## Character Story Quests

### Uninvited Guests

**Marina Katsuragi:** Thank you for hosting such a wonderful tea party for us today.

**Danchou:** Even though it was a coincidence that we ran into each other, I'm lucky to have met you in this way. I wanted some way to tell you that I wanted you to enjoy your time in this world until you can find a way home.

**Azarin:** You're even going to flatter us with your words. But for Heart Tree to lend us this place, could there be a change on the wind?

**Verne Reese:** That's rude, Azarin. Besides, it was Bluet's idea, not hers.

**Yuri Amakubo:** Rather, it was more that she was beaten down by Bluet's strong will. It doesn't seem like Heart Tree trusts us yet.

*-Just as they say, Heart Tree was sitting there and sulking. Contrary to that, Bluet was sitting next to her and staring at Marina and the others with glittering eyes.*

**Marina Katsuragi:** I see... But it can't be helped. We've come from a different world, so it's only natural to be suspicious.

**Azarin:** We're “uninvited guests” after all. No matter, I'm used to this kind of treatment now.

**Danchou:** Heart Tree's just the type to be cautious, I'm sure she really does want to be friends. If that wasn't true, she would never have lent this place to us.

*-I explained that Heart Tree has no bad intentions and asked them to not worry too much about it.*

**Marina Katsuragi:** Thank you... Danchou-san.

*-And so a lively tea party started under the clear blue skies.*

**Verne Reese:** Ooh... Both Mistletoe and Watercress' sweets are excellent.

**Yuri Amakubo:** Cake, cookies and tea. The food culture of this world isn't too dissimilar to that of our own. But that doesn't mean I'm not interested.

**Azarin:** It's al so delicious... When it comes to different worlds, I'd have thought that the sweets would have been stranger.

**Marina Katsuragi:** Fufuu. Even though you also come from a different world, you say such things, Azarin.

**Azarin:** Th-that's different! I saw it in a manga. Castellas the size of tables and cakes made by magic. Oh, and the huge meat still on the bone!

**Yuri Amakubo:** That last one isn't even a sweet...

**Azarin:** ... Eh! You'll make this again for us, Mistletoe? Really!?

**Verne Reese:** If they're doing it, then there'll be no issues. So, when it's complete, I'll also...

-*Just then, a strong wind suddenly blew.*

**Marina Katsuragi:** Kyaa!?

**Verne Reese:** Th-the wind!? I'm being blown away... Kuaaa!

-*They were knocked over by the force of the blow. A swarm of pests passed by in an instant and sent everyone flying in their wake.*

**Marina Katsuragi:** \*Cough cough\*... What just happened...?

**Azarin:** Wait, wasn't that pests just now!? What's with that number... That's not normal!

**Verne Reese:** Huh, where's the table!? Don't tell me they stole it!?

**Yuri Amakubo:** Yeah, the sweets and the tea, everything's been lifted. Apparently some unexpected and odd guests came to our party...

**Azarin:** Don't call the pests that! It's bad manners for them to fly in and crash it!

**Verne Reese:** They seem to have headed towards the forest... Once they pass through there, the city's just right in front of them.

**Danchou:** If this is left alone, the citizens are going to get hurt. *-That can't be allowed to happen, so I order the Flower Knights to move out.*

**Marina Katsuragi:** Wait! We'll help too!

**Danchou:** I'm thankful of your offer, don't get that wrong. But Marina and the others are our guests. *-I hesitate at this, and Marina adds as if she predicted it.*

**Marina Katsuragi:** After all, everyone prepared this tea party for us... There's no way we can sit and wait after it was ruined!

**Azarin:** It's just as Marina says! We can't just sit and be quiet after they ruined all our fun!

**Verne Reese:** After those two put all the time and effort into making those sweets... I'll make those pests regret what they did!

**Yuri Amakubo:** It seems like it's unanimous. Let's go, Danchou. We need to stop them all here before the damage gets any worse.

