Hanayui no Shou 6-3E

What sort of lifestyle? - 3

[Hero Club room]

Mit: Uh, in Suwa people farmed, with Utanon as their core.

SON: That's our Farming King...

Uta: It was my lifework, both as a hobby and for practical use.

Wak: So you were self-sufficient?

Mit: Yeah. But it was pretty fun, working the fields and harvesting the crop with everyone.

Uta: Self-grown vegetables taste just divine! But you need to go through hell to get to that point.

Uta: Specifically speaking, through pests and bad weather! Those are such a pain...

Wak: I can understand the weather, but insects too?

Uta: Yeah. They're the devil! Demons who ravage the crops you've grown with love and care!

Kar: Huh, sounds like there's its own share of pain involved in working at the fields. Sekka, Natsume, how was it back at your places?

Nat: The sea.

Fuu: How exactly does that explain anything... So you mean you ate fish, molluscs and other sorts of seafood?

Nat: Yeah. Diving underwater and stabbing them with harpoons.

Fuu: Harpoons!? Wait, you had a hunting society going?

Nat: Okinawa's seas are rich and generous, after all.

Tam: Huh, that sounds kind of fun.

Nat: It was great. And when you wanted something sweet, you'd chew on some uji... Sugarcane, I mean.

Yuu: Sugarcane?

Nat: Yeah. A sweet juice would flow out.

Its: That sounds rather wild...

Sek: Sweet things are important, you know. We had a lot of fruits in Hokkaido, though.

Uta: Same here. There was plenty of fruit to go around in Suwa.

Sek: Local produce really does come in help when the going gets tough.

Nat: Yeah. The sea is the strongest. How was the food situation in Hokkaido?

Sek: Hmm... In Hokkaido...
