### Sakura Scuttlebutt

In the inner sanctum of the yakuza group Seimeikai, Sakura is watching a video on her tablet, where a man and a woman profess their love and kiss beneath a sakura tree, brought from the surface and said to ensure the love of those who kiss beneath it lasts forever.

Sakura marvels at how a spectacle like this is becoming the centerpiece for the Cherry Blossom Festival being held, with one of her subordinates noting that this is the first time ever that a sakura tree from the surface is being unveiled to the public. As Sakura ponders over this tree and its urban legend, a voice hollers to her.

It's yet another person who's come to hound Sakura about the line of succession for Seimeikai. She's none too happy to revisit this topic *yet again*, and it seems the pestering is only getting more frequent. She dismisses her subordinate's suggestion to send them away, and sees to this visitor herself, ordering them to shut up and tell the Peony Association and Hedonia that Seimeikai will oversee this year's Cherry Blossom Festival. As an afterthought, she adds that will finally find herself a husband.

### A Flora Invitation

At the Outpost, Sakura bluntly asks the protagonist to become her husband, a proposition that takes the man by surprise. Seeing him uncertain of the circumstances, Sakura elaborates this would be a one-day arrangement, and proceeds to explain her situation.

As the leader of Seimeikai, Sakura is expected to get married and produce an heir who would inherit Seimeikai if/when she dies or steps down. Unfortunately, Nikkes cannot produce children, and while Sakura can understand the worries of those pressuring her to ensure the group's future, she tires of them constantly pestering her, and is of no inclination to rectify their misunderstandings, since that would require revealing herself as a Nikke. Thus, the simplest(?) solution is to have a trusted person in the know (a.k.a. the protagonist) stand in as her husband to buy her some time, especially with the upcoming festival.

Seeing the protagonist's confusion, Sakura shows him a video and explains this year's Cherry Blossom Festival will feature a sakura tree that originally grew on the surface. An urban legend has been making the rounds that a man and woman who kiss under that tree will know love everlasting.

Sakura's plan is to take the protagonist to the festival as her (fake) husband and use the urban legend to silence those pestering her to find a consort. While both parties can see how this would only benefit one, the protagonist agrees to help. Sakura is all too pleased with this development, stating the man will have to cast aside all other girls for the day and only have eyes for her. After a brief discourse on what Sakura would've done if the protagonist *hadn't* agreed, the two step out to the festival.

At the festival venue, the protagonist and Sakura navigate the crowds, the latter's Seimeikai bodyguards glowering their way all the while. Despite some reservations from both "husband" and "wife", neither is willing to voice them, and move to carry on until a voice calls out to the protagonist...

It's none other than Yuni and Mihara of Wardress, who bound over to see him. The bodyguards are none too happy to see their boss' "husband" seemingly flirting with other girls, but stay their hand as the protagonist tells the two he's with Sakura for the festival. Mihara notes the festival being more eventful than expected, and lays her hands on the protagonist while asking to join him. Seeing the bodyguards muttering and looking ready for murder, the protagonist politely declines. Mihara laughs it off as a tease on her part, and sees in Sakura's reaction a lot of reasons to cease and desist.

Besides, the two Wardress Nikkes are finding it overly crowded and noisy, what with everyone fighting and people asking the two for money. Neither of them know who the solicitors were, citing that perhaps Sakura might know such...unsavory fellows better. Sakura neither confirms nor denies whether she knows of such shady characters, and Wardress bids farewell.

The protagonist sighs as Wardress departs, Sakura wondering if perhaps the man has come to regret accepting this arrangement. Just as the protagonist is about to answer, another voice suddenly interjects. Moran, leader of the Peony Association, declares her objection to the marriage.

### Speak Now, or Forever Hold Your Peace

Disregarding that earlier outburst, Sakura is confused by the presence of her fellow Underworld Queen. Moran declares that her Peony Association is overseeing this "Spring Festival". Sakura reminds her that this is the "*Cherry Blossom Festival*" that will be overseen by Seimeikai, the protagonist gesturing to all the sakura trees in the area. As Moran apologizes for her mistake, the protagonist questions what is meant by "taking charge of the festival."

Turns out that every festival, Underworld Queen hashes out the details to see who will be in charge of what festival, and deal with any trouble. Big events like these bring in huge crowds, and oftentimes those crowds are mixed with ne'er-do-wells who're trying to make a name for themselves in the criminal underworld. Sakura and her Seimeikai volunteered since the festival would also be used to handle the former's marriage dilemma, but it seems Moran didn't get the memo and came out herself, causing the exact conflict that Underworld Queen wanted to avoid with this arrangement.

