146 – Help
"Seedling? What kind of seedling is that?"
Mutant berry seedling: a very hardy berry seedling whose
fruit is edible.
"Oof, that's an unusually long description."
I was impressed by the oddity, but if it was edible, it
would be a good idea to plant it in the garden.
I tried to put it in my pouch with a smile on my face, but
it seemed that I couldn't put the seedling in there.
We called it quits for this search and quickly plowed the
garden to expand the field.
Aoi is moving small stones out of the way with her beak.
Midori also used her mouth to pull out the weeds.
It took less time than I expected.
147 – Restaurant
Two days passed like this, and here came the first customer
I saw.
It was a man in a suit, still young but with grey hair in
places.
“Can I help you?”
I asked him, and he said yes.
"First of all, it's nice to meet you. I've decided to
open a restaurant in this area, so I've come to say hello."
I see. I asked him why he wanted to open a restaurant in
this sparsely populated area.
He said he wanted to open a restaurant in a place with
strong local ties.
148 – Staring
"I know I'm late, but I'm the owner, Mr. Furuya."
Mr. Furuya had already greeted the Mitsui family.
We had tea for a while, and he seemed to like the jelly they
served him.
Needless to say, it was a jelly made from the fruit of the
hiratori fruit.
Since it was the first time he had eaten the fruit, he
showed a strong interest in it.
He told me that Mr. Mitsui had told him about my house.
"Oh, I see, then you can find it there"
I pointed my finger at the fruit in the garden.
But Mr. Furuya was staring at Aoi and Midori, not at the
fruit.
149 – Please give me
"Oh, it's unusual, isn't it?”
I asked with a bitter smile.
Then Mr. Furuya looked at me and nodded.
"Yes, it is rare! Such a beauty! That chicken! And
horse! I've never seen them before!"
He tried to speak calmly at the beginning, but soon he spoke
in high spirits.
"Mr. Ide! Please give those kids to me!”
"No!”
“Er...”
Um...
They're precious children of mine, I can't give them away.
He gave up immediately, saying, "Well, that's just the
way it is."
He didn't seem to be a bad person, thank God.
150 – Welcome
"Aoi, Midori, come here!'
When I called out, Aoi climbed on Midori's head and Midori
ran to me.
I stroked her head.
"This is Furuya-san, he's going to live near
here."
When I told them, Aoi and Midori shouted and then rubbed up
against Mr. Furuya.
"Oh, it's not what it looks like, it's fluffy to the
touch.”
Aoi and Midori quickly retreated, though Furuya-san was
impressed somehow.
"Let's get down to business, can you supply that fruit
to my store as well?”
So that's what this is about.
