===The Garden of Many Flowers===
  +
A mysterious item known as a “Carrot Lance” has caused Mio, Celia, Akane, and Lisa to come from another world and get lost in the World of Flowers, Spring Garden, where they meet the Flower Knights. On the other hand, Takahiro has taken the form of a horse for some reason.

''-Far, far away, there is another world that is another world that is different from Spring Garden.''

--Helen's Hill, Winford Academy--
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' –Yeah. We're going to have another full day of good weather. The breeze feels good, and that time is definitely...
  +
  +
'''[[Mio]]:''' Fuu, I've caught up. Morning, Takahiro-kun.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' Morning, Mio. It's an early start today.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' That should be my line. Takahiro-kun, you didn't eat breakfast, and as soon as I noticed, you left.
  +
  +
Also, didn't you forget your lunch? That's why I've brought it to you, here.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' Ah, aah... Sorry. Thanks.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' You're welcome♪
  +
  +
...Takahiro-kun, you're going horse riding, aren't you? Do you mind if I come along?
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' Yeah, of course. It makes me happy to hear you ask, Mio. Well, shall we go?
  +
  +
'''???:''' <nowiki>[[Hip, Hi...ip, Hi...]]</nowiki>
  +
  +
'''[[Lisa]]:''' Fuu... I can't pull it out...
  +
  +
'''[[Akane]]:''' Aah. As I thought, it's impossible with just two of us...
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Morning, Akane-chan, Lisa-chan.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Good morning, Mio-senpai. And to you too, Mizuno-senpai.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' Morning... Eh, what are you two doing?
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' It's pretty much as you can see. We came to do some morning joust training and this thing was stuck here. So the two of us were trying to pull it out.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' ...What? That huge mysterious object? Why was this thing buried?
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Is it a... giant carrot? It kind of looks like a lance handle is sticking out of it...
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' During a break, we called if a Carrot Lance.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' But still... Well, if that's the case, I'll give you a hand. It doesn't make any sense, but it's getting in the way of your practice no matter what we think of it.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' I wonder if we grab it by this leafy part and pull together, it would work? Just like a giant turnip.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Yeah, I hope so. Let's all four of us combine our strength. One, two...!
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' ...It won't pull out.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Don't be put down.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' No, it feels a lot more loose than before. If we had one more person, we could probably...
  +
  +
'''[[Celia]]:''' Morning... Huh? What are you all doing? You've all been together since morning.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' Ah, Celia-senpai. Good Morning. Actually, we're...
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' I see... At Winford Academy, I wouldn't like to think anyone would pull this prank, but it would be worse to think it's the work of an outsider...
  +
  +
I understand. Let's get the student council to look into this. Of course, I will need to report this to the teachers, so everyone, please don't talk about this too much.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Of course. It could be the culprit's goal to cause an uproar, so there's no need for us to go out of our way to please them.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' So saying that, I'd like to pull this thing out now. Could you lend us a hand please, Celia-senpai?
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Of course. Is everyone pulling on these leaves? Open up a space for me to get in too.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' Thank yo... Ah. Celia-senpai, that position's...
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Ha, hawawa... Celia-senpai is right beside me...!
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' …? What's wrong, Ryuuzouji? Aren't you going to pull out this Carrot Lance with everyone? If you don't hold onto the leaf tightly, you won't be able to use your full strength.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Y-yeeeeees...! Ah, umm, breathe... Celia-senpai's body heat, it's so close...!!
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Ahaha... Akane-chan, who loves Celia-senpai, is going to be a little overexcited all morning.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' You're too worked up, Akane-senpai.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' Does Akane need to rest? It can't be helped, we'll need to wait for someone else to pass by...
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' [HaaaaAAAAAAA!!]
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' Just when I thought so, she's awoken!?
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Akane-chan, has an amazing spirit!
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Wonderful, Ryuuzouji, that spirit! Everyone, match that! One, two... three!
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Kyaa!
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' Alright, it's out! ...Huh?
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Wh-what's that!? The open hole is sucking me in...!!
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Ah, the handholds... Everyone, link arms! At the very least, don't get separated...!
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Takahiro-kun!
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' Mio! Akane! Celia-senpai! Lisa!
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' ...Ro, tatata... It's...?
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' A meadow... Or something like that... But, was there such a place at the academy? It all seems a little too wide...
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' We weren't in such a place to start with. Everyone was in the academy's practice field...
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Aah, so... that's right. We got dragged into the Carrot Lance's hole... It seems like the destination was this meadow...Fumu...
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' F-for now, is everyone safe? Akane-chan, Lisa-chan, Celia-senpai, myself...
  +
  +
Huh? Ta-Takahiro-kun's?
  +
  +
Ah, Takahiro-kun? I'm glad, you're here after...
  +
  +
'''Pest:''' Kishaaaaa!!!!
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Eh, kyaaaa!!
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Wh-what, that monster's!?
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Th-that's a costume, isn't it? That thing, is quite surprising...
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Everyone, run away! I'll hold it off, quickly get –
  +
  +
'''Pest:''' Ki, kishaaa...
  +
  +
'''[[Sakura]]:''' Fuu... Are you guys alright? Are you unhurt?
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Ah, aah... Thank you, you've saved us...
  +
  +
'''[[Japanese Apricot]]:''' It's dangerous here, so fall back. –Danchou-san, your orders!
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' ...Are they knights...? No, those weapons and that armour, it's too authentic... I don't think it's intended for competition...
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Swords, guns, spears, hammers... There are a lot of people with different weapons... What's all of this about...?
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' That monster also didn't look like it was a costume either....!
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Also, we had that object that was suck in the ground was also strange... Am I having a nightmare...?
  +
  +
'''[[Nazuna]]:''' ...That reaction, could it be that this is the first time you've seen pests or Flower Knights...? Danchou-sama, these people might be...
  +
  +
No, we need to evacuate first! Everyone, this way please!
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Many thanks. Everyone, follow her without panicking!
  +
  +
'''Lisa, Mio, and Akane:''' <nowiki>[[Yes!!]]</nowiki>
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Huh, kya!?
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Eh, Mio-senpai!
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Lisa, don't stop! I'll go and save Mio –
  +
  +
'''???:''' [Haaaaa!!!!]
  +
  +
'''Pest:''' Kisha!!?
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Th-that horse defended Mio-senpai...?
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' That's what it looked like to me. Also, that horse didn't just scream like a person, did it...?
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Y-yes... Moreover, the voice was quite familiar... No, it can't be...
  +
  +
'''Pest:''' Kishaaa...!!
  +
  +
'''Strange Horse:''' [Shit, it's not working... What the hell's going on, that's...]
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' E-eh? That voice, it can't be...
  +
  +
'''Strange Horse:''' [Are you OK, Mio! Get on me, we're going to escape!]
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' I thought so... You're Takahiro-kun!?

===A Flower Knight's Capabilities===
  +
The party decide to head to Bergamot Valley to start looking for clues on how to return to their own world, and their own forms. On the way, at the giant sakura tree in the beautiful Feria's Flower Garden, the Knight Commander consents to Celia and the others' request “I want to be able to fight the pests.”

''-In the meadows outside of the city of Blossom Hill, the party of knights had a mysterious encounter, and after successfully dispelling the pests, they head back to the city. So now, everyone will need to explain their situation –''
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' –Spring Garden, hm...? It's really hard to believe, but it really does look like this is a different world from our own...
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Flower Knights, Pests, World Flowers... It's all like an anime or manga world...
  +
  +
'''Sakura:''' Anime? Manga?
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Umm... It means like a work of fantasy. It's a type of entertainment in our world...
  +
  +
'''Sakura:''' You have those kinds of things? I'm a little interested.
  +
  +
But from our eyes, the peaceful world that you live in which has no pests is more like an anime or manga.
  +
  +
'''Japanese Apricot:''' But, ourselves, and these girls are not fantasies, we actually exist. We should each be in our rightful places, and he should be returned to his rightful form.
  +
  +
...He is correct, right?
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Yes, my name is Mizuno Takahiro. For some reason I'm now like this, but I was originally the same as everyone, a human and a man.]
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' You really are Takahiro-kun... Yeah, it's half unbelievable, but I am also somehow half convinced....
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Certainly, Mizuno's love for horses is unrivalled. Did coming to a different world somehow mix with his desires and cause him to turn into a horse?
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [...It's hard to deny it completely, but I wonder if people can turn into horses purely through determination...?]
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' I don't think it's impossible. Actually, there were others like you that came from different worlds before, but then there were many different incidents.
  +
  +
The one thing in common is that they all received the protection of the World Flowers. So they were able to fight against the pests as “Flower Knights”.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [But, I didn't become one of these “Flower Knights”, I'm a horse.]
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Yes. Only females can become Flower Knights, so because Mizuno Takahiro-san is male, I think that the protection of the World Flowers has had a different effect.
  +
  +
But I don't know what actions were taken that made it come to be...
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Well, seeing as it's Mizuno-senpai, isn't it understandable?
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' That's right. I don't like to say it, but... It's very much like Mizuno.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Lisa and Celia-senpai too...]
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' It was a compliment. I haven't seen someone who loves and cares for horses the way you do.
  +
  +
So it's easy to accept that you've become a horse, given the current situation. I apologise if I upset you.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [...No, it's fine. With that explanation, I think I'm starting to understand it a little bit myself.]
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' However, it's going to be a problem if you stay like this forever. Is there something we can do...?
  +
  +
'''Japanese Apricot:''' I'm sure there's something. But the first thing is you need to start believing that there is.
  +
  +
'''Sakura:''' In order to that, we need to find a solution. Do we have any clues?
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Clues... What about that Carrot Lance?
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Umm... Everyone pulled out the Carrot Lance, at that time a huge sucking force pulled us into the hole, that's when I noticed, or more like felt...
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' The way you're explaining this sounds like you've gone crazy... I'm not sure if I can believe it.
  +
  +
'''Japanese Apricot:''' No, I believe it. What's this “Carrot Lance”?
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' It looks like a huge lance when you look at it, but the tip was like a huge carrot like object. It was driven deep into the ground in our world.
  +
  +
'''Sakura:''' A giant, lance like carrot...
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' That reaction... Do you have something in mind?
  +
  +
'''Sakura:''' I don't know what a Carrot Lance is, but I know someone who would probably make something like that. Someone who invented a whale that flies in the sky, and the bamboo shoot.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' ...As I thought, this is a world from anime or manga.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' All these strange things. I'd like to see them once.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' You mean Tampala-san. If so, let's head out for Bergamot Valley!
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Bergamot Valley... Is that far away from here?]
  +
  +
'''Sakura:''' Yeah, it's two countries away. But, we as long as Danchou-san's unit is with us, I don't think we'll need to worry.
  +
  +
'''Japanese Apricot:''' We can't leave Blossom Hill, but please allow us to escort you to Lilywood's border. We'll move ahead and get rid of the dangerous pests.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Waaa, what amazing scenery...! There are a lot of sakura trees in Helen's Hill, but I've never seen one this big!
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Fufu, are you surprised? This is Feria's Flower Garden, it's one of the best flower viewing spots in Blossom Hill. As Mio-san says, that bug sakura is the main attraction♪
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' At first I was only confused, but now I've calmed down and look at it, this is a surprisingly beautiful world...
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Yeah. The air is clean, and the wind feels good... I just want to run right now.]
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Saying that Mizuno, that injury to your leg isn't causing any problems?
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' Aah, this body seems like it's doing well. Everything feels light, like I could start to fly.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Fufu, I understand what you're saying, but horses aren't flying creatures.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' That's right. You might be roaming around like a child, but we still don't know where the pests might appear from.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [I-I know. I don't want to cause trouble to Danchou-san or the Flower Knights.]
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Pests....?
  +
  +
Danchou, I have a suggestion. Could you please instruct us on how to fight the pests?
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Eh? That's, everyone doesn't need to fight...
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' No, that's the situation we're in. It seems like it's going to be a long road, and it would be best if we could protect ourselves.
  +
  +
Besides, we're different from the Flower Knights of this world, but we were also aiming to become “knights” in our own world. As long as we have the strength to fight, we should be fighting.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' If that's the case, I also agree. The strength to fight the pests... You said that we had received “The blessing of the World Flowers”, didn't you?
  +
  +
I saw a child just like me fighting against the pests. That means, that even someone like me could...
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' That's right... She said that would defeat the dangerous pests, and that it was best to test our strength early on.
  +
  +
How much can we fight right now, how much could we improve... I would be grateful if Danchou and the Flower Knights could assess it one time.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [...What about you, Mio?]
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' ...To be honest, I'm scared, but in order to return to our world, I also want to do my best with everyone.
  +
  +
...Also, of course, I want Takahiro-kun to become a knight, and not a horse...
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' ...So, Danchou-sama. What should we do about everyone's suggestion?
  +
  +
  +
  +
''If option 1, “Of course we'll do it.” is chosen;''
  +
  +
'''''Mio:''' Thank you, Danchou-san! I'll work my hardest!''
  +
  +
'''''Akane:''' Although I know about swords and jousting, I'm a complete amateur when it comes to being a Flower Knight. I look forward to your guidance and support.''
  +
  +
  +
  +
''If option 2, “Let's give them all of our support.” is chosen;''
  +
  +
'''''Celia:''' Thanks. Although I might be a complete stranger to all of this, I promise that I will do everything in my power to not bring shame to the knight's name.''
  +
  +
'''''Lisa:''' But please don't treat us as children. Even if you guide us strictly, we'll follow you properly.''
  +
  +
  +
  +
'''Pest:''' Kishaaaaaa!!
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Oho... Speak of the devil and he will come! Danchou-sama, we're in your care!

