Chapter 56: A garden of Love
I look around the destination that consists of lots and lots of trees full of delicious large tangerines, I notice Blanc's face lit up to see what looks like an entire forest full of her favourite fruit. Though the main thing that makes her happy is a sign outside the forest which says:
"The Tangerine Garden of Love. Built by Lady Black Heart in hopes that Lady White Heart can become friends again and visit this place, so the friendship can be restored."
The sign is metallic and black and the writing is in white, on the border of the sign is illustrations of branches with tangerines on them.
"Wow….I'm speechless, you mean you waited and hoped all this long, as well as planting this magnificent garden just for me?" Blanc blushed in appreciation, she smiled with joy.
I spontaneously suggested to the two CPUs to have their photographs taken near the sign, with which they both agreed with much enthusiasm.
A few photos were taken of them indeed as they posed and smiled, taking pride of the sign and the very site we are all at, strangely enough for some particular reason we all decided to get out a drink that we have been carrying in our pockets. Though the drinks varies from person to person it was nice that we all had one, and they were a drink from our nations. I also remember how the drinks were an important part for occasions such as this. It is then Noire answered Blanc's question.
"Yes my friend. I Lady Noire Black Heart CPU of Lastation wish to swear an oath of sisterhood with Lady Blanc White Heart CPU of Lowee, do you accept my friend?" Noire announced with pride holding her drink high.
It is then Blanc holds her drink high as well, in fact she holds it close to Noire's.
"It will be my pleasure to accept our oath my sworn sister." She replied.
"Though we were born on different dates, we will fight as one and we will ensure that our deaths never happen at all. I also call this oath of sisterhood so that we can end this chaos with our nations on top ensuring justice, freedom, fairness, peace and prosperity for all. Come my friends it will be my pleasure to show you around this glorious tangerine garden of Lastation, built in honour of my ally Blanc." Miss Lastation spoke with pride.
"I'll drink to that, lead the way sis." Blanc replied.
Both CPUs then take a long drink from their drinks, as we then walk at a slow pace through a path of this magnificent place. The path is sounded by trees full of tangerines that look very tasty and are fairly big in size, I notice the expression of Blanc's face as she's overwhelmed by Noire's generosity and kindness.
It is now the candidates' turn as all 3 of them stop to face each other, with their drinks held high together in the centre of the trio.
"I would also like to swear an oath of sisterhood to you two. So that like our older sisters we will also fight for them, for a better Gameindustri and for our landmasses. I am pleased that we can be together once again and I hope that our time together never ends, and we can continue to be together in a conflict free world." Uni spoke with pride.
"Yes with our love for our people and each other, we can thrive not just over the chaos but through anything our lives throw at us." Ram agreed.
"And we will ensure that all of our lives here are worth living." Rom added.
We all watched full of pride as we see them be together swearing their oath, and for them to be in complete support of our cause. I notice Noire and Blanc especially being very proud of their younger sisters as they have grown to the talented females we see today. Uni: a pro sniper and skilled with computers and surveillance, and the Lowee Candidates: both highly skilled in acrobatics, with Pokémon and their determination to succeed is incredible.
"Well done Uni, you have made me very proud of you. I am filled with joy that while my sworn sister is Blanc, your sworn sisters are her younger twin sisters. It's so great we can do this together." Noire said placing her loving hands on Uni's shoulders.
"Thanks Noire, it's great that you're always impressed with me, I always do my best for you and I hope that one day I can be just as good as you." The Lastation Candidate smiled back.
"You always do Uni and do not worry, I do not consider you to be inferior to me and it's good to want to be as good as I am, but you are already just remember to keep up your brilliance, work hard, train hard and of course play hard." Noire replied in a soothing voice.
It was then both Lastation CPU and Candidate hug each other for a while both smiling happily for one another.
"Well what did you think Blanc?" Ram asked.
"Did you like it?" Rom added.
"No. I loved it, to see my two young sisters grow to be such strong individuals, I am truly blessed that you are sworn sisters with Uni just as I am now sworn sisters with Noire." Blanc spoke smiling.
"Oh Blanc it's so nice to say you are very proud of us." Ram spoke sounding very happy.
"You smiling always make me giggle." Rom giggled.
"I'm always proud of you two, just remember that we must do our best for our sworn allies and sisters, and that one day our hard work will pay off and we can have our home back. Come here you two." Blanc motioned with her hands for them to hug her.
