Well, then. We've successfully seen all there is to see in the City of Flowers.
It is still too early to head back towards the set assembly point. How about we head off on our own, and meet back here in about half an hour.

Then, I guess I'm gonna head back to that shop we went to earlier and eat another croissant.

Hm, I wonder just how many of these places I've listed here that I'll be able to visit in 30 minutes… Right then, see you later, Epel-san.

Yessir!
Where do I even want to go…? Nothing really comes to mind, so I guess I'll just kinda wander around here.
There's a ton of stone buildings in the City of Flowers. Even though it's also in the Shaftlands, it's so different from Harveston.
Urk! That store on the corner over there's got a ton of posters that's got Vil-san on 'em!
Is that… a beauty shop? Oh cool, they have soap made of goat milk. Uhh, what do they got over there…?
|
???
|
Whew! At this here rate, I ain't got no clue how much more I can carry…
|
[Apple falls to the ground and starts to roll away]
|
Epel
Epel
|
Ah! Excuse me. An apple fell out of your crate.
|
???
|
Oh, why thank you. Sorry to trouble… Oh, hey, is that you, Epel-kun!?
|
Epel
Epel
|
oh hey, you're from Harveston! Why're you here!?
|
Stall Owner
|
So, I come to the City of Flowers and open up a special stall that sells apple pastries during these festivities!
Why are you in this city, Epel?
|
Epel
Epel

I was invited here for a social gathering hosted by Noble Bell College. I'm in the middle of touring the city with some school mates right now.
…But, uh, are you okay? You look like you were strugglin' carrying all those apples…
|
Stall Owner
|
That's the thing… The truck I was using to transport the apples today broke down, and it's just not starting up anymore.
|
Epel
Epel
|
EEEEH!?
|
Stall Owner
|
That's why I'm carrying all these crates full of apple. I can't bake anything if I don't got my ingredients.
And these apples from Harveston are so plump and heavy, y'know. If I don't hurry up, it'll get dark soon. Ahahah!!
|
Epel
Epel
|
Oh, then, I'll help too!
|
Stall Owner
|
Don't worry, don't worry. You're with your school friends, right?
|
Epel
Epel
|
Nope, it's okay. Right now we've got some free time, so I've just been wandering around the city by myself.
Sides, I can't just turn a blind eye to someone from Harveston struggling like this. Let me help you!
|
Stall Owner
|
Oh, alright, thanks… My truck is over there. I'm going to take these apples I have now, so head that way for now.
|
Epel
Epel
|
There's the truck! Okay, then let's get down to it… Wow, that's a ton of apples!
This is gonna take way too long if we gotta carry this by hand. I wonder if I can carry a bunch in one go if I use magic…

Is something the matter with these apples?
|
Epel
Epel
|
AAAAAHH!? M-MALLEUS-SAN!? WHEN DID YOU GET BEHIND ME…?
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
I was exploring the City of Flowers, and I merely happened to pass by. What is happening here?
|
Epel
Epel
|
Uh, so…
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
Hm, so all these apples need to be carried to the stall, you say.
|
Epel
Epel
|
That's right. I just wanted to help that guy, because I thought it would be tough for him to do it alone…
|
Stall Owner
|
Sorry to keep you waiting, Epel-kun… Hm? Is this a friend? He seems to be wearing a similar outfit to yours.
|
Epel
Epel
|
A-A- A friend!? Malleus-san!? You got it wrong!! This guy… I mean, His Lordship is…
|
Stall Owner
|
I see, I see, you called for some support, huh! Why, thank you, this is a great help!
|
Epel
Epel
|
W-Wait, no! Malleus-san just passing by! We can't use him for manual labor like this!!
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
I do not mind. Allow me to help.
|
Epel
Epel
|
Eh!? R-Really… Are you sure? Malleus-san, you're supposed to be enjoying your trip…
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
No need to hesitate so. It matters not my own travels, I am not so narrow-minded so as to forsake a person in need.
|
Epel
Epel
|
Thank you very much! Then, let's quickly get these apples moving.
|
Stall Owner
|
Woah, amazing! All the crates with the apples are suddenly floating!
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
What are you doing, Felmier?
|
Epel
Epel
|
What do you mean, what…? I thought we could bring the apples over by floating the crates…
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
Is there time to do it in such a painstaking way? If we are in a rush, we only need carry everything together.
|
[everything starts shaking]
|
Epel
Epel
|
Carry everything together…? EEEH!!!???
