Rurou!

Lucy!

Lucy?

Take care of Lucy!

Rurou!

"Rosebud"

What? Rurou went down that waterfall?

I just looked away for a second, and...

Unbelievable...

Considering Rurou's composure and judgment is second only to mine.

Yeah. Considering Rurou's passion and kindness is second only to mine.

I'm number one in composure.

I'm number one in passion.

Would you stop comparing yourself to Rurou just to show off?

Says the one showing off the most by cosplaying as a cheerleader.

Well, since it was almost breakfast, I wanted to cheer everyone up!

Dancho, nobody likes this, so please knock it off.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Bethor.

Right before he was swept away, Rurou told me to take care of Lucy.

There isn't a woman named Lucy in Rurou's database.

We'd have to ask Rurou himself,

but... he's already dead.

Don't just assume that!

Here's my offering.

Stop with the offerings!

Rurou!

Don't cry either!

That's right. It's not funny, even as a joke.

You're not very convincing dressed like that.

We're a team.

I will not be abandoning anyone for as long as I'm the leader.

The river divides three ways after the waterfall.

Then, let's split up and get searching.

I'll go with Yama--

I'm going with Renkin.

Let's search the river in the middle.

What? Guess I'm with Kakka. Oh well.

Let's search the left side.

Just don't annoy me by getting too worked up.

Cheer up...

Looks like you're up. Thank goodness.

You're...?

I'm Rose.

I found you on the riverbank and had Patrasche help me bring you home.

It's broken... So much for reaching the others...

Is something wrong?

How long was I sleeping for?

What is this place?

Today's the third day.

This is Flora in Blossom Territory.

Blossom? That's not a region I've heard of...

I was totally swept to the countryside.

You saved me. I need to thank you.

Are you hungry at all?

We may be in the country, but they say our lady makes the best pies around.

Your lady does?

Rose Blossom.

I'm the lady of these lands.

It's good!

Right?

Still, you seem so young for a lady... Isn't anyone else living here?

My parents passed away one year ago.

They were in a wagon when a wheel came loose and they fell off a cliff.

I let go of all of the servants...

...and overwhelmed by despair, I closed off my heart.

I've been alone ever since.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. Besides, there's more to the story.

My father left behind a wonderful present for me.

This.

Rose... buds?

The soil around here isn't great.

And while other flowers won't grow, the roses blossom beautifully.

"You mustn't wither as a bud."

"You have to see the outside world and blossom."

When I saw these roses, I felt like my father was saying that to me.

Come, let's go.

Where?

The outside world.

--Lady Rose! --Lady Rose!

Miss Rose!

I brought you new roses, everyone.

Here you go!

They're roses of joy.

Our lady shares her roses with everyone in these withered lands.

They smell so full of life, it heals our hearts enough to live here.

Roses of joy, huh?

Haven't you found one as well?

Your very own rose of joy.

Huh?

No, we're not like that...

Oh, Rose...

My very own rose of joy.

My caged bluebird...

Lord Dokudami.

So formal... Won't you call me by my first name?

It's Dokumida. Dokumida Dokudami.

It's all the same. What do you want?

This is Blossom Territory. You're not the lord here, so don't pretend--

Know your place.

That's...

Enough.

You're as beautiful as ever.

Isn't it about time that you accept my proposal? Yes...

My wedding proposal...

You're as sly and devious as a snake.

All you want is my family's wealth.

My parents rejected your proposal.

Your parents will cry in the afterlife if you keep this up.

You'll disappoint them if the Blossom line ends with you.

Hmph! How dare you say that when you had a hand in it!

Excuse me?

Everyone says you tampered with the wagon using that weird sword!

You hated them because they both rejected you!

You talk too much, you ignorant fools!

The Panagia Counter's readings are high.

It's as I thought... an Excalibur.

I will not allow you to threaten my people.

And I despise the thought of marrying you.

But the Blossom line won't end.

Oh, Rose... My rose of joy, my caged bluebird...

Have you forgotten it takes both stamen and pistil for flowers to grow?

I've already given my heart to someone.

What did you say?!

It's him.

Wh-What?

Oh?

Just play along.

I will not stay a damaged chick forever.

I'm spreading my wings to find happiness.

I don't know who the hell you think you are, but...

How dare you show up and seduce my wife!

Stand back.

Likewise, how nice of an Arthur to show up and make my work easy.

I'm going to mess you up!

Oh, right. I need to go...

I'll let you off for today, but you better get lost before you end up hurt!

I knew I wasn't mistaken.

H-Hey!

Mmm, indeed.

I get it! Miss Rose brought her husband to show us!

Wonderful! How wonderful!

I knew he was a good guy from the start!

No, you see...

The forest around here sure is dying.

It's been three days without so much as a clue...

What if Rurou is actually--

Are you okay, Dancho? Should we take a break?

I'm fine.

It's Rurou we're talking about. I know he's alive somewhere.

Huh? The river that split into three merges back into one.

Yeah?

Dancho, this is Renkin.

We passed the point where the river merges yesterday,

but no signs of Rurou so far.

We're continuing with the search.

Kakka here. We passed that spot the day before yesterday.

We're heading downstream.

What's that mean?! I'm last?!

It's not like it's a race.

It's bad! A leader should be in front of the pack when someone's in trouble!

