Event Story – Pull up! Potato Party!! ch. 3

[kozvme]

 

Will: Hmm...

I'm definitely going to bake some sweet potatoes, but I also want to make some Japanese sweet potato or tarts.

They said they would get the ingredients ready themselves, but what about the spices?

I think I should stock up on cinnamon and maple syrup just in case, you never know when they might run out.

Fufu, when you're worn out, you really want to indulge in some sweets, no? ♪

Akira: ......

S- So, Will...

Will: Hm? What's wrong, Akira?

Akira: What were you mumbling about...?

Will: Mumbling...?
Ah, sorry, I must have been so deep in thought that I said it out loud. Was I bothering you?

Akira: No, not really, but...
Just makin' sure, but what are you scheming to do with those sweet potatoes?

Will: Scheming is a weird way to put it.
I think I mentioned it before, right? I was asked to help with sweet potato digging at Récolte Farm, and I agreed to lend a hand.

Akira: Oh right, you did say something like that.

Will: Once we finish digging for sweet potatoes, we're throwing a tasting party, and I was looking into making some delicious snacks other than baked sweet potatoes! ♪



Akira: I see... So that's why you were in such a good mood.
... Still, hold back a bit, okay?

Will: You don't have to tell me.
I want to bring out the sweet potatoes' natural sweetness this time, and Sage-san and Jay-san are going to help me.

Akira: It's just that you have a way of bringing your ingredients' sweetness beyond their limits...
Well, Jay and Sage will be there too, so I've got nothin' to worry about I guess.

Will: ......
If it bothers you that much you should have joined us too.

Akira: Digging up sweet potatoes, huh... I don't want them bad enough to go dig some up.

Will: But you used to go digging sweet potatoes with Ren?

Akira: Ah~, I sure did!
Heh, that time I dug up the biggest sweet potato and earned the title of sweet potato digging master.

Will: Hm? Didn't you lose to Ren in terms of numbers?

Akira: Gh... The size and weight of a sweet potato matter more than the number! Why waste time on the small ones?

Will: Fufu, I remember you arguing with Ren like that back then too.

Akira: We were having a competition to see who could bring you the coolest souvenir.
The thing is, we never really talked about whether we should decide the winner based on size or quantity...

Will: I see.

Akira: Well, I guess he must have also figured out by now that bigger is cooler.

Will: When we went to Récolte Farm, we all struggled to pull out a turnip.

Akira: The turnips over there are just way too big. It's crazy that Oscar and Marion had to team up just to pull one out.

Will: You can find a lot of big vegetables growing there, after all.

Akira: Hey, if you find any huge sweet potatoes this time, make sure to call me, okay? The sweetpotato digging master, Otori Akira, will take care of it! ♪

Will: /If/ that happens.
