Summer campus
Summer arrives early at St. Angrecam Academy, with the story shifting to the perspective of Erika Yaegaki, the head of the household. At the end of spring, an Amitié companion suddenly disappeared, plunging Suo Shiraha into sorrow; Erika, who is close to her, notices her low mood and tries to help her overcome her loss.
New relationships
Chidori Takasaki (たかさき ちどり) After transferring to the academy, she became Erika's Amitié partner. Chidori previously worked on stage and excelled in ballet and singing; She candidly asks about things she's interested in, and often gets mismatched with the equally eccentric Erika. Their interactions push Erika from being used to being alone to facing new companionship.
Gameplay and Versions
This is the second installment in the Four Seasons visual novel series. Story choices affect the ending, and multiple endings can be unlocked. The Steam English release, developed by Innocent Grey and published by JAST, was launched on July 26, 2018, offering English and Chinese Simplified interfaces with subtitles, and full Japanese voice acting.
New partners and those who have lost them
Chidori transitions into the Summer Arc, and her past experience in theater performances has made her skilled in ballet and singing. She and Erika became Amitié, two people with unique personalities who initially struggled to reconcile. Erika also noticed Suo's hidden sadness: Mayuri left school without explaining the reason, while Tachibana continued to care for Suou as Amitié.
Campus Connections in the Summer
Mei avoids talking about Mayuri in front of Suo, and Ringo reduces her conversations with Suo and Erika because of the same matter. Dalia is busy assisting transfer students and Erika, while Nerine is considering the succession of the Nicene Society; These everyday relationships intertwine with the reasoning behind small incidents at the academy.
Handheld theme songs and reading tools
The PSP/Vita version version "Natsuzora no Hikari" was released on October 22, 2015, with lyrics by Reiko Takahashi, music by MANIO, and vocals by Suzuyu. Players answer questions based on clues during reasoning segments and can arrange the playback order of their audio collections as they please.
The shared secret behind the rabbit shed incident
After Chidori repeatedly questioned Mayuri, she was punished by cleaning the rabbit shed, and Erika was also dragged into the mess. When the baby rabbit disappeared, Erika stepped in to help Chidori, who was under suspicion, explaining that the rabbit had left on its own; In fact, the young rabbit had already died of illness and was buried by Chidori. Neither of them wants Su Fang, who hopes to care for the young rabbit, to be further hurt, so they keep the truth as a shared secret.
Reading the play and the loss of friends
Daria suggested that Erika participate in the reading play. Suo wrote 'Rapunzel,' with Erika as Rapunzel, Nerina as the prince, and Chidori as the witch. The script once disappeared, but in reality, it was just kindly moved to an underground theater; Erika searches for Suo Fang's script and, after the performance, accidentally sheds tears; Chidori hands her a handkerchief.
Hookman's explanation and clues in the painting
Rumors spread at the academy about Hookman, a green-clad hook wielder. During the investigation, Daria collapsed in an empty classroom, prompting Erika to resolve to uncover the truth. She explains to classmates that the incident is a misidentification between a senior student's Liver Test and a raincoat color, but retains the fact that Suo secretly entered the art room: Suo worries that Mayuri's painting will be discarded and is searching for information about it. The prompt from the arrangement of paintings and photos discovered by Chidori helps them continue their investigation into Mayuri.
Chidori's accident and lover's branch
Chidori initially learned ballet to get her busy parents to pay attention, but later forced her juniors to perform on stage, causing her to get injured and unable to dance again. After Tachibana sprained and Chidori took over Princess Aurora, she blamed herself again and told Erika about the past. In the 'Love Branch,' the two decide to share responsibilities and become lovers after the stage; Erika finally sings with Chidori, facing the shadow left by her sister's teasing from the past.
Choices in other endings
In the 'Friends Above Lovers Less Than Enough Branch,' although Erika realizes she likes Chidori, she still lets her return to her parents, choosing not to promise to continue the relationship. During the farewell branch, the two couldn't be together, and Erika touched the name in Chidori's personal notebook. Different outcomes each preserve their own farewells and interactions.
Revision of reasoning prompts
Shan Cai said that the summer chapter retains daily puzzles, and to address the spring chapter's reliance on player knowledge, hints are pre-written into the text and then players deduce.
Ballet terminology and training details
The summer ballet description first draws material from experienced practitioners, confirming training, techniques, and movement names; The terminology reading references the interviewee's classroom experience.
Dining description and action revision
During the 2015 PC Summer Edition production, Shimizu slightly adjusted the writing style to match the protagonist Erika, using delicious dining descriptions as the backstage theme. When Shannai inspected the dining scene, she changed the act of picking food from the other's plate with a fork to bringing it to the other's mouth, making Erika, who originally wanted to tease Chidori, feel shy.
The focus and composition of the summer chapter
During the 2015 PC promotion of "FLOWERS Summer Chapter," Sugi Sugi Mizuki referred to suggestions from other yuri brand promoters and shifted the focus from the series to the characters Erika and Chidori. Shan Cai also directs the gaze in the illustrations toward each other, rather than facing the audience outside the frame.
