"Ahchoo!"
Aske sneezed.
"Caught a cold?" Nora asked by his side.
"It's probably a pollen allergy," Aske said.
"My flowers haven't even bloomed yet, where would the pollen come from?" Nora said somewhat speechlessly.
She continued watering the soil in the flowerbed, her movements graceful as if she were brewing tea. Aske sat nearby watching her.
Silently, Nora gazed at the flowerbed, and a golden pattern flashed through her pupils; soon after, sprouts broke through the soil at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the tip of the sprouts, two leaves sprang forth, followed by a third and fourth, gradually evolving into slender stems, and finally, small flower buds bulged from the tips.
Then they bloomed spectacularly.
Aske watched in amazement from behind, and under the continued stimulation of Nora's abilities, the flowers withered quickly, leaving only a dozen seeds behind.
"What is this?" the Squad Leader asked.
