Visit the Elder Tree, part 3

Chapter 4: The Polturnip and the Leafe. Quest: Visit the Elder Tree

InajiAll right, everyone. Don't forget to thank ol' Mother Nature for this bountiful harvest. Dig in.

Trip*Slurp* Mmmm! This is amazing...!

PinoO Great Elder Tree. Is the soup to your liking?

Elder TreeLa la laaa! Ahem! ♪ It's do-re-mi-fa-soooooo delicious! Thank yooou! ♪

CocottThe Elder Tree's voice sounds younger, yaaay! My dish was a smaaashing success!

RemI knew your cooking was top-class, but this soup is unbelievable. You brought out the vegetables' flavor just perfectly!

PinoI already knew it, but I must say... Master Inaji's crops are truly something else.

InajiYer darn right! When I tend to my crops, I always imagine the look of joy that people'll have when they take that first bite.

InajiThat's my secret to growin' delicious crops. Yer climate and yer tools are important, sure. But the most important thing? It's love.

Pino!

InajiLove is better than any fertilizer. That's the only thing yer missin', Pino. Ye need to think 'bout who yer farmin' for.

Pino...From the very beginning, I wanted everyone back home to taste how delicious vegetables could be.

PinoBut farming was more difficult than I'd thought. And somewhere along the way...I lost track of why I set on this path.

InajiBwa ha ha! As long as ye remember why ye started, ye'll be grand. Hold on to yer dream, and don't overthink it.

PinoHeh... I want my little sister to know how tasty a carrot can be. And to feed my foodie friend the biggest pumpkin they've ever seen.

Elder TreeAs a reward, allow me to bestow a spirit's blessing upon your hoe. I'll have it faster than you can say do-re-mi-fa sow!

InajiHere. Take mine.

Elder Tree♪ Oh, sing now to the seeds you sow! Heave-ho, watch how they grow! With hoe in hand and love to show, heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho! ♪

RemAre you okay with us taking the hoe, Pino?

PinoYeah. I don't need it anymore. I finally realized what I truly needed the most.

Elder TreeHrmm... Well, I wonder... Perhaps...?

PinoIs something bothering you, O Great Elder Tree?

Elder TreeHarummm! That flash of light inside my mouth... I'm sure I've seen it before, long, long ago.

Elder TreeThen again, I do have knotholes for eyes! Ho ho hroom!

Rem(Flash of light...?)

InajiAll's well that ends well, I say! Let's return to the village, shall we?
