Benedikt (AFL game)

"*An energetic adventurer. Loves to spend his time going to the mines.*"
– In-Game Profile

**Benedikt**, more commonly known in anime as **Benedikt Schöne** (ベネディクト・ショーヌ *Benedikuto Shōnu*), is a character in both Story of World II: Flowers Bloom with You (game) and its remake Story of World II: A Flowery Life (game). In *A Flowery Life* game, he is one of available bachelors to court.

Benedikt is an enthusiastic and cheerful adventurer who loves hand-gliding. He has a "cool" way of talking and loves adventures and making accomplishments. Despite his personality, he is truly a sweet and caring kid with good intentions.

Whilst he may come across to some as self-centered, he is extroverted and embraces friendship and life without hesitation.

The rival for Benedikt's love is Melanie, who will stop the main female character if one is planning to marry him. Because neither Benedikt nor Melanie need any requirements before the player can meet them, the player can start to work on this pairing right away.

## **Schedule**

Before he is married, Benedikt stays at Donau Apartment. Since he is a traveler, he doesn't have a house in town. He spends most of his time at Leaf Mines, mostly the fifth floor of the Upper Mine. On Sundays, he takes a break from adventuring and spends his time at the Donau Apartment and exploring Gruenefeld Park.

If the player marries Benedikt, he will move in to the player's house. He will continue to spend much of his time at Leaf Mines, but prefers the tenth floor of Lower Mine. He goes to the mines everyday, but he will walk around your house yard on Sundays.

If Benedikt marries Melanie, he will move his belongings to the Mansion. Instead of going to the mines everyday, he spends his day walking around Rosenburg. On Mondays, he hangs out at Primavera Lake District.

If the weather is bad, Benedikt will stay home regardless he is single or married. Plus once he is married, regardless to whom, his room in apartment will be gift to the owner of travel agency at Mall of Bayern 3rd floor.

Even though Melanie is worried about what might happen if she gets married, she accepts Benedikt's proposal.

## **Romance Marriage**

One week after 4-Romance Event, Benedikt and Melanie will have their wedding ceremony. The Player will get a letter in their mailbox (regardless of which gender you are playing as) from Benedikt and Melanie asking if the Player will attend their wedding. The date will be written on invitation, as well as time. Wedding ceremonies are always at 10:00.

On the scheduled wedding date, walk into Primrose Private Academy school grounds to see Benedikt and Melanie's wedding. It is very similar to the Player's wedding. Most townspeople will be attending. All the Player does is sit back and watch as a guest of their wedding. After the event is over, players will be transported inside their House.

When the player enters Melanie's bedroom it looks like Melanie feels unwell. Benedikt and Melanie as well as the player will be automatically transported to Rio General Clinic. Diego will help deliver their child, and asks that the player wait outside. Finally they have a healthy baby girl named Henrietta.

Henrietta will only appear in game if Benedikt and Melanie already got married.
