Jump, Rabbit! The Tropical Eggrace/Story

### The Country of Festivals

In response to the Snow Festival in Winter Rose, Banana Ocean hosts their Easter Festival. Sedum, who holds a certain determination in her heart, has come to participate in the “Strongest Bunny tournament” alongside Nasturtium and Spilanthes whom she met by chance.

**Helianthus:** Casablanca, Agapanthus... The situation is dire. Just as the Kodaibana situation has settled down, this kind of situation has to spring up...
**Casablanca:** Yes, I have to say we've been careless. We seem to have been resting on our laurels a little too much. We must take immediate action.
**Agapanthus:** This was truly unexpected.
Winter Rose's Snowball Fight. It seems like it was a greater success than we anticipated.
**Helianthus:** That's not fair! It can only be done in that country!
**Casablanca:** Because of that, our number of tourists is much less this season than that of last year's. It appears that Winter Rose has taken them all.
The rumours on the wind say that because of the festival's reputation and that there's no snow in this country, the children have taken to making “sandmen”. It's only a matter of time before they begin having sandball fights.
**Helianthus:** Festivals are this country's soul! If we don't fight back with something even more flashy, our name of the World Flower of Festivals will be taken away!
**Agapanthus:** Did we even have such a name?
**Casablanca:** But what's happening at this time...? The flower viewing is only happening at Feria in Blossom Hill where the giant cherry blossoms are. If we compete with them with the same thing, then we're only going to lose more customers...
**Casablanca & Helianthus:** That's it!!
**Agapanthus:** ... What is?

*... Thus, the Easter Festival in Banana Ocean had begun.*
*There wasn't much preparation time, but it was the World Flower of Festivals(?) The whole country unites to quickly put together the “festival”, and gathering crowds of tourists and bunnies from various countries flow in for the day. A festival that will be more lively and fun than any other...*
*However, with the opposition from other countries, this country wasn't going to stop just there...!!*

**Sedum:** ... It really is a country of festivals... No matter where you look, it's people, people, people... Actually, it really isn't a place where I would come to...
But... Kufu, kufufufufu... With all this festival liveliness, it won't be an issue if I wear “this”... I think.
... N-no, am I overthinking it...? When I first saw it, I thought it was “embarrassing”... That maybe I'd get caught and be called a slut...
R-regardless of what the police and guards say, what if I was caught by a shady or violent person...!? Ah, aah, then something like this, or that would...
**Nasturtium:** Hello.
**Sedum:** Fuhi!?
Ah, I made a strange sound... H-hello... Do you need something from me...?
**Nasturtium:** Yes. I have a question, have they already decided on the teams for the tournament?
**Sedum:** To-tournament...? Isn't today... the Easter Festival?
**Nasturtium:** Yes, it's the festival. So there's a tournament to decide the strongest Bunny Flower Knight.
**Sedum:** ......?? Bunny... Flower Knight...???
**Nasturtium:** You didn't know? You've been wandering around in front of the reception desk, so I thought you might be in a similar situation to me.
**Sedum:** I-I didn't come here for that... But, maybe this means that this could come in handy...

*- If option 1 “Ah, Sedum.” is chosen;*
***Sedum:** Ah, Danchou-dono... What a coincidence meeting in such a place. It must be our destiny... kufufu...*
*... Well, I had already read in the stars that you'd come here... So I came all the way out here because of that...*
*... By the way, um... This person is...?*

*- If option 2 “Oh, Nasturtium.” is chosen;*
***Nasturtium:** Hello Danchou-san. What a coincidence. So you also came to this festival...*
*No, could you be here for the tournament? Danchou-san's home base may be Blossom Hill, but I'll also be representing my country today. It's a shame, but you should give up on victory. Is this person next to you your representative fighter? A pleasure. My name's Nasturtium.*

