While Nikki, Lunar, Bobo, Fu Su, and Momo walked through the Flower Field, Lunar warned them about the illusions that could trap them there, not for the first time. Bobo was puzzled by why she kept bringing it up, but Nikki asked if she had been there before. Lunar explained that she hadn't, but that she had heard of a legend saying that the Flower Field could make an illusion about the person you were thinking about. Bobo eagerly asked who Lunar was thinking of, excited to learn some gossip about the normally reserved girl, but she refused to reply.
Nikki was distracted then by a blue bird, though she wasn't sure whether it was real or an illusion. Lunar urgently asked her which way it had gone, then recited "Mountains, pavilions, and sounds of rain. The Blue Bird carries branch into your dream..." in a whisper before running off. Her only explanation was that it was an emergency and that they should not follow her. Nikki, Momo, and Bobo discussed what could have happened, Momo anxiously voicing the concern that she might not come back. Fu Su interjected, though, explaining that she had just gone to meet somebody important.

- Lunar: The Flower Field is a mysterious place in the Cloud Empire. People may get lost easily in the mist, and it's said that it creates illusions, so please be careful...
- Bobo: Got it! You've reminded us for millions of times. It's unusual that Lunar talks so much today, huh?
- Lunar: ......
- Momo: Bobo, you're the one who talks the most! I just love to hear Lunar talking.
- Lunar: ......
- Nikki: Lunar, have you been here before?
- Lunar: No, but I've heard of a legend about this place... It's said that the Flower Field can create a hallucination of the person you're thinking of...
- Nikki: The person you're thinking of?
- Bobo: Amazing! Who are you thinking of, Lunar?
- Momo: Bobo, you are so fond of gossip!
- Bobo: What's wrong with gossiping? It's already a hard journey, and we have to take such an annoying gluttonous cat! We really need gossip to relax! Lunar rarely talks about herself. My soul of gossip has been suppressed for so long!
- Lunar: ......(Silence)
- Nikki: Ah! ...
- Momo: Nikki, what's going on? What are you fussing about?
- Nikki: I just...I think I just saw a big blue bird, but I'm not sure whether it's an illusion or not...
- Lunar: A blue bird?! Where did it go?!
- Nikki: To the east... Hmm? What's wrong with the bird?
- Lunar: Mountains, pavilions, and sounds of rain. The Blue Bird carries branch into your dream...(Whisper)
- Nikki: Eh, Lunar?!
- Lunar: I...I have to go because of an emergency.
- Nikki: Where are you going? Let's go together.
- Lunar: No!
- Nikki: Lunar!
- Lunar: Thank you...But please don't follow me. I'll be fine. I'll be right back...

- Bobo: What happened to Lunar? She left in such a hurry. It's the first time I saw her being so nervous...
- Momo: I don't know why I feel so strange...Will Lunar never come back?
- Bobo: Shhh! Momo, you'll jinx it! Don't talk nonsense!
- Nikki: I'm worried, too... Will she be alright?

In the year 670, Lunar played Weiqi, or Go, against her uncle Sue. She lost to him repeatedly, and demanded that they compete in playing the Guqin instead, at which he told her that he would definitely be the one to lose.
She showed him a new dress she had designed. Though Sue had some criticisms, he praised the dress, saying that he thought many girls from Cloud would like it. He asked if she was determined to become a designer, and she told him she was. However, Sue warned her that her mother would become lonely if she became a designer, since she would end up traveling all over the world in order to refine her skill and seek out the best materials.

- Lunar: I...I give up...
- Sue: Haha, Lunar lost to me again!
- Lunar: Uncle, you know I'm not good at the game of Weiqi. Why don't we compete in playing Guqin!
- Sue: Haha, Lunar, you caught me! If it is for Guqin, I will definitely lose to you. I give up!
- Lunar: Alright...Uncle, this is a new dress I designed. What do you think?
- Sue: Huh, you get a new one so soon. Let me see... ......
- Lunar: Hmmm? What's wrong? (Nervous)
- Sue: The design of cuffs and collar seems to be a little complicated, but it's much better than the last one. The surprising combination of yarn and fabric makes the dress gorgeous and elegant. I believe a lot of Cloud Empire girls will like it. Lunar, are you really determined to become a designer?
- Lunar: Yeah, I love to design clothes for people!
- Sue: There is no limit to your future, Lunar. But your mom will be so lonely.
- Lunar: Lonely? Why?
- Sue: Yes...As you go furtherer in your style skill, your horizon will become broadened as well. At that time, you will be traveling all over the world. To find the most precious material, to meet the best designers and stylists, and to reach the ultimate-- It's a point where only the very best can see.
- Lunar: Ultimate?... What kind of treasure would that be?
- Sue: Haha, I wish I would know. It's a bit early, you don't have to think too much. But I can tell you when you stand atop the mountain of style, your power would be no less than that of a king. By the way, I've also designed a costume for the Cloud Empire celebration. How about we have a competition, niece?
- Lunar: Great! What reward will I get if I win?
- Sue: You cocky little girl! If you win, I'll for sure give you a special reward!

