Planet Agri　Episode 8. "Repair"

When they arrived at the administration center, the doctor explained the situation to Myrura, the center's director.

"I understand. The farmers are out in the fields harvesting after receiving the news. Ginrei-san, please rest on the bed in the infirmary. The doctor can wait in the guest room."

Myrura led Ginrei into the doctor's office. The female doctor greeted Myrura and Ginrei.

"Ginrei-san, please take this bed."

The doctor said to Ginrei to the bed in the back.

"Thank you. I'm going to rest for a while."

"Yes. We'll have some fresh vegetables for you soon."

Myrura said and left the room.The medical attendant closed the curtains around the bed.

After waiting for a while, there was a knock on the door of the room. A middle-aged man, a young man, and a boy were standing there. The middle-aged man was putting food on a tray. Ginrei is lying on a bed in the back. The medical attendant pointed to a corner separated by a curtain.

"Miss Ginrei. I've brought you some food. I'll open the curtain."

The doctor opened the curtains. Ginrei was sitting on a white bed with her upper body upright and her hands on her sides.

"You're from Earth, are you?"

The young man asked.

"Yes. That's how it used to be.　I'm a walker now. Ouch. ......"

"Well, you should eat it anyway. Oh, but first, put some of this on the wound."

The boy held out a poultice. Ginrei rolled up his clothes and applied the poultice to the painful wound on his side. The middle-aged man raised the table on the bed.

It's pickled cucumbers in dashi broth and vinegared tomatoes and cucumbers.

"

"Thank you. I'll take it."

Ginrei happily started eating the dashi-zuke.

"Oh, I knew it!　　I can feel the clear energy of the cucumbers soaking into my astral body!"

Ginrei was thrilled to have a meal she hadn't had in a long time.

"How does it taste?"

"It's delicious. It reminds me of when I was in Japan."

"Are you Japanese?"

"Yes, I am. When I was alive in Japan, I was a swimming instructor, but I was attacked and killed by a thug whose mind was controlled by the demon world. I was asked to become a walker by the high-ranking power Miss Suiren."

Ginrei ate a cucumber as she spoke.

"You're a small fry to be attacked by an octopus."

The boy teased her.

"Because I'm just a rookie."

"But it's cool to be a warrior, isn't it? I can only do this kind of thing because I'm a farmer, so it was kind of frustrating to watch it on TV."

The middle-aged man smirked.

"The fight against the demon world is not just about fighting on the front lines. There are people who grow vegetables so I can repair my astral body like this. You do your best as a farmer."

"Yes, yes!"　

Ginrei finished the two dishes in no time.

"Thank you. It was delicious. By the way, are you guys at ......?"

"Yes. My name is Hyouta. I'm a farmer on Earth, and I was brought here by Miss Suiren to get new seeds. This is my grandfather, Torakichi. ......"

"Grandfather?　　But he's so young."

"Yes, yes. Grandpa is still a farmer here, so he's back to his younger self.　An astral body can do that. And this is..."

"I am Atsushi."

"Atsushi-kun. Thank you for the poultice. It worked."

"When I return to Earth, should I tell Ginrei-san's parents that I became a walker?"

Hyota asked with a strange look on his face.

" But I don't know they I believe that, so I'll leave that up to you."

"Well, ......, I understand."

"Well, anyway, we'll bring you some vegetables for a while, and you can eat a lot of them to repair your astral body."

"Right."

"What are you going to do when you're healed?"

"Well, I don't know yet. Wait a minute. ......"

Ginrei then sent a telepathy to Glynn.

"Glynn, what are you going to do after this?"

"We're going to the remote planet Hazar. It was invaded by the demon world quite some time ago and we are waiting for backup."

"O.K."

"I've asked my friend, and he say that after this we will go to the planet Hazar for support."

Where's Hazar?　　Is it far?"

Hyota asked with concern.

"He said it was remote, so it must be far. Don't worry, I'm not alone."

"I'm sure you're right.　Well, we'll leave you now, lest you get tired."

Torakichi then took the empty dishes and headed for the door.

"We'll be back."

"See you later, sis."

The three of them quietly left the room.

For the next three days, Ginrei ate the food Hyota and the others brought to her and recovered completely.

"I would like to thank you all for everything. My astral body has been repaired. Now I'm going to go fight again!"

Ginrei made a speech in front of everyone in the hall, and then took a cab with the doctor to the airport.