After seeing Blanc hugging Rom and Ram for a long time, it's good to see them enjoy it as Rom and Ram comments on how warm Blanc is as both literally and as a person. To see them sharing a bond together as well as to see Noire and Blanc nod at each other while their younger sisters hug them, it is indeed a special moment.
"To see the strong bond of sisters it brings joy and happiness to my heart. I always knew this day would come, I can think of nothing more than to write more poems to mark this joyful occasion." The harp player Cai Wenji smiled.
"I appreciate the compliment Cai Wenji, I look forward to seeing the poetry you produce, be it whether you write it down, or whether you store them in your wonderful memory." Miss Lastation replied.
"I thank you for the compliment Lady Black Heart, may I ask if it would be OK to swear a sister oath together, after all we share the same talented voice actress and we share the same love for our people." The Wei harp playing poet proposed.
"Of course sister and how wonderful it is for it to be the case. It's nice that there are plenty of people in Lastation who have the same voice actors as us." Noire smiled.
It is then like before they hold their drinks up high to swear the oath.
"Indeed as the Fitz Sisters, with our love, our courage…." Cai Wenji started off.
"…And our strength and intelligence, we will help guide the people and be role models for the people to look up to, to ensure Lastation and in fact Gameindustri can know peace, prosperity and justice for all." My girlfriend finished off.
I enjoy seeing this. Cai Wenji and Noire: 2 people I like and truly admire, it's so cool to see them unite like they have there. I always loved how wise and intelligent they are as well as how attractive and warm they really are. Indeed seeing them swear oaths to one another, not only is it fun to do but it's really nice to show how truly strong the bonds we really have are, and how we intend to put them to good use.
After seeing the Fitz Sisters swear their oath I couldn't help but over hear the Lee Sisters talking of the same thing. I've always loved how they resembled Blanc: Da Qiao who has a similar appearance to Ram and reminds me of a young version of Blanc, Xing Cai reminds me of how strong Blanc is as well as how determined she is, and Zhen Ji reminds me of how attractive Blanc is now and how sexy she could have been in the actual series itself. It astonishes me that despite the trio being from opposing kingdoms, it is down to circumstances that they stand together and it's really awesome that they wish to welcome their idol Blanc.
"I'm so happy for them two to be together as sworn sisters. They're really kind people." The Wu youngster smiled.
"Yes they're very strong as well, it's great to see them together united." The Shu warrior added.
"They're very attractive too, it's nice how they are very talented too and it's an honour that we're friends and perform together. Speaking of which I think now would be a good opportunity to welcome Baixinji to our group, I am eager to help prove to that slut Vert why she and our friends here are very beautiful." The Wei beauty flirted.
"I agree she is a very tough lady, and I would love for her to fight by my side and put that imbecile Yuanji in her place." Xing Cai agreed.
"I've heard how she often reads to children, I would love to play on her consoles. Ummm Baixinji?" Da Qiao called out.
"Yeah?" Blanc called out, it is then she moves towards them.
"It is so great that you've finally managed to become friends with Heisxinji as well as to have sworn an oath of sisterhood with her…" The youngster in red commented, her hands are held together as if to praise her.
"We wish for you to join us. So that we can stand united for what we believe in." The warrior in green proposed.
"So what do you say? Will you join the Lee Sisters and swear an oath of sisterhood so we can live together in beauty?" The beauty in blue suggested.
It is then that Blanc holds her drink up high as a gesture to do the oath.
"Of course I would happily do that, I have always had much respect for you guys, in fact I have much respect for Lastation and its people who we lead. I'm also flattered by the names you three call us. Very well, though we are from different places and are born on different days, as the Lee Sisters we shall stand together and we will use our courage…" Blanc spoke smiling.
"…our beauty, our intelligence…" Zhen Ji continued saying her part holding her drink up high with Blanc.
"….and with our might and strength…" Xing Cai added, doing the same gesture.
"…and with our honour, justice and kindness, as the Lee Sisters we will together with our various talents bring peace, prosperity and justice to all of those in Gameindustri." Da Qiao said as she does the same thing.
As they hold their drinks up high together, facing each other I could see determined looks on their faces, as well as showing emotions of joy and happiness. They then thank each other for Blanc now joining their group.