**Spilanthes:** Hello! I might be short, but I'm the large chested Spilanthes! I came along with Danchou and the others to the festival today♪ Pleased to meet you!
**Sedum:** Kufuu...! What a humorous self introduction... Kufu, kufufufufu...!
**Spilanthes:** Ah, did I make you laugh? Yay! Danchou didn't have much of a reaction when I told him. I'd be happy if we could get along♪
**Sedum:** Hii... Eh, her smile's so dazzling... It feels like she lives in a different world... Ah, I'm Sedum, how do you do...
**Nasturtium:** I see, so you're purely festival goers? If that's the case, would you like to join my team?
**Spilanthes:** Team? Do you mean for the Strongest Bunny tournament?
**Sedum:** S-Strongest Bunny tournament...?
**Spilanthes:** To compete against the Snowball Fight in Winter Rose, they're having a modified egg and spoon race? Or so I've heard.
**Nasturtium:** It appears that you need to compete to see how many of the rabbit eggs that are running around the area you can catch without using a spoon.
**Sedum:** Rabbit eggs...? Running around...?
**Nasturtium:** Something like magical eggs that bounce around like rabbits. They have rabbit ears growing from them so you can spot them easily.
Participation requires teams of three, so if I'd known that earlier... That's why I'm trying to gather the required number of people.
**Spilanthes:** I see, that is a problem! If that's the case, I'm good as long as Danchou is fine with it!
If we need a three person team, I wonder if Sedum-san will be the other person?
**Sedum:** Ah, no, I'm...
... Eh, what is it? Danchou-dono wants to see me work...? Ku, kufufu... If you put it like that...
... But, will I really be OK...?
**Nasturtium:** You don't need to be concerned. I'm a Flower Knight who claims victory. As long as I'm here, then victory is only natural.
**Sedum:** Hawa... What is with all these dazzling people... I can't look straight...
**Spilanthes:** Yay, then there's no problems! Then, let's get registered straight away!
**Nasturtium:** It's good to be enthusiastic, but I'm the leader, OK. Spear Lance-san.
**Spilanthes:** It's Spilanthes! Remember my name at least!
**Sedum:** A tournament... I'm worried that I might be in the wrong place...
This may be my “transforming chance”... Maybe?

### Invincible Super Spicy Star Bunnies

Sedum and the others have been placed in the first match of the Strongest Bunny tournament. Their opponents are the eccentric “Mischievous Rabbit Quartet” but Nasturtium charges in at full speed from the start! How will this match go...?

**MC Morning Star Lily:** Everyone, thank you for your extreme patience. Let us begin the opening ceremony. First of all, a welcome message from our sponsors, if you please.
**Sponsor Helianthus:** Everyone, thank you for coming! It seems that there was a really stunning festival in the snowy country, but when it comes to heated contests, this country won't lose!
**Sponsor Casablanca:** Enough of the official story. Our Easter won't just be beautiful and lively, but will also seek the strongest, fastest and hottest. Therefore...
**Casablanca & Helianthus:** We now declare the opening of the Strongest Bunny tournament!!
**Sponsor Casablanca:** Jump! Bunny Flower Knights! For that title of “Strongest”!
**Sponsor Helianthus:** I expect things to become excitingly flashy! Good luck♪
**Spilanthes:** Hmm, the opening ceremony's over! It's finally started!
... But was Easter always this kind of festival?
**Sedum:** Well, it is Banana Ocean after all... Don't they say nothing is ever strange here, no matter what happens?
**Nasturtium:** Whatever happens, our only goal is victory. Please stick with me until the very end.
**Spilanthes:** Waa, such fighting spirit! What a wonderful bunny outfit, Nasturtium-san!
**Nasturtium:** Thank you, Spin-san. All for this mission, I had a professional designer make it for me, so it not only suits me but can withstand an actual battle.
**Spilanthes:** Ooh, so you can even go and subjugate pests in that! Hey, it's Spilanthes!
**Sedum:** Ku, kufufu... It suits you wonderfully... It's enough to have one person in a team look like a rabbit, so it looks like my turn won't come up...
**Tournament Announcer:** Now, let's get started! The entrance of the first team of the first match!
The team who gathered in a hurry on site! Was this encounter destined by the stars? Or is just simple coincidence? “Invincible Super Spicy Star Bunnies”!!
**Sedum:** ... Eh, what was that call just now? Could it be... Is that what we're called...?
**Nasturtium:** I left the team naming to Danchou-san. It seems like he's incorporated all of our characteristics.
**Sedum:** Ah, isn't it a bit too on the nose...? No, I'm worried about it, but right now, the match is...
**Spilanthes:** That's right! We're the first team of the first match! Let's bounce forth enthusiastically!
**Sedum:** Hiii...! First and foremost, we're going to be the easiest to get attention...!
**Nasturtium:** There's no changing what's already started. Let's go out with pride, Steven-san.
**Sedum:** I'm female...
**Spilanthes:** At the very least, can't you say “woman”?
**Tournament Announcer:** Their opponents are real rabbits that have come from the moon!? Now they've changed to bunnies, quickly throw out your cosplay and get here! “Mischievous Rabbit Quartet”!!
**Hare's Tail Grass:** Kukuku... We'll let you know that today's protagonists will be us!
**Japanese Silver Grass:** Let me start from the beginning! Everyone, let's do our best!
**Pussy Ears:** Munya munya... Plan A, effective immediately... Guu...
**Usagigoke:** U-chan's a cheerleader today. Go go everyone.
**Tournament Announcer:** Well then... Round one, start!!
**Sedum:** I-it's already started... So we just need to catch those eggs that are jumping around...? They're all over the place, but how should we go about rounding them up...?
**Spilanthes:** Are you talking to yourself? Nasturtium-san's already moving!
**Sedum:** Eh? But she's here...
**Nasturtium:** ...? “...”
**Spilanthes:** Eh!? She disappeared!?
**Sedum:** Don't tell me... An after-image!?
**Nasturtium:** This costume is also very agile. Let me show you how it works...
Secret technique! High Speed Rabbit Side Leap!
**Commentator Showy Lily:** Oooh!? Competitor Nasturtium is too fast! She's so fast she's splitting apart!!
**Nasturtium:** It's troublesome when you don't know what you're opponent is going to do. I'll decide things before they can initiate their tricks!

