Chronicles of Divine Grace: Volume Seven

In the year 371, blessed by The Wishing One, the inhabitants of Old Florawish gathered splendid, robust stones to create a statue of The Wishing One. Upon hearing this, The Wishing One’s descendants flew over jungles and lakes to the His side, relaying what they had seen.

In the presence of all things in the field, The Wishing One declared, “I am aware of your devotion, and shall bless those who believe in wishes.”

The sky was instantly lit with divine radiance, and glimmering golden paper fell from the heavens, landing in everyone’s hands and unfolding into paper cranes. Brimming with awe and gratitude, the townsfolk silently voiced their wishes, and the cranes flew toward the Dream Warehouse, carrying the people’s wishes. The Wishing One used His mighty power to grant the wishes written on the paper carried by the cranes. From then on, the people of Old Florawish named the paper “Wishflight Paper,” and thanked The Wishing One, singing praises in His name. They understood that their wishes had been graced and blessed by The Wishing One.

Chronicles of Divine Grace: Volume Nine

Even a thousand years after the Heaven Fall, the people of Florawish remain steadfast in their devotion to The Wishing One, seemingly oblivious to the passage of time.

As is the tradition of Florawish, the higher a wish is hung, the easier it is to fufill. High wishes are easier for The Wishing One’s descendants – the Faewish Sprites – to see, and for The Wishing One to hear. The diligent and intelligent townsfolk of Florawish do everything they can to hang their wishes up high, even employing Whimancy to replicate the magical items created by The Wishing One – Wishflight Paper. All their efforts are made in response to the vow that The Wishing One made millennia ago.

Behind this wish-making tradition is the townsfolk’s firm belief in wishes. They are not just calls form one’s heart, but also milestones along their life journeys. Each wish represents an unfinished story, a dream with an unclear path, and a lingering expectation. Wishes are the beginning, the process, and the end of the long journeys of people’s lives in Florawish.

Statement

Recently, a visitor reported to the Kingdom Guards that they thought they saw an Esseling while playing Hoop Hopper and expressed concerns about the safety of the mini-games.

We take this matter very seriously and fully cooperated with the Kingdom Guards during their investigation. The results of the investigation are now being made public:

All mini-games at the Meadow Activity Support Center are conducted under safety measures, and there have never been any instances of Esseling intrusions. The reported incident was due to the visitor’s lack of aerobic fitness, causing their heart rate to rapidly increase and their brain to briefly lack oxygen, which led to dizziness and the mistaken belief that they saw an Esseling.

The Meadow Activity Support Center has always been a key patrol and protection area for the Kingdom Guards, and we will do our utmost to ensure the safety of the mini-games. We would like to remind everyone to know their limits when playing mini-games and to take regular breaks.

- Aurona, Head of the Meadow Activity Support Center

Libro Conversation

“The dark energy spread swiftly, engulfing the sky. Dexter, the young leader, gritted her teeth. She knew this was the final battle.”

It moves me every time I read it. What a thrilling battle! Fortunately, The Dark couldn’t escape back to the Abyss. Still, half of the Eight were either killed or severely wounded…

Oh, you’re back! Are you eager to see what happens next in the Sage of the Eight? That’s when the seven nations were established, marking the dawn of the Age of Whim…

Unveiled Heart

Why do you think I’m mad? Listen, I’m perfectly sane, calm, and collected. I’m not crazy to believe in this conspiracy.

Every night, I hear a faint, dull, and steady sound. It sounds like the noise an animal wrapped in cotton would make, which only fuels my anger. You should’ve seen how clever and cunning I was when I did that thing! I was skeptical of the mayor’s theory, who suggested the sound might have come from an animal known as a Croaker – what kind of theory is that?! How can I be sure she isn’t trying to hide something?

As Florawish and the Pieceys maintain their façade of being decent in public, I can only recall that war with the heretics in the dead of night. Those sounds disturb my peace. You say the war has been over for many years? Well, that’s just a lie that those in power made! Just like an animal’s cry, it might fool others. This is a thorough conspiracy set out against me. Some high-ranking individuals found out about my war reviews through some despicable and crafty means. She may be foolish, but she recognized my genius and knows that if war breaks out again, I’ll be the hero who leads everyone, and she’s not willing to be sidelined!

I won’t give up, just as this conspiracy won’t give up for anyone. I only pledge my loyalty to time, and time will witness my greatness!

Nameplate

Lilina was the first mayor of Florawish. She awakened people’s courage in the face of disaster and rebuilt a new home from the ruins with them.

Notice Board (Near Floof statue)

Recently, the “Ebony Scissors,” backed by the Sovereign of Cool, have been unusually active. They are rude, often initiating Styling Duels unprovoked and doing whatever they can to get their hands on sketches. Furthermore, they have been imitating the Sovereign of Cool’s way of doing things and destroying others’ great designs while declaring, “The Ebony Scissors cut through everything.” We ask all locals, travelers, and Exiles passing-by to be careful and keep away from harm.

