Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

"What's the matter? Why are you drinking here alone? Where have all those people who used to surround you gone?" A clear and pleasant voice stood out amid the noise.

Sean looked up and saw Emily walking towards him gracefully.

"Look, you're here. Come, have a drink with me." Sean invited in a frivolous manner.

"Sir, we are still working hours." Emily took a few steps back, one hand protecting her chest and the other guarding the hem of her skirt, looking like she would rather die than be bullied.

Xiao En felt the pressure from the surrounding gazes and quickly begged for mercy: "I was wrong, ancestor, please retract your magical power quickly."

Emily chuckled and couldn't pretend anymore, so she sat down slowly.

Ever since the mushroom incident, Sean felt that Emily's attitude towards him was ambiguous, and there was an inexplicable connection between them.

Was she awake at that time? Sean couldn't ask about such an embarrassing topic, so he could only keep it to himself.

"Are you done with your work?" According to Emily's personality, if it was during working hours, she would definitely not come over to chat and laugh with him.

"Well, it's time to change shifts." She leaned back in her chair, stretched, and then rested her chin on the back of her hand. "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about, you busy person?"

"Actually, I just wanted to thank you for the information about the stone, and to find out what happened in the past few days. When I came back, I heard almost everyone saying that Lewis was corrupt. I was away for a few days, and the town couldn't keep up with the version."

As a waitress working in a pub, Emily has access to a wealth of first-hand gossip, so it's definitely a good idea to go to her.

As the drinks came, Emily told Sean about Lewis.

Sean frowned slightly when he heard that. Lewis was too careless. He was actually caught by Joja with such a big handle. He was really in trouble now - it was shit if not shit. He had originally hoped that he could hold on a little longer.

"What's the result? It seems like nothing serious has happened yet?" The process is no longer important; Sean is only concerned about the result.

As the saying goes, much thunder comes with little rain.

The fact that the two groups are arguing so fiercely now shows that the matter has not yet come to a conclusion.

When the dust settles, people will generally remain silent.

"He used his political career to suppress this matter. In the past few days, several respected elders in the town have formed an inspection team to review Lewis's accounts during his decades as mayor. It is unlikely that there will be any results for the time being."

"I hope it's not a big problem and there won't be any more mistakes." Sean sighed, hoping that Lewis hadn't done any obvious false accounting in the past few years.

"Sean, in my opinion, you are the most suitable person to be the mayor. You have vision, courage, and strategy. The most important thing is that you are devoted to Pelican Town." Emily looked at Sean with a smile on her face.

"Me? Don't be ridiculous. Being a politician is a thankless job. I'm not interested in it." Sean waved his hands repeatedly, his face full of resistance. "All day long, I have to deceive each other, listen to a lot of words that are hard to tell true from false, and have to bear everyone's expectations. If it's not for personal gain, who would be willing to suffer this? Whoever wants to be a politician can be one!"

"My biggest wish is to be a free and easy farmer, marry a beautiful wife, and have a big fat boy." Sean said to Emily.

"Don't say that to me." Emily avoided Sean's gaze. "If you make my sister angry, you will suffer the consequences."

Sean's alarm sounded, suggesting that this was enough, and that this topic could not be further explored. He quickly changed the subject: "Hey, you reminded me. I think you are also suitable to be the mayor."

"Me?" Emily looked surprised.

"Yeah, I think if you just say you want to run for mayor, everyone in this room will definitely vote for you."

Unlike Haley, Emily has liked Pelican Town since she moved here six years ago. She is the one who looks after the house when the Romans go out traveling.

Haley basically lives in the city and only comes to accompany Emily occasionally.

Everyone knows what happened next. Bored Haley met Sean, and now she is planning to live here permanently like her sister.

Therefore, Emily's household registration had been moved to Pelican Town when the Romans settled in Stardew Valley, while Haley's was still in the city.

From this perspective, Emily fully meets the basic requirements for running for mayor.

Debut girl, become an idol and save the town that is about to be abandoned.

"Seriously?" Emily put down the straw in her hand.

Sean said nothing with a serious face, but he still succumbed to Emily's meaningful gaze: "I just said it with my heart, don't worry about it."

As a joke, Sean tells her a story about a group of girls forming a college idol to save the school.

In return, she said, "I have to say, you have a very wild imagination, which is very interesting."

