Hanamizuki, Because Flowers Are Not Just Beautiful
Chapter 1: Amaryliss
“With the appearance of the perennial flower Raflesia Arnoldi, let us uphold the leadership of our King! Pay full respect to him for his dedication to protecting us all! Live His Majesty the King!”
The cheers of the combat troops calling for the name of the king. Giant flower petals that appeared in the sky. It doesn't have a pleasant smell, but somehow everyone likes it. Because from inside the flower appeared a smiling king towards all of them.
“My people, this flower will keep us all from distress. FOR FOREVER!”
“LIVE KING! LIVE!”
A little girl who saw this scene was simply stunned. The king who is in the sky. Smile at everyone.
“What is he...seeing me?”
“Hah!?”
Dreamlike.
Yeah, it was a dream. Dreams from my past life.
If I see the flower again from anywhere, what I imagine is the figure. The figure of the great king bearing the heavy burden of his people, but why could he still smile like that?
Is he smiling at me too? Smiling from the bottom of his heart?
“Amary-chan~ let's have breakfast with~”
The voice of the Elder calling me made me realize it again. Yep. Just live your life now. Not looking at the past.
“Amary-chan, do you know? The person you were yelling at at ‘mesum’ was going to be an apprentice teacher in our class.”
I was surprised. “A-what!? Just right!?”
“But... why do you call it perverted, Amary-chan?”
“P-just don't discuss that! That's embarrassing!”
I know Elder-chan must be curious. But if I remember that, it's embarrassing.
“Let's skip today's lesson!”
“Hee? Why?”
“If that person is the teacher, I don't want to!”
“But our lesson is now the most important.i.e flower magic..are you saying you want to learn more about flower magic?”.
“I-iya anyway.but that guy really doesn't seem to be a teacher!”
The elder laughed softly. “Who knows..even if you say he is perverted, but he is actually smart..”.
“Timpossible! I'm sure it is!”
“Oh yes, your book titled ‘seeds that no’ has ever taken today? I want to borrow it.”
That book. Also true. That guy must be!!
***
“Everyone introduce, he will be your apprentice teacher in flower magic lesson for a while.”
I'm really here. Standing before all the girls who were students in the flower magic class. Severer. Banget.
“I Riri Hanamizuki, please cooperate.”
I greeted them with a smile. And when I look around. Aihs. The girl is here. I hope he doesn't yell at me ‘mesum’ here.
“Sensei! Where is Taiyou-sensei?”
“She's on assignment somewhere else, so from now on Riri-sensei will take her place. Alright happy learning.”
Looks like the one who introduced me here is the homeroom of this class. After that he left and I was still standing in front of the class. I was like being stared at by a tiger cub who was scaring away a hunter who wanted to catch him.
“Deleting idealism?”
“Yes. They are all exposed to idealism that considers all men evil in their eyes. If it continues like this, the Hanatarou academy will lack students. Already since the last 10 years this academy never again has male students.”
“What happened?”
I'm waiting for Carnation-senpai's explanation. This freak is looking at me seriously. Unusually.
“There was a male student, who lost control and became a serial killer. The murder he committed was not aware of. So aware, he did not remember at all if he killed someone. Genesis 10 years ago that's what was severe.”
I'm choked. “There must be a reason why he became like that.”
Carnation-senpai nodded . “Yes, black magic influence. By killing, he will suck the power of the existing flower spirit, and make it the owner of the strongest flower spirit.”
“What purpose do fools do?”
“Of course to get seeds.”
That makes sense. Everyone must have made various attempts to obtain the seeds. They never know what a seed really looks like. No one ever knew.
But why would they want to get something that doesn't even know what it looks like? And why am I so intent on getting it too?
“Then next?”
“So far no one has ever managed to get the seeds. It leaves only a futile war and innocent victims to get something we don't even know what it looks like. Riri-kun, according to your own perception, why does everyone want to get the seed until they are willing to do anything to get it?"
I can't answer that. Because I want it myself.
“How about you?”
“Aih why did you even reverse my question?”
“Stupid won't answer it straight away.”
“Riri-kun you are stupid.”