Stylist’s Guild

Styling Challenge: Millennium of Change

The Styling Challenge’s Origin

The concept of the Styling Challenge originated on the very day the stylists formed their distinct groups. It’s only natural, given that self-expression and the quest for it are at the heart of every stylist’s passion.

Back then, many people frowned upon holding such challenges. Choosing the right day and the right place was paramount, and freely presenting one’s creations was considered an insult to the art of styling.

The Styling Challenge’s Development

After the Stylist’s Guild was founded, its development department focused on expanding the stylist community, while research into Whim reached new heights. The Stylist’s Guild destigmatized all taboos and promoted artistic freedom with the slogan, “The freedom of contests is as intrinsic to beauty as styling itself.” The movement greatly invigorated the contest scene.

The Styling Challenge’s Current State

Nowadays, the Styling Challenge is an essential part of stylists’ lives. To some, it’s a means to find their special someone. To others, it’s a gateway to greater opportunities. There are even rare cases where, under extreme circumstances, people get a second chance at life through competing…

To stylists, any problem or doubt can be resolved through Styling Challenges.

The Styling Challenge’s Nature

The Styling Challenge, at its core, is the demonstration of Stylists’ Whim. The end result is achieved by combining a Stylist’s individual Whim and the power of their outfit.

A successful demonstration is only possible when a stylist has a great amount of Whim and makes good outfit choices.

Notice Board

Responsibilities of the Florawish Stylist’s Guild

1.Organize styling activities, promote styling behavior, and publicize Whim, Whimtech, and Ability Outfits.

2. Enhance communication, inheritance, cooperation, and healthy competition among stylists, promoting mutual growth.
3. Supervise the use of Whimancy, crack down on prohibited Whimtech and Ability Outfits, and promote harmonious coexistence between stylists and the townsfolk of Florawish.
4. Fight The Dark, investigate mysterious events related to styling, and help maintain peace in Florawish.

Duel Strategy: From Zero to Sovereign

Overview

The term “Sovereign” shines in the hearts of countless stylists. It represents not only the pinnacle of styling excellence and glory but also signifies a journey through crisis and transcendence!

Having a Styling Duel with the Sovereign represents a stylist’s ambition, desire to win, and spiritual transcendence. In peaceful times, a Styling Duel is the ultimate way to ignite the primal passions of stylists.

Go! Embrace the untamed spirit within you. Challenge the Sovereigns with fierce, unadulterated duels and claim your victory!

Chapter Excerpt

Sovereign Challenge 1: Conquer the Soverieng’s Henchmen!

The Sovereign has many followers. If you want to challenge the Sovereign, you must conquer its followers first! The stronger the Sovereign is, the more formidable their followers are, so don’t take them lightly!

Sovereign Challenge 2: Earn the Right to Duel!

Each Sovereign has unique preferences and requirements (These quirks are part of their nature and whatever the Sovereign demands is correct!) Carefully discern their preferences and demonstrate that you are the most worthy duelist!

Sovereign Challenge 3: Face the Sovereign With All You Have!

Finally, it’s time for the showdown with the Sovereign. When you reach this step, you’ll be just one step away from success! Shine brightly to seize the crown of the Sovereign. So long as you give it your all, the world will submit to you!

Wardrobe’s Stylist: Special Interview with Cadenceborn

Located on the first floor of the Stylist Guild in Florawish

Interviewers: Dada and Bebe, staff from the Stylist’s Guild Florawish Branch

Interviewee: Kilo the Cadenceborn

First, we would like to express our profound gratitude to Mr. Kilo, the Cadenceborn, for his invaluable support in completing the Compendium. We are honored to have him join us for this interview.

Q: During the completion of the Compendium, Mr. Kilo, you demonstrated exceptional knowledge of styling history. We are very curious about how you came to possess such knowledge. Could you share your experiences with us? 

A: For us Cadenceborn, such knowledge comes naturally. As the children of Florawish often jest, “Grandpa! Your grandpa’s grandpa’s favorite poet, Kilo, has penned yet another verse.” You see, we Cadenceborn are granted long lives, during which we witness countless styles and fashions. One might consider us living archives of styling history. Furthermore, our mission is to capture human lives and emotions through our poetry. Clothing, being a direct expression of human existence and sentiment, naturally aligns with our goals. Over the centuries, this focus has allowed me to amass an extensive body of knowledge about clothing. 

Q: It seems not every stylist can use your unique method for practicing styling. What advice would you give to stylists who want to learn more about clothing?

A: True, not everyone has the advantage of a lengthy lifespan. However, I recommend venturing out to explore more. Traveling across Miraland can immensely enrich your life and expose you to diverse styles from different regions. After I finish my latest poem about Wishfield, I may travel again to absorb more of the world. While working on the Compendium, it reignited my appreciation for the Linlang Empire’s styles - the flowing cloud patterns on their dressed used to inspire me to write timeless verses. Also, if you’re keen on learning about significant outfits in Wishfield’s history, assist me in gathering clean Dews of Inspiration. In return, I’ve prepared many sketches and poems detailing their histoires as rewards. 

Q: Thank you so much for sharing, Mr. Kilo! Could you share your thoughts on working with the Stylist’s Guild? 

