took her hand and left the shelter.

Hatsuzakura tilted her head in confusion, but Qiuhua sold it.

The place where Qiuhua was going was not too far from the shelter, and after a while, a residential area appeared in front of them. Similar to the previous shelter, although it is somewhat damaged, it has not been directly eroded by the Red Black Sea, so it is still intact.

Without a moment's hesitation, Akika took Hatsuzakura to a house.

"Here?"

"Home."

After more than a year, the house is no longer as bright as it used to be, the walls are full of cracks, and the originally well-tended yard is now a barren, presumably the house is also full of dust.

But even if the beauty of the past is lost, the familiar brick and tile make Qiuhua feel nostalgic. Every corner of the area has its own footprints of Miyuki, and countless memories will flow back to you just by looking at them.

"Qiuhua?"

Because Qiuhua didn't take a step for a long time, Chu Sakura looked over with some concern.

"Let's go inside."

Qiu Hua returned a reassuring smile, and then pushed open the door of the long-sealed house.

"Woo, excuse me~~~"

Hatsuzakura carefully looked in through the open door, her voice gradually becoming quieter.

"That's not right!"

At this time, Qiuhua shook her finger at Hatsu Sakura.

"It's 'I'm back.'"

"Huh?"

Hatsuzakura couldn't help but blink, but Qiuhua looked at her with a smile, as if she wouldn't let her in if she didn't say so.

"I'm back......"

"Hmmm! I am back. ”

After hearing Hatsu Sakura say this, Qiu Hua nodded with satisfaction.

Entering the gate and walking through the entrance, the view of the interior appeared in front of the two of them. As expected at first, the room was filled with dust, and most of the shelves in the room had fallen to the floor due to the earthquake that had occurred at the time. It makes this place look dilapidated.

"Ahh

Without showing sadness or anger, Qiu Hua just rolled up his sleeves and took out the tools he used to clean.

"Huh?"

Hatsu Sakura looked at Qiu Hua who had completely entered the housewife mode blankly, and felt that something seemed wrong, but when she saw Qiu Hua's natural actions, she felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong.

"Hatsu Sakura, can you help me?"

"Ahh

All the thoughts just now were put aside, and Hatsuzakura nodded immediately after hearing Qiuhua's request.

The two of them began to clean up the house together, and because of such a degree of damage, it was not too much to redecorate, so it was completely necessary to carry out a major cleaning. If it's an ordinary person, I'm afraid it won't take enough to spend a day, but Qiuhua is not an ordinary person, and the work efficiency is more than ten times, as for Chu Sakura, it is basically about the same as making soy sauce. Start by cleaning up the garbage in each room, from the individual room to the kitchen, bathroom, and finally the living room.

When the cleaning was finally over, the house was much cleaner, and although the cracked walls and floors, and the broken windows had not been restored, it felt completely different.

"Alright, that's it for now."

"Whew~~~"

Both of them looked at the clean house with satisfied expressions.

"Hatsuzakura, your face ......"

"Huh?"

Hearing Qiuhua's words, Hatsu Sakura wiped her face with her hands, but instead got the dust all over her face.

"Woo!"

"Now that we're done cleaning, let's take a shower."

Qiu Hua slapped his palm.

“？”

The room could indeed be cleaned, but there was no water or electricity for a long time.

"Come on."

Qiuhua led Hatsuzakura to the bathroom.

"It's good that the bathtub is intact."

After confirming that the bathtub was not broken, Qiuhua took out the props from the space bag. Such as portable water reservoirs, field heaters, portable bathrooms, water basins, soaps, and more. These are all wild survival props that Qiuhua prepared before, and as their strength increases, they gradually don't need these things, so these can be said to be Qiuhua's personal collections.

When it was ready to stop, the bathroom was fully restored to its working state.

"Come on, let's wash together."

"Ahh

After untying the knot in her heart, Hatsuzakura has no resistance to being close to Qiuhua at all.

After a while, the two of them who cleaned up their bodies sat down in the bathtub, because Qiuhua was prepared to wash with Miyuki before, so there was no problem at all in entering the two people.

After Qiuhua sat down, Hatsuzakura immediately sat down with her back to Qiuhua and rested her head on her chest.

The white mist obscured their bodies, making them all hazy, except for the sound of the two of them breathing comfortably.

"Woo~~~ so comfortable."

Hatsuzakura collapsed on her stomach, as if she was about to melt. I didn't feel like I was in the place I was in for the first time, and it was like coming back home.

"How does it feel to be at home?"

“？”

"It's the first time I've been back, but this is also Hatsuzakura's home."

"Hatsuzakura's home?"

There was a loud bang, and the water slid down from Hatsu Sakura's raised body, and Hatsu Sakura turned to face Akika.

"yes. Hatsuzakura is our family. So my home, Miyuki's home, and Shiki's home are also Hatsuzakura's home. ”

The troubles in Hatsu Sakura's heart before, even she couldn't explain her feelings clearly, it was a subtle sense of alienation. Because Shiki, Natsuo, Akika, and Miyuki all come from the same world, the sense of belonging that comes naturally when they return here is something that Hatsuzakura can't feel. Therefore, the first cherry blossoms naturally have a feeling of being excluded, and when it comes to the four seasons, they cannot share the feeling of the four seasons.

So Qiuhua, who noticed this, took her back here, cleaned the room together, took a bath together, and felt at home together.

"Ahh

I don't know if I understood Qiuhua's intentions, Hatsu Sakura dived back into the water, even her face went underwater, and bubbles came out of her mouth.

Looking at the appearance of Hatsu Sakura, Qiuhua naturally laughed, and it seemed that the troubles were solved.

After a while, the two of them returned to the living room after taking a shower, and looked at the house again, and Hatsuzakura was also happy.

"It would be nice if it could be recovered."

"Well, it would be nice if we had a chance to come back here again."

Looking around, Qiuhua expressed her gratitude for this house in her heart.

At this moment, everything around them changed, the cracked floors and walls were restored, the broken windows were restored, and everything seemed to go back to the way it used to be.

"It's ......"

"Four Seasons!"

Hatsuzakura was the first to raise her head, and Akika followed suit, and then saw the figures of Shiki and Natsuo in the distant sky.
