Hanamizuki, Because Flowers Are Not Just Beautiful
Chapter 24: The Epilogue
“Wah, you guys are very helpful once, thank you very much ya!”
Riri smiled brightly when she saw the equipment room that had been dusty, messy and unkempt now was neater. The books on the shelf are also neat. Alstromeria, Elder, and Typha smiled.
“No sensei, it is we who should thank you.”
Said the Elder lowering his head. Riri who saw him tilted her head.
“I? Ah...I didn't do anything at all, Camelyum even kept forbidding me, ahahaha—”
“Not because of that! Sensei has fought hard to train us to advance and become the winner in the inter-class magic tournament. We who are from class E always think pessimistic, because never once succeeded.”.
“Uh...yah..I don't teach you much important things...but I'm happy if you guys succeed.” “...Even though Alstromeria-san and I are security guards, we have also been paying attention to E-class since your arrival. According to my eyesight, class E is now much better when with you.”
Riri just stroked her back neck awkwardly.
“Riri...-same..”.
“Hey I told you not to wear -sama—”
“If only everyone in Laurel city knew of your true prowess, they would definitely respect you a lot.”.
Riri just smiled, he patted Alstromeria on the head with his right hand.
“I don't need such things, being your teacher alone is already quite a hassle. Ahaha—”
“Riri-sama!”
“Ah by the way, I will cook, you can use the bathroom to clean yourself while I get ready!”
“T-no sensei! We're here to help and serve you all day, let us cook! Isn't that Typha-chan? Alstro-san?”
Both are at the same time.
“From that, sensei can wait while reading this latest Mahou Shoujo Eriri-chan manga! How?”
Blatantly, Typha took out a comic book from behind her shirt that was still sealed aka the latest edition that Riri had not had time to buy the other day.
“W-uaaaa!!!! K-k-you *-*-*-Typha..k-k-why can you—”.
“Not to be ashamed, Riri-san, a reasonable man really likes this kind of thing. Isn't it Elder-san, Alstro-san?”
Alstromeria and Elder nodded stiffly. Both of their cheeks are flushed which depicts the expression “ I don't think it turns out that sensei likes Mahou Shoujo”.
Riri was about to receive the book from Typha's hand in doubt. But he immediately held it.
“No! You guys stay my guests, let me cook, you can use the bathroom on the 3rd floor. Come quickly go clean yourself!”
Riri pushed Typha, Elder, and Alstromeria towards the stairs and asked them to go up. Unable to resist anymore, the three of them finally climbed up to leave him. Looking at the comic book Mahou Shoujo Eriri-chan that Typha had just held lying on the table, Riri immediately picked it up as fast as lightning.
“Finally finally finally finally!”
“You don't mind that shameful secret being caught by the three of them?”
Tanya Camelyum was holding a broom in her right hand. Riri was busy opening the plastic wrapper and immediately sparkled when she saw the contents.
“ Anyway, I want to read it first 5 minutes. Just calm! Camelyum please prepare the cooking utensils in the kitchen while waiting for the two who did not get along I told you to shop back, ok!?”
Camelyum just smiled looking at Riri's back that led to the reading room beside her library.
“Understanding, Master..”
***
“W-woah..”
“This is..”.
“This is not a bathroom anymore! This is a private pool!!”
Excitement Alstromeria shocked not play when opening the door on the 3rd floor that reads “bathroom”. As they entered it, hot steam immediately greeted him coming from the hot spring pool on the right. There was a cold pool of water on his left as well. There is also a shower and dressing room on the side. The golden marble floor and clean white walls make the atmosphere feel comfortable.
“K-then wait especially! Let's clean up as thoroughly as Riri-sama ordered!”
Alstromeria immediately took off her towel until her body was completely naked, and jumped into the pool of cold water.
“K-we can't refuse Riri-sensei's request for a whole day right?”
Likewise with the Elder who directly put his feet into the pool of warm water. His cheeks immediately met with red so comfortable.
“I'm also coming!”
Typha with her small body directly jumped into the cold water pool with Alstromeria.
“I still did not expect Riri-sama to live in a house this big alone.”
“Riri-san lives with Camelyum-san.
“Eh i-iya yes right too..only both...”.
“Both...”.
“Like husband and wife only yes.”.
“Eeeh stop thinking no-no!”

“A-what are you guys..”
Iris and Amaryliss just threw away each other's faces, with reddened cheeks.
