Episode 602: Grape Hunting

~ My apologies ~

Grape hunting cannot be done in late November. There is also a lack of investigation (', ω, …).

I'm so sorry.

But for the convenience of the story, dreams and flowers as they are will be given a grape hunting date.

######

It is Sunday.

Me and Miho are already out in the woods dressed to be okay and heading to a reserved grape hunting (all-you-can-eat) place.

That said, Shoda passed the district tournament in first place in Judo.

This is the way it always is. Judo, where Sho is, is bound to go all over the country.

But apparently there was no show of Sho at this district tournament, and the only freshman on the team entrusted with the vanguard ended up considering it almost to say he won it all.

Sometimes I lost only once or twice and left it to the next sharp member, but those two were almost unmatched. That's amazing.

Even the provincial tournament will be at this rate, maybe.

I have to go see what I promised. I might even have time to go and see the regional games.

"Hey, you can bring home the grapes, sure."

"Right! Let's bring everyone a souvenir."

"... to Ye in Cherry Blossom, to Mother and Father, to Uncle... to Sho and Lil, to Sho's Aunt and Father..."

"Well, that's a lot of people."

Do I have to take home at least 10 rooms in total?

Hmm, I guess it's critical because the amount I can take home is up to 6 rooms per person......

"... I like cherry blossoms, so I'll give you another room at the celebration for Sho, 12 rooms. I've got the bag for once, but I think we should split up six rooms at a time and take it home."

"Oh, let's do that"

If that's what Miho's been suggesting, I can't help it. Let's share and take it home. Grapes are light, but bulky.

"You're here."

"Hey."

I arrived at the grape hunting ground I had booked after a while, for 1,600 yen for all I could get for 2 hours.

Giant Peaks, Delaware, Muscat and all 5 MORE.

... How do grape farmers make money like this? I have no idea what Tane is.

It's a place I used to go with my family only once, but every grape wasn't of bad quality.

Well, I just enjoy Miho and I more than just saying that that's okay.

"All right, go get it!

"Come on!

Rent a small basket, me and Miho go to an area where the vines are crowded. Looks like there's Delaware around here.

"That looks delicious!... uhh, it won't arrive..."

Even though the height of the beautiful flowers (around 160cm) was quite likely to reach them, the beautiful flowers deliberately reached for the grapes at the height and stretched their backs.

And I'm gonna see a flicker about me.

I'll try to meet your expectations.

"Yes, go ahead. Princess."

"Thank you, princess!

"... ugh"

"Eh heh, half a joke. Thanks. That was cool."

I grin as I represent it with my good job and my hands.

Oh, that's so cute. This is going to feel like a date.

Me and Mihana put Delaware in a basket one room at a time, sat in a chair nearby, and tried to start eating.

"Hmmm! Oh well!

"Right... it's delicious..."

"Yes, uh"

"Ahem."

They fed me. Huh.

That's why it came from me.

"Yes, beautiful flowers. Ahem."

"Ahhh."

Maybe on purpose, but Mika ate the grape out of my hand, licking her fingers a little.

Don't attack some beautiful flowers today...

"Nfu, not really"

"Let's make it a giant peak next time"

"Kyou...... stop, don't look at me like that! How Much Me or Huge...... Yeah, Sorry"

I stare consciously into my jittery eyes at the beautiful flowers I have said.

So me and Mika decided to hunt the giant peak next.

"This one's a little more."

"That's right."

Speaking of which, if you look around, there are quite a few family guests. It's Sunday... well, I don't know if we have about 10 pairs together. But apparently I don't see anyone coming with the same sex as me, so I might be comfortable with the stalker thing now.

I'll try eating one room at a time, sitting in a nearby chair again, the giant peak I could take while I was thinking about that.

"Uh, delicious. Sweet and really delicious."

"Looks like this is a good idea to take home."

"Yeah, you can add a muscat to this for Cherry Blossom and Sho."

After that, I ate all kinds one room at a time, in the form of a fierce tour of what I liked in each of them.

Hunting grapes while the two of us snuggle takes an outing time. I have time to eat.

Wouldn't it be even tighter if you brought your family? I couldn't reap more than I thought...... I wonder if this is what I'm after, farmer.

"Phew, satisfied!

"Leaf said we'd go next time."

"You're out of grape hunting by then."

"Well, you're going strawberry hunting."

Enjoyed the outing. We hop on the bus home in a hoax.

"... what will you do when you get home?

"Once we leave the grapes at home, let's go out for dinner. Then we'll go somewhere around the department store."

Exactly. It's a shame that the date ends in two hours between 10: 00 a.m. and noon.

If you walk away with the grape, the grape may crumble.

"Right! So, then?

"Then...?

"Wow, don't you know what I'm trying to say?

In a tone that hints at something...... Oh, you mean that? I can't believe you haven't noticed.

"After dinner. Sho says it's not really a good idea for a minor to go in, so let's go in."

"Eh heh, yatta!