A: The staff at the Stylist’s Guild are fantastic. You bring a lot of fresh ideas, and working with you guys always brings surprises! My biggest takeaway is… If I had enough Dews of Inspiration, I wouldn’t hit so many creative walls. Honestly, it’s all that darn Dark Essence causing trouble!

Notice Board (Upstairs)

Founder and First Consulate General: Sonam Lifetime Honorary Consulate General: Dexter

Since the Heaven Fall and The Dark roamed unchecked, eight young people were guided by the remnants of the divine light. They acquired the power of Whim, becoming the first stylists, and later being revered as The Eight. The Eight were led by Dexter. In order to seal away The Dark, Dexter died in battle against them.

Her daughter, Sonam, inherited her legacy and founded the Stylist’s Guild in 117 A.W. The Stylist’s Guild aims to develop Whim and eradicate The Dark, while providing stylists with comprehensive support. Over the following decades, the business of the Stylist’s Guild expanded and evolved into various departments. In 143 A.W., the departments were renamed, with the original Stylist’s Guild becoming part of the Coordination Division. Subsequently, the Whim Department was established to manage all Divisions, with its leader named the Consulate General.

Match for the God: Chronology of Ability Outfits

Mainstream academic theories posit that the development of Ability Outfits occurred in three stages.

In the distant first stage, The Eight, guided by the gods, created Ability Outfits, providing Whim with a tangible object to rest upon. From then on, the old title of "Whimancer", used to refer to those who could control Whim, was abandoned, and a more endearing term, "Stylist", was adopted. Powerful Ability Outfits allow their wearers to leap over mountains and rivers, move rocks and hills, and even control time and space. The Eight used Ability Outfits to resist The Dark, bringing a thousand years of peace to Miraland.

In the second, a time of national reconstruction, Miraland ushered in an era of Ability Outfits. More and more Ability Outfits were created, encompassing a wide variety-some designed for battle, while many were crafted for daily life and reconstruction. Ability Outfits became essential to the rebuilding efforts across all nations.

However, the powerful nature of Ability Outfits also escalated conflicts, and brutal wars broke out between several countries. This is regarded as the third stage in the development of Ability Outfits.

The emergence and development of Ability Outfits have changed the historical trajectory of Miraland, reflecting the light and dark sides of human nature. However, Ability Outfits are inherently neutral; their use for light or darkness depends on the choices of their wearers.

Saga of The Eight: Preface

(Some words are intelligible due to wear and tear)

…

At that time, the land was shattered, with shadows looming large.

The gods were all gone. The screams of pain were endless.

We were doomed to wander the earth. Those I encountered would kill

me.

…

The sons who trod the sorrowful earth came to the place of redemption.

At the end stood a temple, where redemption was hidden.

And so, the sons listened and watched.

Then, the sons returned.

…

As The Eight called, hundreds of disciples answered. Cheers thundered.

Hearts soared.

The shadows were dispelled.

The new generation stood ready

…

Dada’s Wish Card

I will do my best to help all visiting stylists, even if it means reading lengthy documents. Since I’m working this hard, I hope the next funding application to the HQ will be approved!

Bebe’s Wish Card

I hope my sister and I can forever stay in the Stylist’s Guild to help stylists in need. However, I wish my sister would recommend me less to speak in public at events…

The Sovereign of the Slums

To the Eternal Sovereign of Elegant, Glorier

Written in 997 A.W.

This year marks the tenth year since Glorier's disappearance. The legendary life of the Sovereign of Elegant did not conclude with finality. However, when dust lingers in the air for too long, it is bound to settle.

I often reminisce about the Styling Duel that brought Glorier fame, held in front of the mansion of the previous Sovereign of Elegant (to avoid unnecessary disputes, the real name is omitted here). At that time, I was one of the novice stylists who admired and visited the Sovereign almost every day. However, this was challenging, and I often returned without any valuable advice. That day, Glorier wore a black gown, her fiery red hair like a blade piercing the false air, announcing the true arrival of grace.

Glorier is revered as the most beloved Sovereign of Elegant among generations of stylists in Wishfield; even ordinary people often felt her care and loved being close to her. However, ten years ago, Glorier vanished under mysterious circumstances. A decade later, even the most seasoned investigators of the Stylist's Guild have only been able to trace her last known whereabouts to the Wishing Woods, with no further leads to be found.

Perhaps we have to face the fact that she's gone, but we will remember this Sovereign who came from the lower class, and her bright smile and noble spirit will always inspire us.

Daisy Inn

Angle’s Adventure Diary

Florawish

The boat I was on capsized in a rainstorm, but fortunately, I was rescued by the people of Florawish. Vercelli, the mayor, kindly arranged a room for me at the Daisy Inn to recuperate. The owner of the inn is a young man named Klay, who’s a really stand-up guy. My experience tells me that his code and integrity were forged on the battlefield.

