Most Delicious When Freshly Picked
Harveston
Grim
I…I can't take it anymore~~~!
Epel! Lemme eat the apples on that tree!
Epel
Alright! Just hang on a second, I'll go get them from the farmer in the orchard.
Epel
Sorry for the wait! I got one for each of us, so let's eat them together!
Grim
Yaaaaayy! Thanks for the food~!
Crunch crunch… Delish~!
Epel
Ahaha, I'm glad you like it!

Epel
Yeah, it's perfectly okay.
Epel
Ahaha! That's such a Grim thing to do.
Epel
My family, for instance, actually taste tests the apples while we harvest them. We just pluck the apples straight from the tree and eat them as is.
Sebek
I also eat them whole with the skin. I've heard that you get all the nutrients the apple has to offer that way.
Jade
I usually peel the skin off, personally. I'd learnt that such is a common practice for eating fruit when I came up to land.
I wouldn't hesitate to eat them as is, however. I shall follow the custom here and enjoy this without peeling the skin.
Idia
I only eat fruit sliced or canned since peeling the skin off myself is a pain…
Epel
Ah, then allow me to peel the skin off your apple, Idia. Please wait.
Jade
The rest of us shall eat ours without peeling, then.
Jade
Crunch… This is certainly delicious. While it is a little sour, its light tartness allows one to keep helping themselves to as many apples as they like.
Sebek
Chomp… Mmm, it's good! The juicy crunch that each bite gives is irresistable.
Epel
Right? They're most delicious when freshly picked after all!
*Slice slice…*
Grim
I wanna eat more! Gimme Yuu's share!
Epel
It's wrong to steal other people's food, Grim.
*Slice slice slice slice…*
Grim
I'll eat the ones over there then!
Epel
Ah! Don't just pluck them without asking first! That's our precious stock!
*Slice slice slice slice slice slice…*
Jade
Maintaining a conversation while peeling an apple without even looking at it? That's quite the feat, Epel.
Epel
Ahaha, I've been peeling apples since I was a child, so…
And…all peeled. Please enjoy, Idia.
Idia
D-Don't mind if I do.
Crunch crunch… Hmm hmm, this is quite poggers.
Grim
Epel! Let! Me! Eat! More! Apples!
Epel
C'mon Grim, just wait a little more.
I'll let you eat the best apples ever once we reach my house, okay?
Jade
Oh? To think that a signboard would be placed in such a location. Let's have a look, shall we?
Sebek
It's got Mount Moln written in huge letters. This should show us the way to get there.
Grim
Isn't it just a straight path to go anywhere here? There's no way you'd screw that up, yanno.
Sebek
…Well, thank goodness it's a straight path. The words are all so faded that I can't even make them out.
Grim
This signboard and the gate there really got that hand-crafted feel to them.
Epel
Yeah! That's because the villagers used native timber to construct them. Aren't they splendid?
Idia
Uhhh, I vote that the signboards should be changed to a digital touchscreen style to improve their functionality and operability.
Epel
Th-That's way out of the question. This is a small village after all.
Idia
…I mean, it's not like I need a signboard in the first place anyways.
S-Since I have THIS tablet that's chock full of info about Harveston! Fuhee!
Plus…even if I am lacking any info, the internet has all the answers!
Ah……
Epel
Hm?
Idia
But…if there's no internet connection in Harveston…it'd become a matter of life and death for me…
Epel
Don't worry, you can use the internet here.
Sebek
You are concerned about network reception even while on vacation? If Ortho knew of this he would tell you to "go out and touch some grass"1 instead.
Idia
Like you're one to talk. You'd be crushed if you weren't able to use the internet in this day and age, as well, wouldn't you?
Sebek
Not really? It doesn't bother me anyway.
My hometown of Briar Valley isn't technologically developed in the first place.
So only a handful of places there have functioning internet.
Idia
GAAAHH! How can this be?! Places with no net coverage are as good as dead in my professional opinion!
I'll definitely never set foot in Briar Valley no matter what.
Sebek
I had no intentions of inviting you, anyway.
Epel
What about your hometown, Jade? What is it like?
Jade
The Coral Sea is as wide and deep as one's imagination allows… The quality of internet connection very much varies from place to place.
Harveston is a much more convenient place than I'd imagined.
Grim
I can't wait another second… I could just swallow the apple trees whole…
Epel
I-I said no already!
Alright, everyone. Let's head to my house!