===Under a World Flower===
  +
Arriving at the nation deep in the forest, Lilywood, the party decided to take a short rest. While speaking with the Flower Knights Elder Flower and Heavenly Bamboo, who are also doctors, Mio and the others deepen the understanding of their world's knights and competitive jousting.

--World Flower of the Deep Forest, Lilywood--
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Wa....! Such a huge city in the middle of the forest... It's like a world from a picture book...!
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Aah, and it also has a completely different feel than Blossom Hill. Just as I thought I was getting used to it, this world continues to surprise me.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' This is Lilywood, a country with the specific aim to coexist with nature. It is also my home town♪
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Now that you say that, I'm really looking forward to travelling around this world.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' That's right. I know this isn't the place, but the nature is very calming...
  +
  +
'''[[Scoop-chan]]:''' Everyone, you must be tired from your long trip! Welcome to Lilywood♪
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Huh, Scoop-chan? You're welcoming... We never even sent word ahead...
  +
  +
'''Scoop-chan:''' Well you know, I'm the all knowing Scoop-chan! I heard about “visitors from another world” on the wind and so I excitedly came out to meet them♪
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [All knowing, that could help. Ourselves and Danchou-san's group have a lot of information that we don't understand. We're counting on you.]
  +
  +
'''Scoop-chan:''' Of course, please rely on me and ask me for any favours♪ I will spare no energy in providing a solution to your problems, and will give you as much useful and interesting information as I can...
  +
  +
......
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' […? Why are you staring at my face?]
  +
  +
'''Scoop-chan:''' Eeeeeeh!! The horse is talking!!?
  +
  +
– No, no, pardon my rudeness! This is much stranger than I was expecting!
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' ...Hey, Takahiro-kun. Up until now, you've been talking normally with Danchou-san and the others, but...
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Yeah... I should probably be a little more careful around people who don't know the circumstances. Apparently, horses don't normally talk in this world...]
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' …What luck, you'd have been disappointed if you had wanted to talk to the horses of this world.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' That's not the case, it would more be like Mizuno to be relieved instead of disappointed.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Now that's done, let;s get back on topic. We should continue to aim for Bergamot Valley, and ask Scoop-chan to gather information on the Carrot Lance... Would that be favourable?
  +
  +
'''Scoop-chan:''' Yes, leave it to me, Celia-san! It may take me a little time, but look forward to it!
  +
  +
Danchou-sama and everyone must be tired though. I've made reservations for accommodation and doctors, so for today, please take some time to rest here♪
  +
  +
'''[[Heavenly Bamboo]]:''' ...Hm, there seems to be no problem with your health. Everyone seems fine.
  +
  +
'''[[Elder Flower]]:''' You said you were from a different world, so I was a little worried, but it seems like you're basically the same as us, what a relief.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Thank you Heavenly Bamboo-san, Elder Flower-san. It makes me feel better to get an examination from a doctor.
  +
  +
'''Elder Flower:''' Don't worry about it! Is that the person who's been having a tough time?
  +
  +
Even so, I was surprised. The world in which you all live has no threats like the pests, right?
  +
  +
'''Heavenly Bamboo:''' Even so, it seems that you have had some experience fighting against pests. It's a little hard to believe.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' That's correct. Everyone jumped in quickly!
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Only because the strength received from this world and the proper guidance from Danchou and the Flower Knights. We could never have managed alone.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' But, normally those who don't do anything won't be able to do anything. Of course... Jousting was it?
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' That's right... It was a little surprising at first, but I believe it's the spirit of jousting that I had cultivated which allowed me to face the unknown threat.
  +
  +
'''Heavenly Bamboo:''' It must be excellent combat training, jousting. I'm interested in what it's like.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' To put it simply, you arm yourself, ride a horse, and when you pass your opponent, you thrust your lance at their armour. It's easy to say and tough to do, so daily training is essential.
  +
  +
Not only in physical strength, technique and strategy, but also training the “knight” spirit of protecting the weak... I think that's the true essence of jousting.
  +
  +
So when I heard about the relationship between the pests and the Flower Knights, I could feel that I could get closer to my goal of being a knight. I want to learn a lot of things from those that risk their lives to protect the people. And I want to fight by their sides... That's what I've come to think.
  +
  +
'''Heavenly Bamboo:''' The spirit of chivalry. How wonderful. There are a lot of people that want to emulate it.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' …? What a strange thing to say. Since they're called Flower Knights, isn't everyone familiar with chivalry?
  +
  +
'''Heavenly Bamboo:''' Of course, there are some like that. But, to say that all of them are “knights” might not be correct.
  +
  +
'''Elder Flower:''' For example, myself and Heavenly Bamboo are Flower Knights as well as doctors. We also want to protect everyone, but are we really like knights?
  +
  +
'''Heavenly Bamboo:''' Our fighting styles don't use only weapons like swords or spears. There are many types of Flower Knights, others use guns or hammers, even magic... Animals and other strange creatures also commonly join in the fighting.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Fumu... Even though they're called knights, they have various methods of fighting. Mio was able to use something that was like magic, so that's also the power of a “Flower Knight”.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Ehehe, but I was a little embarrassed at first. Celia-senpai and Lisa-chan have lances, Akane-chan has a sword, but I just have this magical stick...
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' I think it suits you. It's perfect for Mio-senpai's image.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Umu. It makes it feel more like a different world, I'm a little jealous.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' A knight that doesn't fit the mould of a knight, huh...? Even so, they have been protecting the people by fighting against the threats of the ancient world...
  +
  +
Fufu... I'm becoming more and more interested in the existence of the Flower Knights. While we're in this situation, if at all possible, I would like to learn as much as I can.

===The Whereabouts of the Carrot Lances===
  +
The party heads deep to Ukagami Valley, deep in Bergamot Valley to search for the rumoured Flower Knight, Tampala. Even if there was no relation, she might be interested in the Carrot Lance, and so they headed to the location where she was last rumoured to be. There they found a large number of Carrot Lances and strong pests.

  +
'''Nazuna:''' Everyone, we're here! This is Bergamot Valley!
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' We've finally made it. That was a longer journey than I expected.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' But, wasn't it fun?
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' ...You're right. Well, apart from al those pests, it wasn't too bad.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [This is also an amazing place. It's completely different from Blossom Hill and Lilywood. But, it feels like...]
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' You think so too, Mizuno. This certainly feels a little like Japan.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Japan... Is that the name of a place in your world, Akane-san?
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Yeah. It's where myself, Mizuno, and also Mio comes from. It doesn't only have the rugged terrain like here, but the scenery and the atmosphere feels very similar.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Conversely, Blossom Hill felt a lot like Helen's Hill. I didn't have any feelings of discomfort, so I spent my time normally...]
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' I see, I see... So there are similar areas in other worlds, what a strange feeling, right Danchou-sama!
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' I've always been interested in Mizuno and the others' homeland, and it seems a city is near. Why don't we stop there and talk.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [You're right. Let's have this conversation later.]
  +
  +
--Bergamot Valley, City Centre--
  +
  +
'''[[Asian Royal Fern]]:''' Tampala-san? She's not here right now.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Ara, is that right? Where has she gone to?
  +
  +
'''Asian Royal Fern:''' I'm sure she said something about Ukagami Valley? I'm not really sure, but she was muttering about carrots or something....
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' As I thought, it wasn't a mistake. What Japanese Apricot-san and Sakura-san were saying.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Yeah. Let's head to this Ukagami Valley as soon as possible.
  +
  +
'''[[Azuki Bean]]:''' Hello. I've brought your Japanese sweets as always.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' ...Japanese sweets?
  +
  +
'''Asian Royal Fern:''' Ah, you're hear Azuki-chan! Thanks as always♪
  +
  +
'''Azuki Bean:''' And to you too, thank you for helping me with that favour♪ It makes me happy that you always order lots from me.
  +
  +
'''Asian Royal Fern:''' I'm always using my head while building. I need to keep up my nutritional supply of sweet things!
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' ...Sweet, Japanese sweets...
  +
  +
'''Asian Royal Fern:''' Ah, do you want to have some? My work is almost done, and I've ordered quite a lot.
  +
  +
'''Azuki Bean:''' I thought quite a lot of people had come, which means Danchou is here. These are freshly made, so everyone, if you don't mind, please take them♪
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Waa, they all look so tasty♪
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' They look so elaborate. They're so cute, it seems a shame to eat them.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Well then, I won't hold back...
  +
  +
Huh? Akane-san, why have you turned your back? Don't you want any sweets?
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' I-I'm currently in training. So I'm trying to refrain from such things, yes...
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' You really should eat, Akane-senpai. If you don't eat Japanese sweets in another world, how to put it, you'll definitely regret it.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' B-but...
  +
  +
'''Azuki Bean:''' I'm sorry. Are sweet things no good? I also have less sweet things, but today I only brought...
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' ...N-no, I don't hate it. I'll eat it too. Seeing as it's been recommended so much, it would be rude to turn it down, yes...!
  +
  +
'''Azuki Bean:''' Really? I'm glad♪
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Goodness, you can't be honest with yourself.
  +
  +
'''Pest:''' KyuooAAaaa.....
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Fuu... That's all of them. Everyone, are you uninjured?
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' They weren't particularly strong. They were perfect opponents without making me hungry.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Don't drop your guard. This isn't a competition like jousting. No matter whether the enemy is strong or not, there's always the risk of dying.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' O-of course I know that. I'm being careful.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Fufuu... Everyone is starting to feel like a Flower Knight, right Danchou-sama. They're becoming reliable.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' […]
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Takahiro-kun, what's up? Are you not feeling well?
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [No... I was just thinking of how great everyone has become. To fight bravely against that monster. It would be nice if I could do something...]
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' That's why you're disappointed. There's not much you can do in that condition, Mizuno.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' That's right. Even though you're not a Flower Knight, Takahiro-kun, you still saved me at the beginning.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [But...]
  +
  +
'''Danchou:''' Even if you can't fight directly, you can offer support.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Support...? Can I be useful in everyone's fight...?]
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' I see... Of course, that role is the most optimal for Mizuno right now. If we think about it as him being a begleiter.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Beg-leiter...?
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' They support the knights during jousts. They support the knights in every aspect from caring for the horses and maintaining the armour to training regimes and strategic planning.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' I've also been able to win due to Takahiro-kun's strategies and instruction. Definitely, fighting against pests, he's...
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [...Danchou-san, I beg you. Please think of me in you pest fighting methods.]
  +
  +
[I also want to be of use to everyone in this world!]
  +
  +
'''[[Tampala]]:''' ...That horse, spoke...
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Ah.]
  +
  +
'''Tampala:''' What a ridiculously realistic texture... What on earth did you use to reproduce this? Is the speech mechanism in it's throat? Do the sounds change depending on the reaction? To begin with, what concept and objective did you...
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' U-U-mmm, Tampala-san. Actually, this horse isn't mechanical...
  +
  +
'''Tampala:''' –Really... It's not mechanical, but is a person who was turned into a horse...
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [...Is this person not surprised? She's just normal.]
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' She's supposed to be an inventor, so maybe her outlook is different...?
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' You are Tampala, right? For some reason, we are looking for a Carrot Lance. Could you tell us anything you may know as an inventor?
  +
  +
'''Tampala:''' No, the Carrot Lance isn't one of my inventions. I also heard the rumours and have come to investigate.
  +
  +
According to the rumours, there is a colony of them just a little ahead... Want to come along?
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Th-that's a Carrot Lance...! They really do look like lances, and also carrots, such strange objects!
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [There was also one of them in our world. What is this...]
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' It's a little tiny...? The one we saw was so much bigger that it took five of us to pull it out...
  +
  +
'''Tampala:''' Fumu, there are individual differences. Curiouser and curiouser... There are a lot of them growing, so let's take some home as a sample.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' ...Wait, Tampala! There's something coming from above!
  +
  +
'''Pest:''' KishiiiiiiiiiIII!!!
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' It somewhat looks like a knight... It looks a lot stronger than any of the pests so far, but there's no way we can lose!
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Also, it would be a bother if they ruined the only clues we've found. Let's beat them quickly.

===The Girls Who Ate the Carrots ===
  +
While looking for the next Carrot Lance, the party heads to Winter Rose. The city is in the middle of a festival using the Carrot Lances as cooking ingredients, and the cookery loving Mio participates with local Flower Knights. On the other hand, while the spicy food loving Lisa enjoys the ultimate curry, Akane is knocked out by it's spiciness.