### Invincible Promises

The “Invincible Super Spicy Star Bunnies” win the first round. During the break, Spilanthes and Nasturtium try out the egg dishes at the festival stalls, while Sedum gets depressed when the children point out her habit of talking to herself. Nasturtium then makes a promise to her.

**Commentator Showy Lily:** And here's the results! The team who got the most eggs and won the first match of the first round is--- “Invincible Super Spicy Star Bunnies”!!
**Pussy Ears:** Ya... We-were-beaten...
**Japanese Silver Grass:** Yeah, it's a shame. I'd have liked to win at least one match...
**Nasturtium:** It couldn't be helped seeing as I was your opponent. Good game.
**Hare's Tail Grass:** How-ever! Even though we perish in the first round, the second and third rounds' bunnies will be coming to get you... Usa!
**Usagigoke:** Good luck. I want you guys to win now.
**Commentator Showy Lily:** Wow, what an interesting game development! It was impressive how they each caught so many Rabbit Eggs with different tactics!
However, even though the “Mischievous Rabbit Quartet” tactics weren't so bad, how did the match get so split? Commenter Heliopsis-dono.
**Commenter Heliopsis:** Their signature tricks backfired on them. Nasturtium-sama won this game with her amazing speed, so the set up time required was their loss. If they had adopted a strategy that takes advantage of Hare's Tail Grass-sama's speed, or if...
**Commentator Showy Lily:** I see, so it was a clash of tactics! However, there's no doubt that this memorable bout is going to make this tournament a lively one! Please give a huge round of applause for both teams!
**Spilanthes:** We won! Amazing amazing! We did it, Sedum-san!
**Sedum:** Dohi!? Y-y-y-you're too close, Spilanthes-dono...! Ah, what a nice smell...
**Nasturtium:** That's the spirit. Let's move on to the next round with this momentum.
We have some time until our next match so what should we do?
**Spilanthes:** Hm, you're right... The tournament's great, but we should also enjoy the festival too. Danchou also can't join us in the matches!
**Nasturtium:** Well, shall we have some free time then? I'll have a rest and watch the other teams' games. Once it's time, then let's meet back up here.
**Spilanthes:** Ye-es!
**Sedum:** Y-yes...
Fuu, that was far too tense... Nasturtium-dono, Spilanthes-dono, the other team, the spectators, and even the tournament staff...
...... But. I don't get too many chances to get such a huge ovation... Surprisingly, it wasn't as bad as I thought.
**Pure Child:** Ah! She was in the last match!
**Innocent Child:** We saw your match! Congratulations!
**Sedum:** Ahyou!? Ah, I made another weird sound... In front of kids too...
Ku, kufufuu... Thank you... Umm... I'd be happy if you would support us in our next match too.
... So I can speak to kids... Aah, this brings back memories... At Bergamot Valley's Star Gazing Festival... That was fun... I wonder where everyone is now...
**Pure Child:** What?
**Sedum:** Ah, don't mind me, I was just talking to myself.
**Innocent Child:** No... I think you should stop talking to yourself!
**Sedum:** Eh.
**Innocent Child:** My mom told me to stop because it makes you see things in a strange way!
**Pure Child:** I was told that too. I shouldn't go near people who mumble to themselves.
**Sedum:** ............

