Why is Bouvardia the main one?

Obviously, because she was there and is an experienced lover.
In Tamfan, I buy two indestructible flowers from the florist (-100 selics).

Of course, the final decision rests with Locke, and based on the role-playing aspect, but just in case, I'll outline my opinion on a potential team of five:
1. Eir, she absolutely must be included, and there's no debate about it. She's the strongest member of the group.
2. Renold is also, in my opinion, an essential member of the team. While he doesn't quite reach Eir's level, he's still extremely strong.
3. Rohei is the third essential character in the group. We can argue endlessly about his usefulness as a combat unit, but he's definitely not weak. Moreover, he's the only healer in the group, which makes him necessary.
4. Anders should be taken along, at least because Elheim is his homeland, and he should know what's what here. Besides, he's one of the few ranged characters, with paralysis and elemental damage as a nice bonus. And he has a cat.
5. Here, things get much more complicated, as there are several good candidates. Anselm's ability to inflict AoE paralysis and simply provide buffs to allies speaks in his favor. He increases the reward from quests, has a chance to upgrade his healing skill and become a backup for Rohei, and can also support the Mirai with prayers. However, he's quite fragile and not very useful as a warrior. And Aretz is a coward and is unlikely to want to go on a dangerous mission. Alessia is even more fragile, but she can act as heavy artillery, leaving only charred remains of enemies, allies, and other Rainers. Kalentia, on the other hand, is a decent and relatively strong combat unit, with access to the same paralysis and the ability, like Anselm, to support Rohei with prayers. She doesn't bring anything particularly interesting, but unlike Anselm and Alessia, there's no need to protect her. I might even get AoE paralysis on auto-attacks if I decide to take "Cyclone" instead of "Discipline".

Obviously, because she was there and an experienced amant.
In Tamfan, I buy two indestructible flowers from the florist (-100 seliks).

where is this written..? I thought she was just a slave..

In Tamfane, I buy two indestructible flowers from the flower seller (-100 selics).

Gulveig fails to find the desired shop, and when she asks the townspeople about it, they reply that it never existed.
— What are you talking about? — said one of the arena fighters passing by, — this is a city of warriors, not noble maidens...

Where is that written? I thought she was just a slave.

Eisen was telling Rohey.

Gulveyg fails to find the desired store, and when she asks the townspeople about it, they reply that it never existed. — Well, what are you doing? — said one of the arena fighters passing by, — this is a city of warriors, not noble maidens...

Everyone who bought flowers sponsored the Mirai mafia.

Everyone who bought flowers sponsored the Mirai mafia.

Gullveig couldn't find the shop she was looking for, and when she asked the townspeople about it, they replied that it had never existed.
— Well, what can I say, — said one of the arena fighters passing by, — this is a city of warriors, not noble maidens...

-- Ugh... -- Gullveig said quietly to herself after her fruitless search. -- Mother, I understand, they moved, closed down, or were magically whisked away, but what happened to the memories of these people... Did they hit their heads on something?
"... Mother, I hope that flower seller is doing well, wherever she is now."
-- Yeah, I don't have a wedding gift. Congratulations, Gullveig.

People walked in crowds back and forth, laughing, discussing the bloody entertainment in the arena, and expressing a desire to go for a beer after work. Not so long ago, their world had one more bright moment than usual, but no one remembered it anymore, and no one cared about it. Arterianka was still completely sure that good deeds and people would definitely leave a mark on others, but here, to be honest, this confidence wavered for a short time.

For a short time, because the girl remembered Vergil. "If it weren't for him, I would have remained that way," she thought. -- "I'm only starting to truly realize my mistakes now, but before, no one really cared about me except myself. Of course, I tried to take an example from other guys and from the baron and do something good, but... I never succeeded. In general, as far as I can remember, not once. And in the end, I just got angry with everyone around me, angry that I was destined to sit on my father's neck for the rest of my days... It was so terrible. And then he came. He smiled, asked what my name was... I realized that this was something completely different, in that very moment."

People kept walking around, paying no attention to the thoughtful girl, slowly walking a little away from the largest crowd.

"Mother, I hope the same thing doesn't happen to me. I'm probably still selfish and thinking about myself, afraid of losing all the good things I have..." -- a mental shrug. -- "But well, my memory will definitely last for a few months, longer than that of fish or a typical resident of Tamfani."
"No. Whatever happens next, I will never forget. Mother, never."

In the end, Gullveig decided that books would be a good gift. Unfortunately, it was difficult to guess what Teia would like, but she still tried to find something suitable at the market, based on the tastes of the women of Baldr she knew (Almandina, Claudia...). It was easier with the teacher; she constantly glanced at the covers of what he was reading, so she simply picked out something similar at the market. After that, the girl hurried back to Gungnir.

// I wish I could LEND money for CHARITY))))) //

- Buva... - Veserod frowned. - Who?.. Another woman? Why is she under his command?

— So, uh, to summarize... — Air was the type who preferred moving her body rather than sitting in one place, and thus the abundant flow of new information had made her head like a boiling kettle, ready to explode at any moment due to its tightly closed lid. — So, our entire world consists of eight elements: metal, fire, water, wind, wood, sun, moon, and star, and your school is a way to interact with them.
— Our school, — the teacher corrected her, — but yes, you've grasped the essence correctly. Now, let's go over the styles. I remind you that mine is the "Path of the Star", the rarest of all! This, by the way, is an extra reason to remember me every time you look at the night sky.
— Thanks for the idea, of course, but I'll pass. Let's get back to the styles instead.

— In general terms, that's how it looks. — The teacher's long explanation finally ended... Or did it? — But that's not all! Firstly, one person can study only one style, and secondly, the learning speed depends on individual affinity for a particular element.
— How so?
— Well, for example, in your case it works out like this:

Metal: -14% (-6% for endurance, -5% for combat specialization knowledge, -3% for each weapon mastery)
Fire: -36% (-25% for patronage of the fire spirit, -6% for strength, -5% for knowledge of fire magic)
Water: -6% (-6% for intelligence)
Wind: -13% (-13% for speed)
Wood: -16% (-10% for blessing of the wood spirit, -6% for spirit)
Sun: -7% (-7% for charisma)
Moon: -5% (-5% for beauty)
Star: -0% (-0% for faith)

2. Renold, in my opinion, is also a must-have member of the squad. Although he doesn't quite reach Eyr's level, he is still extremely strong.

Ah, I have a feeling I'll have to write a sad epilogue...

I don't understand why such a complex event was hidden at the end of the list with a vague description in the middle of a week full of events; let the GM's characters entertain themselves.

Revan said that there will be another chance to learn this. I would also like it, as it looks like a more interesting combat training (not that the current one isn't useful).

Even so, you need to spend a lot of experience points, and we’ll die before we accumulate that much.

Well, I earned about three thousand during the game, and with certain adjustments, that's enough for the first tier.
