[GAME LOADED. WELCOME BACK!]
Penny awoke for once feeling rather pleased with how things were going. There was no bellowing from Pam not since yesterday. It had put a smile on her face when Shane sent her the video he took of Taeko beating the crap out of Pam. She was not supposed to feel that way, but after being under her thumb for so long, it was cathartic. Of course, Penny was freaking out when she seemingly sent a text thanking Taeko for doing that and deleted it out of her history blissfully unaware she sent an attachment with the message. Pam, on the other hand, was miserable. Her body hurt despite the healing from Abigail, and she was in no state to do anything. Add to fact that unless she got around to apologizing to Taeko, there's no bar money. She did not even have cash because of the medical bill she was slapped with.
"At least I got my stash. I've been meaning to try that Strawberry W-SHIT!" Pam screamed, noticing she was lacking a bottle of [Strawberry Wine].
She hoped Penny would make breakfast, but too bad for her that Penny was back in her bed.
Maru was waking up bright and early in a pool of drool at her desk in her secret basement room containing her more secretive inventions, namely MarILDA. She had been up trying to figure out Abigail's powers. She refused to believe magic was the simple solution.
"Magic is just science we don't understand." She had told Sebastian last night.
She groaned as she looked at her phone seeing it was a Wednesday.
"Oh…day off…..then more sleep." Maru said passing back out to sleep.
Sebastian was still in bed, but he set his alarm for two hours earlier than he usually woke up.
Taeko awoke in a good mood feeling fresh and new. He did have a bit of glee at the fact he planted his foot upside Pam's head. Taeko looked at his phone to see he had a message from Penny, and Taeko raised an eyebrow.
"Hm? Let's see what we got." Taeko said getting up.
[Taeko, I heard what happened from last night. I should be mad, but my drunk of a mother had it coming. You're a hero, and a hero should be rewarded. Just know I'm thinking of you.]
The picture was something Taeko never expected from Penny at all. The picture was her lying back on her bed wearing a barely buttoned shirt which showed a frilly red bra and panties. Her face was teasing, and her hand was…down between her legs. Taeko put his phone down in shock as that was so unlike her.
"I swear if Kyu messed with her, I…huh." Taeko said as his phone buzzed.
He looked to see it was a voice message from Kyu to which he played.
"I'm surprised she did that myself. I didn't know she had in her to be a little minx. I bet you're going to have a hard time thinking on it."
Taeko looked at the growing bulge between his legs and groaned. He took a cold shower and got dressed. A clean pair of the Blacklight clothes blipped on over his underclothes making him fully dressed.
"Huh…guess it must be the fact I equipped them." Taeko thought as he looked at the calendar to see it was Vincent's birthday. "Huh…what the hell am I going to get him for his birthday?"
He thought about it and decided to try cooking something for his birthday after he make breakfast for himself. Two [Field Snacks] were what he settled for as he gave the last of the sausage patties to Tom and Logan.
"I'll need to go shopping, and I'll have to go to Joja." Taeko thought bitterly.
Taeko went out to face the sun and decided not to call San today. He was not in the mood for her at the moment, and he could always deal with her in the night. Taeko got to pick up the crops that were grown first.
[You have grown 4 Daffodils, 4 Dandelions, 2 Wild Horseradishes, 5 Spring Onions, and 3 Green Beans. EXP added towards farming and foraging skills.]
He would plant seeds, but he did not have a watering can. He had to improve to get the crops he had watered and fill up the pet bowls. Taeko decided to take it easy and go see if there was anything on TV. A Queen of Sauce re-run was on, but Taeko passed on it. The weather was boring news, and the fortune teller was asleep at his ball saying it was a neutral day in his sleep.
"Ok, time to check the internet." Taeko said connecting his laptop to his television. "RWBY still disappoints. They totally should have introduced the Arc sisters earlier in Volume…wait, reboot? Remnant's Four Shadows? Mirai Productions?"
Taeko was skeptical but gave it a watch. He was not disappointed by what he saw, but he found it rather roughly animated. He also already through the trailers and pilot when there was a knock at the door. He got up closing his laptop and went over to the door to find Sebastian in sweats.
"Ready to get to it?" Sebastian remarked producing a bag. "I got hash browns!"
"If it's the fried kind, I'm game." Taeko remarked.
[Shadow Farm Theme Unlocked – Cues: jinsang – ]
The two were outside as Taeko was running him through the basics with few words and mostly movements. Punches, jabs, sweeps, and kicks were learned.
