Ooh. Look at all this, zura.

We picked a bunch of big chestnuts and ginkgo nuts.

Oh, a sweet potato!

You're right! That's incredible. I would love to bring this back too, but we didn't bring anything to dig it up with.

But I'm sure everyone would be happy to have this, zura. I've got this!

Heave, ho! Heave, ho!

You can do it, Hanamaru!

I'm bringing this sweet potato back for everyone, got it?

[Fade in/out.]

With everything we collected, we can make a huge array of dishes. Nobody is going home hungry today, zura.

*Giggle* The things we gathered aren't exactly meant for a barbecue, but I'm sure it'll be fine since they all look yummy.

I'm sure it all will be delicious mixed into some takikomi gohan with the rice Hanayo brought.

Yeah!

We can also try boiling them or making miso soup out of them.

That sounds good too!

Wait, we didn't bring any miso with us.

Oops. We dropped the ball there, zura.

Oh, but I think the place we borrowed the barbecue stuff from also had some seasonings. They might have miso too.

Really?!

I can't say I'm absolutely sure, but I'm pretty sure I saw some soy sauce and salt when we were there earlier.

Okay, we'll have to go check after we get back, zura.

Though I gotta say, Emma you look like you're enjoying yourself. You've been beaming this whole time.

*Giggle* I love going on fun adventures like this with everyone. Being out in nature also reminds me of Switzerland.

The scenery is completely different, of course, but I still feel a sense of nostalgia.

Is your home surrounded by nature?

Yup! So coming to Tokyo for the first time was a huge shock. There's big buildings as far as the eye can see.

I get what you mean, zura. My home is surrounded by nature too. So the first time I came to Tokyo, I thought it was like the land of the future.

The city is great, but being out in the woods like this really has its perks, too.

Emma, do you get ever homesick being in Japan alone?

Hmmm. I'd be lying if I said I never get lonely, but I'm all right.

With everyone by my side, I feel like I'm having fun much more often than I feel lonely.

Does everyone also include me?

Ahaha! Of course it does, Hanamaru!

*Chuckle* I'm so glad.

All right, we need to get all of this good stuff back, so we can see everyone's surprised faces, zura!

Yep!
