Honkai, the Horror Rabbit Development Plan!

Early the next morning, Delta went out with Karen. Since he planned to stay in Yae Village for a while, he had to get familiar with the surrounding environment.

Whether it was the arrival of fate's pursuers or any unexpected situation, being familiar with the surrounding environment would make the two of them more calm.

Go out from the Yae Shrine, walk slowly all the way, and after passing through the long steps that rotate downward, walk a few more steps, and you can see the eye-catching cherry tree in Yae Village.

"It looks really good, here... it feels like a paradise." Delta took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said.

Karen was carrying the box in her arms, and nodded without knowing what she was thinking.

"Let's go, say hello to the villagers?" Delta suggested with a smile.

"Also..."

----

Yae Shrine is a relatively remote place compared to the entire Yae Village, but the village is a village, the place is not big, and it takes a few minutes to walk to the center of the village.

"It's travelers, hello."

"Hey!"

"Breakfast, would you like some?"

The villagers here seem to be no different from ordinary people. Delta put on a toga to cover up, walked to the stall, and bought some things.

Along the way, there were no conflicts, nor was anyone crowded out. Yae Village hadn't had any outsiders enter the village for a long time, and everyone was a little curious.

It's just... Kallen looked at the curious eyes around her, feeling a little nervous, and grasped the box tightly.

"Relax, Karen, everything will be fine." Seeing that Karen's expression was not right, Delta said comfortingly.

"Maybe I'm too nervous." Karen sighed and shook her head, "As long as I still hold the box in my hand, I always feel that people all over the world look at me wrongly."

"It seems that as long as you look at me a few more times, you will be robbed..."

"If you care about it, you will be chaotic." Delta said dumbfoundingly, "If the thing in the box really wants to run away, unless we keep an eye on it for 24 hours, it will always run away."

"We still have to think about how to solve the problem thoroughly..."

As she spoke, it seemed that Delta recalled something. She sighed, "The seal of this box itself is flawed... there is a gap and crack that shouldn't be there."

Having said that, Karen became even more nervous.

"No, no, let's go back quickly and find a way to hide it first, otherwise I won't feel at ease carrying the box on the street."

After being told by Karen, Delta became uneasy, looked around, and returned with Karen muttering.

----

When the two walked back to Yae Shrine, they saw Yae Sakura, who had finished her work as a maiden, picking cherry blossoms under the tree in the yard.

"Sakura." Kallen said.

"Sakura!" Delta said.

"It's the two of you..." Yae Sakura turned her head and smiled softly when she saw Karen and Delta, "How was your last night?"

"Slept soundly!" Delta said.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Karen said shyly, tugging at the hem of her clothes.

"No trouble." Yae Sakura shook her head and picked another cherry blossom from the tree and put it in the basket.

"Sakura, who is this?" Delta asked curiously.

"Make salted cherry blossoms." Yae Sakura was stretching her arms to reach up to the tree, and it was inconvenient to turn around, so she said without looking back.

"Is it for food?" Karen is an invisible foodie, thinking of something soaked in salt, what is it not for food?

Hearing this, Yae Sakura couldn't help laughing, but she also lost her balance because of the smile, and lost the best chance to pick the cherry blossoms at the highest point, so she simply didn't pick them and sat down on the ground.

"Salted cherry blossoms, salted cherry blossoms...the whole thing is soaked in salt, how can they be eaten directly."

"It's used to make wine." Yae Sakura didn't make a fuss, but called the two to sit down.

"Wine?" Caroline froze for a moment.

"Cherry Blossom Brew." Yae Sakura said, standing up at the same time, "Wait a moment, I'll show you."

After finishing speaking, she walked into the shrine, and within a few minutes, she took a square tablecloth and placed it on the ground, motioning the two of them to wait, before re-entering the shrine.

Kallen and Delta looked at each other.

----

"Okay." Yae Sakura came out again, with a wine bottle and a lunch box in her hand.

After setting up the utensils, she poured three glasses.

Opening the lunch box, the fragrance of sakura mochi rushed over, and opening the basket again, the extra-large rice balls made the two of them dumbfounded.

"I got up so early, I probably haven't had breakfast yet."

"When we went down, the villagers greeted us a little bit, but Karen and I didn't go to eat...I didn't expect to have a good meal at this time!" Delta swallowed and wiped the corner of his mouth.

Kallen picked up the small cup, sniffed it lightly, and took a tentative sip of the cherry blossom brew.

Delta was not so polite and reserved, with a wine glass in one hand and a super-large rice ball in the other, he drank a tenth of it in one mouthful, and when he was chewing fragrantly, he drank the cherry blossom brew in his hand in one gulp.

"Wait, don't eat in such a hurry." Yae Sakura stretched out her hand to stop Delta from eating what was in the bowl and thinking about what was in the pot.

Karen closed her eyes, feeling the cherry blossom stuffing spread in her mouth.

"There is...a very fragrant floral fragrance in the wine."

"It's natural." Seeing that the two of them were enjoying the tasting, Yae Sakura leaned on the trunk, raised her head slightly, and looked at the cherry blossoms scattered in the wind, "Otherwise, why call it cherry blossom stuffing?"

