Chapter 302 – Episode 34. What You Need to Prepare Before Becoming a Blonde Tanning Teacher.
“Shall we eat lunch first?”
The time was ambiguous because my meeting with Seari Sawayanagi was delayed a little when I stopped by the Amsang branch. So I thought it would be okay to have lunch a little early since I could go to a café or eat street food in between dates.
“Good.”
“Is there a place you usually want to go on a date?”
I also had a place in mind, but I asked Seari Sawayanagi if he had a place in mind.
“Hmm…”
Sawa Yanagi Seari rolled her big eyes and seemed to think for a while, but she didn’t seem to remember anything.
“If you don’t have one, let’s go to the place I thought of.”
“Yes… !”
The place I was thinking of was a handmade burger restaurant that a lot of couples in Tokyo have been frequenting recently, and even though I went a little early and not yet for lunch, there were quite a few people in line. As expected, the popular houses are different.
“I guess I’ll have to wait a bit.”
“By the way, what are you holding in your hand?”
Sawayanagi Seari asked, pointing to the black shopping bag I was holding. I smiled and showed Sawayanagi Seari open her shopping bag. The shopping bag was full of seeds individually packaged by type.
“One of the seeds here is a gift from Seari.”
“Really?”
If it were a normal woman, if you gave her seeds as a gift, she would tilt her head, but Sawayanagi Seari was so happy that she was receiving a gift that she started jumping up and down.
“I think there’s a spot available, so let’s go in.”
“Yes!”
Soon she became much more cheerful than when we first met today, perhaps because she was relieved by the fact that she was receiving a gift. When we first started dating, I was hesitant and awkward.
We went into the restaurant and each ordered food. Seari Sawayanagi ordered a double cheeseburger set, and I ordered a steak burger set with a steak patty and a double patty burger set.
“It’s so big!”
As expected from a restaurant that is popular these days, the double cheeseburger set with a regular-sized patty at Sawayanagi Seariga had a patty almost 1.5 times wider than my palm, and the bread was served separately as if you were to assemble it yourself.
Since the salad comes on one plate, I guess you can assemble it and eat it as a hamburger or eat it separately as a salad.
The steak burger also came with a large porterhouse steak and separate buns, and the double patty burger had two large patties.
“Isn’t it just steak or a large hamburger steak with hamburger buns and salad?”
“That’s right, hehe.”
It was a bit absurd, but I guess this is marketing. I sliced the steak and gave a piece to Seari Sawayanagi. Sawayanagi Seari grinned again, hehe, as if she liked it when I served her food separately.
“Try the steak too.”
“Would you like to try some cheese patties?”
We shared each other’s food and talked. We talked about the latest work at Seryu Military Company and people we both knew. While talking, I became curious about meeting a slave trader from Crascano, so I asked Seari Sawayanagi.
“Oh, what happened to what you said about going to Crascano?”
“Ah, Azuma, Shinya, and Tobe went together. However… “Before we left, unknown people took all the boys and girls with superpowers, so we couldn’t bring them back.”
That’s a bit disappointing. PMCs like Seryutai where more than half of the members are psychics are rare. They tried to supply more super-talented players, but they were stolen by unknown hoarders.
Seari Sawayanagi and I made hamburgers by putting the remaining meat and salad on hamburger buns and then ate them. Oh, it’s pretty delicious. At this rate, you could call it a hamburger restaurant.
“After… ! I’m full, Mr. Ryuta!”
“Then shall we go to the next course? “Is there something you want to do?”
“Me too… ! “I want to take a sticker photo!”
Seeing that I said “I too,” Sawayanagi Seari must have seen the sticker photo that Alik and I took together.
“Is that so?”
We searched for a nearby sticker photo shop and took sticker photos together. Unlike Alrik’s photo, which had an apocalyptic atmosphere, the photo was taken with a fantasy theme in a forest background. Since she could even make elf ears, Sawayanagi Seari took a photo with an elf feel.
“Ehehe! Good!”
Seari Sawa Yanagi, who took the photo, grinned while looking at her photo. It looks like you really like it.
Next was a movie. As for the movie, Seari Sawayanagi chose what she wanted, and what Seari Sawayanagi chose was a calm melodrama.
It was a movie about a man and a woman who broke up, then met again after a long time and developed a new love, and Seari Sawayanagi watched it with tears in her eyes. There was a scene that made me cry a little, but I don’t think I would cry…
“Sniff… ! It was a good story.”