-''The party found a colony of Carrot Lances in the Ukagami Valley in the North of Bergamot Valley. After defeating the pests that appeared to block the way, the investigation resumes, but...''
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' ...It's no use. No matter how many Carrot Lances we pull out, there aren't any holes opening up like last time...
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' The Carrot Lances here are all too small. Of course, it needs to be much much bigger like the one last time...
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' But, it doesn't look like we'll find any more around here...
  +
  +
'''Tampala:''' Yeah. This was the only reported sighting in Ukagami Valley, so it seems unlikely that we'll find any more.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Shit, even after we came all this way...]
  +
  +
'''Danchou:''' It's still too soon to quit.
  +
  +
'''Scoop-chan:''' Just as he says! Everyone, are you in a bind?
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Scoop-chan! Your timing is like you've planned it!
  +
  +
'''Scoop-chan:''' Fufufu... I've gathered some information♪ Although the reason is still unknown, it seems that Carrot Lances have been popping up in various places all over Spring Garden!
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Various places? That means...
  +
  +
'''Scoop-chan:''' Yes. I'm sure there's one somewhere that can return you to your own world, there has to be a “giant Carrot Lance.”
  +
  +
  +
--Some days later, the World Flower of the Snow Plains, Winter Rose--
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Everyone, good work! We've now arrived at Winter Rose's central city!
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Fuu... After crossing the border, I was a little worried by the blizzards and snowscape, but we've somehow managed to make it...]
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Yes, I'm surprised that we didn't have any issues. Danchou-san and the others are well used to travelling.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' It's because we're always rushing around in all directions! Danchou-sama, the Flower Knights, and even myself are all used to long journeys and long distance expeditions!
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' No wonder you're so reliable. Although it seems the sightings of the Carrot Lances are widespread, Danchou and the others can reach them without problem.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Speaking of which, it would be great if we could find it quickly. It would be nice if there was a giant Carrot Lance in this country...
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' First of all, we should gather information. There's quite a lively atmosphere... Could it be a festival?
  +
  +
'''[[Dancing Lady Orchid]]:''' That's right! We're in the middle of the “Carrot Festival”!
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Ca-carrot Festival?
  +
  +
'''[[Cymbidium]]:''' There were a lot of Carrot Lances that appeared in the outskirts, so it's only natural that everyone harvested them and cooked them, then this event suddenly started.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' ...I never even had a thought to try and eat them. Can you eat them?
  +
  +
'''Cymbidium:''' Yes, there's no special problems. No matter which part of the carrots we looked at, there was only carrot, the taste and texture is normal. Rather, it has gotten a reputation for giving you energy if you eat them.
  +
  +
'''Dancing Lady Orchid:''' The lance parts can't be eaten, but it seems they can be recycled into weapons. So it's only natural that they're all going to be harvested.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Was there a huge one in the midst of all those Carrot Lances? One the size of a person, for example...
  +
  +
'''Dancing Lady Orchid:''' Hmm, I haven't heard of any, but one might be found later! I wonder if we should wait for information from the harvest team?
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Fumu, I see... Understood, thank you.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Well, if that's the case, it would be better to wait here for information than to head over to the site this time.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Yes. The festival goers are all bringing carrots in, so let's listen to what they have to say.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Well then, Danchou-sama, let's enjoy this festival with everyone until then! Let's eat some delicious food and regain our energy♪
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' A cooking festival, huh... Does that mean there's a way to enter as a cook?
  +
  +
'''Cymbidium:''' Yes, you're very welcome to. We have a huge amount of carrots, so I heard there is a huge recruitment for cooks.
  +
  +
'''Dancing Lady Orchid:''' Me and Cymbi-chan were on our way to join in the sweets making! Chocolate cakes, cookies, and...
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' How about tarts? I think they would be really tasty.
  +
  +
'''Dancing Lady Orchid:''' Ooh, how fancy! I want to try making that too♪
  +
  +
'''Cymbidium:''' Dancing Lady Orchid-chan, will you be OK? Think it's quite difficult to make tarts...
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' It'll be fine, you can make some with me♪ If you don't mind, I'd like to learn a lot of things from you two♪
  +
  +
...Ah, I've just decided things by myself! Danchou-san, everyone, is it OK if I go for a bit?
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' I have no problem. Actually, I'm looking forward to Kisaki's cooking.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Me too. I'll be waiting for it.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Thanks! Well the, I'll be off♪
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Ah...No good, I didn't get here in time...]
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Is there something the matter?
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [No...Normally, Mio's cooking is very good, but sometimes she makes a hobby of creating new menus...]
  +
  +
'''[[Alstroemeria]]:''' La la la dee la♪ A special “ultimate curry” made from mysterious carrots! How about a bite?
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' ...Ultimate curry?
  +
  +
'''Alstroemeria:''' Yes, ultimate curry! It's super tasty, try it, try it♪
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Another world's tasty ultimate curry... What a nice smell... Well, thanks for the food.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Ah! Please wait, Lisa-san, that curry is...!
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' *Chew... Chew... *
  +
  +
…!! Delicious!!
  +
  +
'''Alstroemeria:''' Really!? I'm so glad that you like it♪
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' H-huh? This time's alright...?
  +
  +
'''Alstroemeria:''' Go on, go on, everyone eat up♪
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Fumu... It's rare to see Lisa with such a happy expression. Ultimate curry, a dish that seems to befit it's name.
  +
  +
Well then, I'll also *Chew...chew, chew*! This is quite...
  +
  +
Hoooooo!!?
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Ah, it's spicy, just as I thought...
  +
  +
'''Alstroemeria:''' You get the sweetness of the carrots as a stopper in the first stage, then the spiciness blows through in the mid stage. You can enjoy two flavours on one plate♪
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Personally, I'd like more spiciness from the beginning. That way, the spiciness will increase as you progress from the mid stage to the end...
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [...Mio's special menus, normally referred to as “Mio specials” are like this. Lisa is fine when it comes to spice parties, so it causes her creativity and individuality to get out of control...]
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' W-well, it seems like this is going to get exciting in a different sense, right Danchou-sama...!

===A Day Off at Nerhas Ranch===
  +
The investigation of Nerhas Ranch in the North of Lotus Lake was not going well, so they decided to cut their losses and rest their wings. Celia and Akane rent some ranch horses and organise a race, while Mio helps Usagigoke learn to ride a horse, so the party enjoy their horse riding experiences to their hearts' content.

'''[[Sparaxis]]:''' Now, we're here! Everyone who's in the know knows Lotus Lake's rest spot, welcome to the Relaxing Hill, Narhas Ranch♪
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Thank you for showing us here, Sparaxis-san, Silk Tree-san. To come all the way out here from the central city was...
  +
  +
'''[[Silk Tree]]:''' We owed you a favour. Also, I also like coming to this place.
  +
  +
But for those who are new to Lotus Lake, the people of the floating and underwater cities might be more interesting...
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' No, I'm happy to be able to come here. This landscape... The ranches and wide grasslands remind us of the school which we attend.
  +
  +
Sightseeing in another world is fun, and educational, but I'm reminded our goal of returning to our original world. I think that if we can fulfil that properly, we can repay your kindness.
  +
  +
'''Silk Tree:''' Is that right, I see. Well, we will also do our best to support you.
  +
  +
'''Sparaxis:''' So, this is an example Carrot Lance, but I've found many bigger ones.
  +
  +
However, everyone isn't sure what they're looking for, so I'd like for you to take a look and confirm things. So, first, could you follow me?
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [...Yes... So there really weren't any here...]
  +
  +
'''Sparaxis:''' Arara, I'm sorry. After coming out all this way...
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Aah, well it can't be helped. Let's go gather our thoughts.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' You're right. We've come all this way to a ranch, so why don't we rest our wings...
  +
  +
'''[[Usagigoke]]:''' To you...To you...
  +
  +
Oooh...
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Hello, Usagigoke-san. What are you up to?
  +
  +
'''Usagigoke:''' Nazuna, Danchou, hello. I'm feeding the horses. Recently, there's been loads of carrots.
  +
  +
Does Danchou's horse also want some? Here you go.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [*...Crunch crunch...Chew chew...*]
  +
  +
'''Usagigoke:''' Oooh...
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' There are also horses. Since we came to this world, we've used horse drawn carts, and travelled with merchants, but this is the first time I've seen a place like this...
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' This kind of thing is pretty normal in our world, so now I'm feeling nostalgic.
  +
  +
'''Silk Tree:''' Speaking of which, everyone is pretty experienced with horse riding, right? I also have a little horse riding experience, so if you don't mind, would you ride with me?
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Horse riding...
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Experience...
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Fu, haa!!
  +
  +
'''Silk Tree:''' Waa...! Look at that Sparaxis-dono! Everyone is so skilled♪
  +
  +
'''Sparaxis:''' Yes, I'm honestly surprised... I'd heard the stories, but it's the first time I've seen a horse be ridden so well...
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' These horses have been cared for very well after all. You can feel that while riding them.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Also, it's a horse that's used for horse riding experiences, so I think it's very familiar with people.
  +
  +
'''Sparaxis:''' I've already accounted for that. There are no people who can ride like this in Lotus Lake or even here.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' How is it, Ryuuzouji? This is definitely a good opportunity to show off our good points. Why don't we have a little competition?
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' M-mmmm-myself and Celia-senpai!?
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Yeah, what do you think? It's been a while, so I wouldn't say it's impossible.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Suu, haa... Fuuu...
  +
  +
...No, it's an honour. As long as you're fine with me, I'll be your opponent.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Fufu, so it has finally come. Needless to say, there's no issues.
  +
  +
'''Sparaxis:''' Ara, how interesting. If that's the case, I'll referee♪ I'll go and get confirmation from the ranch hands, just wait a moment.
  +
  +
'''Relaxing Customer A:''' What is it? What's about to start over there?
  +
  +
'''Relaxing Customer B:''' Some professional horse riders are having a competition! Should we go watch?
  +
  +
'''Usagigoke:''' Everyone's so cool! Able to ride so well, and run so far...!
  +
  +
...U-chan also wants to try horse riding. But...
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Want to ride with me? I'll show you how, so sit in front.
  +
  +
'''Usagigoke:''' Really? It won't be too heavy for the horse?
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' If it's Usagigoke-chan, it should be completely fine♪ Here, get on.
  +
  +
'''Usagigoke:''' Oooh...
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' How is it? Not too scary?
  +
  +
'''Usagigoke:''' It's high up, so it's a little scary... But, it's impressive!
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Yeah yeah, I know that feeling♪
  +
  +
So, will we start by walking slowly? Once you get used to that, we'll go a little faster.
  +
  +
'''Usagigoke:''' Giddy up, giddy up♪ The horse is clip-clopping♪

===Wishing for Archaeological Murals===
  +
The party discovers a mural of Carrot Lances in a Banana Ocean ruin. With the cooperation of Burdock and the others, a translation can be expected, and the possibility of returning to their own world increases. However, as they're on the way to the city to decipher, they encounter pests.

'''Takahiro:''' [It feels like another world in another world. Even if it's all different from our world, it isn't a tourist spot though.]
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Yeah... It's so quiet and deserted... A mysterious, but lonely feeling...
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' It seems that the pests can appear anywhere in this world. These desolated ruins can now no longer be entered by people, and so maybe that's why they've been abandoned.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' But, the city was so lively, and everyone seemed so cheerful and full of energy. Even though they don't know when the city will be attacked, they're not afraid?
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' That's the way of this world, everyone trusts in the existence of the Flower Knights. The only reason we're allowed to enter into the places that are normally off limits is because of the trust placed in Danchou and the others.
  +
  +
Protect the people, so they can smile... It's easy to say, but to actually continue to make it a reality is difficult. I also want to be like that.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' If it's Celia-san and the others, you can definitely do it! Whether in this world, or your own!
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Fufu, thanks. It's inspiring to be encouraged by such a veteran assistant of a Knight Commander.
  +
  +
'''[[Carrot]]:''' Ah, welcome! How many customers?
  +
  +
Huh, re-ally, Danchou-san and co! I thought I heard your voice!
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' W-welcome?
  +
  +
'''Carrot:''' Aa, I'm sorry! My family home is a seaside shack, so it's a bit of a force of habit!
  +

'''Nazuna:''' Hello, Carrot-san. Could you be in the middle of investigative activities with Burdock-san?
  +
  +
'''Carrot:''' Yes, that's right! I'm assisting professor Burdock♪
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Assisting a professor! The Flower Knights really do have lots of different people.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Yeah... But, umm. I'm interested in something other than that.
  +
  +
'''Carrot:''' Hmm? What is it?
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' What you're holding, it's... A Carrot Lance, isn't it?
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Ah, that's true!
  +
  +
'''Carrot:''' Aaah, that's wrong, you're wrong! Everyone says it, but my weapon has nothing to do with Carrot Lances!

Follow me to get to Doc! Hey, Doc, Doc! …..Doc?

  +
  +
Umm, Carrot's used that weapon for a very long time. The topic of these current Carrot Lances are completely different.
  +
  +
'''Carrot:''' See♪
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' It feels like I've been told off... But now I understand.
  +
  +
'''Burdock:''' I didn't mean it that way. I've just noticed that Danchou and the others are here. I was too absorbed in my note taking...

