[This feeling is just like meeting someone once and spending a day with them.]
【But Toosaka Sakura doesn't mind. 】
[Because even though I can only see my parents in the evening, they will leave a lot of their favorite sweets for me in advance.]
【You can take this opportunity to enjoy a feast. 】
【and--】
【This is a great opportunity to fulfill the promise! 】
All problems have been solved.
Toosaka Sakura took action immediately.
She first found the sweets left by her parents in a familiar place, and then carried them to the study.
The furnishings in the room were exactly the same as when I left last night.
Obviously, my father didn't notice me sneaking into the study.
This made Tousaka Sakura breathe a sigh of relief.
In no time, the little girl took the box down from the bookshelf again.
She took a bite of the sweets she had brought, then reached out her hand and touched the scabbard.
"I'm here--!" Toosaka Sakura shouted happily.
"It's really early." A response came quickly from the scabbard.
“I thought it would take a long time.”
"Hehehe~" Toosaka Sakura wiped the sweet stains from the corners of her mouth, "Mom and Dad aren't home today."
"So you can come in now!"
"By the way." The little girl looked at the ancient scabbard with anticipation in her eyes. "After sleeping all night, have you thought of anything?"
"..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't think of that." The voice of the scabbard answered truthfully, "I can't remember anything."
"That's it..."
Toosaka Sakura felt a little lost.
She thought that the other person would be like her and would be revived with full health after waking up.
Realizing that the little girl seemed a little sad, the voice in the scabbard quickly changed the subject.
"Let's not talk about this for now."
"Sakura, can I ask you some questions?"
Toosaka Sakura didn't mind the Voice of the Scabbard calling her that. She nodded and responded very seriously.
"Sure, just ask!"
"Then--" The voice of the scabbard paused.
"What kind of existence am I in your eyes?"
"Eh?"
Toosaka Sakura looked at the scabbard in front of her, held the corner of her clothes and wiped its surface.
"It's the thing that holds the sword."
"..."
[Tousaka Sakura's description gives you a vague understanding of your own situation. ]
[You try to match it with your previous feelings and further confirm your situation.]
[The so-called box is actually the thing that holds the scabbard. ]
[And your consciousness is now on the scabbard. ]
[After figuring out these things, you don’t feel happy at all, but instead feel that everything has become complicated. ]
[What is hidden in those lost past memories? ]
[You really want to understand all this, but you find that the situation is not as simple as you imagined. ]
[You are silent. 】
[And once again, Toosaka Sakura mistook this silence for something she had said wrong. ]
"that……"
The little girl looked at the scabbard, which had not made any sound since she finished speaking, and her eyes became more and more worried.
"I'm sorry, did I say something wrong again?"
"That's not the case." The voice of the scabbard responded quickly, "I just don't understand why it turned out like this."
"Can you... describe the whole process in a little more detail?"
Perhaps she saw this request as a way to resolve her inner anxiety, so Toosaka Sakura didn't think much about it and answered it directly.
She began to recall what had happened seriously.
"Well... first of all," the little girl said after sorting out her logic, "Dad took you down from the bookshelf."
"No, no!"
"It should be... taking down the box that contains you."
[You realize that Tousaka Sakura seems to have equated you with the scabbard. ]
[But you don't care about this kind of thing - after all, the other person is just a cute child. ]
【Besides, she really wanted to help herself. 】
"What happens next?" the voice from the scabbard asked.
"Then I saw you light up!" Toosaka Sakura gestured with her hands, "Blingbling~ It was so beautiful!"
"Then last night when I went to bed, I kept thinking about it and couldn't sleep... so I came to find you."
"You should still remember what happened after that, right?"
"..."
[You continue to connect Sakura Tousaka's words with the situations you can recall.]
[You soon realized that the light at that time was a symbol of the contract called "Shadow" between you and her.]
[It is very regrettable that although you know it is a contract, you have no idea why it was created and why it exists. ]
[But you know that you must have developed some kind of extremely close relationship with this little loli named Tousaka Sakura. ]
[She is the only one you can communicate with right now. ]
"Anything else?" the voice from the scabbard asked.
"No more." Toosaka Sakura shook her head guiltily.
"I wish I had met you earlier."
"That way, it can help you remember more things."
"..."
"It's not your fault." The voice from the scabbard comforted Toosaka Sakura.
"I am very lucky to be discovered by you."
"Thank you, Sakura."
"Eh……"
Being thanked, Sakura Tousaka's eyes lit up slightly - she actually liked this feeling.
The little girl seemed to remember something and continued:
"That's right~"
"Can I call you 'Mr. Ghost'?"
"Uh... you can." The voice of the scabbard was full of doubt, "but can you let me know why you want to call me that?"
"Because I can't touch you~" Toosaka Sakura laughed foolishly, "It feels like the ghost mentioned in the book!"
"..."
[Just this one sentence makes you overturn your previous conclusion. ]
[Tousaka Sakura does not equate you with the scabbard - in her eyes, you are independent beings.]
[You realize that she seems to have some outstanding potential that you have not yet discovered. ]
【That may be a powerful tool for solving the problem. 】
[It gives you a sense of the possibility that you can still figure it all out.]
【You granted her polite request.】
"Okay, no problem, you can call me 'Mr. Ghost'."
"Okay~"
Toosaka Sakura clasped her hands together, tilted her head slightly, and looked quite happy.
"Then Mr. Ghost, I actually have one more thing I want to tell you."
"Oh...what's that?"
"that is--"
Toosaka Sakura looked at the ancient scabbard lying in the box and whispered her thoughts.
"I feel like I can find a way to get you out of here."
"Ah, get it out of here?!" Mr. Ghost's voice was full of doubt, "Where to take it?"
"...I'm here." Toosaka Sakura responded cautiously.
"What did you say?!"
268. The Ghost Behind Sakura Tousaka (4k)
[Tousaka Sakura noticed your slightly excited reaction. ]
[She thought she had said something she shouldn't have said again - like asking you to leave the scabbard.]
[She begins to apologize in a panic.]
"Mr. Ghost, I'm sorry!" Toosaka Sakura became nervous, "I didn't know you didn't like coming out of here."
"I'm really sorry!"
"Please pretend I never said such a thing!"
[You realize that Tousaka Sakura seems to have misunderstood something. ]
[You don't want her to take things the wrong way.]
【You intend to explain the situation clearly.】
"Sakura, that's not what I meant." The voice of the scabbard responded, "I'm not blaming you."
"I only want to know one thing—how do you intend to transfer me from here to your place?"
"Eh?"
Sakura Toosaka seemed very happy to find that Mr. Ghost had no intention of blaming her.
She responded to the question quickly.
"As long as Mr. Ghost agrees, it should be fine~"
"..."
[You were once again shocked by Tousaka Sakura's words. ]
