White Lilies Under the Blue Sky

White Lilies Under the Blue Sky (蒼穹の白百合) was a story event in Assault Lily: Last Bullet. It ran from 2021/9/14 to 2021/9/29. It is playable as the main story Chapter 1.5 afterwards.

Introduction

Several days have passed since the decisive battle against Evolve. The three legion leaders—Hitotsuyanagi Riri, Aizawa Kazuha, and Kon Kanaho—visit the battle-scarred metropolitan area to inspect the aftermath.

However, as reconstruction efforts steadily progress, a HUGE suddenly appears within the city once again. Shockingly, it is the very same mutated HUGE that Team Hitotsuyanagi, Hervör, and Gran Eple had previously defeated.

Just what exactly is unfolding in Tokyo? Was the fierce battle against Evolve merely the beginning?

Beneath the gathering dark clouds over the city, Riri and her comrades must take up arms once more as their battle begins anew.

Summary

Someone once gave me a beautiful flower. She told me that the white lily perfectly suits those of us who fight.
That's why I will fight! No matter what kind of enemy stands in my way... I will definitely strike them down!
Because... I am a Lily...!!

—Hitotsuyanagi Riri, White Lilies Under the Blue Sky, scene 3-1

The three captains—Hitotsuyanagi Riri, Aizawa Kazuha, and Kon Kanaho—convene in a recovering Tokyo for a post-battle inspection. When an alarm suddenly sounds, the group is shocked to encounter a mutated HUGE identical to the one they had previously defeated in their joint battle. Trusting their fellow Lilies to handle the scattered outbreaks across the city, the three leaders split up to track down the mutated HUGE to prevent further devastation.

During their independent searches, Kanaho and Kazuha help the evacuation and learn that HUGEs are once again converging on the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. Elsewhere, Riri navigates the city with the assistance of a Madec squad. Upon hearing the sounds of combat, she rushes to the Government Building to rescue trapped Madecs there.

Riri struggles against the mutated HUGE until Kazuha and Kanaho arrive, guided by the Madecs Riri had befriended earlier. The two leaders remind Riri that her true strength lies not in fighting alone, but in her ability to connect with and empower others. Invigorated, Riri activates Charisma, boosting the morale of everyone present. The emboldened Madecs use their equipment to collapse the upper floor, creating an opening for the three captains to deliver a synchronized finishing strike.

Following their victory, reports confirm that all HUGE activity in Tokyo has been quelled by the deployed Lilies. However, watching the battle's outcome from the shadows, mysterious figures prepare to advance their unnoticed experiments.
