Who Do I belong to?

Who Do I belong to?
Sakura Matsubayashi's



.Yuuto and I went back to the cottage. In the middle of the trip, there was a very loud motorbike. The motor stopped in front of me and Yuuto. When I opened the helmet, it was Kenzo and Suzette.


Kenzo takes Suzette home. Suzette came down and entered her house. Kenzo looked back at Tsugumi.


Kenzo patted his motorcycle seat and told Tsugumi to ride. Kenzo is going to take Tsugumi home.


Yuuto forbids Tsugumi from going home with Kenzo. Yuuto immediately pulled Tsugumi's hand and headed home with their paddle bike.


Tsugumi listens to Yuuto to go home with her.


Kenzo was upset with his sister. Yes, Kenzo never went back to the cottage. Kenzo chooses to go home to Akio's grandfather. Akio's grandfather lives on the hill. Kenzo already considers Akio's grandfather as his own grandfather.


Kenzo came to the hill. Kenzo was welcomed by Grandpa. Grandpa brought him two cups of tea and some snacks. Kenzo has a gentle attitude when with grandfather. However, grandfather knew Kenzo's true attitude.


Yuuto and Tsugumi have arrived home. They went into the cottage and met Grandma. It turned out that grandma was serving guests, and that guest was Ozora, she was the campus leader and the son of this village chief.


The college kids don't like Ozora or the village chief. Ozora has exactly the same traits as her father.


So in this village there is a forest that is so valuable. All the villagers were very affectionate and proud of this forest.


The forest is called Sakura Matsubayashi.


A few days ago, the village chief said that the forest would be destroyed and will be built a tourist spot. Almost all residents disagree with the village chief's opinion. But the whole village could do nothing.


Yuuto explained to Tsugumi in a soft voice like a whisper.


Grandma told Yuuto to entertain Ozora. Tsugumi also helps Yuuto.


Ozora said,


" Yuto, please tell all the college kids not to do anything. If you do a demo or whatever it is, the village chief will not change his actions. Please, follow the village chief's opinion ".


" Huftt, actually yesterday was not the campus children who protested. That's right, there are some college kids there. Yet 80% of it is the inhabitants of this village ". Yuuto's.


" really? Yes, already then. Please, Yuuto, you tell a friend, that actually the construction of this tour also has a good impact on this village ". Ozoras.


" Hmm. okay ". Yuuto's.


Ozora left the cottage. Tsugumi fell silent because she thought. When Tsugumi was a child, she always told her birth village. Tsugumi recalls that mama also told me about Sakura matsubayashi.


Behind Tsugumi's daydream, Yuuto continues to call Tsugumi. Eventually Tsugumi's daydreams collapsed. Yuuto tells Tsugumi to change clothes because after this they have to work again on the farm.


I'm actually really lazy to work on a farm. I want to play mobile all day or walk the streets of this village. But if I don't help Yuuto and the others working on the farm, don't know what Grandma will do to me. Tsugumi keeps nagging inside her room while changing her clothes. Since there was no one in the room, Tsugumi checked her phone for a moment. Lots of notifications coming in his phone. Tsugumi is unable to avenge everything, Tsugumi only retaliates against what she thinks is important to her.


Tsugumi got down from her room about to go to the farm. Upon arriving at the farm, Tsugumi had already met Yuuto. Yuuto approached Tsugumi and said,


" Let's just walk, how? ". Yuuto's.


" Will grandma not be angry? ". Tsuguki.


I followed him exploring this village. Yes, this village is very beautiful, it's just a shortage of tourists. If I were the village chief, maybe I would build a tourist spot, but not in the forest.


I inhaled a deep breath. Because in the city I cannot feel the air like in this village. Yuuto pulled my hand and ran towards Sakura Matsubayashi.


In front of this Sakura Matsubayashi, I was already amazed. What my mom told me at the time was almost exactly like this. I entered this beautiful forest. I continued to look to the right and to the left without looking at the direction of my path. Until I finally separated from Yuuto. At first I was scared, but I remembered my mother's story. If you were angry when you were a child, you would go to this forest and go to the biggest tree in this forest. I remembered my mother's story and kept going, until I found a tree like my mother said. I looked up, the leaves of this tree were so thick that even the heat of the sun did not touch my skin. I sat under that tree. My heart became calm and cool. Even though I have to sleep here, it's okay.


It didn't seem like the day was starting late in the afternoon. Yuuto hasn't found me yet. If I leave this tree, I'm afraid I'll get lost. Until I finally heard the sound of a leg. In my heart I kept saying, may it be Yuuto.


Right, it was Yuuto.


Yuuto came up to me and hugged me.


" I thought you'd be gone, thank goodness you're okay ". Yuuto's.


" I was so scared. Thank goodness you came ". Tsuguki.


They also walked home.


" O yes, how did you find this tree?. I'm having trouble finding this tree ". Yuuto's.


" So when I was a kid, my mom always told me about this village of her birth. My mom always talked about this forest. Somehow I got to the tree, I just walked by and remembered the mama's story ". Tsuguki.


" Oh so ". Yuuto's.


The day is starting to get dark. And in the forest it was very dark. They both did not come out of the forest. Until finally, Yuuto turned on his phone. But they still have trouble finding their way home. Yuuto decides to take Tsugumi somewhere.


The two of them got to where Yuuto was referring to. This place is in the form of a cave. Yuuto said to Tsugumi before entering,


" You I can get in here, doesn't mean you're a member of us either ". Yuuto's.


I was confused by what Yuuto said. What member does he mean ?.


We also entered. There were a few bonfires in the cave. It turns out that in the cave there are friends of college friends.


Everyone greeted Yuuto. I'm still confused as to what they're doing here.


There is also Suzette. Suzette said,


" Yuto, why are these city children coming here as well? ".


" Yes, I took him down the street here. Uh he was lost. And I searched for her until the afternoon. And when we were about to go home, the forest was already dark and the direction I memorized the most was to this place, so I invited her to come here ". Yuuto's.


" Oh so. Remember the town boy. You can come here doesn't mean you're a member of us ". Suzettes.


" What kind of society is this? ". Tsugumi


" This is the society we made when we started making friends. Until a few days ago, we knew that this forest would be destroyed. So now we gather to discuss how to keep this forest safe" explained Geona.