–Easter Festival, Food Stalls–
**Sneezeweed:** How about some tasty omelette rice? We can also make it mini sized so it's easy to eat.
**Gaillardia:** Right now, you can make requests for Sneezeweed to write a ketchup message! For a limited time only!
**Usagigiku:** Eggs Benedict here! We've made plenty, so please come and eat everyone!
**Showy Evening Primrose:** Come and see the full moon in them. Enjoy them while watching the tournament.
**Nasturtium:** \*chew chew\*... \*chew chew\*...
**Spilanthes:** Ah, Nasturtium-san! Hello!
**Nasturtium:** \*chew\*... Hello. Spinning Rod-san. Danchou-san.
**Spilanthes:** It's Spilanthes! What are you eating?
**Nasturtium:** A scotch egg from that stall. How about you two? Omelette rice, Eggs Benedict, frittatas, tortillas, and the flans were all tasty.

*-No matter whether option 1 “Eating everything as ever...” or option 2 “Everything looks like it's sweet” is chosen, the result is the same;*

**Spilanthes:** Ah... Thanks! But I'm fine.
**Nasturtium:** Oya, you don't like walking and eating?
**Spilanthes:** No, I like it! More like it's my hobby! But everything is just sweet food...
I really like super spicy food! I really want to eat things like super spicy boiled eggs, or super spicy omelettes!
**Nasturtium:** I see, super spicy food. These stalls certainly don't have any of that.
**Spilanthes:** Right? So that's why I made my own! Spicy devilled eggs with home made super spicy sauce!
Mmm...! This tingling is irresistible♪ Do you want a taste, Nasturtium-san?
**Nasturtium:** Thank you. \*Munch\*
......!
**Spilanthes:** How is it? What do you think?
**Nasturtium:** ... What a devilish spiciness. It's as if I'm getting more power as it warms every corner of my body.
**Spilanthes:** Really!? I'm so happy♪ There's not many people who like super spicy food. The first one to fully eat one of my super spicy dishes was Danchou...
Ouch... chchch... I-I'm sorry!
**Sedum:** No... It was my fault... This insignificant shut in who's dared to step outside...
**Spilanthes:** Waa, Sedum-san!? Are you OK!? Why are you curled up at the side of the street!?
**Sedum:** It's fine, leave me alone... I should never have come to this festival...
**Spilanthes:** ... What happened?
**Sedum:** Nothing special... Everything's normal... Normal me... Unchangeable me... Kufufu...
**Nasturtium:** Fumu... I don't understand a single thing, but are you going to be alright in the next match in this state, Madam-san?
**Sedum:** So erotic...
**Spilanthes:** What is?
**Sedum:** ... I can't nod when you ask me if I'm alright. However, if I leave the team, I'll be causing trouble for you two...
N-no... I was already causing trouble in that last match... I'm not very strong, so I have to leave everything to you from the start...
**Nasturtium:** ? I really don't know what you're saying. You did your very best until the end, right.
Also, it was me who asked you to join the match, but it was your own will that brought you to this festival. But you say you shouldn't have come to this festival? What caused you to decide to come to this festival?
**Sedum:** ...... I wanted to change.
**Nasturtium:** What did you want to change?
**Sedum:** I don't know. Maybe everything. I have this personality, and when I notice it, I'm a perfect loner...
I've managed to make some friends recently, but at the bottom of it, I'm a shut in... Originally, I would have been the kind of person who would never have spoken to Nasturtium-dono or Spilanthes-dono.
I decided to go out and actually come to this festival, but I couldn't do it by myself... Wh-when I did finally step out, I was still the same me, after all I know the ending that I'm waiting for.
Well, whatever... It can't be helped that I'm a loner who can't communicate... My calling is to look up into the starry skies and determine the fate of this world... As long as I remember it's importance, everything else can be sacrificed... Kufufu...
**Spilanthes:** Ummm... How do I put this...
**Nasturtium:** Has somebody said something horrible to you? For you to have such a long soliloquy.
**Spilanthes:** So straight!
**Sedum:** Th... The habit of talking to myself at length is proof that I'm doing my job properly, right...? All because we hide ourselves away... So, when I forgot about that and came out, it hit me square in the face...
I thought that I could change, but I was wrong... So you don't need to feel sorry for me... Kufufu...
**Nasturtium:** Fumu... I honestly don't know, but I understand. So it's decided.
**Sedum:** Decided...? What has been decided...?
**Nasturtium:** I'm going to lead you to victory.
Well, it's already a certainty that I'm going to win, so I really didn't need to say it again... Well, it is what it is.
**Sedum:** ... But I'll definitely hold you back...?
**Nasturtium:** Not a problem. I'm the invincible Nasturtium. The winner will be me, and that means that I'll be the one to win.
So for someone who really likes to stay locked in, I'm going to show you scenery that you've never seen before.

