[kozvme]

 

Sage: Hehe, it seems like we did a good job explaining.

Jay: Right. All's left is to help the kids if they're having trouble.

Licht: Sage, good job...

Sage: Ah, Licht-kun ♪ How was Little Sweet Potato?

Licht: Everyone was laughing.

Sage: Hehe, I'm glad I made it.

Benji: You were amazing too, daddy! How can I do it like you?

Jay: Well, once you grow up and train hard, you'll definitely be able to dig it up.

Benji: I'll train hard!

Will: Do you think you'll manage to dig up some sweet potatoes, Benji-kun, Licht-kun?

Licht: ... I- I'm not sure, but I did understand how to do it.

Benji: Don't worry! If you can't do it, I'll help you out. We'll give it our all together!

Licht: O- Okay.



Sage & Jay: ......

Will: Fufu, I'm so happy for you. They both look like they're having a blast.

Jay: Yeah, I hope this turns into a good memory for both of them...

Sage: Right...

Boy: Hmm~...? No sweet potato is coming out, no matter how much I dig.

Girl: Help us, Jay~

Jay: Well, it looks like my time has come already.

Leave it to me, no matter how big the sweet potato is, I'll dig it up for you!

Children: Yaaay!

Jay: Seems like it's really deep down there. But with a bit of diggingー

Hm...?

Will: What's wrong?

Jay: I keep digging, but I still can't spot the head of the sweet potato. Those vines are really rooted deep in the ground.

Sage: The vines seem pretty thick too, don't they? I wonder if that's just how this variety is?

Will: Can you grab the vines and pull them, Jay-san?

Jay: Alright, let's give it a try.

Sage: Alright, everyone, let's take a step back now.

Boy: You can do it, Jay!

Girl: Show me how it's done!

Jay: Yeah, leave it to me.



HAAAAA...!!

H- Huh, it won't budge... What's happening here?

Sage: Wow, not even Jay-san could get it to budge...

Will: ... Can you feel the sweet potato at the end of the vines?

Jay: Yeah, I can feel it. It's like it's deeply anchored in the ground.

Will: ... Which means it must be quite big.

Sage: Will-kun... now that I think about it, the substance you retrieved here not long agoー

Will: I've heard it was taken back before the effects were clear. Perhaps there’s a connection...

Jay: I see, let me call the Research Department.

Will: Thank you.



Jay: I see. Thanks, Victor.

Sage: Did you figure anything out?

Jay: Yeah. It seems the substance collected here not long ago has had an effect on nearby things, making them grow continuously.
It seems no one noticed at the time of the collection, but that sweet potato was affected by it.

Will: I see...

Sage: Is there any potential danger?

Jay: No, despite its abnormal growth, it’s still a sweet potato.
In fact, there's a good chance it's turning out really tasty!

Will: Tasty...

Sage: Well, it might be a good idea to dig it up then.

Jay: Right.