"Isn't it nice how everyone is having fun with this sworn oaths. Why don't we do one Tanya-chan? We've been together for quite some time, and since we're going on a journey it would be nice to be able to stick together for as long as we possibly can." The school girl Haruka commented.
"That's true, you know what, let's do it." Tanya spoke with enthusiasm.
It is then Tanya held her drink high in the air followed by Haruka.
"Though we are from different places and born at different times, while we may not know much about our abilities, as sworn sisters we will do what we can to assist in our friend's noble cause to bring justice back to the land." Tanya chanted.
"Indeed. Together we will consistently succeed step by step until we have reached our destination." Haruka announced.
After which they hold their drinks up high as part of the ritual of swearing sibling oaths.
"Who would have thought that Tanya and Haruka would now be sworn sisters. Heh heh, it's kinda cool how all of you lot have become relatives to each other." Landon remarked.
"You know since you're here, from one aspiring author to another, why don't swear an oath of brotherhood? After all we are both on a path as well, which is to bring peace back to Gameindustri." I proposed.
It is at that point he starts looking puzzled at the proposal, I can understand, perhaps what I am asking him is quite unusual.
"No offense, but to me it's a bit unusual to become brothers." He said.
"We'll just be sworn brothers, so don't worry about that, it'll just mean that we will work together to accomplish our goal." I explain.
"You know what, count me in. Besides it means all of us here will have sworn an oath then." Landon accepts.
I now hold the drink high after hearing him accept, which pleases me only for him to follow suit.
"As brothers, though it is has been a long time since we were last together. We shall swear this oath so that we can walk our path to victory and to our goal together…" Landon spoke.
"…Yes with our might and honour we will bring justice back to the land and ensure the world can be safe, fun and prosperous again, as well as to help each other with our fanifcs to ensure that they are the best they can be." I finish off.
With that said we hold the drinks up high in the air, only to then drink them.
"What a wonderful sight this is, everyone has sworn a sibling oath. There is something I wish to show you everybody." Noire spoke with pride.
She then leads us through the tangerine forests where we walk slowly enjoying the view of all these tangerines, and appreciating the magnificent nature that Lastation has to offer. It's not long after some walking before we come up to a rather posh looking caravan as well as group of motorcycles and a few people.
I couldn't help but marvel at the caravan as not only is it in black, but the immense size of the vehicle is very large, almost as tall as the trees themselves. The vehicle looks brand new and even on the outside I can tell it's an expensive one, it looks very luxurious. I wonder whether it is the element palazzo motor home, if so that's so cool for Noire to own one, I remember reading somewhere how they were the most expensive caravans, though I know it's luxurious beyond question.
"Ah we're going to have a tour of the Tangerine Garden by luxurious caravan? If so that would be so cool, I've never seen a caravan like this one." He asked.
"I actually think someone's going to get married judging by what I have seen. To be married in that thing, you really do know how to impress Noire." I answered.
"Thank you for the compliment guys, I'm glad you like this thing, as for what you gentlemen said well it's kinda both but you'll soon see, if you lot think it's awesome on the outside, wait until you see what's on the inside." Noire spoke with pride and enthusiasm, thrilled that she is able to wow us with one of her cool stuff.
As soon as we step inside though we couldn't believe what our own eyes are seeing how glamorous this thing truly is. From where we are there is a large lounge complete with a 50 inch screen TV with a PS4 and Wii U as well as their handhelds the Vita and the 3DS. The black chairs themselves are not just recliners but they are able to vibrate too. They're really big and look very comfortable. There is even a place to eat dinner which is a table surrounded by luxurious black bar stools, and an atom manipulator to make the food and drinks, which also has a large TV screen with the latest consoles of both Lastation's and Lowee's consoles as well. We are led upstairs by our glorious glamorous hostess only to find something I never expected to see in this particular vehicle: a large bathroom complete with Jacuzzi with interior and surround lighting and shower big enough for all of us, very nice indeed. She then takes us to a rooftop terrace which consists of more luxurious black seats and tables, it's so cool that the roof is adjustable and automatic, meaning this can be open top. I wonder if we'll get an opportunity to go on a long journey in this thing, sitting on the top and watching the great views. Finally she takes us to the bedroom, yep a bedroom and not just a normal one, it's a large bedroom consisting of a large quadruple bed, a large wardrobe and the signature large TV and consoles. The room comes with a window on the roof which is on top of the bed allowing the people in bed to watch the sky before they sleep. I'm willing to bet the bed is extremely comfortable.
