Harumi went back towards the back once she had finished, waiting for Akira to stand alongside her before she spoke. "There are some plants they prefer. The flowers aren't very liked by them, at least not compared to the vegetable plants. For example." Harumi pointed to a pot with a stick, vines wrapping around it as tomatoes grew.
"They like tomato plants. We plant those just for them to eat and if they eat the flowers a little too much, we usually just transport them to the back where the tomato plants are located and they stick there. But…we let them go to the flowers if they'd like." Harumi smiled, finding a caterpillar on one of the rarer flowers and sighing.
"Ah ah ah, you cannot eat that." She said to the small creature, letting it crawl onto her finger before she went over and placed it onto the plant, heading over to the counter and grasping knife. "Now, let's cut the oranges and replace them with the older ones." Harumi smiled as she sliced the orange in half.
