**Title**: The Four Witch Sisters

## Chapter 1

**Chapter Title**: It's Tough Being the Witches' Youngest Sister

**Synopsis**: The four Tulip sisters run a clinic in Lilywood. There is gossip that "They are four witch sisters" because of their slightly odd personalities, which is a point of great concern for the youngest, White Tulip. In order to somehow boost the reputation of the clinic, she's going to work her hardest again today...!

**Young Girl's Mother:** Thank you, doctor.
**White Tulip:** Take care!
Fuu... All the appointments are done for today.
Seriously, where have my sisters wandered off to? Just as useless as always...
... This happened before. They were hiding something ridiculous that time. What's the point in hiding the fact that you became a Flower Knight anyway...
But compared to that time, I can't help but feel that I'm being relied upon... Maybe?
Hah! No no no! It's not just the clinic that has been messed around with since that time!
Grr, do your jobs seriously... Even the patients that go to great lengths to come to us might end up leaving us...
Haa... If only they'd settle down...!
**Glory of the Sun:** Fumu, you seem pretty tired. How about a massage later?
**White Tulip:** Eh, wa-wawaa!? Gl-Glory of the Sun-san! When did you...?
**Heavenly Bamboo:** We called out to you many times. You were dealing with a lot of things, so we just let ourselves in.
**Elder Flower:** Hello White Tulip-chan!
**White Tulip:** Heavenly Bamboo-san and Elder Flower-san too...! E-excuse me, I was thinking about a lot of things...
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Mostly about those other three?
**White Tulip:** Y-yes, exactly. My sisters definitely are skilled, but they have bad habits.
**Elder Flower:** Yeah, I think Yellow Tulip-san's medicine is really great!
But it's not very good to go straight to using people as test subjects though...
**White Tulip:** Uuu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... But I've managed to stop her testing medicines with side effects on people.
**Heavenly Bamboo:** But there have been points until now that she's tested them.
**White Tulip:** Ouuu...
**Glory of the Sun:** Well well. The Tulip clinic has had a good reputation recently though.
**White Tulip:** Do you think so...? When you compare it to the time when the story was “If you go to the witch's clinic, your mind will be read, you'll be made to take strange medicines, then you'll get tied to a bed and drained of all your energy”, it has certainly gotten better.
**Elder Flower:** When you put it like that...
**Glory of the Sun:** Did you not know because you've been living in the mountains for so long Elder Flower? Well... There are a lot of other things that have been said.
**Elder Flower:** To the level of comments of Glory-san's...!?
**Glory of the Sun:** Ahaha... No matter what, the current clinic is all thanks to White Tulip-chan's efforts. Amazing work.
**White Tulip:** Thank you. Uuu, how kind... It would be better if Glory of the Sun-san was my sister...
I need to work harder. When my sisters are away and it's quiet like today, I can do a lot of medical studying...
**Glory of the Sun:** Huh, are your sisters not here?
**White Tulip:** Ah, no. They said “We leave things to you” and disappeared off somewhere this morning.
Seriously, don't they think it causes problems to wait till morning to tell me that! They really are so selfish...
Ah, I'm sorry. Could it be that you have some need of my sisters?
**Glory of the Sun:** Yeah, Elder Flower does. I'm tagging along.
**Heavenly Bamboo:** I have red... Some business with Red Tulip, but if she's not here, then it doesn't matter. It's not urgent, so it's fine.
**Elder Flower:** I have a request for Yellow Tulip-san.
I actually wanted to ask her if she would share her stock of this medicine with me. I used to pick a lot of it in the countryside, but I can't seem to find it any more...
**White Tulip:** Aah, this medicine's... Please wait a moment.
It's definitely one that doesn't often grow around this area. But Yellow-neesan said that she had found a colony of them earlier.
**Elder Flower:** Eh, really!? I've been looking around for them, if only I'd known there was a colony.
**White Tulip:** When it comes to medicine, Yellow-neesan does her best. Her tenacity isn't something you can easily copy.
**Elder Flower:** ... Fufu, I see.
**White Tulip:** ?? What's the matter?
**Elder Flower:** Nnn-nn, nothing!
**White Tulip:** Really...?
Huh, it looks like we're all out of that medicine too. Grr, I always tell her to let me know when we run low on stock...!
**Elder Flower:** Arya arya. That's a problem. I need to prescribe it to a patient I currently have...
**White Tulip:** I'm sorry for the inconvenience...
**Heavenly Bamboo:** No, you have nothing to apologise for.
**Glory of the Sun:** But what should we do? Did you hear from Yellow Tulip-san where this colony you were talking about is?
**White Tulip:** Ah, that's right! She couldn't be bothered to tell me where it was, but she wrote it down on a note the other day.
Her notepad should be......... Here!
**Elder Flower:** That's a relief! So where is it...?
**White Tulip:** ......... Umm, this is...
**Heavenly Bamboo:** It looks like a code that's going to take a lot of effort...
**Elder Flower:** I can understand a little of it, and it looks like it's deep into the forest.
**White Tulip:** Yeah......
I'm sorry, it looks like it's going to take some time, so I'll go to the colony and pick them! I have no more appointments for today, so it should be fine to close up...
**Elder Flower:** If that's the case, I'll come with you! It is my request after all.
**White Tulip:** Are you sure? Thank you...!
**Glory of the Sun:** I'll go too. We're only gathering herbs, but it's safer to have more people if you go deep into the forest.
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Well, I've already boarded the ship. It also helps to have more heads to decipher the code.
**White Tulip:** E-everyone... Thank you! Uu, if only I had sisters like these...!
**Elder Flower:** Ahaha, well let's get going!
**White Tulip:** Yes! Thank you for your help!