'''Akane:''' No, we should apologise for interrupting your investigation. We have come here in search of Carrot Lances.
  +
  +
'''Burdock:''' I see. You say that you have come from another world... If so, I think you'll be surprised if you look at this mural.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Mural? It's all over this wall... Huh, that's!?
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' ...Are they, Carrot Lances? There are so many small ones buried, that people are working together to pull them out, and it also looks like a big one is drawn that's...
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Y-yes. It seems like it matches with our own situation. That one...
  +
  +
'''Burdock:''' From the state of it, it's probably a few centuries old, I would guess. The events are definitely the same as that time, and they made records.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' There's a precedent from a similar time in the past...? I would love to know more about it, but this mural's expectedly...
  +
  +
Hm... In addition to the mural, there are also things that look like letters engraved, but is actually written?
  +
  +
'''Burdock:''' I can't read much of it right now. But if we get back to the city and I have the materials, it's possible to decipher it.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Really!? So that means...
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' We might be able to get hold of an important clue. Not only about the identity of the Carrot Lances, but also a way to get to our own world.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' That's great, that would be pretty... Thank you, professor Burdock♪
  +
  +
'''Burdock:''' Pr-professor...? You mean... Me?
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Yeah. That's what I heard, is it wrong?
  +
  +
'''Burdock:''' ...I hope to be called that someday, but I'm not worthy of it yet. The road to being a professor isn't that easy.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' I-is that right? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
  +
  +
'''Burdock:''' No, it's fine. I'm not mad, so don't mind it. But I'm definitely not yet a professor.
  +
  +
… Professor... Professor... Professor Burdock, huh...♪
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' ...It doesn't look like it's such a bad thing.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Fufu, she's really pleased, isn't she♪
  +
  +
'''Carrot:''' Hooray, Burdock! I've never heard of such a discovery, and I'm sure you'll get some kind of prize!
  +
  +
'''Burdock:''' Yeah, that would be nice...
  +
  +
Well then, Danchou, everyone. Once I manage to decipher it, I'll let you know, so until then please take a rest in the city...
  +
  +
'''Pest:''' KishiIIIIIIIIiiiii!!!!
  +
  +
'''Burdock:''' Eh, pests!?
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Yaa!!
  +
  +
'''Pest:''' Ki, KishiIIIiiii!!!!
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' ...No matter how you look at it, it's cowardly to attack unexpectedly. I'll defeat you from the front in an honourable manner.
  +
  +
'''Carrot:''' Burdock, are you OK!?
  +
  +
'''Burdock:''' Y-yeah... The reaction was delayed, but Lisa came to help me...
  +
  +
Huh, what? My notebook's...?
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' I'm sorry. I saw it jump out, but I couldn't make it in time. Right now from over there, pest footsteps are approaching.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Just when we found a clue. No matter how, we need to get it back.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Yeah! For the sake of Professor Burdock!

===Walkure Blume===
  +
The “Giant Carrot Lance” that can return them to their own world has been confirmed to be in the Western wastelands of Kodaibana. Lisa, Akane, Celia, and Mio respond to Chocolate Lily with strong wills when she tells them they can't pass if they're not sufficiently prepared, and the group heads into their final battle in the pests' mountain headquarters.

  +
--The Western Wasteland, Kodaibana, Bremen's Ruined Defence Base--
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [...That's Kodaibana... This world's most dangerous place, the home base of the pests...]
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Yes... One thousand years ago, the pests appeared from here. Now that the blessing of the World Flowers can't reach this far away, even Flower Knights find it difficult to enter...
  +
  +
Therefore, all the pests coming from Kodaibana are repelled by ruined defence base at Bremen. It's a harsh place, but because of that, it's packed with some of the best Flower Knights.
  +
  +
'''[[Chocolate Lily]]:''' You've brought along more strangers here, Danchou. If you're in the mood for sightseeing, I'd prefer you go home.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' W-we're not sightseeing, Chocolate Lily-san. They might still be fresh, but everyone here is...
  +
  +
'''Chocolate Lily:''' I've heard about those people. The ones that have come from another world. One of them has even become a talking horse. They've received the World Flower's blessing and have begun to fight against the pests.
  +
  +
But here is different from any other place. You'll be in trouble if you come here with average abilities and preparedness.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Muu... There's no problem with our abilities. In the time since we've come here, we've defeated every pest we've met.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' We've been explained the dangers of this place many times over by Danchou and the others. With that in mind, we've decided to come here.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' As knights, and as Flower Knights. We aren't afraid, and have the courage to challenge the pests. For the sake of fulfilling our mission.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Besides, if we back down here, we'll have let down everyone who has helped us so far. So... Until the very end, we'll see it through properly.
  +
  +
'''[[Geranium]]:''' That's how it is, Chocolate Lily. Everyone's hardened their resolve, right?
  +
  +
'''Chocolate Lily:''' Haa... well, that's what I expected. After all, Danchou is involved.
  +
  +
I understand all of your resolve. But unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can't help you right now.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Right now? What kind of trouble has occurred?
  +
  +
'''Geranium:''' Yeah, an annoying pest has sprung up... It's hard to get extra people to help out, and I don't want everyone to be in a situation where they aren't acting of their own free will.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Annoying pest... Is that like a pest that looks armed spears and guns?
  +
  +
'''Geranium:''' Yeah, yeah, that! Its just ambushes and retreats over and over, so it's hard to pin down.
  +
  +
'''Chocolate Lily:''' On top of that, everytime it reappears, the wounds we had inflicted on it have healed. There must be a source of power somewhere, but that location hasn't been determined yet.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' A source of power. If that's the case, or rather, I think we can help.
  +
  +
'''Chocolate Lily:''' ...What? What do you mean?
  +
  +
  +
  +
--''The calamity that has pierced space and time, the Carrot Lance...''
  +
  +
''From that hole, people from a different world, lost in time, a disordered world born of the great chaos, countless small things that will appear everywhere and give power without regard to people or insects and cause further chaos.''
  +
  +
''Only the fat one will bring an end to the chaos. From that hole, people from different a world will return, and restore the order to both worlds. By doing so, those countless small things shall disappear...''
  +
  +
'''Burdock:''' – That's what it says, the contents of the mural.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [...It's somewhat ridiculous, to the point of sounding crazy, and it's so sudden that the contents sound unrealistic...]
  +
  +
'''Burdock:''' Uu...I-I'm sorry...
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Anyway, if it's like how we came to this world in the beginning, if we get sucked into the hole made by the Carrot Lance again...
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' We can return to our own world, and the Carrot Lances in Spring Garden will disappear... or something like that?
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Yes. I'm grateful that the story that we've been following so far has changed to be almost certain. Thank you, Burdock.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' But, we still don't know the location of that “fat one”...
  +
  +
'''Burdock:''' That was also written. It looks like it's in a hidden place, and the way to get there is a little special. I don't think you'll be able to find it normally, so please take these notes.
  +
  +
...I really wanted to go. So absolutely tell me what happens.
  +
  +
'''Geranium:''' Huuuh, there's such a cave... Did you know Chocolate Lily?
  +
  +
'''Chocolate Lily:''' No, this is the first I've known of it. The entrance has been well hidden, and nobody would have ever found it without the information from the mural.
  +
  +
...It doesn't seem like the pests travel through here neither. I don't know if they just haven't noticed it, or if it's too narrow for them to pass through.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' Even if we run into them, this isn't the place for a battlefield. I can't move, and if it collapses, we'll be buried alive.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' But, I'm actually relieved. Takahiro-kun could come along.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Yeah... It's good that it's just about horse sized.]
  +
  +
'''Chocolate Lily:''' ...I don't think it was necessary for you to come this far.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [No, I'm also a main party. I'm not of much help, but I'm just my resolve lies with everyone. No matter where they go, I'll follow.]
  +
  +
'''Chocolate Lily:''' ...Hm. It's the first time to see a horse that longs for death.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [L-longs for death. I don't have that pl...]
  +
  +
'''Geranium:''' Fufu, sorry. Her way of speaking is harsh, but Chocolate Lily really doesn't want anyone to die.
  +
  +
'''Chocolate Lily:''' Don't say unneeded things, Geranium. I'm worried about these...
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Mu... It's outdoor light. Everyone, the exit is in sight.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' It took longer as I thought. The problem is, will the giant Carrot Lance from the same time time as the mural still be here or not.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' ...That much isn't a problem, Lisa. Look at that.
  +
  +
'''Geranium:''' Uwaa... Huge...
  +
  +
'''Chocolate Lily:''' What is that ridiculous object...? How haven't we found it until now...?
  +
  +
'''Geranium:''' Who knows... How is it everyone? Is it the giant Carrot Lance that you've been looking for?
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Yes, I feel like this is it... Although, I feel it is a lot bigger than the one that brought us here...]
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' It looks like it's worth a try. But before that...
  +
  +
'''Pest:''' KishiIIIIIIIIIIiiiii!!!!
  +
  +
'''Flock of Pests:''' Doou, Doou, HaidoOOOoooOOOOOO!!!!
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' What a huge number of pests...! This situation is...
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' It's fine, Kisaki. Myself, and everyone is here.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' That's right, Mio-senpai. This amount of pests is nothing.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Y-yeah...!
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' The tremors have stopped... Well, shall we go? This will be our final battle in this world.
  +

  +
  +
===End===
  +
The party won the fierce battle at Kodaibana. However, it took a lot of time and preparation to pull out the giant Carrot Lance. So until that time comes, Mio and the others spend time relaxing in Spring Garden.

'''Pest:''' Dooo...Hai, Do, ooo...
  +

'''Akane:''' Haa, ha... Did we beat it...?
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Yes, it seems that way. Judging by it's strength, I think that was the enemy general just now.
  +
  +
'''Geranium:''' Everyone, great work! We managed to defeat the other pests, so now we can relax for the time being♪
  +
  +
'''Chocolate Lily:''' Hmm... That was more fighting than I expected. There were some dangerous moments.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' But, we managed to fight as a unit. I'm proud to have been able to fight alongside all of you.
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Danchou-san, after of this...]
  +
  +
'''Danchou:''' After this, we just pull out the giant Carrot Lance.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' That's right... With that, we'll return to our own world...
  +
  +
Aooh, everyone! Until now... Thank you very much up until now!
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Also, thank you from me. To Danchou-san, to all the Flower Knights... Also, to all the people of the world that have helped us.]

  +
'''Akane:''' ...You're right. Once we return to our own world, we'll have to say goodbye to this world...
  +
  +
It seemed an age, but it passed so quick. It would be a shame to go with things as they are, I'm a little ambivalent.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Yeah... I wish I had more time to properly say goodbye and thank everyone who got involved...
  +
  +
'''Geranium:''' What should we do, Chocolate Lily? We now know the locations, and if we pull out all the small Carrot Lances, the pests won't be able to recover...
  +
  +
'''Chocolate Lily:''' ...There's nothing that can't wait. If you have any unfinished business, you should do it. Don't worry about this.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' ...No, let's just go as things are. That's why we came here after all. We can leave a message of thanks for Burdock and the others with Danchou.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Yes, that way would be better I think. I'm also getting a little lonely...
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [...Mio, Akane, is that alright with you?]
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' ...Yeah, I understand.
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' You're right... We shouldn't leave any stone unturned. Actually, just forget about it.
  +
  +
'''Chocolate Lily:''' ...Understood. If you guys are fine with it, let's get it over with.
  +
  +
'''Geranium:''' Well then everyone, get in position! We'll combine our strengths and pull out this giant Carrot Lance!!
  +
  +
-''A few days later''
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' ...So, they say thank you!
  +
  +
'''Japanese Apricot:''' Fumu... It was a much longer trip than we expected. Thanks for telling us.
  +
  +
'''Sakura:''' Sorry. I told them that Tampala-chan might have known something.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' No no, don't worry about it. As a result, they were able to go to various countries and really enjoyed themselves.
  +
  +
'''Sakura:''' Fufu, it really helps to hear that. Myself, and Japanese Apricot-chan also, were su-per worried how they were getting along...
  +
  +
...Ara, this tea is delicious. Where did you by it?
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' A cafe in Winter Rose. Alstroemeria-san told me it's perfect for after a meal or tea-times.
  +
  +
'''Sakura:''' Ara ara, is that right. Next time, I'll go and take a look.
  +
  +
'''Japanese Apricot:''' These Japanese sweets are also delicious. It's not too sweet, just like a salted plum. Is it from Bergamot Valley?
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Yes, it's from a Flower Knight called Azuki Bean. I was thinking of bringing it home to our own world, but I bought a little too much.
  +
  +
'''Japanese Apricot:''' Fufu, is that so. You've taken an interest in things from this world, that's pleasing.
  +
  +
...No, I apologise. This current state is a huge emergency for you...
  +
  +
'''Sakura:''' That's right... After finally finding the big Carrot Lance, everyone's combined power couldn't “pull it out”.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' It can't be helped. That is a pretty giant one, and it's buried very deeply. No matter how many Flower Knights joined in, we couldn't manage to get it pulled out.
  +
  +
But, we're not going to give up, and we now have a clear solution. I'm sure it's called... a Whale Ship?
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' Yes! With the Whale Ship's power, we can pull it out, and once it's out, a strong suction will come from the hole, so everyone who isn't involved can evacuate safely, so don't worry!
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [Is that how it is... I had forgotten about that point, so it's actually a good thing that we couldn't pull it out before.]
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' ...But, the Whale Ship's service and maintenance schedule is complicated in so many different ways... It seems like we won't get permission for this for the time being.
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' And so, for the time being, we're in this world. So we have time available to go and meet all the people that have taken care of us, so please don't worry Sakura-san and Japanese Apricot-san.
  +
  +
'''Sakura:''' Fufu, understood. Everyone's become very reliable, haven't they? It's like talking to fully fledged Flower Knights.
  +
  +
'''Japanese Apricot:''' Yes. I think you've improved greatly since we first met, you even have experience of battle in Kodaibana, it seems.
  +
  +
How about it? After our tea, shell we do some sparring? I wonder how strong you have become, I'm interested in it as a Flower Knight.
  +
  +
'''Celia:''' I'm honoured by your invitation. As a knight, I'd also like to ask it of you.
  +
  +
'''Nazuna:''' ...Everyone, do your best. Currently, Japanese Apricot-san and Sakura-san are the strongest Flower Knights in all of Blossom Hill so...
  +
  +
'''Mio:''' Eh, eeeh? They're such amazing people?
  +
  +
'''Akane:''' Of course, they're people of such calibre... Since I saw them in that first battle, I've had a feeling they're outstanding within the Flower Knights.
  +
  +
'''Lisa:''' Then, there's even less reason to turn them down. I wish to challenge my superiors.
  +
  +
'''Sakura:''' Ara ara, ufufu. Please be gentle with me♪
  +
  +
-''A mysterious disaster. The Carrot Lance guides the knights and Flower Knights towards their return. It's a dreamy, illusory, mysterious time that definitely happened.''
  +
  +
'''Takahiro:''' [...Danchou-san. Do you remember that conversation we had? When I said about how I want to be able to support everyone on the battlefield just like you, Danchou.]
  +
  +
[I have one more favour. Can you tell me all about how you battle in this world in the time before we return to our own?]
  +
  +
[...Eh? That's completely fine, but in return you want me to teach you how to ride a horse? Because you want to be able to ride in a cool way?]
  +
  +
[Understood, leave it to me. Seeing as it's you Danchou, you'll be a first class rider...No, you'll be a jousting knight.]