I laugh. “Then what should I do here? I'll tell you one more time. I HAVE NO INTENTION OF BEING A TEACHER! Even if you force me to change their idealism!”
Carnation-senpai raised her left hand. He pointed his index finger at my lips.
“Because I prefer people who are stupid but caring than people who are smart but selfish. One of them is you, Riri-kun.”
“Hah?”
“Murid-students here do not fully understand why they become students here. I want you to watch them all until they find their way. The real purpose of his life. No more fear of loving men. Not only to prioritize seeds that we do not even know what they look like. So far we have only seen in history that seeds are able to make us develop into anything, and are absolute.”
“So you want me to change their point of view? You're so weird.”
Carnation-senpai sat back in her chair. “In short so.”
“Changing one's life path is not as easy as turning a palm!”
“Do not compare with palm.”
Carnation-senpai smiled strangely. That strange smile made me slightly shudder in horror.
“Murids here are like a full sheet of paper, and don't want to turn the next page, your job is to make them open the next page. That's the point.”
I'm still quiet. Then turn my body.
“That way my flower spirit will wake up?”
“Come..maybe yes or no.”.
“Hmh..”.
I held onto my shoulder that was scratched by the girl in uniform. I put my smile on.
“So...I have to be a gardener who has to make her wildflowers beautiful? It was more like a hunter wanting to tame the tiger he hunted. Know!”
Such is. Right now I'm in front of those tigers.
“Oi sensei! It's been 15 minutes you've been silent!”
Oh, my God, that pink hair again. He's really disrespectful. He called me sensei, and then he called me ‘kau’.
I breathe heavily. I have no talent for lying. I'd better just tell them, and again they're still looking at me with a mean look.
“Alright, I'll tell you one thing. First. I have no intention of being a teacher. I'm here because of a strange task I have to do.”
All the girls were shocked and looked at me more and more evil.
“Then why did you come here?!”
Pink hair really doesn't look like looking at my face. Beside him was a blonde girl who tried to calm him down.
I folded my hands together. “I came just because I wanted to tame the tiger I wanted to hunt.”
“KYAAAA!!”
Some of the girls screamed in fear. My parable doesn't seem to fit them.
“H-hey wait wait wait, that's not what I mean! I'm just—”
“You really are a suspicious freak...!!”
The pink haired girl was already holding a sword. The flower spirit is beautiful pink. That must be the flower spirit of the Amaryliss race.
“JUST DIE YOU MESUUUMMMM!!!!!”
Well, I'm really fucking here.
WOWOOS!!!!
Before a sword slashed at me for the second time, I cast defensive magic. Magic pieces of Dandelion flowers to make time immediately slow down.
“Haah, thankfully I still remember this Dandelion magic.”
I drew the sword that the fierce chick was holding. I lost my magic and it's time to go back.
“What did you do to my sword!?”
I still hold the girl's sword. The shape is beautiful. The blade is reddish silver. Amaryliss flower carvings are emblazoned on its front. So this is how the spirit form of the flower has risen?
“Hei little miss. Your sword is very beautiful.”
The face of the girl changed. His previously ferocious face with killing intent turned into a red meet.
I look around. Oh my goodness, that's terrible. They all took out all of his sword spirits. Except the blonde girl I saw sitting next to the pink hair. He looked at me worried.
I take a breath back.
I returned the beautiful sword in my hand to the fierce girl. Then I stood straight in front of all these tigers.
“You know, all your flower spirits are very beautiful.”
“You teased us yes, pervert!?”
The green-eyed fierce girl was about to attack me again. I raised my left hand. The girl stopped her attack.
“Do you understand well, why did the flower spirit rise up and become your weapon? What is your purpose in awakening that flower spirit?”
The whole class was silent for a moment. Just heard the sound of ‘kling’ ‘klang’ iron and steel from the weapons of these girls.
“Because of seeds?”
“Of course because of the seeds! We must become stronger in order to get that seed! Seeds that can do everything!”
The pink hairdresser shouted near me in a position still preparing the horses. Unfortunately, I stopped the movement completely with my Bluebell flower magic.
“You guys are really very funny huh? Why fight over something that doesn't even know what it is? That's totally contrary to what you guys actually dream of.”
