()<Speaker>Everyone in the Camp</Speaker>||:We are grateful for your gift of life...+For the ever-flowing syrup, and for the abundant grains. +In the time of harvest... +Under the blooming cherry blossom...+May you bestow us safety and shelter from the horrifying monsters.

()||<BIN>269</BIN>:The shrine maiden dances to the rhythm, her sleeves fluttering like falling cherry blossom petals. +As the tune draws to an end, the shrine maiden holds up the wine, raises it above her head, and prays to the withered trunk behind her.
Type100Mod(2)<Speaker>Shrine Maiden</Speaker>||:Oh mighty Deity, may you bestow us a bountiful harvest in the year to come, and may you keep us safe from the monsters. +Now, your people shall offer you their gratitude, so please savor the delights of the harvest!

Type100(0)<Speaker>100 Shiki</Speaker>||:No, I may hit her like this!

()||<黑点1>:
()||<黑点2>:
()||<BIN>262</BIN>:After listening to 100 Shiki's explanation, Miss Maiden slowly nods her head.
Type100Mod(2)<Speaker>Shrine Maiden</Speaker>||:If I understand correctly, you're a visitor who wandered into our campsite by accident. +It's quite a shame, that the withered trunk at the center of the campsite is in fact the very cherry blossom you're looking for. It's where generations of shrine maidens have prayed to the Deity. Unfortunately...
Type100Mod(2);Type100(0)<Speaker>100 Shiki</Speaker>||:...Looks like my search for a real cherry blossom has failed.
Type100Mod(2)<Speaker>Shrine Maiden</Speaker>;Type100(0)||:...Perhaps, there is another way?
Type100(0)<Speaker>100 Shiki</Speaker>||:Eh?
()||<SE1>RunStep</SE1>:Before 100 Shiki can ask anything, the black-haired girl suddenly emerges and rushes up to the shrine maiden.
Type100Mod(3)<Speaker>Black-Haired GIrl</Speaker>||:Maiden-sama? You're here, wonderful!
Type100Mod(2)<Speaker>Shrine Maiden</Speaker>||:Anya, don't be rude.
()||:Anya sticks her tongue out, then pulls out a handkerchief, revealing a green cherry blossom flower inside.
Type100Mod(3)<Speaker>Anya</Speaker>||:Look at this, Maiden-sama! I made it myself! +Being able to receive such a beautiful cherry blossom, the Deity will surely allow me to become the second shrine maiden, right?
Type100Mod(2)<Speaker>Shrine Maiden</Speaker>||:A green one? +Anya, the Deity only loves pink cherry blossoms.
Type100Mod(3)<Speaker>Anya</Speaker>||:Maiden-sama, that's way too strict! +Who says cherry blossoms have to be pink? Maybe the Deity likes it green?
()||<SE1>RunStep</SE1>:Anya shoves 100 Shiki into the maiden's arms and runs off in a fit of temper.
Type100Mod(2)<Speaker>Shrine Maiden</Speaker>||:Pardon me. +Anya is a shrine maiden's attendant, and she... She always disliked formalities.
Type100Mod(2);Type100(0)<Speaker></Speaker>||:100 Shiki shakes her head.
Type100Mod(2);Type100(0)<Speaker>100 Shiki</Speaker>||:Did Miss Maiden say earlier that "there is another way"?
Type100Mod(2)<Speaker>Shrine Maiden</Speaker>;Type100(0)||:Yes, wishes are imbued with their own power. If one's will is strong enough, it can reach the Deity and make the cherry blossoms bloom again. +What a coincidence, your name is also Sakura. You will surely be blessed by the Deity. +Miss Sakura, would you like to try praying together?
Type100(0)<Speaker>100 Shiki</Speaker>||:...
()||:100 Shiki feels like she's been subjugated to TAC50's attempt at a Halloween ghost story—it's nothing but hogwash! +What prayers? Did she really expect repeatedly mumbling "I want to see a cherry blossom" over and over would somehow make a dead tree come back to life, let alone bloom again?+Afra is still waiting for 100 Shiki outside, she can't afford to waste any more time.

()||:Kneeling under the tree, 100 Shiki can only feel her core temperature skyrocketing. It's so embarrassing that she wishes to dig a hole and bury herself right on the spot. +The entire camp kneels behind the shrine maiden in reverence, chanting together.

()||:The withered trunk remains unchanged. 100 Shiki looks up, and she can still easily make out the scratches left by the dark-skinned monster on the bark.
()||:With the prayer growing louder and louder, the heavens and earth seem to vibrate and resonate. +Suddenly, 100 Shiki's vision catches a motion signal. Is it coming from high up in the sky?

FP6(0)<Speaker>FP6</Speaker>||:I've tried to wake her up on our way back, but the trap is so complex that I can't decipher it. +Now, with her core temperature continuously rising, if she doesn't wake in time, tsk~