Event Overview   Event Story

1st Half

The Garden of Many Flowers

A mysterious item known as a “Carrot Lance” has caused Mio, Celia, Akane, and Lisa to come from another world and get lost in the World of Flowers, Spring Garden, where they meet the Flower Knights. On the other hand, Takahiro has taken the form of a horse for some reason.

The Garden of Many Flowers

-Far, far away, there is another world that is another world that is different from Spring Garden.

--Helen's Hill, Winford Academy--

Takahiro: –Yeah. We're going to have another full day of good weather. The breeze feels good, and that time is definitely...

Mio: Fuu, I've caught up. Morning, Takahiro-kun.

Takahiro: Morning, Mio. It's an early start today.

Mio: That should be my line. Takahiro-kun, you didn't eat breakfast, and as soon as I noticed, you left.

Also, didn't you forget your lunch? That's why I've brought it to you, here.

Takahiro: Ah, aah... Sorry. Thanks.

Mio: You're welcome♪

...Takahiro-kun, you're going horse riding, aren't you? Do you mind if I come along?

Takahiro: Yeah, of course. It makes me happy to hear you ask, Mio. Well, shall we go?

???: [[Hip, Hi...ip, Hi...]]

Lisa: Fuu... I can't pull it out...

Akane: Aah. As I thought, it's impossible with just two of us...

Mio: Morning, Akane-chan, Lisa-chan.

Lisa: Good morning, Mio-senpai. And to you too, Mizuno-senpai.

Takahiro: Morning... Eh, what are you two doing?

Akane: It's pretty much as you can see. We came to do some morning joust training and this thing was stuck here. So the two of us were trying to pull it out.

Takahiro: ...What? That huge mysterious object? Why was this thing buried?

Mio: Is it a... giant carrot? It kind of looks like a lance handle is sticking out of it...

Lisa: During a break, we called if a Carrot Lance.

Takahiro: But still... Well, if that's the case, I'll give you a hand. It doesn't make any sense, but it's getting in the way of your practice no matter what we think of it.

Mio: I wonder if we grab it by this leafy part and pull together, it would work? Just like a giant turnip.

Akane: Yeah, I hope so. Let's all four of us combine our strength. One, two...!

Lisa: ...It won't pull out.

Mio: Don't be put down.

Akane: No, it feels a lot more loose than before. If we had one more person, we could probably...

Celia: Morning... Huh? What are you all doing? You've all been together since morning.

Takahiro: Ah, Celia-senpai. Good Morning. Actually, we're...

Celia: I see... At Winford Academy, I wouldn't like to think anyone would pull this prank, but it would be worse to think it's the work of an outsider...

I understand. Let's get the student council to look into this. Of course, I will need to report this to the teachers, so everyone, please don't talk about this too much.

Lisa: Of course. It could be the culprit's goal to cause an uproar, so there's no need for us to go out of our way to please them.

Takahiro: So saying that, I'd like to pull this thing out now. Could you lend us a hand please, Celia-senpai?

Celia: Of course. Is everyone pulling on these leaves? Open up a space for me to get in too.

Takahiro: Thank yo... Ah. Celia-senpai, that position's...

Akane: Ha, hawawa... Celia-senpai is right beside me...!

Celia: …? What's wrong, Ryuuzouji? Aren't you going to pull out this Carrot Lance with everyone? If you don't hold onto the leaf tightly, you won't be able to use your full strength.

Akane: Y-yeeeeees...! Ah, umm, breathe... Celia-senpai's body heat, it's so close...!!

Mio: Ahaha... Akane-chan, who loves Celia-senpai, is going to be a little overexcited all morning.

Lisa: You're too worked up, Akane-senpai.

Takahiro: Does Akane need to rest? It can't be helped, we'll need to wait for someone else to pass by...

Akane: [HaaaaAAAAAAA!!]

Takahiro: Just when I thought so, she's awoken!?

Mio: Akane-chan, has an amazing spirit!

Celia: Wonderful, Ryuuzouji, that spirit! Everyone, match that! One, two... three!

Lisa: Kyaa!

Takahiro: Alright, it's out! ...Huh?

Akane: Wh-what's that!? The open hole is sucking me in...!!

Celia: Ah, the handholds... Everyone, link arms! At the very least, don't get separated...!

Mio: Takahiro-kun!

Takahiro: Mio! Akane! Celia-senpai! Lisa!

Mio: ...Ro, tatata... It's...?

Akane: A meadow... Or something like that... But, was there such a place at the academy? It all seems a little too wide...

Lisa: We weren't in such a place to start with. Everyone was in the academy's practice field...

Celia: Aah, so... that's right. We got dragged into the Carrot Lance's hole... It seems like the destination was this meadow...Fumu...

Mio: F-for now, is everyone safe? Akane-chan, Lisa-chan, Celia-senpai, myself...

Huh? Ta-Takahiro-kun's?

Ah, Takahiro-kun? I'm glad, you're here after...

Pest: Kishaaaaa!!!!

Mio: Eh, kyaaaa!!

Akane: Wh-what, that monster's!?

Lisa: Th-that's a costume, isn't it? That thing, is quite surprising...

Celia: Everyone, run away! I'll hold it off, quickly get –

Pest: Ki, kishaaa...

Sakura: Fuu... Are you guys alright? Are you unhurt?

Celia: Ah, aah... Thank you, you've saved us...

Japanese Apricot: It's dangerous here, so fall back. –Danchou-san, your orders!

Celia: ...Are they knights...? No, those weapons and that armour, it's too authentic... I don't think it's intended for competition...

Lisa: Swords, guns, spears, hammers... There are a lot of people with different weapons... What's all of this about...?

Mio: That monster also didn't look like it was a costume either....!

Akane: Also, we had that object that was suck in the ground was also strange... Am I having a nightmare...?

Nazuna: ...That reaction, could it be that this is the first time you've seen pests or Flower Knights...? Danchou-sama, these people might be...

No, we need to evacuate first! Everyone, this way please!

Celia: Many thanks. Everyone, follow her without panicking!

Lisa, Mio, and Akane: [[Yes!!]]

Mio: Huh, kya!?

Lisa: Eh, Mio-senpai!

Akane: Lisa, don't stop! I'll go and save Mio –

???: [Haaaaa!!!!]

Pest: Kisha!!?

Lisa: Th-that horse defended Mio-senpai...?

Celia: That's what it looked like to me. Also, that horse didn't just scream like a person, did it...?

Akane: Y-yes... Moreover, the voice was quite familiar... No, it can't be...

Pest: Kishaaa...!!

Strange Horse: [Shit, it's not working... What the hell's going on, that's...]

Mio: E-eh? That voice, it can't be...

Strange Horse: [Are you OK, Mio! Get on me, we're going to escape!]

Mio: I thought so... You're Takahiro-kun!?

A Flower Knight's Capabilities

The party decide to head to Bergamot Valley to start looking for clues on how to return to their own world, and their own forms. On the way, at the giant sakura tree in the beautiful Feria's Flower Garden, the Knight Commander consents to Celia and the others' request “I want to be able to fight the pests.”

A Flower Knight's Capabilities

-In the meadows outside of the city of Blossom Hill, the party of knights had a mysterious encounter, and after successfully dispelling the pests, they head back to the city. So now, everyone will need to explain their situation –

Celia: –Spring Garden, hm...? It's really hard to believe, but it really does look like this is a different world from our own...

Lisa: Flower Knights, Pests, World Flowers... It's all like an anime or manga world...

Sakura: Anime? Manga?

Lisa: Umm... It means like a work of fantasy. It's a type of entertainment in our world...

Sakura: You have those kinds of things? I'm a little interested.

But from our eyes, the peaceful world that you live in which has no pests is more like an anime or manga.

Japanese Apricot: But, ourselves, and these girls are not fantasies, we actually exist. We should each be in our rightful places, and he should be returned to his rightful form.

...He is correct, right?

Takahiro: [Yes, my name is Mizuno Takahiro. For some reason I'm now like this, but I was originally the same as everyone, a human and a man.]

Mio: You really are Takahiro-kun... Yeah, it's half unbelievable, but I am also somehow half convinced....

Akane: Certainly, Mizuno's love for horses is unrivalled. Did coming to a different world somehow mix with his desires and cause him to turn into a horse?

Takahiro: [...It's hard to deny it completely, but I wonder if people can turn into horses purely through determination...?]

Nazuna: I don't think it's impossible. Actually, there were others like you that came from different worlds before, but then there were many different incidents.

The one thing in common is that they all received the protection of the World Flowers. So they were able to fight against the pests as “Flower Knights”.

Takahiro: [But, I didn't become one of these “Flower Knights”, I'm a horse.]

Nazuna: Yes. Only females can become Flower Knights, so because Mizuno Takahiro-san is male, I think that the protection of the World Flowers has had a different effect.

But I don't know what actions were taken that made it come to be...

Lisa: Well, seeing as it's Mizuno-senpai, isn't it understandable?

Celia: That's right. I don't like to say it, but... It's very much like Mizuno.

Takahiro: [Lisa and Celia-senpai too...]

Celia: It was a compliment. I haven't seen someone who loves and cares for horses the way you do.

So it's easy to accept that you've become a horse, given the current situation. I apologise if I upset you.

Takahiro: [...No, it's fine. With that explanation, I think I'm starting to understand it a little bit myself.]

Lisa: However, it's going to be a problem if you stay like this forever. Is there something we can do...?

Japanese Apricot: I'm sure there's something. But the first thing is you need to start believing that there is.

Sakura: In order to that, we need to find a solution. Do we have any clues?

Akane: Clues... What about that Carrot Lance?

Mio: Umm... Everyone pulled out the Carrot Lance, at that time a huge sucking force pulled us into the hole, that's when I noticed, or more like felt...

Akane: The way you're explaining this sounds like you've gone crazy... I'm not sure if I can believe it.

Japanese Apricot: No, I believe it. What's this “Carrot Lance”?

Akane: It looks like a huge lance when you look at it, but the tip was like a huge carrot like object. It was driven deep into the ground in our world.

Sakura: A giant, lance like carrot...

Mio: That reaction... Do you have something in mind?

Sakura: I don't know what a Carrot Lance is, but I know someone who would probably make something like that. Someone who invented a whale that flies in the sky, and the bamboo shoot.

Lisa: ...As I thought, this is a world from anime or manga.

Celia: All these strange things. I'd like to see them once.

Nazuna: You mean Tampala-san. If so, let's head out for Bergamot Valley!

Takahiro: [Bergamot Valley... Is that far away from here?]

Sakura: Yeah, it's two countries away. But, we as long as Danchou-san's unit is with us, I don't think we'll need to worry.

Japanese Apricot: We can't leave Blossom Hill, but please allow us to escort you to Lilywood's border. We'll move ahead and get rid of the dangerous pests.

Mio: Waaa, what amazing scenery...! There are a lot of sakura trees in Helen's Hill, but I've never seen one this big!

Nazuna: Fufu, are you surprised? This is Feria's Flower Garden, it's one of the best flower viewing spots in Blossom Hill. As Mio-san says, that bug sakura is the main attraction♪

Celia: At first I was only confused, but now I've calmed down and look at it, this is a surprisingly beautiful world...

Takahiro: [Yeah. The air is clean, and the wind feels good... I just want to run right now.]

Akane: Saying that Mizuno, that injury to your leg isn't causing any problems?

Takahiro: Aah, this body seems like it's doing well. Everything feels light, like I could start to fly.

Akane: Fufu, I understand what you're saying, but horses aren't flying creatures.

Lisa: That's right. You might be roaming around like a child, but we still don't know where the pests might appear from.

Takahiro: [I-I know. I don't want to cause trouble to Danchou-san or the Flower Knights.]

Celia: Pests....?

Danchou, I have a suggestion. Could you please instruct us on how to fight the pests?

Nazuna: Eh? That's, everyone doesn't need to fight...

Celia: No, that's the situation we're in. It seems like it's going to be a long road, and it would be best if we could protect ourselves.

Besides, we're different from the Flower Knights of this world, but we were also aiming to become “knights” in our own world. As long as we have the strength to fight, we should be fighting.

Lisa: If that's the case, I also agree. The strength to fight the pests... You said that we had received “The blessing of the World Flowers”, didn't you?

I saw a child just like me fighting against the pests. That means, that even someone like me could...

Akane: That's right... She said that would defeat the dangerous pests, and that it was best to test our strength early on.

How much can we fight right now, how much could we improve... I would be grateful if Danchou and the Flower Knights could assess it one time.