I met a local man named Tiziano who’s a member of the Stylist’s Guild’s field team. He told me to enjoy my time here and suggested that I experience the local custom of wish-making. A local man, Mr. Cicchetto, gifted me a piece of Wishflight Paper, which is something he does for every new visitor in town. At first, I thought I’d decline his offer. After all, it’s been ten years since Goya fell sick, and I still haven’t found a cure, and if I could cure her by simplying wishing away her ailement, then this journey wouldn’t have been necessary.

Despite this, I still made a wish with the Wishflight Paper – a small gesture to showmy gratitude to the people of Florawish for saving me. One night, Klay found me sitting by the inn’s fireplace, clearly troubled. I told him the truth about my journey. To my surprise, he’d heard the name of a cure on the battlefield. However, it had been uttered by an enemy, a knight from the Empire of Light. Even so, it was a precious clue after years of fruitless searching.

I’ll depart for the Empire of Light tomorrow. I should also take a few pieces of Wishflight Paper with me. It’s time to embrace some new ideas.

Road to Success: Interviews with a Hundred Entrepreneurs

The Eccentric Cosmetics Merchant: Timis

Interest in cosmetics among stylists can be traced back a thousand years. Whether it’s bold, exaggerated eyeliners or a rosy blush that brightens one’s face, cosmetics have always been an indispensable part of styling.

In recent years, stylists have continuously innovated with cosmetics. In this rapidly changing field of styling, a new brand has sparked heated discussion – Timis Cosmetics from the Twinmoon Kingdom.

The brand was created by the Fairy girl Timis, whose innovative ideas have made her a bright spot in the world of cosmetics. Her ingenious use of materials, novel combinations, and distinctive packaging set Timis Cosmetics apart from other brands.

However, behind every success lies unseen hardship. Driven by her uncompromising standards for product quality, Timis has invested heavily in raw materials and research and development. As she puts it, she’s “often in a Bling crisis!” However, even in the most difficult times, Timis never gave up on her dream. Her near-stubborn persistence moves anyone who sees her.

The Miraland Wander’s Guide: Wishfield

Open a map of Miraland and you can easily find Silken Lake. To the north of the Lake lies Wishfield. It’s hard to believe that this is part of the Heartcraft Kingdom, considering the vast, uninhabited forest that separates it from the capital of Heartcraft.

Look at the Empire of Light to the west of Wishfield, where even the fish in the sea know about the Emperor’s desire to conquer the world. And look at the Starhail Federation to the east, where they only read one kind of document – business contracts. Yet, nestled between them, the tiny Wishfield possesses a rare utopian quality. The Linlang Empire in the north seems delicate in comparison, while the Terra Alliance to the west is too wild.

There was a sociological theory suggesting that the emergence of Whim had endowed people with god-like power, thereby validating the gods’ downfall. Yet, in Wishfield, where two branches of faith, three races, and four distinct landscapes coexist, there exists a remarkable harmony. Isn’t this a perfect equilibrium between divine influence and human desire?

Dream Warehouse

The Dream Warehouse Management Pact

In the presence of The Wishing One, this contract is entered into by the human representative – the Dream Warehouse Keeper – and the representative of the Faewish Sprites – the Wish Master.

Article One: Faewish Sprites

1.The Faewish Sprites may enter into any room in the Dream Warehouse at any time.

2. The Faewish Sprites shall have the right to take the Wishing Orb, but shall not take any Wishing Items.
3. If, under special circumstances, the Faewish Sprites need to take a Wishing Item, they shall obtain the Keeper’s permission beforehand.
4. The Faewish Sprites may not hand over the Wishing Orb to other third -party organizations or powers, nor maliciously damage the Wishing Orb.
5. The Faewish Sprites shall have the duty to inform The Wishing One of the humans’ wishes and fulfill their responsibilities as the descendants. (Annulled)

Article Two: Humans

1.Humans may not enter the Dream Warehouse without the permission of the Keeper

2, Humans shall have the right to store Wishing Items and wishes in the Dream Warehouse, but this shall be executed by the Keeper of the Dream Warehouse.

3. Humans shall have the right to retrieve the Wishing Items at any time, but this shall be executed by the Keeper of the Dream Warehouse.
4. Humans must comply with the management regulations of the Dream Warehouse and may not disturb the normal order of the Dream Warehouse.

2. The position of Keeper shall only be taken by a human from Florawish.
3. The Keeper shall be elected by vote, with both humans and the Faewish Sprites participating. The individual with the highest number of votes shall be elected as the Keeper.

The Dream Warehouse: Witness of History and Symbol of Hope

-For eons, The Wishing One blessed all beings with his supreme divine power.

People worship him, revere him, and follow him, seeking redemption through wishes in an era of divine conflict.

To express their reverence and love for The Wishing One, the people of Old Florawish and the Faewish Sprites made a sacred covenant and jointly built the Dream Warehouse.

This miracle land, built by humans and Faewish Sprites, witnessed the glory of The Wishing One.

The Warehouse stores people’s wishes, collects their joys and sorrows, and records their life paths. Meanwhile, it acts as a bridge connecting The Wishing One and the human world, conveying people’s longing for wishes to The Wishing One, and praying for their care and blessings.

