Cherry Blossom Market Cyberpunk の小説・ストーリー

'Spring is here; the cherry blossom is the sign. Oh, my love is a beautiful sight. Underneath the sky, with my lover beside. I don't know why I love the pink in the sky. The beauty of nature is not so easy to define. Oh, my love, I love the cherry blossoms in the sky.' Kiera mumbled as she gazed at the delicate pink petals floating through the air. The cherry blossoms seemed to dance in harmony with her words, creating a magical moment that encapsulated their deep connection to nature and each other.

Elen replied with a wide smile, feeling eager to explore the market. After a short fifteen-minute ride, they arrived at the bustling market of Asteria. The marketplace was filled with people bustling around, shopping for various goods and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere. Stalls lined the streets, displaying colorful fruits, freshly baked bread, and an array of other tempting treats. Elen's eyes widened in amazement as she took in the sights and sounds of the lively market. "Wow, I didn't expect Asteria to be like this," Rora commented, her eyes wide with amazement as she took in the lively surroundings of the market.

Elysian Harbour was for the business men, young and old. The city unfolds with an ultra-modern vibe. Skyscrapers made of sleek glass and steel dominate the skyline, reflecting the bright city lights. The streets are wide and impeccably clean, with self-driving cars gliding silently along. Neon signs and LED displays on buildings create a futuristic, cyberpunk atmosphere. Elysian Harbor is a symphony of cutting-edge architecture, digital billboards, and a palpable sense of progress, underscoring its reputation as a hub for innovation and wealth.

The air was thick with smoke, perfume, alcohol, fear, and lust, the kind of mix that makes people brave enough to ruin themselves. Light fractured everywhere, red and gold cutting through shadow, reflecting off crystal chandeliers hanging too low over gambling tables stacked with chips, cards, weapons disguised as accessories, and promises no one intended to keep. The twins froze for half a heartbeat. “Oh my Goddess,” Maya breathed, eyes wide. “This is...” “Not a club,” I finished for her, already moving forward. “Not a casino either. This is a marketplace.” People weren’t just gambling money here. They were trading secrets, alliances, bodies, futures. Wolves in tailored suits leaned over ta

Unread messages in the “Myōran Middle School Class of 2024 Parent Group Chat”: 99+ Mrs. Kimura sat frozen on the living room couch, her phone gripped like a time bomb. The glow from the screen flickered across her face as she scrolled through message after message with growing horror. “Takuto,” she called, her voice barely above a whisper, “this lady—‘CherryBlossomsDance’—says you built the Tokyo Stock Exchange out of LEGO... in kindergarten?”

Cassian leans out the window like a carefree child while Kevin quietly explains the rules of neutral ground: no fighting, no challenges, no politics—at least not openly. The market sprawls in a clearing, colorful tents and stalls spilling over each other, the air thick with the smell of baked bread, roasting meat, herbs, and smoke. Men from different packs weave through the rows, bartering loudly. “This is…” I pause, eyes wide. “Lively.” “Overwhelming,” Rowan mutters. “Perfect,” Elias corrects. He’s already steering me toward the nearest stall.

I’d still have to go back home to use them. “Are you coming?” Amnesi’s voice reeks of annoyance. “Yeah.” I move quickly to meet her. I’d rather not be at the end of that spear, “Is all this real gold?” “Yes. These mountains are blessed with such minerals.” I’m embarrassed I ever thought they lived in trees or huts. “Wow.” As we walk into the courtyard, a cherry blossom is in full bloom, spraying pink leaves all around the walkway when it moves in the wind.

He just slowed down slightly. Marco saw it. "I'm not five." "You're already looking at the éclairs." Marco handed over coins without another word and joined the small queue. Kai moved ahead alone. The Moonbeam Market had taken over every inch of the square color and noise stacked on top of each other, vendors competing at full volume, the smell of food and incense mixing into something that was almost pleasant. Spirit Walk had been running four days. Five left until the Night of the Apparition.

she said slowly. "Discount sun," Dante corrected, taking a sip of his coffee. "The real one still arrives on schedule. This is the early-access version." A convoy of vehicles rolled into the compound below. Workers began unloading crates—rare flowers that bloomed only in direct light, heat-sensitive orchids, gold-thread banners embroidered with wolf motifs, crystal light sculptures shaped like howling wolves and crescent moons. An assistant jogged up with a card, handing it to Luna with an apologetic bow.

She could smell the faint traces of puke clinging to the steel structure, could have been hers or someone else's. It takes the elevator some three minutes to arrive at ground floor, immediately she’s greeted by a myriad of smells coming from the food stands run by remnants of the old Filipino culture, rice cakes, sugar stained grilled pig or chicken guts, deep fried banana spring rolls and others she couldn’t discern despite the cybernetic implant on her nose. She traversed through the rest of the street market, which contained pockets from every corner of the world, she’d been in and out of these corners for years but it still retained its South East Asian melting pot charm. “Solus!” A figu