### Time for the Final Match!

Just as the victorious Nasturtium declared, the team smoothly wins each match and proceeds to the final round. The last to stand against them is a team from Bergamot Valley – Lamb's Ear, Balloon Vine, and Nasturtium's greatest rival, Laurentia!

**Commentator Showy Lily:** Here's the result! The winners of that heated semi final match are “Invincible Super Spicy Star Bunnies”!!
**Commenter Heliopsis:** Nasturtium-sama's momentum can't be stopped. She also holds the top place for the total amount of personally gathered eggs. At this rate she's aiming for the tournament's record.
**Nasturtium:** Thank you, Danchou-san. But it's only natural that I would win, boing.
**Sedum:** I... Is she a monster, that woman...? She's kept that pace up since the first match, how does she not run out of energy...?
**Nasturtium:** I've already told you. I'm the victorious Nasturtium. The winner will be me, and that means that I'll be the one to win.
**Spilanthes:** Hey, hey amazing, next is the finals! I never thought I'd make it this far! Everyone will be so proud of me when I get home♪
**Nasturtium:** Proud...? It's only natural that I'd win, so well, if there's some kind of trophy or medal I'd like to take it back to Bergamot Valley. I'm representing my country after all.
**???:** Fuu. You're representing the country? That's a big ask, Nasturtium.
**Laurentia:** You might be saying that from the bottom of your heart though.
**Nasturtium:** I thought you'd make it this far. Local News-san.
**Laurentia:** Everyone's local idol! And it's pronounced Laurentia!
Your final match opponents will be us, the “Windy Valley Rabbits”! I'm going to show you who's the representative of the country and who's the strongest team!
**Lamb's Ear:** Ba, baa. Please be gentle.
**Balloon Vine:** Let's bounce bounce and leap into the finals♪
**Sedum:** Valley... It certainly is an awesome valley...
**Spilanthes:** When it comes to valleys, we won't be beaten! Here! My chest! Look!
**Laurentia:** What do you think we're competing about! No, wait, stop it! Danchou-san's watching!
Ahem... A-anyway, don't think you're going to win like you have been doing until now. Well, let's meet again during the match.
**Nasturtium:** She had a different outfit than usual. She must have coordinated for this tournament. It looks like we're going to need to take this seriously as well.
**Sedum:** Seriously...? Y-you still have more to give...!?
**Nasturtium:** Yes, I can still power up my outfit. Please wait a moment.
Thank you for waiting. Preparations complete.
**Spilanthes:** Ooh, you've made it lighter! It's more streamlined and sophisticated, Nasturtium-san!
**Nasturtium:** Thank you, Spiritual-san.
**Spilanthes:** It's Spilanthes! I'm looking forward to what you're going to do next!
**Nasturtium:** My mobility has also improved. With this, I can't lose to Low Risk-san.
**Sedum:** .........
**Nasturtium:** ...? What's the matter, Sesame-san. Keep your chin up.
**Sedum:** Because... Because Nasturtium-dono's...
... Butt is!!
**Nasturtium:** What's wrong with my butt? The winner is always going to be ahead of everyone else. It's only natural you'd have a view of it.
**Sedum:** I might be saying something like that, but that's not what I mean...
**Spilanthes:** That's what it means! What are you saying about her butt, Sedum-san!
**Sedum:** Spilanthes-dono too...? The World Flower of terrifying festivals... This is the way everyone will get poisoned...
**Spilanthes:** No no, it's nothing like that...
I'm just trying to be more straight speaking! You should try it too, Sedum-san!
**Sedum:** ... More straight speaking...?
**Spilanthes:** Yes! Don't worry about what others think, Sedum-san is Sedum-san and that's perfectly fine!
I don't know what anyone's said to you, but I like the Sedum-san who laughed openly at my jokes. So... It feels a little lonely when you always look down on yourself so much...
**Sedum:** ...
**Tournament Announcer:** Now the excitement of the audience is peaking! Are both teams ready? Whether you laugh or cry, this is the end!
“Invincible Super Spicy Star Bunnies” vs “Windy Valley Rabbits”! The final match to decide who's the strongest bunny... Start!!

### Jump, Rabbit! The Tropical Egg Race

Due to the tactics of “Windy Valley Rabbits” the “Invincible Super Spicy Star Bunnies” have a tough fight. Just as Nasturtium loses in the final Rabbit Egg contest and it seemed that the results had been decided, the final Bunny Flower Knight Sedum who has changed into a bunny costume rushes in.

