Umi #314: When You Think of Fall
Hanayo
Umi, I have a question. When you think of fall, what comes to mind?
Umi
That's sudden. But I think I'd have to say fall sports.
Umi
That's usually when archery tournaments are coming up, so everyone pushes themselves even harder.
Hanayo
No, no, no, that's not what I mean.
Umi
It's not? Then was that the wrong answer?
Hanayo
You were right, but it wasn't the answer I'm looking for.
Umi
What do you mean by that?
Hanayo
Don't worry about it. Other than sports, what are some other fall favorites?
Umi
Hmm, fall reading? Nights start getting longer in fall, but the cool and quiet mood makes it easy to lose yourself in a good book.
Umi
That reminds me, I read a very interesting book the other day. I can lend it to you if you'd like.
Hanayo
Huh? Oh, yeah, thanks. But that isn't the answer either!
Umi
That was wrong too?! Is this some sort of riddle?
Hanayo
It's not that hard, I promise. It's more along the lines of…
Hanayo
Eggplants, and matsutake mushrooms, and mackerel pike… You know, yummy stuff!
Umi
Are you talking about a fall feast?
Hanayo
You got it! I knew you could, Umi!
Umi
If you give someone that many hints, anyone could figure it out. So what was the point behind the quiz?
Hanayo
Heh heh heh. Well, you see, as a reward for guessing correctly you are now invited to a fabulous event!
Umi
Fabulous event? How is it connected to that question?
Hanayo
Never mind that, just leave your weekend open. See you!
Umi
Uh, Hanayo, where are you going? Please answer my question!
