Chapter 91
The group changed to a local train from Sapporo to Asahikawa, and from there took a large bus to the community center, commonly known as Komi-sen, in the center of Shihoro Town, the first destination of their journey, which they arrived at around noon.
At this facility, there was a brief explanation and pre-study for the internship, and once that was completed and the host farmers arrived, the students each dispersed to various farms in Kamishihoro Town, further north, which was their final destination...that was the flow of things.
Here, everyone was given the "Kamameshi bento" and tea that had been prepared in advance, and everyone spent a relaxing time eating and chatting as they pleased, or drinking juice with the pocket money they had brought with them.
By this time, Ryosaku had also managed to get a good nap on the bus, so with a clear head he was enjoying a casual chat with the few friends he had made since enrolling at the school - the two students from the animal husbandry department.
Soon after, a "lottery" was held, a small event to determine which farm the students would be sent to for the next two weeks.
At this time, everyone seemed nervous, wondering what kind of family they would be assigned to.
Ryosaku was sent to the "number one" farm.
Eventually, the destinations for all the students were decided, and as the announcement was made, the farmers who would be accepting the students filed into the Community Center auditorium.
Then, one after another, the introductions were completed, and the students left the venue with the farmers to whom they would be assigned...
The person who welcomed the last remaining masterpiece was none other than Lisa Tanaka's father, Kenichi Tanaka.