**Heavenly Bamboo:** That's a rather unique way of speaking. What does “spin around heart rock” mean? Does that mean that there's a heart shaped rock somewhere around here?
**Glory of the Sun:** There's a little arrow pointing anti-clockwise next to “spin”. So we should keep the rock on our left?
**Elder Flower:** Ooh, I see! So what are these three wiggly lines over here?
**White Tulip:** Looking at the location, it might indicate a river.
Grr, there's no point in writing notes as complicated as there, Yellow-neesan...
If we had Purple-neesan, then we could decipher this much quicker...
**Elder Flower:** Purple Tulip-san is a psychologist, right? So she would specialise in deciphering?
**White Tulip:** Rather than deciphering the code, she's very good at understanding a person's thought patterns and deducing the intentions of their writing.
When it comes to someone's heart and thoughts, Purple-neesan is an expert. There have been many people who have been saved by my sister.
I just need to do something about her weird behaviours... Because of them, she is seen as a witch, and even makes small children cry.
**Elder Flower:** ... Houhou, funfun?
**White Tulip:** Wh-what is it? What was that smile just now?
**Elder Flower:** Nn-nnn, it's nothing! Hey, let's get moving!

**Heavenly Bamboo:** What's wrong...? Ara, the letters are all blurred.
**Glory of the Sun:** Did she spill water or something on it?
**White Tulip:** No, this is probably... It's probably from when Red-neesan got her to drink the other day...
**Glory of the Sun:** A-aah...
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Got her to drink? That girl's a terrible influence.
I'd like for Red Tulip to be a little more ladylike in her words and actions.
Because of her, there a lot of wacky doctors following her habits in Lilywood... Is what I've been told.
**White Tulip:** I have no words...
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Aah, no... There's nothing you could say. I'm sorry.
Let's keep working together to improve the standing of Lilywood's doctors.
**White Tulip:** Y-yes! Of course!
**Elder Flower:** Are there more strange things being said? I haven't heard anything in the village deep in the mountains where I stay.
**Glory of the Sun:** They do. In the city, it's... You hear those stories sometimes.
Well, you always hear about the things you're interested in.
**Heavenly Bamboo:** So... What should we do? We don't know which way to go next right now.
**White Tulip:** You're right... I think the colony is probably nearby, but I really don't know the final part...
**Elder Flower:** ... Ah! I just remembered that those herbs tend to grow well near rivers! It prefers damp soil.
**White Tulip:** I see... Then let's start walking towards the river! I can hear the sound of water over there, so we're not too far off.