Moran is quick to brush off their earlier argument and focus on the the marriage talks, outraged that Sakura and "Cadet" would get married and not even tell her. The protagonist is confused how it's possible he's marrying Sakura now, but the latter simply sighs at how prolific the rumor mill has gotten in such a short time. Moran continues her rant, questioning the protagonist's "loyalty" for not telling her about his impending marriage, even after the two of them swore oaths and exchanged cups. Sakura dumbs this tirade down to Moran insisting the two not get married without her approval, a proposition that she calls out for the superfluity it is. As the two continue to bicker, another person voices her disbelief at this situation; Noise, the pop star of Prima Donna, has just heard her "Producer" is getting married...

Noise cannot believe what she's hearing, chalking it up to her recent stresses. Hearing the protagonist affirm his (fake) marriage, Noise goes on a bit of a rant about how some weirdos stopped her from performing even though she was invited for a concert, and *now* her precious Producer is getting married out of the blue. As Noise and Moran commiserate over how terrible this day is, Sakura sighs at how this whole thing is getting increasingly out of hand, but notes these obstacles to their "marriage" only prove how valued the protagonist is.

Sakura calls to the Seimeikai members lurking in the area, and has them waylay Moran and Noise while she carries along with the protagonist. The latter is concerned about the extremity of these measures, but Sakura reminds him that for the duration of their arrangement, he is hers and hers alone. The two go on their way as Moran asserts she'll be back.

### Floral Fracas

After that earlier fiasco, the protagonist asks Sakura why she went so far to convince Moran the marriage was real. The answer is that Moran is an open book, so if she were to know the truth to their arrangement, anyone else in the organization would know just by looking at the woman's face. Concluding this explanation, Sakura apologizes for causing the protagonist so much trouble, assuring him that after this, she will see that everything is put back the way it was, despite the protagonist denying such and trying to voice his thoughts through Sakura's continued monologues. This goes on for a time until a voice asks someone else for money.

The shout turns out to have come from a man gaudily soliciting a tourist for money, threatening her when she tries to call A.C.P.U. Sakura steps in to try and defuse the situation, only for the man to try and solicit an "admission fee" to see the special sakura tree. He summons some cronies to try and intimidate the "couple", claiming the space around the tree belongs to "Liberty". Sakura cites some of the rules that the criminal underworld follows, including one where the gangs *do not* claim "turf" anywhere but the Outer Rim. Sakura is intrigued by the man's claim that his gang doesn't bow to Underworld Queen or anyone else, implying he knows the rules but still breaks them. She calls some of her own men to...loosen the man's lips. A one-sided beatdown later, and the man is more than happy to talk. Sakura grills the man on who his superior is, hideout locations, everything.

Some time later, Moran has caught up to Sakura and the protagonist, having shaken off Seimeikai's men. Seeing the Peony Association boss continue to be daft, Sakura elaborates she's dealing with some fellows who are flaunting the rules. Moran can only reply "yikes" at this gang trying to claim turf inside the Ark. The name "Liberty" is unfamiliar to either of them, likely a new player trying to get into the big leagues. At the protagonist's questions about "rules", Sakura elaborates for him.

As with the Ark, the criminal underworld operates by its own set of rules to ensure some semblance of stability. Underworld Queen has sworn by these rules and works to uphold them, so anyone who tries to break the rules needs to be struck down hard. Sakura tells Moran to watch the festival while she looks into this and tries to settle it before A.C.P.U. gets involved, asking the protagonist to stay by Moran for protection. The protagonist insists on going with Sakura, ignoring her and Moran's protests that this is dangerous gang business. Reminded of their marriage-for-a-day arrangement, Sakura relents while Moran ponders over what she just heard, shouting questions at the departing couple about their marriage.

### Floral Oath

Sakura notes the questioning look on the protagonist's face, and invites him to ask what's on his mind while her men are digging up info on Liberty. The protagonist is curious about the "oath" Underworld Queen took, and while Sakura seems a bit taken aback, she decides to tell him.

Underworld Queen is a squad made to keep the criminal underworld of the Outer Rim and the Ark in check, sort of like Missilis' Exotic squad. Sakura runs the Seimeikai, a yakuza group that has existed since the Ark's founding. Moran runs the Peony Association, a small but powerful group who call themselves "Templars". Rosanna runs Hedonia, a rising star in the criminal sphere.