Lunar beat her uncle Sue in a styling battle, and asked him for the reward he had promised her. He handed her a small blue bird, telling her that it had appeared in his bag the last time he had been down to the Tower of Zen to pray. He told her that it was a symbol of love in the Cloud Empire, since there was a legend that said the Blue Bird would spend its whole life searching for the Fire Phoenix. After the Blue Bird meets the Fire Phoenix, nothing would be able to separate them.
Lunar poked fun at him, saying he needed the blue bird more than she did since he was still single. He expressed outrage, possibly sarcastically, but then revealed he was single because of a promise he had made.

- Sue: You are sure a smart girl. I admit defeat.

- Sue: Haha, don't worry. I'll give it to you right now. Here... Be careful! You don't want to frighten it.
- (In the dim blue light, a cyan young bird lies in Lunar's hands)
- Lunar: Wow! What a beautiful bird. What is it?
- Sue: Blue Bird. Last time when I return from the pray in the Tower of Zen, I found it in my bag... A blue bird is auspicious, and it's also a symbol of love in Cloud.
- Lunar: Love?
- Sue: As the legend has it, Blue Bird spends all its life looking for Fire Phoenix. Once they meet, nothing can separate them till the end of the world.
- Lunar: I don't quite understand. But speaking of love, you're still single, so it seems you need it more than I do.
- Sue: Naughty girl! Don't laugh at an old single man even you're young! It's difficult to define love. I'm not married because of a promise, but you... you'll understand it one day...

In her yard at night, Lunar talked to herself, wondering if she would ever understand love. She directed the question at her blue bird, which she had named Blue, but the bird only chirped. She reflected, coming to the decision that she didn't need love since she would become a designer instead. She also expressed curiosity about the world outside Cloud, which her mother had always told her was terrible.
The bird chirped along, comforting her and making her feel as though she was being listened to. Suddenly, Blue flew up into the air, and Lunar looked up to see a fireball shoot through the night sky. Alarmed, she quickly followed her bird.

- Lunar: Love...I will understand it?
- Lunar: Still don't get it. Blue, do you get it?
- Blue Bird: Chirp! Chirp!
- Lunar: Forget it! I don't know if you can understand me anyway.
- Lunar: But I don't think it's a big deal if life is without love, because becoming a designer is my biggest goal.
- Lunar: I want to grow up quickly. I haven't been to any country other than Cloud Empire. Mom always tells me the outside world is terrible.
- Lunar: There is a Pigeon where you can find many strange species, North is always in a war, Ruin people are hardly humans, Lilith people keep dreaming, and folks in wasteland only eat meat...
- Lunar: Is the world outside really that strange?
- Blue Bird: Chirp! Chirp!
- Lunar: Although you don't understand, thanks for answering me. I don't know why, but I can easily speak my mind when I'm without you...
- Blue Bird: Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp, chirp -- (Flies into the air)
- Lunar: What's wrong? Blue? (Looks up)
- (A fireball shoots through the night sky)
- Lunar: Huh?! Is that a shooting star which as the legend says can make wishes come true?
- Blue Bird: Chirp! Chirp! -- (Flies away)
- Lunar: Blue! Where are you going?! What should I do...
-
Follow and see!
-
It's late... Maybe it's dangerous...
- Lunar: It seems to be flying toward the door! I have to go there right now!
- Lunar: No! Blue is an important gift my uncle gave me. I can't just leave it!