As the influence of The Wishing One grew, people’s faith in him deepened. To fulfill the increasing number of wishes, the Dream Warehouse expanded continuously, eventually reaching its current impressive scale.

Lost Wish Memoirs: Part Three

Some ancient wishes that were lost or destroyed due to unavoidable factors are transcribed here in the text.

-Only Faewish Sprites, not other strange-looking creatures, can become the descendants. I earnestly request an explicit statement from The Wishing One. – 47 A.W.

-O’ all might Wishing One, please do not abandon your people and your descendants. We hope that you will return and defeat those monsters. – 53 A.W.

-Although many elders say that The Dark will return, I hope that they won’t show their faces again. Please, please, please! Never appear again! – 115 A.W.

-O’ Wishing One, grant me courage, faith, tenacity, and resilience, and allow me to rebuild a new home on the ruins, and let the Great Wishtree grow strong. – 121 A.W.

-I hope I can become a stylist. That would be so cool! I want to become the ninth member of The Eight. – 124 A.W.

-I still haven’t acquired my Whim to become a stylist. But that’s okay, I can be a great tailor instead. I’ll make beautiful and fashionable clothes, and open a clothing store of my own. I’ll name it Marquess Boutique. -152 A.W.

- There are only three pieces of Wishflight Paper left by The Wishing One. If my Whimtech development fails a few more times, Wishflight Paper will become history. I hope I succeed next time! – 177 A.W.

Music Box Maintenance Notes

How to Disassemble

1.Unscrew the three screws on the bottom with a daisy screwdriver, then remove the base.

2.Loosen the clock spring then remove it. Remove the comb first, then remove the drum. Follow this exact sequence!

*Do not touch the speed controller. I was lucky to put it back in last time.

Repair Tips

1.If it makes a scratching sound like a nail on metal, rub the comb with Woolfruit (gently).

2.If the volume is low or there’s no sound at all, tighten the spring. (The force used should be on the same level as reeling in a fish.)

3.If a screw is missing, substitute it with a polished Buttoncone.

4.If the pitch is off, refer to the sound that Chimecadas make. You can find them near the Dream Warehouse.

Royal Art Records

(A letter is tucked inside a hardcover book named Royal Art Records. The paper has yellowed and the ink has faded. The content is as follows:

To my dearest Igrainne:

Today marks the third month since I arrived in Cicia. I haven’t received any replies to the letters I sent you in the first two months! What’s going on? When did Heartcraft Post become so unreliable? Have they lost the letters you sent me? This time, I’m sending you a book along with this letter. It’s too thick to get lost again!

I know you love literature, so when I saw this book at the bookstore, I decided to buy it for you! It’s thick, big, and looks quite esoteric. Just your type… Don’t get too emotional when you receive it, just remember to write to me more often! If you’re willing to tell me about the content of the book, I’m all ears.

Cicia is not as good as I imagined, but it’s not as bad as you said. I’m not afraid of those snobby nobles, nor do I care about what others think. Please allow me to find what I want here! Once I achieve my goal, I’ll return to Wishfield. That’s my hometown and where we met.

I miss you just as I always do. Glorier and Igrainne will be good friends for a lifetime!

--Your loving Glorier)

Nonoy’s Birthday Records: Not One to Miss!

On my 5^th birthday, Mom said she took me to the Great Wishtree to make my first-ever wish.

On my 6^th birthday, Mom said she tried to bake a cake for the first time, following Romito’s recipe. Its shape scared me to tears…

On my 7^th birthday, Mom said she took me to Marques Boutique to buy clothes. Marques Jr. hid behind his grandfather, and I hid behind Mom.

On my 8^th birthday, Mom said she took me cycling in the countryside, and I learned how to do it right away!

On my 9^th birthday, Mom gave me a sheet of Wishflight Paper, and I wished “to never be separated from Mom.”

On my 10^th birthday, Mom took me to the Dream Warehouse. The paper cranes were so big and beautiful. I wanted to become a keeper of the Dream Warehouse too! But I was worried I couldn’t do a good job.

On my 11^th birthday, I became a stylist! Mom bought me so many materials for making clothes that I couldn’t use them all, even if I worked all month!

On my 12^th birthday, I accidentally broke my music box and couldn’t put it back together. Mom didn’t sleep all night, and when I woke up, the music box was back on the table, good as new…

On my 13^th birthday, my wish was to discover the truth about my origins, but… I didn’t dare tell Mom.

On my 14^th birthday, Mom’s baking was a huge success! She made a beautiful and delicious Sky Crane cake: Nonoy Edition!

Greetings, I’m Nowin, the mayor’s secretary. It might look like I’m buried in work, but it’s all part of my master plan – trust me.

Florawish has had a significant influx of exiles from Umbraso lately. Their living conditions need immediate attention…. I need to put together a plan.

Completing a major task efficiently is the only way to avoid working overtime in the future.

The Song of Flowers and Wishes

In the radiant, ancient era of the gods,

Our ancestors built the grand Dream Warehouse.

Under the stars, they made a pact with the Faewish Sprites.

They used wisdom to stack stones and faith to build the warehouse.

The gods gifted us strength, and the descendants entered into a sacred pact with us.

