Hanamizuki, Because Flowers Are Not Just Beautiful
Prologues
Pasture. As far as the eye can see.
A banyan tree that has been growing for hundreds of years, leafy lush and dense.
On the right side is a flower field. Flowers with a variety of colorful beautiful colors.
Many say that seeing something colorful will make your troubled heart better.
How're you? Did that statement affect you?
“Lily flowers again?”
“No, this time Camellia flowers, of the same color.”
I took one white flower with many petals from the flower field. I gently touched the petals. I felt the scent of the pollen tickling my nose.
“Not many people will assume that the flower is strong. Flowers are strong depending on the season. Like a Sakura flower. There are times when the flower will fall and there are times when it will bloom.”
“I'll change that point of view.”
“Confidence once.”
“Of course, if a person does not have confidence, he will continue to be weak forever.”
“It's lucky you know me, so I can give you advice.”
“Addiction?”
“The confidence is like the ground that becomes the support of flowers. If you continue to water the soil with the clear water of your spirit, then the soil will flourish. You yourself as the flower the longer it will continue to grow. If the water of your spirit is gone, it's the same as your land of confidence is dry, and you wither.”
“What kind of advice is that?”
I laughed at his annoyed face after hearing my advice. He's embracing my body.
“Now, how about you? I see you also have absolutely no progress. Your height stays level with my shoulder.”
“Cerewet.”
This time he laughed at me.
“Riri-kun, go find a girl, who is as beautiful as the camellia flower you hold.”
“No, my priority now is not just a pretty flower.”
“Huh?”
Blue sky with white clouds in the sky. The breeze seemed to make the meadow sing.
“But I want to make..The flowers too, sing with their hearts.”.
“You are indeed Riri Hanamizuki, a man who wants to find meaning and why God created such a beautiful flower in this world.”

What is your purpose in living in this world?
A question that can only be answered by yourself.
I was still walking in the direction of the wind. I have not yet determined my true purpose in life. Since ‘itu’ happened.
Interracial war.
And I am a race of Lilium. War for the seed that will make whoever gets it will live forever. It cannot be harmed, it cannot be resisted, and it cannot be left behind. He'll be in power.
Can it be called a principle in life? I don't think it's bad either. Because I wanted the seed myself. But what will I do after I get it?
The group does not have.
My race is one of the 5 rare races on this earth. Lily is a beautiful flower, but if you only look from the outside, you'll never know.
Lily flowers are deadly.
But after the 3rd interracial war 5 years ago, still no one got the seed. Even innocent victims continue to fall. Including 80% of my race.
No one knows what the seed looks like.
I can't keep following the wind either. The wind is so hard, they can take you anywhere. Including where I stand now.
“Damn...I told you I don't want to follow the wind anymore. I'll try to follow the direction of sunlight only next time.”
A sword academy. Yeah, that's where I stand now.
“Riri-kun fool! When do you want to put your flowers to sleep? Sooner or later you have to wake your flowers!”
The woman's words were so annoying, she said I was stupid. But I guess I have to admit it.
I breathe heavily. The words of the woman I thought was like a big brother were buzzing again in my ears.
“Build my flowers yes.how many times have I flush water still so-”
“You must also raise your sword that has been asleep for decades.”
Sword, yes, now that I am 23 years old, each race will get a flower spirit that will be its companion to get the seed. But it is not just a flower, but there is a sleeping sword spirit in it, when it awakens, it will be your right hand and will be your servant to obtain the seed.
I don't know why at my age I still can't wake my flowers.
“Riri-kun, listen to me. You're a fool, but you're a genius, only you can't reveal it, so be an apprentice teacher at Hanatarou's academy so you realize how genius you are.”
“Haha, you must be kidding.”
“I seriously know! If I let you wander aimlessly, that seed won't show itself either! Don't you also want that seed?!”
I want it too, but I have my own way of getting it.
Unfortunately my heart could not refuse the woman's request.
“Consider.this is in return for what I did to you to take care of little Riri so far.”
He is currently the principal of the Hanatarou academy. I don't understand why a freak like him could be made headmaster. His age is still young.
“Although apprentice teacher, what can I teach-”
“HYAAA!!”
GUBRAKKS
***
“Nona Carnation?! Are you kidding me?! Accept an apprentice teacher? How much strength does this academy diminish?”
A maroon-haired girl stared intently at a disciple in an official uniform before her. Instantly the female disciple who was in front of him was somewhat stifled to see him.
“You want to fight me, Alstro-kun? You want to know why I put an apprentice here?”
The girl did not answer.
“Because most of the students in this academy have not found the real principle in life. Why did they enter this academy? What do they want to fight for? What do they really want? What are their true ideals? They all just want power without goals and dreams that are logically understandable. They still held him and could not reveal it. Even if they have been taught by expert teachers, they have not found their way to the future. And this apprentice teacher I recommended at Hanatarou academy is extremely talented. And I'm sure he'll answer that question.”
