Tokyo, City of Flowers. So many cultures, so many flowers! And so many people from different worlds bringing different things. Like perspectives on love and romance. Also isn't it funny how a seed can grow into a totally different colored flower depending on where you plant it? And how planting it elsewhere can change its meaning?
Setagaya Agricultural School
Hippolytus: Pretty blooms!
Wolf A: Great work, Gardening Prez! Is it hard work doing it every day?
Hippolytus: Not for me!
Fixing things up around the school fountain! Hippolytus seems happy.
Wolf A: (We're alone! Maybe I can ask him out since I never heard of him dating anyone!) Nice! I heard you were assigned something for Valentine's.
Hippolytus: Yeah, the school owner asked me so I had to. I'm gonna run a workshop about making flower gifts. But can I really handle it...?
Wolf A: Y-yeah you're super nice, senpai!
Quick, time to make an impression!
Wolf A: You're super popular among us younger students! Anyone meeting you would think you're great!
Hippolytus: O-oh, thanks. I feel a little better now.
Wolf A: (DOKI DOKI!) S-so, will you have time after the workshop?
Hippolytus: Uh...?
Wolf A: Well I was just wondering. Maybe we could get to know each other better if you do...?
Hippolytus: (blushes)
Wolf A: (Huh. Did I fumble or is Senpai shy and I should try harder to--)
Hippolytus: :|
Wolf A: WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN
Summoners Safehouse
Kengo: Battle...withdrawals...hitting...hard... (sighs)
Shirou: What's so great about violence? Now finish your work before I let you leave.
Ryouta: Look, Kengo! Seasonal chocolates from Chouji's bakery! You get one for every problem you solve!
MC: Test time soon / Gimme! / (Mmm, tired Kengo...)
(A) Kengo: Don't you just ditch me while you study like a good boy!
Moritaka: Kengo, shouldn't you be more like MC that way?
(B) Ryouta: You finished one? Hmm... oh you got it right, here you go! Open up~!
Kengo: But I wanted that one!
Touji: There's still more like it... also I'm surprised we're trying to motivate you with food instead of Ryouta.
(C) Kengo: WTH are you smiling at me for? ...did you already finish!?
Shirou: MC, the answers aren't on Kengo's face. If you want to give a hint, that's fine.
Study group! There's a box of chocolate in the middle that Chouji said are this year's test products.
Moritaka: Food as reward makes sense, but I can't handle chocolate...
Agyou: High school sounds like it sucks, but I still wanna go there since you guys seem to have lots of fun...
MC: It'll be okay if you study / I think you'd be okay there / tests nooooo
10 chocolate pieces left. Someone knocks on the door but nobody was expecting anyone.
MC: Hello? / (A chance to get away!) / Is that Gullinbursti?
(AB) Agyou: I'll get it. Hello, who is it?
(C) Agyou: Wouldn't he just come in then? I'll go check.
Guild alliances are up so sometimes people come by so maybe it's someone like that.
Volkh: EXCUSE THE SUDDEN INVASION
Agyou: HELP
MC: WHAT / stop scaring the kid / ooh, hi Volkh~
(A) Volkh: I can find things even if the app doesn't say where they are! ...but you have a small child for a door guard? Tokyo is just as hellish as home.
(B) Volkh: Oh. My apologies... but having a small child for a door guard? Tokyo is just as much a hellhole as Kitezh!
(C) Touji: ...MC why are you acting like Ziz to an outsider?
Volkh: Oof, you heard how that woman greeted me at the beach? She complimented me? That was nothing special! Anyways, having a small child for a door guard? Tokyo is as hellish as Kitezh!
Agyou: RUDE! My name is Agyou!
Volkh: Oh I see, my apologies. Some candy for your bravery, little boy.
Agyou: YOU CAN'T WIN M--ooh it has a flower inside
MC: welp / you know how to handle kids!? / wow you carry candy around?
Ryouta: Wow! Volkh, is that flower edible?
Volkh: Of course! This is also an invasion plan! Fruit and vergetables aren't the only points of pride for Setaga--oh
Volkh remembers why he's here.
Volkh: Summoners, I will take your guildmaster with me to Setagaya! Resist and I shall slaughter you all!
Kengo: I've been wanting to fight but what the hell is even happening!?