**Elder Flower:** Wa, you're right! This must be the place where they grow.
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Good grief, we lost a lot of time deciphering that code she calls a note, but we finally managed to get here.
**Glory of the Sun:** Let's pick what we need and get back quickly. It'll be dangerous if we stay too long.
**White Tulip:** Yes, let's do that...
... Huh? There's a page I missed because it was stuck together... There's something written here.
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Ara, that's true. It got stuck together because of the alcohol, honestly...
“*If you run out of stock on the clinic shelf, there's more in a box in the basement♪”*
**White Tulip:** ........................ Eh?
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!!?
B-but, sister, didn't you tell me that you didn't put it down there... Eeeh!?
**Glory of the Sun:** I get the feeling she put it there not too long ago...
**Elder Flower:** Ummm, Then in other words...
**Heavenly Bamboo:** We already had stock, so didn't need to come here...
**White Tulip:** N-no way...? Even after everyone came all this way to help out...!
At least... At least put something like that on the front page...!!
Aaah grr, my sisters are idiots!!!!
**Red Tulip:** Aaaaaaachoo!!!!
**Purple Tulip:** What a splendid sneeze.
**Yellow Tulip:** What what!? A cold!? Did you catch a cold!? I have the perfect experimental medicine right here, why not try it!?
**Purple Tulip:** It's not very good advertising for a doctor to catch cold.
**Red Tulip:** Wait? Aren't you speaking freely a little too much??
It's not like I've caught a cold. I'm still the eldest sister of the Tulip clinic, no matter how bad I am.
Also... I'm too busy to be unhealthy right now. Especially as we got called out so suddenly today.
**Purple Tulip:** We left everything to White Tulip, I wonder if she's alright...?
**Yellow Tulip:** That girl has her act together, so she'll be fine.
Ah, but I forgot to tell her. About those herbs.
I didn't want to store it in the basement, because it doesn't have a long shelf life, but you know the that pharmacist we met at a conference the other day?
**Purple Tulip:** Aah, the one who spoke about new long term storage technologies...
**Yellow Tulip:** Yeah! Thanks to what they told me, I decided to put those herbs in the basement!
So I needed to tell her that if she ran out of stock on the shelf, then she should look down in the basement... Well, I made a note of it, so I'm sure she knows.
**Red Tulip:** Doctors are so busy that we can't even have some simple sister-sister skin to skin time.
**Purple Tulip:** I don't think that's something someone who suddenly closed up and forced everyone to drink should say.
... Hey, sisters. Do you really plan to not tell White Tulip yet?
**Red Tulip:** ... Yes. It's too complicated to tell her at the moment. It would just burden her.
I want her to put her skills to use on site when the time comes. So let's finish this annoying “talk with your superiors” thing quickly.
**Purple Tulip:** ... I agree with that thought. But I would never have said it.
**Medical Representative:** Red Tulip-san, Yellow Tulip-san! Is now a good time?
**Red Tulip:** Yes yes, we're on our way.
**Yellow Tulip:** We'll be back. You can eat without us.
**Purple Tulip:** ... Yes, take care.
... If we don't tell her what we're thinking, it's just going to make things even more complicated.

## Chapter 2

**Chapter Title**: Misunderstood Feelings

**Synopsis**: White Tulip is busy every day with her work as both a Flower Knight and at the clinic. She laments the fact that her sisters just come and go as they please without even discussing anything with her... Which means she has to work even harder to improve her own self for the good of the clinic. One day, White Tulip hears a "certain rumour" about her sisters from her fellow Flower Knights...

**White Tulip:** So that's the shopping finished, so... When I get home, I'll need to reorganise the shelves at the clinic.
I moved that medicinal herb to the usual shelf...
Haa, then that must mean that Yellow Tulip-neesan has...

