Chapter 42: The Dinner Gathering
On the bulletin board hung five requests from the townsfolk: Gus’s grocery list, Marnie’s order for animal feed, Emily’s dye supplies list, the Wizard’s arcane item list, and Demetrius’s research equipment list for land studies.
What puzzled Leon was that the old Community Center had been abandoned for a long time. It was understandable for the others’ lists to appear here, but Emily’s being posted here was strange—she wasn’t that old, after all.
Unfortunately, no one was around to explain. Since these requests had appeared on the board, the only thing to do was gather the items on the lists.
After all, these bundles were things he would encounter sooner or later in life here in Stardew Valley and on the farm. Whether sold or offered as a bundle donation, they’d be useful for him. Just like earlier—he had donated the four types of Spring Forage, and in return, the Junimos had sent him thirty packets of Spring Seeds.
If he had crafted the seeds himself, he’d get ten at most. The Junimos had given him triple. How could Leon not adore these little apple spirits?
Any thought of letting Joja Corporation turn this place into a warehouse was tossed aside. The Junimos actually gave gifts in return, and completing a bundle didn’t just help repair the old Community Center—it also brought the bonus of restoring local facilities.
Meanwhile, Morris’s Joja Mart membership renovation plan required nothing but money, and not even a kickback. They recognized only cash, not people.
Once Leon confirmed the donation list on the bulletin board matched his memory, he returned to the Community Center’s main hall. He crouched to look at the Junimos following him.
“Alright, I’m heading out. I’ve memorized all the gifts from Stardew Valley that you need. But collecting them may take quite a while, so I hope you’ll be patient.”
