And we're on the road again. I'm back in my slit between the wooden boards and the group is chattering away in a relaxed manner. Ah, how refreshing. Oh, there's also Sven's dad who's laughing maniacally while Sven watches like he's looking at a crazy person on the street.
The dad notices the gaze," Son, do you know how much profit we can make out of these seeds? Food that grows once a day and they're delicious as well! HAHA! If only we could plant and grow some of them ourselves and sell them on the road..." He looks a little downhearted.
"Oh can't we just plant them here?", Sven shuffles over to the board I'm underneath and lifts it up to reveal a sprout in some dirt.
The dad follows behind,"Hmm? How long has this been here? What kind of plant is it?"
UHHHH, YEAH, I also want to know the answer to that question. He must have noticed me during a time when I wasn't in the plant.
"Umm, I'm not exactly sure, but if this plant can grow here, can't that one grow too" He points to the Kami fruit seeds.
The dad thinks for a second before humming in agreement,"It's worth a try." He takes one of the Kami fruit seeds and tucks it under the dirt, a distance away from me. He turns his head and points at someone using his eyes," Go get some water." The man immediately leaves and returns a little while later with the water and they pour a little on both plants. "We'll come back tomorrow to see if it's grown." And with that, they continue on with they're day.

The next day, they open up the board to see five juicy looking Kami fruit tangled around a mess of shrubs. The bushes have kind of shaped itself to the available space below the wagon. I couldn't really control it and ended up getting tangled in the middle of the whole mess. The guys were surprised at first, but quickly calmed down and decided to create a new job. Pruning the Kami fruit bush and harvesting the fruit. And this is how they became aware of my existence, the second main tree, though they pretty much ignored me and only water me along with the Kami fruit to see what I would grow into.
