Strawberry Dreams Ep. 2

Ruby

Wow! There are sooo many strawberries! And different kinds of them too!

Mari

They apparently grow three different kinds of strawberries in this greenhouse. Of course, you can eat whichever ones you like!

Nico

That's amazing! Okay, let's eat every last berry here!

Shizuku

Nico, there won't be any left for us to use in our desserts if you do that.

Mari

No problem there! We can buy all the berries they grow here at the shop next door.

Riko

So we'll taste-test the strawberries they have here, figure out which ones we like the best, then buy those on our way home!

Mari

Exactly! Is everyone ready? Then let the hunt begin!

Mia

Hang on a sec. Where are the knives and sickles and stuff?

Nico

The…what now?

Mia

You said we were going hunting, right?

Ruby

Mia… Is this your first time gathering strawberries?

Mia

Y-Yeah, and?

Shizuku

*Chuckle* Don't worry about it! We'll have fun learning how to pick them together. It's quite simple!

Nico

Fine, I guess I'll have to show you the ropes. All right, it's time for a crash course in perfect strawberry picking for beginners!

Nico

Okay? So this is as basic as it gets, but you need to start by choosing a ripe, red berry.

Mia

Hmm, so…this one.

Nico

Nice pick! So, you gently slip the stem between your fingers, then carefully pinch and twist as you pull it up slightly.

Mia

So I gently pinch, then twist…

Mia

There! I got the strawberry!

Nico

Nice, you've got a knack for it! That's the right way to pick them. I mean, you saw how neatly they come off—even without a knife!

Mari

Carefully pick and twist… Done! Aah… *Munch* *Munch* Mmm! Delicious!

Mia

Huh?! You're eating them just like that?

Mari

Yep! Plucking out the strawberries and chowing down on the spot is the best part of a strawberry hunt!

Nico

Mia, you try giving the one you just grabbed a taste too!

Mia

O-Okay, here goes nothing… *Munch*

Mia

It's delicious! And it's so sweet and juicy… I've never had a strawberry this good before!

Riko

That's great, Mia! I'm going to have one right away too.

Ruby

Me too!

Shizuku

And me! *Munch*

Mari

All right, everyone! Eat up! And don't forget to pick the ones that you want to buy and bring back with you!
