Exiting the Japanese-style room, Kazuki was lead by Erika to a garden, which was maintained very well.

Erika, who had changed to a black lacquered geta, was walking in front, while making clanking sounds.

She stopped under a large tree, which was more than 20m tall. In a view where cherry blossom petals were fluttering about like in an illusion, she turned towards Kazuki.

Greeting you again. I am Tasuku Sumeragis daughter, Erika Sumeragi

Harold Stokes

As soon as they finished giving their names, silence descended again. Harolds speech didnt express any kind of friendly atmosphere at all.

(Or rather, when did this tone return.........)

Come to think of it, he recalled that even in the original work, Harold would always speak in a harsh tone with Erika. Perhaps, he could use polite language only in front of his superiors.

This tree is called Sakura and it is a flower which represents our, Sumeragi houses, hometown. It wasnt existing in these lands, but it seems as though when the feudal lord of those times migrated here, he planted the sapling that he had brought with him. It is a story of about 500 years ago, but now, it has become the symbol of the Sumeragi house

(TL Sakura here is in katakana)

While Kazuki was being fed up at Harolds foulmouthed tone, all of a sudden he was told about the history of the Sumeragis hometown.

Since she was troubled by the silence, for the time being, Erika started explaining about the cherry blossom tree which was in front of her eyes. It was admirable that even though her mental state wasnt calm, her spirit to serve as a guide wasnt diminished.

Honestly speaking, it was an unsuitable topic for children to speak about frankly, but for Kazuki who was familiar with cherry blossoms, it was a suitable material for him to bite onto.

It is different from the Sakura I know of
