[Story] Once upon a time, in a sour and desolate vale, there was a talk of a mystical tumour that seemed to like to die out on its own. The villagers, being prone to superstition, believed that plucking a specific flower would incur reinforcement against the tumour’s curse. The village elders, who were by far the most bourgeois, decided to outsource the service outsourcing of the exploration for the magical flower to a neighboring town. With mops in hand, the brave explorers set out on their quest, hoping to save their community from the impending doom.
