Chapter 70: Capital City of Flowers

“… Hmm”

When I opened my eyes, there was a smell of cherry blossoms. 

Something tickle on my face, I use my fingertip and pick up a petal. It seems to have been on my face while I’m sleeping. 

I saw the cherry blossoms from the thinly opened window and sigh. Is it because of the smell that I saw an old dream?

“Good morning, Arge-san” 

“Oh, good morning, Kuzuha-chan”

I greet back to Kuzuha-chan who waving her fox ears next to me. She opens the window widely and I can see the outside. The scenery blurred by the horse carriage is peaceful, it’s sunny. I looked at the winds swaying the flowers

Now that we are on the carriage that Satsuki-san arranged for us. Unlike Zeno-kun’s carriage, because it is for carrying people properly, it is luxurious and comfortable. Although there is a shake, it doesn’t matter much.

There is a proper roof, the seat is also a fluffy similar to the sofa. Satsuki-san is sitting face to face with us. As for Iris-san, she is sleeping in the coffin deposite as “luggage” with “contents”. She is sleeping on the roof.

“Please do not open too much. Satsuki-san, you are weak against direct sunlight right ?” 

“I’m sorry” 

“No, if I’m careful I will be okay. Also, we are about to reach Sakura-nomiya, so I think it’s better to see the scenery.”

Satsuki-san is smiling while saying so.

As usual, her clothes are expose and her breasts seem to burst outm, but she don’t feel like she care. Doesn’t she feel why nor dangerous, I think you should refrain from exposing your skin.

Well, she will be okay as long as she doesn’t expose to direct sunlight. She is probably quite strong with sunlight resist as a vampire, but still it is a dangerous if her body expose to sunlight.

Well, her kimono is to tight for her so she must wear it this way to get more comfortable. And I must say it suit her personality well.

“We will arrive around noon, so shall we eat at first?”

“Is that Satsuki-san’s house?”

“Yes, my home and workplace,”

“What kind of work are you doing, Satsuki-san?”

This is the first time we hear that from Satsuki-san. A coffee shop, right ?

But she wear Japanese clothes. It is a green kimono and isn’t really flashy, but it seems somewhat seductively because of her body is exposed.

When Aoba-san’s kimono was glossy by itself. Satsuki-san’s kimono is marvelous because of her own body and atmosphere.

Together with her long black hair and flower hair ornament make her look really beautiful.

Her behavior make her seems restless but in fact she is a caring person.However, we can only call her as ‘Beauty in Japanese clothes’ when she is standing quietly.

If she walking around the town with her gorgeous make up and her seductive exposed body, people will mistake her with a prostitute.

“… isn’t it a tea house?”

It was Kuzuha-chan, who ask Satsuki-san the question I thought.

The meaning of the tea house and the coffee shop probably does not change very much. Both are place we take a break and have drinks and snacks.

“No, no, there are plenty of teahouses in the Republic, but our house is a coffee shop, and we are the founder who brought in cakes and parfaits to Republic!”

Satsuki-san waved her hands exaggeratedly to deny.

I don’t know where cakes and parfaits originated in this world, but she seems to be the first to have started it in the Republic.

… It is not an unlikely story

I don’t know how long is the vampire’s lifetime, but it is probably longer than a human. It is knowledge from the previous world, but vampires aren’t looking so old.

I do not know how old Satsuki-san is, so it is a mystery, but I don’t think she have the same age as how she looks.

“Well, how old are you, Satsuki-san …?”

“It’s an ETERNAL, seventeen years old …!!”

Satsuki-san’s wink at me while raising her index finger to her lips. Certainly she feel like teens. Well, I know it’s not true.

“By the way, Iris-chan is 687 years old”

“Wow! Iris-san is over 300 years older than my mother!”

“Both of you, haven’t you said awful things behind her back?”

It seems like a girl’s age-related topic is out. Because I was a man in my previous life, I don’t know such a thing. While I felt something difficult to have girltalk in a carriage, I look outside once again.

There are not only cherry blossoms but also other colorful flowers in the scenery that I saw from the window.

This is a different world, but there are cherry blossoms. So the other flowers that are visible through this window are also flowers in my world as well.

If it was her, she surely knows what sort of flowers they are, she is really good at flower arrangements after all.

I ignore Satsuki-san and Kuzuha-chan’s exciting girltalk, I close my eyes.

It will be a while before we get to the capital. I decided to sleep a little more.
