Harvest Piece: Luffy's Melody
Lucky!
Musical Note Earned: Meeting the Town
So I decided to walk along the path and eventually found my way to an intersection and a building to my right. It was right there so I decided to make my way to it with a curious walk as I notice the sign and read it as the words told me basically it being a merchant shop and decided to go in since it was open. A shed was next to it as I noticed it open and noises coming from it, but continued to the store. Bells jingled when I opened the door and I was met with a blonde man who was sitting on part of the counter with him toying with something in his hands.
"Good morning!" I decided to greet, figuring he didn't hear me come in and the man looked to me with hair covering his eyes.
"Oh, good morning. I apologize; I thought you were Kidd coming back in." He hopped down from his perch and shifted in his spot to put the item away. "You must be the new guy."
"I'm Luffy!"
"My name is Killer."
"So everyone has already heard of me?"
"The weekly newsletter mentioned you so I would think everyone knows if they read it." The man mentioned as I figured he was viewing me and then suddenly a clashing noise came from the back room. He stiffened lightly and turned towards the back before a loud explosion came from the back, startling me lightly. "Did you come in the back?!"
"It was the only way to test my prototype without you hounding me!" A grouchy tone came out along with coughs and black smoke wavered along the ceiling.
"Well put your shit down and come greet the new guy!" Clattering noises was made with cursing before a man with striking red hair came walking with hands rubbing at a rag.
"The new farmer?"
"Luffy this is Kidd, Kidd this is Luffy." The blonde made the introductions and I greeted the other that soon grasped the goggles covering his face and pushed them up to show how smog was on him and around his eyes were clean from the protection. Amber orbs stared me up and down as he walked to the counter.
"You're pretty scrawny."
"Kidd."
"What?!" The redhead looked to Kilther with arms out like he didn't understand what he said wrong.
"Well, I'm from the city and waited tables so I can understand." I mentioned as I hated my job since it had sucky wages and no one ever tipped anymore these days so I was living paycheck to paycheck with whatever I could spare go to help Ace with college. Of course my brother always said it wasn't necessary, but I would sneak in a five or a few one dollar bills in his clothes so he would find it and think he left it there.
"Well, welcome to Foosha." Kilther told me politely with his bored tone and I heard a 'tsk' from Kidd.
"In case you didn't know, this is a merchant shop where we get some things in or I invent something."
"That's cool!" I told him with fists pumped towards me to show my enthusiasm and the guy looked to me with an eyebrow raised. A chuckle from the blonde made him shake his head before snorting at my response.
"Yeah, I don't have any of my inventions out right now, but I can send ya a letter if you are that interested."
"Sounds awesome!" A grin was splitting my face as I never met someone who invented or made their own things.
"Great, so uh… I will see ya later…. Luffy!" It took him a moment to remember my name but he seemed a bit more relaxed when I took interest in his inventions.
"Okay! I got to go check out some other places too!" Kidd left to the back with a hand waving out and I looked to the blonde.
"If you go left and straight along the path you will find the clinic." Kilther informed me and I began nodding to him.
"I will go drop in then!"
"Oh, and don't mind the doctor there… He can be a bit… personal, if you know what I mean." My head tilted at his words but I nodded nonetheless.
"Okay, bye Kilther!"
"It's Killer!"
"Right! See ya later!" The bells jingled behind me as I put a finger to my chin as I thought about how I got his name wrong. A shrug left me since I never was good with names anyways and most of the time I just make up nicknames. "Time to see the doctor!"
That sounded weird for me to say since I hated the hospital, but I needed to go!
The walk was nice and I came across a bunny hopping around and tugging at some grass only to pop out a carrot. I cheered out to the rabbit, startling it, but it took the carrot with it before running. A building was appearing in my sight with a sign saying 'Clinic' on the front and I assumed it was the place. If it wasn't then someone really needed to change that.
It was open, and even had later hours then the places I had already stopped at, which was good I guess. The door was light as I opened it to hear a doorbell like noise resound lightly overhead. Smelling the sterile atmosphere definitely had me confirming on the location and I stepped in before closing it to notice it being a bit cooler in here.
"About time you stop in." The tone had me looking over to a tan skinned male on a swivel chair, looking bored as could be. "Being new I expected you earlier…"
"Well, Franky stopped by and then I just kind of went to places along the path. Killer told me to come in, actually." I mentioned with a smile and he shifted to get up, which his outfit made me tilt my head.
"At least you made it in, I'm Law, Foosha's doctor. I would like to do a small examination, or check-up; however you see it, on you to get a firsthand knowledge on your body. After that I will ask you your family history and—"
"Ah! Law! Why aren't you wearing your white coat while with a patient?!" A pale man with snow white hair waved his arms around in distress before approaching the other making me notice the major height difference.
"Bepo…"
"I am sorry to interrupt, but you have to wear your coat! You don't look like a doctor with just your hoodie and jeans on!" The man was looking down to his superior as he was still in frantic mode.
"Fine, get the stupid thing." Bepo ran off, leaving the doctor to sigh out with fingers pinching the bridge of his nose. "I swear that one day…"
"Um…" I spoke out lightly as I seemed to have been momentarily forgotten and grey eyes looked to me before he gave a small smirk.
"If you will follow me then we can begin that examination."
Killer wasn't lying when he said the doctor was a bit personal. The whole examination was him checking me over and goodness his hands were cold! He was a bit in your personal space and made remarks that I have heard before and my brother told me only perverts say those things. So I am assuming Law was along the lines of a pervert, but not fully since he is supposed to examine your body. It's not like he was harassing me or anything though and he said I showed adjust to my new routine at a slow pace since he asked about my past lifestyle.
Law was very helpful so I'm just going to ignore my conclusion that he may be a possible pervert.
As I wondered aimlessly around I came across Asuka farm where they have crops and is owned by a grandmother and her grandchild. I think the names were Maya and, uh… Lizard? Not sure but that older woman freaked me out when she did that sudden stretch up and I had to calm my heart. The younger woman was nice and gave me some notes on what to grow during which months with even an estimate date. It was nice and I was carrying it along with me as I heard the beach, but strayed away since I didn't want to see it quite yet. Save it for when I have a whole day to spend there and look over the water and think about my accomplishments so far.
I did run into a few wild animals that looked to me shyly and a very curious face but did not approach. Then I managed to walk by my house and keep going towards what seemed to be a type of mountain. Iza… Lia? Um, oh I know Izo! Yeah, he was putting up a line of clothes and gave a short wave towards me as he seemed to use the other to stop what looked like a chuckle. Not sure, but I returned the wave and continued on along the path.
That's when I saw it.
Off the path a little was a home and I could see a field with crops and what looked like a chicken coop as well. I thought for a moment before remembering the mayor mentioning something about another farmer and not to be offended.
Huh, I should go meet them.
