Harvest Moon;For Girls: Chapter 3
"Okay, she's asleep" Karen sighed and closed the door slowly behind her, leaning on it. "What are we going to do with her Mayor?" She said, putting strands of her hair behind her ear.
"I don't know..." He said with a worried look. "Well, I could let her stay here for a while" The mayor said, rubbing his moustache.
"Is it really okay though? She looks like some rich lady with an attitude" Karen said, flipping her hair. "Don't you think so too, Zack?" She folded her arms, against with the idea of her staying in the farm.
"Well..." Zack started, "I think she is kindda cute" He laughed in a monotone, feeling threatened by Karen's glare.
"Don't be like that Karen..." The mayor frowned. "I don't think she is so bad... Well, anyway... she is going to stay here until she regains all her memories. Plus, no one is taking care of this farm..." he trailed off, looking around the empty farm. "She can help around the farm while she stays!" He smiled, proud of his ideas. "Just say it will be how she pay us back"
"Well, is she's going to work here then... I guess that will be okay..." Karen sighed. "I just hope she can cope the hard life here..."
"Then it's decided!" The mayor grinned. "We'll come back here tomorrow morning when she wakes up!" He look at the other two and nods, "You can go and tell the others about her if you want" He laughed, knowing that they'll be itching to tell the others about the new resident. "But I'm not sure if she wants to stay or not so, don't tell them weird things" He frowned.
Karen blushed slightly, it seemed that the mayor understand them too well. "I'll be going back to the shop then" She said with a small laugh and leaves the farm.
"Oh! I need to pick up some stuff at the shop!" Zack said, slapping his forehead. "I'll see you later Mayor!" He said, running towards Karen with a speed to catch up with her.
The mayor looks around the farm again. "I hope she'll be able to revive the farm as it used to be..." He gives the farm a small sad smile before he walks off.
Mineral Village, Spring 30th
The birds are chirping, the sun was shinning trough the window, covering the girl with warmth. She slowly opens her eyes and blinks a few times before realizing that she is in an unfamiliar place.
"My head hurts..." She groans as held her head with her hands. She sighed and rubs her eyes. "Where am I...?" She ponders, looking around the empty wooden room.
She stood up to the hard cold floor, and slowly makes her way to the door. She turned the silver colored door knob and opens it. She was welcomed by a a swish of wind. The smell the newly cut grass, the air was very fresh, and warm. It was the first time she ever felt more relaxed. she closes her eyes and feels the wind on her skin.
"Aha, I see that you're up" A fatherly-old voice called out.
The blond haired girl backed away in surprised. "Ah... the old man from before..." She said, putting her hand on her mouth, then giving the short old man a small bow.
"Oh, you remembered" The mayor grinned. "And good morning to you too! You can call me, Mayor or Thomas" he said as he gave out his hand to shake.
"Um... nice to meet you, Mayor Thomas" She reluctantly takes his hand.
"How are you feeling today?" he smilled warmly at her. "Still doesn't remember anything?"
The girl shook her head, "No, Sorry..." She mutters, looking at the ground.
"Oh dear, You're not wearing your shoes" He said, pushing the girl back into the house "Come, I have something to talk about with you"
"What is it?" She asked politely, sitting down in a very well mannered style.
"Well, how would you like to stay here until you regains your memories?" He asked, with a glint of happiness in his eyes.
"What do you mean Mayor? Is it alright for me to stay? I do not even know my background." She look down at the table.
"It's alright, we welcome everyone into this village" He grinned. "But first of all, I really need to know your name first!" He exclaimed.
"I... Don't really remember..." She said, playing with her necklace who caught the mayor's eyes.
"May I see that?" He asked and points at her necklace.
"Oh, Of course" She said, taking off her necklace and handing it to the mayor.
The mayor took the necklace and rubs the sapphire blue jewel as it sparkles. "Hmm... It looks like what Little Gray would make" He laughed and hands the jewel back to the girl.
"Little Gray?" She asked, tilting her head to one side. She puts back her necklace and hides it inside her checkered red shirt.
"Oh sorry, it's one of the resident here. He came to this village a long time ago. his grandfather, Saibara, lives just infront of this farm!" He explained.
"Oh..." She blinked, somehow the name Gray is very similar ring to her, but she couldn't remember whose name it was.
"Anyways, Is it okay if we call you Rin then?" He asked. "Actually, if you look into your necklace closely, you would be able to see a carving there. It should be a carving of your name" He laughed "There was one more alphabet but I couldn't make out what it was" He said, wondering what the last letter was.
Rin giggled and nodded, "Sure, since I'll be living here, you can call me anything you want mayor"
"then it's set!" The mayor grinned, He was happy that she accepted to live here, in the farm. "I think there's some tools in the box right there" The mayor pointed at the corner. "And I hope you don't mind, you can pay us back by reviving this farm!"
"I will try my best!" Rin exclaimed.
(Later)
'Hmm... Elli's Grandma, Elli, Stu, May, Mister Barley, Saibara, Duke, Mana... Ann, Rick, Popuri who I haven't seen... Karen, Karen's father and mother... Who did I miss?' Rin ponders, she went around the village to introduced herself to everyone. It seemed that the people in this village is very kind, but she didn't really like how Saibara looked at her in the eyes.
'Oh yeah! I haven't been to that place yet!' She said, running towards the church. The church was really different from the other buildings. She admired the detailed designs that was carved on every glass windows inside the church.
When she came inside the church, she was welcomed with a man with a very warm smile, which appears to be the priest of this church.
"Welcome!" He greeted her with a warm smile, his chestnut colored hair was swaying from the small wind that went trough the door that she opened. She swear that she just saw white wings and a halo on the priest just now. Rin rubbed her eyes and stare at the priest for the second time.
"You're Rin I presume?" He asked, smiling.
"Uhm... Yes...?" She replied, unsure how to deal with the new person she just met.
"Welcome to the church!" He grinned, holding the navy colored bible in his hand. "You may call me Father, like everyone does!"
"Father...?" Rin asked, tilting her head to one side.
The young priest just smiled at her and leads her to met a certain young man who had been sitting there for a long time. But! Un-noticed.
"This is Cliff! I believe you two haven't met each other before?" he asked. Introducing Cliff to Rin.
"No, not yet" Rin smiled, "My name is Rin, I just came into this village yesterday" She grinned. "Well, washed up on the beach to be exact"
"Oh... you... you're that girl who Karen was boasting about yesterday" Cliff said, looking down. But you can clearly tell that he is just shy. "My name is Cliff, nice to meet you" He said with a soft voice.
'He... He looks so... Fraggile' Rin snickers, nearly bursting out laughing.
Cliff gave her a questioned look.
"Nothing" She grinned. "Nice to meet you too!" Rin pulls her hand out for a shake.
'Her hand is so small' Cliff thought and takes her hand.
Suddenly something struck his memories.
Flashback
"Nice to meet you Cliff!" A little girl smiled sweetly at him.
End of flashback
"Rina...?" Cliff's eyes widened.
