A continuation of the first part.

???: It had only been a day ever since he left.

???: ...yeah.

???: What's wrong? I thought you hated him. He's your rival, isn't he?

???: Of course he is!

???: Then... why don't you seem too enthusiastic about him being gone?

???: Because... well... I never got to tell him...

???: Tell him what?

???: *blushes profusely* Tch! Why am I telling you this?! Of all people! You're his childhood friend, meaning you should be my enemy as well!

???: Ha-chan.

"Ha-chan": Ugh, now what?

???: ...You've fallen in love with Haya-kun, haven't you?

Present time

Mrs. Iga: *smiles* After that day, you could say that we were basically non-existent to each other.

Mr. Iga: ...That's why.

MJ: Wait, just because you now know about her feelings for you, doesn't mean we should go easy on her. With all due respect sir, please remember that she's still in pursuit of you, and your clan.

Tristan: She's right. Despite everything, do remember that she's still an enemy.

Mr. Iga: *sighs* Right. I understand. Pain means weakness, after all.

Princess: Yeah, and that's why we should start planning about how we're gonna ambush her.

Tristan: Understood.

Our heroes put together a plan with the help of Hayate and his parents. At last, it was sundown, and the girls prepared themselves for battle. Mr. and Mrs. Iga decided not to go with them, in case of another attack upon their kingdom along with their only son Hayate.

Mr. Iga: Are you sure you refuse to go with them?

Hayate: Mm. I will stay here and fight with you, father, mother.

Mr. Iga: *smiles under his mask* Now you're actually putting my teachings into action.

Mrs. Iga: I wish you all luck on this mission. Ganbatte! Do your best!

The other girls: Yes ma'am!

The girls run off to the place where the Scarlet Flowers are said to be found. Upon reaching their destination, they each separated in teams of three, and headed off to their own directions, but not before Mary decided to cast an invisibility spell upon each and every single one of them, but only so the enemies are the only ones that won't spot them. Bea, Angel, and Mary headed east towards the bushes, hiding in there and waiting for the signal. MJ, Rhian, and Hannah silently headed towards the back of the palace to look for an open window to sneak in, while Tristan, Princess, and Erica revealed themselves in front of the guards to serve as a distraction.

Tristan: GO GO GO!!!

Princess: HAAAAHH! *uses Terraforming*

Heaps of rocks then gathered themselves into Princess' gauntlets, making the guards stop on their tracks.