Lunar followed the blue bird to the door of her house and noticed Louie's body lying at the doorstep. He was unconscious and stained with blood, which worried Lunar. She waited until morning, at which point he finally woke up and expressed worry over his crashed helicopter. She told him not to move in order to prevent his wounds from re-opening, and they introduced themselves to each other. Louie revealed he was from the North Kingdom.

- Lunar: A man?! What is going on?!
- Lunar: Hey, wake up! Hey! ...

- Lunar: He seems wounded! I have to help him.

- Wounded Young Man: Um...(Opens eyes)
- Lunar: You finally wake up!
- Wounded Young Man: What happened to me? Yes. My helicopter crashed. I opened the parachute. (Rises up)
- Lunar: Don't move! Your wounds will reopen.
- Wounded Young Man: You saved me? Thank you. What is your name?
- Lunar: Lunar...
- Wounded Young Man: Lunar? What a special name. Is this place by any chance the Cloud Empire?
- Lunar: Of course, it is. Who are you? You don't look like a local here.
- Wounded Young Man: I'm Louie from the North Kingdom.

- Lunar: Ah, Yeah! Your clothes look very special. I've never seen a design like this! I'm sorry, but may I take a closer look?
- Louie: ...Ah...I see...Okay...(Embarrassed)
- Louie: She likes my clothes rather than me...Now I begin to doubt my charm...(Whisper)
- Lunar: Huh, what did you say?
- Louie: Ah, I said...
-
Why did you save me?
-
Do you want to become a designer?
-
What's your age?
- Lunar: Seeing you lying in front of my house unconscious, I couldn't just leave you in the lurch...
- Lunar: Yeah! I wanna be the best designer in the world!
- Lunar: Mom told me a woman shouldn't easily reveal her age to others!
- Louie: ......
- Lunar: The use of leather as the main material produces a strong outline, while metal is pervasively employed for decoration. I used to think that metal is too stiff,
- Lunar: but I'm surprised that it can make such a delicate and gorgeous decoration. And about the pattern on the medal, is it the totem of the North Kingdom?
- Louie: Hee! Haha...Hahaha...
- Lunar: Huh? Why are you laughing?
- Louie: I am sorry, but I cannot help it... Haha... I never expect to meet a woman like you...
- Lunar: Me?...What about me?
- Louie: The North Kingdom has an abundance of harsh ladies. This is the first time I meet such a beautiful and quiet girl like you, despite the style-holic thing... Haha...

- Louie: Ah, are you here for me?
- Lunar: No! I'm looking for Blue. It sticks to you all the time, but it my bird...
- Louie: Haha, I have no idea why it likes me so much. By the way, it has really beautiful feathers. In the North Kingdom, we only see goshawks flying in the air.
- Lunar: Blue is quite special. My uncle gave it to me as a gift. I hadn't seen a bird like it, either.
- Louie: Alright, but I think Blue looks quite like you.
- Lunar: Like me?! How come?
- Louie: That's true. You are just like Blue, pure, clear, tolerant, and eager for the sky
- Louie: Although Blue looks weak now, it will grow up and fly freely in the blue sky.
- Louie: Sooner or later, I will have to go back to the North Kingdom and be apart with her. I really don't want to.

- Lunar: But...Aren't the fights dressing competitions? How could that cause bloodshed?
- Louie: Pfff! Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to laugh at you...
- Louie: You are still young and there is something you don't have to understand. It's just that this is a complex world, and there is more than one reason why people fight.
- Lunar: Now that it's dangerous there, why are you going back?
- Lunar: Why not stay here in Cloud Empire?
- Louie: Cloud Empire? It's great here. Mountains and waters, flowers and grass, colorful birds, Blue, and you... But the North Kingdom is where I belong.
- Louie: the North Kingdom is really cold in winter. We have to wear knee-high boots in order to go through the vast snowfield.
- Louie: In cities, people's entertainment is ice sculpture. A great artist can carve a real house, people can even live in there during winter.
- Louie: If you want to skate, any pool will do...It is so cold that the tree is always bare, but there is a kind of flower blooming in the coldest night, covered by ice, but still as red as fire......
- Louie: Also, the North Kingdom has delicious hot pot. If the war ends someday, I really want to show you my hometown.
- Lunar: Okay! That's a deal! Uncle said, if I become the world's best designer, I'll be as powerful as a king. At that time, I'll announce the end of the war!
