Part 1
Public Park
(...Alright. That wraps up the rounds to the ad agencies.)
(Maybe I’ll go eat lunch somewhere? Or should I head back to HAMA House for now…)
Wow! The ‘Weed Fairy’ really exists!
It wasn’t an urban legend after all! Hey, let’s go see the fairy one more time!
(The ‘Weed Fairy’...?)
……
Vacant Lot
Hey, did you see that!?
I saw it, I saw it! Normally the roots would be left behind and it’d just snap, but to pull them out so cleanly at that speed…!
That’s something else! Seriously, that godlike skill is so awesome—!
(This is Ward 16…. Could it be that the ‘Weed Fairy’ is— )
……
(I knew it! It was about Nagi-kun.)
Nagi plucks the weeds skilfully.
………………
(That’s certainly a godlike skill…..! Such an efficient, adept handling. The grass is swiftly being pulled out with the perfect amount of force…..)
…..Ah, Shunin.
! Hello, Nagi-kun. I’m sorry for staring at you.
I just happened to pass by, I was so amazed by your godlike skill that I forgot to say hi…..
Godlike skill…..?
You’re weeding the grass, aren’t you? If you’d like, shall I help out a little too?
Huh? No, I’m doing this on my own, so I can’t trouble you with it, Shunin.
It’s alright. I just wrapped up some work, so I’m taking a small break now. I’d like to master the secret art of weeding with you, Nagi-kun.
‘Godlike skill’, ‘secret art’..... I didn’t expect my personal and plain hobby to be praised so highly.
It’s not anything as grand as a secret art, but I might be able to teach you some tips and tricks.
Yes! Master, I am in your care!
Mm, the pleasure is mine.
Well then, let’s focus on this untouched area. The ground should be soft after the rain, so the weeds should be easier to pull out.
When weeding, it’s important to pull out the roots. For large ones that have grown fully, use a shovel or something like that to dig them up.
I see…!
Ah, wait a moment. I have some spare gloves in my bag, I’ll go get them.
Nagi slips and disappears from the screen.
—!
Eh!?
(Nagi-kun disappeared—!?)
