[Lotus field]

Yum: Haah, to think a day would come when I, a well-bred lady, would be step into a deep pond of mud like this...

Ren: Yumiko, keep sulking and your focus will drop. Concentrate on finding the roots!

Yum: Of course! My apologies, ancestor. Lotus roots... lotus roots...

Yum: Aah, in water this dirty even groping for the roots does little to help find them...

Ren: Heh. You've got a long way to go, Yumiko. Watch me, Miroku will find a root in one go!

Yum: Ancestor, as much as I admire your spirit, I doubt you could find it that easily...

Ren: Found it! Yumiko, hose down the place I tell you to and wash the dirt off.

Ren: I'll pull it out at that moment. Now aim here!

Yum: Y-Yes. The watering starts now!

Ren: There, take a look. Here's our first harvest.

Uta: Wow, you've got a lovely lotus root there. Renge-san, you have such a good sense for this, it's hard to believe it's your first time!

Ren: Heh, naturally.

Yum: But how did you find the lotus root when it was buried under the mud?

Ren: Heh. The answer is easy. Renge means "lotus flower". That is to say, the lotus roots are rooted in me!

Uta: Amazing, Renge-san, you can communicate with lotus roots! What a talent, the lotus root industry should headhunt you!

Uta: Oh yeah, I wonder how the other teams are doing. I'll go take a look.

Fuu: Urgh, I'm so muddy, this will make my femininity plummet!

Nat: Fuu, your feet can get stuck easily in the mud, so look ou-

Fuu: Gyah! I slipped! I don't want to fall in the mud!

Nat: Are you okay? I'll support you if it's hard to walk.

Fuu: T-Thanks. You saved me from falling, Natsume.

Uta: Heehee, looks like this team's getting along just fine. No problemo.

Uta: Wakaba, how about we get serious about harvesting already? Hose this spot down with water, would you?

Wak: Okay, here?

Uta: And that's the first one! Next is over here. And then after that...

Wak: Impressive as always, Utano. So quick and nimble.

Wak: But I'm not going to fall behind. Can I pick the next one?

Uta: Naturlich! I'll be spraying the water, so order me all you want.

Wak: Here we go, then. Concentrate on the mud... Hnn, over there! Utano, water!

Wak: Ooh! The lotus root reveals itself!

Uta: Great job, Wakaba! You learn fast. Let's keep this harvest going!
