Chapter 267: That’s All
The female reporter looked a little disappointed at Leon’s decision, but she still agreed to it. Still, she made a point of choosing a table tucked away in the corner of the Stardrop Saloon for the interview.
“Do you need me to walk you through the interview process?” she asked with a pleasant smile after they sat down.
“Isn’t it just a simple Q&A?” Leon countered.
“Well, you could put it that way. I just thought you might feel a bit unprepared, so I wanted to go over the questions first,” the reporter explained.
“Let’s just start. You’re here to learn about Red Star Farm and the Calico Desert bus repairs. I can give you accurate answers to both without any rehearsals. Let’s stick to the facts.” Leon declined her offer outright. Who knew what tricks she might pull during a pre-interview—possibly even leading him into saying something he shouldn’t.
The reporter nodded and signaled to the cameraman to get ready. She placed a voice recorder on the table, adjusted her posture, and began.
“Mr. Leon, hello. I’m a reporter from the Stardew Valley local forum and Stardew Valley Daily News. It’s an honor to interview you, the new farm owner who came to Stardew Valley to build up your land. Could you tell me what made you decide to start your farming life here?”
“Because the Red Star Farm I’m running now was my grandfather’s masterpiece. He passed it down to me—simple as that,” Leon replied.
“I’ve done some research. Before inheriting this farm, you worked at Joja Corporation, and not just anywhere—you were a logistics manager for an independent flagship store at headquarters. That’s quite a respectable position, yet you gave it up to run a farm that had been abandoned for over a decade. What drove you to make such a choice?”
