I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 1039 - The Samurai Princess of Cherry Blossoms ?

Chapter 1039 - The Samurai Princess of Cherry Blossoms ?

Blossom-san showed me to a large tatami room that looked like a reception room with a view of the garden. After Blossom-san prepared some tea, she left the room and I turned my gaze to the room and the garden.

The room was indeed a pure Japanese-style room with large tatami mats, decorated with hanging scrolls, an armor, several Japanese katanas and fans with writings on them.

……The garden was a beautiful gravel garden with pine trees, bamboos, a large pond and a shishi-odoshi, probably inspired by a Japanese garden.

……Hmmm, I don’t know, I can tell that she’s put a lot of thought into this, but it kinda feels disorderly.

The room is decorated with hanging scrolls, an armor, Japanese katanas, and fans, whatever Japanese stuff comes to mind.

As for the hanging scrolls, I think they’re alright. “Wait”…… Anticipate, alert…… I don’t know what exactly the writer wants to portray by writing that single character word, but I suppose it was written in imitation of a kanji.

As for the Japanese katana, I guess it’s whatever. In fact, Japanese katanas are quite popular in this world. This is because it’s famous as the weapon used by the First Hero.

The popularity of the First Hero was great, and even Sigma-san, who I’ve met in that incident with Megiddo-san before, told me that he had come to use Japanese katanas because he admired the activities of the First Hero.

Well, the fact that she defeated a Count-rank with a Human body is probably quite popular among the populace, especially among those who like battles, such as War King’s subordinates.

However, as for that armor and fans…… To be honest, I don’t think those things were needed. The armor is especially large, so it’s quite oppressive being in this room.

As for the garden, seriously, how should I say this…… It’s so disorderly and I can’t see the concept she’s aiming for. No, I could sense that she put a lot of thought into it, and she was quite particular with its creation…… but it’s just, how should I say this…… I’m not sure if I’m just being a bit prejudiced or not, but I feel like this is “a Japanese garden made by a foreigner who calls themself a Japan expert”.

Well, it’s not like I’m saying I’m that knowledgeable either…… but I feel that this just isn’t it.

For example, Neun-san’s room…… That room was almost already a house, but that place was almost perfect. She had a garden and something like a porch inside the room, but the garden is simple with almost no unnecessary things.

Neun-san’s garden had a very clear concept. It seemed to have been adjusted based on the concept of “Neun-san sitting on the porch and drinking tea”.

On the other hand, Blossom-san’s harden…… somehow feels like it was made on the image that it had all the Japanese culture that she knew. Unnn, I can tell that she really likes Japan but……

[Thank you for waiting, Miyama-dono. Here’s some coarse tea!]

[T- Thank you very much.]

Let’s just put her declaring that she brought coarse tea with such energy, as Blossom-san seemed to be having fun.

[What do you think? How are my room and the garden?]

[Yes, it’s very well done…… Blossom-san seems to know about Japan…… about the other world huh.]

[Yes, I feel like it’s my spiritual home.]

[I see.]

Hmmm, it seems that she really likes the other world. I wonder why? Could it be because she’s the Spirit of a Cherry Blossom Tree? She seemed to have a pretty strong fixation on it……

[……Even so, you have a lot of katanas displayed in your room. 4…… No, Blossom-san has 5 such katanas, so I guess you……]

[I knew you’ll notice it!]

[……Unnn?]

[Yes, it’s as you have guessed! I’m a “samurai”!!!]

[……I…… see.]

She just interrupted me and suddenly started incomprehensible things!? Eh? I was about to ask her if she likes katanas, but this is the first time I’ve heard her proclaiming herself a samurai……

[As I thought, Miyama-dono, who hails from the other world, would be able to easily recognize it! I suppose it could be said that I’m gradually becoming a worthy samurai!!! Of course, I understand that I’m still far from being a top-notch samurai!]

[I- I guess so. You certainly look like a samurai.]

……If I’m being honest, rather than a samurai, she looks more like a sword-wielding beauty…… She feels like she’s from the same era as Neun-san, but looking at how happy she looks, it seems like she has a strong attachment to samurais.

[From Miyama-dono’s assessment, what do you think!? What it is that I lack to become a top-notch samurai…… Is there a more samurai-like way of speaking?]

[Errr, let’s see……]

Blossom-san really is coming on strong…… but to be honest, I don’t really have a deep knowledge of samurais either. If I really had to say something, the way she refers to herself (sessha) feels more like a ninja rather than a samurai, but that’s about it……

However, with this glaring, expectant gaze in front of me, I feel like I have to say something. Errr, for the time being, let’s try saying something harmless and inoffensive.

[I- I don’t think you really need to worry too much about your tone of voice though? I can’t really describe someone top-notch just because they imitate the appearance of a samurai…… Besides, I think that, errr, don’t samurais talk with their swords, not their mouths……]

[!?!?!? ]

……She looked really shocked. I can’t really say I’m any different, but Blossom-san’s emotions feel like they’re written all over her face, so it’s too easy to tell even if I don’t use Sympathy Magic.

[W- What precise and profound words……]

[Eh? No, it isn’t really that profound……]

[I- I see! So that’s how it is! I knew there was no way Lillywood-sama would think so highly of an ordinary human, so I’ve already expected Miyama-dono would tell me something extraordinary…… You are…… a “Samurai Master”!!!]

[……I’m not.]

I feel like the conversation is starting to go in a weird direction, or rather, it’s like the conversation just left me behind and started to make a full-on dash towards a completely wrong direction!

Also, people have been piling up lots of titles on my name already, so I’d like it if you don’t add up more……