**Spilanthes:** Fuu, haa... That's the tenth one! How are we doing? Are we moving too slowly?
**Nasturtium:** It's not bad, but it seems that the number of Rabbit Eggs has increased dramatically. The other team has acquired the same amount.
**Sedum:** I-I'm sorry... The egg I was aiming for was taken away by the other side...
**Nasturtium:** That's proof that you're looking at the same things as our opponents. You're still able to compete, Sedori-san.
**Spilanthes:** Hey, are you alright Nasturtium-san? You've been flying around up until now, but maybe you should have held back in the earlier rounds and left things to us...
**Nasturtium:** Thank you for your concern. I'm fine.
**Spilanthes:** But...
**Nasturtium:** If you're concerned, then focus on doing your best and not worrying about about me. That's what would help me best.
**Spilanthes:** G-got it! I'll get so serious that I could die today!
**Nasturtium:** Yes, that's the spirit.
**Sedum:** ...
**Laurentia:** ... Just like Nasturtium. I'm surprised that she can still keep up this pace.
**Balloon Vine:** Nasturtium-san's definitely a strong enemy. It's not much of an exaggeration to say that she's been deciding the matches by herself up until now.
**Lamb's Ear:** But... That means that we're going to win!
**Commentator Showy Lily:** Wow, what a white hot final! The Rabbit Eggs are being sent out in increasing numbers and speed!
**Commentator Helianthus:** Ah, it's so flashy! There's no way we can lose to Winter Rose! Thank you everyone♪
**Commentator Showy Lily:** ... Huh? Helianthus-sama!? W-why are you in the commentator's seat...?
**Commentor Heliopsis:** It was expected. When she can't stand it any longer, she gets involved.
**Commentator Helianthus:** There's no way I could keep quiet when there's such a flashy game to watch!
Hey hey, we need to commentate more! How's the match going!? Who's winning!?
**Commentator Showy Lily:** Ah, yes! The current scores on the Rabbit Eggs are...
... A-about the same! It looks like they're tying! It seems like the “Invincible Super Spicy Star Bunnies” haven't made any difference even after their huge lead in the starting dash.
**Commentator Helianthus:** Hmm! Pretty good! Does this mean that the “Windy Valley Rabbits” are simply too strong? Commentor Heliopsis-san!
**Commentor Heliopsis:** ... There is that, but their positioning is working. Lamb's Ear-sama and Balloon Vine-sama are marking Nasturtium-sama. Even if they can't block all the points, her momentum has been considerably suppressed.
Also, Laurentia-sama appears to be preventing the other two from getting any Rabbit Eggs. They have completely countered all the points that would have given the “Invincible Super Spicy Star Bunnies” any point advantage.
**Commentator Helianthus:** Ooh? That's a surprising strategy. Laurentia usually has more of an image of facing Nasturtium head on though.
**Commentor Heliopsis:** When they have a head to head, she does that. But this is a team match. When considering how to claim victory for a team, what would be the most reliable way to defeat your opponent...
Laurentia-sama thought about that and decided upon this strategy. It's good that she usually takes each match seriously, sincerely and plays fair.
**Nasturtium:** Fufuu... The final match truly is the hardest. If it wasn't, then it wouldn't be interesting. This is going to be a proper contest from now.
**Sedum:** As I thought... I don't have the heart... All of the eggs I aim for are being taken by Laurentia-dono...
I'm the only dead weight on the team, Nasturtium-dono and Spilanthes-dono are claiming points...
**Spilanthes:** Fight on, Sedum-san! We don't know the results until the end, so don't get discouraged!
**Sedum:** Thanks for your encouragement... But... There's no way I can win like this...
I can't be the only one to not get any eggs... I can't finish things like this......!
**Spilanthes:** Eh, Sedum-san!? Where are you going!?
**Sedum:** Could you just wait a moment! I'll be... I'll definitely be back!
**Spilanthes:** E-even if you say that so suddenly! What should we do Nasturtium-san!?
**Nasturtium:** Apparently she has some kind of plan. Then we just need to have faith.
**Spilanthes:** I-is that really true though...?
**Nasturtium:** Not a problem. *We're* going to win. Me, her, and you, I'll use all my power to make it happen. Is that wrong?
**Spilanthes:** ... I'm actually really surprised that I don't doubt that... How do you say... It's amazing that I feel it so strongly...!
O-K! Until it happens, I'm going to stick with the goddess of victory until the very end! We'll just have to hold our ground in this match until Sedum-san gets back!