Takahiro: [...What about you, Mio?]

Mio: ...To be honest, I'm scared, but in order to return to our world, I also want to do my best with everyone.

...Also, of course, I want Takahiro-kun to become a knight, and not a horse...

Nazuna: ...So, Danchou-sama. What should we do about everyone's suggestion?


If option 1, “Of course we'll do it.” is chosen;

Mio: Thank you, Danchou-san! I'll work my hardest!

Akane: Although I know about swords and jousting, I'm a complete amateur when it comes to being a Flower Knight. I look forward to your guidance and support.


If option 2, “Let's give them all of our support.” is chosen;

Celia: Thanks. Although I might be a complete stranger to all of this, I promise that I will do everything in my power to not bring shame to the knight's name.

Lisa: But please don't treat us as children. Even if you guide us strictly, we'll follow you properly.


Pest: Kishaaaaaa!!

Nazuna: Oho... Speak of the devil and he will come! Danchou-sama, we're in your care!

Under a World Flower

Arriving at the nation deep in the forest, Lilywood, the party decided to take a short rest. While speaking with the Flower Knights Elder Flower and Heavenly Bamboo, who are also doctors, Mio and the others deepen the understanding of their world's knights and competitive jousting.

Under a World Flower

--World Flower of the Deep Forest, Lilywood--

Mio: Wa....! Such a huge city in the middle of the forest... It's like a world from a picture book...!

Akane: Aah, and it also has a completely different feel than Blossom Hill. Just as I thought I was getting used to it, this world continues to surprise me.

Nazuna: This is Lilywood, a country with the specific aim to coexist with nature. It is also my home town♪

Celia: Now that you say that, I'm really looking forward to travelling around this world.

Lisa: That's right. I know this isn't the place, but the nature is very calming...

Scoop-chan: Everyone, you must be tired from your long trip! Welcome to Lilywood♪

Nazuna: Huh, Scoop-chan? You're welcoming... We never even sent word ahead...

Scoop-chan: Well you know, I'm the all knowing Scoop-chan! I heard about “visitors from another world” on the wind and so I excitedly came out to meet them♪

Takahiro: [All knowing, that could help. Ourselves and Danchou-san's group have a lot of information that we don't understand. We're counting on you.]

Scoop-chan: Of course, please rely on me and ask me for any favours♪ I will spare no energy in providing a solution to your problems, and will give you as much useful and interesting information as I can...

......

Takahiro: […? Why are you staring at my face?]

Scoop-chan: Eeeeeeh!! The horse is talking!!?

– No, no, pardon my rudeness! This is much stranger than I was expecting!

Mio: ...Hey, Takahiro-kun. Up until now, you've been talking normally with Danchou-san and the others, but...

Takahiro: [Yeah... I should probably be a little more careful around people who don't know the circumstances. Apparently, horses don't normally talk in this world...]

Lisa: …What luck, you'd have been disappointed if you had wanted to talk to the horses of this world.

Akane: That's not the case, it would more be like Mizuno to be relieved instead of disappointed.

Celia: Now that's done, let;s get back on topic. We should continue to aim for Bergamot Valley, and ask Scoop-chan to gather information on the Carrot Lance... Would that be favourable?

Scoop-chan: Yes, leave it to me, Celia-san! It may take me a little time, but look forward to it!

Danchou-sama and everyone must be tired though. I've made reservations for accommodation and doctors, so for today, please take some time to rest here♪

Heavenly Bamboo: ...Hm, there seems to be no problem with your health. Everyone seems fine.

Elder Flower: You said you were from a different world, so I was a little worried, but it seems like you're basically the same as us, what a relief.

Lisa: Thank you Heavenly Bamboo-san, Elder Flower-san. It makes me feel better to get an examination from a doctor.

Elder Flower: Don't worry about it! Is that the person who's been having a tough time?

Even so, I was surprised. The world in which you all live has no threats like the pests, right?

Heavenly Bamboo: Even so, it seems that you have had some experience fighting against pests. It's a little hard to believe.

Nazuna: That's correct. Everyone jumped in quickly!

Celia: Only because the strength received from this world and the proper guidance from Danchou and the Flower Knights. We could never have managed alone.

Nazuna: But, normally those who don't do anything won't be able to do anything. Of course... Jousting was it?

Celia: That's right... It was a little surprising at first, but I believe it's the spirit of jousting that I had cultivated which allowed me to face the unknown threat.

Heavenly Bamboo: It must be excellent combat training, jousting. I'm interested in what it's like.

Celia: To put it simply, you arm yourself, ride a horse, and when you pass your opponent, you thrust your lance at their armour. It's easy to say and tough to do, so daily training is essential.

Not only in physical strength, technique and strategy, but also training the “knight” spirit of protecting the weak... I think that's the true essence of jousting.

So when I heard about the relationship between the pests and the Flower Knights, I could feel that I could get closer to my goal of being a knight. I want to learn a lot of things from those that risk their lives to protect the people. And I want to fight by their sides... That's what I've come to think.

Heavenly Bamboo: The spirit of chivalry. How wonderful. There are a lot of people that want to emulate it.

Celia: …? What a strange thing to say. Since they're called Flower Knights, isn't everyone familiar with chivalry?

Heavenly Bamboo: Of course, there are some like that. But, to say that all of them are “knights” might not be correct.

Elder Flower: For example, myself and Heavenly Bamboo are Flower Knights as well as doctors. We also want to protect everyone, but are we really like knights?

Heavenly Bamboo: Our fighting styles don't use only weapons like swords or spears. There are many types of Flower Knights, others use guns or hammers, even magic... Animals and other strange creatures also commonly join in the fighting.

Takahiro: [Fumu... Even though they're called knights, they have various methods of fighting. Mio was able to use something that was like magic, so that's also the power of a “Flower Knight”.

Mio: Ehehe, but I was a little embarrassed at first. Celia-senpai and Lisa-chan have lances, Akane-chan has a sword, but I just have this magical stick...

Lisa: I think it suits you. It's perfect for Mio-senpai's image.

Akane: Umu. It makes it feel more like a different world, I'm a little jealous.

Celia: A knight that doesn't fit the mould of a knight, huh...? Even so, they have been protecting the people by fighting against the threats of the ancient world...

Fufu... I'm becoming more and more interested in the existence of the Flower Knights. While we're in this situation, if at all possible, I would like to learn as much as I can.

The Whereabouts of the Carrot Lances

The party heads deep to Ukagami Valley, deep in Bergamot Valley to search for the rumoured Flower Knight, Tampala. Even if there was no relation, she might be interested in the Carrot Lance, and so they headed to the location where she was last rumoured to be. There they found a large number of Carrot Lances and strong pests.

The Whereabouts of the Carrot Lances

--The World Flower of the Windy Valley, Bergamot Valley--

Nazuna: Everyone, we're here! This is Bergamot Valley!

Lisa: We've finally made it. That was a longer journey than I expected.

Mio: But, wasn't it fun?

Lisa: ...You're right. Well, apart from al those pests, it wasn't too bad.

Takahiro: [This is also an amazing place. It's completely different from Blossom Hill and Lilywood. But, it feels like...]

Akane: You think so too, Mizuno. This certainly feels a little like Japan.

Nazuna: Japan... Is that the name of a place in your world, Akane-san?

Akane: Yeah. It's where myself, Mizuno, and also Mio comes from. It doesn't only have the rugged terrain like here, but the scenery and the atmosphere feels very similar.

Takahiro: [Conversely, Blossom Hill felt a lot like Helen's Hill. I didn't have any feelings of discomfort, so I spent my time normally...]

Nazuna: I see, I see... So there are similar areas in other worlds, what a strange feeling, right Danchou-sama!

Celia: I've always been interested in Mizuno and the others' homeland, and it seems a city is near. Why don't we stop there and talk.

Takahiro: [You're right. Let's have this conversation later.]

--Bergamot Valley, City Centre--

Asian Royal Fern: Tampala-san? She's not here right now.

Nazuna: Ara, is that right? Where has she gone to?

Asian Royal Fern: I'm sure she said something about Ukagami Valley? I'm not really sure, but she was muttering about carrots or something....

Lisa: As I thought, it wasn't a mistake. What Japanese Apricot-san and Sakura-san were saying.

Akane: Yeah. Let's head to this Ukagami Valley as soon as possible.

Azuki Bean: Hello. I've brought your Japanese sweets as always.

Akane: ...Japanese sweets?

Asian Royal Fern: Ah, you're hear Azuki-chan! Thanks as always♪

Azuki Bean: And to you too, thank you for helping me with that favour♪ It makes me happy that you always order lots from me.

Asian Royal Fern: I'm always using my head while building. I need to keep up my nutritional supply of sweet things!

Akane: ...Sweet, Japanese sweets...

Asian Royal Fern: Ah, do you want to have some? My work is almost done, and I've ordered quite a lot.

Azuki Bean: I thought quite a lot of people had come, which means Danchou is here. These are freshly made, so everyone, if you don't mind, please take them♪

Mio: Waa, they all look so tasty♪

Celia: They look so elaborate. They're so cute, it seems a shame to eat them.

Nazuna: Well then, I won't hold back...

Huh? Akane-san, why have you turned your back? Don't you want any sweets?

Akane: I-I'm currently in training. So I'm trying to refrain from such things, yes...

Lisa: You really should eat, Akane-senpai. If you don't eat Japanese sweets in another world, how to put it, you'll definitely regret it.

Akane: B-but...

Azuki Bean: I'm sorry. Are sweet things no good? I also have less sweet things, but today I only brought...

Akane: ...N-no, I don't hate it. I'll eat it too. Seeing as it's been recommended so much, it would be rude to turn it down, yes...!

Azuki Bean: Really? I'm glad♪

Lisa: Goodness, you can't be honest with yourself.

Pest: KyuooAAaaa.....

Celia: Fuu... That's all of them. Everyone, are you uninjured?

Lisa: They weren't particularly strong. They were perfect opponents without making me hungry.

Celia: Don't drop your guard. This isn't a competition like jousting. No matter whether the enemy is strong or not, there's always the risk of dying.

Lisa: O-of course I know that. I'm being careful.

Nazuna: Fufuu... Everyone is starting to feel like a Flower Knight, right Danchou-sama. They're becoming reliable.

Takahiro: […]

Mio: Takahiro-kun, what's up? Are you not feeling well?

Takahiro: [No... I was just thinking of how great everyone has become. To fight bravely against that monster. It would be nice if I could do something...]

Akane: That's why you're disappointed. There's not much you can do in that condition, Mizuno.

Mio: That's right. Even though you're not a Flower Knight, Takahiro-kun, you still saved me at the beginning.

Takahiro: [But...]

Danchou: Even if you can't fight directly, you can offer support.

Takahiro: [Support...? Can I be useful in everyone's fight...?]

Akane: I see... Of course, that role is the most optimal for Mizuno right now. If we think about it as him being a begleiter.

Nazuna: Beg-leiter...?

Akane: They support the knights during jousts. They support the knights in every aspect from caring for the horses and maintaining the armour to training regimes and strategic planning.

Mio: I've also been able to win due to Takahiro-kun's strategies and instruction. Definitely, fighting against pests, he's...

Takahiro: [...Danchou-san, I beg you. Please think of me in you pest fighting methods.]

[I also want to be of use to everyone in this world!]

Tampala: ...That horse, spoke...

Takahiro: [Ah.]

Tampala: What a ridiculously realistic texture... What on earth did you use to reproduce this? Is the speech mechanism in it's throat? Do the sounds change depending on the reaction? To begin with, what concept and objective did you...

Nazuna: U-U-mmm, Tampala-san. Actually, this horse isn't mechanical...

Tampala: –Really... It's not mechanical, but is a person who was turned into a horse...

Takahiro: [...Is this person not surprised? She's just normal.]

Mio: She's supposed to be an inventor, so maybe her outlook is different...?

Akane: You are Tampala, right? For some reason, we are looking for a Carrot Lance. Could you tell us anything you may know as an inventor?

Tampala: No, the Carrot Lance isn't one of my inventions. I also heard the rumours and have come to investigate.

According to the rumours, there is a colony of them just a little ahead... Want to come along?

Nazuna: Th-that's a Carrot Lance...! They really do look like lances, and also carrots, such strange objects!

Takahiro: [There was also one of them in our world. What is this...]

Mio: It's a little tiny...? The one we saw was so much bigger that it took five of us to pull it out...

Tampala: Fumu, there are individual differences. Curiouser and curiouser... There are a lot of them growing, so let's take some home as a sample.

Akane: ...Wait, Tampala! There's something coming from above!

Pest: KishiiiiiiiiiIII!!!

Celia: It somewhat looks like a knight... It looks a lot stronger than any of the pests so far, but there's no way we can lose!

Lisa: Also, it would be a bother if they ruined the only clues we've found. Let's beat them quickly.

2nd Half

The Girls Who Ate the Carrots

While looking for the next Carrot Lance, the party heads to Winter Rose. The city is in the middle of a festival using the Carrot Lances as cooking ingredients, and the cookery loving Mio participates with local Flower Knights. On the other hand, while the spicy food loving Lisa enjoys the ultimate curry, Akane is knocked out by it's spiciness.

The Girls Who Ate the Carrots

-The party found a colony of Carrot Lances in the Ukagami Valley in the North of Bergamot Valley. After defeating the pests that appeared to block the way, the investigation resumes, but...

Akane: ...It's no use. No matter how many Carrot Lances we pull out, there aren't any holes opening up like last time...

