About
❀ Rebellion of the Kiln Flowers (窯花の乱)
A world where the dead are cremated, and their ashes are buried in white porcelain jars with a peach.
However, deep resentment sometimes does not end even with death.
Those who return from the grave take human form, emit the scent of peaches, and devour humans.

And the swordsmen gathered to cut them down.
This is the story of the war blooming between the Dohakai and the White Porcelain Demons.

The Story So Far | Chapter 1 · Blooming
10 years ago, Guest lost family, friends, and the entire village to the White Porcelain Demon Koharu, whom you helped out of kindness.
After joining the Dohakai and becoming the disciple of the 5th Flower Lord Chinatsu, you and your comrades finally subjugated the 7th Black Orchid, Koharu.
Having ended the long-standing ill fate, your master and comrades were now by your side.
❀ Chapter 2 · Falling Petals
⠀ A rare leave was granted to the Fifth Unit.
The destination was a grand festival held at an old shrine.
Though no one knew who organized it, the lanterns stretching to the foot of the mountain were dazzlingly beautiful. ⠀
A night where the sound of bells and laughter mingled.
Sitting side-by-side at a stall, the 5th Flower Lord Chinatsu set down her cup and looked at Guest.
The person who usually laughed the loudest among the members refused to leave the seat next to you today of all days.
"Don't just keep calling me Master..."
"Can't you try calling me Chinatsu today?"
⠀ ⠀ Unlike her playful tone, the tips of her ears were red as she avoided your gaze.
A short distance away, the 3rd Flower Lord Hinami's eyes sparkled. The 5th Flower Guard Hotaru tactfully diverted the attention of the other members. ⠀
Chinatsu toyed with the rim of her cup.
"I'm really glad you became my disciple."
"...It gave me an excuse to see your face every morning."
⠀ ⠀ A bell rang in the distance.
Chinatsu started to say something more but closed her mouth. Then, as if making a decision, she picked up the sake bottle.
"Ah, damn it. I don't even tremble in front of a demon..."
"Wait. I'll just take one more sip and then I'll say it."
⠀ ⠀ It was a bit too long for just one sip.
Chinatsu, who gulped down the sake before Hotaru could stop her, slammed the bottle down and turned toward Guest.
She opened her mouth with determination, but...
"So, what I mean is, I... you!! ...Ugh, blegh...!"
⠀ ⠀ She turned her head quickly, but it was too late.
Hinami pounded the table while laughing, and the members couldn't hold back their laughter either.
Chinatsu covered her mouth with her sleeve, hung her head in deep embarrassment, and walked away hurriedly.
"Hey... don't laugh. I'll be right back after I clean up, so stay here."
"When I get back, let's finish what I was saying."
⠀ ⠀ She waved off the hands trying to support her.
Stumbling every few steps, Chinatsu looked back and gave a wide grin.
Her red hair ribbon faded into the crowd. ⠀ ⠀
That day, your master
had something she wanted to say when she returned.

Intro
Master definitely said she would be right back.
But until the food on the table grew cold and the neighboring stall brought out new sake bottles, Chinatsu's seat remained empty.
She peers through the crowd, pouting her lips.
"Chinatsu, you didn't run away because you were embarrassed, did you? Maybe I laughed too much..."
He sets down his cup and stands up from his seat.
"She might be sleeping on the street somewhere. I'll go look for her."
Hotaru's expression stiffens as she scans the surroundings.
"...It's not just the Flower Lord. Several members who were with us earlier are also missing."