**Nasturtium:** Got it!!
**Lamb's Ear:** Ba-baaa! Just a little more!
**Commentator Showy Lily:** Competitor Nasturtium grabbed it! With that, the points are once again even!
**Laurentia:** Just like Nasturtium... Even after I took all measures to create a strategy and train especially but we're still evenly matched up until now!
**Nasturtium:** I should pay you my respects too. I can't yet predict whether this will be a win or a loss. However, the gathering isn't over...
This is fun. But also regrettable. This enjoyable contest is going to end in my victory all too soon.
**Laurentia:** Huh, You've got the same big mouth as usual! You are the invincible Nasturtium after all! You still have a black mark in your combat history though!
**Commentator Helianthus:** There's only one more egg left now! How are the scores looking!?
**Balloon Vine:** The final egg... Where could it...
Ah, there, there it is! Over there!
**Laurentia:** I'll get it!
**Nasturtium:** That's mine!
**Lamb's Ear:** Go get it! Lautrentia-san!
**Spilanthes:** Win! Nasturtium-san!
**Laurentia:** Nasturtiuuuuuum!!
**Nasturtium:** Laurentiaaaaaa!!
**Commentator Helianthus:** Go go go go! In the end it turns into a head to head! Even with such a fierce clash, neither side gives up any ground!! The sparks are flying in such a flashy way!!
**Commentator Showy Lily:** Aaah!? But it's over now! Nasturtium-dono's down!
**Commentor Heliopsis:** She can no longer hide her fatigue from the earlier rounds. Nasturtium-dono has always competed as an ace player. On the other hand, Laurentia-sama has been aware of conserving her strength by cooperating with her teammates.
In addition, there's been the struggle to make up for Sedum-sama's disappearance... It's been an amazing performance to keep up the tie until now, but it seems it was necessary to preserve a little more strength to win the head to head fight against her greatest opponent – Laurentia-sama.
**Nasturtium:** Guu...!
**Laurentia:** It seems like the luck that I've been missing too much on until the final has finally come! Even if you have the best individual stats, it will be me who wins this match! Nasturtium!!
**Commentator Helianthus:** Now it's time for competitor Laurentia to run unopposed towards the final Rabbit Egg! There's nobody left to stop her! This is the game!!
**Commentator Showy Lily:** !! N-no, not yet! There's one other person chasing it from another direction!! That's...!!
**Sedum:** Boi...... Boooooing!!
**Spilanthes:** Sedum-san!?
**Commentator Helianthus:** What! It can't be! Is this a secret weapon that they've kept hidden until the final!? Bunny Sedum is chasing it at incredible speed!!
**Sedum:** Heeee! I'm getting so much attention! Please don't look at this chubby and messy bodyyyy!!
I-I'm so embarrassed I could die...! But if I quit now...
... E-even if I regret it...! I'll regret doing nothing even more, so just for today...! I'll choose the regret of doing...!!
**Commentator Helianthus:** They're matching! Competitor Sedum's putting out all her strength and has caught up with Competitor Laurentia!!
**Commentator Showy Lily:** But she's slowing down rapidly! It's going to be tough to overtake!?
**Laurentia:** I see! The last hidden trick! Do you really want to say that you're the strongest, Sedum-san!
**Sedum:** I-it's nothing like that...! This costume makes it easier to run, but my lungs are about to give out and my legs are on fire...! There's no way I can beat a rival of Nasturtium-dono's...!
But... But if I lose here, so does my team! That doesn't change a thing...! For the sake of my friends, I'll change and win!
Booooooing!!
**Commentator Helianthus:** Competitor Sedum is leaping! She's trying to decide the game with instant acceleration!?
**Commentor Heliopsis:** She's covering for her lack of basic strength with a surprise attack! It's put Laurentia-sama one step behind.
**Commentator Showy Lily:** However... However this is...!!
**Laurentia:** ...! Haha, ahahaha! You were too desperate to win!
You've jumped too soon! You didn't reach the egg and have fallen! This is my win!!
**Nasturtium:** ... What about it? That face is the face of someone who hasn't given up yet.
**Sedum:** Reach it... Reach it... Reach reach reach reach...
**Spilanthes:** Sedum-san!!
**Sedum:** Reach it!!!!
Ada!
**Laurentia:** Ah!!?
**Balloon Vine:** Sedum-san's tripped over body is...
**Lamb's Ear:** Flying!?
**Commentator Helianthus:** Is this thanks to the chubby body she's always talking down about!? Or is it a blessing of her bunny outfit!? She's bounced off the ground and has jumped again! Her momentum can't be stopped!
**Commentator Showy Lily:** This form is exactly like a Bunny Flower Knight running through the air!! Bunny Sedum has gathered up the last Rabbit Egg!!
**Laurentia:** That's... This is...!!
**Spilanthes:** Go! Sedum-san!
**Nasturtium:** Win!!
**Sedum:** Reeeeeach iiiit!!!!

