Title: #66 The Plant Artisan Part 3

Page 2:
Insert: How 'bout the taste? [Has the square-y thing in the beginning]

Page 3:
Ya: Wh... What is this stuff?!
This strawberry and... romanoff cream...
Jousuke, is eating that making you... cry?
YYYYUUUUU
UUUUM!!
Rai: Glad to hear it...
Is chamomile mint okay for tea?

Page 4:
Ya: You really are a good guy!!
You soooo are!! You'd have to be to make such a wonderful dessert!!
Rai: Well, thank you~~
By the way, might either of you need to use the bathroom?
There's one over on pole number 6.
It's all-electric and the tank on top is drawing water, so there's water pressure and a bidet.
SFX: PIH
SFX: GASHAN
SFX: PATAN
Rai: You're free to enjoy the view, but if you prefer, there's a shower curtain.
SFX: SHAAAH

Page 5:
Yasu: Uh, lemme ask this again.
Do you really sleep up on this chairlift every night?
And the mountainside is your orchard?
Rai: This is just the kitchen and dining room.
The 'entire' "chairlift" is my home.
It's a rental though.
Starting from the bottom, the 1st pole is where my analog records are stored. I'm thinking about throwing away my laserdiscs.
Every pole is equipped with speakers. The 2nd pole is a library and a winery.
The 3rd pole is a closet where I keep my shoes and clothing.

Page 6:
Rai: Uh~~
So whadda ya think?
Yasu: But the fields...
They look kinda unkempt.
SFX: MUH
Rai: Hey, ya know...

Page 7:
Rai: I'm not sure you two will get it even if I explain it to you...
but I don't remove...
the weeds from the mountainside.
If you weed, then the fruit
won't end up as good fruit.
The strawberries around here have a role. They're all 'foils'.
There are harmful insects and diseases lurking in places where weeds are flourishing,
but I'm purposefully letting insects and diseases attack the strawberries around here.
By doing that, this makes them a good environment for the insects and diseases, so they don't climb any higher up the mountainside.
The ones I harvest are just a bit above there.

Page 8:
Rai: Because of that, I don't need any agrochemicals.
The ones lower down are being attacked,
so sensing that, the higher-up strawberries get frantic so they become big and sweet.
One pack of my strawberries costs over 10,000 yen! ...And I harvest plenty of them.
How 'bout that?!
Yasu: Maybe he is kind of a dickhead...
I feel really bad for them.
The lower strawberries are getting sacrificed...
Jou: But......
SFX: AHM
Both: YYYUUUUUUUUUM [Make this all reminiscent of the Okuyasu one]
That's insanely good!

Page 9:
Rai: Humans started engaging in agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago.
At first, they grew wheat and green peas.
From there human civilization has been constantly developing.
Right now, science and technology, along with art, thinking, and economic advancements regarding terrain and natural environments seem to have thoroughly surpassed all limitations.
Jou: ............
Yasu: ........
Rai: Understand...?
Right now I'm talking...
about the 'enemy'.

Page 10-11:
Rai: But there is a region which, ever since the dawn of human civilization,
has remained unresolved.
SFX: GO GO GO GO GO GO
Rai: A region that no kings or sages haves ever been able to conquer.
A region which sages gave up on trying to conquer and deemed accepting it to be unconquerable as 'right'.
SFX: GOGO
Yasu: !!
SFX: GOGO
Rai: That is the region known as "not dying".
SFX: GO GO GO GO
Rai: But humanity had "proof" before it
that it exists at the "cellular level".

Page 12:
Rai: The mechanism is astoundingly simple. The "equivalent exchange" of cells.
Even setting morality issues aside, unlike induced pluripotent stem cells and cloning, it's simple "replacement".
By my calculations, the cellular exchange of an entire body can be done in just 2 hours.
SFX: DO DO DO

Page 13:
Rai: Jousuke-kun, if the sages of this world witnessed you, what would they think about 'death'...? That's the region we're talking about here.
Now, what I'm about to say is purely my own conjecture.
But I think what the 'enemy' wants isn't just one or two of the 'new Rokakakas' to sell to some rich folks to make a profit off of...
Most likely...
there are people that want to, at a scientific level, turn the 'Rokakaka' into technology.
And 'keep it all for themselves'!
The IT industry alone makes 5 trillion dollars a year.
Rectangle: $5 Trillion
Rai: What kind of world would an "immortality industry" be?
They are the 'enemy'. ["They" in italics.]
SFX: DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO

Page 14:
Jou: They? [Italics]
Yasu: Who are they? ["they" in italics]
Rai: It's a theory.
They could be kings...
They could be doctors... The enemy is them and the 'Rock Humans'!
Jou: "Doctors"...