“By the way he'll be arriving soon. Get ready ya”
“What...he's that great…? Where's..dia?” from.
Carnation just smiled.
“Takkan exciting if I tell~”
***
“S-pain....”.
“Hei little girl.skirtmu”
On the first day of her entrance to the main gate of Hanatarou academy, a girl bumps into Riri and falls down. And the shame is, the girl's skirt is blushing upwards.
“KYAAA!!!”
The girl shouted and immediately rose from the fall. Holding her skirt tight.
“D-basis perverted pervert!!”
“What? Wasn't it you who hit me? And by the way your panties are color-”
“DIAAAMMMMM BASIC BAWDY BAWDY!!!”
The girl's screams made the people around her notice her. And most of them were girls who stared evilly at Riri.
“Sial, the time of my first day came here directly addressed so?”
The girl who hit him was still in front of him. I looked at Riri angry.
“Dengerin used to dong if people talk.so I want to say if-”.
“MESUUUUMMM BASICS!!!!”
PLAKKK!!
With a successful red palm imprinted on Riri's cheek, and the girl just left. The people around him looked at Riri with a look of disdain.
“Sick... what the heck...dare to hit me-”.
Riri's attention was on a book beside her. Book titled ‘seeds that could not exist’.
“The book belongs to the girl huh? What does he do with a book like this?”
***
“Sucks sucks sucks!! Why would any stranger enter the academy?!”
“Amaryliss-chan!”
The pink haired girl turned her head when someone called her name. The voice came from a blonde girl.
“What the hell is Elder-chan?!”
“Hee why are you so angry? Where is that book? Aren't we going to study the book in the next lesson?”
“E-EHH!?”
Amaryliss just remembered that the book had fallen before.
“Why, Amary-chan?”
“Anu— I think I forgot to bring it.”
“Hee? Unusually Amary-chan forgot.”
“The book must have fallen when I hit a freak earlier”
The green-eyed girl muttered to herself.
“Ah Amary-chan, did you already know we were going to have an apprentice teacher?”
“Really?”
“Hee? Is he going to teach in our class?”
“Now, but if it's true she's that great, I'd like to ask her a lot about flower magic.”
***
“Hmh, this academy is big too. And where is the principal's room? I mean that weird room.”
Riri took a walk around the corridors of Hanatarou academy. The classic English-style academy is too big. A building that has stood for 2 centuries. It still looked sturdy without the slightest flaw around it. Only a few parts of the paint color have faded somewhat.
“HEY! WHO ARE YOU?!”
Riri's move came to a halt when a girl dressed in a uniform that appeared to be a security uniform confronted him in front. He held his sword in front of him with both hands.
“Aah..this time what else..”.
The girl was surprised. “Why not answer? Who are you?!”
“Ah, looks like you're a member of a special forces team here huh? May I know where the principal's room is? I'm this-”
“You even want to see Miss Carnation?! A strange man who had suddenly entered this academy wanted to meet the principal?! You're an intruder!?”
“H-he? Intruders? Geez little lady, how could you lily-”
“AHHH!! PERVERTED PEOPLE BACK THEN!”
Suddenly a scream was heard from behind him.
“Amaryliss-san? You said he was a pervert?”
Amaryliss's face turned red.
“P-just he's a pervert! She...just so perverted!”
“H-hei first listen to my explanation-”
“YOU ARE REALLY AN INTRUDER YES!!!”
The girl in full uniform immediately ran to draw her sword towards Riri who had no time to open her mouth.
“Why am I so unlucky anyway-”
TAPP
Riri managed to hold back the tip of the sword that attacked him. The tip of the sword stopped right in front of his nose. Riri nyengir's.
“Wah, your sword skills are good too, little lady?”
“A-what did you say!? Don't talk! I am Alstromeria, the head of the protective security forces of Hanatarou academy!”
“UWAA!”
The girl lost her balance while trying to let go of Riri's hand grip, and Riri grabbed her body just like that.
“I told you, right? Though your sword is beautiful lo, little lady.”
“M-remove from my body!”
Alstromeria violently broke away from Riri's grip, though her facial features were slightly reddened.
“So little lady, please listen to my explanation first! I want to see the principal and-”
“No more words of explanation for men! They are just a threat to us! HYAAAHHH!!”
Riri began to panic because the girl in front of him seemed to seriously want to fight him.
JRASSH!!
“A-what?”
Riri did manage to avoid that indiscriminate attack, but unfortunately his right shoulder was scratched. Their fight stopped. Riri dropped her knee to the ground.