“Why did you guys buy whole chicken like this? This is mostly!”
“T-it's okay! For...for supplies!”
“Dan...what is this? Why buy ginseng? That's on my Korean ginseng shopping list, right? Besides, where's the jahe?”
Iris and Amaryliss just kept quiet with their faces flushed.
“Why do you also buy spinach leaves? Where are the cantaloupe leaves?”
“Wah-wah..seems like you guys really can't shop huh? Are you guys really a girl?”
Said Alstromeria followed by Elder and Typha who had finished bathing. Without waiting for an answer, the look on Iris and Amaryliss's face described everything.
“Ah b-good sensei..”
“While Alstro and Typha, you guys just prepare the dining table yes, I will start cooking”
Said Riri while putting a brown apron on her body. Camelyum was wearing a white apron.
“B-let us just cook, Riri-sama!”
“You are the one who should serve you all day!”
“You remain my guest. So just sit there, ok?”
Unable to resist, Alstromeria and Typha headed to the dining table and prepared everything.
“2 the child really can not shop yes...from the shopping list, just buy the chicken is right, even one whole tail...? “Yah..than that, let me turn all this into a delicious dish.”

“Thank you so much for your help today! I'm really very helped.”
“We are happy to help you, sensei!”
“W-even though Miss Carnation forced us to wear maid outfits like this.”.
“But importantly, Riri-sensei is happy right?”
“Riri-sama, please let us know if anything happens!”
“Yes, Riri-san!”
“While at the academy tomorrow, I will give you a heavier lesson lo!”
Alstromeria immediately jerked.
“R-Riri-sama! W-don't go to the academy in the meantime!”
“Loh why? Anyway I'm fine..”.
“Uh..a-anu it—”
“Nona Carnation asked sensei for a temporary break from our class teaching assignments! So too with us! Aye right!?”
Iris replied and everyone immediately nodded in agreement. So far there is still no information whether the large stadium that has suffered damage has been recovered or not, Carnation has advised not to let Riri into the academy until the stadium is completed repaired.
“Huh? How come all of a sudden? Strange woman again delirious what yes..”.
“Po-just enjoy your rest time Riri-sensei!”
Elder Seru. Riri scratched her head which was not itchy.
“Hmmh yes already, then you go home soon, if it gets dark, you will get lost here.”
“T-stray?”
“The strange woman installed a new magic gate in this house, until from the outside it will not look anything, only the wilderness. Ordinary people will not be able to see it, except those with magic sensors.”
The 5 girls were instantly silent for a moment. They quite understood why Carnation had set up a new magic gate.
So that no one else can attack Riri.
“K-then we say goodbye, Riri-sensei.”
“Ah, wait a minute, I will use the teleport for you guys to get to Laurel before dark.”
“S-sensei!?”
Ctakk.
After Riri flicked her finger, the 5 maid girls instantly disappeared.
“W-woaa!!”
All of a sudden the five of them were in Laurel's town again in a matter of seconds. Normally, the location of Riri's house which was deliberately in the forest far from the city of Laurel, takes about 45 minutes to get there.
“R-Riri sensei actually uses teleport on us..”.
“But if we had walked up to here, it would have been darker, look at that.”
The elder pointed at the sun that was already setting on the western horizon. The sky slowly began to darken.
“Riri-sensei the..”.
“P- Anyway, let's get all the mess done at the academy the other day before sensei returns!”
“Ya!”
The 5 girls ran, heading towards Hanatarou academy in maid clothes. But this time not so many people who pay attention to them because exactly at 6 pm, the atmosphere of Laurel city will be quiet, and crowded again at 7 and above.
“Cute maid girls. Hmm...fit not yes so my personal servant?”
A black shadow streaked from tree to tree. As if he was watching the 5 maid girls running around. But it disappeared instantly.
***
"Why are you using teleport too, Master?”
“Carnation-nee makes my home even further away from Laurel. Really make a fuss.”
“How do you know?”
“Just a quick look at it anyway, and also I feel that the barrier magic has also been replaced. True no-”
“Uh well..possibly—Master!?”
Camelyum's sentence was cut off when he saw his Master's body stagger, and swiftly, he held it in with both hands before collapsing to the floor.
“M-Master!? Riri!? Hang on!!”
But the Master did not respond to the flower spirit question, as both of his eyelids closed tightly again.
