Chapter 7 - Precious Memories.

1 - Farming King in Shikoku

[Hero club room]

H: So this is Tamamo city and Gogaku city. This is the Oohashi city, and that's the Ootsuka ward.

N.W: So everything's completely changed, I see. I haven't paid much attention to that before...

Sh: Good morning! What are you two talking about? Whisper it gently into my ear as well.

H: Good morning! Wakaba-chan, come on, give her a greeting in English too! As English Wakaba-chan!

N.W: G-good morning, Utano! Lovely day, isn't it?

H: Haah... This western-style Wakaba-chan is nice as well. I'm getting goosebumps.

N.W: Oh you, Hinata. Stop playing with me. Good thing you got all tingly though.

Sh: Hehehe, as usual, exchanges between you two leave no chance to cut in. So, so? What were you talking about.

N.W: A lot of places changed their names during the Divine Era, it appears. So we were comparing them while looking at the map.

H: Places like the Marugame Castle or the Gold Tower are still as they were, though.

Sh: It really drives home that the Divine Era's history is 300 years long already. I wonder if some places changed their names back in Suwa?

N.W: Uh, well...

Sh: Why the gloomy face? I know how tough the situation here, so I can imagine the rest. No need to look out for me.

N.W: That's just like you. Sorry for getting serious.

Sh: Anyway, what I came here for. Since we got some new land, I've got a request.

H: I'll listen to almost any request, but I'm not giving you Wakaba-chan!

Sh: Really? But I want one! One in every home!

H: I cannot comply! In fact, she has it written on her body. My name, that is.

N.W: What are you two even talking about? There's nothing written on me.

H: Eh?

N.W: Eh?

Sh: Jokes aside, I want a field. There's a place I have my eye on, can I just cultivate it?

Sh: I'm going to grow a lot of stuff there, including soba. The first step to good soba is being picky with the land you grow it on!

N.W: What? You're planning to make soba starting from the fields?

Se: What do we have here? And here I thought it was kind of getting heated up around here. You pestering them for a field?

Sh: Sekka-san, join me! Let's plough together! Let's speak with the earth in a choir!

Se: So you want me to help out? Sure thing. I'm not sure how useful I'll be, though.

H: Can you tell me the place? Well, as long as it's not anything too huge, you should be able to work there without any problems.

Sh: Thanks! Now I'm getting excited. The legend of the Farming King in Shikoku begins now!

N.W: You have a great smile right now, Utano. Let me help out too, it should be fun.