Page 15:
Rai: What the 'enemy' wants is the 'new Rokakaka' fruit and scientific data on it.
Arrow: Into Data
Rai: Though the one that's able to harvest it from the 'branch' on the Higashikata estate is me, a farmer. ["me" in italics]
Jou: ..............
By the way... What's in the 4th pole from the bottom?
Someone: Hm?!
Someone: It houses the treadmill.
SFX: GAAAAAH
SFX: GASHAN
Rai: I run on it...
It's got that and some dumbbells... In other words, poll 4 is a gym.
SFX: GURU GURU GURU

Page 16:
Cop: Uh...
This road...
What happened in this parking lot?
SFX: ZAWA ZAWA ZAWA

Guy: !!
Rai: Oh? Looks like a 'patrol car' showed up
down at the parking lot...
SFX: GO GO GO GO
Rai: But were are the officers?

Page 20:
Rai: I don't see any police officers anywhere.
SFX: GO GO GO GO
Yasu: Those 'trees' are getting closer, too. They're all the way to the lodge.
SFX: GO GO GO GO
Jou: Mamezuku-san,
are we waiting here lat this cafe until the 'enemy' arrives?
Rai: Like I said, Jousuke-kun...
We'll be going to the 8th poll next...
There, I have a way we can harvest the fruit from the 'Rokakaka' branch.

Yasu: Th-The trees,
when did they get below us and reach up here?!!!

Page 27:
Someone: What are those things coming from the ends of the branches?!
A-Are they a 'Stand'?!
A Stand is coming out from under the tree's bark!!
SFX: ZORO ZORO ZORO

Page 28-29:
SFX: CRK CRK
SFX: CRRCK
SFX: DONN
Yasu: UAAAAAA
SFX: DON DON DON DON
Somebody: Something's

Mamezuku-san! The chairlift!
Move it! Let's get out of here!
This 'tree' isn't the 'enemy'! The 'tree' is just...
Yasu: AAA
Jou: a ladder to send in their Stand!
SFX: DON DON DON DON

Page 30:
Jou: Amezuku-dan, move the chairlift!
Rai: ............
This 'enemy'... it's quite...

Rai: Jousuke-kun...
Look... at my left hand...
Yasu: Uh...
SFX: GOTOTON GOTOTON GOTOTON

Page 36:
Rai: As per the promise you made to me when we were on the bus,
you were going to make 'protecting me your number 1 priority', right?
That's what we agreed.
SFX: GOTOTON
Jou: !
SFX: GOTOTON GOTOTON GOTOTON
Rai: Yet you covered Yasuho first.
I can understand being in the heat of the moment.
But as a result, one of the "tree branches" that were attacking us touched my hand.

Page 37:
Rai: Touching the tree made the 'enemy's' Stand come out from under the surface. It then entered my skin and I can sense it climbing up my body.
NOw...
the insides of my body are being polluted and melted, causing these holes to become bigger and bigger.
SFX: GUJURI GUJURI GUJURI
Jou: M-Mamezuku-san.
Rai: Jousuke-kun....
Promises are "sacred".
SFX: PIH!
SFX: PISHIH PISHIH

Page 38-39:
Rai: 'Doggystyle'!
SFX: GURU GURU GURU GURU GO GO GO GO
SFX: PACHIN
SFX: SYAAH
Rai: I've got no other choice, I'm abandoning my 'left hand'!
It can't be brought back to normal...

Page 40:
Rai: Don't treat sacred things lightly.
Otherwise everyone, including Norisuke-san, is going to lose!
I'm the first priority. Protect me.........
You seriously want to harvest the 'Rokakaka Fruit', right?
Yasu: ..........
Jou: Uh...
SFX: DON

Page 41:
Rai: ............
SFX: GOTOTON GOTOTON

Page 42:
Rai: Where is the 'enemy'?
If the 'enemy' isn't the moving 'tree', then...
maybe it's moving underground.
Lets test that theory out.

Jou: What?!!
