Chapter 102
In November.
Two months had passed since Ryosaku returned to his hometown of T prefecture from Hokkaido.
His alma mater, the Agricultural College, holds an event every year called the Agricultural College Festival.
This is a festival where grains such as rice and wheat grown on the school's farm, as well as eggs, vegetables, and fruit, which the students grow during their regular farm training on campus, are offered at low prices to the general public who visit the event, and there are also stalls, so to speak, and a little "performance" put on.
It was something like a school festival held at high schools.
Ryosaku and his classmates were wearing happi coats and selling the soybeans they had grown in their fields, and they were fulfilling their role as the department in charge, explaining the work they did on the farm to visitors to this agricultural technical college.
Soon, a loud cheer rang out from a plaza a little way from the school entrance.
Ryosaku looked over and saw that the animal husbandry students were putting on a suckling pig show!
Ryosaku and the others took turns leaving their seats and watched the suckling pig being roasted up close, with interest, along with the other visitors.
As he was watching the piglet being roasted to a crisp, someone put a hand on his shoulder.
He turned around and saw Rika Toyama, whom he hadn't seen in several years.