"Not bad for a newcomer, Seb." Taeko remarked cracking his knuckles.
"Well figured I'd give it my all. But my legs fell like jelly." Sebastian said with a bit of sweat on his face.
"I got a crapton of Joja Cola. We can crack some." Taeko suggested.
"You drink that swill? Oh right, I forgot you were stuck in that crap company for years. Probably got used to it…just give me one." Sebastian said as Taeko jogged into the house to grab two out of the fridge.
The two were sitting by the larger lake on Taeko's farm leaning back against a tree drinking in hand.
"You've really charmed the girls here something fierce, Taeko. Abigail talks about you, Maru mentions you to my stepdad's ire, Penny has this weird look in her eyes when you're brought up, Haley curses your name, and Emily's still spooked out by your name. I think Leah mentioned you too." Sebastian said taking a sip.
"Heh…I was a bit of a charmer in school. Leah, doesn't count. She's been my best friend since school days." Taeko remarked.
"Really?" Sebastian said raising. "How close?"
"Simply put, if it wasn't for her douchebag ex-boyfriend Kel, she and I would have been together. Probably married." Taeko admitted.
"Damn. My pity. I mean, what's stopping you now?" Sebastian asked.
"I don't even know, but Leah has her own issues to sort out after Kel. Frankly, I want to kick that dick's face in even if it got her to lose weight." Taeko admitted.
"A shame, but hey you got plenty of fish to go after." Sebastian said with a shrug. "Curious to ask…want to play "fuck, marry, kiss"?"
Taeko nodded needed a laugh, and Sebastian suggested Emily, Haley, and Leah.
"Really? Well kiss Leah, fuck Haley, and marry Emily. To be honest, Emily's really cool to be around. Marrying her would be cool. Leah was basically my first kiss. And Haley…well….just because why the hell not." Taeko remarked.
"It's funny. Abigail used to have the hots for me before you came along." Sebastian remarked. "Not that I mind, but I'm not ready for a relationship yet."
"Eh, that's fine and fair." Taeko remarked.
"What's not fair is all basically being Keitaro Urashima." Sebastian joked.
"Dude…bad reference. Love Hina was a harem one, but a total shitshow. Keitarou Oe from Golden Boy would have been more fitting." Taeko said rolling his eyes.
"There you are." Abigail said, coming with Logan and Tom in tow. "I was beginning to think you canceled training."
Abigail was in a black sports bra, sports thong, and matching boots. Sebastian raised an eyebrow.
"Trying to seduce your precious sensei?" Sebastian asked teasingly.
"Oh, shove off, it's flexible material that helps me move better." Abigail retorted with a blush.
Sebastian rolled his eyes and said he would leave them alone. Sebastian thanked Taeko before leaving them for home.
"Taeko, I have a request. I really want you to teach me the Kienzan!" Abigail asked with stars in her eyes.
"I don't know about that…the Kienzan's not exactly the safest thing to learn…." Taeko thought.
A text box flashed up.

Taeko accepted the quest and looked to Abigail.
"I'm really not sure about this, Abs." Taeko said with a sigh.
"Don't really, sensei. I'll be careful, and I'll make it worth your time." Abigail said assuring him.
Taeko had shown her the process and Abigail had been soon throwing purple disc throughout the air. Taeko immediately regretted teaching her that and hoped the reward was worth it.

"Bonus scene?" Taeko thought before turning to Abigail.
"Hey Taeko…I noticed that your training is affecting me rather well. I'm slowly gaining a bit more muscle definition on my body." Abigail said flexing a bit. "Soon enough, I'll be jagged like you, but I remembered something about ki. Pump up."
Abigail clenched her fists together and let out a shout as she increased her ki. Her body's muscle mass began to slightly grow as her whole body expanded giving off a purple glow. Taeko gave a whistle in tone that he was impressed before Abigail released her concertation to return to normal.
"Like the little show?" Abigail said with a wink.
"I did, and we can call your training over for the day. I do to keep this up, but I have a farm to run. That and I need to rest today considering everything from yesterday." Taeko said wiping some sweat off his head.
"Oh, all right. It's all ready, nine a.m." Abigail said looking at her phone. "Thanks for training, Taeko."