Each wish protects this eternal covenant.

Our ancestors are holy and noble.

Our bloodline flows with glory.

All creatures are ever-growing.

We are the creators of dreams,

The inheritors of wishes,

Eternal as the stars.

Dear residents of Florawish:

Our neighboring country, Umbraso, has been unlawfully occupied by the Empire of Light, and its people have been displaced. Her Majesty has strongly condemned the Empire of Light’s aggression at an international conference, and has instructed the Florawish government to accept exiles and provide them with aid and shelter.

The town government is calling on all residents to welcome the exiles from Umbraso with compassion and openness, and to extend a helping hand to those in need. Any small act of kindness can have a significant impact on their lives.

The town government also urges all residents to remain vigilant against espionage activites by the Empire of Light. If any suspicious activities or individuals are discovered, please report them immediately.

Florawish Town Government Meeting Minutes 1002030279

Meeting Topic: The shipping issue of Floragale Greenhouse Air Spray in Stoneville.

1.Mr. Spindle, the owner of the Stoneville Dye Workshop and Chairman of the Stoneville Council, has repeatedly applied to increase the import volume of Floragale Greenhouse Air Spray (“the Spray”).

2. After investigating the matter, the relevant staff responded that 60& of the space on the cargo ship had already been allocated to Stoneville, and any increase would affect the import of large goods to Florawish.
3. Secretary Noma expressed concerns that if this reduces the import volume to Florawish, then it may cause dissatisfaction among the townspeople and intensify conflicts.
4. Mayor Grace stated that Floragale Cloth is a world-renowned product and its production must be guaranteed. As an important raw material for weaving, Floragale cannot be affected either. Meeting the interests of Stoneville as much as possible would greatly contribute to maintaining harmony across all of Wishfield. However, we should avoid harming the interests of Florawish.
5. It was finally decided in the meeting that Mayor Grace would apply to the royal family for a larger cargo ship.

Report to Commander, Florawish Guard Elie has Completed His Mission

In 609 A.W., an old man brought a wanted stylist to the Florawish Guards’ Office. The guards reviewed the files and confirmed the criminal’s identity as the Dark Flame of the Stylists of Dawn. 57 years prior, the Dark Flame had attempted to set the Great Wishtree on fire. Fortunately, the Kingdom Guards had arrived in time, and the Great Wishtree was saved. However, thousands of wishes hung upon the tree were burned to ashes. The commander of the Kingdom Guards immediately ordered the Dark Flame’s arrest, but the criminal escaped back to the Empire of Light, and all efforts to pursue him were in vain.

This time, the Dark Flame will be sent to Cicia to stand trial. The old man who captured the Dark Flame said to the guards as he was leaving, “Please, tell the commander of the Kingdom Guards that Elie has completed his mission.” It turns out that the old man’s name is Elie. 57 years ago, he was a member of the Florawish Guard. He was young back then, and he and his friends would go to the Great Wishtree to make wishes every day. After the Dark Flame escaped, he vowed to capture the fugitive. He was not a stylist and did not have an Ability Outfit, so he was no match for the Dark Flame, but he didn’t care. What followed was a 57-year-long pursuit. Elie traveled to five countries, held 37 jobs, was injured 19 times, and finally caught the Dark Flame’s trail in an abandoned mine. Despite being severely injured by Dark Flame’s Ability Outfit, Elie’s astonishing perservance and a burst of power in the dire situation enabled him to capture the barely living criminal.

That day, Elie went to the Great Wishtree and hung 798 Wish Cards on it – the wishes he made while pursuing the Dark Flame in foreign lands.

Files 12: The Disappearance Case of Stylist Dominic

Complainant: Noma

Case Description:
Dominic male; leader of the Golden Daisies; went missing in the year 987 A.W.

According to the complainant, Dominic and several stylists went out together, assuring his family that he would “accomplish a great cause” and asking them not to worry. He promised his sister Dorsey that he would return before her birthday and that “any birthday wish she had would come true.”

When Dorsey’s birthday finally came, Dominic did not return. Later on, Dorsey searched for Dominic in various locations where the Golden Daisies often gathered. However, she did not find any trace of him. His mother and daughter started to panic and quickly sought out the families of the stylists who had left with Dominic, only to discover that all those stylists were also missing without a trace. Noma realized the severity of the situation and reported it to the Kingdom Guards.

Upon verifying the matter, Noma’s statements were found to be true, and the Kingdom Guards officially launched an investigation.

Ray and Wing’s

Golden Spoon Guide: Summer Edition

Ray and Wing’s in the Heartcraft Kingdom’s Florawish has been rated as a restaurant with a Golden Spoon One-Star for the thirteenth time. I doubted whether Ray and Wing’s would be selected because I heard that the new chef, Fournier, is a short-tempered young man, and wondered if he could inherit the skills of his father, Romito and grandfather, El.

However, Fournier brought a surprise to the picky critics. He not only perfectly recreated Ray and Wing’s classic dishes – Sky Crane Cake and Good Wish Stew – but he also introduced a series of new, innovative dishes. With a unique vision and a resolute spirit of innovation, he breathed new life into this century-old restaurant.

