Under the sunlight, Sajyou Manaka's lips, like cherry blossom petals, gently parted as she sang joyfully in the wind, "Fu Yuan~ My Prince, I've come to find you~"
Sajyou Manaka, as if going on a date with her boyfriend, hopped along lightly. The hem of her dress swayed with her bouncing, making her look incredibly innocent and cute.
Sajyou Manaka is the eldest daughter of the Sajo Family in Tokyo.
She is a miracle.
Because from the moment she was born, Sajyou Manaka was connected to the 'Root Calamity,' the very Root that all Mages yearn to reach.
Due to being connected to the 'Root Calamity' from birth, Sajyou Manaka mastered her family's Magic system, which ordinary Mages spend their entire lives on, within a few years. She also learned several other systems.
She even possessed the ability to glimpse the future.
Sajyou Manaka is the embodiment of truth, the Princess of the Root, a girl capable of achieving anything.
To have life—as long as she wishes for it, life will sprout.
To have death—as long as she whispers it, death will spread.
It can be said that the world is connected to her, and she is connected to the world.
Being omniscient and omnipotent, there is nothing Sajyou Manaka cannot accomplish. She can manipulate, achieve, or destroy anything.
However... Sajyou Manaka, who exists on the same level as the 'Root Calamity,' must impose limits on herself if she wishes to maintain her Human Form. Only by limiting her abilities can she exist in reality as a 'human.'
Because she limited herself, Sajyou Manaka lost the power to glimpse the future. Connected to the Root, she thus survived.
At least Sajyou Manaka could wake up from sleep, open her eyes, breathe, gaze at the sky outside the window, and listen to the birds' songs, just like a human.
But, by limiting herself, Sajyou Manaka was merely surviving. She was like a puppet with no feelings, unable to experience a variety of emotions like humans do.
For example, the joy of life, the fear of death... she felt nothing.
Neither her parents' affection nor her sisterly love evoked any feeling in her.
In her eyes, her life was as bland and tasteless as a blank sheet of paper.
But every day for the past four months, Sajyou Manaka experienced a change.
It was a bright, sunny day. The Princess of the Root, Sajyou Manaka, intended to release her limitations, return to the Root, and disappear from the uninteresting mortal world.
Just as Sajyou Manaka was about to release her limitations, she seemed to feel something...
Thump-thump.
It was Sajyou Manaka's heart, beating rapidly. Her mechanical heart was beating strangely because something was approaching.
This is impossible!
Sajyou Manaka is the Princess of the Root. The world is her possession, and she views all things equally. Whether ugly or beautiful, they are all tasteless existences.
Nothing could make her heart beat faster, absolutely nothing.
Sajyou Manaka believed this until she saw that man...
Fu Yuan, arriving here, glanced at the nameplate bearing 'Sajo' and then looked into the Sajo residence. He saw a cute girl staring at him blankly, with an expression of stunned surprise as if she had seen something impossible.
Fu Yuan gave a slight smile to the beautiful girl inside and asked, "Excuse me, is there a girl named 'Sajyou Manaka' here? I'm looking for her."
Different.
Different...
Different!
This man's existence is different! Sajyou Manaka, connected to the Root, could not perceive anything from this man. He was like someone who didn't exist in this world!
Unlike everyone else, unlike everything!
Upon seeing this man with her own eyes, Sajyou Manaka's heart began to pound, and an ineffable emotion spread within her.
Chapter 46: I am Manaka, thank you for finding me.
Understanding all things, understanding everything, Sajyou Manaka knew what the emotion filling her heart was.
It was love!
A mad, obsessive love that drives people to frenzy.
Just by seeing Fu Yuan for the first time, the Princess of the Root fell in love.
Under Fu Yuan's gentle smile, like the morning sun, the girl named 'Sajyou Manaka' blushed and her eyes became moist.
Then, the Princess of the Root, with the expression of a lovesick maiden, actively stepped forward. Like a blooming crimson flower, she answered Fu Yuan's question in a bright, tender voice.
"Sajyou Manaka? That's me~ Thank you for finding me." Sajyou Manaka said happily, tilting her head.
"Hm?" Fu Yuan looked at the charmingly beautiful girl with slight confusion.
Fu Yuan didn't understand why this girl was thanking him, as he hadn't done anything to warrant her gratitude, had he?
If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be him thanking her.
Because Fu Yuan's Daily Quest today was to find a girl named 'Sajyou Manaka' in Tokyo.
By the way.
Fu Yuan didn't know Sajyou Manaka. He didn't know who this girl was. Although he was a transmigrator, he wasn't a transmigrator who knew everything.
This was the first meeting between the Princess of the Root and Fu Yuan.
Therefore, Sajyou Manaka's world, beyond black and white, began to see other colors, a beautiful color called 'love'.
Fu Yuan didn't know that Sajyou Manaka, whom he had met four months ago, had already arrived in Fuyuki City. He was currently leaving Fuyuki City with Scáthach.
Sajyou Manaka had just arrived in Fuyuki City when Fu Yuan left it. What a coincidence~
========Separator: Heading to Germany===========
The Einzbern family, located in the Bavarian Forest of Germany, is an isolated sorcery family. Even most Mages are unaware of its location.
The Bavarian Forest is a very cold place, especially to the southwest, where it snows year-round. Besides snow wolves, no other life ventures there.