Abigail jogged off as Taeko swore he sensed something else was there only to suddenly no longer sense it. Taeko shrugged it off as the Game glitching up when it was really Penny rushing back to the library for work. She was willing herself to not peep in on Taeko even if his blood's scent was intoxicating. She was afraid of harming him or others and trying to get a handle of herself. She, at least, calmed down once back in the library ready to mold young minds. Taeko had walked into the coop to check on Rojo, Rei, and Reiju along with their statuses.
[Chicken – Reiju – Heart Rating: 5/5 – Taeko's first chicken. She's spunky and likes the outdoors in the daytime. (At five hearts, she will now lay Large Brown Eggs)]
[Chicken – Rei – Heart Rating: 1/5 – Taeko's second chicken. She's quiet and is a bit owlish in the daytime.]
[Chicken – Rojo – Heart Rating: 1/5 – Taeko's third chicken. She's mischievous and likes pecking strangers in the outdoors in the daytime.]
"Huh. That's oddly singular entries." Taeko thought as he collected the eggs. "Okay, two browns and one white."
Taeko had taken it easy and light for today wanting to prepare himself for tonight. He had done some jogging, a bit of sword training, and socializing. By the evening, he was readying himself for San to come.
"It's 6:45. Ugh, I wish I could just skip a few hours." Taeko remarked.
A text box flashed up telling him he could skip time if to go right into the mission much to his relief. However, he realized he had forgotten to go for groceries and trudged back out.
Pam was in a bitter mood all day considering her loss to Taeko previously had left her sore. Lewis had made good on his word to not give her another unemployment check leaving Pam with little to no cash. When Penny had returned home from work, Pam had asked for money to do some grocery shopping.
"Ok, I'm going to do the grocery shopping." Penny said leaving the trailer. "Because I won't let you lay a finger on my money."
"Damn it!" Pam swore.
She really wanted some booze, and she could not find any left in her stash. Of course, the emboldened Penny wanted a bit of revenge and had made sure to empty most of her mother's stash. Pam decided to move over to the Stardew Saloon, and she was not exactly met with praise. Cosette glared at her the entire time as she sat at her usual spot. Before Gus could even pour her a drink, Cosette caught his hand.
"Sweetheart, don't." Cosette said coldly.
"But…I'm a paying customer!" Pam said glaring at her.
Cosette had nothing but a sardonic laugh asking when the last time was that Pam paid off her tab. Pam groaned when Cosette pointed out that she would not get another drop until she was getting some of income. Pam stormed out snagging Willy's half-drank bottle downing it in one go. There was a storm cloud over her head walking over to Joja Mart to see Taeko and Penny walking and chatting. Then, Pam spied a bottle of wine in Taeko's bag and suddenly she was ignoring the conversation Penny and Taeko.
"Well, I need to get back to the house. Later." Taeko said walking off as Pam followed.
Penny would put away the groceries and go to bed a bit early for once. She would have cooked for Pam but decided to leave her to her own devices.
As Taeko walked the dusty road back to the farm, he smelled dried booze and whirled to see Pam.
"What do you want, Pam?" Taeko said annoyed.
"I noticed you bought two bottles of wine. Maybe you could part with one." Pam said, trying to sound friendly, only to come off as desperate.
In reality, those bottles were from her stash. Penny had emptied most of it but gave two to Taeko as a gift. Pam was clearly already a bit drunk.
"Hmm…why? Why should I help you?" Taeko remarked.
"C'mon, man. I'll apologize and I'll make it worth your while!" Pam said with a hiccup.
The world went gray with a text box flashing up in front of Pam for Taeko to see.
[Karmic Option]
Pam is in need of booze and willing to offer anything for it! What will you do? There are few options and they are not all wrong.
Be Nice – Give her a bottle out of the goodness of your heart (+Friendship with Pam, -Friendship with Penny)
Be Harsh – Tell her to piss off. (+Friendship with Penny, -Friendship with Pam)
Be Interested – Take her up on her offer to see what she'll give you. (No friendship gains, bonus scenes unlocked)
The last option, Taeko realized was probably Kyu's doing, was marked in pink. As much as he could be interested by this, he did not want any "firsts" from Pam of all people. He knew no matter how good it could be, he'd regret it later down the first. So, he hit the [Be Harsh] option, and the words came right out of his mouth.
"So, you act like a racist to me and you expect my help. You still haven't even apologized for that or stabbing me. Kindly piss off." Taeko said before walking away.
[Your friendship with Pam drops 150 points, but your friendship with Penny rises by 150 points.]