–*Flashback–*
**Yellow Tulip:** Aah, I know it's my bad that I didn't tell you, but I never would have thought that particular herb would need to be pinpointed.
... Got it, I understand! Don't look so mad.
I'll take more care next time, OK! I'm really sorry.

–*Flashback End–*
**White Tulip:** ... That's what she said, but then she just left the clinic without saying anything. At least leave me a memo or something!
Are you really that busy that you don't even have the time to leave a memo...? Red-neesan and Purple-neesan too.........
... Well, whatever! Anyway, time to go home and reorganise the shelves, I'll reorganise then...
**Amur Adonis:** Oya, White Tulip-chan! What a coincidence, meeting you in the marketplace!
**White Tulip:** Hello Amur Adonis-san!
So you've come to Lilywood. Are you visiting Heavenly Bamboo-san?
**Amur Adonis:** That's right. I got a little hurt on my last mission.
I'm already all better and it doesn't hurt any more, but Heavenly Bamboo-chan wanted to check up on me, so I'm keeping in constant contact with her.
**White Tulip:** Even if the person thinks they are all better, there might still be some unexpected side effects. Please follow your doctor's advice properly.
**Amur Adonis:** Uu... It's just as you say, White Tulip-chan. You really are a doctor.
**White Tulip:** Fufu, please let Heavenly Bamboo-san take a good look.
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Yes, let me take a proper look.
**Amur Adonis:** Wawaa, Heavenly Bamboo!
**White Tulip:** Heavenly Bamboo-san!
**Amur Adonis:** Why are you here? Didn't you say there was some kind of meeting of medical associates?
**Heavenly Bamboo:** We're taking a break at the moment. I'm tired of constantly being in serious talks. So I came here to buy everyone some drinks.
**White Tulip:** There's a medical associates meeting? I'm sorry! I never heard anything about that...!
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Aah, it's not a formal meeting or anything. I've just been having some talks with some people.
**Amur Adonis:** Saying that, didn't you say Red Tulip-san and the others were with you?
**White Tulip:** Eh, my sisters!?
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Yes.
**Amur Adonis:** Your big sisters have been really amazing recently! I've heard that they've been working in all sorts of places.
**White Tulip:** W-working...?
**Amir Adonis:** They've been attending medical meetings and other talks in all sorts of countries outside Lilywood, right?
**White Tulip:** ... I don't know. They've never said anything...
**Heavenly Bamboo:** ............
... The world situation has been changing a lot recently. The restoration of Kodaibana, and proceeding into the Outside World... Because of that, they're going to be recruiting a lot more medical staff than what they have now.
In addition, they will need smooth cooperation between medical institutes between the countries, preparations for expeditions into unexplored areas, as well as how to treat unknown diseases...
We were sharing our opinions on those things today.
**White Tulip:** ............
**Heavenly Bamboo:** ... I had a suspicion that the last time we went to pick herbs, but Red didn't tell you anything, did she?
**White Tulip:** ......... No...
... Um, Heavenly Bamboo-san. If you don't mind...
**Heavenly Bamboo:** You want to come along?
It'll be difficult just to drop in and start talking about it, but it will give you some time to speak with your sisters.
**White Tulip:** Yes, please.
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Understood, let's go.
**White Tulip:** Thank you. I owe you one.
**Amur Adonis:** Wh-White Tulip-chan... Why do you think... You were never told anything?
**Heavenly Bamboo:** I wonder. We'll never know until she asks her sisters about it.
I don't think it's good to meddle in family affairs... But I'm a little curious.

**Amur Adonis:** Eh, y-yeah, a little. I heard a little about them from Creeping Bugleweed-san before.
She got into a fight with Yellow Tulip-san about medicines... I didn't really understand much else, but she seemed really busy.
**White Tulip:** Is that so? So my sisters have already been to Blossom Hill...
**Amur Adonis:** Ah, ummm, well... I-I'm sorry...?
**White Tulip:** Ah! N-no, I'm sorry for bringing it up! You didn't do anything wrong, Amur Adonis-san!
**White Tulip:** It's just me who has never been informed about anything... Nothing...
I'm sure I could......
**Amur Adonis:** White Tulip-chan...
**Heavenly Bamboo:** ...............

