**Silver Orchid:** My, Danchou-san! What a wonderful outfit♪
**Great Burnet:** It decidedly suits you, Master? ... It matches Burnet's outfit?
**Silver Orchid:** Everyone is dressed up to come to this ceremony, but your outfit especially stands out, Danchou-san.
It's just as Great Burnet-san says. I think if we stand beside you as escorts, then it will bring out the best in you.
**Great Burnet:** I will decidedly be the perfect escort? Additionally, have you thoroughly previewed the venue? Is the security so tight that not even an ant can get through, and there are no traps?
**Danchou:** ... Talking about that, have you already previewed the venue?
**Silver Orchid:** The venue has been set up by the Flower Knights, so I doubt there will be any traps or attacks... But we can never be too careful.
Great Burnet-san and myself did a quick preview before you arrived, Danchou-san.
**Great Burnet:** The cooking, decorations, and arrangements have already been completed? Also, only Flower Knights and Master can enter?
**Silver Orchid:** Well, let us go. This year's Knight Company General Meeting is a little different... Or that's what the Flower Knights involved in the preparations said.
**Receptionist Flower Knight:** Ummm... Please write your name here...
... OK, thank you... Well, please enter through this door...
... This means that all attendees on the list have arrived...
Fuu... But this writing is...
Haaa... What dazzling, unique handwriting...!
Haa, not good... The meeting's going to start any minute now...
I'll take a closer look at it later♪
**Great Burnet:** Your speech and report were well done, Master? You're even more used to this than last year?
**Silver Orchid:** Yes. It looked like you were a little nervous last year, but it feels like you're a lot more comfortable this year.
**Great Burnet:** It would be impossible for Burnet to stand at the podium and address the audience while facing them? I respect you, Master?
**Silver Orchid:** Speaking of... Are you not very good at being surrounded by people, Great Burnet? Are you feeling unwell?
**Great Burnet:** There's absolutely no need to worry? I've been preparing for this day?
I'm Master's escort, so I can't be saying selfish things? Burnet will protect Master in her own way?
**Silver Orchid:** What a wonderful way of thinking. I need to take care too.
**Chairman:** – Well, please enjoy some food and take some time to chat.
**Great Burnet:** So it's now the scheduled free time? Burnet will stay with Master?
**Danchou:** Seeing as we're here, shall we take a look around the venue?
**Silver Orchid:** Yes, of course. It might be nice to say hello to the attending Flower Knights while enjoying some food.
I'm sure that there are many Flower Knights who want to say hello to you, Danchou-san♪
This banner is amazing. It's not only in black, but a variety of inks have been used, making it look like a flower garden...♪
Even still, it's quite well written. What do these words mean though?
**Great Burnet:** “Overwhelming talent” – Does it mean to overwhelm the whole world with superior wisdom and talent?
If you're not used to reading this kind of literature, then it will decidedly be difficult to read?
**Silver Orchid:** It's more like a painting than simple calligraphy. There are many banners like this around the General Meeting.
**Great Burnet:** They're all wonderful? Burnet was very moved during the preview?
Actually, the one in charge of these banners is Burnet's friend? It's a splendid job?
**Silver Orchid:** My, is that so...!? I'm even more impressed now that I've heard that.
Even though we're all Flower Knights, everyone has a wide range of talents.
It's truly wonderful to see all of their talents and experience put to use in a place like this.
**Great Burnet:** Burnet feels the same way?
But my friend doesn't want to reveal her face or name? Burnet thinks she could use a little more exposure?
**Silver Orchid:** A calligrapher and Flower Knight who doesn't want to reveal her face or name...? I've heard some rumours.
Billboard lettering, calligraphy banners commissioned by aristocrats, ghostwriting... Although all of it has excellent results, she doesn't want her identity to be known.
**Great Burnet:** That's exactly right? It's said she is even worse with people than Burnet?
**Silver Orchid:** Ufufu. You could say that even that is part of her personality.
But if that's the case, then she won't be here today, right? I really wanted to meet her too...
**Great Burnet:** I heard that she was coming here? But, interacting with the other Flower Knights will be...
... Hm?
... There? That cloth hiding her face... There's definitely no doubt?
