Thanks for the chapter and picking up the series! I'm not engaging much with yugioh right now thanks to master duel's awful meta so this is nice.

Naturia Hydrangea's condition is what we call an "inherent summon", in that being special summonable is a property inherent to the card rather than an effect it must activate. As mentioned, Cyber Dragon is a classic example. This is opposed to a "chainable summon", which requires the use of an effect and can be differentiated by the presence of a colon. You can read more about it here.

Im glad someone picked this back up, such a shame it keeps being dropped.

Great work, hope to see more.

It feels like the world is trying very hard to make Shiori reconsider playing this game.

So basically, a non-activated special summon (referred to as a build-in summon, a summon that doesn't start a chain, or colloquially an inherent summon) is a summon that lacks a cost activation window. Basically, if it has a colon or semi-colon, like Rikka Princess, Dream Shark, or Spore, it is an activated effect that starts a chain and can be responded to. If it doesn't contain one, it's then known as an (unoffical name) inherent summon, with popular examples being Diabellstar the Black Witch, The Horus Monsters, or Kashtira Unicorn/Fenrir.

This is a big distinction because as I said, since it doesn't give you a response window, meaning you can't chain Maxx C or Fuwaloss to it, and most significant of all, you can't negate the activated effect to summon (but some cards can negate the summon itself, like Infernoid Flood or Black Horn of Heaven).

Shiori is such a mood. The only thing missing was for her to play into Sunflower twice, then read the card and go "oh, this card isn't once per turn".
