Chapter 279: Festival Sights
“Hey, Leon, happy Easter.”
Just as he reached the small garden, Leon heard someone calling him.
Following the voice, Leon spotted Penny and Maru huddled together, while Vincent and Jas played tag in front of them.
“Happy Easter, Penny, Maru.” Leon waved to them and naturally stepped closer, asking, “Have you tried Gus’s egg dishes yet?”
“I’ve had some, so I’m not hungry right now,” Penny replied, shaking her head.
“I’m not hungry either. My father made sure I had a well-balanced breakfast early this morning so I could do well in the Egg Hunt,” Maru added with a smile, then looked at Leon curiously.
“Leon, I thought you’d only get here right before the event started. How come you’re here so early?”
“All thanks to you. With the sprinkler pump, watering takes way less time now.” Leon understood what Maru meant—she had assumed he’d be tied up on the farm until it was nearly time.
Without the sprinkler pump, just watering alone would take over an hour. Adding chicken feeding and a trip to the mines, he’d be lucky to reach the plaza after nine, not this early.
“Glad I could help,” Maru said warmly.