If you sit on the second floor of Ray and Wing’s and gaze out the window, you can view Florawish’s eye-catching landmark, the Dream Warehouse. It’s said that the huge warehouse stores the wishes of all the people in Florawish, including Fournier’s wish when he was a child – hoping that his cooking would be as eagerly anticipated as his dreams.

Ray and Wing’s Customer’s Book

Feedback: The window seats are so hard to reserve. Do regular customers get priority? (star-eyed)

Reply: We treat all our guests equally. We hope you can book a seat by the window soon. You will not be disappointed by our dining experience.

Feedback: You advertise yourself as a handmade restaurant run by a chef, yet you don’t offer any options for taste customization. What a disappointment.

Reply: Asking for the Sky Crane Cake to be served without the cake does not fall within the scope of customization. This is very petty.

Feedback: It’s been a long time since I returned to Florawish. I came back to relive some memories, but now the old chef’s son is cooking, and the food doesn’t taste as good as before.

Reply: We’re sorry you do not agree with the food here. As for your comment, “doesn’t taste as good as before,” my father says, “That’s nonsense.”

Feedback: The food is delicious and the chef is handsome! I’ll be back next time! <3

Reply 1: I’m honored that you’re satisfied.

Reply 2: We welcome your positive reviews of our food, but our chef is off-limits!

Bibcoon’s Chuckle Club

The Queen’s True Wish! It Turn Out to Be…

The Queen recently paid a scheduled visit to Florawish and made a wish on the Great Wishtree with a Wish Card. She wished to remain “forever young and passionate,” explaining that she hoped to protect the entire Heartcraft Kingdom with vigor an enthusiasm. It sounds truly touching, but is this the Queen’s true intention?

According to our reporter’s in-depth investigation, the Queen has been frequently attending various social activities recently. The royal stylist, royal photographer, and royal coachman have all been replaced by individuals under 35. Additionally, her recent public schedule has been filled with various professional competitions, styling selections, and other activities. This series of actions inevitably raises speculation: Could the Queen’s expressed admiration for you youth and passion in her recent wish indicate that her ideal partner has already made an appearance?

Although the Heartcraft Kingdom enjoys peace, it is not without potential crises. Although the Prince Consort has been deceased for many years due to illness, it is entirely reasonable for the Queen to seek a confidant to share the burden. It is anticipated that the content of the Queen’s next wish in Florawish will be even more worth pondering and interpreting.

Dear readers, watch out for that day to come!

Road to Wishing Woods

Avenging The Wishing One in the War of Heavens: Volume I

Lately, human novels often focus on “time travel”, which can get a bit repetitive. But a story about a human and a Faewish Sprite traveling together is something fresh and exciting! Where can I find a pendant like that? I really want one!

Julian curled up at the forest’s edge outside of town. The silent trees and tree holes allowed the boy who’d just lost his grandfather to cry freely.

“Why does no one believe the pendant my grandfather left is a gift from The Wishing One?” Julian thought, remembering the mockery from the other boys as he clutched the pendant at his collar.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, something hit him hard from behind!

“Ouch!” Julian exclaimed as tears flew from his face. He quickly turned around and saw a…

“Faewish Sprite!” Julian yelled.

“My name is Magida, and I’m a guardian of the Wishing Woods, human! Why are you crying and kicking up a fuss?” The visitor circled Julian twice, drawing closer to inspect him. “Huh? Did you just mention The Wishing One?”

“My pendant! It’s a family heirloom gifted by The Wishing One!” Julian said, proudly pushing out his chest.

“Really? As a descendant of The Wishing One, I’ll need to verify that. Pardon me.” Magida flew closer and reached for the pendant.

“Hey, hold on!” Julian exclaimed, instinctively protecting the pendant. Their hands touched the golden rose pendant, causing it to glow brightly, engulfing them in light!

“Urgh…” Julian opened his eyes to find himself amidst ruins, next to a dazed Faewish Sprite.

“Where am I?” Julian shook the Faewish Sprite awake. They were amid remnants of divine power and The Dark carcasses. “It looks like a battlefield… When did a war break out? Did those pesky Pieceys attack again?”

“Something’s wrong…” Julian exclaimed, examining the torn fabric on the ground. “Grandpa taught me these patterns were popular in Old Florawish. They’re Flying Wish Patterns!”

“Wait! Human!” Magida asked a passing soldier-like figure, “What year of A.W. is it?”

The person frowned, thinking long before replying, “Pardon me, guardian, but I don’t understand… What is ‘A.W.’?”

Avenging The Wishing One in the War of Heavens: Volume II

To defeat your enemies, give your moves grand-sounding names and shout them out loud! It’s time to practice my “Supreme Descendant” skill! Now, “All Pieceys, Move Aside”!

“The frontline is perilous. Only those who can slay this trial monster within fifteen minutes can join the Divine Army!” The recruiting officer’s cold voice echoed in Julian and Magida’s ears. They gripped their swords, pointing them at the monster.