**White Tulip:** Thank you for taking me with you. My sisters are.........
**Heavenly Bamboo:** I think those three are probably still on break. I doubt they've gone off too far...
**Yellow Tulip:** Haa, we can't quite come to an understanding. This is taking a lot of time and is a lot of trouble.
**Purple Tulip:** Yeah. But we can't leave until we've made a decision...
**Red Tulip:** On the other hand, once things have been decided, then we can get things rolling for the time being. If we do that, then we'll be able to let her do her thing.
So, let's keep moving on and do our best!
**White Tulip:** Nee-san!
**Red Tulip:** Ara, White Tulip! What is it, which sister do you need? Actually, why are you here?
**White Tulip:** ...............
**Purple Tulip:** ... White Tulip?
**White Tulip:** That's your line?
So this is what you've been doing while I've been working all day every day...
**Red Tulip:** ... Ah, could it be that you said something, Heavenly Bamboo?
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Yes, don't tell me that you thought I wouldn't say anything.
**Red Tulip:** Ahaha, well whatever.
**White Tulip:** I heard from Heavenly Bamboo-san that you have been going to various countries to have meetings about implementing medical systems for the restoration of Kodaibana and about to prepare for proceeding into the Outside World.
**Red Tulip:** Yes, that's about it. There are many boring conversations that make me sleepy.
**White Tulip:** ...... Why didn't you tell me anything?
Even I knew that there are big happenings in the world which would increase the need of people to work as doctors.
I thought that when that time came, we could all together... With that in mind, I've been putting a lot more effort into studying medicine than ever before.
But... For some reason, you three told me nothing...!
**Red Tulip:** .........
... It's still too soon for you right now.
**White Tulip:** Ah...!!
**Purple Tulip:** Red-neesan...!
**Yellow Tulip:** Ah-ah, that's wrong! White Tulip! What Nee-san was trying to say is...
**White Tulip:** ... It would be insane to rely on me.
I... You still treat me like a child......
**Yellow Tulip:** Wait, White Tulip!
Grr, Red-neesan! That wasn't a very sisterly thing to say just now!
**Red Tulip:** I didn't say anything wrong though.
**Yellow Tulip:** Sure, I thought that we shouldn't tell her until the time came too, but I would never have treated her like that.
**Red Tulip:** ... Even if I told her the real reason, White Tulip would have still reacted in that same way.
**Purple Tulip:** ... That's certainly true.
“Leave the lengthy meetings with upper management to us, and when the time comes to act on site, then we would like you to use your skills.”
Even if we said it like that, White Tulip would still have felt like an outcast. She wants to be on equal terms with us.
**Yellow Tulip:** But that's why you shouldn't have said it like that. It doesn't convey a single thing of what we're thinking.
We've always never used enough words, have we?
**Red Tulip:** Yellow Tulip, Purple Tulip...
**Amur Adonis:** S-so then... Will she be alright? If we don't chase after White Tulip-chan...
**Red Tulip:** ... If we chased after her, it would make it worse. She needs some time... We all do.
**Heavenly Bamboo:** ... Haaaa. You're all unbelievable...
**Red Tulip:** Wh-what...?
**Heavenly Bamboo:** It's nothing? I'm pleased to see you make that face though, Ohohoho...
**Red Tulip:** Muu, grr...
**Amur Adonis:** Wa-wait wait wait? Can't you just communicate between the two of you?
**Yellow Tulip:** Heavenly Bamboo-san and Red-neesan surprisingly seem to understand each other quite well...
**Purple Tulip:** I wonder if there are times that they understand each other like how dogs and monkeys do.
**Amur Adonis:** S-so it's something like that...?
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Hey, stop pretending like you're someone who understands things like this! I'm getting goosebumps...!
**Red Tulip:** Wouldn't it be good to stop there...?
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Goodness... In any case, please clear up any misunderstandings.
I won't allow any awkwardness or mistakes when it comes time to be working on site.
**Red Tulip:** I got it.
... You're right, we shouldn't avoid telling her properly. About our feelings, and her wishes...
We're the “Four Tulip Sisters” after all.