Lisa: The Carrot Lances here are all too small. Of course, it needs to be much much bigger like the one last time...

Mio: But, it doesn't look like we'll find any more around here...

Tampala: Yeah. This was the only reported sighting in Ukagami Valley, so it seems unlikely that we'll find any more.

Takahiro: [Shit, even after we came all this way...]

Danchou: It's still too soon to quit.

Scoop-chan: Just as he says! Everyone, are you in a bind?

Nazuna: Scoop-chan! Your timing is like you've planned it!

Scoop-chan: Fufufu... I've gathered some information♪ Although the reason is still unknown, it seems that Carrot Lances have been popping up in various places all over Spring Garden!

Celia: Various places? That means...

Scoop-chan: Yes. I'm sure there's one somewhere that can return you to your own world, there has to be a “giant Carrot Lance.”


--Some days later, the World Flower of the Snow Plains, Winter Rose--

Nazuna: Everyone, good work! We've now arrived at Winter Rose's central city!

Takahiro: [Fuu... After crossing the border, I was a little worried by the blizzards and snowscape, but we've somehow managed to make it...]

Lisa: Yes, I'm surprised that we didn't have any issues. Danchou-san and the others are well used to travelling.

Nazuna: It's because we're always rushing around in all directions! Danchou-sama, the Flower Knights, and even myself are all used to long journeys and long distance expeditions!

Akane: No wonder you're so reliable. Although it seems the sightings of the Carrot Lances are widespread, Danchou and the others can reach them without problem.

Celia: Speaking of which, it would be great if we could find it quickly. It would be nice if there was a giant Carrot Lance in this country...

Mio: First of all, we should gather information. There's quite a lively atmosphere... Could it be a festival?

Dancing Lady Orchid: That's right! We're in the middle of the “Carrot Festival”!

Mio: Ca-carrot Festival?

Cymbidium: There were a lot of Carrot Lances that appeared in the outskirts, so it's only natural that everyone harvested them and cooked them, then this event suddenly started.

Akane: ...I never even had a thought to try and eat them. Can you eat them?

Cymbidium: Yes, there's no special problems. No matter which part of the carrots we looked at, there was only carrot, the taste and texture is normal. Rather, it has gotten a reputation for giving you energy if you eat them.

Dancing Lady Orchid: The lance parts can't be eaten, but it seems they can be recycled into weapons. So it's only natural that they're all going to be harvested.

Celia: Was there a huge one in the midst of all those Carrot Lances? One the size of a person, for example...

Dancing Lady Orchid: Hmm, I haven't heard of any, but one might be found later! I wonder if we should wait for information from the harvest team?

Celia: Fumu, I see... Understood, thank you.

Lisa: Well, if that's the case, it would be better to wait here for information than to head over to the site this time.

Celia: Yes. The festival goers are all bringing carrots in, so let's listen to what they have to say.

Nazuna: Well then, Danchou-sama, let's enjoy this festival with everyone until then! Let's eat some delicious food and regain our energy♪

Mio: A cooking festival, huh... Does that mean there's a way to enter as a cook?

Cymbidium: Yes, you're very welcome to. We have a huge amount of carrots, so I heard there is a huge recruitment for cooks.

Dancing Lady Orchid: Me and Cymbi-chan were on our way to join in the sweets making! Chocolate cakes, cookies, and...

Mio: How about tarts? I think they would be really tasty.

Dancing Lady Orchid: Ooh, how fancy! I want to try making that too♪

Cymbidium: Dancing Lady Orchid-chan, will you be OK? Think it's quite difficult to make tarts...

Mio: It'll be fine, you can make some with me♪ If you don't mind, I'd like to learn a lot of things from you two♪

...Ah, I've just decided things by myself! Danchou-san, everyone, is it OK if I go for a bit?

Celia: I have no problem. Actually, I'm looking forward to Kisaki's cooking.

Lisa: Me too. I'll be waiting for it.

Mio: Thanks! Well the, I'll be off♪

Takahiro: [Ah...No good, I didn't get here in time...]

Nazuna: Is there something the matter?

Takahiro: [No...Normally, Mio's cooking is very good, but sometimes she makes a hobby of creating new menus...]

Alstroemeria: La la la dee la♪ A special “ultimate curry” made from mysterious carrots! How about a bite?

Lisa: ...Ultimate curry?

Alstroemeria: Yes, ultimate curry! It's super tasty, try it, try it♪

Lisa: Another world's tasty ultimate curry... What a nice smell... Well, thanks for the food.

Nazuna: Ah! Please wait, Lisa-san, that curry is...!

Lisa: *Chew... Chew... *

…!! Delicious!!

Alstroemeria: Really!? I'm so glad that you like it♪

Nazuna: H-huh? This time's alright...?

Alstroemeria: Go on, go on, everyone eat up♪

Akane: Fumu... It's rare to see Lisa with such a happy expression. Ultimate curry, a dish that seems to befit it's name.

Well then, I'll also *Chew...chew, chew*! This is quite...

Hoooooo!!?

Nazuna: Ah, it's spicy, just as I thought...

Alstroemeria: You get the sweetness of the carrots as a stopper in the first stage, then the spiciness blows through in the mid stage. You can enjoy two flavours on one plate♪

Lisa: Personally, I'd like more spiciness from the beginning. That way, the spiciness will increase as you progress from the mid stage to the end...

Takahiro: [...Mio's special menus, normally referred to as “Mio specials” are like this. Lisa is fine when it comes to spice parties, so it causes her creativity and individuality to get out of control...]

Nazuna: W-well, it seems like this is going to get exciting in a different sense, right Danchou-sama...!

A Day Off at Nerhas Ranch

The investigation of Nerhas Ranch in the North of Lotus Lake was not going well, so they decided to cut their losses and rest their wings. Celia and Akane rent some ranch horses and organise a race, while Mio helps Usagigoke learn to ride a horse, so the party enjoy their horse riding experiences to their hearts' content.

A Day Off at Nerhas Ranch

--World Flower of the Lakeside, Lotus Lake, Nerhas Ranch--

Sparaxis: Now, we're here! Everyone who's in the know knows Lotus Lake's rest spot, welcome to the Relaxing Hill, Narhas Ranch♪

Nazuna: Thank you for showing us here, Sparaxis-san, Silk Tree-san. To come all the way out here from the central city was...

Silk Tree: We owed you a favour. Also, I also like coming to this place.

But for those who are new to Lotus Lake, the people of the floating and underwater cities might be more interesting...

Celia: No, I'm happy to be able to come here. This landscape... The ranches and wide grasslands remind us of the school which we attend.

Sightseeing in another world is fun, and educational, but I'm reminded our goal of returning to our original world. I think that if we can fulfil that properly, we can repay your kindness.

Silk Tree: Is that right, I see. Well, we will also do our best to support you.

Sparaxis: So, this is an example Carrot Lance, but I've found many bigger ones.

However, everyone isn't sure what they're looking for, so I'd like for you to take a look and confirm things. So, first, could you follow me?

Takahiro: [...Yes... So there really weren't any here...]

Sparaxis: Arara, I'm sorry. After coming out all this way...

Celia: Aah, well it can't be helped. Let's go gather our thoughts.

Nazuna: You're right. We've come all this way to a ranch, so why don't we rest our wings...

Usagigoke: To you...To you...

Oooh...

Nazuna: Hello, Usagigoke-san. What are you up to?

Usagigoke: Nazuna, Danchou, hello. I'm feeding the horses. Recently, there's been loads of carrots.

Does Danchou's horse also want some? Here you go.

Takahiro: [*...Crunch crunch...Chew chew...*]

Usagigoke: Oooh...

Lisa: There are also horses. Since we came to this world, we've used horse drawn carts, and travelled with merchants, but this is the first time I've seen a place like this...

Mio: This kind of thing is pretty normal in our world, so now I'm feeling nostalgic.

Silk Tree: Speaking of which, everyone is pretty experienced with horse riding, right? I also have a little horse riding experience, so if you don't mind, would you ride with me?

Celia: Horse riding...

Akane: Experience...

Celia: Fu, haa!!

Silk Tree: Waa...! Look at that Sparaxis-dono! Everyone is so skilled♪

Sparaxis: Yes, I'm honestly surprised... I'd heard the stories, but it's the first time I've seen a horse be ridden so well...

Mio: These horses have been cared for very well after all. You can feel that while riding them.

Lisa: Also, it's a horse that's used for horse riding experiences, so I think it's very familiar with people.

Sparaxis: I've already accounted for that. There are no people who can ride like this in Lotus Lake or even here.

Celia: How is it, Ryuuzouji? This is definitely a good opportunity to show off our good points. Why don't we have a little competition?

Akane: M-mmmm-myself and Celia-senpai!?

Celia: Yeah, what do you think? It's been a while, so I wouldn't say it's impossible.

Akane: Suu, haa... Fuuu...

...No, it's an honour. As long as you're fine with me, I'll be your opponent.

Celia: Fufu, so it has finally come. Needless to say, there's no issues.

Sparaxis: Ara, how interesting. If that's the case, I'll referee♪ I'll go and get confirmation from the ranch hands, just wait a moment.

Relaxing Customer A: What is it? What's about to start over there?

Relaxing Customer B: Some professional horse riders are having a competition! Should we go watch?

Usagigoke: Everyone's so cool! Able to ride so well, and run so far...!

...U-chan also wants to try horse riding. But...

Mio: Want to ride with me? I'll show you how, so sit in front.

Usagigoke: Really? It won't be too heavy for the horse?

Mio: If it's Usagigoke-chan, it should be completely fine♪ Here, get on.

Usagigoke: Oooh...

Mio: How is it? Not too scary?

Usagigoke: It's high up, so it's a little scary... But, it's impressive!

Mio: Yeah yeah, I know that feeling♪

So, will we start by walking slowly? Once you get used to that, we'll go a little faster.

Usagigoke: Giddy up, giddy up♪ The horse is clip-clopping♪

Wishing for Archaeological Murals

The party discovers a mural of Carrot Lances in a Banana Ocean ruin. With the cooperation of Burdock and the others, a translation can be expected, and the possibility of returning to their own world increases. However, as they're on the way to the city to decipher, they encounter pests.

Wishing for Archaeological Murals

--World Flower of the Everlasting Summer, Banana Ocean, A certain ruin--

Nazuna: Everyone, are we all here? It's quite complicated, so take care not to get lost.

Mio: Haa.... It's amazing, isn't it Takahiro-kun? It's a ruin, a ruin.

Takahiro: [It feels like another world in another world. Even if it's all different from our world, it isn't a tourist spot though.]

Mio: Yeah... It's so quiet and deserted... A mysterious, but lonely feeling...

Akane: It seems that the pests can appear anywhere in this world. These desolated ruins can now no longer be entered by people, and so maybe that's why they've been abandoned.

Lisa: But, the city was so lively, and everyone seemed so cheerful and full of energy. Even though they don't know when the city will be attacked, they're not afraid?

Celia: That's the way of this world, everyone trusts in the existence of the Flower Knights. The only reason we're allowed to enter into the places that are normally off limits is because of the trust placed in Danchou and the others.

Protect the people, so they can smile... It's easy to say, but to actually continue to make it a reality is difficult. I also want to be like that.

Nazuna: If it's Celia-san and the others, you can definitely do it! Whether in this world, or your own!

Celia: Fufu, thanks. It's inspiring to be encouraged by such a veteran assistant of a Knight Commander.

Carrot: Ah, welcome! How many customers?

Huh, re-ally, Danchou-san and co! I thought I heard your voice!

Mio: W-welcome?

Carrot: Aa, I'm sorry! My family home is a seaside shack, so it's a bit of a force of habit!

Nazuna: Hello, Carrot-san. Could you be in the middle of investigative activities with Burdock-san?

Carrot: Yes, that's right! I'm assisting professor Burdock♪

Mio: Assisting a professor! The Flower Knights really do have lots of different people.

Lisa: Yeah... But, umm. I'm interested in something other than that.

Carrot: Hmm? What is it?

Lisa: What you're holding, it's... A Carrot Lance, isn't it?

Mio: Ah, that's true!

Carrot: Aaah, that's wrong, you're wrong! Everyone says it, but my weapon has nothing to do with Carrot Lances!

Follow me to get to Doc! Hey, Doc, Doc! …..Doc?

Burdock: ….Eh, what?

Carrot: What? Isn't right! My weapon! It's not a Carrot Lance, but everyone says so!

Burdock: Aah, that again...

Umm, Carrot's used that weapon for a very long time. The topic of these current Carrot Lances are completely different.

Carrot: See♪

Lisa: It feels like I've been told off... But now I understand.

Burdock: I didn't mean it that way. I've just noticed that Danchou and the others are here. I was too absorbed in my note taking...

Akane: No, we should apologise for interrupting your investigation. We have come here in search of Carrot Lances.

Burdock: I see. You say that you have come from another world... If so, I think you'll be surprised if you look at this mural.

Akane: Mural? It's all over this wall... Huh, that's!?

Celia: ...Are they, Carrot Lances? There are so many small ones buried, that people are working together to pull them out, and it also looks like a big one is drawn that's...

Akane: Y-yes. It seems like it matches with our own situation. That one...

Burdock: From the state of it, it's probably a few centuries old, I would guess. The events are definitely the same as that time, and they made records.

Celia: There's a precedent from a similar time in the past...? I would love to know more about it, but this mural's expectedly...

Hm... In addition to the mural, there are also things that look like letters engraved, but is actually written?

