Autumn days with scattered leaves 2-1N

[Field]

Yuu: U-ta-no-chan!

Uta: Huh, what are you all doing here?

Tou: We're to help with fieldwork as thanks for the sweet potatoes you shared with us last time.

Shi: You'd be a great help! Could you help me was the potatoes I've harvested, then?

Its: Waah, there's so many of them. Do we have to wash all of them by hand?

Uta: Yeah. You have to remove the dirt and roots and make then nice and pretty before you can ship them off.

Suz: Uugh, that sounds like a pain. Are we really going to make it even working together?

Its: I think you don't need to worry about that...

Meb: Hup! Hup! How about it, Karin? The potatoes I washed look much cleaner, don't you think?

Kar: Guh, not bad! But I can do that too! Teeeei!

Meb: S-She's fast... She's so fast I can't see her hands move!

Kar: Hmph, this is the perfect Hero's perfect potato washing!

Its: What's that supposed to mean...

Suz: And I think her hands weren't visible because they blended in with the dirty water she sprayed everywhere...

Meb: It's on then! Here I go! Sentinel style high-speed potato washing! Eeeeei!

Yum: H-Hold on, the two of you. If you continue being this rough, the dirty water is going to... Bleh!

Kar: Haah... Haah... That takes care of them all.

Meb: Haah... Haah... Utano, who won?

Uta: Karin-san in speed and Mebuki-san in beauty! The title of the first potato-washing queen is my present to you both!

Shi: Potato-washing queen... Lame...

Tou: The potatoes are clean, but the two of them got all smudged with dirt instead.

Suz: It's not just Mebu and Karin-san. All of us in the vicinity, too...

Yum: Alfred! Prepare a bathtub with herbs, and make it quick!

Suz: Yep, can't see him anywhere.

Shi: Wait, Miroku... We have this.

Yum: My, Shizuku-san, you are quite well-prepared. Just like that, a sprinkle of water and a dash of powder...

Yum: Wait, this is the basin we washed the potatoes in and baking soda. What are these doing on the field?

Uta: Pardon, I was preparing those to soak vegetables in those to remove bitterness from them.

Suz: I see! But as fun as that sounds, if you remove bitterness from Miroku-san there won't be anything left!

Shi: True...

Uta: I know! Once we're done with the fieldwork, would you all like to visit hot springs?

Its: Hot springs? Won't it be a lot of trouble, having the Taisha arrange a bus and all?

Uta: Non non, a hot spring facility opened nearby recently. So let's use this chance and take a look at it!

Yuu: Really!? I had no idea! Karin-chan, I'll wash your back!

Kar: W-Why mine!?

Meb: ...

Yuu: Because you worked so hard today, Karin-chan!

Kar: That wasn't anything special, okay?

Meb: (Karin... Why...)
