ok now hear me out. I have this thing where i have trouble recognizing faces, and drawn faces unless they are super distinct are near impossible to distinguish, but... could sakura be the saint reincarnated? again im bad at recognizing faces but her overall vibe reminds me of what we have seen of the saint...
This is what I have been wondering since a few chapters in to the series. We don't know, of course, but it seems likely. However, the whole knight thing was definitely a slightly different take on things than what I would expect most expected until just a couple chapters before the reveal.
If we are to take the Demon Lord's words at face value then Edelweiss was killed so her becoming Sakura isn't outside the realm of possibility IF she was actually killed. We haven't seen what actually happened to Edelweiss and the only thing we know of her fate at this point is what the Demon Lord has SAID to our MC.
If Sakura is Edelweiss does she have her memories yet and is pretending to not know anything? Is Sakura currently her own person and the same thing will happen to her that happened to Takeru in this world: Sakura dies while fighting with Takeru (or others from the association) and Edelweiss's soul goes into Sakura's body? The parallels are there that Takeru and Sakura will be fighting together in the future and it would make the most sense that Sakura and Edelweiss are somehow connected. Or it really could just be that Sakura is and always will be a different person and Edelweiss's fate is something completely different.
I just want to know what happened to Edelweiss because she appeared to be the only one who cared for Takeru in the other world. And as we don't know anything about her except what we have heard from Takeru if she turned out to actually be evil the whole time I would be so bummed.