Taeko entered his home to put away his groceries. Most of what he had purchased was stuff for breakfast, including bacon, English muffins, and sausage patties. He was still pissed it all cost 5,000 Gold. He also made sure to put away some of the things in his inventory either in the fridge or in a storage chest for tonight. With that done, he started the time-skip.
The nap he had on the couch was reliving and his eyes snapped open to see it was eleven at night. Perfect, he thought. Everyone would be sleeping or in the saloon. With that, Taeko started up the quest and walking out found San in her usual clothes waiting for her.
"I assume you're ready." Taeko said as his Blacklight clothes had a bit of a glow on them.
"I never went into the town before." San admitted showing a bit of nervousness.
"And I suggest you keep it that way. You're already a pain for me…no need for them to get involved. This way." Taeko said walking towards the woods. "We'll pass through the underside of the woods, first."
San followed along. Their first stop? Willow Lane.
"Listen, for some reason among the garbage is something untouched and useful. Now we sift quickly yet carefully. No need to awaken anyone." Taeko said opening the lid.
Both had found something in the can, for Taeko, it was just a leek, and San got a [Sunfish]. Taeko eye rolled at the leek planning to just sell it later. The house lights flicked on, and Taeko grabbed San and leapt up to the roof. Vincent came out before absentmindedly tossing some trash in the can before closing it.
"Too close. Next house." Taeko said jumping other to the next home across from them.
San followed and they scaled down to the trash can next to the door. Not wanting to stay exposed for too long, Taeko hurriedly raided. She got bread while he got a Carp. Now Taeko was getting rather sick of fish. Alex's house made up for that by being full of [Cookies]. San kept stuffing her face and he had to drag her away from the house before her loud eating woke anyone up. The saloon was going to be hardest as they crept up to the trash can only to see that Linus was there. Taeko swore the sound of a record scratched inside the saloon.
"Well this is awkward…" Linus said quietly.
"Yeah it is…" Taeko said.
"Who's the girl?" Linus asked.
"Would you believe me if I said she's some wolf girl and she's serving me?" Taeko said with raised eyebrow.
"I don't think I'm drunk enough to believe that…" Linus said before sipping from his flask. "Now I am."
"All right, let's see what's inside." Taeko said opening it up.
Inside was…more bread much to Taeko's disappointment.
"Thanks for the drinks, Gus!" Shane said from inside.
Linus was already gone, and San was panicking. Looking over the fence, she jumped over to hide as Shane came out.
"Taeko?" Shane asked. "What are you doing?"
"Uh…just throwing something away. Pam keeps leaving her trash on the ground." Taeko said without any shame of throwing Pam under the bus.
"Days like this, she scares me to cut back on my drinking." Shane said with a chuckle. "That woman…yeesh. Don't know how Penny put up with it."
"Preaching to the choir." Taeko said with an eye roll.
"Oh. And I want to thank you for saving Jas and Vincent from the wolves. I owe you one." Shane said before leaving.
"You're welcome…" Taeko said walking off. "And you can come out."
San leapt over the fence no worse for wear and they continued to the Mayor's Manor. Taeko hissed to himself when he only found Bread again!
"I swear to Yoba, if I find bread again…" Taeko muttered.
San was happy with her find and shoved it in her sack. Surely, being a simple girl had its charms. The two trudged over to the Blacksmith but San got a whiff of something.
"I'm smelling something really odd. Like when the wolves are rutting." San said as Taeko was catching on.
He could hear grunting and it did not take much effort to realize what was going on.
"Just go to the trash can and raid. I'll cover you." Taeko said as San walked towards the trash can.
He peered in the window and cringed at the sight. He did not need to see Clint, his chubby, his moaning of her name, or his RealDoll taking it in her artificial backside. Taeko looked away partly horrified and aroused by it all.
"Damn it…really wish I had not told Pam to piss off." Taeko thought walking up to the trash can.
San had gotten coal and Taeko found the same. He was not even mad, and he grabbed San's hand to drag her away from there. The last place was the museum and Taeko was glad for the Omni-Geode and San somehow found another Carp.
"Ugh. This haul sucked." Taeko said to himself as he noticed Morris locking up JojaMart for the night.
The employee that followed was coldly left by herself as Morris got in his fancy sports car and drove away out to the road for home. Of course, he sprayed dirt all over her face.
"What an asshole." Taeko said as she noticed the employee going around back. "And what do we have here?"