Some of Underworld Queen's members were already deep in criminal dealings before becoming Nikkes, others only dipped their feet in after the fact. The main commonality of UQ's members is that they all agreed to become Nikkes upon death, the "oath" they undertook when they agreed to help "him" regulate, if not banish the darkness in the Ark. By "him", Sakura is referring to Mustang, Tetra Line CEO. Fun fact, Mustang was CEO of the company since the *founding of the Big Three*, and has held that throne uncontested since. After getting over the fact that Mustang has been CEO of Tetra for practically forever, the protagonist then asks the contents of UQ's oath. Sakura elaborates that oath was to combat the darkness, even whilst acknowledging its persistence in humanity.

Sakura has a flashback to when Underworld Queen first swore that oath. Initially, the three were less than amenable to Mustang's proposal, believing that forcefully taking hold of the Outer Rim would make them no better than Exotic. At Mustang's denial of such an idea, Sakura asks the man just *what* he wants exactly, and why it has to be the three of them. Mustang's response? "Only those who have known darkness will not fall victim to its temptations." He elaborates that all of UQ sees the Outlaws of the Outer Rim as humans, an admirable opinion that they affirm, but which runs contrary to the majority consensus of the citizens. To Mustang, anyone living the cushy life of a citizen would never understand the darkness that plagues the Outer Rim and humanity, and so would succumb to its depraved whispers.

That is why the CEO wants Underworld Queen to take over the criminal underworld. They alone have seen what it's like on both sides of the pond, and have known what the darkness is like. Sakura is suspicious of such altruistic intentions towards the Outer Rim, to which Mustang is all too happy to deny. For him, it's not a matter of sympathy towards outlaws, or even a love of humanity. This is a plan to restore peace to the Ark, pure and simple. From days gone by to now, the gap and subsequent enmity between the haves and the have-nots has only grown. Should this conflict, nay, this war escalate any further than it already has, the Ark will surely buckle under the weight of its own hatred. Thus, Mustang has chosen a select few to become mankind's guardians in the darkness, who yet hold love for humanity. All part of his ideal to have humanity band together, and prove that his "Goddesses" did not brave the battlefield in vain.

Rosanna ponders such thinking, wondering why he doesn't simply leash UQ like Missilis does Exotic. Mustang gives her a hard "no", believing a Queen is to be crowned, not collared. At Rosanna's implication that the squad might overdo it or even turn on Mustang, the man is almost disturbingly excited at the prospect, inviting them to take a shot at him if they can. As Rosanna silently backs down, Mustang has one last thing to assert.

No matter what they do, what circumstance they find themselves in, Underworld Queen must **never** break their oath. If they so much as put one toe over that line, for any reason, Mustang assures them there will be hell to pay. The CEO calls it a consequence of coronating them as Queens rather than leashing them as dogs, and tells them to leave if they disagree.

Moran is the first to voice her assent, believing this will prove anyone can become a Templar with enough effort, no matter where they hail from. Sakura is next, having long since held similar goals to Mustang. Rosanna is quite happy to join, being the only one without a gang of her own before, and eager to be crowned Queen. Mustang is delighted at this unanimous decision, and declares their agreement shall be dubbed "the Floral Oath."

Her story over, Sakura asks the protagonist if this answer satisfies him, which it does. Sakura's story ended serendipitously, as one of Seimeikai's men reports they've tracked down Liberty's hideout, and she moves to settle this matter once and for all.

### Crackdown

The protagonist follows Sakura into an alleyway, where a rotund Outlaw is shocked that Seimeikai is knocking on his door. As Sakura interrogates the man for information about Liberty's activities, he pulls out a gun and levels it at her. The bullet whizzes by her head as the man threatens to actually shoot her. Exasperated, Sakura asks if Liberty is familiar with the rules that the underworld abides by. The man had heard them, but decided to disregard them on grounds that the rules benefit Underworld Queen and no one else. Having found the culprits, Sakura warns that Seimeikai is not merciful to deliberate rulebreakers, and both sides order their men to attack.

When the dust and gunfire settle, Seimeikai comes out on top. Sakura finds a silver lining in that Liberty has no connections to Heavenly Ascension, meaning there's no risk this will escalate. Grounded, Liberty's leader bemoans not taking HA's aid offer, which would've given them an edge over "hypocrites" like Seimeikai. At Sakura's "invitation", the man rants about how Underworld Queen is as much of a boot on their necks as the Central Government, keeping them down so that the Ark can keep its squeaky clean image to the citizens.