## Chapter 3

**Chapter Title**: Our Bonds

**Synopsis**: The days of not seeing her sisters continue on, White Tulip is feeling depressed because she feels that her own immaturity is the reason her sisters won't discuss anything with her. Just then, an emergency messenger rushes past her. The message states that her sisters have gotten into a crisis...!?

**White Tulip:** ..................... Haa.
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Ara, so you're here today. Do you have work later?
**White Tulip:** Yes, thank you for your work, Heavenly Bamboo-san. No, I'm submitting reports now, then once that's done, my work will be over for today.
**Heavenly Bamboo:** I see, you must be tired.
**White Tulip:** Yes, thank you...
......
**Heavenly Bamboo:** ... You don't look so well. Could it be that you haven't yet been able to speak with your sisters?
**White Tulip:** ......... Yes. We've all been busy, so I haven't seen them at all.
But I've been hearing rumours about my sisters from all sorts of places. They've been running all over the place to help develop healthcare... I didn't realise anything until I was made aware of it.
My sisters always selfishly do everything and never discuss anything important......
Because... But......
**Heavenly Bamboo:** ... You're angry, aren't you?
**White Tulip:** ... Ah!
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Your sisters haven't told you anything because you're immature, yet that has dumped a huge amount of work on you... Or that's what I'm thinking.
**White Tulip:** ... If they had been better doctors, or Flower Knights, then they would have been more reliable and I wouldn't be forced to keep on nagging them...!
But instead of that... My sisters' heads are all in the clouds, so I have to always do my best...
It's so pathetic and frustrating that I never figured anything out myself...!
**Heavenly Bamboo:** ............ They don't even understand how you feel.
**White Tulip:** ... But it's not just me that's angry.
Admittedly, I might not be reliable myself. But, even I should...!
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Stop.
**White Tulip:** Ah!
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Whatever is coming next isn't something you should be saying to me, is it? It's something you have to tell your sisters directly.
**White Tulip:** Heavenly Bamboo-san...
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Especially with the Red one. Even though she drops that disgusting facade sometimes, you still don't get to her, right?
**White Tulip:** ... Yes, you might be right.
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Well, she's probably complaining about the same kinds of things as she makes her way to Kodaibana right about now.
**White Tulip:** Eh... My sisters have a mission in Kodaibana?
**Heavenly Bamboo:** A mission... Isn't quite right. Look, the reconstruction is progressing steadily over there right now, right? But the production of medical facilities hasn't been keeping the same pace.
There are quite a few pioneering villages around with normal people, so it's vital to correct this issue.
So it was decided to have a full fledged inspection not long ago, and today's the planned day for it. I've been on a different mission until not long ago, so I couldn't accompany them.
**White Tulip:** So that's what's happened...? They're going as far as Kodaibana...
**Heavenly Bamboo:** They can confirm their abilities there. As doctors, and as Flower Knights.
**White Tulip:** ... I guess you're right.
Um, thank you for listening to me, Heavenly Bamboo-san. I can focus on putting my feelings in order while I wait for my sisters to come back.
Then... I can properly talk to them frankly.
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Yes, please do that. It would be a problem for the four of you to dance around eggshells all the time.
**White Tulip:** ... It feels like all you've been doing is taking care of me recently, Heavenly Bamboo-san. It's usually about my sisters too...
**Heavenly Bamboo:** This hasn't been something that just started either, hohoho.
**Flower Knight Messenger:** Delivery! Deliveryyyyyyy!!
**White Tulip:** De-delivery? Has something happened...?
**Heavenly Bamboo:** This doesn't seem like a normal thing... Let's go and take a look.
**Cornflower:** ... Is that so? Understood.
We need to arrange an emergency rescue team immediately! Please contact the other teams!
**Flower Knight Messenger:** Yes!
**White Tulip:** A rescue team...? Um, Cornflower-san, did something happen?
**Cornflower:** It seems that the team heading to Kodaibana was attacked by pests.
**Heavenly Bamboo:** !! To Kodaibana... Don't tell me, that team was...!?
**Cornflower:** Yes, it's the team that was heading to Kodaibana to inspect the medical facilities. I heard that there are a lot of doctors as part of that team, and not just Flower Knights.
**White Tulip:** Even the general public...! What is their status right now!?
**Cornflower:** They're probably surrounded by a swarm of pests, and are pinned down.
Captain Red Tulip-san seems to have sent the messenger just before they got surrounded...
**White Tulip:** Then, my sisters...!
**Heavenly Bamboo:** Please calm down. Do you plan to go by yourself? That's definitely impossible.
**White Tulip:** …! But, Heavenly Bamboo-san...!
**Heavenly Bamboo:** It's you, so you should know exactly what to do at a time like this. Calm down... Then let's go and save your sisters.
**White Tulip:** ... Yes, got it.
Cornflower-san. Please let me join the rescue team!
My sisters... I want to save them...!
**Cornflower:** White Tulip-san...
... Understood. Then I'm going to assign you as unit captain.
**White Tulip:** !! M-me, as unit captain...!?
**Cornflower:** Yes, with your abilities, there shouldn't be any problems... Will you accept it?
**White Tulip:** ......... Yes!
**Cornflower:** Now, hurry and organise a rescue team and head out to rescue the inspection team that is currently being attacked by pests by exterminating said pests.
**White Tulip:** Roger that!
Please wait, sisters... I'll be there to save you soon...!

