Event Story – Spring Has Sprung! Happy Easter, ch.12

[kozvme]

 

Will: It's true that... like you said, I kind of knew
that at this pace it would have been impossible to make the flowers bloom before Easter... Inside of me, I knew.
I clung on the baseless conviction that I musn't give up, that I would have been able to do something if I believed it strongly enough...
And because of that I worried you, and of course Oscar-san and Akira, too.
Thank you very much, Brad-san. My eyes were opened thanks to you.
I'm really... sorry for having made you worry.

Brad: No need to apologize. Besides, I'm not the one you should apologize to... Isn't that right, Akira, Oscar?

Will: !

Akira: It ain't like I want an apology. I'm happy you realized you were pushing yourself.

Oscar: That's right, Will. I'm not asking for an apology at all.
I'm really glad you managed to do something before it became serious... I wouldn't have expected less from you, Brad-sama.

Will: Akira, Oscar-san, thank you very much. I was so happy when I heard you respected my feelings...

Akira: Don't do anything reckless again.

Oscar: That's somehow deeply moving coming from you, Akira.

Akira: Haah? What's that s'posed to mean?

Oscar: ? Literally what I said?
Anyway, the cold wave was caused by a substance, huh... I was wailing my powerlessness against a natural phenomenon, but I'm suddenly motivated now.



Will: Me too. Let's work together to retrieve the substance!

Akira: Rrrright! That's voltage max!

Will: Uhm, Brad-san... what will happen to the "Easter league"?
Will it be held like planned if we retrieve the substance?

Brad: We know the cause, but there's no guarantee we'll be able to retrieve it before Easter.
Even if we manage to, it'll take time for the flowers to bloom, right...? We might as well say that given the current situation the event is still in danger.

Will: ...... I won't say that we will definitely retrieve the substance before Easter Sunday... because that is irresponsible.
However... now that we know the cause, I want to believe it until the last minute.
Would it be difficult to review the course of the event without somehow cancelling it?

Brad: ......

Oscar: Will...

Akira: I'm with Will on this. It's not like the fact that it's Easter's gonna change just because it's cold. The peeps in town are looking forward to it, after all, no?

Will: I think so, too. It would be more disappointing not to hold the "Easter league" than not having fresh flowers...
For example, we can use artificial flowers to decorate the venue instead of fresh ones, or we can have the egg hunt indoor; I think we can do it if we give it a twist.
If we heroes liven up the event, the citizens will probably enjoy it together with us, whether it's indoor or we use artificial flowers...

Please, Brad-san! I want to do what I can as a hero for those who are looking forward to it...!

Brad: ......
