A woman stepped down from the luxuriously decorated carriage.

She was a young girl dressed in a very gorgeous kimono with long black hair. Although she looked young, her temperament was by no means extraordinary.

but.

Upon seeing this person, the first person couldn't help but frown.

'This guy…'

Of course he remembered the face of the person in front of him.

She appeared before him countless times and said many things that were hard to understand, and even tried to get close to Hatsune Miku.

This was something that Accelerator, who was still quite arrogant at the time, definitely couldn't stand.

He killed her, but she would reappear in front of him after he killed her. This happened countless times, and then he never saw her again.

Previously, it seems that this woman also appeared in Hatsune Miku's mental state at that time.

Is it possible…

"Just as I expected... It is truly an honor to meet a powerful figure like you in this era."

"He saved all the people in the world."

"...You know quite a lot."

One-way clicked its tongue in displeasure.

"So, what brings you to a place like this?"

"In order to put an end to this feud that has lasted for countless years."

She raised her head and looked at Hatsune Miku and the huge dark tree in front of her.

"In the ancient times of this world, there once existed two divine trees that maintained the boundary between heaven and earth."

"One Tree is responsible for bringing forth the 'yin' side of the world, while the other tree is responsible for bringing forth the 'yang' side of the world."

"After an unknown period of time, the two trees developed their own deities... and then humankind was born naturally."

Depicting a story from the ancient times, Huanji reveals the truth behind it all.

"The sacred tree, which governs the 'yang' side of the world, is revered as a sacred tree because its properties bring people auspiciousness and happiness."

This is "Senbonzakura".

"However... over time, people discovered the ancient tree responsible for revealing the other side of the world, the 'yin' side."

That is the other sacred tree opposite the sacred tree named "Senbonzakura".

"Because it is responsible for the 'yin' aspect, this tree only evokes feelings of sorrow and despair, and people who have lived near it for a long time have gone mad as a result... So people made a wrong choice."

It is precisely because of the balance between Yin and Yang that the world can be called the world. This is the most fundamental principle that has been passed down from ancient times.

However, the human race that emerged after that time did not understand any of this.

In their view, of the two sides of Yin and Yang, only the divine tree that can release the cleansing aspect that makes them feel clean should exist in the world, while anything that releases a foul aura should be defined as evil.

"War has broken out."

At this point, Huanji's expression also began to turn sad.

"People chose to be enemies of this sacred tree in order to make things they disliked disappear, and to make the areas covered by the sacred tree, which was originally controlled by the dark side, accessible to humans."

"It absorbed a great deal of resentment from humans, and then this sacred tree was constantly suppressed and sealed by humans, which eventually led to it accumulating countless filth."

"The divine tree itself works tirelessly for this, yet... humanity remains unsatisfied, and even attempts to sever the roots of this divine tree, wanting to forever eradicate the 'yin' aspect of this world."

It was this phenomenon that thoroughly enraged the divine tree on the opposite side.

"This sacred tree was born hated by the race called humans, and it didn't even have a name of its own... And so, the accumulated resentment erupted."

"Humans are utterly powerless before godlike strength, swallowed by darkness, corrupted by shadows... and transformed into beings known as 'Shadow Possessions.'"

"Then, the Divine Tree Senbonzakura could no longer bear to see all this. She transformed a portion of her power into a deity and attached it to the chosen humans, thus making them divine vessels and sealing away countless shadow vessels."

The war lasted for countless years.

Finally, at some point, the corrupted Dark Tree was sealed away.

However, it was the effect achieved by the spirit of the "Senbonzakura" sacred tree, who exhausted its own consciousness.

"The goddess of Senbonzakura... She suppressed the resentment of the Dark God Tree at the cost of her own soul, but at the same time, she chose to pass on her power to a priestess so that she could inherit this power."

"After the priestess receives the power from the divine tree, she will become immortal... until she finds the reincarnation of the divine tree 'Senbonzakura' that can bear this power."

That is to say-

Hatsune Miku is the reincarnation of the sacred tree "Senbonzakura".

