Bandori Story Collection: Flowers 🌸

Cone 2: Opera of the Wasteland

Cone 2: Opera of the Wasteland

"RinRin, aren't you excited?!" Ako said, walking with Rinko to CiRCLE for their band practice.

(Note: Throughout this whole collection, I probably won't have them go to their designated schools.)

"...we get to go... back to practice today..so of course today is going to be...a great one.." Rinko said with a smile.

Roselia hadn't scheduled band practice for awhile due to Yukina being sick. With her full determination, she had wanted to perform with the group, but the sore throat she had prevented her to do so. So, the members have been working either together or alone.

"At least performing together is really cool!" Ako said, as they reached the live house.

"..yeah Ako-chan..." Rinko smiled, and as they walked in, they saw Lisa, Sayo, and Yukina sitting in a circle.

Wondering what was going on, Rinko and Ako went and sat down with the group.

"Ako, Rinko, welcome. Everyone please put on your robes." Yukina said, and everyone did that.

Well, everyone accept Ako and Rinko, they didn't have a robe.

"Remember what you need to do guys?" Lisa said, looking over at the guides.

"You need to help Aoba-san, and Mitake-san get through the mystical cavern of wonders." Sayo instructed, Ako and Rinko, who left to go to the cavern.

"...so much for practice..." Rinko said, as she was going to the cavern.

"Moca-chan is so excited to have Ran here~" Moca said, as the two approached the cavern.

"Moca, we've got to let them lead." Ran said, looking at her.

Ako and Rinko took the lead, and walked into the entrance to the cavern. The cavern looked real, and well that was fantastic!

"...I wonder when...this cavern was built.." Rinko said, as she saw the jewels lining the walls. Something, or someone, had to have created this masterpiece.

"Moca-chan thinks it's been built for awhile. The walls don't look like they are artificial." Moca said, as they went further into the cavern.

Soon a hooded figure approached them, and the figure had long mint hair.

"Travelers, if you are to seek the treasure located inside the cavern, keep going. Be careful of monsters, and who to trust in this cave. Two other hooded figures are in here as well, and when we are all together, the treasure has been found. Good luck!" The hooded figure disappeared and the group thought about her words.

"...we should keep going... everyone.." Rinko said, and saw that beyond was a place that had two pathways. Another hooded figure stood in between, and it looked like it had silver hair.

"Behold, you have two pathways.." The figure began.

"One pathway holds the route to the treasure, the other pathway holds the route towards despair. Which path should you take? Or if you split, who should take which path?" The figure said, but this one didn't disappear.

{If anyone wants to use that for an interactive book, let me know}

"Ako-chan...and I....will take the left path... Moca...and Ran will take the right path.." Rinko said, and the figure nodded.

"For both of you, the pathways will come to the same path at the end. One group will easily pass through, but the other will face dispair." The figured said and disappeared.

◇Ako & Rinko's Path◇

After stepping into the path, Ako wasn't that scared knowing that Rinko was by her side.

At first, they didn't know which path they were on, but then they realized.

"Why aren't you smiling?" A girl asked in the shadows.

"What the hell is our job?!" Another girl said, and the group was heading towards them.

As they got closer, the group saw two zombies, which were Kokoro and Arisa.

"I want to see your brain smile!" Kokoro said as soon as she saw Ako and Rinko.

"Oh cut the crap, Kokoro. You guys can pass through. This would've been easier if they told us what to do." Arisa said, letting the group pass by.

Ako and Rinko went further on to the path, and they encountered two vampires.

"We are the ones who want to suck your blood!" They said together, and dashed at them.

Ako recognized the vampires were Tomoe and Himari. They both were able to dodge them, and kept running forward only to see an angel.

"Congratulations!! You have made it through the dark path!" Rimi smiled, and let Ako and Rinko along the way.

♤ Moca & Ran's Path ♤

As Moca and Ran started their journey into the pathway, Ran had began to feel a bit scared.

Luckily for them, they had gotten the easy path, which was an escourt from the Hello Happy Phantom Theif, and a Witch.

As they had made it out of their part, Moca spotted Ako and Rinko.

Another hooded figure approached them, this time revealing brown hair.

"Congratulations! You're almost there to the treasure!" The figure disappeared, and a door suddenly opened.

The three figures were standing there, but with their hoods taken off.

"You have made it to the treasure!"

The treasure was a life size version of the sword that the girls received from Neo Fantasy Online the day before.

Ako hugged Rinko and smiled.

Let the flowers of love blossom for these two.