**Silver Orchid:** Eh? Where?
**Great Burnet:** Over there... Near the venue doors?
Please wait, Kurin Yukifude...!
**Kurin Yukifude:** Ah... It's you, Great Burnet? What a relief...
**Great Burnet:** Who did you mistake me for...?
**Kurin Yukifude:** Excuse me, ummm... These people caught my attention first, so I never noticed...
**Silver Orchid:** I'm very sorry for surprising you. My name is Silver Orchid, from Lilywood.
**Danchou:** Excuse us. We didn't think we would surprise you this much...
**Kurin Yukifude:** No, it was me who got surprised for no reason...! I'm covering my face with this cloth, so I thought you might have mistaken me for a suspicious person...
Please forgive my rudeness... Ummm... I-I'm Kurin Yukifude, from Bergamot Valley.
**Great Burnet:** It's been a long time since I've been able to meet you, Kurin Yukifude, I'm so happy? I never thought I'd be able to meet you at today's meeting?
**Kurin Yukifude:** Me too, Great Burnet. I always thought that you didn't like being where many people are...
But, it's a different story when you're Danchou-san's escort.
**Great Burnet:** Exactly right? Burnet's fully prepared? ... Also...
**Kurin Yukifude:** Also...?
**Great Burnet:** When Burnet's with Silver Orchid and Master, then crowds aren't an issue? This General Meeting doesn't have a bad atmosphere?
**Kurin Yukifude:** Fufu, if you say it like that, Great Burnet...
**Silver Orchid:** We're standing here and talking, so if you don't mind, then why don't we talk while taking a stroll around the venue?
I would like to take a closer look at the banners that you have written, Kurin Yukifude-san.
**Great Burnet:** I fully agree? We'd be happy if you could explain them to us, Kurin Yukifude?
**Kurin Yukifude:** Eeeh...! Th-that's... Me, explain...? M... My own writings...? That's...
**Danchou:** As long as you're alright with this, Kurin Yukifude, then please.
**Silver Orchid:** Yes. What is the meaning of this beautiful calligraphy, and what were your thoughts when writing it...? I really would love to know.
**Kurin Yukifude:** .........
... Understood! Th... This Kurin Yukifude, w-will do my very best to serve you.
**Great Burnet:** You don't have to use that much force? Leisurely, slowly, easily?
**Silver Orchid:** Ufufu, exactly as Great Burnet-san says. Release those tense shoulders, and let's take it easy♪

 *\*Excitement\* \*Chatter\**
**Great Burnet:** Is this banner also written by Kurin Yukifude?
**Kurin Yukifude:** Yes. That one says “The bonds of friendship” It means unchanging friendship. I wrote this while considering the friendships of all the Flower Knights who have gathered here.
**Silver Orchid:** How wonderful. After hearing that, now that I look at it, the free flowing brush strokes and use of colour seem to express the fraternity of Flower Knights.
**Kurin Yukifude:** I'm happy I got that across...!
But, having to explain it myself is... As I thought, it's a little embarrassing...
**Silver Orchid:** By the way, would all of you like to have something to drink?
They seem to have a variety of drinks other than the basic alcohols and soft drinks.
**Great Burnet:** Burnet would like something sweet? I'm not good with alcohol?
**Kurin Yukifude:** Then, I'll have some warm tea...
**???:** There's plenty of sweet drinks and tea♪ Would you like to make your order in more detail?
**Kurin Yukifude:** Wawaa...!?
**Great Burnet:** Calm down, Kurin Yukifude? She's the Flower Knight in charge of drinks?
**Tea Tree:** Ara, excuse me. I didn't mean to surprise you.
**Manuka:** Suddenly talking to someone from behind will do that. You should match their sight lines before speaking.
**Tea Tree:** Sight line... Where...?
**Manuka:** Ara, what a wonderful outfit. Can you properly see out of that?
**Kurin Yukifude:** Eh? Ah, y-yes... I-I can see... Excuse me...
**Manuka:** Don't worry. Just as this girl said, we're in charge of drinks at this party♪
**Danchou:** Fumu... Promising...
**Silver Orchid:** What exactly is promising?
**Lemon Grass:** Hey hey, what are you all doing crowding around this Flower Knight who wants to leave?
Here's our tea menu, and here's our sweet juice menu. Please choose the one you like.