And the priestess chosen by the divine tree... is probably none other than the Phantom Princess standing before us.

"So that's why you're so obsessed with finding that guy?"

After hearing this series of stories.

Accelerator, on the contrary, first curled his lip in boredom.

"If you had spoken to me like a normal person earlier, the situation wouldn't have escalated to this point, would it?"

"That was definitely my fault... I'm very sorry."

Seeing the respectful demeanor of the Phantom Princess before him, the first person didn't bother to pursue the matter any further.

"Since you put it that way, can you guarantee that that guy has the ability to handle this personally?"

"...The Dark Tree before us is actually not as powerful as it used to be."

Huanji said, word by word.

"When the consciousness of 'Senbonzakura' fully unleashes its true power, it will be able to completely purify everything before it."

I'll believe you this once.

Accelerator didn't look at Eboshi anymore, but turned around.

He planned to rush straight to Hatsune Miku's side in the sky.

"However, if any unexpected situation arises, I will still handle everything."

"Don't worry."

Huanji nodded.

A complex and indescribable feeling welled up inside her.

"Is this the end of a struggle that has lasted for countless years...?"

--------------------------------

"So that's how it is."

I understand, and I remember everything.

After fully learning about the conversation between Accelerator and Eboshi, Hatsune Miku's eyes gradually began to change.

It seems to have become more ethereal.

"Has this resentment, after being sealed and suppressed for so long, become corrupted and transformed into its current ugly form...?"

Hatsune Miku stared directly at the dark tree in front of her, which was filled with resentment.

"Don't worry."

Then, she raised the Japanese sword in her hand.

The blade slowly emitted a cherry blossom-colored glow.

"I will... put an end to all of this!"

then.

Under the influence of the girl's power, the true power of the divine tree "Senbonzakura" was unleashed.

The light emanating from the depths of his soul instantly transformed the weapon, which existed in the form of a Japanese sword, into a gigantic gohei (a type of Japanese coin).

"Sakura Dai-bi—!!"

"Wha-what?!"

From within the Dark Tree, came the incredulous voice of the divine messenger from before.

"How is this possible... After so many years? How could a human still be able to unleash power at this level? Could it be—?!"

It fully understands the current situation.

"It's actually... the power of the divine tree that controls 'Yang,' the power of reincarnation?!"

Even the mournful cries have ceased.

Under the cherry blossom-colored glow that covered the entire sky, the darkness was dispelled.

It could no longer wail; under this incomparably holy and radiant power, everything was purified.

The pitch-black sky turned back to its azure hue.

It is still a pleasant morning.

Cherry blossom petals always floated beneath the sacred tree known as "Senbonzakura".

-------------------------

"Thank you so much, Miss Huanji!"

After everything was over, the divine messenger and the dark divine tree vanished from the world.

The sacred tree "Senbonzakura" has been revived by Hatsune Miku's power and has once again enveloped the entire Senbon Shrine.

It seems that the selection of the shrine's messenger will be re-elected by the highest levels of the imperial capital.

Captain Haidou and the other soldiers all bowed respectfully to Princess Huan.

Not only that.

"The person I need to thank the most is you...Future."

"No, Haidou-ge, I could never have done this without everyone's help."

Of course, for the entire capital city, there are still people who deserve the most gratitude.

Haidou looked at the first person next to him, and everyone around him did the same.

then.

They then bowed deeply in one direction.

"...Don't give me that nonsense."

"You have helped the people of the entire capital country and helped us discover all of this, so we must thank you no matter what."

"You can just tell the young lady over there about this."

He casually waved his hand and slowly left the scene under everyone's watchful eyes.

"...Captain."

Even when Accelerator left, everyone was still full of doubts.

"Although he did save the entire capital, but..."

"Just who is he?"

Nobody knows the answer to this question.

Even Kaito himself is like that.

but.

"What can you do after you know the result?"

Haito smiled and didn't answer the question.

"Whoever he is, the fact remains that he saved the capital."

"That's all we need to know."