-*I was moved by their determination and didn't hold them back further. I nodded to them to fight together, and added in my gratitude.*

**Marina Katsuragi:** Yes! Then, let's go!

-S*o the Flower Knights and Exstia rushed after the pests.*

### Our Tea Party

-*The Exstia and Flower Knights chased after the pests at full speed.*

**Marina Katsuragi:** Ah! There! Pests!

**Yuri Amakubo:** They're carrying the table... There's no doubt it's the same swarm as before.

**Verne Reese:** Then, don't hold back in cutting them up! Haaaa!

**Pest:** Giiii!

*-Suddenly, another pest blocked the way.*

**Azarin:** Huh, reinforcements!? At this time! Please read between the lines!

**Yuri Amakubo:** Held back by dozens of them... It's not good if we meet the end like this.

**Danchou:** If we get held back now, then those pests are going to make it to the city. The Flower Knights will retaliate here, and the Exstia will work together to stop the pests heading to the city.

**Marina Katsuragi:** Understood, Danchou-san! Stay safe, Flower Knights!

**Yuri Amakubo:** Dividing our strength... The risk is huge, but we have no other choice. Let's go.

**Pest:** Gugigii!

**Azarin:** Unfortunately there's a dead end ahead.

*-Marina and the others chased down the pests in a heartbeat.*

**Marina Katsuragi:** For the tea party that everyone worked so hard to prepare, and...

**Verne Reese:** The grudge of those who handmade those sweets... I'll carve it into your flesh!

-*With that, Marina and the others engaged the pests.*

**Marina Katsuragi:** Kuu, no good... I've lost my footing, it looks like...

**Azarin:** Eat this!

**Marina Katsuragi:** Aah! Thanks Azarin!

**Azarin:** You don't need to thank me. I won't be able to forgive you as a rival if you were beaten by a bug.

**Yuri Amakubo:** There's a lot of them. We need to work together.

**Verne Reese:** Roger! Haaaa!

-*They all faced against the pests, but it was still a hard fight.*

**Azarin:** Kuu... What's with these numbers? We kill and kill, but there's no end!

And it's so tight that I can't even fly! What's the hell!

**Yuri Amakubo:** As I thought...

**Marina Katsuragi:** Eh, Yuri-sensei!?

**Yuri Amakubo:** The battlefields between us and the monsters were always in a city. Therefore we lack the experience to fight in a forest.

Also, we're in a strange world with no sense of the land. In this forests, there are lots of pests...

**Verne Reese:** That doesn't mean that we can just hide away quietly...! With this sword and my pride as a princess, there's no way I can lose...!

We resisted the invasion of Rogia in the same way. No matter who they are, we'll never surrender to invaders!

**Marina Katsuragi:** Haa, haa... That's right. We're Exstia... There's no way we can lose to evil!

-*Even though their bodies were covered in injuries, they still stood strong against the pests.*

*-Just then, bullets of light came flying in from behind.*

**Pest:** Gugyaaa!?

**Marina Katsuragi:** Eh!? That attack...!

**Azarin:** The Flower Knights!

-*After defeating the pests that blocked their way, the Flower Knights moved in to rendezvous with the Exstia.*

**Yuri Amakubo:** Did you defeat all the enemies? As you'd expect from the Flower Knights, so reliable.

**Azarin:** Look. Even Heart Tree is lending a hand in a time like this!

... Eh? Could it be that you trust us now... Huh, what are you saying so suddenly!

-*Apparently Heart Tree also had a change of heart after seeing the Exstia getting angry at the pests crashing the tea party.*

**Yuri Amakubo:** Fuu. This is also a “unanimous opinion.”

**Marina Katsuragi:** Yes! Now that our hearts are one, let's defeat them together!

-*The counter attack by the Exstia and Flower Knights begun.*

**Azarin:** Now! With the Flower Knights distracting them, we'll take them in one hit!

**Marina Katsuragi:** Yeah! I'll show you how to beat them!

**Verne Reese:** Let's go!

**Yuri Amakubo:** Special...!

**All three:** [[[HaaaaAAA!!]]]

-*With that, they succeeded in defeating the pests admirably.*

**Marina Katsuragi:** Fu... The dust has settled.

-*The returning Exstia and Flower Knights work together to restore the party venue.*

**Verne Reese:** We've managed to get the table and such back safely, but the essential sweets have already...

**Azarin:** ... Eh!? Mistletoe and the others will make us another batch? Really!?

**Yuri Amakubo:** Well, we'll also help out in any way we can.

**Marina Katsuragi:** Yes! With our hearts as one. Let's all do our best!

-*So the Exstia and Flower Knights joined forces to do all the necessary tasks in order to redo the tea party.*
