YuYuYui - Shiratori Utano no shou - 1H

Farming together - 1

Mit: (This story takes place at a time when Suwa's inhabitants were still deep in despair, and Utanon was farming alone...)

[Field]

Uta: There... If it goes as smoothly with the carrots, I should be able to make it by the end of the day.

Uta: And if I can plant these during next week, harvesting should be possible before winter comes!

Mit: That's some dedication, working in this heat. With the Vertexes on top of that.

Uta: If you're aiming to become a farm king, enemy attacks and the heat of summer are nothing.

Uta: With the autumn harvest in mind, I see this strong sunshine as a reward!

Mit: I won't take your reward away from you, but don't forget to stay hydrated. Here, a bottle.

Uta: Mii-chan, thoughtful as usual!

Uta: Mhmh, pwhaa! Barley tea really is the best.

Mit: ...Say, why are you still farming vegetables? On your own...

Mit: I don't think you should trouble yourself with this. Your Hero duties are already hard enough by themselves...

Mit: Ah, but it's not like I'm telling you to stop... I was just worried...

Uta: Because I love farming. That's the main reason, but also, you wouldn't have the energy to do anything if you were hungry, right?

Mit: ...?

Uta: Because of the Vertexes, we aren't as wealthy as we used to, are we?

Mit: Yes... The number of things we can do has been narrowed down by a lot.

Uta: That's why I'm fighting! But if I didn't have food, it would be very bad.

Mit: But you're already the Hero, Utanon, should food really be your priority?

Suw: It's not only about me, I'm doing this for every Suwa resident. Because we have to keep on living inside this barrier.

Mit: You were thinking at such a large scale...

Uta: A lot of people are currently lost in despair. But it's possible to lift their spirits, I know it.

Uta: Moving your body is a good way to distract yourself, so I tried asking for people to come farming. I've yet to hear a positive reply...

Uta: You call out for them sometimes.

Uta: Yes. I know they'll come eventually. Doing something together is more fun.

Uta: I want to keep cultivating these fields as much as I can, for the sake of the day someone will come to help as well.

Mit: ...I see...

Mit: ...Then, I'll give you a hand a little bit today.

Uta: Mii-chan, thank you! What should we start with?

Mit: Uh... Please don't expect too much from me, okay?

Uta: Let's get farming!


Farming together - 2

[Field]

Mit: A hoe is so heavy. ...It's pretty tiring.

Uta: These fields have been neglected for a while, that's why the weeds are growing rampant and the ground has become hard to cultivate.

Uta: That's giving me plenty of work.

Mit: I didn't know it was such a hassle.

Uta: Ah, you're not used to it, don't force yourself.

Uta: You'll definitely get muscle pain here and there tomorrow anyway.

Mit: How can you sound so cheerful about it...

Uta: Because your body will taste the joys of farming too.

Mit: I'd rather avoid the muscle pain, but I can try a bit longer.

Mit: Heave-ho... Uwawawa...!?

Uta: Everything okay, Mii-chan!?

Mit: I let the hoe slip from my fingers... sorry.

Uta: You shouldn't swing your hoe from so high up like you were doing.

Mit: Yes, I'll be more careful...

Uta: I never clearly explained how to swing a hoe properly. Look closely.

Uta: Raise your hoe to around hip level then swing it down. From here, give it a sudden push to raise it like a lever.

Uta: Keep doing this and pull out the weeds. See, easy?

Mit: Heey! Raise the planted hoe... ...I did it!

Mit: You should've explained it like this from the start...

Uta: Sorry, sorry, it's common knowledge to me, I forgot to do it.

Mit: It's not common knowledge for average middle school girls.

Uta: Farming should be a mandatory school subject in this country!

Mit: Yeah, yeah... Anyway, can I work on the field over here?

Uta: Please. You can plow the field here and keep going, I'll take care of the opposite side.

Mit: Sure.

Uta: Don't hesitate to take breaks if you get tired.

Mit: Utanon is so full of energy again today.


Farming together - 3

[Field]

Mit: Haa, haa... I'm already drenched in sweat...

Mit: I've been doing it for such a short time and it's this hard already... while she's been doing it every day on her own... Amazing.

Mit: I must try harder... There...

Mit: Hu...h...?

Uta: ...-chan!? Mii-cha...

Mit: (...What's happening to me? I can hear Utanon's voice but...)

Uta: Mii-chan, hang in there! Mii-chan!

Mit: Mmh... I'm at the shrine?

Uta: That's a relief! You woke up...

Mit: I was working the fields with you... Did I.. collapse?

Uta: Drink this barley tea before anything.

Mit: ...Yes.

Uta: Are you feeling bad?

Mit: A little... still, but I'm already feeling a lot better.

Uta: Looks like you had a heatstroke, you should rest for a while.

Mit: ...Sorry. I said I would help and I ended up causing you more trouble...

Uta: I was already happy just having you help. That's enough!

Mit: Yes... I'm doing better, you can go back to the fields.

Uta: Today you're taking priority over the fields. If you want something, ask away.

Mit: ...I don't need anything. But... being with you... makes me happy, I think.

Uta: Is that so.

Mit: Yeah.

Uta: Mii-chan, will you come help me again?

Mit: Mmh, I seriously don't think I'm cut out for this.

Uta: ...I see...

Mit: I can still help out from time to time.

Uta: Really!? You're also growing your farming love little by little. Excellent.

Mit: ...No, that's not it.

Uta: Too bad. It could've been fun though.