“I also quite enjoyed it.”
Seari Sawa Yanagi came out of the movie theater and sniffled her nose. It was so cute that I smiled at my dad without even realizing it. Now that I had seen the movie, it was time to check my thoughts.
“Next time, shall we go to the café to see the seeds I prepared?”
“Yes!”
After leaving the movie theater, we went to a café together and sat down. I once again thought about going to Sister Kiyona Hori Mari’s café, but for some reason, I felt like it would really interfere with picking seeds, so I went in looking for a café that was divided into rooms where people around me couldn’t disturb them.
“I’m sure there are seeds here that Seari wants.”
After the drinks I ordered came out, I took out the seeds one by one from the shopping bag and spoke to Seari Sawayanagi.
“Are these the seeds I want?”
Seari Sawayanagi looked at the seeds I took out one by one with a slightly puzzled expression. I also concentrated on the seed bag and checked to see if there was anything useful.
Since the seeds were by-products of research done at the laboratory, most of them were new fruit varieties. If you leave this to Jeong Darim, he will take care of it.
Since the shopping bag was full of seeds, Seari Sawayanagi handed over the seeds that I confirmed to be from the lab, placed them on the chair next to the shopping bag, and took out a new bag of seeds from the shopping bag.
“Huh?”
“Oh!”
We both made sounds of surprise. What we responded to was a leaf-shaped seed the size of a thumb. Sawa Yanagi Seari must have felt something and I made a sound of surprise because of the information displayed on the translucent screen in front of me.
◆Spirit Tree Seeds [Unique Heritage/Consumables/Miscellaneous Goods]
Seeds of the spirit tree. If you sit down, you can become a spirit tree and obtain spirit fruit. There is a rumor that if a young fairy eats it, it will become an adult.
This was it. If a young fairy eats it, it becomes an adult. It was because of this option that Sawayanagi Seari became an adult in the game. I don’t know how Sawayanagi Seari got it.
I expected a name like the World Tree, but the World Tree seemed to be a larger tree than I expected.
“This is it!”
“Is this it?”
Sawayanagi Seari and I spoke almost simultaneously, pointing to the seeds of the spirit tree. It seemed almost certain. I saw a leaf-shaped seed in a small transparent bag. The fortunate thing was that there were not just one, but two seeds of this spirit tree.
One was given to Sawayanagi Seari and the remaining one was given to Jeong Darim to raise. I was curious about the fruit called spirit fruit in the description window. Will it be delicious? Or is there a better option? The answer will be revealed later by Darim Jeong.
“Here’s a gift I prepared.”
I took out a seed from the spirit tree and gave it to Seari Sawayanagi and said. Sawayanagi Seari smiled brightly after receiving the seeds from me. It was the biggest laugh I’ve ever seen.
“I don’t know what this seed is, but I can feel that it is something I really need.”
Seari Sawa Yanagi looked at the seed in her own hand for a while and then put it in her mouth. It was like a behavior that was engraved in my instincts even though no one taught me.
Wrong, bad, bad!
That sounds very delicious. Sawa Yanagi Seari chewed her seed a few times and then looked at me and smiled.
“Thank you. “I will definitely repay this favor.”
Seari Sawayanagi left these words and was immediately picked and passed away. Uh? What’s wrong? And leaves began to emerge from Sawayanagi Seari’s body.
First, I carried Sawa Yanagi Seari on my back, then took the shopping bag containing her seeds and left her café. First, I had to go to a place where I could rest. I couldn’t show this to other people.
There was no time to go to Seryutai’s building. I went into the nearest hotel where I could rest. Even though it was a love hotel, I didn’t have time to go anywhere else while holding a woman with leaves blooming all over her body.
Fortunately, it was an unmanned hotel. I found a room as close as possible, opened the door, went in, and laid Sawayanagi Seari on the bed.
Sawayanagi Seari was like a cocoon made of leaves. If anyone saw it, they wouldn’t think it was a person and would just think it was a pile of grass.
“It couldn’t have been wrong, right?”
Although there was a slight sense of crisis, Sawayanagi Seari did not remain in a pile of grass. Flower buds began to rise one by one from the grass pile, and flowers began to bloom.
At the same time, an incredibly fragrant scent filled the room with the love hotel. It was a sweet and fragrant scent.
