Chapter 233: Convergence (Part Two)

Sakura

July 23, ??:??, Sakura's Mindscape

For a moment, she just stared up at Irade, surprised. For some reason, she sounded a lot...younger...than Sakura had imagined.

"How old are you?" she asked before she could stop herself.

A breeze blew by, carrying cherry blossoms along as they clothes flapped in the wind. Irade said nothing, simply looking down on them with that same, stony expression.

"You don't know who we are?"

Sakura blinked and looked down at Gadiel, who had also stood up. He had turned to face Irade, but his profile was still visible to Sakura. She saw he was frowning, probably more out of confusion than actual anger. They were quite famous after all.

This time, Irade deigned to answer.

"I know her," she said, jerking her head towards Sakura, making her heart jolt. "From the big news story she made about the Demon Lord."

Oh. Sakura supposed that made sense.
