"Thank goodness." Aya says with a sigh of relief, she falls bato her chair reading the items she got off the Giant Mimic.
"I wonder what the rare seed is, could it possibly be the Everbloom?" she asks iement. Looking around the wn, it seemed defeating the Lawn boss had cleared up a rge portion of the Rose Manor's front area.
"Not bad."

The notification tells her, she retrieves the watering from her iory and proceeds to water the wild seed. the little growths sprout further nearing the point of harvest.
Aya wondered nts would sprout from the mysterious wild seeds, she had a whole bunch of them to pnt now.
"I'll till the ground ter, for now, I guess I'll just keep weeding. The Manor's front is almost visible, I just have to reach the statues." Aya says.

"Good job!" she says cheering the Rabbit on, with his help there was no doubt they would reach the statues in a bit.
"I have enough for the Adiri specs, I guess fighting that mimic boss wasn't so bad after all." Aya says. "I'll visit Risel ter."
Aya dismisses her summons, logging out of the game for the evening. Her eyes rove over the tiny kit, room, and bathroom.
She stands, stretg her arms until her shoulders pop satisfyingly. Her stomach rumbles, growling loudly for Aya to feed it.
"Well dang, I better eat something before I starve to death." She chuckles.
Heading to the kit she boils some rice from her freshly bought groceries, topping it off with some vegetables, meat, and soy sauce, the girl begins to devour her food.
In a moment she's staring at ay rice bowl with nary a grai.
"I must have been huhan I thought." she ughs, setting the dish in the sink."
She picks her phone up to once agaihe time, 8:39 PM fshes across her home s.
"Hm, I could take a little break from the game and py ter. Maybe I'll watch a movie or something."
Jumping into bed she remembers she put the water stone up for au.
"I wonder if anyone bought it." she says, opening the app to check.
Clig the au house tab, she finds the item had indeed been bought
"Who?!" sing the yout further she finds a note from the buyer tellio value her products more.
"What a nice guy!" Aya says. She pauses running the calcutions in her head. "If I vert it all I'd have enough to fix the Icarus gear!" her phone slips from her hand, nding on the bed with a plop.
Aya grabs her head trying to process what she's seeing. From a sale alone, she made back her rent and utilities.
'I could quit my job.' she thinks hopefully. Tears well up in her eyes. 'I could quit my job.'
In an instant Aya makes the decision, for her mother and for her future.
[vert All Gold?]
(Transa ot be reversed)
[Yes/No]
she hits the yes button watg all the gold in her iory disappear.
a sum of 447.12 hits her at, givihe total sum she would o repair the Icarus gear.
Aya colpses on her bed, exhausted. Never once did she think she would ever have to make such a decision. There was no going baoon Valley had earned her itment.
It isn't long before she's once again asleep.
----------
Aya awakes with a bitter taste in her mouth and stiffness in her neck from the aosition she'd slept in. She sits up, crag her ba the process. Swinging her legs over the bed, she stands, only to wobble and stumble forward.
"That was some night." she mutters groggily. Reasonably with all the excitement from yesterday, it was only pusible she would feel this way. she heads over to the shower to begin her day.
----------
Walking through the streets of her neighborhood Aya heads into the local junk shop with the heavy box taining the Icarus gear, excitement fills her to the brim, a wide smile stretches across her fauch so that one might think she was insane.
She steps in, dodging some children and teenagers on their way out while an older man calls after them to pay what they owe.
"What I do you for missy?" the old man says, wiping down the wooden workbench he currently leans on. He has a gruff but deeply ated voice as he speaks to Aya.
Aya carefully pces the box oable for the man to sift through. She uses this time to get a better look at him. The junk shop owner is a rge, pink faced man seemingly almost out of breath.
His tall, heavy set figure would make ahink twice about messing with his shop but his bushy white mustache and glowing bald head make for an iing appearan Aya's opinion.
He lifts an eyebrow peaking inside, a deep chuckle escapes him.
"Well, well if it isn't Daichi's old gear." the old man says. Aya gasps.
"Y?"
"'t fet this beat up old thing, which brings me to question how you got it." the old man says. He pins her with a look befrabbing a rge wrend pointing it at her.
"Did you steal it?!"
Aya yelps, startled by the accusation.
"I-I didn't, he gave that to me before he left!" she shouts back making the old man pause.
"Is your name Aya by any ce?" he asks, ping the bridge of his nose in what she assumes to be embarrassment.
Aya nods vigorously, taking a hesitant step back. The man coughs, trying to hide his blush.
"Look, er…I apologize for my initial outburst, you see there's a lot of crime around these parts." he says, putting the heavy wrench away.
"I uand," Aya says quietly. "Holy I had to fight off two muggers on my way here." she says with a ugh. The old man gives a chuckle too.
----------
"So Daichi said it'll take about 500 Lue to fix?" Aya says. The old man scratches his head.
"Well, the problem is that was back then, the parts o fix this are way off the market now. They've been out of stock for a while." he says.
"What?" Aya says, hanging her head i, something in her had known it was too good to be true. A VR headset as popur as the Icarus for only 500 Lue? fat ce.
"What am I going to do now?" Aya says.
Another hurdle on her path to finding out what happeo her parents.
"Don't fret missy." The old man says, resting on his workbench. "For the money you've got, I find you somethier." his friendly voice raise her hopes.
He gives her a gesture, tellio wait only a moment while he veo the area behind the shop.
Aya 't help but remember the time she ed with Risel, maybe she could help him around the shop sometime. The overflowing shelves and gadgets look like they could topple over any moment and Aya knows she's strong enough to put things in order.
The old maurns pg a box down on the workbench.
"Ah, here were are."
