Hmm. I found so many things during my mountain stroll today.
There were wild vegetables just starting to sprout, and so many creatures I've never seen…
This is what makes the mountains so interesting. I could walk them everyday and never get tired of them…

 Floyd
Floyd

Aaa~ Jade, welcome back~ What did you bring home?
Geh!
Bleh, you pick weird stuff again.
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
These are not weird.
These are obviously edible mushrooms.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Throw them out right now.
You know I hate shiitake. Why do you keep getting them?
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
These are not shiitake. They are a different kind of mushroom.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
I don't care, still hate them.
All your late-night snacks have been mushrooms, recently. I'm sick of it.
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
To be sick of them… I suppose it's been about ten days?
That's not enough to show just how much the mountains have to offer.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Nope, I'm done. I'm sick of mushrooms!
You're in the "mountain lovers club", right? Don't drag me into your craziness.
I absolutely won't eat those.
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
That's too bad. I went and got all these… Oh what to do?
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Put them back where you found them.
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
Oh no… I would feel so bad for them if I left them on the mountain.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
They’ll be fine. Living out their lives there would make them happy.
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
Throwing them away is bad karma, I absolutely won’t.
...Oh, I know. I should give them to the cafeteria and they can cook with them.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Eeeh. Wouldn’t they hate to be eaten?
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
I love them enough to eat them.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Sometimes I don’t get the things coming out of your mouth.

|
Next Day
|
Mutter mutter…
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Food time, food time~
We finally got rid of all those gross ingredients, I’m eating anything but mushrooms today.
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
When you put it that way, even I get a bit hurt.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Just kidding~ But it doesn’t really bother you.
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
Fufufu
Oookay, today’s buffet menu is… There is one mushroom dish.
It looks like they took what I gave them and made a “mushroom risotto”.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
I will definitely not eat that.
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
That saddens me. ...Let’s find a seat and have our meal.
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
...What’s this Silver, you got another risotto today?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Yes.
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
You have always been like that.
You are finally in the outside world, learn to enjoy your food more.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Deciding is troublesome.
That, and I like risotto. I don’t mind having the same thing everyday.
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
There are so many other delicious foods though… Do what you like. Shall we eat?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Let’s eat.
…
…?
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
...Hm? What is the matter, Silver? You froze with your spoon in your mouth.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Th… this risotto…
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
What’s wrong, Silver? ...Was there poison in your food!?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
It… It’s…
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Silver, hold on!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
It’s…
DELICIOUS!!!
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
That’s it?
Your reaction was over the top. Did they change the sauce or something?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
No, the sauce is the same as ever but the mushrooms are much better than normal.
They’re completely different from yesterday… Did they get a new kind?
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
How would I know something like that? Are you just imagining things?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
No, I can tell they’re different.
This is the work of a true connoisseur. Anyway, it is very good.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
...ade… Jade.. Hey, Jade!
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
...huh.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Are you listening to me?
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
Ahh, I’m so sorry. What were you talking about?
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
It wasn’t really anything important.
Why did you get quiet all of the sudden?
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
Don’t worry about it.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Even though you were grinning like an idiot? You look really happy about something.
Something good definitely happened. Anything funny? Don’t hide it from me~
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
Was it funny? Or good?
...Actually, I’m going to keep this to myself. It was just something that gave me a bit of joy.