“Human, let’s god!” Magida said, taking a deep breath and channeling energy into the sword, which began to glow blue.

“Roar!!!” The monster howled as it lunged at Magida!

“Wishing Barrier!” Magida shouted as a blue shield of light formed, blocking the monster’s heavy blow!

“My turn! Take this!” Julian shouted as he lunged at the monster. “Wish Strike!” He yelled, slashing the monster’s tail with his glowing sword.

“Oh no, its tail regrew!” Magida frowned, leaping into the air. “Meteor Crash!”

White light clashed with the black tail mid-air. It still wasn’t enough. Julian and Magida steadied themselves, their eyes meeting in silent agreement for a combined tactic.

“The monster’s limbs keep regenerating. We’re running out of time!” Julian yelled.

“Let’s use our practice move. Together, we might succeed,” Magida said, nodding at Julian.

They raised their swords, feeling each other’s energy. Memories of practice flashed before them. “Do you want to meet The Wishing One?” The answer was clear.. They’d come to this era for this exact moment. Defeat the monster and earn the right to fight alongside The Wishing One! Magida’s sword glowed a pure blue, while Julian’s rose pendant shone gold, enveloping him in its light.

“Combined Strike, Holy Wish Judgement!”

Their combined shout echoed as a gold-blue beam pierced the monster, causing it to explode in dazzling light! When the dust settled, the monster’s dark body had mostly disintegrated. In the sacred aura, the stunned crowd remained silent.

“That power… it’s like The Wishing One’s aura…” the recruiting officer murmured, “I declare, Julian and Magida… have passed the trial!”

Message on the Front Page of a Mysterious Notebook

To the lucky finder of this notebook,

No matter what year it is and who you are, know that you’re holding something extraordinary, something that could revolutionize the world of styling. Unfortunately, I’m gravely injured and trapped in a cave swarming with Esselings. I can’t reveal this discovery myself to the world, and I fear I may fail to fulfill my teacher’s wishes.

Before setting off on her mission, my teacher entrusted me with several of her special concoctions and this notebook. She told me:

“If I must sacrifice myself to eradicate evil, do not mourn me. This is the culmination of all I’ve learned. Continuing my research will be the greatest comfort to me.

I spent the first half of my life immersed in the forest, attuning myself to the unique energies of living beings. As plants grow, they exhale the world’s essence, while minerals are formed through extremes of heat and cold. With the power of Whim, one can refine these essences of all things into fragrant substances I call ‘Whim Fragrance.’ When a stylist imbues themselves with ‘Whim Fragrance,’ their styling skills are significantly enhanced.”

While trapped here, I unexpectedly discovered that by using “Whim Fragrance” on Ability Outfits, they start to manifest powers that were previously unseen. If not for my teacher’s invention, I wouldn’t even have the chance to leave this letter behind.

The “Whim Fragrance” my teacher left me still remains. I have carefully placed it in this cave. I’m not afraid of death – our lives are long. I’m only worried that my teacher’s research will be buried here, never to see the light of day. This place was once blessed by The Wishing One, so I’ll make a wish: I hope “Whim Fragrance” finds its way to the future, helping stylists eradicate evil and freely unleash their creativity.

Companion’s Day

Florawish Stories: The Floof Statue That Lights Up the Night

Once upon a time, in a distant past, a story of companionship and guardianship unfolded in the town of Florawish. Back then, there was no Companion’s Day, and the streetlights didn’t shine all night long. Among the Kingdom Guards was a brave Floof, watchfully patrolling the night with its companion.

One evening, when even the moon was fast asleep, the Floof and its companion took to the alleyways, their eyes scanning every shadow… In the unlit corners of the town, danger was quietly brewing. The remnants of the Fanatic Wishers sneaked into Florawish under the cover of darkness and launched a surprise attack on the guards…

Without hesitation, the Floof leaped in front of its companion, taking the brunt of the fierce assault. Though injured, the clever Floof knew its mission wasn’t over – it had to seek help to stop the invaders! The Floof sprinted away, outpacing the pain of its wounds. The wind howled in its ears, the heat of urgency coursing through its veins.

The Floof ran and ran, tirelessly, until it found other guards and lead them back to the alleyway. They arrived just in time to save its friend and capture the fanatics. As the first light of dawn touched Florawish, the brave little Floof, now bearing deep scars, finally found a moment of peace… Exhausted, the Floof lay down and entered its eternal slumber.

To honor its courage, the townsfolk rebuilt the square and erected a statue of the Floof. From that night onward, every streetlight in Florawish stayed bright until dawn. And so, they say that one day, the Floof might wish to return home. And when it does, every road it walks will be bathed in light, guiding it back to where it will always be remembered and loved.

Florawish Children’s Poetry Collection: Running to You, Before Longing Begins

My Floof is the best Floof!

On those deep, moonless nights, Fluffy comes to your side,

And guards your sorrowful heart, awake till dawn.

Daises, chimney smoke, and a fluffy blue sky,

Every day I meet you,

Soft and new.

I devour all the pastries labeled with worry,

Making a pact with the tail.

Together, we run to you before the flood of longing begins.
