I got my "Blossoms of Summer", merit board a couple-few days ago, and since then, I think I've gotten 4 tokens from missions, the thing is, the board tells me that I've earned 8. Just a moment ago, I checked my merit board, 66 side tokens earned, then I finished out my quest, got a token and activated it. 68 tokens earned.
Not that I'm complaining, but I thought you should know.