### Epilogue

After a fierce fight, the champions are “Invincible Super Spicy Star Bunnies”. The tournament was extremely exciting and Banana Ocean's Easter festival is a huge success. Also Sedum answers Nasturtium with half a smile when she asks “Has anything changed?”

**Lamb's Ear:** A-a a a comment from me...? Umm umm... I-it was fun!
**Balloon Vine:** Ahaha, that's right. It was so much fun that my heart was bouncing around all the time. If I get a chance, I'll enter again♪
**Laurentia:** The match against Nasturtium turned out like that, but well, the end result wasn't so bad. I'm grateful to receive this award plaque and take it back to Bergamot Valley.
**MC Morning Star Lily:** Thank you! A big round of applause for the runners up “Windy Valley Rabbits”!
Next... Is the winning team! Please welcome them with applause, everyone!
**Tournament Announcer Nazuna:** The most entertaining team with an ace that overwhelmed until the very end, and even an unexpected surprise ambush “Invincible Super Spicy Star Bunnies”, please!
**Sedum:** ...
**Nasturtium:** This is the best view. The view that the invincible me always sees.
Saying that, today is all thanks to you.
**Sedum:** No no no no, not me! That was just a tasty break at the end...
I've been relying completely on Nasturtium-dono and Spilanthes-dono since the very start. If you two weren't here, I would never have gotten here.
**Spilanthes:** Fufuu. Then it's a victory for all three of us!
**Nasturtium:** How is it? Does this view cause any kind of change in you?
**Sedum:** ... Let's see... Somehow, it's more rather that nothing is the same...
Anyway, I'm going to need to get used to everyone seeing my butt.
**Sponsor Helianthus:** A ha ha, what a flashy comment! Everyone! Competitor Sedum wants you to look at her butt!
**Sedum:** Eh!? Th-th-th-that's wrong!! What a time to listen in to our conversation!!
**Statice:** Sedum-san...
**Comet Orchid:** It looks like she's come out! Comet likes this kind of Sedum too!
**Sutera:** Would you like me to make your butt sparkle?
**Sedum:** How is it you guys come at this time...!? I'm happy for the congratulations, but--!
**Spilanthes:** Hey hey everyone! All this talk about her butt is troubling Sedum-san!
**Sedum:** Spilanthes-dono...
**Spilanthes:** Sedum-san also has a wonderful chest after all! Look! That valley! The bunny outfit is raising it's appeal, right!? It would be quite rude if you didn't look!
**Sedum:** --------!!
**Spilanthes:** Wait Sedum-san!? Where are you going!!
**Sponsor Agapanthus:** Ara ara, I haven't even handed over the award plaque yet...
**Sponsor Casablanca:** Anyway, please take it. The Strongest Bunny Flower Knights.
**Nasturtium:** I'm deeply honoured. I shall accept.
**Spilanthes:** Thank you! We'll also hand it over to Sedum-san right away!
Thank you Nasturtium-san! Not just for inviting me to join the tournament, but for carrying the team and giving me a great experience of winning!
**Nasturtium:** It was only natural with me here. You don't need to show me so much gratitude. Also, this victory is because of all your help too.
... Did you have fun, Spritas-san?
**Spilanthes:** Yeah! It was fun! There were some tough times, but they'll also make good memories!
**Nasturtium:** Is that right? That's a relief.
**Spilanthes:** But my name's still Spilanthes! You couldn't get my name right even at the very end.
... Huh? You managed to call out Laurentia-san's name properly that time...?
**Nasturtium:** Well, if you'll excuse me, boing.
**Spilanthes:** Ah, wait! Let's invite Danchou and have a victory celebration! A super spicy cooking assortment feast!
-*With that, the Strongest Bunny tournament came to an end. However, the Easter Festival in the country of festivals is still going on. Even after the sun goes down, beyond the night, beyond the next day, beyond the fields and over the mountains...?*
**Pure Child:** Wait, Bunny Sedum!
**Innocent Child:** She's leaping like in the tournament!
**Sedum:** Ah... I want to change quickly... I wasn't thinking...! N-now it's come to this...
Saying that, weren't you the ones who said “don't approach someone who talks to themselves...”!?
**Pure Child:** I don't remember♪
**Innocent Child:** We never said anything like that♪
**Sedum:** ... Kuu, kufu... Kufufufufu...♪ Ah, no good... My usual smile and laugh is...
**Pure Child:** Chase her!
**Innocent Child:** Got her!
**Sedum:** Ah, don't...! If you touch my arms or stomach like that...! Ah, ah... Aaaah...
–Booooooooooing!!