She always exudes a strange aura, only says weird thing, which is mainly the reason that Purple-neesan is called a “witch”.
But the truth is that she cares about people more than anyone else, and is a person who will stand by you through all your sorrow and pain. She neglects her own self to save the hearts and minds of so many people...

... She's so earnest and hard working that she doesn't notice anything around her. She just keeps forging ahead, always chasing her goal, even if it's as ridiculous as discovering a panacea.
I'm extremely jealous of her single mindedness...

The amount of times I've thought it's Red-neesan's fault is countless.
... But she's more dedicated than anyone else, having the courage to go on dangerous missions, and has the power to pull everyone along with her... To be honest, she's the most reliable of my sisters...
... That's why I absolutely must go and save my sisters. I hope they're safe...!

**Accompanying Doctor:** There are many with minor injuries... But we're all doctors. We can look after ourselves with that.
**Purple Tulip:** How reliable. Then we will focus on protecting you.
**Red Tulip:** The messenger must surely have escaped. Reinforcements will be here soon, so everyone hold on.
**Yellow Tulip:** Yes, but... This kind of pest is sensitive to smell. Even if we were to find a place to hide, it would sniff us out in no time...
**Pest:** Gigi......... GigiiiI......!!
**Yellow Tulip:** It's coming! It's faster than I thought!
**Purple Tulip:** Leave that one to me, sisters.
**Red Tulip:** Yes, I'm counting on all of you! Whoever can move, get away!
Hey hey, we're over here! We'll be the ones to face you!
**Pest:** GishaAa!!
**Yellow Tulip:** Don't forget about me, sis!!
**Pest:** Gifgiii!!
**Pest Swarm:** GiiI... GaaaaAA...!!!!
**Yellow Tulip:** So? How do you think we should deal with this amount of them?
**Red Tulip:** No matter what we decide to do, we have to do something! We just have to defend ourselves until reinforcements arrive!
**Pest A:** Gigii... GiiiiIIIIIIII!!!!
**Yellow Tulip:** !!
**Pest A:** Giii!!?
**Yellow Tulip:** Eh!? From behind us...!?
**White Tulip:** Haa... Haa...!!
**Yellow Tulip:** Wh-White Tulip... Why are you here...!?
**Pest B:** Giii...!!
**Pest C:** Gaaa... ah!?
**White Tulip:** Now!!
**Yellow Tulip:** ! DeeyaaAAh!!
**Red Tulip:** HaaAa!!
**Pests:** GiiiiIIiii...!!
**Yellow Tulip:** White Tulip! Don't tell me you came by yourself!? That's insane...!!
**White Tulip:** No, I'm not alone!
**Pest D:** GigiiIIi!!?
**Pest E:** GishaaAAa!!
**Pest F:** GiiiaAAa!!
**Elder Flower:** Is everyone alright!?
**Glory of the Sun:** This quite the sizeable swarm... Everyone, don't push yourselves.
**Heavenly Bamboo:** The rescue team has arrived. We're awaiting your orders, captain White Tulip.
**White Tulip:** Yes! The vanguard will eliminate the pests! The rearguard will focus on supporting the vanguard! The people who can treat the injured, join the inspection team behind that rocky outcrop!
**Red Tulip:** White Tulip... You're...
**White Tulip:** Nee-san... I'm no longer a child.
**Pest G:** Gigii... GigigigiiiIIIi!!!!
Giiii!!
**White Tulip:** My sisters will join me for this fight... Because I'm one of the Tulip sisters!
I have a lot of other things I want to say, but we need to wipe out these pests first! Let's go!!