Shirou: He's right! I assume you're here on Setagaya school business but...well even if it is, you can't just take MC without explanation.
Ryouta: Yeah, maybe we can work something out if you tell us.
MC: Yeah / well if there's a reason... / carry me off pls
(C) Volkh: Do you even value your life, Heritor of Veles? You should be more vigilant even if you don't fear losing your existence. Yes I know it's strange to say while trying to take you away.
Volkh: Hmm... I cannot disgrace my school, but to show my mistakes...?
He seems conflicted.
Volkh: I must cast off my shame for my lord's sake! MC, behold!
Volkh waves a poster for some activity that happened in Setagaya a few days ago.
MC: A flower gift workshop using flowers from an Overworld Shift?
Volkh: (nods) Last week, Lord Perun was being unreasonable telling me about a great plan he had.
Flashback!
Volkh: A workshop event? Sounds like a brilliant splash of color this time of year.
Perun: Yes! Our school has no need for weathering bad weather with preserved foods since Tokyo is much warmer than Kitezh! I don't know why I brought that up! But anyways, wouldn't this be a perfect chance to show how green and lush our grounds are even in winter?
Volkh: Yes, it will surely bring in attention for our school!
Perun: Good! You are in charge of running everything for this event!
Volkh: Thank you, milord! I shall--excuse me?
Perun: You will manage everything. Are you displeased?
Volkh: N-no, my liege! It is an honor to receive such an absurd extravagant role! But why like this when you usually take command yourself...?
Perun: I just heard of a mountain range Overworld Shift, so I will investigate! For Science™! I expect great success from you, Volkh! I take my leave!
Volkh: Wait come b--
Present
MC: oof
Volkh: I suppose that is his initiative and foresight driving him to keep the school superior. I just can't keep up.
MC: so loyal / you can complain, it's okay / wanna take a break here?
Volkh: Do not mock me! I know how to work in a group, unlike Horokeu Kamui! Anyways, I am taking command of this operation. Also I have others I will be recruiting.
Meanwhile, in Roppongi
Takeminakata: NOBODY'S JOINING THE SUMO TEAM! And we just got more sponsors...! We can't have a real match with other schools if this keeps up...
Takeminakata is cleaning up after practice. And talking to himself.
Takeminakata: At least Yoyogi will compete with me, but they probably want team matches. Hey, wasn't Ashigara also worried about recruiting the other day...?
Flashback!
Ashigara: We have no manager, waaah! We have plenty of members, sure, but NO MANAGER! Dammit, we gotta steal someone from the football team Yasuyori!
Yasuyori: I'm worried too but I don't think that will work.
Ashigara: UGH I wish I was popular like Wakan!
Yasuyori: ...you just can't help but let these things slip out quick, huh?
Present
Takeminakata: Hmm... I should get popular then! That'll solve my sumo club problems!
Takeminakata starts running out! And then he stops.
Takeminakata: ...how do I even do that?
Takeminakata has always been a head empty sort of person.
Takeminakata: I should ask the other Tycoons for ideas!
Ophion's office
Ophion: I'm glad I sent Aizen out on errand work. Anyways I can't help you because I am just naturally awesome and my charms are only for my wife.
Gyumao's office
Gyumao: Popularity is personal charm, which you already have! Maybe you just need to make some wild changes. Maybe try starting a new business? I can advise you!
Tokyo Casino
Hakumen: Now you're thinking like a REAL Tycoon! Popularity is important, especially here where fate and bonds have power! Why don't you get a makeover and dress more like a Westerner?
Lucifuge's office
Lucifuge: What? Hakumen already told you to get a makeover? Then accessorize!
Tsathoggua's room
Tsathoggua: Why ask me? And everyone said anything I could say. Oh well, take this event poster.
Licht's office
Licht: An event at Setagaya? I was wondering about that school.
Melusine: The maid network says Perun is off on a trip. The workshop is headed by the gardener club president.
Licht: Oh okay. Go attend if you want to, spy for me if you do go. You'll be fine! I can go talk with Roppongi Academy so you owe m--I mean, nothing!
Makeover it is!
Roppongi Station
Takeminakata: So I am somehow attending school off campus now??? Whatever, makeover done! Here I goooo!
