Kurt | ...What do you want? ...You're asking me what I'm doing? |
Kurt | Do you know about how this place is going to be gone soon? |
Kurt | ...Oh, right. You've come here to sort some things out. |
Kurt | I was just hoping that...maybe I could find butterflies here. Specifically, the Azure Swallowtail... it's an endangered species. |
Kurt | If they're discovered here, then this area might be protected as a wildlife preserve or something... |
Kurt | The Boss said he saw one around here a long time ago. He said they come to where there's a blue flower...But that's all I know about them. |
Goddess | I see! That's it♪ |
Nic | Have you come up with a good idea? |
Nic, Nak, and Flak | Tell us, tell us, Goddess! |
Goddess | All we have to do is prove that the butterflies that are attracted to blue flowers exist here♪ |
Nic | But we haven't seen a blue flower bloom in years! |
Nak | Yeah, so the butterflies aren't going to come. |
Goddess | Hmm... Well, it's always best to ask the florist when it comes to flowers. |
Goddess | So, what are you waiting for? Get to work♪ |

Lyla | Toy! |
Lyla | I got some more information about the flower seeds. |
Parsley | Hi, there! I heard your story and I did some research on it. |
Parsley | Since I am a Plant Hunter, I can usually assure you that I can find and bring back any kind of plant you want, but.... |
Parsley | The blue flower is a bit tricky. |
Parsley | There's a flower called Blue Mist that grows high up in the mountains, but... I don't know if it would grow here in this town. |
Parsley | But it'll be worth trying! This is where I get to put my skills as a Plant Hunter to the test! |
Parsley | I'll just need some time, though. I promise I'll find it and bring it to you! |
Lyla | Hee hee. Thanks, Toy. |
Lyla | I have to thank you, Toy. |
Lyla | Because of you, I was able to talk a lot with Parsley♡. Oh... Today is just like a dream. |

Parsley | Don't forget to water it every day until the flower blooms. |
Parsley | Also, this will wither when fall comes, so you have to plant it early. |

Lyla | ...Well, it would be sad if he didn't stay, and even if he does stay... |
Gwen | Even if he does stay? |
Lyla | I don't think I can admire someone who would change their whole life just cause a woman asked him to. |
Gwen | Hah! What's that supposed to mean? |
Lyla | Hee hee. I appreciate your concern♡ |
Gwen | And I was so worried about how you might be distressed! |