**White Tulip:** Haa, haa... That was the last one...
**Yellow Tulip:** There are no more enemies around. Fuu... We managed it somehow.
**Purple Tulip:** Big sisters, White Tulip!
**White Tulip:** Purple-neesan! Is everyone alright over there!?
**Purple Tulip:** Yes, we're fine. The treatment of the injured is over for the time being, and the rescue team is taking care of them.
**White Tulip:** That's, good...
**Red Tulip:** Oops, are you OK? White Tulip...
**White Tulip:** ...... No.
**Red Tulip:** ?
**White Tulip:** I'm not OK! Not at all!
Don't you think that I've been worrying sick about what might have happened to my sisters as soon as I got word from the messenger!?
But my sisters still won't ever tell me anything... If anything had happened, then I... I...!
**Yellow Tulip:** White Tulip...
**White Tulip:** ... I've only been thinking about how my sisters have kept everything secret from me and haven't relied on me at all ever since that day.
How you never told me anything because I was too immature, it was frustrating and pitiful...
**Yellow Tulip:** ... Sorry, White Tulip. That wasn't our plan...
**White Tulip:** But... Even though!
Please trust me more, even if I am immature...! I want to fight alongside my sisters, and we'll do our best together as doctors for the sake of the world...!
Alongside my irreplaceable sisters...!
**Purple Tulip:** White Tulip...
... So the reasoning behind our thinking was correct. But because we're sisters, it was wrong. We made our precious little sister think these terrible things.
Right, Red Tulip-neesan.
**Red Tulip:** ......... That's right. Somewhere along the line, we started thinking about how you were the youngest sister.

***White Tulip:** The vanguard will eliminate the pests! The rearguard will focus on supporting the vanguard! The people who can treat the injured, join the inspection team behind that rocky outcrop!*
*My sisters will join me for this fight... Because I'm one of the Tulip sisters!*
*-Flashback End-*

**Red Tulip:** But you've turned into a splendid Flower Knight, and an even more splendid doctor...
Sorry, also... Thanks, White Tulip.
There will be no more secrets from now on, no more exclusions. We'll fight together as the “four Tulip sisters” and save everyone.
**Yellow Tulip:** Yeah, that's right. As sisters, and as Flower Knights and doctors on equal grounds.
... On that note, please cooperate even more with your big sister's medicinal trials from now on♪
**Purple Tulip:** Ara, even though she's been joining you so many times. More importantly, I'd like for you to help me more with my psychological experiments. I can't get any good results from these older sisters of ours.
**Red Tulip:** Fufu... Then I'll also be asking you to help me with even more various things. Let me get to know you even moo-re, Dr. White Tulip♪
**White Tulip:** ...A!! ...a, ...Ah...----!!
My sisters are all idiots...!