**Great Burnet:** Well... Burnet will have this one?
**Kurin Yukifude:** Th-then... I'll have this one, please.
**Manuka:** O-K, understood! Tea Tree, please handle the juice.
**Silver Orchid:** Shall I have some white wine? Ummm, the wine is...
**???:** The wine area is over here♪
White wines, red wines, rosés... Please choose whichever you like.
**Silver Orchid:** I see... Then, this white one, please.
**Cabernet Sauvignon:** Yes, here you are...
My, could it be Silver Orchid-san?
**Silver Orchid:** Ara, Cabernet-san! Thank you for the other day.
**Great Burnet:** Do you know her, Silver Orchid?
**Silver Orchid:** Yes. These two run a winery called “La Verità è Nel Vino”, which makes very delicious wines.
The delivered some to my family the other day. It's very popular with my family too.
**Great Burnet:** Wine... I'm interested, but I get dizzy after just one mouthful? I like the smell though...
**Sauvignon Blanc:** You don't need to force yourself to drink. You can just enjoy the aromas.
We also have some juice too. Please try some if you would like.
**Great Burnet:** The sweetness, the sugar content... Burnet can enjoy this much?
**Kurin Yukifude:** Fuu... This tea warms my whole body... It also has a unique fragrance.
**Manuka:** Fufuu, I'm glad. This is an aromatic blend of tea leaves created from the inspiration of Tea Tree.
**Tea Tree:** Scent is just as soothing as the temperature and taste. I recommend this aroma and tea for times when you're feeling nervous or worried.
**Kurin Yukifude:** The scent of ink always certainly calms me... It's good that scents can heal us.
**Tea Tree:** The scent of ink... I never thought of that. I'd like to try incorporating the scent of ink into a new aroma next time...
Kurin Yukifude-san, would you help me develop it? Here's my business card. Please take it...
**Kurin Yukifude:** Eh!? Ah, um... I-I'm... Um... Aah...
**Lemon Grass:** Hey hey hey. You're pushing her far too hard, Tea Tree.
Sorry about this, Kurin Yukifude-chan. Please get in touch if the mood ever takes you.
**Kurin Yukifude:** Y-yes... P-pleased to meet you...
**Great Burnet:** It's full of sweetness? From one end to the other, it's just western and eastern sweets lined up?
Over there is... Amezaiku?
**Kurin Yukifude:** Has an Amezaiku maker come here too...? Flower Knights are really involved in a lot of different things...
But who on earth is the sweet maker...?
**???:** You there, do you know of “Patisserie Macadamia”?
**Great Burnet & Kurin Yukifude:** “Patisserie Macadamia”?
**Silver Orchid:** I know of it♪
**Crown of Thorns:** Also... Heartleaf Orphanage also helps to set up general meetings as voluntary work.
**Common Sorrel:** If you don't mind, then please consider donating...
**Silver Orchid:** If it's a donation for the Orphanage, then I definitely will. If there's anything I can do to help, then I'd be happy to.
**Common Sorrel:** R-really!? Thanks!
See, I told you, Crown of Thorns-san, grass root activities like this is necessary!
**Crown of Thorns:** Fufu, you're right...
Thank you. God bless you and your warm heart.
**Great Burnet:** It's decided? Burnet will take this candy?
**Kurin Yukifude:** then, I'll take this eastern sweet...
Mmm...! This is really tasty...! It's taste is well arranged, but a little different from Bergamot Valley's eastern sweets...
**Great Burnet:** The candy Burnet chose isn't just sweet, but has a deep flavour? What amazing skill?
**Cinnamon:** Ufufu, I'm honoured to be complimented♪
I'm happy to see you enjoy the taste. I can make a lot more, so eat as much as you'd like.
**Kurin Yukifude:** Y-yes...! Thank you...! then, I'll have this one, that one, and this one next...
**Great Burnet:** Kurin Yukifude, I understand your feelings, but you can't go too far? A moderate amount of sweetness is better?
**Macadamia:** He-ey! You, the lady who keeps glancing over her shoulder, don't do that and try Ma-chan's carefully made “Knight Company General Meeting Cake”!
**Silver Orchid:** Ara ara ara... My, the flower decorations are wonderful♪
It's a cute cake that's perfect for today.