San followed once again Taeko tailed her to see she slipped into the shed marked for Joja to toss out products in large bins to be hauled away by truck. The employee opened a bin and hauled a perfectly good set of makeup out before leaving for her car making sure to lock up. Taeko noticed the cameras there, but his Gamer senses were telling him that they were disabled. Scaling the wall as she drove away, Taeko and San came down to the shed noticing the employee neglected to lock it. They entered to find several bins, and Taeko opened the first one and was pissed.
"This is to throw away…well if Joja doesn't want it. I'll take it." Taeko said deviously.
"Food in there?" San asked.
"No, just electronics." Taeko said taking the microwave oven, radio with Bluetooth speakers, and the red and black Beats by Dre headphones.
He tested the headphones and before sliding them down to his neck. He took up another one in blue for Leah to get tomorrow before closing the bin to move on. The next bin was a refrigerated one and stuffed with dairy products. Taeko skipped the Joja brand products, and just loaded up on yogurts, milk, and cubed Swiss cheese.
"So only the milk counts as game inventory? Neat." Taeko said as San eating out several yogurts. "And you…control yourself."
Next bin was the produce but his time in Joja had taught him not to really trust most the produce. He doubted Morris give a damn about standards. He skipped it in favor of dry goods swiping several brands of chips. All in all, Taeko had to roll the haul in a cooler and so did San.
"This will be enough to last for weeks. This "cooler" thing is great." San said as they exited.
Taeko got them to the gate and they carefully wheeled it all back to his place. Taeko felt like celebrating and decided to pour two glasses of that wine Penny gave him.
"Here, San. You earned it." Taeko said downing his.
"This taste funny, but I kind of like it." San said taking little sips.
Taeko was about ready to declare this quest when he remembered the bonus objective and Clint with the RealDoll. A smirk appeared on his face as he put down his glass and eased behind her.
"What are you doi…" San said before letting out a yelp as Taeko grabbed her chest.
"Just wanting to show you my thanks." Taeko said gently feeling her.
The sensation was new to her and a jolt throughout her body. Being human, Moro had forbidden her from taking part in mating season. Her sharpened senses had her smelling it and craving it. Thus, this triggered something in her. His hand had snaked her behind, and she gently pulled away.
"I…Thank you Taeko…for the help." San said nervously as her legs shook. "But I really must bring my haul in!"
She rushed out and Taeko noticed she left a trail that was not dirt. A text box flashed up.

He closed it out curious to what tomorrow would bring, but he got another box.
[Due to your discovery of Joja Mart's waste being useful, you can now go behind there and get certain items but only once a week. Some of these items won't count for your in-game inventory. However, you will have to buy seeds and certain items as you won't find them in the storage bins.]
Taeko sucked his teeth but was at least glad he got a nice haul. He put away his new items in the fridge, cupboards, and set up his radio on the coffee table. His new microwave he had quickly plugged in a corner of the kitchen.
"Oh man, what a haul. Plus, I got a neat cooler." Taeko said. "Well, time for be…"
He was interrupted by a knock on the door, and he answered to see it was Leah in her pajamas.
"Leah…" Taeko asked with a blush.
"Taeko, I need to ask you something. Something personal. You're not seeing anyone at the moment, are you?" Leah asked.
"Nothing official." Taeko asked. "Oh, and I got you these."
Taeko handed her the headphones and her eyes went wide.
"How did you…do you how get these? They're ungodly experience!" Leah said in shock.
"Would you believe something was throwing these things away?" Taeko joked.
Leah decided to simply believe that. In doing so, Taeko had inadvertently cockblocked himself as Leah changed her mind and headed home. She had gotten cold feet.
"Damn it, he's your best friend! I can't just ask him to have sex with me!" Leah muttered to herself.
Taeko decided to move to get items to sell and settled for putting two chubs, a halibut, two catfishes, a white egg, all of his dandelions, and all his daffodils in the bin for sale. He collapsed in bed exhausted and hoping for a better day tomorrow before drifting.

[GAME SAVED!]
(A/N: Sorry this took so long. School got in the life along with Remnant's Four Shadows. Yeah, this fic is more of a hobby fic for me considering it's not heavily intertwined with the Blackthorns or Geist Naruto. So, San content is moving along. I bet you all noticed something in that I've been preventing Taeko from cashing his V-card or anything close. Why? I got plans. By the way, I edited chapters 4 and 9 to cover an error I missed. Also consider the amount of money calculated in the previous chapter a glitch because it's the wrong amount.)
(Remastered A/N: Not as messy as other chapters. Tell tiring to do this.)
