Sacred Power. Space resource. These words were all meaningless in the
face of this kind, steady yet powerful light.

I reached my arms out to these 4 Sacred Flowers, seemingly guided.

“...Please, give me power... Life, share some with me.”

I muttered slightly and imagined. I imagined the Sacred Flowers giving
off Life, using me as a catalyst and flowing to the Zephyria flowers left
in the planter.

Countless flickering green lines appeared in the flower beds. They
continued to get close to each other, weave with each other, and finally
became countless thick bonds. I waved my fingers, and they danced in
the air silently before finally moving to a single point.

At this point, I just needed to watch them. The bonds of light covered
the planter that was left only with wilted stems, seemingly surrounding
it a few times... and seemingly forming a huge flower as it got absorbed
by the soil and disappeared.

And then,

The 23 stems slowly grew at a speed the naked eye could see.

The flower buds slowly expanded, seemingly spreading their sharp
precious blade-like leaves, and seemingly protected by them.

I watched this scene, and tears again swelled.

This was... such an inexplicable world. Everything should just be a
virtual being, but it had a beauty even the real world couldn't match...
the power of Life... and the firm will.

“...Thank you.”

I thanked the 4 Sacred Flowers in the flower beds and the owner of that
inexplicable voice. I pondered for a while, and took out the school
emblem from my uniform collar that was held with a pin. I reached my
hand out, put it in a corner of the planter, and seemingly declared: This
is my territory.