I laugh. The whole class still looks at me evil. Except for the blonde girl.
I turned my eyes to serious. While continuing to hold back the Bluebell magic I spread throughout this classroom so that they would not all attack me.
“Listen. I have no intention of being a teacher. So I'll give you one piece of advice. Pursue what is certain, not pursue something that IS CLEARLY NEVER EXISTED LIKE THAT SEED! The flower spirit is there to help you achieve your dreams! Not chasing after an obscure thing LIKE THAT SEED! Don't you feel it? It was the same as wanting to catch the wind that could not even be seen!”
The look on the girls' faces began to change. I felt the tremors from the sword spirits they were holding stretch.
What the hell am I saying?
Was it just a bluff?
My words earlier, pierced right in my chest as well.
What was I thinking?!
I looked towards the fierce girl near me. His face changed too.
“Only a fool only..who pursue something that is not even clear where his origin from.”.
“…”
I stepped out of that classroom. The atmosphere was no longer a forest surrounded by tigers. Because the hunter has escaped.
***
Who exactly is that guy? Why did he hold back my movements earlier?
“You okay Amary-chan?”
Even the class looked confused. What were the words of the freak stabbing right in their hearts?
“Elder-chan.why..”.
“He's the right teacher.”
Iris' voice broke the silence.
“What's your max Iris-chan?!”
“I wonder why anyone like him would want to be a teacher here. I don't think he knows yet what this academy's terrible for MEN.” is
But why would he say such a thing? He said the seed never existed? Whatdoes thatmean?
“Hey do you believe what he said?”
“Which I might swallow raw!”
“We have to expel him from here!”
“Destroying the view only!”
Some of them seem to hate the freak. Of course I hate him too, the events of that time I will never forget!
“Your flower spirit is beautiful yes.”
But what happened to the look on his face when he saw my spirit? Why does he look so amazed?
Uh. He's a fucking sucker! Must have never seen a flower spirit as beautiful as this.
“We should how? Magic lesson flowers we—”
“Means today we are free right? Yahuwah!! Let's go to the canteen!”
Some students even ran outside. Why is it like this?! Though this flower magic lesson is my most anticipated lesson!
“Amary-chan, do you feel it?”
“What?”
“Riri-sensei was using a powerful enough Bluebell magic. He's restraining the movement of all of us here so as not to attack him.”
I'm choked. Right too, everyone in this class could have attacked him. But they only held the spirit of the flower without any intention of attacking. Even after the freak spoke, the look on their faces changed.
“What do-don't he be a user of black magic!? That guy is really suspicious!”
“T-wait Amary-chan..”
“Alleta? I'm gonna find that guy and I'm gonna get him out of here! I'll never be taught by him!”
“I've been watching him since. He has no evil intentions at all.only ordinary people.”.
“Why are you so sure, Elder-chan?”
“Because I saw a shady look behind the light of his eyes.”
I'm appalled. Shady gazes? How could?
“Elder-chan, your aura-detecting magic is not an error right?”
Elder-chan shook his head. “Because that's why I saw him early on I felt he was someone to rely on.”
So far, Elder-chan's vision has never been wrong. But I'm still not sure if it's about a man carelessly mentioning the color of my panties. Bawdy!!
“I will look for it and I will prove your judgment, Elder-chan!”
***
“Sial...why is such magic I use to tame tigers?”
Riri is on the roof of the Hanatarou academy building. Lie down. The Bluebell magic that he had used just now was indeed draining a lot of mana.
He still remembered what he said.
Why do I feel impaled too? And why would I say that?
Will it just affect the girls?
“For what chase something that doesn't exist?!”
Riri squeezed his chest.
“I'm really very unlucky to be here.”
I just held back their movements with Bluebell magic. But after hearing my words, their faces changed. Is it really that influential?
Riri got up after an hour of lying there. It's 10 in the morning. And he's getting hungry.
“Either why my body wants to guide them out of the enclosure—”
“Me also, Riri Hanamizuki.”
Riri was surprised to hear a voice other than her. The sound came from above. A girl dressed in black. Smiled wickedly at him.
“You…!? Oreanda?!”
“Meet you too. What are you doing here?”