Burdock: I can't read much of it right now. But if we get back to the city and I have the materials, it's possible to decipher it.

Akane: Really!? So that means...

Celia: We might be able to get hold of an important clue. Not only about the identity of the Carrot Lances, but also a way to get to our own world.

Mio: That's great, that would be pretty... Thank you, professor Burdock♪

Burdock: Pr-professor...? You mean... Me?

Mio: Yeah. That's what I heard, is it wrong?

Burdock: ...I hope to be called that someday, but I'm not worthy of it yet. The road to being a professor isn't that easy.

Mio: I-is that right? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...

Burdock: No, it's fine. I'm not mad, so don't mind it. But I'm definitely not yet a professor.

… Professor... Professor... Professor Burdock, huh...♪

Akane: ...It doesn't look like it's such a bad thing.

Mio: Fufu, she's really pleased, isn't she♪

Carrot: Hooray, Burdock! I've never heard of such a discovery, and I'm sure you'll get some kind of prize!

Burdock: Yeah, that would be nice...

Well then, Danchou, everyone. Once I manage to decipher it, I'll let you know, so until then please take a rest in the city...

Pest: KishiIIIIIIIIiiiii!!!!

Burdock: Eh, pests!?

Lisa: Yaa!!

Pest: Ki, KishiIIIiiii!!!!

Lisa: ...No matter how you look at it, it's cowardly to attack unexpectedly. I'll defeat you from the front in an honourable manner.

Carrot: Burdock, are you OK!?

Burdock: Y-yeah... The reaction was delayed, but Lisa came to help me...

Huh, what? My notebook's...?

Celia: I'm sorry. I saw it jump out, but I couldn't make it in time. Right now from over there, pest footsteps are approaching.

Akane: Just when we found a clue. No matter how, we need to get it back.

Mio: Yeah! For the sake of Professor Burdock!

Walkure Blume

The “Giant Carrot Lance” that can return them to their own world has been confirmed to be in the Western wastelands of Kodaibana. Lisa, Akane, Celia, and Mio respond to Chocolate Lily with strong wills when she tells them they can't pass if they're not sufficiently prepared, and the group heads into their final battle in the pests' mountain headquarters.

Walkure Blume

--The Western Wasteland, Kodaibana, Bremen's Ruined Defence Base--

Takahiro: [...That's Kodaibana... This world's most dangerous place, the home base of the pests...]

Nazuna: Yes... One thousand years ago, the pests appeared from here. Now that the blessing of the World Flowers can't reach this far away, even Flower Knights find it difficult to enter...

Therefore, all the pests coming from Kodaibana are repelled by ruined defence base at Bremen. It's a harsh place, but because of that, it's packed with some of the best Flower Knights.

Chocolate Lily: You've brought along more strangers here, Danchou. If you're in the mood for sightseeing, I'd prefer you go home.

Nazuna: W-we're not sightseeing, Chocolate Lily-san. They might still be fresh, but everyone here is...

Chocolate Lily: I've heard about those people. The ones that have come from another world. One of them has even become a talking horse. They've received the World Flower's blessing and have begun to fight against the pests.

But here is different from any other place. You'll be in trouble if you come here with average abilities and preparedness.

Lisa: Muu... There's no problem with our abilities. In the time since we've come here, we've defeated every pest we've met.

Akane: We've been explained the dangers of this place many times over by Danchou and the others. With that in mind, we've decided to come here.

Celia: As knights, and as Flower Knights. We aren't afraid, and have the courage to challenge the pests. For the sake of fulfilling our mission.

Mio: Besides, if we back down here, we'll have let down everyone who has helped us so far. So... Until the very end, we'll see it through properly.

Geranium: That's how it is, Chocolate Lily. Everyone's hardened their resolve, right?

Chocolate Lily: Haa... well, that's what I expected. After all, Danchou is involved.

I understand all of your resolve. But unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can't help you right now.

Akane: Right now? What kind of trouble has occurred?

Geranium: Yeah, an annoying pest has sprung up... It's hard to get extra people to help out, and I don't want everyone to be in a situation where they aren't acting of their own free will.

Mio: Annoying pest... Is that like a pest that looks armed spears and guns?

Geranium: Yeah, yeah, that! Its just ambushes and retreats over and over, so it's hard to pin down.

Chocolate Lily: On top of that, everytime it reappears, the wounds we had inflicted on it have healed. There must be a source of power somewhere, but that location hasn't been determined yet.

Celia: A source of power. If that's the case, or rather, I think we can help.

Chocolate Lily: ...What? What do you mean?


--The calamity that has pierced space and time, the Carrot Lance...

From that hole, people from a different world, lost in time, a disordered world born of the great chaos, countless small things that will appear everywhere and give power without regard to people or insects and cause further chaos.

Only the fat one will bring an end to the chaos. From that hole, people from different a world will return, and restore the order to both worlds. By doing so, those countless small things shall disappear...

Burdock: – That's what it says, the contents of the mural.

Takahiro: [...It's somewhat ridiculous, to the point of sounding crazy, and it's so sudden that the contents sound unrealistic...]

Burdock: Uu...I-I'm sorry...

Akane: Anyway, if it's like how we came to this world in the beginning, if we get sucked into the hole made by the Carrot Lance again...

Mio: We can return to our own world, and the Carrot Lances in Spring Garden will disappear... or something like that?

Celia: Yes. I'm grateful that the story that we've been following so far has changed to be almost certain. Thank you, Burdock.

Lisa: But, we still don't know the location of that “fat one”...

Burdock: That was also written. It looks like it's in a hidden place, and the way to get there is a little special. I don't think you'll be able to find it normally, so please take these notes.

...I really wanted to go. So absolutely tell me what happens.

Geranium: Huuuh, there's such a cave... Did you know Chocolate Lily?

Chocolate Lily: No, this is the first I've known of it. The entrance has been well hidden, and nobody would have ever found it without the information from the mural.

...It doesn't seem like the pests travel through here neither. I don't know if they just haven't noticed it, or if it's too narrow for them to pass through.

Celia: Even if we run into them, this isn't the place for a battlefield. I can't move, and if it collapses, we'll be buried alive.

Mio: But, I'm actually relieved. Takahiro-kun could come along.

Takahiro: [Yeah... It's good that it's just about horse sized.]

Chocolate Lily: ...I don't think it was necessary for you to come this far.

Takahiro: [No, I'm also a main party. I'm not of much help, but I'm just my resolve lies with everyone. No matter where they go, I'll follow.]

Chocolate Lily: ...Hm. It's the first time to see a horse that longs for death.

Takahiro: [L-longs for death. I don't have that pl...]

Geranium: Fufu, sorry. Her way of speaking is harsh, but Chocolate Lily really doesn't want anyone to die.

Chocolate Lily: Don't say unneeded things, Geranium. I'm worried about these...

Akane: Mu... It's outdoor light. Everyone, the exit is in sight.

Lisa: It took longer as I thought. The problem is, will the giant Carrot Lance from the same time time as the mural still be here or not.

Akane: ...That much isn't a problem, Lisa. Look at that.

Geranium: Uwaa... Huge...

Chocolate Lily: What is that ridiculous object...? How haven't we found it until now...?

Geranium: Who knows... How is it everyone? Is it the giant Carrot Lance that you've been looking for?

Takahiro: [Yes, I feel like this is it... Although, I feel it is a lot bigger than the one that brought us here...]

Celia: It looks like it's worth a try. But before that...

Pest: KishiIIIIIIIIIIiiiii!!!!

Flock of Pests: Doou, Doou, HaidoOOOoooOOOOOO!!!!

Mio: What a huge number of pests...! This situation is...

Celia: It's fine, Kisaki. Myself, and everyone is here.

Lisa: That's right, Mio-senpai. This amount of pests is nothing.

Mio: Y-yeah...!

Akane: The tremors have stopped... Well, shall we go? This will be our final battle in this world.

End

The party won the fierce battle at Kodaibana. However, it took a lot of time and preparation to pull out the giant Carrot Lance. So until that time comes, Mio and the others spend time relaxing in Spring Garden.

End

Pest: Dooo...Hai, Do, ooo...

Akane: Haa, ha... Did we beat it...?

Lisa: Yes, it seems that way. Judging by it's strength, I think that was the enemy general just now.

Geranium: Everyone, great work! We managed to defeat the other pests, so now we can relax for the time being♪

Chocolate Lily: Hmm... That was more fighting than I expected. There were some dangerous moments.

Celia: But, we managed to fight as a unit. I'm proud to have been able to fight alongside all of you.

Takahiro: [Danchou-san, after of this...]

Danchou: After this, we just pull out the giant Carrot Lance.

Mio: That's right... With that, we'll return to our own world...

Aooh, everyone! Until now... Thank you very much up until now!

Takahiro: [Also, thank you from me. To Danchou-san, to all the Flower Knights... Also, to all the people of the world that have helped us.]

Akane: ...You're right. Once we return to our own world, we'll have to say goodbye to this world...

It seemed an age, but it passed so quick. It would be a shame to go with things as they are, I'm a little ambivalent.

Mio: Yeah... I wish I had more time to properly say goodbye and thank everyone who got involved...

Geranium: What should we do, Chocolate Lily? We now know the locations, and if we pull out all the small Carrot Lances, the pests won't be able to recover...

Chocolate Lily: ...There's nothing that can't wait. If you have any unfinished business, you should do it. Don't worry about this.

Celia: ...No, let's just go as things are. That's why we came here after all. We can leave a message of thanks for Burdock and the others with Danchou.

Lisa: Yes, that way would be better I think. I'm also getting a little lonely...

Takahiro: [...Mio, Akane, is that alright with you?]

Mio: ...Yeah, I understand.

Akane: You're right... We shouldn't leave any stone unturned. Actually, just forget about it.

Chocolate Lily: ...Understood. If you guys are fine with it, let's get it over with.

Geranium: Well then everyone, get in position! We'll combine our strengths and pull out this giant Carrot Lance!!

-A few days later

Nazuna: ...So, they say thank you!

Japanese Apricot: Fumu... It was a much longer trip than we expected. Thanks for telling us.

Sakura: Sorry. I told them that Tampala-chan might have known something.

Nazuna: No no, don't worry about it. As a result, they were able to go to various countries and really enjoyed themselves.

Sakura: Fufu, it really helps to hear that. Myself, and Japanese Apricot-chan also, were su-per worried how they were getting along...

...Ara, this tea is delicious. Where did you by it?

Lisa: A cafe in Winter Rose. Alstroemeria-san told me it's perfect for after a meal or tea-times.

Sakura: Ara ara, is that right. Next time, I'll go and take a look.

Japanese Apricot: These Japanese sweets are also delicious. It's not too sweet, just like a salted plum. Is it from Bergamot Valley?

Akane: Yes, it's from a Flower Knight called Azuki Bean. I was thinking of bringing it home to our own world, but I bought a little too much.

Japanese Apricot: Fufu, is that so. You've taken an interest in things from this world, that's pleasing.

...No, I apologise. This current state is a huge emergency for you...

Sakura: That's right... After finally finding the big Carrot Lance, everyone's combined power couldn't “pull it out”.

Celia: It can't be helped. That is a pretty giant one, and it's buried very deeply. No matter how many Flower Knights joined in, we couldn't manage to get it pulled out.

But, we're not going to give up, and we now have a clear solution. I'm sure it's called... a Whale Ship?

Nazuna: Yes! With the Whale Ship's power, we can pull it out, and once it's out, a strong suction will come from the hole, so everyone who isn't involved can evacuate safely, so don't worry!

Takahiro: [Is that how it is... I had forgotten about that point, so it's actually a good thing that we couldn't pull it out before.]

Nazuna: ...But, the Whale Ship's service and maintenance schedule is complicated in so many different ways... It seems like we won't get permission for this for the time being.

Mio: And so, for the time being, we're in this world. So we have time available to go and meet all the people that have taken care of us, so please don't worry Sakura-san and Japanese Apricot-san.

Sakura: Fufu, understood. Everyone's become very reliable, haven't they? It's like talking to fully fledged Flower Knights.

Japanese Apricot: Yes. I think you've improved greatly since we first met, you even have experience of battle in Kodaibana, it seems.

How about it? After our tea, shell we do some sparring? I wonder how strong you have become, I'm interested in it as a Flower Knight.

Celia: I'm honoured by your invitation. As a knight, I'd also like to ask it of you.

Nazuna: ...Everyone, do your best. Currently, Japanese Apricot-san and Sakura-san are the strongest Flower Knights in all of Blossom Hill so...

Mio: Eh, eeeh? They're such amazing people?

Akane: Of course, they're people of such calibre... Since I saw them in that first battle, I've had a feeling they're outstanding within the Flower Knights.

Lisa: Then, there's even less reason to turn them down. I wish to challenge my superiors.

Sakura: Ara ara, ufufu. Please be gentle with me♪

-A mysterious disaster. The Carrot Lance guides the knights and Flower Knights towards their return. It's a dreamy, illusory, mysterious time that definitely happened.

Takahiro: [...Danchou-san. Do you remember that conversation we had? When I said about how I want to be able to support everyone on the battlefield just like you, Danchou.]

[I have one more favour. Can you tell me all about how you battle in this world in the time before we return to our own?]

[...Eh? That's completely fine, but in return you want me to teach you how to ride a horse? Because you want to be able to ride in a cool way?]

[Understood, leave it to me. Seeing as it's you Danchou, you'll be a first class rider...No, you'll be a jousting knight.]
