Title: Hot blooded! Easter Cactus

Easter Cactus: I'm bad with cold or chilly things, but
<flames roaring>
Easter Cactus: I love things that get hot!!
Easter Cactus: Like sport competitions!!
<Pasukoa presenting>
Easter Cactus: Or like the excitement when listening to extremely lively music!!
Easter Cactus: Of course, my work as a flower knight that allows me to protect this beloved world can get me pretty heated up too!! <Whe-w!>
Purslane: A hot [attakai] hearted person was here [attanokai], all along!¹
Easter Cactus: Oh... Purslane...
Easter Cactus: That was ho-... ho-... interesting... <shivering>
<Pasukoa frozen>
Purslane: Eeeh [hie]!? Why did the tension suddenly get all chilly [hiehie]!?¹
Easter Cactus: A... Ahaha...

Title: Trace of a conspiracy?

Nymphaea: This is someone's conspiracy for sure! <uuu>
Di Yu: Nymphaea... What's wrong?
Nymphaea: Di Yu, please look at this! These weird tracks left on the ground... It is because I decided to take a walk after the rain stopped, isn't it...
<staring at the ground>
Di Yu: Round tracks on the muddy part of the ground... Surely, something spherical was placed here?
Nymphaea: These are the tracks of a mysterious creature that came to assault me for sure! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorryyyyyy!! <Waaah!>
<Imagined creature: Kshaaaaa>
Di Yu: Such a creature, surely does not exist.
<Nymphaea: That's absolutely, absolutely the case! I have nothing left but to die right nooooow!>
<Di Yu: Calculating from these dents in the ground and the large amount of earth...>
Pasukoa: <Zzzzzzzz>

Title: Autumn of reading

Di Yu: Autumn of reading...
Di Yu: Reading the types of books you don't usualy read... Surely, this will breathe some life into my tactics?
<commenting>
Di Yu: I see... That's how you can make candy...
Di Yu: The way to cook... Replacing tactics on the battlefield with it, possible?
<silence>
<commenting again>
Di Yu: These are... species of animals...
Di Yu: The architecture of Bergamot Valley...
Mint: <Di Yu... She's learning with quite the zeal right now, isn't she...>
Di Yu: This, later to Mint...
Mint: <!!>
Mint: <To me...? I wonder what it could be?>
Di Yu: Let's try this out on Mint!
<self-explanatory book>
Mint: <What could it be... I'm having an extremely bad premonition right now!!>

Title: A single goal?

Mint: EI!
Mint: YA!
<training>
Spring Starflower: Mint, you've been training by yourself non-stop for a while now, haven't you?
Mint: Yes, Spring Starflower! ...Of course!
<panting>
Mint: That's because I need to become strong enough to exterminate pests!
Spring Starflower: I also want to become strong and exterminate...
Spring Starflower: <...the Commander>
Mint: In that case, let's train together!
<training resumes>
Mint: To become strong!!...
Mint: <...and exterminate pests!!>
Spring Starflower: To become strong!!...
Spring Starflower: <...and strike down the Commander!!>
Easter Cactus: <Somehow, I get the feeling I'm hearing different inner thoughts...>

Title: What kind of taste?

Echinacea: Wine is a pretty tasty thing, isnt' it?
Pinkladies: Yes.
Pinkladies: Wine is a circle. Tasty wine is a pointless thing but it has a "rolled around after picking up" taste to it.¹
Echinacea: ...I see.
Echinacea: <I don't get it though...>
Pinkladies: Echinacea, you liked the black tea, right?
Pinkladies: What kind of taste did the black tea have?
Echinacea: Black tea...?
Echinacea: ...Right, let's see...
Echinacea: The moment a mouthful enters your mouth, the intensity that spreads through it... it's just like the Flasberg Canyon...
<commenting away>
Echinacea: Then again it is the country exceeding it, visible further away. The flavor is like the Mafur Plateau's soft fluttering breeze... Ahh, that really is the legendary "Hot Spring of Life", is it not?
Pinkladies: ...I see.
Pinkladies: <I don't get it though...>

Title: Pleasant hot spring

Hop: It's the hot spring!!
<Yaay!>
Hop: The sake you drink while warming up is the best~!!
<exhales after a sip>
Pinkladies: You're really enjoying yourself, aren't you Hop?
Hop: I'm only getting started!
Hop: That's because I had the idea we could make a hot spring egg¹ and I brought an egg with me!
Pinkladies: An egg...?
Pinkladies: Hop, you're not inferior to Pinkladies in being a free spirit are you?
Hop: Ta-dah! Radish's partner! It's Muurii!
Muurii: ?
Pinkladies: Isn't that a turnip?
<It's a daikon²>

¹ Eggs cooked in hot springs, sometimes even black in color
² Oriental radish

Title: Radish's admiration

<Radish & Muurii staring>
Nazuna: Radish... If you keep staring at me like that it'll make me feel awkward.
Radish: I'm sorry...! Since I admire Nazuna it just turned out like that...!
Radish: Honestly speaking, I've been observing and imitating Nazuna...
<getting embarassed>
Radish: Like in eating porridge...
Radish: or in trying to hum melodies.
<Nazuna: It's kind of embarassing, isn't it?>
Radish: Additionally...
Radish: I think it's about time I split this part in half!!
<Radish: If we're talking about Nazuna, it's this, right!!>
Nazuna: <I wonder if I should stop her here...>

Title: Anemone's outfit

Anemone: There was a moment at the previous festival where I wore a mascot character costume for a while, wasn't there...¹
Anemone: It was really heavy and embarassing, but
Anemone: now that I think about it, it became a good memory.
Coleus: Lady Anemone, here is your outfit.
Coleus: It was created in the image of the salmon from the memorable Salmon Curry~! <boom>
Coleus: Just kidding~! <Fufu> It's just a Coleus jok...
Anemone: It's a salmon this time, huh... <equipped>
Coleus: <Wha!!?> You already adapted to mascot character costumes!?
Coleus: <Why!?>

¹ See chapter 23.

Title: Dry throat

Marigold: It's from my special stash, so I'm giving you only a little. <pouring>
Oregano: Thanks, as always...
Marigold: Previously, it was sweet-and-sour pork... It is sushi this time around, isn't it?
Oregano: Yes! <I'll do my best!>
Sasanqua: Uohii! That was a nice bath! <toasty> ...Ah!
Sasanqua: Sorry!! I'll be taking this glass of water!! <going in>
Oregano: Wait...! That's...!
Sasanqua: Vinegar!! <going out>

Title: Undelivered feelings

Mirabilis: Ga, Gaoh-! I'm a lion-!
Mirabilis: Uuu... As I thought, it's just too embarassing...
Nymphaea: <It's the beautiful flower knight I come across a lot.> <sneaking around>
Nymphaea: <Her appearance looks really cute today...>
<Mirabilis: Ga... Gaoh~ ...hmmm...>
Nymphaea: <I want to tell her she looks cute.>
Nymphaea: <Aah... Though if someone like me starts a conversation with her, she'll be troubled, right?...> <eyeing her target>
Mirabilis: <For some time someone has been continously looking at me...! They are probably thinking that someone like me shouldn't be getting carried away wearing a lion suit...> <spooked>
