Ep. 8: Akari and Akatsuki navigate Neo-Venezia's Festa del Bocolo flooding to deliver roses to Alicia.

During Neo-Venezia's annual flooding, Akari recognizes the Festa del Bocolo, where women receive red roses. Akatsuki buys numerous roses for Alicia, believing a single bloom cannot convey his infinite love, and asks Akari for help carrying them. They encounter Aika, who also intends to give a rose to Alicia. A saleswoman explains the tragic Manhome legend behind the festival, prompting Akari to reflect on enduring love. Aika meets Al, who gifts her an uncut red gemstone called the Eye of the Rose. Akatsuki and Akari eventually find Alicia, but Akatsuki becomes too nervous to present the flowers. Alicia assumes he gave them to Akari and leaves them alone. Akatsuki chases after her, accidentally spilling the roses. Akari describes the floating blooms as his feelings reaching Alicia. In gratitude for her assistance, Akatsuki gives Akari her first Bocolo rose.
