Alright, now that we've all put on some bug repellent...
Let's go pick ourselves some grapes!!!!!!!
Within reason, we shall pick every type of grape which this vineyard has available and enjoy the rich flavors that they have to offer!
Yeah!
They both sound so excited.
Yeah, maybe a little too excited...
I mean, we're just here to pick some grapes.
We could just get some from a supermarket and eat those.
Oh, Shiho...
You just don't get it!
Yes, the point of picking our own grapes isn't just to eat them!
It looks like we, the masters of picking grapes, have no choice but to show you the way!
Masters of picking grapes?
That's right! There is much to be gained from the act of picking your own grapes!
What he said!
What is this bit you're doing?
First, we must ask the growers about the signs of good grapes! Then, we are to spot the best ones using our own eyes!
Imagine finding “the one”, picking the bunch and discovering that it's amazingly good! I wouldn't be able to contain my joy!
In other words, the best part of all this is getting to feel really happy while having some yummy grapes!
Yes, I see...! That does sound like fun.
Still, why do you two know so much about picking grapes?
We actually got to do this as a family when we were little. I remember it being quite the learning experience.
Remember how hard we tried that time?!
We saw these grapes that looked really sweet and delicious, but they were up super high. Tsukasa and I managed to get them by having me sit on top of his shoulders!
Yes, I remember my legs wobbling quite a bit, but we got a hold of our tasty treasure in the end...!
You wouldn't believe how incredible those grapes were! All the hard work we put in to get them made them taste just that much better!
Yeah, our original plan was to stuff our bags with as many grapes as we could! But after we got that bunch, we were totally satisfied...
During the remaining time, we ended up just carrying it around like nothing else mattered.
Really...?
It's such a wonderful expression of how close you two are.
But does that really give you two the right to call yourselves “masters of picking grapes”?
Hah hah hah hah! Details, details!
We've taught you the essentials regarding this matter, so let's start picking ourselves some grapes!
(Alright... Which grapes should I pick?)
(The growers said how the ones with the most color are the best, since it's proof that they've received plenty of nutrients.)
These ones look good.
Let's see... I'm supposed to cut...
Shii, are you picking those?
Yeah, since they're a nice color.
I agree!
Oh, the bunch next to it also looks ripe. I think I'll pick those.
Oh, okay...
(I wonder if she'll be able to manage it.
I've never really thought of her as having much of a green thumb...)
Okay, I'm supposed to firmly hold the stem and... There...
Huh...?
Wow, you made that look so easy.
Thank you. I think it's because I've been helping people on their farms and such for work. They've really taught me quite a lot.
I didn't know that...
(Anyway, I'm glad she has some grapes now.)
Now, as for mine... Wait, huh?
What's wrong, Shii?
I'm having trouble cutting through this stem...
Oh, you may want to try holding the bunch more like this. That should help you cut all the way through.
Huh? Uhh... Like this?
Yes, now try cutting it again.
Alright, lemme try...
I did it...!
Hehe. That's wonderful, Shii!
These farming shears can be a little tricky to use.
I'm so glad that I could help.
I had no idea... Thanks, Shizuku.
Hey, Saki and I have harvested a few bunches! How are you two doing?
We each have one now.
Oh, the grapes you two picked look so plump and delicious♪
Yes, they do! Anyway, now that we all have some, why don't we see how they taste?
Yeah! We just gotta rinse them in some water, pick a grape off and... Do you have yours, Shiho?
*Nod*
Then, without further ado...
Let's eat.
Let's eat!
(I didn't realize how juicy grapes are when they're fresh off the vine...)
Mmmmm! Aren't these amazing, Shiho?!
Yeah, they are...
Ah, what a spectacular scene!
Huh?
Our little sisters are enjoying grapes that they harvested together! I want to preserve this moment for eternity by hanging it up in a frame!
I know exactly what you mean...!
The way they're smiling as they have their grapes... I wish I could watch them forever.
Wait, I know how to make that happen! If we keep picking grapes for them, then we'll get to keep watching them like this!
Wait, Shizuku, what are you saying...!
That's brilliant, Shizuku!
Alright, that means we have to find them the sweetest, most delicious grapes this vineyard has to offer! Let's go!
Yes!
Oh...
Th-There they go...
<Haha! You both have siblings with way too much energy, Shih, Sakki☆>
<Hiya! I've been watching from your pocket. Picking grapes together seems like so much fun!>
Oh, Rin, nice timing!
I was just about to call for you.
Guess what? We've got enough grapes for everyone to have back in SEKAI! Check it out!
<Whoa!
We really get to have these?!>
To be fair, I don't know if we'll be able to take all of these over, but get ready to have a bunch...
I know!
What if we used these to throw a grape party in SEKAI?
<That's an amazing idea☆
As a member of the fun and games committee, I promise to help make it a great party!>
<Oh, we could work with Hona to make grape parfaits, grape cake and grape juice!>
<And we can decorate a classroom with lots of grapes!>
With grapes...? I feel like that's going too far...
<Haha!
That's just one idea♪>
A grape party...
Then, that means we need to keep harvesting more!
Wait, more?
Well, duh!
If we're gonna have a party, then we're gonna need a lot more than this!
Also, I'm not about to let Tsukasa and Shizuku hog all the glory!
Let's have a competition to see who can pick the most!
Hmm...
If it's a competition, then I definitely don't want to lose.
<Oh, Shih, does this mean you're game?!>
Hehe. There's no way I'm letting you win!
Because I know I'm gonna pick the most delicious grapes in this vineyard!