So be it...

So fast! So fast! That's my fairy for you!

We'll catch up to them in no time!

Right! Wait for me, Rurou!

We're on our way...

...to find you...

You were very brave.

Lord Dokudami gives the villagers trouble too.

Allow me to thank you.

More importantly, is what the villagers said true?

That is, what he did to your parents.

I don't know.

But my parents won't be coming back and the past can't be undone.

It's just, I...

I don't want to go through that again.

I'm sorry. I keep reminding you of things you'd rather forget.

Hey... What's an Arthur?

Huh?

Didn't you say, "How nice of an Arthur to show up and make my work easy"?

Likewise, how nice of an Arthur to show up and make my work easy.

You were saying all sorts of things while you slept for those three days.

Like space-time distortions...

Rurou, who exactly are you?

Why does who I am have any importance to you?

Sorry...

But I... just want to know you.

Because...

The past can't be undone, huh?

Hey, future lord!

Will the wedding be coming soon?

I don't want to go through that again.

If we had come even earlier in the past,

could I have saved Rose's parents?

Rurou!

Hey! Hey!

You guys!

Thank goodness, you're alive!

How come you didn't contact anybody?

Everyone was worried about you.

Sorry, but my device kinda broke.

Seeing how it was you, I knew you'd be all right, but...

Bethor, on the other hand...

Did you think I was dead?

Of course.

Still, what a peaceful village this is! So tranquil!

It's a village named Flora in Blossom Territory.

Huh? Did you say Flora?

Something wrong?

I think Flora Village was...

Renkin? The Panagia Counter is reporting a space-time distortion.

There was an Arthur here, but I already broke their Excalibur.

The distortion will correct eventua--

No... When we were coming here,

the forest looked withered like its vitality was sapped.

And the Panagia Counter's readings were high.

It's not over yet.

According to proper history, this village can't be allowed to exist!

Huh? What do you mean?

The village of Flora prospered when Lord Blossom was in charge.

But he died in an unfortunate accident.

The daughter he left behind, Rose Blossom,

was emotionally scarred and never the same.

You're kidding...

The poor soil made it difficult to grow crops.

So the area declined, villagers leaving one by one...

And soon it was abandoned.

But, the village is still flourishing.

What if the Excalibur you destroyed wasn't the real one?

Seems like you may know something.

The Panagia Counter was reacting without a doubt.

They're roses of joy.

Here you go!

Rose... buds?

Rose is the one who saved my life.

And though she is a bit odd...

The soil around here isn't great.

And while other flowers won't grow, the roses blossom beautifully.

Rurou?

We're in trouble!

Lord Dokudami came for revenge!

Today's the day I take the Blossom girl, her land, fortune, and everything!

He's close.

What should we do, Rurou?

Huh? Where's Rurou?

Rurou already went running off.

To that Rose woman, I'm sure.

Then I guess we should be the ones to deal with this guy.

Count me in!

Tekken!

I'm not thrilled about fighting someone who isn't an Arthur, but oh well.

Kakka!

But unless we get consent from Dancho, our leader...

I consent!

Huh?

Dancho!

If we turned a blind eye to the suffering of people,

wouldn't we be tarnishing the Arthur name?

First, I'll start by turning the village of Flora into a bloodbath!

Rurou...

Are you hiding something from me?

From one year ago, after both your parents died...

You're the one hiding things, right?

About Arthurs, correcting history, and Excaliburs...

Excaliburs...

Excaliburs... Yes...

In my despair, I fled the city...

...and discovered it.

Ever since then, I was able to find happiness.

The buds I cut with these shears turn into lovely flowers, so full of life.

That life comes from upstream.

It's energy stolen from elsewhere.

Yes... Because this is an Excalibur.

And that makes me an Arthur.

These roses are not flowers made by my father.

They're fake roses created by the Excalibur's power.

It seems all I do is remind you of things you'd rather forget.

Your mission is to break Excaliburs, is it not?

But thanks to this, I could get back on my feet.

It brings joy to all of the villagers.

It allowed me to meet you.

But... this isn't right.

It's fine. Do it.

Whew! That was a workout!

Let's let them off with this.

Has anyone seen Rurou yet?

Rurou...

Not everyone who wields an Excalibur is a bad person.

But since this is our mission, we have to destroy their Excaliburs anyway.

What a rough job.

I'm not sure how to approach him.

Even you can be considerate sometimes?

Hmm?

By the way, Rurou. Who did you mean by Lucy?

Huh?

You said to take care of Lucy before you were swept away.

Oh... That Lucy.

I couldn't find any references in my database.

A girlfriend maybe?

Oof...

Be a little more careful now.

For some reason, you look like a Lucy to me.

Huh?

Rurou!

Lucy!

Lucy?

Take care of Lucy!

Rurou!

She won't stay a damaged little chick forever.

She's spreading her wings to find happiness.

Lucy was just a baby bird?

No wonder she wasn't in the database.

How was I supposed to know you wanted me to take care of

a baby bird you named?!

Even so, he possesses an impressive amount of composure and judgment.

Second to me, though.

He has passion and kindness for sure.

But he's second to me.

What does it even mean to look like a Lucy?

I'm never worrying about you again!

You could've just stayed there forever.

Sorry, everyone.

Thank you.