I love this vehicle and I think we all do. I really like the theme of Lastation overall, how everything is so high tech and glamorous, she certainly knows how to impress us, it's an incredible vehicle and even after what I have seen, it's still unbelievable to see all of that cool stuff in one large vehicle.
"This is certainly impressive Noire, how fast can this thing go?" Landon asked.
"Oh it can go over 100mph of course this vehicle can make its own renewable fuel with no pollution what so ever." Noire replied with pride.
"Really? Renewable fuel with no pollution, and this car makes its own fuel? You're nation is very advanced Noire." Tanya remarked.
"Quite a lot of our vehicles have it, I always take pride in how we always ensure our advanced technology helps the people out for the better, and it's great that our advanced technology never fails. Great as it helps us do everything.
Of course there is something I wanted to show you guys, in fact I wish for Blanc, Uni and Rom and Ram to accompany me." Noire spoke with pride again.
It is at that point my CPU leads the other CPUs to the wardrobe itself. Hmmm more cosplay? Well I can never get tired of this, it would be interesting to see what they'd wear? A wedding dress?, An extravagant dress? Or is it some ancient clothing ala Dynasty Warriors.
"Ah I remember how Noire loves to cosplay, it's nice how we'll get to see her dress up in other clothes here." Landon spoke sounding really excited.
"You should have seen the cosplay we had together yesterday, it was great they were dressing up as all sorts of characters, it was so cool, I'll have to show you the photographs of them." I replied.
"I look forward to that Black-kun." Haruka replied.
As if on cue the CPUs come out, by Gameindustri they look stunning. They all wear a similar outfit but with different colours. They remind me of the custom clothes that you can put on created Dynasty Warrior characters.
The costumes they wear look majestic and appropriate, for they wear what appears to be the dragon costume for the most part: it consists of heavy extravagant breast plates with a gold dragon head on top, and a gold piece around the neck. The neck piece also consists of two extravagant shoulder pieces with gold wings on each one. The arms look more like sleeves as some flesh can be seen at the shoulders which covers the upper arms. The outfits also consist of long gloves with some armour on them. For the legs they wear some form of loose skirt which drapes over the back of their legs to their knees, the skirt also consist of some tight clothing that goes around their waist with a belt on top of it, the clothing has a pattern and consists of a few feathers at the bottom of both the front and the back. Finally for footwear they wear fancy dragon style boots which are big with pointed toes filled with gold patterns on them. There are also some clothing around the knees with some gold pattern as well as a ring around each leg. Last but not least on their costume is a very pleasant glamorous cape which goes down to the back of their feet.
They look amazing, absolutely stunning in them, it's great that they wear the colours of our nations with pride. For Noire and Uni their costumes use their Lastation black colour scheme, for Blanc her costume is in white for Lowee, while Rom and Ram use a light blue and pink colour scheme respectively. They keep their hairstyles, though for Noire while she retains her colour and her awesome length, on her head her hair is braided and wrapped like two tiny hills on her head. I reckon she did that as part of the look, it looks nice though, very nice.
While it is nice to see them get changed for the occasion, I can't help but notice something significant about there being a luxurious motor home, and a few motor bikes being in the middle of the garden for a purpose other than as a nice way of riding through the gardens, and then to the flats where will meet the land lord Cao Cao. I can't help but wonder whether we're going to have a Dynasty Warriors style wedding right here. That would be cool, to be officially married to Noire. Why not, if she is someone I love the most, and if we have that special bond?
"Your costumes give me poetic inspiration sister." Cai Wenji smiled.
"Yeah you look very glamorous in them as well." Zhen Ji added.
"Uh huh, you look like the great leaders you are." Da Qiao added.
"You know like with everything, your dress suits you which gives me an excellent idea." I say to her.
"Thanks for the compliment guys, it's nice to hear you appreciate what we do, anyway I think I'm thinking what you're thinking Black, anyway there is something I wanted to show you, Landon and Tanya." The Lastation goddess replied while flirting.
"Sure lead the way." Tanya spoke with enthusiasm.
"Uh huh, I just know it will be good." Landon added.
With that said we all follow her lead, I can only think of excitement as I think I know where this is going.