**Macadamia:** Exactly!! It's my masterpiece for today, with a Flower Knight in action captured in the cake.
... Mumu? Have you come to my place to buy sweets before, lady?
**Chervil:** Ah! It's Silver Orchid-san, right? You sometimes come to buy sweets for your tea parties...
**Silver Orchid:** Ufufu. I'm honoured that you remember me.
No matter the tea, Patisserie Macadamia's cakes always match them. I'll come and buy more next time.
**Chervil:** Thank you! Please come to “Patisserie Macadamia” again♪
**Cinnamon:** Danchou-san too, please have some. The General Meeting is still going on, so you need to keep your energy up.
Here, say aaah...
**Danchou:** Mumumu... Delicious!
**Macadamia:** Mumuu! Don't go shoving cake straight into Danchou's mouth, Cinnamon!
It's frustrating, with Ma-chan's height...
**Turep:** Macadamia-san, is there a problem?
**Macadamia:** Wawawaa! Turep, stop that!
I hate hugs!!
**Kurin Yukifude:** Fufu... The sweet makers and the sisters from the Orphanage... It's a rather strange pairing, but they're perfectly in sync.
**Silver Orchid:** No matter the personality or work we do, we're all Flower Knights with the same goal. It's only natural that we match paces.
**Great Burnet:** Burnet feels the same?
It has something in common with this banner that you have written?
**Kurin Yukifude:** Yes, this writing – “Many minds, one heart”. We're working together towards one goal...
That way, we can overcome any difficulties. We're all Flower Knights... As long as we're with our allies in the same Knight Company, then can support each other and move forward.
**Silver Orchid:** This is a good phrase for the Knight Company General Meeting where many Flower Knights have gathered.
**Danchou:** It really is a great piece.
**Kurin Yukifude:** ... Ah... Thank you...
.........
... Actually, there's still one more banner left. It's not in this venue, but is decorating a different place... Would you please come with me?
... Here it is.
**Danchou:** This is... The cafeteria?
**Great Burnet:** Master. Look over there?
**Danchou:** !! A wonderful banner on the wall...
**Silver Orchid:** Ara, this one doesn't look like it's just Kurin Yukifude-san's work. This is...
**Kurin Yukifude:** ... We kept it a secret from Danchou-san, but I asked all of the Flower Knights who were involved in setting up the General Meeting to write their favourite words and aspirations on this banner.
**Great Burnet:** Kurin Yukifude... Requested this from the other Flower Knights?
**Kurin Yukifude:** Uuum, eh... I wrote a letter... We're preparing a banner with all our feelings written on it for Danchou-san...
Then, another Flower Knight suggested that we prepare it in secret, so that it can be a surprise...
I was so nervous, but I'm happy that I managed to prepare it without incident...♪
**Silver Orchid:** It's truly wonderful. The first banner we saw was like a flower garden, but this one... Various handwriting made by many Flower Knights...
**Kurin Yukifude:** ... Yes. It really became a flower garden of a banner.
But, I wasn't able to speak to you, Silver Orchid-san and Great Burnet... I'm so sorry for my shortfalling...
**Great Burnet:** Kurin Yukifude. Burnet will write it right now?
**Silver Orchid:** Yes. If you would permit us, then we would like our own flowers to bloom in this garden.
**Kurin Yukifude:** …!
O-of course...! Please use this writing set!
**Silver Orchid:** How is it, Danchou-san?
**Great Burnet:** It really is the best banner?
**Kurin Yukifude:** To Danchou-san who is always working hard... This is an expression of our vows and aspirations.
**Great Burnet:** You could say it's “a burst of colour”? Just like all the flowers that bloom, Burnet and the others will be just as active?
**Danchou:** Thanks... I'll treasure this.
**Solver Orchid:** Fufu, it's great to see you so satisfied, Danchou-san.
**Great Burnet:** Master, Silver Orchid, Kurin Yukifude. It's about time to return to the hall?
If the Knight Commander is late for the start of the second half of the meeting, then he will lose face?
**Kurin Yukifude:** Yes, you're right... Let's go, Danchou-san.
*- With the feelings of the Flower Knights in mind, we support their activities, and are supported by them, as we move forward step by step. Until we can restore peace to this world together...*