The two chatted about all sorts of things, and Sean suddenly asked, "Emily, what else do you know about the origin of lemonstone?"

Emily was caught off guard by the question, and a hint of panic flashed across her always smiling face.

She stirred the straw unconsciously, bit her lip, and finally, as if she had made up her mind, she looked up at Sean: "Come to me on a rainy day, and I will tell you everything then."

She has already said that, so it would be impolite to continue asking.

Sean nodded, his goal having been achieved, and he let the topic go while the waiter served the food.

"This is a gift I brought you from the city. Do you like it?"

Sean took out the gift he brought for Emily - a piece of fine cloth, and as expected, Emily showed a surprised expression.

"How did you know I liked this, Haley?"

Yes, it was Haley who told Sean about Emily's hobby of sewing.

Sean did not deny it either: "When that day comes, I will also tell you a piece of news, you will definitely like it."

Sean plans to introduce the rat man "House" to Emily. It would be even better if Emily could learn House's skills.

-----------------

It was another shift change. Emily said goodbye to Sean with a smile and turned to join the busy work in the restaurant and bar.

The purpose of coming to the Starfruit Restaurant and Bar has been achieved, and Sean is ready to return home.

The spring door of the tavern creaked shut, and he had just taken a step out of the tavern when he heard Gus's voice coming from the bushes next door.

"Linus, don't worry, I know it's you. I don't mean to look down on you, I just want to say that as a chef, I won't let anyone in Stardew Valley go hungry. So this is for you, don't do those things anymore."

Why is Gus here? Shouldn't he be busy in the store right now?

Sean was full of doubts, and his feet stopped involuntarily as if they were under a spell.

"Is he calling Linus?" Sean muttered to himself.

"Did I hear it wrong, or is it a coincidence? Someone was looking for food in a trash can and was discovered by Guts? But how could this be Linus! He is a reclusive boss, how could he do such a thing? Is this world upside down?"

Just as Sean was lost in thought, he ran into Gus who was returning in a hurry.

"Gus, why are you so flustered? What happened?"

"It's nothing, just a naughty raccoon making quite a noise there, so I went to chase it away." Gus made an excuse and hurried into the tavern.

Seeing that Gus didn't want to say more, Sean tactfully didn't ask any further questions.

It's better not to interfere in the boss's affairs. Linus must have had his own long-term plans for doing this. It can't be that his brain is confused due to practice. Otherwise, the so-called natural way is too...

Sean is self-aware and prepares to return to his farm.

"My friend, please stay."

Just after leaving Pelican Town, Linus's weathered voice came from the bushes nearby.

Sean thought to himself that something was wrong, as expected, the mouth is the source of trouble, and this time he was stopped.

He hurriedly stopped to express his deepest respect to Linus, thanking him for his heroic help in the tomb last time.

"I am just following the way of nature and eradicating those evil things that don't belong here. You don't have to take it to heart."

Linus's expression was as calm as water, as if it was just a small task that he had done easily.

Sean naturally thanked him again and again.

"Did you also hear what Gus said just now?" Linus unexpectedly brought up the matter.

"Yes, could it be that senior really..." Sean hesitated to speak.

"Yes." Linus did not deny it. "I went through the trash can for this little guy in my hand."

In Linus's hand, there was an owl cub.

Its round eyes sparkled with curiosity and timidity. Its body was covered with a layer of silky soft fur, which was mottled with black spots mixed in the white tail.

The little claws tightly grasped Linus' fingers, looking pitiful and cute.

Sean recognized it as the famous cute owl - the Snowy Owl.

"I rescued this by chance. My natural way of life adheres to the principle of not killing animals as much as possible, so when I had a choice, I could only look through the trash can to find some meat for this cub."

Linus looked at Sean and said, "Since I have met you now, it means that this little guy is destined to be with you. Are you willing to take care of this little guy?"

Sean looked at the adorable owl cub, thought for a moment, nodded and agreed: "I am willing to adopt it."

"I'll call it 'Flying Feather'. I hope it can fly freely in the vast sky." Sean said as he reached out and touched the down feathers on the back of the snowy owl's head.

"Nice name, I hope you can take good care of it." Linus nodded slightly and handed the cub carefully to Sean.

Then his figure gradually disappeared into the deep bushes and disappeared.