"First soak the glutinous rice in water and cook, then mix it with koji after cooling."

"Let it stand for a few days, let it ferment into rice wine... Then put the salted cherry blossoms prepared in advance in the jug, filter the sweet wine with gauze, and seal it for two months."

Yae Sakura turned her head, "It takes two or three months to make cherry blossom stuffing, of course it is very fragrant."

"Two or three months...won't it wither?" Kallen asked.

......

"Withered... no, the cherry blossoms pickled with salt... will not wither." Yae Sakura recalled.

"Sakura, do you... know the forget-me-not?" Delta suddenly whispered.

"Forget-me-not? What is that?" Yae Sakura was puzzled.

"...It's just the name of a flower, don't worry about it." Delta lowered his head and smiled, and then continued to cook, "Sakura is also good!"

"In the past, Rin and I both liked cherry blossoms... Of course, we also like it now." Yae Sakura leaned gently on the trunk of the cherry blossom tree.

"At that time, Rin always regretted the short time when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. When the flowers withered, he looked at them with very lost eyes."

"Later, I thought, how can I stop the cherry blossoms from withering? I thought and thought... Finally, I thought that pickled things usually last a long time. Can you try it?"

"So there are salted cherry blossoms."

Chapter 32 Delta, I want to help Sakura, come with me!

"Later...Rin was gone."

"But I still help her preserve the cherry blossoms every year, picking, cleaning, pickling, drying..."

"Even though, they never have a chance to bloom again."

Yae Sakura looked at the few cherry blossoms in the basket just now, and stretched her hand in to stroke gently, "Just to leave some memories of me and her."

"Wait, Sakura, you said Ling, no... What do you mean Rin is gone?!" Delta raised his head, staring at Sakura tightly.

Yae Sakura originally didn't want to talk about this matter, but... she felt that even if she didn't say it, Delta might have already guessed something.

Looking into her eyes, Sakura bit her lip.

"Sakura..." Kallen looked at Yae Sakura worriedly.

----

That's all... Anyway, it's not something that can't be said.

No one is hiding it, and no one else cares about it. The villagers are as usual, only they are worrying about it.

Only you care about, it is doomed to be lonely.

"My sister Rin, she died four years ago, for the sake of the village."

"In order to pray for rain for the village that has been suffering for a long time, a ceremony to please the gods is held. They want a virgin with the blood of a witch... The villagers cut Rin's tendons and hamstrings, making her unable to move, and then Pass me the knife."

"Because I am the priestess presiding over the sacrifice, I must be the one who kills Rin with the last knife. Seeing that I was too late to do so... my father took my hand and sent the knife into Rin's body .”

----

"Where's your dad?" Delta said expressionlessly.

"died."

"How did you die?"

"The beast attacked the village, he rushed up and died." Yae Sakura lowered her head slightly.

"The person who came up with this idea, who is still alive now?" Delta's eyes were gloomy.

"What are you going to do?" Yae Sakura asked.

"You care about me?!" Delta sneered.

"This is my family business. You are an outsider after all. I haven't said anything yet." Yae Sakura said coldly, "After all, we have only known each other for two days. Don't you think you are a little too enthusiastic?"

"Will you say it?" Delta's face was already a little angry.

Sacrifice?

Ha ha... cheating ghosts!

It's like this again...it's like this again...Rei is like this, Rin is like this, when will you people take your eyes off the innocent!

She has the same face as Sakura, and has a younger sister who was also persecuted by others. Although the reasons are different, these perpetrators have successfully angered Delta.

"So what if I don't say it? This is the custom of this village, and everyone has never opposed it. What can you do? Kill everyone?"

"I was born here and grew up here..." Yae Sakura said quietly, "If you want to kill the last person, what is the meaning of my existence as a witch? Why don't you kill me too?"

"Sophistry!" Delta stood up, turned around and was about to leave.

......

"Delta!"

In the distance, the girl heard someone shouting in her ears, and it was getting closer and louder, but the feeling was not very clear, as if there was a plastic bag covering her head.

"Delta!!!!"

As if suddenly awakened from a dream, Delta suddenly turned around.

"Delta, calm down! You are affected by the box!" Karen said with serious eyes.

Box?

Delta put down the great sword subconsciously, and looked over.

The box is lying quietly under the cherry tree.

"You're not holding it anymore?" Delta frowned.

"I'm here to find you..." Kallen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What is that for, helping it erode your spirit?"

Delta didn't speak, and was silent in his heart.

Looking up, Sakura was still kneeling quietly under the tree, her expression was the same, she just looked at herself with some doubts.

"Sorry, this is..." Sakura also saw the box, and unconsciously reached out to approach it.

"Stop!" Kallen ran over from Delta sweating profusely, swooped to protect the box, and then looked up at Yae Sakura solemnly while lying on her stomach, "There's a demon locked inside! Delta is affected, you can't touch it!"

Yae Sakura was startled, subconsciously withdrew her hand, "Hug, I'm sorry..."

"Well, what did I just... say?" Delta scratched his hair and sat down again.

She wanted to determine when she had been affected by the box.

"I didn't say anything, I just turned around and left with fierce eyes." Karen told the truth while holding the box tightly in her arms.