Sakura admits this is the case, reasoning it as fighting fire with fire, so the citizenry will not seek to have them wiped out entirely by witch hunts and mobs. The Outlaw doesn't see it that way, ranting about the citizens cavorting about a festival while Liberty is left to scrounge for the barest minimum in the dark. Sakura derides the man's self-importance, questioning what benefit would be wrought from thumbing his nose at the Central Government by ruining a festival for the common folk. She bluntly tells him that all that would bring is a meaningless death by A.C.P.U., who couldn't care less if Outlaws live or die.

Sakura twists the knife even deeper, telling the Outlaw that by raising violence against the people, his gang has distorted their original goal of speaking out for their fellow Outlaw. It will beget an endless cycle of the perpetrator, the victim turned avenger, who perpetrates and creates victims in turn. It is a cycle that Sakura will see broken, no matter who started what or who's wronging who. In response to the Outlaw's question of what this will change, Sakura sighs and declares that Liberty will be absorbed into Seimeikai. Ignoring the Outlaw's sputters, Sakura has her subordinates carry off the man and the surviving Liberties to clean up and learn the ropes of being Seimeikai.

The protagonist ponders if this was Sakura's plan from the start, to which she confirms such, on grounds that neglecting those who've been victimized will lead to those same people coming back, bigger and more vengeful than before. She agrees with the Liberty leader's words of how they lead a miserable existence, and so offered them an alternative to scuttling in the shadows. Of course, this *does* mean Seimeikai's membership will swell with each festival, and since Sakura has been doing this for a while, the protagonist remarks how exhausting it must be to look after so many people under her. Sakura denies that any of this is a burden to her, claiming even if it were, she'd never be able to show it to any of her subordinates.

This is also why Sakura wanted the protagonist to fake being her husband. The uncertainty over the line of succession, however small it seemed, would have rippled through the ranks and fomented further instability. Sakura ponders if the protagonist is feeling burdened himself, having to pretend to be her husband-to-be. Should he find such a thing too cumbersome, she promises to take him back to the Outer Rim to rendezvous with his squad. This promise take the protagonist by surprise, but Sakura considers it an apology for this one-sided arrangement, noting that the man wasn't even allowed to enjoy the festival.

Mulling over the out he's been offered, the protagonist thinks back on Sakura's previous words, and chooses to remain her (fake) husband. Touched, Sakura invites the protagonist to return to the festival, assuring him that she has a plan to deal with Moran. She whips out her phone to contact the Peony Association leader, who's *still* not willing to let the marriage thing slide, and tells her to meet them at the festival. Sakura assuages the protagonist's concern about Moran, noting that perhaps handling this matter head-on should've been Plan A, much to his confusion...

### Flower Show

Having returned to the festival, the protagonist and Sakura set a picnic blanket on the ground, and after the former praises the quality of the food, Moran butts in commenting that Seimeikai makes the best stuff. The (fake?) couple stare at Maran as the latter cuts to the chase, having found out this whole engagement business was a masquerade. Whilst the Peony Association leader insists she'll keep her lips sealed, Sakura pulls out a bottle of alcohol. It's a special peach-flavored spirit made solely for Moran, who accepts with gusto. In a somewhat pushy fashion, Sakura insists that Moran finish the whole bottle, as it's specially-made for her.

Enough time has passed for evening to fall, and Moran is practically three sheets to the wind. Sakura ignores Moran's muttering to pour her out more liquor, even gaslighting her into drinking more. The protagonist deduces that this was Sakura's plan all along, which was to simply get Moran too drunk to cause trouble. As the Peony Association's leader finally falls flat on her back, Sakura and the protagonist head to the special sakura tree.

### Like a Flower in Full Bloom

The festival revelry is a distant echo as the fake(?) couple treads along a path of petals, their only accompaniment the thudding of the bodyguards' footsteps. The two come to a stop as the sakura from the surface looms in the distance. Its blooms make the colossal size of the tree even more distinct. Sakura orders the group to stop, then tells her bodyguard to allow her and the protagonist alone to get close to the tree. The escorts agree, and the two carry on.

