Chapter 15: A Strange Girl
“Preparing dinner,” Leon replied truthfully. Though the purple-haired girl hadn’t introduced herself, her distinctive hair color made it easy enough for him to guess her identity.
“So you’re the one who inherited this old farm, right?” The girl gave Leon a quick once-over, then took a small step back and explained.
“Sorry. I knew someone had inherited the farm, but I didn’t know you’d already arrived. I just came over without thinking.”
“It’s fine. But it’s not exactly safe for a girl to be wandering around here at night.” Leon shook his head and asked, “Aren’t you afraid?”
“Not at all. I like the night and quiet places. Before you moved in, this farm was my favorite spot to come at night. It’s peaceful here, no one to bother me.” She tilted her head, then asked a bit awkwardly, “Do you think I’m weird?”
“Not at all. Everyone has their own preferences,” Leon replied with a shake of his head.
“Thanks for understanding. Oh, I’m Abigail. What’s your name?” Her face brightened at his answer, and she stepped closer without hesitation.
“Leon,” he said. “Nice to meet you.”
“Same here. We don’t get many newcomers in Stardew Valley. Everyone in town’s a familiar face. It’s nice to meet someone new.” Abigail nodded in agreement.
