Half a month went by as Fuyu's life was going well. He was enjoying his life with others while working hard in the fields to cultivate the crops. Today, the personnel of the Village Chief came and took the crops that they had stored previously and gave them some kuri in return. Fuyu and Manu followed their words helplessly as Manu wanted to fight them off so they wouldn't take the crops, as Mother told him to wait until Father returns. But Fuyu told him to let them take the harvested crops with them as they were getting infected by insects anyway. And if they got destroyed by insects, it would reduce their value.
"Mom, because of Fuyu's words, I let them take the crops, otherwise I wouldn't even let them get close to it," Manu explained everything to his mother as he wanted to appear innocent yet powerful.