The tree is truly massive, and the protagonist's nerves are all too perceptible to Sakura. But one question from the protagonist, and the Seimeikai leader admits she too is a little nervous, even though this is far from the first time the two of them have been alone together. The protagonist holds out his hand, and Sakura takes it, walking hand-in-hand with him to the base of the tree.

The couple gazes upon the tree's canopy, the blooms a veritable sea of pink petals. As the two gaze upon the tree, Sakura reaches a hand for its trunk, asking the protagonist if he knows this tree's alternate name. The tree is known as "Everlasting Sakura", a species specially modified to bloom and persist even beyond the usual sakura season. It's the only way a tree as ephemerally-blooming as the sakura could last for such a long time in the Ark, where the sun does not truly shine. Sakura wished to see this tree, for its beauty, for the name they both share, and the quality they share of lasting even beyond their nature-ordained end. She wanted to know, with her own eyes, if the tree remained beautiful even after becoming everlasting.

It's a statement that makes the protagonist question if Sakura regrets becoming a Nikke, an eternal, unchanging existence. She denies such, proclaiming the eternity given to her was the best reward she could've asked for, as it allows her to protect Seimeikai while also upholding her oath. But that leaves the protagonist wondering what Sakura will do once she is no longer the head of Seimeikai, a question she herself has not considered beyond either fighting on the surface or melding into the Ark's populace, shadows and all. She categorically refuses to consider leading Seimeikai indefinitely, espousing that even eternally beautiful blossoms must fall before they become rotten and poison the tree they cling to. To Sakura, Seimeikai is her tree, and she will *not* become a parasite to it.

As Sakura laments how she is a false flower in bloom, the protagonist rebuts her, calling her "a gorgeous blossom blooming on the tree [she's] helped grow." As Sakura takes the compliment with as much stride as she can muster, she decides to get to the crux of this affair. A kiss under the tree, invoking the legend of making their love as eternal as the Everlasting Sakura. The protagonist has his doubts about going so far for a fabricated oath, but Sakura shuts him down, declaring not once in her life has she ever uttered a falsehood when it comes to oaths. Seeing the apprehension on her partner's face, Sakura offers the protagonist another out, a chance to back down before things get too serious. The protagonist again refuses, bearing a true desire to be with Sakura.

Amidst the fluttering petals, Sakura is both touched and troubled. Touched by the protagonist's commitment, and troubled by the brevity of their arrangement together. Despite how much Sakura wants to keep the protagonist by her side forever, she refrains from attempting such, given the sheer breadth of others who pine for his hand and would undoubtedly fight her over it.

Stepping closer to her (fake?) beloved, Sakura asks the protagonist to seal their oath before the day ends. He obliges, and the two kiss under a snowfall of petals.

### Hard Mode Epilogue - Truth to the Rumors

Some time after the festival, Moran and Noise are in the protagonist's room, having been told his marriage to Sakura was a masquerade. Moran is relieved that the rumors had no substance, but also annoyed the two went so far as to get her drunk to keep it secret. The protagonist asserts that the Peony Association leader would've spilled the beans to anyone with her open-book demeanor, an accusation that she doesn't take kindly.

Off to the side, Noise remarks that even if Moran didn't say a word, her face would give it all away. But more than the length of deceiving Moran, Noise is more concerned with how the protagonist managed to fake a kiss with Sakura, noting that from the distance most were viewing the scene, it'd be easy for the couple to just lean in and pretend to kiss. The protagonist's silence is answer enough, the Prima Donna Nikke becoming increasingly agitated as she realizes her Producer actually kissed another girl.

Pouring further oil on this fire of a conversation is Sakura, who enters the room and affirms that she did indeed kiss the protagonist beneath the Everlasting Sakura. The two round on the protagonist for actually kissing the Seimeikai leader, knowing how seriously the latter takes oaths. While Sakura asserts her claim on the protagonist, the man in question ponders why Sakura seems to be backtracking her words to not start anything with the other bachelorettes. Sakura chortles at such a notion, claiming she is only stating the facts.

Moran and Noise close in on the protagonist, grilling him for details on his little dalliance with Sakura. The Nikke in question offers the protagonist a lifeline, asking if he'd like to stick around or see the cherry blossoms with her. Wordlessly, the protagonist grabs Sakura's hand, and at her command, a group of Seimeikai bodyguards hold Moran and Noise back while the couple beats a hasty exit.

## Trivia

* The "Cherry Blossom Rice Ball" used to play event stages is actually a form of Japanese confectionary known as sakuramochi
