Chapter 302. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [73]
「H-He took in the sakura and made it into a spirit core? …Is that really possible?」
Spirit core. It is a mass of power that resides in the human soul.
A wide variety of existences have been confirmed as sources of power, such as ancestral spirits, phantom beasts, and other spirits, but… I still don’t know anything in detail.
「Well, who knows. It’s a note written over 2,000 years ago, after all. It’s hard to believe everything that is written.」
Rose shrugged her shoulders.
「I don’t know if there was an actual living sakura, but… there is no doubt that Rocks made a vow with a “something” that wasn’t human.」
Rose stated, with a serious expression.
「According to the note, the living sakura expressed deep gratitude to Rocks, who provided a safe haven. At the same time, it promised to “pass over his memory” as rent payment.」
「Pass over his memory?」
「That’s right. The living sakura promised to pass on the memories that Rocks wanted to hand down to his offspring and descendants.」
「Wait… is that perhaps!?」
If it’s a memory that a “swordsman” wants to hand down… then it can’t be anything else but that thing.
「You guessed it. The “memory” chosen by Rocks, the secret sword inherited by the legitimate successor – Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style.」