The girl stood in front of Riri. They are about 2 meters away. Riri clenched her hand.
“What do you want to come here?”
“Of course pick you up my dear~”
“What!?”
“Ah...I forgot..you still don't remember it..Interracial wars that happened 5 years ago it.”.
Riri was silent. Looking irritatedly at the black-clothed girl.
“What do you want once again to come here?”
The girl looked around. “You alone, why be in a dump like this?”
“Not your business.”
“Then my whereabouts here are none of your business!”
Oreanda quickly launched a shock attack on Riri which left him almost out of balance. The flower spirit Oreanda was holding was a spear. It looks beautiful, but all over it is a deadly poison. Only the owner can control it.
“So your arrival here makes a fuss with me?”
“Until you're ready to come with me.”
“Cih.”
Riri who had no sword spirit could only cast defensive magic. When Oreanda attacked him repeatedly, Riri only held him back with his martial ability.
“Aah~ is boring once you don't have the sword spirit Riri-kun~ if this keeps you going I'll kill lo.”
“Dare to put me down just because I'm empty-handed.”
“If this continues, I just call my friends, how?”
From the ground appeared white flower flakes. But I know what it is. Hemlock's Magic. If the splinter is sucked in just a little bit, the poison can make me short of breath.
The girl was indeed an expert in creating various poisonous flowers.
“You're seriously going to kill me huh?”
Oreanda. “I just want to take you in a subtle way. Where might I kill my beloved Riri~”
“Heh. Coming to this place really brings shit.”
I strengthened my defensive magic. Dandelion magic can slow down time. Hemlock's flower flakes were very small. I couldn't avoid it right away, so I just made the movement slow down so I could see where it was going.
“Riri-kun, it's useless that you keep strengthening your Dandelion magic, you're just wasting your man free.”
The girl smirked evilly. But the scariest grin was only from Carnation-senpai.
“You are really a bad girl until whenever also—”
“Ah! Meet you too you freak!”
Suddenly a girl appears from behind the door carrying her beautiful sword spirit Amaryliss.
“You! Why come here!?”
Riri who was surprised to see the presence of Amaryliss could not do much. He was completely unable to freely move seeing the magic flakes of Hemlock right in front of his face.
“R-Riri-sensei..?”
“Quick go from there stupid!”
“So yes, Riri-kun. You came here because there's another girl?”
Cih, Oreanda's words make my hunch ugly.
“DIE YOU THERE!!!! DON'T TAKE RIRI-KUN AWAY FROM ME!!”
Oreanda shouted until the Dandelion defense magic was completely released. Hemlock's magic spread widely in all directions.
“Damn it, hey you! Don't involve the entire academy if you have business with me!”
Hemlock's magic in the form of a small fragment is indeed very likely to spread everywhere. Seeing the raging Oreanda will make me troubled.
“Enable Bluebell magic!! Protect this entire academy from Hemlock!!”
Riri stretched out her right hand, appearing a beautiful blue chain that spread out in all directions. But only a moment later disappeared.
“For a while. Hey you fierce chick! Why are you here?!”
Amaryliss did not answer. He looked at Oreanda who looked at him evil.
“AKAN-S. IKILL. YOU'RE. GROUNDWORK. ******!!”
“STOP!!”
Riri resisted Oreanda's spear attack again with both hands. He stared hard at her.
“R-Riri-sense—”
“Quick run there!”
Amaryliss remained silent in his place. He prepared his horses. Holding tightly to his sword spirit.
“What will you do?!”
“Great spirit of flowers. Show all your strength. Eliminate everything that bothers you. Eliminate all who have evil intentions before you. Dance the sword spirit Amaryliss!!”
The spirit of the Amaryliss flower shone dazzlingly. He sucked all of Oreanda's Hemlock magic until the woman began to get overwhelmed as her power was being sucked in.
“SIAL!”
But Oreanda did not want to lose. He fought the magic with his sword spirit.
“Basic stubbornness!”
When she let her guard down, Riri pushed Oreanda's body down. He snatched Oreanda's spear and threw it until it was sucked by Amaryliss' sword spirit power.
“I'LL REPLY YOU!!!”
BWOOSHHHH
