After leaving 2 Willow Lane, Leon rode his bicycle, planning to take the route through Coal Forest on his way back.
On the way, he decided to stop by the Sewer Drain to check if the green onions had sprouted.
Navigating with ease to the patch where the onions grew, Leon was greeted by a lively green carpet. Satisfied, he nodded and began pulling up all the long green onions.
Rather than stripping away the roots to remove the parasitic worms by the river as usual, Leon took the onions straight back to the farm.
Inside the fenced area, the little chickens were leisurely wandering about, occasionally scratching the soil with their claws before lowering their heads to peck up some kind of worm and gulping it down.
Leon had long grown used to this sight. These chickens from Marnie’s Ranch seemed to have a special knack for pinpointing hidden insects in the soil.
That gave him an idea—perhaps the chickens could handle the worms in the green onions for him.
From his backpack, Leon pulled out a green onion. For the sake of experimentation, he didn’t peel back the root to reveal the worms inside but instead tossed the whole onion in front of a chicken.
The sudden thump startled the unsuspecting bird, sending it running off in a flurry of clucks. After darting a good distance away, it finally realized that the onion on the ground wasn’t a threat.
