Chapter 263: Is This Thing Really a Water Pump?
Since Maru was coming today, Leon didn’t head straight off the farm. Instead, he went back into his cabin and called Robin.
“Hi, this is Robin! What can I help you with today?” The moment the call connected, Robin’s warm, enthusiastic voice reached Leon’s ears.
“Robin, it’s me, Leon. I wanted to ask—Maru’s still at home?” Leon asked directly.
“She left a while ago. You should be able to see her soon.” Robin replied.
“Got it. Thanks for the info. Bye.” With a clear answer, Leon hung up.
He then checked today’s fortune and found that his luck was perfectly average. Pouring himself a cup of hot water, he stepped out onto the porch and sat on the cabin steps, sipping noisily. At that moment, he couldn’t help but sigh—if only he had a pouch of quality tea leaves.
Once the cup was empty, Leon set it back inside and walked to the edge of the farm. Glancing down the dirt road leading straight to Pelican Town, he didn’t see Maru, but he did spot Pam in her jacket.
The distance was far, but Leon’s sharp eyes could make out Pam clearly. She, however, didn’t seem to notice him. At the fork in the road, she turned toward the bus stop.
“Well, someone’s motivated,” Leon murmured.
