Among The Petals Dancing In The Wind

Side Story 1


Empty SEKAI
Miku: Cherry blossoms...
Luka: Remember how that doll appeared here that one time? Could the same happen with a cherry blossom tree?
Miku: (I want to find some cherry blossoms, but...)
Miku: Oh, MEIKO...
MEIKO: Miku? What is it...?
Miku: Um, there's something I'd like to ask you.
MEIKO: Me?
Rin: Oh, Miku, there you are...
Luka: Oh, MEIKO, you're here too. Would either of you like to play cat's cradle?
MEIKO: No.
Miku: I can't either right now...
Rin: After spending all this time looking for you...
Luka: Hehe. Don't worry. I'll play if no one else will.
Luka: By the way, what were you two doing just now?
MEIKO: Nothing yet. Miku said she wanted to ask me something...
Miku: Yes. I'd like to ask you two as well...
Rin: Yes?
Miku: How tall are cherry blossom trees?
Luka: Cherry blossom trees?
Miku: Yes.
MEIKO: Doesn't that depend on an individual tree's age? The longer they live, the taller they grow, right...?
Luka: How tall did you think they're supposed to be, Miku?
Miku: Huh? Um...
Miku: This tall?
Rin: I would think they're taller than that. Like this, maybe...?
Luka: Oh, you two are so adorable.
MEIKO: *Sigh* Quit teasing them...
MEIKO: Do you want to look for some cherry blossoms, Miku...?
Miku: Yes...
MEIKO: I see.
Luka: That sounds wonderful. I'd love to see a real cherry blossom tree. However...
Luka: As beautiful as they are, did you know that there are some terrifying tales surrounding cherry blossoms?
Miku & Rin: What?
Luka: There are instances throughout history where people refused to plant them in their gardens because they believed that it would cause the other plants to die.
Miku: Die?
Luka: Wilt away to be more precise.
Rin: Wait, wilting away means...
Luka: Yes, they cause them to wither and die. To be fair, I'm not sure how true that is.
Miku & Rin: ...
Luka: Some even say that misfortune will befall a family once a tree loses its cherry blossoms.
Luka: Conversely, many graveyards had cherry blossom trees planted in and around them as a part of consoling and honoring the departed.
Luka: At the same time, that also means these trees absorb nutrients from their bones. As a result, some stories state how ogres inhabit the roots of said trees.
Rin: ...
Luka: Also, did you know that most of the trees that Kanade and the others are used to seeing were cloned from branches of one tree?
Rin: Okay, I've made my decision.
Miku: Hm?
Rin: I'm not going to look for any cherry blossoms and I'll ignore any that I happen to come across.
Luka: Oh, because you're scared of them now?
MEIKO: Weren't you trying to scare us with those stories just now?
MEIKO: But you really shouldn't worry so much. After all, they're just stories. Old ones at that.
MEIKO: The only part that's true is probably how they're all cloned from the same tree, right? That sounded much more modern.
Rin: Oh, right...
Rin: Luka...
Luka: Don't give me that look. I said that they're stories, didn't I?
Miku: But cherry blossoms aren't just about how pretty they are...
Miku: (She may be right... However...)
Miku: (Mafuyu thought they were beautiful...)
Miku: (So, I still want to find some.)

Side Story 2


Empty SEKAI
Miku: ...
Rin: ...
Luka: Those two seem awfully anxious.
MEIKO: Says you...
Luka: Hehe. Is it that obvious? I mean, today's...
Miku: Oh... Welcome, everyone.
Mizuki: We're here♪ And all set to have a picnic!
Ena: But we're gonna need a hand laying out the tarp.
Rin: Fine...
Mafuyu: Miku, this is for you...
Miku: A branch. Is it from a cherry blossom tree...?
Kanade: Yes. Mafuyu and I went to a flower shop together to buy it.
Miku: Thank you. It's very cute...
Mafuyu: I chose it myself like you said I should, Luka...
Luka: I see. Thank you, Mafuyu.
Miku: What did you ask for, Luka...?
Luka: Hehe. Oh, nothing special.
Luka: Remember how we couldn't find any cherry blossom trees in SEKAI? I decided to ask Mafuyu to pick some out that she thought looked nice just for you, Miku.
Luka: That way, you'd be able to see what she believes is "beautiful", no?
Miku: Luka...
Mafuyu: They may not be as "beautiful" as the cherry blossoms I saw that one time, but these seemed like the best choice...
Miku: Thank you, Mafuyu... You too, Kanade, Luka.
Miku: I don't know what to say...
Kanade: Hehe. In that case, I'm glad we went around to so many flower shops.
Mafuyu: Me too...
Mizuki: Heeey. Bring that branch over here so we can gussy up our tarp!
Miku: Okay... Huh?
Miku: Oh wow... It's like the ground's covered in cherry blossom petals.
Ena: Hehe. It's nice, right? This tarp's printed to look like that.
Mizuki: We wanted to make this picnic feel more authentic, so we decided to check out this giant decor store♪
Mizuki: We even came across this!
Mizuki: Ta-daa! A plastic umbrella printed with tons of cherry blossoms!
MEIKO: Oh, it's not just the petals. It even has branches and everything printed on it.
Mizuki: Yup! It's perfect for making it feel like you're sitting under a real cherry blossom tree! Try it!
Rin: Oh, you're right... It's like there's a branch over my head...
Rin: It's so pretty...
Rin: Miku, here. You should try it too.
Miku: Okay, I will...
Mizuki: They like it more than we expected.
Ena: Yeah.
Mafuyu: Ena, Mizuki... I'll start getting the juice and snacks out.
Mizuki: Go for it!
Ena: What would you like to drink? We have apple juice, orange juice and some soda.
Rin: I want some of that bubbly stuff.
Miku: Apple juice...
Ena: Okay. Kanade, can you hand me those paper cups?
Kanade: Sure. Oh, while we're at it, here are some chopsticks, napkins and paper plates.
Ena: Thanks!
Mafuyu: Kanade, mind also handing me a paper plate?
Kanade: Okay, just a second. The bag with the paper plates was...
Miku: I'll help you, Kanade.
Kanade: Thank you, Miku. They should be around here somewhere, so can you hand some to Ena and Mafuyu when you find them?
Miku: Okay.
Kanade: Ena, she'll look for the paper plates, so in the meantime, here are some paper cups, chopsticks and napkins.
Miku: ...
Miku: (It's so lively today...)


Miku: (It's sad that flowers all have to wilt at some point...)
Miku: (But this picnic... It's so warm...)