Alstromeria stuttered slightly when she saw the blood on Riri's shoulder. But he tried to change his face and calm down. Then pointed the tip of his sword in front of Riri.
“Give up intruders, you won't be able to attack our academy lag-”
“Sick to know, little miss”
How shocked Alstromeria was, when Riri looked at her and she even smiled widely.
“It looks like this will be an amazing academy huh, because of the many girls who are like wild tigers here.”
“A-what did you say!?”
Alstromeria was ready to attack again, but Riri raised his right hand.
“Small girl, whatever if you want to attack me, but I have no reason to fight you.”
Alstromeria.
“Alstro! What are you doing!? Quickly banish that pervert from here!”
Riri set her sights on the pink-haired girl who insisted on addressing him pervertedly.
“Hey you're pink hair, stop spying on me. Pain know...”.
Amaryliss was surprised to see Riri's bored gaze. Riri got up after momentarily kneeling on the grass. He walks in a relaxed manner.
“T-wait for the intruder!”
Riri stopped. “You said there was no explanation for men. What have men done here?”
Alstromeria did not answer.
“Wait. There is no explanation for men. And I'm a man.”
Silent.
“J-DON'T TELL ME THAT I'M THE ONLY MALE HERE?!”
Riri made a panicked face. Making people around him look at him with a strange look.
“No way, this dream this dream this dream this dream dream!!”
“Hei intruder! Where are you going?!”
Alstromeria shouted at Riri who continued her path while still acting in panic herself. Riri stopped.
“Will..I'll ask the freak directly why he made me an intern here!”
After that, Riri continued her steps. Walking while stomping his legs annoyed.
“Hey little lady, you still don't want to tell me where the principal's room is? If you still don't want to let me explore this whole school!”
“Wait. Intern teacher, j-so you're the one?! You're the apprentice teacher Miss Carnation mentioned?!”
Riri turned towards Alstromeria who shouted at him furiously.
“Oh, that freak already told me?”
Alstromeria looked very surprised. “A freak like you..is an apprentice teacher at this academy...?”
Riri was shaking her lips. “Whatever you want to call me. I'm really fucking here!”
Afterwards Riri actually left by stomping her legs irritated. Alstromeria is still out of place.
“Dia...who will be an intern..?”.
“DO I FORGIVE!!”
***
Damn fuck. The first day was hit by a girl, attacked by a girl, and almost slashed by a girl. What was the purpose of that freak getting me in here anyway?
I stomped my feet annoyed. It doesn't matter the girls around me look at me weird. When I get to that freak's room, I'm gonna choke him up and say everything.
“The principal room. It must be this one, hey-”
Before I opened the door, it felt something sharp stabbing my back until I stopped moving. I moved my neck slightly to see who dared to stab at this smooth back of mine. Not to mention my shoulder was also injured.
“Now what's lag--”
“Who are you? What's the purpose of meeting Miss Carnation?”
This time it was the girl who had the color of silver eyes. Seeing me evil.
“You heard my explanation and won't attack me all of a sudden?”
Ask directly. The girl did not answer. I'm waiting for him.
“UWAAA!!”
Suddenly the door in front of me opened and I lost my balance because my body was stuck in front of the door until finally successfully fell.
“Ah, Riri-kun? You have arrived, have you? And what's the point here Typha-san?”
“This guy wants to try to get into your room, so I think he's an intruder who might try to kill you.”
I rise to my feet. Do I look like a bad guy?
“Ah if this guy can't do that. Thanks for your vigilance Typha-san, you can go.”
“Good, Miss Carnation.”
The girl just left. The cold face was expressionless.
“AHH! I FINALLY FOUND IT TOO! I WANT YOU-”
Suddenly the woman in front of me put her index finger in her mouth marking me to be silent. But I still put on an annoyed face.
“No need to shout so Riri-kun, I know that you are happy—“
“What's nice anyway?! What exactly was your purpose in bringing me here?! I have no intention of being a teacher, you know! You see this? I almost got slashed by a little tiger who just met the hunter!”
The strange man laughed.
“Ahahaha! You almost died when you just came in here? You're really great Riri-kun~”
“Senpai!!”
“Good, I already knew you'd behave like this. And again, on your first day, you were treated unpleasant, huh? Ahahahaha!”
Hearing the sound of her laughter makes me want to really strangle her.
“I deliberately didn't tell you the details so you could feel what Hanatarou Academy really was like. So far you've started to understand?”
“The girl in uniform who attacked me said that she won't let the men destroy Hanatarou academy again. And he said there was no explanation for the men. Isn't that a bad idealism? What really happened?”
The woman I called senpai and had the position of principal of Hanatarou academy was sitting in her chair. He closed all the window curtains. I just looked at him in wonder.
“Riri-kun's chat. I want you to erase that idealism from their brains.”
