Chapter 2/300
Cool Potato
Colony 9 Arc (2/17)
"A cooling green root that is particularly valued in summer."
Reyn panted a bit. "Boy, it's sure is hot out here," he said, wiping a sweat on their forehead. He, Shulk, and Fiora were in the Commercial District with the Ether Light as a landmark. They wore light clothes in this heat.
"What do you expect? It's summer," Fiora told him.
"I know that."
"We need to find a way to cool ourselves," Shulk said as he looked around the Commercial District.
"But I'm also hungry. Let's find some grub first."
Fiora sighed with her hands on her hips. "It's always about food, huh, Reyn?" she asked.
"N-no..." Reyn crossed his arms. "I-I don't think of food all the time." His stuttering caused Fiora to giggle.
"Reyn! Fiora!" Shulk said near a food stall full of green potatoes, which a Nopon was in charge. "Check this out!" He watched his friends come over. "This Nopon is selling Cool Potatoes."
Reyn scratched the back of his head. "Huh? Cool Potatoes?"
"Green roots cool your body," the Nopon told them. "Perfect for summer heat! Friends, buy some!"
"Nice! How much one cost?"
"270 G! 270 G each!"
"That's...a bit expensive for a potato," Shulk said with a slight frown.
"Valuable during the summer. Friends interested?"
"I guess it can't hurt to try. We'll take three." After Shulk paid with his money, the trio saw down on a nearby bench and began eating their Cool Potato. They felt the coldness of the potato.
Fiora smiled. "This is delicious," she said. "I'm feeling pretty cooled."
"This is a cool and delicious potato!" Reyn added. "The coolest potato in Colony 9!"
His friends chuckled at Reyn. "It's...okay," Shulk said. At least it was somewhat delicious to him.
Reyn felt his stomach grumbling. "Hey, Shulk. You think you can buy another one for me?"
"Um... I'm low on money right now."
Fiora giggled. "Don't worry, Reyn," she said. "I'll buy two for the both of us. I really like these Cool Potatoes."
"Really?!" Reyn asked, widening his eyes with delight. "Cheers, Fiora!"
"Hmm... Maybe I should buy an extra one just for you. Your huge body needs more of these Cool Potatoes, especially your head."
"Oi! What's that supposed to mean?!"
Shulk and Fiora laughed out loud.
