+++ 奇跡国 - Miracle Country +++

[If you should wander to the Noodle shop, you might find Shara sitting on one of the tables, finishing the decorations of the shop's official name plate that she is going to hang above the door - reading "Hanahito", surrounded by little painted sakura and tachibana tree flowers.]

[And later on, she will open the journal, recording purposefully for once.]

Good evening everyone! As you might have noticed, Sakura and Tachibana... they've returned home. [She smiles a little sadly, but bounces back quickly enough, not dwelling on how much she misses them.]

So that means the Noodle shop needs your help! Zero has been so kind as to help me keep the shop running, but if you want to work here, either cooking or maybe helping with the accounting, we'd be very grateful!

[She backs up a little, so the video shows the shop itself, and how everything has been cleaned, the tables decorated with fresh narcissus flowers and tulips, for Spring.] And even if you already have a place to work... come visit the shop, we have some new dishes on the menu, and Zero's cooking is very delicious!

[Ucchii has been up to his elbows in cooking over the past few days, trying to perfect his inarizushi recipe based on the feedback he pretended he received. Somewhere deep down he might realize that it's not a desire to do things properly that drives him to all this preparation but a simple case of nerves. He wants to be able to please Daigo when they take that next step towards physical intimacy, and the cooking helps him reassure himself that he can.

Still, his heart is pounding as he waits for Daigo's return from work this evening, sitting next to an elaborate display of his best inarizushi. He saw Lilo and Minityra off to Snow White's home for another evening (complete with homemade treats as thanks), cleaned the apartment two times over, and still had time to sit there watching the minutes tick by. But good things come to those who wait, and he's already made Daigo wait long enough, right?

Surely nothing can go wrong.]

[Kiseki is once again showered in flowers! This time, however, they’re not as varied. White roses are spread over the different islands, and some of them seem to change colors. Are you upset for some reason? Having bad memories? Doubting yourself? Do you have regrets? The flowers surrounding you will seem drawn to you, and change to a deep, almost black purple color. It seems the more the flowers turn purple around you, the easier it is to give in to these dark thoughts, to the point where you might end up unable to even function.


But not all the roses turn the same – if, on the contrary, your thoughts are happy, if you believe in yourself and your friends, if you’re feeling good and optimistic, then the flowers will change to a bright pink. And the pink roses will be able to repel the effect of the purple ones, neutralizing them and turning them white once more.]
