Sakura
Last updated 2022-01-31
Sakura, as the name suggests, she is a young cherry tree that has been dry for 50 years... and become a spirit. Speaking quietly, it's not because she is afraid of ghosts, Sakura wn't curse people, but if Sakura hears you... her screams might cause your tinnitus. Hey, she is so scared when she is a ghost. In short, Sakura is like this, remember to enshrine her with rice balls and fruits. Although it's not a god, it's better to make Sakura happy than to worship Jizo. She is very cute when she laughs, and might teach you a lot of things~ Although the knowledge is a bit outdated, most of them are from before the Taisho era... don't care about that too much at this point, right?
Plot
In a certain suburb, a lonely cherry tree grew. Blooming alone, withering silently, no one knows, no one cares. And here is Sakura's home. Speaking of home, it might make people think of what it means to live here, right? In fact, Sakura, but the spirit of this cherry tree is the kind of ghost that people attach to objects after death, floating around to scare people.
There are many sayings as to why she became the lingering spirit of the cherry tree. Some people say that a big family of the era, was buried here. Some people say that this is the lonely soul of the cherry tree. However, it seems that even Sakura herself is also buried here. We aren't sure why ghosts are forbidden words in front of her... why? This is about the prosperity and disappearance of this cherry tree-
The so-called Flower, Bird, Wind and Moon, this is the name for the most common scene in the world, and it is also usually the place where the beautiful scene of cherry blossoms in the natural world is located, and it also gives people a considerable feeling. It is obviously a withered cherry tree, but someone always sees cherry blossoms dancing in the wind with the sky full of cherry blossoms. We heard that that was what Sakura remembered that she had learned in class, because it was too retro and beautiful. Not only would no one be afraid of her ghost identity, over time, this cherry tree became a holy place. Many people visited, played... well, accompany Sakura, or just admire from a distance. This area is no longer alone, and this is the prosperous period of this cherry tree.
Sakura really seems to be the jewel in the palm of a big family, after all, she knows a lot. From literature to astronomy, to geography and history, she will keep chatting with you when she is happy. As she said, knowledge is a glorious thing. It's just... this seems to be a bit deviating from our cognition. The haiku in literature is good, after all, it is retro, but some knowledge is too backward. We don't know if it is good for people to refute her. For example... Well, she doesn't seem to know that the trains now have an electric system. Many things that are only available in the homes of wealthy people have become very common. "Huh? What kind of flying bird is this?... Isn't an airplane with a propeller in its mouth? Don't lie to me! I haven't read a book!" "Huh? You can drink Coke! You must be a rich man my child! Uhhhhh, that's great~" "What! What a horrible activity is skipping classes! You are no longer an ordinary rich person!"
Although Sakura often showed off some outdated information, because she was so cute when she was happy, generally no one wanted to expose her. And listening to her talk about the things in the past, there is a real sense of reading history books, which is actually unexpectedly rewarding. In the end, people even began to worship her as a Ksitigarbha, here has become an urban legend, spread to more people's ears-yes, including Sakura's own ears. Since that day, Sakura has never appeared again. Some people say that she has become a Buddha, and some people say that it is an urban legend after all, so it was fake from the beginning. So, where did Sakura go? "Ksitigarbha, is Jizo that terrible ghost! Urban legends? Urban legends are supernatural events, right! How terrible! Yeah--" Sakura, shivering in the tree, tricked herself that she wouldn't be found by ghosts when she fell asleep. So, many years have passed since she fell asleep - obviously she was a ghost, but was unexpectedly afraid of ghosts... But since then, the cherry blossom tree never see Sakura again, and over time they were forgotten, and finally one day, the cherry blossom tree also disappeared. When Sakura woke up again, she was already in Babylon Academy.
As a ghost, Sakura unexpectedly likes the daytime. How can we say it, after all, it is safe during the day... That's right, at least not when there are ghosts... right? In fact, she was afraid of ghosts, until that day came... "I'm so stupid, really, I only know that there are ghosts in the night, and I will chase people through the wall, I don't know that there are also during the day..."
Everyone saw that day, Sakura cried and floated in front, and the nicknamed Flower Moon Festival ran behind. One cried, "It's terrible to have ghosts! It's disgusting to go through walls! Don't come over! I don't want to go with you!" One shouted, "A demon is different from a ghost!" Hmm... Is Sakura not only afraid of ghosts, but also to demons, do you want to tell her that Yoyo, which looks harmless to humans and animals, is actually a kind of demon? But this might make her think that Babylon is a place where there will be a hundred ghosts and never dare to come out again... By the way, isn't you who can go through the wall, Miss Sakura?
