☆WIN-WIN Harvest of Smiles☆
Backstage Stories| Izumi | Juza-kun, isn't this ladder heavy? |
| Juza | No, 's fine. |
| Izumi | I see. If you get tired tell me right away okay. I'll carry it instead. |
| Juza | 'kay. |
| Izumi | (It's all nice and good that we entered the mountains in order to secure food but…) |
| We can't really find anything that looks edible. | |
| Juza | Right. There's nothing that looks edible around, neither fruits nor berries. |
| Izumi | We even thought the ladder would be useful so we took it with us, but we might get no chance to use it… |
| Juza | We'll deal with it when the time comes. It's better than regretting not taking it. |
| Izumi | Thank you. Well, Sakyo-san told us "don't come back empty handed", so let's try searching a bit more! |
| Juza | 'kay. |
| Izumi | Ah, that tree, it has berries! I wonder if they're edible? |
| Juza | …no idea, but anyway we should just take whatever we find right. |
| If we collect a lot there will probably be something edible among them, we can just leave the identification to Omi-san and the others. | |
| Izumi | You're right. Then, let's get at it and pick them! –hya! |
| …hya! Uuh…! | |
| Juza | …what're you doing. |
| Izumi | I- I can't reach it…! |
| Juza | …then you should just tell me. |
| Izumi | Ah… |
| Juza | You wanted this one right. |
| Izumi | Y-Yeah. Thank you… |
| (He stretched his hand from right behind me so even if it's unconsciously I got a bit startled but…) | |
| (He's very dependable, or how to put it, at times like these I end up thinking "he's really a boy huh"…) | |
| Juza | …ah. |
| Izumi | …? Is something wrong? |
| Juza | I can see something that looks like mushrooms over there. |
| Izumi | You're right! You did well finding them! |
| Let's just take back with us the mushrooms that don’t look suspicious! | |
| Juza | 'kay. |
| Izumi | At first I didn't know how things would go, but we picked a lot surprisingly! |
| Juza | Yeah. Both berries and mushrooms, we were able to staff our baskets. |
| Izumi | With this much, there must be at least one edible thing. A curry full of mushrooms, it sounds delicious right! |
| Juza | Right. |
| ….. | |
| Izumi | (…? Juza-kun, he suddenly stopped walking, I wonder what happened…) |
| Did you see something? | |
| Juza | Over there, there's something that looks like a red fruit. |
| Izumi | You're right! First the mushrooms and now this, you really find some nice things! |
| Juza | Not really… it's just a coincidence. Anyway, let's take it. |
| Izumi | Eh!? B-But it's in such a high place? |
| Juza | I will reach it if I use the ladder right. |
| Izumi | Even then you'll be barely making it you know? It's dangerous! |
| Juza | 's fine. |
| Izumi | (Is it really fine…) |
| Juza | Just, a bit more… |
| …!! | |
| Izumi | Juza-kun!? |
| Juza | My bad, I just lost my balance a little. Can you hold the ladder? |
| Izumi | O-Of course! |
| Juza | …alright, I got them. I'm going down now. |
| Izumi | Huh… geez, I was really frightened. |
| (Uuh, it's bad for my heart…) | |
| Juza | When I started thinking it might be a sweet fruit, I couldn't help it… |
| Izumi | (Geez, he's really weak to sweet things…) |
| Alright, we were able to gather quite a bunch. Let's go back to everyone else. | |
| Juza | 'kay. |
| Izumi | We're back! | ||||
| Omi | Welcome back. How did it go? | ||||
| Juza | We picked quite a lot. | ||||
| Omi | Oh, that's some huge amount! So many berries and mushrooms… | ||||
| Izumi | We didn't know whether they're edible or not, so we just brought them all back here, is that fine? | ||||
| Omi | Yeah, no problem here. Over there Muku is sorting the mushrooms for edible ones and inedible. | ||||
| Can I ask you to take only the mushrooms over to Muku? Leave the rest here to me. | |||||
| Juza | 'kay. | ||||
| Omi | …hm? There were fruits mixed inside too. Ah, this red one is a staunton-vine. | ||||
| Izumi | Eh, I see, so this one is a Staunton-vine. | ||||
| Omi | I saw it on TV the other day. I've just remembered it. | ||||
| Juza | Is it good? | ||||
| Omi | When I saw it on TV, they ate it just like that, and they said it was sweet. | ||||
| Juza | Sweet… | ||||
| Omi | …want to taste it? | ||||
| Juza | 'kay. | ||||
| Izumi | (This boy is so honest) | ||||
| Omi | Here, I tried peeling it. You eat it while scrapping off the seeds with your teeth. | ||||
| Juza | Itadakimasu. | ||||
| Omi | You want some too director? | ||||
| Izumi | Is that okay? Then, I'll have some! | ||||
| Juza | ….. | ||||
| Izumi | ….. | ||||
| Omi | How is it? | ||||
| Izumi | It's not inedible but… it's not as sweet as I thought. Maybe it wasn't rip yet… | ||||
| Juza | …… | ||||
| Izumi | (Juza-kun is really disappointed. Even though he worked hard to get it, his expectations got betrayed) | ||||
| Omi | Hmm, can I have a bite too? | ||||
| Juza | Yeah. | ||||
| Omi | …I see. | ||||
| If I revise it a little, I think it would become more delicious. | |||||
| Juza | !! | ||||
| Izumi | Really!? | ||||
| Omi | Yeah. I'll give a try, so wait a moment. | ||||
| Sorry for the wait. It's ready. | |||||
| Izumi | Woah, it smells great! Can it be puree? | ||||
| Omi | More precisely, it's something between puree and a jam. I added some sugar and tried boiling it. | ||||
| I think it's pretty good even with this little. Try eating it. | |||||
| Izumi | Itadakimasu! | ||||
| Juza | Itadakimasu. | ||||
| …'s good. | |||||
| Izumi | Amazing! Both the flavor and the sweetness are much richer than of the fruit we ate earlier! Right, Juza-kun. | ||||
| Juza | Yeah. | ||||
| Omi | I'm happy you liked it. For today, I'll use it to make sherbet. | ||||
| Izumi | Woah, sounds delicious! That's great right, Juza-kun! | ||||
|
CHOICE 1: It's because Juza-kun worked hard [+]
|
|||||
|
CHOICE 2: Let's go picking again! [+]
|
|||||
| Izumi | Fufu, I'm sure everyone would be happy. That's great right, Juza-kun! | ||||
| Juza | Yeah. | ||||
